I vaguely rember the class leader asking the shop owner, who she was well acquainted with, to help get on a taxi. Then she called my ho and notified my father to co downstairs to pick up. It was good that she was able to rember my ho phone number from the class directory.
During the course of events, it seems the shop owner made a joke and it made Shu Sha blush. My dad also ridiculed a bit since I was the one who ca ho drunk for the first ti ever, but I don’t really rember what he said.
I was still thinking about getting revenge for brother Gang.
Although the five tiger punishnt squad does not have high battle power, they do know a lot of people. I was planning on asking them to help scout so information.
When I was looking for Xing Xing’s contact information, I saw the Ax black card in my wallet along with commissioner Wang’s phone number.
I suddenly had a bright idea and gave a call to commissioner Wang.
After I confird that I could still receive their service, I asked him what kinds of requests can custors make.
“Mister Ye, we can help you with anything as long as it’s not illegal and you can pay for the costs.”
Thus I told commissioner Wang to go check out brother Gang’s injuries. I also told him to give brother Gang the best dical treatnts possible, but I said don’t ntion my na, just ntion it’s insurance for previous 28 Middle students.
“Please leave it to . We’ll use a genuine employee from the insurance company to prevent suspicions.” I could feel commissioner Wang’s confidence and smiling expression even through the phone, “As for the results of his treatnt, I will give you a report after I get a general idea.”
Even though we can’t see each other, I still lowered my head by habit and put down the phone.
I felt extrely frustrated after being dependent on the card that Ai Mi lent . I wanted to use my own abilities to help brother Gang.
In addition to the money I used to buy back the PS photos, I have used this ‘activity funds card’ for a lot of matters that have nothing to do with Ai Mi.
Although I wanted to pay the money back with my own abilities, where can a 14 year old with no abilities earn this much money?
Sigh, it’s pointless to worry. First, let’s take care of brother Gang’s situation, there might be a fierce battle ahead of us!
I called Xing Xing’s cellphone. When I told him I had sothing for him to do, his excited voice almost burst my eardrums.
“This ti... This ti, are your bringing us to hack soone up!”
I let him calm down first before I told him this task was extrely important. He was only allowed to make discreet inquires, and if he accidentally alerted the enemy, he should give a heads up.
Xing Xing agreed after he heard my seriousness. He dispatched all his connections to help find information on Tie Xian.
In the next two days, I couldn’t sit comfortably regardless if I was at school or at ho. I didn’t even feel like dealing with the listening device that Xiao Qin hid in my ho. When I was feeling bad, I would place the thermos that had the listening device hidden inside next to the TV. Then, I would switch to a channel that has a lot of comrcials and turn the volu to max. It would give Xiao Qin a good taste of static noise.
I’m not sure if it was the static that ssed up her cycle, but Xiao Qin soon took three days off for her dysnorrhea. I was still worried about brother Gang and I felt like she deserved it, thus I, who was her boyfriend by na, neither called her nor visited.
I was waiting for soone to call .
After two days and two nights, I was finally able to obtain so information from Xing Xing.
I’m not sure if I should be happy or disappointed, but Xing Xing told : Tie Xian was not able to evade the police. He was caught and sent back to DongShan city, and now he’s in jail.
I was disappointed and frustrated that I could not avenge brother Gang with my own hands. I was also frustrated by the feeling of defeat after the police, who the class leader always believes in, captured Tie Xian.
In addition, I also heard the whole story of brother Gang’s tendons being cut. Every ti I heard a new sentence, I would want to rush into the police station, grab Tie Xian out from behind the tal bars, and break his backbone.
As I expected, brother Gang was the sa even after he entered high school. He always brought his left and right-hand n to go around and act chivalrous. A week ago, brother Gang found a female classmate from a neighboring class being harassed by a couple of hoodlums. Although he was alone at the ti, he fought with the three hoodlums without the slightest bit of hesitation. He was able to knock down two of them, and the last one ran away.
It was the one who ran away that caused trouble.
Tie Xian was the regional boss, and he thought brother Gang was an annoyance long ago. Thus, he brought at least ten or more n to deal with him. They blocked brother Gang on his way ho and he was heavily outnumbered. Finally, he was held down on the ground where they cut the tendons on his right hand.
Apparently, Tie Xian stood by and watched without lifting a finger. He even ordered the youngest mber to go and cut his tendons, which ant: “It was to train his guts.”
Xing Xing also seed to feel bad after guessing of my relationship with brother Gang.
“Brother Ye, you’re our boss, that ans brother Gang is the boss of our boss... Sigh, what a pity! It wouldn’t be bad if it was to save his girlfriend, but I heard he didn’t even speak much with the girl he saved. Why bother?”
Although I also had the sa thoughts, I did not want anyone else to badmouth brother Gang.
“Xing Xing, you have the guts to criticize the boss of your boss? Do you want to die? How can you comprehend brother Gang?”
To be honest, I can’t even comprehend him. If I said it in a good way, brother Gang would be a hero who stands up for what is right while disregarding his own body. If I said it in a bad way, he would be an idiot.
Damn, why I am losing sleep for an idiot? Why do I wish I was also fighting next to this idiot, even if I would have gotten my tendons cut?
Then, the phone rang without warning. I originally thought it was commissioner Wang reporting on brother Gang’s injuries. I never thought it was brother Gang who personally called , and it made panic a bit.
