Chapter 92: Turbulence From the Shadows

Translator:?Sparrow Translations??Editor:?Sparrow Translations

It could be said that Zhuang Meina absolutely abhorred Ning Lingyu.

Being the young mistress of Zhuang Medical Group, she enjoys riches beyond one’s wildest dreams and wields significant authority. Yet during high school where one should enjoy the most exciting part of their youth, her very existence has been overshadowed by Ning Lingyu for close to three years! Putting aside her academics, even her figure, height and looks have been overshadowed by Ning Lingyu for all these years!

To make matters, worse, Zhuang Meina had been in love with Xie Junyan ever since middle school. She had planned to confess to him during high school. Yet, to her horror, she found out he was in love with Ning Lingyu! Furthermore, he even swore to win her heart!

For the spoiled Zhuang Meina who always thought the world revolved around her, this was absolutely unacceptable. This made her jealous and she resented Ning Lingyu from the depths of her heart.

Despite all that, she found consolation over Ning Lingyu’s poor family background and her useless brother. This at least allowed her to maintain her arrogance whenever she interacted with Ning Lingyu. Furthermore, Xie Junyan’s pursuit of Ning Lingyu’s heart eventually ended in failure and he even accepted her feelings instead. As a result, even though her jealousy and hatred towards Ning Lingyu remained unchanged she was able to keep it in check. This prevented her from exploding mentally.

However, with the emergence of Ling Yun’s newfound strength, the equilibrium in her heart was shattered overnight. Not only did he end up taking her money, he even used it to buy an iPhone 5 for Ning Lingyu! To add salt to her wound, he even brought it all the way to the entrance of grade 12 class 1 to give to Ning Lingyu. On top of that, he even subjected her to such humiliation!

Looking back, it was clear that Ling Yun’s threat about ‘it doesn’t matter whether it’s a guy or a girl. If anyone upsets my sister, I’ll make them pay the price!’ was practically aimed at her!

For the mighty Zhuang Meina, the humiliation she had received from Tang Meng and the warning Ling Yun gave her was no different from a declaration of war! In her eyes, that was unacceptable!

As for Xie Junyan, throughout these incidents, he kept a lukewarm attitude. Even though each time he was always on her side, from her intuition, Zhuang Meina could sense that his heart still belonged to Ning Lingyu! She had hoped that he would act like a real boyfriend. She wanted him to stand between her and Ling Yun. She wanted him to protect her and go against them for her sake. What she wished for the most is for him to give up on Ning Lingyu for good. She wanted him to look at her and treat her like a princess!

Hence this ‘princess’ was practically burning with rage and jealousy. With the rise of old feuds and new enemies, this narrow-minded and black-hearted lady ended up losing herself and entered a frenzy. Even if Xie Junyan was okay with it, she was not! Revenge was a necessity. She vowed that she would not stop until she saw Ning Lingyu crying miserably and the sight of Ling Yun and Tang Meng battered and bruised beyond recognition. Until that happened, the flames of hatred within her would not extinguish! It was comical, to say the least. After all, if she had slowed down and thought about things rationally, she would have realized all of these things happened because of her own actions!

Ning Lingyu has always conceded to Zhuang Meina and never actively sought to provoke her. All this time, she had suffered Zhuang Meina’s mockery and ridicule without resistance. Yet now that Zhuang Meina could no longer bully her, she decided to blame it on her as well? How unreasonable could she get?

Of course, another main reason for her jealousy was due to her sister taking all her glory since young! Not getting any attention when she was at home and being overshadowed when in school distorted her personality greatly.

Seeing her flirtatious and attractive body motions as she made such a bold request, Xie Junyan’s eyes lit up. His handsome face was then filled with a perverse look as he raised both hands. With his right hand holding Zhuang Meina’s jet black hair, his left hand gave her a tight slap!

“Very well, I promise you!”

“Ah…” Zhuang Meina exclaimed in pain, at the same time, a sense of euphoria could be seen in her eyes.

