Chapter 98: Conflict
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Wu Jin, the son of Jiang City’s No. 1 Senior High School’s school director, his father was also the high school’s third years’ head. His time in school was smooth sailing, he was not bad looking, and together with his background that was not small, he succeeded every time in chasing girls.
Wu Jun was 23 years old this year. Normally, he would have started working long ago, but relying on his father’s connections, he actually became a transfer student and continued staying in school. After all, girls that entered society were not as gullible as high school girls. What’s more, those girls here that he could get his hands on were all ripe, fresh fruits that had not been picked yet!
Lin Xiaoxue was beautiful, she had a lively personality, and her grades were even one of the best. To a person that was idling his time away, which resulted in him being a bit mentally abnormal, that type of beauty model student was really a plaything that must be gotten!
He had asked around before, Lin Xiaoxue’s family was poor. Her father worked at a construction site, her mother did housekeeping, while her brother was only playing games every day.
That kind of girl, as long as he was willing to spend money and promise a teacher’s position that allowed her to teach in school when she returned in the future, he believed that that could easily move her heart.
Just when Wu Jun was full of joy and planning to make his move, Lin Jie’s thick and heavy shoulder blocked him, saying calmly, “Scram!”
Wu Jun took a look at the parents behind Lin Jie and his betrayed a shred of disdain. ‘They really are poor people!’ However, he still politely greeted them, “Uncle, Aunty, nice to meet you, my name is Wu Jun.”
Lin Jiawu frowned slightly in the Lin family’s way and pulled Lin Xiaoxue over, nodding his head as he said, “Hello.”
“Hehe, I have stayed back today to study with student Xiaoxue, so we were a bit delayed and I wanted to send her home,” Wu Jun made a model student look and smiled as he said, “My father, who is the head of the grade, was worried about her since she is the backbone of the class.”
“Head of the grade?” Lin Jiawu was slightly shocked, and his face became more gentle. “There’s no need anymore, we will come to fetch her home from now on. Let’s go home.”
Just as Lin Jie was about to turn around, Wu Jun clicked his tongue and said as he admired, “This body, is really…”
His voice was very soft so only Lin Jie could hear him.
“If you are jealous, I can help you beat a pair of rotten meat,” said Lin Ji calmly as he turned and left.
Wu Jun was defeated by what Lin Jie said, but he laughed coldly, in his heart, he even wanted Lin Jie to make a move.
As long as Lin Jie dared to hit someone in school, he could get the security guard to subdue him and take him in front of his father. Then, he would make a shining appearance, whether it was coercing her or bribing her, he wasn’t afraid that Xiaoxue would not give in.
The family left the school and headed towards the reserved seats in the hotel.
“Jie, you need to change your temper,” Lin Jiawu thought and said solemnly, “Since that person’s father is the head of the grade, just try not to provoke him, or else it would be bad for your sister.”
If it was before he had been reborn, Lin Jie might have grumbled loudly, ‘So what if he’s the head of a grade?’ But now, the more wit, the less courage. Thus, he only nodded his head slightly.
Elders teaching such a principle was not asking one to be a coward but was telling one to be tactful and learn how to adapt oneself to the changing circumstances.
“That person was so annoying.” Xiaoxue was pouting and growled, “Every time after school, he always pesters me. He even drives his car to follow me! The way my classmates look at me has become very weird!”
Lin Jie rubbed her hair. “From now on, I’ll fetch you from school.”
“Really?” Xiaoxue’s eyes lit up.
“Really,” agreed Lin Jie.
“Hee-hee, brother, is the best!” said Xiaoxue cheekily, blinking her huge cute eyes, “Oh right, why did you come to fetch me today?”
Their mother said smilingly, “Your brother has been accepted into university, we have received the notice of acceptance. Tonight’s treat is on your father, we’ll have a blowout.”
Talking about this matter, everyone’s mood gradually became better.
