Chapter 31 — A Profound Lesson

"Sister Yaoyao, Wei Zhao really is quite formidable after all, isn't he?" Shen Yushu said to Gu Mengyao standing beside her.
"What does it have to do with me whether he's formidable or not?" Gu Mengyao was shaken as well. If Wei Zhao's kick that sent Zhong Yongliang tumbling yesterday could be put down to a sneak attack, and his business in the restroom today to despicable and shameless tricks, then what he had just done could only be genuine skill.
Gu Mengyao knew very well what sort of person Kang Xiaobo was. Although she had never spoken to him, boys of his type were precisely the timid, trouble-fearing sort who ran far away from any fight. And so, the only one fighting alone here had been Wei Zhao.
She looked at Gao Xiaofu and Zhang Naipao lying on the ground, both groaning as they clutched a single spot on their bodies. Which was to say, Wei Zhao must have taken the two of them down with just one move.
"He's qualified to serve as your shield now. After what happened today, I'm sure Wei Zhao's name will really ring out at school, and then which one of those flies that pester you will dare come close?" Shen Yushu said with a giggle.
Gu Mengyao gave an "hmph" and said nothing.
After putting Gao Xiaofu and Zhang Naipao down, Wei Zhao patted Kang Xiaobo on the shoulder. "You all right? Heh heh."
"I'm fine." Kang Xiaobo snapped out of his shock. He had not expected Wei Zhao to be so fierce, taking down Zhong Yongliang's two ace fighters with a couple of moves. A true master indeed never showed his hand. "Bro, you're amazing."
"Zhong Yongliang, I really didn't want it to come to this. But you forced my hand. There was no choice." Wei Zhao walked toward him, looking perfectly innocent.
Zhong Yongliang, naturally, was not someone to be scared out of his wits. Wei Zhao might be tough, but he had seen it all, too, and it was merely a bit of sly trickery. While Gao Xiaofu wasn't paying attention, Wei Zhao had kicked him and snatched the chair leg from his hand, and then, catching Zhang Naipao off guard, had swung it at him.
Thus, Zhong Yongliang did not believe Wei Zhao was really all that capable, reckoning that he was mostly just lucky. He reached out a hand, and a dagger was now in his grip, which made him feel a little more settled inside.
"Wei Zhao, save that useless talk. If I don't kill you today, I won't be able to hold my head up in this school anymore." With that, Zhong Yongliang flashed the gleaming dagger and stabbed at Wei Zhao.
Wei Zhao had not expected Zhong Yongliang to resort to such an extreme measure. This kid acted with absolutely no regard for the consequences. If a murder were to happen at school, then no matter how capable his family was, he would still be in for a world of trouble.
Wei Zhao decided to teach him a profound lesson; otherwise, if anyone but himself had been standing here today, they might well have been stabbed. As Zhong Yongliang's dagger came thrusting at him, Wei Zhao grabbed his wrist.
By now Zhong Yongliang was nearly insane. Even with his wrist caught, he kept twisting his body, trying to use his momentum to drive the dagger into Wei Zhao's flesh, all the while howling crazily, "Wei Zhao, I'll f***ing kill you!"
In the instant Zhong Yongliang charged over, Shen Yushu could not help covering her mouth. She knew what Zhong Yongliang was capable of, and she didn't know whether Wei Zhao could dodge such a blow. She wanted to cry out and stop him, but it was already too late...
However, when Wei Zhao caught Zhong Yongliang's wrist, Shen Yushu finally breathed a sigh of relief. And Gu Mengyao, standing off to the side, seemed to heave a slight sigh of relief as well.
Wei Zhao increased the strength in his grip. Zhong Yongliang suddenly felt as if his wrist had been clamped by an iron vise, tighter and tighter, the pain making his entire arm tremble. His palm opened involuntarily, and the dagger dropped onto the rooftop with a clatter.