“Xiao Ye Zi, I’m leaving the underworld. (Jianghu)”
There was no resentnt or unwillingness in his tone of voice. At most, there was so fond reminiscence of past mories.
“Brother Gang, you...” I could not organize my thoughts, and I didn’t know what to say in response.
Brother Gang realized sothing was amiss with my tone and he started to comfort instead.
“Xiao Ye Zi, I heard you sent Li Lao’Er and Zhao GuangTou to the hospital. I also heard you sent people to investigate Tie Xian because you wanted to help get revenge?”
I complained about how Xing Xing was not able to handle it in secret while denying his claim: “No! I only...”
“Don’t worry, I know everything.” Brother Gang’s deep voice had a special ability to calm soone’s heart, “Tie Xian was already caught. He committed so serious cris, so of course, the police will take care of him, you don’t have to do anything.”
Brother Gang used to call the police as the po-po, is he really planning on leaving? Did he receive a big psychological shock after his tendons were cut?
Brother Gang even thoughtlessly pretended to be happy, “Hahaha, Xiao Ye Zi, you won’t expect this! The accidental injury insurance we got from 28 Middle is still effective! So workers ca in and moved to a top-class patient room. The chief doctor even wrote up a treatnt plan, and I took a lot of imported dicine and supplents! Aren’t they crazy? I already threw the insurance policy receipt a long ti ago!”
That should have been because of commissioner Wang, right? As expected, commissioner Wang is different, he can actually keep it confidential unlike Xing Xing.
But, would it help? Tendons need to be imdiately reconnected to be saved. If you pass the optimal ti for surgery, the results won’t be good regardless of dical skill or how much money you spend.
“Haha, Xiao Ye Zi, lem tell you a secret, don’t tell anyone else!” Brother Gang’s tone still showed that he was in a good mood which made feel a bit strange.
“Actually, my tendons were never cut!”
“What?” I was shocked.
“It’s actually a bit embarrassing. Tie Xian surrounded with his n, held down, and told a brat to co and cut my tendons. You should know I’m pretty thick-skinned and conniving. It was that brat’s first ti using a knife and he looked more scared than . As a result, I started twitching and screaming as soon as the tip of the blade went in, so that trash was afraid of going any deeper...”
I still felt like brother Gang was intentionally trying to comfort .
“If your tendons weren’t cut, why did Tie Xian tell everyone it was? Also, why are you leaving the underworld?”
I could almost see brother Gang scratching his head on the other end of the phone, “Well, it felt like it was cut. Anyway, the doctor told after it was connected that it would be restored to 80% of its original state, and I won’t be crippled.”
I was slowly subrged by more sadness, “Brother Gang, you lied. It was clearly cut, but it was reconnected. Why did you tell it was never cut? Also, I heard it was because you helped a complete stranger, was it worth it? She wasn’t even your girlfriend!”
I felt a bit of regret after asking that question. Brother Gang was already hurt, why did I have to throw salt in his wounds? I couldn’t help it and punched myself on the leg.
But, not only was brother Gang not angry, he beca coy:
“Um, Xiao Ye Zi, she indeed was not my girlfriend at the ti, I didn’t even know her na. But.... Now...”
Eh? What? What do you an? Don’t leave out important words! Are you saying the girl was touched because you sacrificed your hand for a stranger, so she beca your girlfriend?
I stood there holding the phone for quite a while. I was not sure if I should say congratulations or hope you give birth to a son soon.
“That’s why, if we et in the future, you should call her sis.” After his reveal, he beca shaless again, “As for why I’m leaving, it actually has nothing to do with my cut tendons. I’m a rough person, so even if I regained 120% of the original state in my fingers, I still wouldn’t be able to play the piano. But if its 80%, I can still punch just as hard as I did before! As for why I have to leave, it’s because your sis doesn’t want to see fight anymore...”
So, you were pressured by a girl? Why do you sound helpless but also in bliss! Is it fine if no one calls you boss after you get a girlfriend?
I could not help but feel like I wasted my efforts.
Next, we chatted about a whole array of subjects. For the first ti ever, we even talked about life and ideals, but it was probably force fed to him by his girlfriend. I feel deep regret about a manly man degenerating into a henpecked male.
Finally, brother Gang told he has a date with his girlfriend on the weekend, so he can’t chat for too long. He also urged to fight less, he thought he was an idiot for fighting a lot back then.
So, you know you’re an idiot! You left a lot of fighting equipnt like a fool! You even told to inherit an embarrassing position called ’28 Middle Campus Boss’! Now that you’ve reached enlightennt and got a girlfriend, can you even face the brothers that have been worried for you all this ti?
Damn it, you better be happy! After turning into a henpecked male, you don’t have the rights to continue your legacy. You might as well resign quietly and enjoy the shaless two person world with sis!
I stood still for a while after hanging up. I never thought brother Gang would be able to free himself from the carnage of the underworld and feel gratified.
Does the class leader feel the sa way, hoping I could steer myself back onto the right path?
Suddenly, I realized that brother Gang saving sis from hoodlums was similar to protecting the class leader a few days ago. And sis wants brother Gang to leave the underworld, while the class leader urged to apply for the police academy.
But I’m probably overthinking it. The class leader only wants to fulfill her duties as a leader. She does not want anyone to drop from her own group, and she has no reason to like .
Even if she does like , I can’t be with her.
I think she would be the sa as brother Gang’s girlfriend. She would persist until she turns her boyfriend into a henpecked male.
I can never accept that as a man no matter what.