Behind the Bei River Hotel was the most famous Sky River, and it’s expenditures were not little.
However, the hotel owner had an excellent understanding of marketing. The first floor was specially made into the fast food area, while the second floor was the normal ordering area. From the third floor onwards, it was jokingly called the “Area for the rich,” which also meant a place that was difficult for normal people to go.
Bei River Hotel’s seventh floor could even look down on the whole Sky River, and it only accepted reservations. One could say that there included the whole River Town’s bottom and top classes of people. The hotel was naturally flourishing with customers, flooding in like clouds.
The waitress wearing a red cheongsam said respectfully, “Welcome sir.” There was no difference in the looks of her eyes, which was also one of the reasons why the shop was this popular, they gave enough respect to everyone.
Lin Jiawu felt a little unnatural being there, but he still smiled and said, “My surname is Lin, I made… a reservation.”
The waitress quickly checked and smiled. “Your table is on the second floor, please allow me to guide you up.”
The four of them followed the waitress up to the second floor. Lin Jiawu’s complexion improved quite a lot, he had thought that commoners could not enjoy such treatment.
On the second floor, they could view the night market, it was quite good.
Lin Jiawu sat down and said smilingly, “This place is not bad, in the future when Xiaoxue is accepted into university, we will come here again.”
Lin Jie smiled as he replied, “When Xiaoxue gets accepted into university, I’ll bring all of us to the seventh floor.”
“Ambitious.” Lin Jiawu shook his head and took a deep breath.
His mother immediately realized that this was the prelude to the start of his preaching, so she hurriedly took the menu. “Hurry and order, your son has been accepted into university! Can’t you just preach less? Son, I believe in you, I’m waiting for you to bring us up to the seventh floor.”
Lin Jiawu was stopped right before he started. Thus, he didn’t continue preaching but took the menu and flipped it to the middle. He started to order some meat dishes.
“Brother, are you not going to fetch me anymore after you go to university?” asked Xiaoxue worriedly.
Lin Jie remembered that in his previous life some people had mentioned that university roommates would become lifelong friends, but Lin Jie was an exception.
His three roommates’ family conditions were quite good, normally they would be on their high horses and completely treat Lin Jie as a coolie. After two years, Lin Jie completed the procedures and left the dormitory.
In this life, Lin Jie still did not want to see those few faces.
Lin Jie thought about it and said, “I don’t plan to stay at the dormitory.”
“How can you not live at the dormitory?” Lin Jiawu said, “University is the most important place to build interpersonal relationships. The more friends you have, the smoother the road, in university…”
“Inside university, they will cut electricity on time,” Lin Jie thought of a better reason, “I don’t want to stay at the Internet cafe every day.”
Lin Jiawu thought for a while and did not object.
Although he liked to preach, he was still supportive of his son’s “career.”
“Yay! Brother is coming to fetch me every day. That’s great!” Xiaoxue chuckled as she said, “When I get accepted into university, we’ll go to the seventh floor.”
“Tsk tsk tsk, seventh floor? I don’t think he has that capability.” A sarcastic voice suddenly sounded from their side.
A few youngsters with long hair wearing white shirts laughed out loud as they said, “Look how shabby they are dressed and they still want to go to the seventh floor like this. I think I’ll die from laughter.”
At the corner, Wu Jun faintly tasted a mouthful of the red wine in the wineglass, smiling slightly. Beside him sat another figure that was flattering him—it was Zhang Shu!
“Ignore them.” Lin Jiawu frowned. ‘The less trouble, the better.’ He took the menu and started ordering dishes.
‘They actually did not bite the bait?’ Wu Jun threw a look, and one of them hurriedly gestured an OK sign.
The way he was dressed up was extremely similar to Andy Chan in the movie Young and Dangerous, white shirt, long hair and the chest that was not muscular was exposed from the few buttons that were especially left open. He lifted the menu in Lin Jiawu’s hand with one hand and said with scorn, “What’s the hurry in ordering? Why not let us invite all of you to the third floor?”
