Chapter 28: Roar
2022 Words
I arrived at the bank, took a number for the queue, and when it was my turn, I took out my card and handed it to the counter staff, saying, "Withdraw money..."
The counter staff glanced at me, didn't take the card, but pointed to the notice posted nearby and said, "Can't read? For amounts under twenty thousand, go to the ATM."
I was a bit annoyed listening to it, and I said, "Take four hundred thousand..."
When she heard my words, she laughed, looked me up and down, and said, "Four hundred thousand?"
Her words carried a hint of mockery, but she still took the card and swiped it on the machine. Suddenly, her expression turned a bit unpleasant. I watched as she looked up and scrutinized me for a moment, then said, "Wait a moment..."
I stood in front of the counter, watching her make a phone call, saying that she didn't have that much cash on hand. After hanging up, I saw someone come out from the back, wearing glasses, a chubby guy. He was carrying a box of money, glanced at me, and also seemed puzzled.
They're probably all wondering why I have so much money, but I didn't care, just calmly waiting.
After a while, they counted the money and handed it to me. I looked at the stacks of money in front of the bank counter, which were over twenty centimeters high. I held them in my arms and then left, while the people around me looked at me with strange eyes.
I stepped outside and saw Zeng Hong and the others out there. When they saw me come out with so much money, Zeng Hong and the women behind her looked at me in shock. I walked up to Zeng Hong with the money, threw it at her, and it hit her so hard that she kept stumbling backward.
"Zeng Hong, I've returned the money to you, ten thousand yuan per slap, right..."
I smashed and scolded her at the same time, while Zeng Hong stood there motionless, her eyes reddened with anger. But I didn't feel sorry for her. Those women were chattering behind her, but many people's eyes were glued to the money on the ground.
Zeng Hong suddenly pointed at me and said, "Zhao Fei, do you dare to humiliate me like this?"
I said, "You don't humiliate me, I will humiliate you? You can only humiliate others, but not be humiliated by others?"Who do you think you are? Just because your family is rich, huh?
"Zhao Fei, you bastard, you bastard, hmph, just wait for me..." Zeng Hong yelled at me.
After she finished yelling, she left, and a woman suddenly said, "Zeng Hong, the money..."
"Don't want them anymore, they're all yours..."
After Zeng Hong shouted like that, those women started to get restless and began grabbing money right in front of me. I didn't feel any heartache; instead, I felt very relieved. Damn, throwing money at someone was a first for me, and it was Zeng Hong. I really didn't expect it to feel this good. I felt so light and carefree watching Zeng Hong leave in anger. For the first time, I truly felt that having money was great.
I called Wang Gui and asked him to come out for a meal, then went to the school to find Xuan Ling. When she saw me at the school gate, she ran over, looked at me with concern, and asked, "You didn't get into a fight, did you?"
I said, "No, I have money. I'll pay her back. It's fine, let's go eat."
Xuan Ling listened and was still very worried about me. Cheng Na walked over and said, "Zhao Fei, last time I wasn't here, Xuan Ling got beaten. Let me tell you, if Zeng Hong dares to hit Xuan Ling again, I won't hold back."
I said, "Don't give me face. You can be as rude as you want, it has nothing to do with me and her."
"You are also someone who turns against people. You used to follow them like a little dog..." Cheng Na said mercilessly.
Looking back, I did act a bit like a sycophant, but at the time, I didn't realize it. I just thought that Zeng Hong and I were friends, but that wasn't the case. I gave a wry smile and said, "Come on, let's go eat..."
I brought Xuan Ling and Cheng Na to the school's food court, found a roadside stall, and sat down. Wang Gui was already waiting for me. I introduced Wang Gui to them and then ordered the food.
Xuan Ling grabbed my hand and said, "Zhao Fei, there's no need to make a big deal out of this. I'm really fine. Someone like Zeng Hong will never let it go easily. We can only stay far away, or it will be endless."
"What's there to be afraid of? Just because she has money? Can money really trump reason?" Cheng Na said angrily.
I nodded and said, "This matter is because of me, I won't let you suffer because of me..."
Xuan Ling held my hand tightly, and the look in her eyes was very warm. Suddenly, Wang Gui kicked my foot and gestured towards the distance. I looked over and saw Huang Qin coming with three people, followed by Zeng Hong and a group of chattering women, making a grand entrance.
"Zhao Fei, let's call the police. Don't go..." Xuan Ling said nervously.
I stood up and said, "Don't worry about it, Cheng Na, you all go back first."
Xuan Ling and Cheng Na stood up. Xuan Ling was very worried, but Cheng Na held her back. Wang Gui and I walked towards them. The streets of the food city were very narrow, so I stood in front of them, and they couldn't get through.
Huang Qin was chewing gum, and seeing me standing there, he spat the gum on me. Wang Gui was a bit angry and wanted to retaliate, but I stopped him. I didn't want to fight; there were too many of them. I said, "Huang Qin, this has nothing to do with you."
