Chapter 9: Preemptive Strike
I no longer have any money on me, hitchhiking back to school almost penniless, and the money given to me by Zhang Xiong completely spent, this is probably going to be a very difficult month.
Even harder is Li Xin, because I still have no way to rescue her, and even now I am being watched by Qin Lan, the first time I saw her, I had to go to the hospital.
I beat her up and plucked her hair, she 80% will kill me, there's no way she doesn't know that was me
I went back to the dorm and thought about it carefully, Lin Yin Yin did not become my talisman, Zhang Xiong is also useless, he is even wimpier than me.
I was thinking about it, but I couldn't do anything about it, but Zhang Xiong woke up at this moment. He slept through the night until now, and as soon as he woke up, he yelled at me: "You're back, not dead ah."
I said how can I die? I just went out for a stroll. He bristled and asked if I had any useful information for him.
I don't understand, what information? He was upset: "The class president, ah, I thought I said to pick her up?"
I am speechless, you woke up thinking about girls? I said there was no information, she is not a good pick up. The boy smiled proudly: "I'm not going to pick up a girl who is not difficult."
I ignored it and let him have his way. He yawned and got out of bed, and then he yammered: "After a good night's sleep, I suddenly thought of an idea to help you, do not have to be afraid of Qin Lan."
This is strange, he still has some use. I quickly said what idea? He pretended to be sophisticated: "I remembered something, my friend said that there are several hooligan gangs in the city, all of them are drug addicts, they do not like each other, Qin Lan's group is not considered powerful, you can join the powerful gang."
What is this? At that time, my understanding was that he asked me to join the gang. Join a GANG? I was just a high school student.
I said, are you kidding? He was serious: "My friend told me, go to the bar late at night, get some white powder, make small talk with them, and get a little more generous, and become acquainted with them."
I went, this is too scary, my mind already thought of that kind of place of the sound to fight and kill. I quickly shook my head and said no, and I do not have the money to get close to them.
Zhang Xiong scolded me for being a coward, I said do you have the guts to go ah? He has no balls, cursing and going to brush his teeth.
This kid is messing around. I secretly smiled bitterly, this method obviously does not work.
Finally, I could not think of a good way, and I was tired, and I fell asleep.
When I woke up, the sky was dark and it was already seven o'clock. But most of my roommates were not in the dormitory, and Zhang Xiong was gone.
I sat for a while, I wanted to go back to sleep, but unexpectedly a roommate rushed in and called me: "Li Chen, outside the school came a lot of gangsters, I also saw a woman, is she the one you said was the Lan-jiejie."
I was taken aback, this roommate was going to the Takasu Middle School at the time, and at that time I told Zhang Xiong after he knew about the situation.
I quickly asked, what does she look like? He gave me a gesture: "More than one meter six, fierce and vicious, good-looking, the hair is a little wavy."
No doubt, it was that bitch Qin Lan. Fucking bastard, although I had expected her to come to kill, but did not expect it'd be so soon, she didn’t even need her eyes to see me at that time? (TN: Was hard to TL, sorry, 她就不用去看看眼睛看看下面?)
I panicked a little and quickly calmed down, I'm willing to go out, but also panicking, anyway, they would not kill.
I was going to go to bed and forget about it, not bothering them. But the more you sleep, the more you can't sleep. I'm not worried about myself, but thinking about it I'm afraid that Qin Lan will turn to my sister for revenge, and I'm sure she will do so, and if she can't catch me all the time, ten times the anger will be vented on my sister.
I sat up again and got out of bed, and the roommate asked me where I was going. I said, I'm going to go and see them, and he advised me to hide for good.
I didn't listen and went out quickly.
Before I approached the entrance of the school, I already noticed that there was a lot of activity there, because there were many students talking about something in amazement.
I went over to take a peek, not far from the street, four motorcycles parked, several young people over there joking and smoking, Qin Lan and her bitchy friends are also among them, attracting two hundred and fifty eyes.
I took a deep breath and retreated. I was sick of her bullying, and if I didn't solve it once and for all, she would never stop.
For a moment I even thought of killing her, a dangerous thought, and I felt myself getting carried away.
Then I walked towards the school building, subconsciously hoping to meet some teacher to talk about it, although very unlikely to be of any assistance.
However, I didn't meet a teacher, so I wandered around the bottom of the building for a while, feeling anxious, and then noticed a lot of newspapers taped to the glass windows of the classrooms in front of me. (TN: Oh no.)
One of the newspapers had the word "kidnapping" prominently displayed on it.
It was a crime story about a criminal who kidnapped a student for ransom.
I read it all carefully, my heart thumping, all kinds of crime news that I had previously come across flashed through my mind like a lightning bolt.
I never thought it would come to this.
Clenching my fist, I hurried away and started wandering again, wandering until all those punks left.
They were sure to come back, and I was a fish in a barrel. I pinched myself a few times, crossed my fingers and popped my own fingers to make a cracking sound.
What was I thinking?
Looking at the school entrance, there were very few people left, the students had went away.
