Chapter 68 — A Gentleman's Revenge Can Wait Ten Years (Please Vote, Bookmark and Support)

...

Wang Zhifeng knew Wei Zhao had been introduced by Gu Pengzhan, so he wanted to take the chance to do Wei Zhao a favor. After all, besides Class Five, the senior-year key classes also included the parallel Class Six. Moving Wei Zhao to Class Six would keep him from clashing with Zhong Yongliang again.

Wei Zhao could not help laughing when he heard Wang Zhifeng's words. So Director Wang was afraid Zhong Yongliang and his crew would make more trouble for him. But Wei Zhao's real purpose was to stay with Gu Mengyao. If she did not change classes, how could he transfer so casually?

Besides, Wei Zhao had never taken Zhong Yongliang and those clowns seriously, and he was sure they would not dare to prance around in front of him again.

"Thank you, Director Wang. I'm doing fine in this class. I've just gotten used to the environment, and I don't want to switch again." Wei Zhao politely declined Wang Zhifeng's kind offer.

"I see, then fine. If anything happens in the future, don't be too impulsive. Report it to the school right away, and the school will handle it." Seeing Wei Zhao insist, Wang Zhifeng said no more.

After what had happened this time, Zhong Yongliang and his lot would probably behave themselves for a while.

During evening self-study, the English quiz scores came out. Worthy of a key class in a key high school. Even though Kang Xiaobo had said the questions were hard, out of a full score of one hundred fifty, quite a few people had scored over one hundred thirty. Kang Xiaobo got one hundred eleven, Wei Zhao one hundred nine.

Of course Wei Zhao had done it on purpose. Keeping his grades a little below the middle of the class was enough. There was no need to draw attention.

What surprised Wei Zhao, however, was that among those scoring above one hundred thirty, Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu had taken two of the spots.

It seemed these two rich girls were not empty-headed after all, Wei Zhao thought to himself.

"Not bad, Boss. Pretty good for your first test." Kang Xiaobo saw that Wei Zhao was only two points below him, and was privately surprised.

"There was some luck involved." Wei Zhao thought to himself that if he had known the questions were this hard, he would have missed a few more.

"Want to grab something to eat tonight? My treat?" Kang Xiaobo had mentioned it to Wei Zhao at noon, but Wei Zhao had not agreed then, saying they would talk about it in the evening.

"Let's do it on the weekend. My home is pretty far from school, and if I go back late there will be no bus." Wei Zhao said to Kang Xiaobo with some apology.

"I see, that's true. There are only a few buses around the school, so let's talk about it on the weekend." Kang Xiaobo had clearly misunderstood what Wei Zhao meant.

Wei Zhao thought Kang Xiaobo was a decent guy and did not want to lie to him, but since he had misunderstood on his own, Wei Zhao would not point it out. What Wei Zhao really meant was that Gu Mengyao's villa was quite far from school, and Uncle Qing's car could not wait for him forever. If he was late, there would be no ride...

When school let out, Wei Zhao still left the school gate with Kang Xiaobo. Out of the corner of his eye he watched Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu get into Uncle Qing's Bentley, and only then said to Kang Xiaobo, "I'm off. See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow..." Kang Xiaobo had been in an excited state all day. He had wanted to have dinner with Wei Zhao that night and drink a little to be a real man for once, but since Wei Zhao had no time he had to drop the idea.

"In such a hurry to leave? Stop right there!" The sudden voice startled Kang Xiaobo. He looked up to see Zhong Yongliang, Zhang Naipao and Gao Xiaofu blocking his way. The one who had spoken was Gao Xiaofu.

During the break Zhong Yongliang had called home and learned that Black Panther had taken all the blame on himself. Even so, Zhong Yongliang had been cursed out badly by his father, which made him even more unhappy. All of this had been caused by Wei Zhao, yet Wei Zhao was someone he could not afford to provoke, so Zhong Yongliang could only stew in anger.

Seeing this, Gao Xiaofu offered a plan. Since they could not handle Wei Zhao for now, they could teach Kang Xiaobo beside him a lesson. Yesterday on the rooftop this kid had acted tough, and today he had rushed up to kick Brother Black Panther hard in the crotch. If they did not fix him, what were they keeping him for?

Zhong Yongliang's eyes lit up at once. Right, they could not mess with Wei Zhao, but Kang Xiaobo was a soft coward. Beating him up to vent their anger would be good too.

"Y-you... what do you want?" Although Kang Xiaobo had acted like a man these past two days, that was with Wei Zhao around. Now he was alone. He wanted to be tough, but he had to be able to pull it off. Clearly Zhong Yongliang and the other two meant no good, and fear rose in Kang Xiaobo's heart at once.

"What do we want? Don't you know what you've done these past two days?" Zhong Yongliang sneered and reached out to slap Kang Xiaobo hard on the cheek. "Kang Xiaobo, I never saw it before. So you're a hidden player, huh?"

"What did I do?" Kang Xiaobo knew that begging for mercy now would be useless. Since he had already made an enemy of Zhong Yongliang, he might as well offend him to the end. At worst he would take a beating. They could not beat him to death, could they?

"Still talking tough?" Zhong Yongliang looked as if Kang Xiaobo was already in his grasp. "What? You dare to do it but not admit it? Or is it that without that transfer student backing you up, you've lost your nerve?"

To be honest, only now did Zhong Yongliang finally let out a breath of pent-up anger, though on reflection it felt humiliating that he had sunk to bullying an ordinary classmate to vent his rage.

Kang Xiaobo knew he could not avoid a beating today. Dead either way, he stuck out his neck and a surge of heroism rose within him. "Zhong Yongliang, if you lay a hand on me today, one day I will pay you back tenfold and a hundredfold! If you've got guts, come on!"

After speaking, Kang Xiaobo closed his eyes, with the air of a martyr going to his death.

"Damn, still mouthing off? Interesting. Brothers, what are you standing around for? Get him!" Seeing that Kang Xiaobo did not kneel and beg for mercy, Zhong Yongliang found it boring and stopped wasting words on him.

"Brother Liang..." Gao Xiaofu suddenly tugged nervously at Zhong Yongliang's sleeve.

"What's wrong?" Zhong Yongliang frowned. "What is it?"

Gao Xiaofu pointed into the distance, then said in some panic, "Brother Liang, look over there..."

"What?" Zhong Yongliang glanced impatiently in the direction Gao Xiaofu was pointing, and was shocked by what he saw. Wei Zhao was walking toward them with a smile. To Zhong Yongliang's eyes, however, that smile looked like the grin of a devil.

Why had he come back? Hadn't he already left? Zhong Yongliang was greatly alarmed. This Wei Zhao was a madman. Once he got here, would there be anything good waiting for them?

Although he felt utterly humiliated and furious, even so Zhong Yongliang did not dare to clash head-on with Wei Zhao. Damn it, a gentleman's revenge can wait ten years. The humiliation I suffer today, one day I will repay tenfold and a hundredfold!

What Zhong Yongliang did not expect was that he was now using Kang Xiaobo's bold words himself in the blink of an eye.
