Chapter 183 — Zhong Yongliang's Scheme

In all of vast Songshan No.1 High School, there were only three such girls! Two of them he simply could not touch, for whoever touched them was asking for death, and Zou Ruoming was no fool!

Gu Mengyao's father was the chairman of the Gu Group, a man who could shake Songshan with a stamp of his foot, and only someone with a family background like Zhong Yongliang's dared to pursue her, yet even Zhong Yongliang did not dare to use force.

And Shen Yushu... that little girl even Zhong Yongliang dared not touch, with Wu Xiaocan's painful lesson still fresh before everyone's eyes!

But Tang Yun came with no such complications. Zou Ruoming had looked into her family background until it was crystal clear. Her parents were both laid-off workers, her father bedridden for years from a work injury, and her mother running a food stall in the snack street behind the school!

A family that could not even get compensation for the father's medical bills, what power could they possibly have? So in Zou Ruoming's eyes, having Tang Yun in his grasp was a foregone conclusion, and even if he forced himself upon her, a family like hers could only swallow the insult in silence!

That was also why Zou Ruoming had been so unscrupulous from the start in pursuing Tang Yun, driving her nearly to despair with no way out, for in his view, if Wei Zhao had not butted in, Tang Yun would already have been his woman!

Now Tang Yun had actually accepted Wei Zhao's confession. Saving a beauty might be a cliche, but it was also very effective, and it must have been his own turn as the villain that day that had given Wei Zhao his chance!

Zou Ruoming felt some regret. If he had known it would turn out like this, he might as well have hired a few underlings to play the villains and then shown off his own prowess!

Sitting under the basketball hoop, Zou Ruoming sulked, and his lackeys, knowing he was in a foul mood, stood by in fearful silence, not daring to speak...

"Brother Ming, what's the matter? Why so glum?" Zhong Yongliang had spotted Zou Ruoming sitting under the hoop from far away with a miserable look on his face, his expression shifting between anger and regret, and he could naturally guess why. At once Zhong Yongliang keenly realized this was a perfect chance to teach Wei Zhao a lesson!

"Oh, it's Liangzi..." Zou Ruoming lifted his eyelids for a glance, and seeing it was Zhong Yongliang, he felt no embarrassment. Zhong Yongliang was no better off than he was, having also suffered at Wei Zhao's hands, with even his father's right-hand man thrown into the lockup. The two of them were just the pot calling the kettle black. "Come to laugh at me..."

"Brother Ming, what kind of talk is that! I have always respected you..." Zhong Yongliang slapped a lackey standing beside Zou Ruoming, and the lackey hurriedly gave up his seat so Zhong Yongliang could sit down beside Zou Ruoming.

"Liangzi, your brother has been slapped in the face this time..." Zou Ruoming sighed and said bitterly, "Everyone who matters in this school knows I was pursuing Tang Yun, yet that bastard Wei Zhao beat me to it. I cannot swallow this insult..."

"Brother Ming, I think you have just been too conservative in this matter..." Zhong Yongliang said with an air of deep regret. "With Tang Yun's little family background, she cannot make any big waves! As the saying goes, the early bird gets the worm. Brother Ming, if you had just taken her by force, would Tang Yun not be yours by now?"

"As for me, even if I wanted to use force now, I would not dare! You know as well as I do, Gu Mengyao's family is even more powerful than mine..."

"Ah, Liangzi, you are so right! You have no idea how much I regret it now!" Zou Ruoming's face darkened. "If I had known, I would have forced myself on her. Your brother is a professional at that sort of thing, I have done it before!" "Exactly..." Zhong Yongliang said. "Then how could that dog Wei Zhao have beaten you to her..."

"But now it is too late, and I am full of regret!" Zou Ruoming had been holding it all in, and now that a school bully of matching status had come along, one who shared his misery and shared the same enemy in Wei Zhao, he naturally poured out his troubles to him.

"Brother Ming, I cannot agree with you there!" Zhong Yongliang suddenly changed his tune. "As the saying goes, a good meal is never too late. It is not too late for you to act now! No matter how fast Wei Zhao moved, he could not have won Tang Yun in just a day or two. If you take her now, she will have no choice but to follow you..."

Zhong Yongliang was not a cultured man, and he had no idea whether his proverb was used correctly, but luckily Zou Ruoming was just as ignorant and had no idea what 'a good meal is never too late' really meant. He only felt that what Zhong Yongliang said made a great deal of sense!

Slapping his thigh, Zou Ruoming cried out in delight, "Right! Why did I not think of that? It is not too late for me to act now! Once Tang Yun becomes mine, what the hell can Wei Zhao play with! Liangzi, you have truly awakened the dreamer with a single word..."

To show off his own learning and match Zhong Yongliang's literary phrase, Zou Ruoming also produced a fancy line of his own.

"Ah, Brother Ming, your road of love already has hope, while mine still needs work!" Seeing Zou Ruoming take his advice, Zhong Yongliang was overjoyed. Once Tang Yun was ruined by Zou Ruoming, that kid Wei Zhao would be miserable, hahaha... On the surface, however, Zhong Yongliang still looked sad and helpless.

"Liangzi, if this works out, I will thank you handsomely..." Zou Ruoming clenched his fists as if seeing hope. "But when the time comes, I will ask you to advise me, and you must not refuse!" "Rest assured, no problem..." Zhong Yongliang agreed happily. Come to him for rotten ideas? Perfect, that was his specialty!

Zhong Yongliang hummed a little tune as he walked toward the classroom, while Zou Ruoming, his worry resolved, happily started a game of basketball with his men...

Before he even reached the classroom door, Zhong Yongliang saw his underling Zhang Naipao running wildly toward him, as if seeing a savior when he caught sight of him.

"Paozi, what are you doing? Running so fast, training for a marathon for the sports meet?" Zhong Yongliang was in a genuinely good mood today, so he joked with Zhang Naipao.

"Brother Liang, I beg you, please save my father, save my little brother!" Zhang Naipao said, dropping to his knees before Zhong Yongliang with a thud.

This sudden and baffling move from Zhang Naipao left Zhong Yongliang stunned.

"Paozi, what on earth is wrong with you? What happened to your father and your brother? How am I supposed to save you? Can you speak clearly..." Zhong Yongliang frowned, utterly confused and at a loss.

"Brother Liang, please promise me!" Zhang Naipao remained on his knees, pleading.