“Youngster, do things in moderation.” Lin Jiawu’s face darkened, the other diners on the second floor all looked at them one after the other.
The long-haired thug exclaimed amazedly, “Yo, your rhetoric speech is all bark but no bite, brother me is just not going to stop at moderation, so what can you do about it?”
Lin Jie’s mother frowned, stood up and said, “How unlucky, let’s go, we’re not eating here anymore.”
“You b*tch, who the f*ck are you calling unlucky…”
Bang!
It was as if time stopped at this moment! The fresh blood and teeth dropped onto the ground heavily from the long-haired youth’s mouth as he wailed!
Lin Jiawu smashed his fist on the table with fury, his straight face all year round was filled with anger. He shouted, “I give you an inch, you took a mile, haven’t your parents taught you to conduct yourself by…”
Swoosh!
From a distance, the thugs’ companion threw a beer bottle towards Lin Jiawu’s head!
“Ah!” Xiaoxue screamed in surprise. Just as she was about to rush up there, suddenly a hand caught that beer bottle steadily, not moving an inch!
This situation was exactly the same as during the Qifeng Mountain!
Lin Jie’s face became colder and colder. If the beer bottle had really smashed his father’s head, wouldn’t he be severely injured? This group of bast*rds really trampled others’ lives just like that?
“Whoa, another person?” The six thugs held the beer bottle, and with a clash, the bottles were smashed into half, the remaining half held in their hands as those were the most suitable weapons!
That group of people were not simple thugs, at the very least they were already veterans with 10 years of experience. Their jeans were the best armor during fights, and even their belts were specially made into the shape of a hammer made of wrought iron. Not only their concealment properties were good, but it would also be very painful when they hit people.
“Brother Jun, doing this… That isn’t very good right?” said Zhang Shu while quivering.
“No worries, the owner of this place is one of my uncles, as long as we don’t kill people, it’s all fine. When she and her family are lying on the hospital bed, I’ll just randomly give some medical fee, won’t she still do as I want?” Wu Jun tasted his red wine, and threw a look to Zhang Shu, revealing an obscene smile. “Don’t worry, I’ll also let you have a taste.”
“Jie, bring your mother and Xiaoxue, and leave first,” shouted Lin Jiawu. Then, he lifted a beer bottle with one hand and smashed it, holding it in his hand.
A long time had passed, but still no security guards came, who would believe that someone did not pull the strings behind the scenes?
“Don’t worry, we’ll treat your useless father with hospitality, hahaha.” The few thugs laughed, they readied their fist and smashed towards Lin Jiawu.
Don’t just see how frivolous they were with their talking, they were ruthless when fighting, especially aiming at one’s stomach and face. Their legs even kicked vigorously towards one’s belly, crotch and legs!
“Kacha—”
The sound of bones breaking could be heard and immediately after was a horrible heart-wrenching shriek.
With a stomp by Lin Jie’s right leg, a thug that was planning to attack the crotch area was nearly crushed into pieces and clutched his leg as he lied on the ground.
Lin Jie’s workout overdrafted his physical strength every day, so how could these thugs be compared with him?
“You really are too noisy.” Lin Jie kicked that person’s head, and with a bang, that person fainted.
“F*ck, kick his ass!” The few thugs said simultaneously. Lin Jie clenched his fists tightly, the veins on his muscles protruded. His fists were aimed at a thug’s head, and he swung it towards the thug!
“Brother, be careful!”
“Jie!”
The thug that was defeated and on the ground first actually held a beer bottle and went behind Lin Jie, the sharp edge of the blade was aimed at the back of Lin Jie’s head!
Just at this moment, a loud roar of a powerful voice which was like the crash of thunder could be heard!
“Ah!” With time, Lin Jiawu’s iron fist that was polished went from up to down and with a loud crash, he actually smashed the top of the skull of the thug.
