I'm Not Going to Be Bullied By a Girl

Chapter 31 – Five Tiger Punishment Squad

Later, in a back alley behind QingZi Academy, I saw pockmark face who was wearing the brown school uniform of QingZi Academy, being messed up by three punks.

These three were real hoodlums, they didn’t hold back at all. Pockmark face was kicked into a pile of garbage, with one eye so swollen that he couldn’t even open it.

At that time, I was holding five pounds of potatoes and two leeks. I really didn’t want to put down the stuff in my hands and help that guy.

But this kid’s shouting was too miserable. At first, it was like a pig getting killed. Later, his voice gradually became quieter and quieter.

I felt that if this continued, he was going to die. I reluctantly stood in front of the three hooligans and yelled at them.

“Stop fighting! Are you guys trying to kill someone just because there are laws protecting minors!?”

The three people were startled, the street was not well lit and we couldn’t see each other clearly. Two of them came towards me while rolling up their sleeves.

I smacked my lips, thinking that I had to place the potatoes and leeks onto the ground. This ground is really damn dirty, it feels disgusting even when separated by a plastic bag.

In the end, the one that looked like the head of the three hooligans suddenly stopped his two underlings.

“Stop, we have to pay Boss Ye some respect.”

Speaking to me, he lowered his head and dragged the other two away.

When the hell did I become Boss Ye? Just a while ago, the seniors who just graduated from third grade still called me Xiao Ye Zi! Why didn’t I know I got promoted? There was neither a flash of light nor a system prompt? And where is my younger brother?

When the three hooligans were already long gone, I wanted to go and see whether pockmark face died or not. Before I got there, he climbed up by himself and thanked me while hunched over and shivering:

“Boss, boss Ye...”

“Don’t call me Boss Ye. I say, you’re pretty good at playing dead?”

Pockmark face smiled embarrassingly, his face was swollen like a pig’s head, his laughter was uglier than his crying.

“If I didn’t play dead, I really would’ve been killed by them... If you don’t like being called boss. I will call you Big Brother Ye.”

Pockmark face coughed twice and spat out half of his incisors. He was indeed beaten quite terribly.

“Big Brother Ye, you really are a generous man. I was blind to have been causing trouble outside of your school!”

It seems he already realized who I was.

After two days, the wound on pockmark face was a little better. He insisted on treating me to a meal to thank me for saving his life.

Coincidentally, my dad wasn’t at home that day. Since I didn’t want to eat instant noodles at home alone, I agreed.

Pockmark face and his classmates totaled five people, the five that were sorted out by me last time. They came with two drivers and two cars and wanted to treat me in HaoTing hotel downtown.

I felt it was too far, and felt that the consumption of more than 800 yuan in HaoTing was straight fraud. I made a decision and changed the location to an ordinary grilled skewer shop.

Pockmark face and his classmates complained saying that it was too low-class, but I blinked and asked, “Are you planning on making me happy or making you happy?”, nobody dared to talk any more.

Driving two BMWs to eat grilled skewers on the street. The owner of the shop and the assistant who was dressed up as an Ughyur looked at us and felt very bewildered.

Yes, I’ve said before that I don’t really know anything about cars. The reason why I recognize BMW is because the logo is quite conspicuous, with the three words “BMW”, I always read it as “Bi Ma Wen”, which is a good mnemonic that helps me remember.

But no matter how you look a it, a BMW wasn’t as high class as the car that Ai Mi was sitting on.

To say the difference, it would be like the difference between a firecracker and the rocket that went to the moon.

I stuffed roasted garlic into my mouth while listening to pockmark face talk about how thankful he was to me, and how much he admired me.

It turns out that this pockmark face’s surname was Xing, and his name turned out to be Xing Xing. Because he had too many pockmarks, he also had a nickname called baby’s breath. (TN: baby’s breath in Chinese literally translates to starry sky)

I thought that the name didn’t fit, why weren’t you called Heng Xing? This nickname makes more sense.

According to Xing Xing, all five of their parents did business. After they sent them to the live in QingZi Academy, they basically had no time to take care of them. The QingZi Academy reputation attracted a lot of different types of people, and the five of them were often extorted by hooligans outside.

After a while, Xing Xing decided to set up a criminal group himself.

Xing Xing became the boss because of his seniority. It happened that the second in command was also surnamed Xing, so they gave their small group a name, called the “Five Tiger Punishment Squad”

As soon as I heard the name, I almost spat out the roasted kidneys. I can’t believe you guys thought up of such a stupid name! You claim to be the “five tigers” with that level of fighting power? Also, the punishment squad was the department that handled cases in ancient times. You imitated others to become hooligans to flout the law, yet you picked a group name that was specialized in handling cases, that’s inauspicious!

However, since they became the five tiger punishment squad and came out on the streets, the number of people who bullied them has substantially decreased. In order to become more like a hooligan, they also tried to imitate hooligans and rob and bully people at the entrance of schools, and accidentally fell into my hands.

As for the incident when Xing Xing was beaten in the back alleys a few days ago, Xing Xing himself didn’t even know the reason why. Apparently, he just looked at him wrong.

Speaking of this, everyone’s evil tendencies is getting worser and worser. In some domestic comics that are being sold, after flipping it open, the protagonist had a temper where he would kill your whole family if you glared at him.