The day was dull, as was my mood at the moment. I gritted my teeth and ran out. Qin Lan, did you go and vent to my sister again?
I had no money in my pocket and couldn't go to Takasu High School, so I wandered around like a ghost, thinking about all the possibilities.
I felt a sudden weight on my shoulder, I was startled, cold sweat emerged. It turned out to be Zhang Xiong, the kid just came back, presumably to go on the Internet.
He looked at me suspiciously: "What are you doing? You’re shaking like a dog.”
I opened my hand to him and asked to borrow money. He did not like it, I said next month to pay you back double, he said okay, so I went back to the dorm.
I told him I would eat a snack and go back, I was starving. He left on his own. I ran and ate two fried noodles, then went to the store and bought a fruit knife and a very long rope, then took a motorcycle to Takasu High School.
The initial plan was already in my head, but I wasn't sure if I would do it, I subconsciously didn't want to do it, as long as Qin Lan didn't bully my sister anymore, even if she bullied me, I could put up with it.
The journey was uneventful, arriving at the Takasu High School when the night was late, but in this busy area, evening had just begun, there were not many students, but many adults.
I stuffed both the fruit knife and the rope in my pocket and walked steadily towards the milk tea store. As usual, I was peeking, I was even praying that Qin Lan was not here, but here she was, walking out with the two girls laughing, and then looking inside the store, my sister was hanging her head down, her head full of milk tea, she was drenched.
I'm too angry to talk, and all my anger is breaking out of my heart. Let's get it over with tonight, I've had enough!
I retreated back around the familiar alley and got out of the main road and saw the three girls walking down the street talking and laughing.
I followed from afar, I’m not too sure I can take three of them, I only took down Qin Lan before, but that’s good enough.
The three of them separated when they reached the intersection, Qin Lan continued to take the main road, and the other two went home.
I stared coldly at Qin Lan's back, she had the same disgusting feeling as the street whore woman.
I do not intend to follow her too far, just a less crowded area to take her down.
So walking a little further, after she left the road I carefully observed the surrounding area, here the street lights are broken, there are only pedestrians in the distance, in a really good position I decided to immediately rush up.
I kicked her as soon as I rushed over, and she was caught off guard and fell on her face. I laughed viciously: "Fuck you!"
I went in and pulled out a fruit knife, pulled it out of its sheath, sharp knife squeezed in my hand.
Within ten seconds, Qin Lan also rushed in, her mouth still cursing: "Bastard, you are NOT going to win against me.”
As soon as those words fell, my arm crashed forward and viciously pressed her against the wall. It wasn’t a light grasp.
She was startled, and immediately struggled, my whole body also pressed up against her, almost pinning her to the wall.
I am quite a bit taller than she is, so she can't struggle, but her hands are grasping, teeth are gnawing, still not to be underestimated.
My fruit knife was on her face: "Qin Lan, I'll fucking kill you!"
A cry, coupled with the cold coldness of the fruit knife, Qin Lan was finally calmed, she instantly stopped moving: "You ...... what the fuck do you want?"
I moved the fruit knife, panting like a bull: "You think the people you bullied are so timid and afraid of things? Today I tell you, I tell you, even if we die together, I'll kill you first!"
All my wildness and fierceness were exposed, like a hungry wolf. Neither of us could see each other's expressions, but I felt that Qin Lan was defeated.
I reached out with one hand to take out the rope and poked her face with the knife: "Hold out your hand."
She refused, I used a little force with the knife, she immediately screamed in pain, as if her face was cut.
This time she finally behaved and put her hands out. I wrapped the rope around her, and took a lot of time to tie her up.
I'm not very good at tying, the rope ran out, she was like a dumpling, walking is not possible.
I tied a dead-end knot and pulled her along. She conceded for the first time: "What do you want? I know you're kind, let me go, and I won’t tell anyone."
Do you expect me to believe that? I laughed grimly twice and pulled the rope deeper into the alley. She jumped helplessly and burst out again, "Do you know who I am? My father manages a factory, all my friends are in gangs, you'll die a horrible death."
This bitch is very clear-headed, ah, worthy of the bitch title who has been bullying others for years.
I just laughed coldly and pulled her in far enough to make sure she wouldn't be noticed before I stopped.
Qin Lan was already panting, there was a bit of light cast from somewhere over here, I could see her face clearly, there was a bloodstain on it, the blood had coagulated.
Her eyes were full of resentment and humiliation, but she was sensible enough not to argue with me. I laughed, what a valiant woman.
A kick to the side, she can not stand directly and falls to the ground cursing.
I squatted down and stared at her, I found my fingers shaking a bit, doing this kind of thing was to test the mental quality of people, I do not know if I can finish this.
Qin Lan stared at me viciously, she expected me not to do anything to her, but she feared my fruit knife.
I patted her face with the fruit knife, deliberately pretending to be very relaxed: "We finished early, you can also go back early, but make sure to cooperate with, oh"
Translator Notes: Oh? Perhaps someone caught them? Wonder who it’ll be… guess we’ll find out next time!!