Zeng Hong said, "Huang Qin, it's up to you..."
After she finished speaking, she didn't even look at me and headed straight for the food stall. I knew she was going for Xuan Ling. I hurriedly tried to stop her, but the person behind Huang Qin immediately lunged at me and grabbed me. Wang Gui saw something was off and kicked the person holding me away. Huang Qin took out a belt and whipped it at me with all her might, causing me to ache all over. I turned around and glared at Huang Qin, saying, "
Huang Qin cracked a slight smile and said, "But I want to fight with you."
After he finished speaking, he threw a punch at me. I grabbed Huang Qin's fist. Damn it, just because I don't want to fight doesn't mean I can't. I threw an elbow, hitting Huang Qin's mouth directly. His mouth immediately started bleeding, blood gushing out.
Huang Qin looked at me in pain and said, "What are you looking at? Go ahead and hit me!"
Without saying a word, Wang Gui kicked straight away. He was also skilled in fighting, with every punch hitting hard and targeting vital spots. Wang Gui kicked one person in the chest, knocking him to the ground, and then followed up with a punch that landed squarely on a yellow-haired guy's cheek, making his mouth bleed.
I was just about to go help, but suddenly I heard Xuan Ling and Cheng Na screaming. I turned around and saw that it was actually Zeng Hong who had surrounded them. I watched as Zeng Hong grabbed Xuan Ling by the hair, and the women around her were slapping Zeng Hong one by one. Cheng Na was being held by three girls. Although she was resisting with all her might, she was alone against a group of about ten people. There was no way she could fight
I watched them one by one slapping Xuanling, and I was very angry. I felt an urge to cry. I was really furious and charged over, but someone held me back from behind.
I turned around and saw Huang Qin; he was holding onto me tightly. I kept hitting him, and he was in so much pain, but Wang Gui kept kicking him. Yet, he wouldn't let go. I said, "Let go of me, damn it, let go..."
Huang Qin said, "I promised Zeng Hong to deal with you, so I will definitely deal with you."
Wang Gui came over directly, grabbed Huang Qin's hair, and with his disabled hand, kept smashing his nose. Huang Qin, in pain, immediately let go, blood splattering from his nose.
But the three people behind him directly jumped on him, knocking Wang Gui to the ground. I wanted to help Wang Gui, but he said, "Brother Fei, save my sister-in-law..."
Huang Qin was very angry and kicked Wang Gui. Although Wang Gui was ruthless, now surrounded by four people, he could only cover his head and endure the beating. I didn't save Wang Gui; he could handle it, but Xuan Ling couldn't. I had to go over. I ran frantically towards the food stall.
My eyes were bloodshot as I rushed in, acting like a madman. I kicked the woman next to Zeng Hong, sending her flying. Another woman came up to grab me, but I slapped her down, making her fall to the ground. My vision was already red, and I didn't care if they were women or not. I grabbed a woman with long hair and threw her to the ground.
"Hit me... You took my money, so put in some effort for me..."
Zeng Hong roared angrily as I watched a dozen women rush towards me, their sticks whistling through the air towards me. One of them hit my head, making me a bit dizzy. I didn't care anymore, grabbed one woman and threw her down, knocking the others to the ground. My vision was already red, and I was hitting hard without holding back. I used both fists and feet, watching as several women lay on the ground, groaning in pain.
Suddenly, someone grabbed me. I looked and saw it was Xuan Ling. She was crying and said, "Stop hitting him, Zhao Fei, please, stop hitting him..."
I looked at Xuan Ling's condition, and it was really tragic. My eyes welled up with tears, and I wanted to cry. Her face was swollen, and there was blood at the corners of her mouth, but she still held onto me, telling me not to hit her anymore.
I glared at Zeng Hong, and she glared back at me, both of us with tears in our eyes, both unwilling to back down. She was a rich girl, spoiled and pampered since childhood, and always doted on by everyone. Of course, she wouldn't accept being hit by me. But this matter couldn't be overlooked. I walked up to Zeng Hong, grabbed her hair, and she tilted her head back in pain. I clenched my fist tightly, ready to hit her
I choked up a bit and said, "Zeng Hong, let's just leave this matter alone, okay? Don't push me."
Zeng Hong glared at me and said, "You used to be just my little follower, and now you dare to hit me? Are you kidding?"You tell me how to calculate it.
"You can come at me, I'll take it, but don't touch my friends. I said, don't touch my friends..." I said each word clearly.
Zeng Hong looked at Xuan Ling, suddenly smiled, and said, "Alright, forget it, forget it..."
I heard her say that and let go of my hand. I didn't care whether she was serious or not. Suddenly, I saw Zeng Hong take out a lighter, light it, and rush towards Xuan Ling. In that instant, Xuan Ling's hair caught fire...
I looked at it and was horrified...