Unbeknownst to everyone, the handsome, elegant and gentlemanly Xie Junyan was actually a hardcore sadist!

……

At the same moment in time, in Qingshui City’s First People’s hospital, in the post-surgery intensive care ward.

The swelling in Gou Junfa’s left face still remained the same. Like a giant bun, it hung on his face. Reclining in his bed, he took a puff of his cigarette. Opposite him was, of course, Lu Chengtian, Pi Hezhi as well as one of their errand boys. In addition, there was now another person in the room.

Just like how everyone in Qingshui High knew about the four rich men, Xie Junyan, Tang Meng, Gou Junfa and Lu Chengtian they also knew about the four big bullies. With the exception of Xie Junyan, the other three held both titles. The last one being none other than Tie Xiaohu!

Having been born in an ordinary family, Tie Xiaohu’s father died when he was young. Thus, without a guiding figure, after his mother remarried, he started to stray from the proper path. Be it, smoking, drinking, fighting or spending all his time on the internet he did everything just short of committing a crime. He spent much of his time with the wrong company and before long, he came to be known as the infamous, ‘Big brother Hu’. Unlike the other three, Tie Xiaohu made a name for himself with his fists. Anyone that knows this notorious person knows that he fights as if he was possessed. Everyone knows that anyone who intends to fight him must be prepared to throw away their life.

Standing at a height of 1.92 meters, he was built like a colossal tower. With bulging back muscles and strong hips, he was strong and tough. His two arms were thick, long and muscular. Thus, his physique formed a perfect inverted triangle. His whole body was hard like steel and his two legs looked like two iron pole planted into the ground. With every slight movement, his muscles would flex. With his imposing figure, he looked extremely intimidating!

He had short hair, thick brows and a pair of big eyes. He had a rugged face with obvious lines running over his forehead. His hawk-like eyes darted here and there as he observed people with a menacing gaze. One look and anyone could tell that he was not just your average clumsy tall guy. A quick-witted and reckless guy like him basically screamed ‘dangerous’. After all, people like him would be willing to throw away their life if it meant they could pull you down with them!

Therefore, despite not being part of the four rich men, he was the only ordinary person in Qingshui High to be given the title of one of the four big bullies. And this fearsome individual is indeed in Gou Junfa’s ward at this very moment.

“Big brother Hu, we will get straight to the point. We invited you here today to ask for your help in teaching a lesson to a certain someone.” Lu Chengtian said in place of Gou Junfa. Gou Junfa’s swollen face was larger than a pumpkin, making it hard for him to speak.

“Who?” Tie Xiaohu asked indifferently. Having been absent from school for more than a month, he had no idea about what had happened during the past few days.

“Ling Yun. He’s the one who landed Big brother Fa in the hospital. Revenge must be taken even if we have to shed blood!” Lu Chengtian answered in a menacing tone.

Tie Xiaohu lifted his brows slightly before speaking.

“Ling Yun? Have you guys gone soft or senile? To let that spineless weakling climb all over your heads?”

Tie Xiaohu was a straightforward man who said whatever came to mind. Thus, he held no regard for the two rich men in front of him.

Gou Junfa’s face turned red as he supported his cheek and said, “Big brother Hu, I did not expect that Ling Yun to have the guts to raise his hand against me. I was caught off guard! If I had really duked it out with him fair and square…” In the end what Gou Junfa was most concerned with was his image.

Tie Xiaohu raised his hand to stop him before he could finish his explanation. Looking at him with his sharp eyes he asked, “Then all you have to do is to recover and challenge him fair and square again. What’s the point of asking me for help?”

Lu Chengtian immediately intervened, smiling awkwardly as he spoke.

“Big brother Hu there are two main reasons for this. One is the fact that before anyone noticed it, Ling Yun had become absurdly strong, even that Li Lei couldn’t lift a finger against him. The second reason would be that if we were to bring too many people to teach him a lesson, it’ll surely attract the school’s attention. Then things might get too messy.”

“Even Li Lei was helpless against him? Interesting.” Tie Xiaohu exclaimed as his eyes lit up with excitement.

