The second day morning. Tang Nu and Su Can had prearranged a time to have fried dough fritters for breakfast near the school, before entering through the school gate. They sensed something was amiss as they saw from afar a group of people gathered under the banyan tree in front of the flower bed.

It turned out to be Zhang Xian, Zhuang Zhiyu and their gang; the whole bunch were agitatedly talking about something, with some boys' faces bruised and bandaged up. It looked like the situation was complicated.

Su Can did not go over to ask them. He walked straight ahead with Tang Fu, separating at a junction between two buildings before returning to their classroom. Soon after, he heard yesterday's rumors.

Jiang Mingjun received the news first and told Su Can in class: "Yesterday Zhao Chengyan invited a group of people from Jianyang Sports School nearby, blocking Zhang Xian and company; did you know"

Su Can shook his head to indicate he didn't know. Jiang Mingjun then explained the general situation.

When Su Can heard 'Jianyang Sports School', he suddenly recalled something and had a rough impression of it. During university in Chengdu, he had heard about this sports school; many universities back then talked about Jianyang Sports School, even the most outstanding students would look upon it with reverence.

The principal of Jianyang Sports School was Li Jianyang, who was an instructor well-known throughout China for martial arts. He had won several championships in various disciplines such as freestyle wrestling and judo, rumored to be a disciple from Shaolin Temple. Currently, he seemed to have become the deputy director of the district sports committee; practically everyone familiar with Chengdu knew about Li Jianyang.

The most important thing was that Li Jianyang was involved in some criminal gangs in Chengdu due to his famous martial arts skills.

Magazines like 'Kung Fu' had featured him, and he also used the cover of being a deputy director at the district sports committee. His reputation was immense; many entertainment venues and nightclubs relied on him for protection. He was close with Liu Cheng before his downfall, often mingling with police officers who called him brothers. His network reached all the way into government agencies.

With such a formidable principal, Jianyang Sports School's students were naturally not to be underestimated. There had been instances where Li Jianyang personally led a group of his students in gang fights when some rowdy criminal gangs disagreed and were about to fight.

Led by someone who was entrusted to mediate the conflict, he sat on a street with a large number of students, causing both sides to hesitate and not dare to start fighting due to him being present. One could imagine how powerful Li Jianyang's influence had been under Liu Cheng's protection.

In Wuhou District where Jianyang Sports School was located, the student management issue from this school has always been a major headache. Once while drunk driving, he caused an accident and when three big men came out to curse at him, he took them down with one hand and had them taken away by the police for questioning. As soon as they left, he went back in and slapped each of them, saying, "Look, these guys are my buddies, if I wanted to take care of you it would be a piece of cake!"

Such arrogance was something Su Can vaguely heard about during his university days, like old Chengdu legends. After Liu Cheng's downfall, Li Jianyang did become more reserved but still commanded respect; even some younger criminals often boasted their connections to him as if they had been given a protective cloak.

Su Can hadn't expected that today Zhang Xian and Zhuang Zhiyu might have encountered students from Jianyang Sports School. With Liu Cheng's premature downfall, although Jianyang Sports School was on the decline, it still seemed quite formidable.

Zhao Chengyan was Liu Cheng's adopted son; considering this, how could Li Jianyang of Jianyang Sports School not know him

Zhao Chengyan's mobilization of connections in this matter is indeed very troublesome.

Jiang Mingjun continued, wanting to see Su Can's expression. "Last night, Zhao Chengyan invited Chang Guangrui and a group from the sports school outside the campus and intercepted Zhang Xian and Zhuo Zhiyu and others. Zhang Xian and the rest tried to escape but failed."

This group of people still had quite measured actions; they didn't touch any girls, but those with substantial family backgrounds like Zhang Xian and Zhuo Zhiyu only suffered minor injuries. However, Zhuo Zhiyu was viciously kicked in the buttocks by Qian Long who secretly harbored resentment towards him, making it difficult for him to walk normally.

The injuries of others were all visible; even that student Wei Chao had purple and blue bruises around his eyes. It seemed these people knew how to differentiate their targets, deciding beforehand whom they would hit harder or softer.

Zhao Chengyan's recent silence was because he was planning this.

From the momentum when Zhang Xian and others sought him out earlier, Wang Weiwei's influence in the school was naturally not low. However, since Zhang Xian suffered such a significant loss, it could be said that they had dropped a heavy bomb into No. 27 High School.

Zhang Xian, Zhuo Zhiyu, and others now harbored deep hatred towards Zhao Chengyan but when Zhao Chengyan brought out Jianyang Sports School, the people Zhang Xian contacted were unwilling to get involved even if they were from nearby schools upon hearing about Jianyang Sports School.

The son of the Provincial Committee for United Front Work Department was beaten; this would not do!

Due to this matter, an urgent meeting was called by the school management who required each homeroom teacher to give their students a warning. When Wang Guwen from Class 3 stepped into the classroom, his steps were particularly heavy as he surveyed the class and said, "I believe you have already heard."

This immediately stirred up speculation in the entire class; many people asked what was happening, those who knew understood its significance.

Some who knew deeper reasons looked over at Su Can with a complex expression.

Wang Guwen continued, "I will remind you again. The outside world is very complicated and isn't the world for your age group to enter yet. Your main task now is studying; don't spend time gathering in places or playing around; avoid street food stalls and cold drink shops! I hope everyone heads home early today. Are you complaining about having too little homework"

The class immediately shook their heads.