Xing Xing said that they all learned a lesson after these events and decided not to imitate others and mug people anymore.

It should be like this anyways, you guys don’t even have the constitution to block people and rob them. There’s a lot of powerful people in XiCheng District, if you guys met another violent one, be careful not to offer up your life.

However, Xing Xing said that in the future they would still go on the streets as a group, in order to avoid any brothers being alone and bullied. They’ll continue to call themselves the “Five Tigers Punishment Squad” in order to increase prestige.

“Big brother Ye, although our combat power is somewhat poor, we are very loyal!”

Xing Xing patted his chest to assure me.

“Although I won’t heedlessly fight anymore in the future, if you ever get into any trouble and call for us, we’ll immediately rush out!”

The other four tigers also echoed: “Tha’s right! The benefactor of the boss is our benefactor! If brother Ye ever needs anything, you must find us!”

I thought to myself: If I ever needed five useless people to help me in a fight, then at that time I don’t need to get mixed up in this world anymore.

Although I’m not really getting mixed up in this world right now, but in any case the other hooligans still call me Boss Ye.

I can’t afford to lose face by bringing you five with me to a fight.

Since I went out to eat with them, I haven’t seen them for a while.

Today, I saw them outside the school gate again, I don’t know if they needed anything.

“Hey, what the hell are you gusy doing here? Didn’t I tell you guys not to come to 28th Middle to mug people anymore?”

I scared them with a stiff face.

“Ah, please Big Brother Ye, we haven’t done that kind of stuff for a long time.”

Xing Xing’s face was filled with an expression of being wrongfully accused.

The other four tigers also testified for Xing Xing:

“Big Brother Ye, we just happened to pass by and wanted to find out how Big Brother Ye was doing, but ended up meeting you directly!”

“Yeah, yeah, we also met Eunuch Cao here at noon! We didn’t even rob that fat sheep!” (ED: fat sheep means easy target)

They should be telling the truth, Eunuch Cao did indeed walk by this road.

“Well, I have been very good lately, you guys should leave if you have nothing to do.”

I wasn’t telling the truth. Lately I’ve been very annoyed and it might have shown on my face.

Xing Xing stepped forward, lowered his voice and asked me: “Big Brother Ye, you don’t really seem very happy. You weren’t like this last time.”

That’s because at that time, I hadn’t met the deceptive Ren XiaoQin yet.

“Big Brother Ye, if you have any worries, you must tell us! Otherwise, you’re not treating us as brothers!”

“Yes! Although Big Brother Ye doesn’t admit it, but us five tigers are the younger brothers of Big Brother Ye! If the big brother is troubled, how can the younger brothers stand by?”

Xing Xing waved his hand behind him and made a “you guys quite down” action, then moved closer to ask me:

“Big Brother Ye, we saw Eunuch Cao at noon. I heard from him that you haven’t been at ease recently because of a woman?”

I frowned and thought about how Cao JingShen seemed to be meddling everywhere. Why the hell did you mouth off with the fools of the five tiger punishment squad? Looking at Cao JingShen’s wretched and vulgar behaviors, I can’t help but feel that he distorted the truth when speaking of the situtaion!

Xing Xing spoke with the voice of a loyal younger brother:

“Big Brother Ye, I heard that there seems to be a chick called Ren Xiaoqin that you can’t handle?”

I didn’t comment. I really can’t handle Ren XiaoQin, from various aspects.

Seeing that I didn’t answer, Xing Xing thought that he had hit the nail on the head.

“I knew it! If Big brother Ye is bothered, with how strong you are, it definitely has nothing to do with fighting! If you fancied Ren Xiaoqin, that’s a blessing that she has cultivated for eight generations! She dares not be happy!? How shameless! I’m even angry for you!”

“You don’t have to worry about this, it’s different from what you think.”

I gave him a heads up. I didn’t want these five to get involved with Ren Xiaoqin.

“How can I leave it alone!” Xing Xing looked even more worried than I was. “Big Brother Ye, the reason you can’t handle this girl is because you treat her too well!”

“What do you mean?”

I want to hear what could come out of this dog’s mouth.

“You can’t treat women too well!”

Xing Xing had a very experienced look, and the other four tigers nodded in the back.

“Yeah yeah, Big Brother Ye is too soft on girls, you can’t pick up girls this way!”

“Women are all very lowly. The better you treat them, the higher they’ll feel, in the end they’ll become as arrogant as the sky!”

“That’s right! As long as Big Brother Ye takes out one-tenth of his fighting strength, that one surnamed Ren would already have let you done whatever you want to her!”

That’s not necessary, I think that as long as I wanted to, I could’ve already did whatever I wanted to Xiao Qin.

No, I didn’t have these kind of expectations. I don’t want to touch a beautiful snake that’s covered in venom.

If I was bitten by her, my life is forfeit.

Xing Xing waved again to silence the brothers, and then told me mysteriously:

“Big Brother Ye, I admire you as a hero, some things are really not suitable for heroes to do... Do you want our brothers to help you?”

“How can you help me?”

“Oh, it’s not difficult. We’ll block the Ren girl on her way home and scare her a little. It should be fine to let her obey you?”

Xing Xing spoke with an tone like they were hired thugs, and I was a high ranking official from within the palace.

I think that they are courting death.