“How much are you guys giving?” Tie Xiaohu asked.

“Twenty thousand dollars! All you have to do is beat him till he no longer has the strength to resist. Once done, you can leave the rest to us!” Gou Junfa exclaimed, his tone carrying his rage.

“Deal! However, make sure not to kill him! If you guys screw it up I’ll make you all regret it!” Tie Xiaohu warned his voice flat yet threatening.

“Don’t you worry Big brother Hu, we still want to play around with that guy. It would be a shame to kill him! Pi Hezhi…” Gou Junfa exclaimed before glancing at Pi Hezhi, motioning him with his eyes.

Pi Hezhi immediately passed a bundle of hundred dollar notes to Tie Xiaohu.

“I’ll pass you the remaining half once the deed is done. How does that sound to you?” Gou Junfa asked.

This is how things work. Without replying, Tie Xiaohu told Gou Junfa that he would give him a call once he was done and left the room.

“Ha! Tie Xiaohu is that infamous Big brother Kun’s right-hand man. If Tie Xiaohu manages to suppress Ling Yun that would be good but if he gets beaten, Kun will not keep quiet about it. Either way, that Ling Yun is finished!” Lu Chengtian exclaimed gleefully.

“I see… Big brother Lu is indeed the best, to be able to think of such a brilliant plan. Now, all we have to do is prepare to enjoy the show!” Pi Hezhi commented.

“It’s not just that, I have already received information that Ling Yun’s family lives in the Gaoxin area along Linjiang road. To be specific, the low-income district. And that area is going to be demolished soon. So here’s a question for you, which contractor do you think that land is being handled by?” Gou Junfa asked with a sinister smile.

“Don’t tell me it’s your dad’s real estate?” Lu Chengtian blurted out in disbelief.

“This must be fate! Haha! That’s right it’s my dad’s real estate! And I can promise you guys that for this demolition, Ling Yun’s family will not receive a single cent in return. And I’ll make sure to tear down their house first, forcibly!” Gou Junfa exclaimed proudly with wild laughter. At the same time, the laughter caused his cheek muscles to contract violently, making him stop and grit his teeth in pain.

“So, big brother Fa how are you going to do that?” Pi Hezhi asked curiously.

“Simple, all I’ve got to do is to speak to the person in charge of distributing the remunerations. After that, he’ll then have a word with the demolition board and district committee and everything will be settled. After all, it’s not the first time that they are carrying out forced demolition. How hard can it be to handle a family of three? I can guarantee that by that time, they will be bawling with tears in their eyes as they helplessly watch their home get torn apart before their very eyes!” Gou Junfa answered in a cold merciless tone.

“But brother Fa, would the guy in charge of the remunerations listen to you?” the errand boy asked.

“You buffoon! He is my blood-related uncle, what do you think?” Gou Junfa answered as he glared at the boy, his tone filled with irritation.

“Then what about Ning Lingyu?” Lu Chengtian asked, unable to get her off his mind.

“With Ling Yun having the life beat out of him and their house gone, what can a single girl like her do? By that time, we’ll be able to have all the fun we want with her! Campus belle? What a joke!”

“Hahahahaha…” A chorus of wild laughter could be heard echoing from the intensive care ward.

……

At that same moment, outside Jiangnan Provincial Hospital’s special intensive care ward. A woman in her late forties stood poised and stout. She was well dressed and one could easily guess that she was from a rich family. Her face was fierce like a tiger as she growled at two guys who seemed to be bodyguards.

“I swear, even if you’ve to scour the heavens, I want you to find the bastard who did this to my son! How dare he land my precious Sun Xing in such a state! An eye for an eye! I’ll make him bleed and spend the rest of his life behind bars!”

“And that despicable Zhuang Group! How dare that vixen Zhuang Meifeng trick my son! I’ll make her kneel before him and beg for forgiveness!”

As for her precious Sun Xing, he was lying on the bed in the luxurious intensive care ward. His whole face was swollen like a pig’s head, his whole body shaking from the intense pain.