At this moment, Jiang Mingjun whispered worriedly into Su Can's ear, his frightened gaze as if he had seen Su Can's bleak future, "Was that incident initiated by you"

Su Can nodded slightly. Jiang Mingjun fell silent.

Su Can naturally knew what Jiang Mingjun was thinking; this matter had exceeded his capacity to accept it. He could not provoke Zhao Chengyan or those students from Jianyang Sports School who were akin to a semi-organized student group, none dared offend them.

To them, No. 27 High School remained an incubator where they were protected like fragile yolks inside warm egg whites; many people here could not be provoked because you never knew what kind of power lay behind them.

Su Cen noticed Zhang Feifei standing behind the back door of his classroom and waved at him when she saw him.

No one started a commotion at this moment; everyone could tell from the dark clouds on Zhang Feifei's face that it was an expression that did not invite any gossip or romantic speculation.

Once outside, Zhang Feifei recalled yesterday’s scene where she was crying beside Zhang Xian and his friends after they were ambushed. She felt this was a shadow in her heart; although her eyes were still puffy from crying, makeup had concealed it somewhat. To Su Cen, she said, "I think you already know that things have escalated. Zhang Xian and the others were intercepted as soon as school let out yesterday."

Su Cen nodded his head, “Yes, I've heard about it. Sorry.”

"You don't need to say sorry for this." Zhang Feifei’s expression was cold. "Sorry doesn’t mean anything right now."

Su Cen was taken aback and simply replied with a “hm”.

Zhang Feifei stared at Su Cen, reminding herself that she was doing it out of respect for Wang Weiwei, who had originally commissioned them to help Zhang Xian. Although they were ambushed by the other side as well, if Su Cen was intercepted again like what happened with Zhang Xian, it would mean their circle’s reputation was at rock bottom. They failed to protect the person they were supposed to look out for, which was a far more brutal blow than being intercepted.

Zhang Feifei said, "I'm here to warn you that Zhao Chengyan will not let this go and his next target is definitely going to be you. For the next few days after school, it’s best if you take a car home from the school gate; don’t walk through any secluded areas alone. If Zhao Chengyan invites you out somewhere, under no circumstances should you agree! It's best that we’re informed of this."

"Why not tell the teacher" Su Cen asked in return, but received an eyeroll and promptly shut up.

"Thank you." As Zhang Feifei turned to leave, Su Cen addressed her back.

Zhang Feifei looked back at him, seemingly unwilling to say anything more. She pursed her lips in reply and left directly.

It seems he had fallen to the point where a group of high school students had to protect him.

Su Cen shook his head unhappily.

The things Zhang Feifei and the others were worried about eventually came true.

After dismissal, a group of people stood across the street. Leading them was Zhao Chengyan; by his side were Jianyang Sports School’s Chang Guangrui and other very cool and imposing figures.

"Su Cen, weren't you quite impressive that day You demanded an apology from me in front of so many boys and girls! How awesome! Now I demand an apology from you! Tell me sorry!" Zhao Chengyan blocked Su Cen’s exit with one hand on his shoulder.

"You want me to say sorry" Su Cen frowned slightly.

Chang Guangrui, who was about half a head taller than Zhao Chengyan, impatiently said at this moment. "Aren't you just wasting your breath I say we drag him into that alley and give him a good beating."

"Not yet, not yet! I want an apology first!" Zhao Chengyan said with the air of someone who has caught his prey. He stared intently at Su Can. At this moment, some people had gathered around, all looking curiously at the group blocking people off outside the school gate. This made Zhao Chengyan even more confident.

He glanced behind him to where Su Can was standing and shook his head. "Sorry guys, you might be disappointed."

Zhao Chengyan, Chang Guangrui, Qian Long, and others all turned pale at this moment, just as they were about to react, someone shouted from behind them, "What's going on Who among you wants to touch my cousin"

The students turned around to see eight people who had rushed over from nearby. They were wearing suits and polished leather shoes, all of them employees of Pineapple Media.

Most of these people were recent university graduates; some had played for the school team while others came from a sports college. They naturally carried an air of being a bit of a ruffian and in college would definitely be one of those who stayed up late to watch pornographic videos, looking respectable but actually quite lecherous; they might even be student union members or treat their female classmates with great affection, yet beneath the surface were extremely dangerous.

Now that they had graduated, they looked lost and Pineapple Media had swallowed them all whole.

Compared to Zhao Chengyan’s group of Jianyang Sports School students, these people didn’t seem any worse off in terms of age, experience, or aura. After all, their ages were there for everyone to see; it was hard to gauge just who they might be at a glance.

At this moment, Zhao Chengyan and the others finally realized that Su Can’s fearless attitude was because he had some backing.

"Alright, I didn't expect you to have so many people looking out for you," Chang Guangrui nodded his head. He then signaled for his group of sports school students to disperse. With a look of having been snubbed, he pointed at Su Can and Zhao Qiang and the others, "Wait until tomorrow."

After Zhao Chengyan and company had dispersed, Su Can raised an eyebrow at Zhao Qiang beside him.

"Cousin"

Zhao Qiang chuckled awkwardly. "Alright already! I didn't have a choice! Shouldn’t I say, who among you dares to bully my boss’s little brother That would make it seem like how rich and powerful your family is!"

Three chapters for today. The next day will see continued explosive growth; the final act of the first round of voting has arrived. I hope everyone can continue to support me!

Swordfish keeps his promise, and the brothers' monthly votes are also intense!

You guys are strong.tch on his body. With one sweeping leg kick, he knocked him down and held him in reverse grip, causing the other party's hand to twist with a clicking sound as they howled in agony.Zhang Sheng raised...
