C25 – Tong Waner Was Caught
Wang Xiao didn’t know how many slaps he had given Yun Yi. When he was tired of the slaps, Yun Yi in front of him had already lost his human form. He looked like a pig head, and his swollen mouth was full of saliva.
“Big pot, nest, the wrong nest...”
Despite being struck so forcefully that it left him speechless, Yun Yi continued to implore Wang Xiao for leniency. His gaze appeared somewhat disoriented, and he seemed slightly bewildered.
“Realizing your mistake now won’t change anything,” Wang Xiao remarked.
Wang Xiao shook his head and wore a smile upon hearing this, refraining from further physical harm to Yun Yi. Instead, he addressed the stout man named Lin Hua, saying, “Fatty, this matter is ultimately in your hands. I won’t interfere with how you choose to handle it.”
After uttering those words, he placed Yun Yi in front of Lin Hua.
Contemplating the defenseless Yun Yi before him, Lin Hua fell silent. He harbored deep resentment toward Yun Yi for stealing away the girl he cared for, even though that girl had deceived him for an entire year.
“Lin Hua, please don’t harm him, spare him!” urged Jiajia at this moment.
Jiajia sprang to Yun Yi’s defense, extending her hand protectively and casting an anxious glance at Lin Hua.
Witnessing the girl he cherished shielding another man in such a manner, Lin Hua experienced a pang of heartache. After a brief pause, he spoke to Jiajia and Yun Yi, saying, “You two should leave!”
Upon hearing this, Jiajia’s lovely countenance instantly lit up with joy. She promptly assisted Yun Yi to his feet and departed from the square. The remaining associates also rose from the ground and followed suit.
“You let him go just like that?”
Wang Xiao had already anticipated the outcome, but he approached Lin Hua and inquired nonetheless.
“Let it be. My heart isn’t in it anymore. What’s the use of confronting him?” Lin Hua remarked.
As Jiajia and the others departed, a trace of sorrow welled up in Lin Hua’s eyes. In response to Wang Xiao’s query, he shook his head and replied.
“It’s great that you’re content!”
Wang Xiao refrained from saying much, recognizing that this matter belonged to someone else. In his shoes, he wouldn’t have let that man off so easily.
Once the audience realized the spectacle had ended, they too departed one by one.
“You mentioned that you’re a student in the First Year of the Traditional Chinese Medicine program, correct?”
Lin Hua swiftly composed himself and questioned Wang Xiao.
“Yes, I was on my way to register.”
Wang Xiao affirmed.
“Fantastic. I’m also a freshman in the Traditional Chinese Medicine program. I wonder if we’ll be assigned to the same dormitory. I’ll accompany you for the registration.”
A glimmer of joy crossed Lin Hua’s face as he extended the invitation to Wang Xiao.
“Alright,” Wang Xiao accepted readily. With Lin Hua already registered and well-acquainted with the process, his assistance would undoubtedly streamline the procedure.
......
Freshmen seemed to be everywhere at Forest City University. Crowds of people filled the campus, creating a veritable sea of students.
“I want to find a girlfriend before the military training!”
Lin Hua held the beer bottle tightly and said seriously.
Soong Ming and Feng Lee laughed when they heard him. Wang Xiao knew why Lin Hua said this.
“I have nothing to say. Let’s do it!”
Wang Xiao smiled faintly and changed the topic.
After that, the four of them finished a bottle of beer in one go and started to eat.
After drinking some wine, the relationship between the four of them became much closer. They talked about things from all over the world, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
When they finished eating and drinking, it was already night. After paying, the four of them also supported each other and walked into the dormitory.
Ding Ling...
Just as Wang Xiao and his three companions were on the verge of returning to the school entrance, his phone unexpectedly rang. Retrieving his phone, he noticed that it was Tong Waner calling, prompting a warm smile to cross his face.
It appeared that Tong Waner had also completed her formalities. She had located her dormitory and headed out for a meal with her roommate.
“Waner, what’s the matter? It’s only been half a day, and you’re already missing me?” Wang Xiao inquired, a smile evident in his voice as the call connected.
When Tong Waner answered, Wang Xiao’s end of the line was graced with his infectious smile.
“Hehe, that’s right, Wang Xiao. I’ve been thinking about you for quite a while,” Tong Waner responded playfully.
Unexpectedly, a cold and all-too-familiar chuckle emanated from the other end of the line, directed at Wang Xiao.
“Chen Jie?” Wang Xiao, who had been slightly inebriated, suddenly sobered up. Upon hearing the voice, his countenance darkened as he uttered in a frosty tone, “What have you done to Tong Waner? Why do you have her phone?”
“Do you wish to find out?” Chen Jie responded, his laughter carrying an ominous edge. “Hehe, you’ll discover everything when you arrive at the paper mill in the northern part of Eastern City. You should hurry, or your fiancée might lose her innocence.”
On the opposite end of the call, Chen Jie’s laughter took on an eerie and malevolent quality, his words dripping with icy cruelty.
Wang Xiao’s expression turned grim upon hearing this. He warned Chen Jie, his voice resolute, “Chen Jie, I’m cautioning you. If you lay a finger on Tong Waner, I will ensure the entire Chen Group vanishes from existence!”
“Oh? Is that so? I’m so scared.”
On the opposite end of the call, Chen Jie let out a sinister chuckle, seemingly unfazed by Wang Xiao’s words. Afterward, he terminated the call.
“You’re inviting trouble!” A hurried voice echoed through the phone. Wang Xiao’s gaze turned icy, his demeanor radiating a fierce determination.
“Boss, Second Brother, Fourth Brother, please return to the dormitory for now,” Wang Xiao instructed.
Addressing Soong Ming, Feng Lee, and Lin Hua, Wang Xiao turned and conveyed his message.
“En, alright...”
The trio was already inebriated, making it impossible for them to grasp Wang Xiao’s words. They responded in a befuddled manner and staggered through a nearby door.
Wang Xiao cast a brief glance at them before swiftly making his way to the manufacturing facility in the northern part of Eastern City.
Chen Jie, exercise caution. Your fate may not be the only one hanging in the balance!
