Chapter 98: 97, is there no law anymore?!_1

Ren He didn’t bother with Lin Hao and just ran off. Fighting and fleeing was truly exhilarating. However, while descending in the elevator, he reminisced about the scene he had just experienced. Ren He felt that the other party seemed somewhat professional in fighting, and even under the influence of the Vomiting Skill, the opponent still wanted to counterattack. Who was that person?

What surprised him even more was his own master-level fighting skills, which were imprinted into his instincts by the Divine Punishment System. The moment he threw his first punch, that feeling of muscle coordination and power was simply thrilling, as if his strength could explode at any minute!

Excitement, that was Ren He’s mood now. But he never considered the impact that knocking out Lin Hao, a middle schooler, in under a minute would have if word got out, mainly because he didn’t know who Lin Hao really was.

Of course, the key to his swift victory also lay in the use of the Vomiting Skill. As crude as it sounded, it was extremely practical when put to use.

That evening, he texted Yang Xi directly, "Some creeper’s been watching you, I beat him up so he might back off, but you should still be cautious. Better tell Yang En too, or you’ll regret it if anything happens."

Ren He felt that if this lesson wasn’t enough to deter the young man, he certainly wouldn’t show mercy next time.

Yang Xi was obedient and relayed everything Ren He told her to Yang En, who immediately furrowed his brows. He was keenly aware that something might not be right, as he had just finished a mission and someone was already surveilling him. It surely wasn’t as straightforward as Ren He had made it out to be. Yet, remembering that Ren He said he had taught the guy a lesson, it seemed unlikely that the person was a professional...

If someone could get beaten up by a middle schooler, then there probably wasn’t much to worry about—this was Yang En’s genuine thought.

The situation continued to veer further in the direction of misunderstanding, with each party having incomplete information...

At midnight, Lin Hao’s phone rang. He was still not fully recovered from the severe bout of vomiting, feeling somewhat weak... He answered the phone, "Hello, Xingchen."

"Why do you sound a little weak?" Xingchen asked.

"It’s nothing..." How could Lin Hao possibly admit that he got thrashed by a middle schooler? He’d never live it down.

"That’s not right, something definitely happened. Lin Hao, the mission is the most important thing. If there’s a problem, you must tell me the truth!" Xingchen pressed.

"The target just finished dinner and is watching TV at home, what could happen to him? I haven’t noticed anyone with ill intentions towards him," Lin Hao said annoyed.

"As long as that’s the case, Lin Hao, remember, don’t do anything unnecessary," Xingchen said, and then hung up the phone.

On his end, Lin Hao was instantly aggravated. In the past, he had always done whatever he wanted during a mission without any problems, confident in his ability to resolve any issues that might arise. But this time had been a complete surprise—would anyone believe he was beaten by a middle schooler?! He certainly couldn’t believe it himself!

But why had he vomited at that time?!

It didn’t make any sense!

Could it really be because of that middle school student?! But on closer thought, the other party hadn’t used any weapons or substances like powders or liquids. If it was really Ren He’s doing, then Lin Hao had never encountered such a peculiar ability in his life...

He decided not to go to the rooftop and instead used a small military telescope to watch from his room. He would follow Yang En when she left the house during the day to provide stealthy protection, and only observe from a distance or stake out directly below her house at night.

In the morning, as usual, he left the hotel and drove to prepare for the day’s protection plan. But the moment he reached his car, he discovered... all four tires were flat!

"Who the hell did this?!" Lin Hao exclaimed in anger and frustration. "Is there no law anymore?" He immediately guessed that it must have been that youngster; the fact he was standing in front of Lin Hao’s car on Xingshu Road was definitely not a coincidence. That youngster had actually managed to remember his car plate number after just one encounter, what a freak!

What sort of memory was that?

But what Lin Hao couldn’t comprehend the most was why the person would start a fight and smash his telescope upon seeing him... Was he crazy?

Ren He made a special morning run to meet Yang Xi at her doorstep before going to school, considering the incident with the creeper from the night before. He thought it best to be cautious; the most secure way was to pick her up in the morning and walk her home in the evening, leaving no chance for the creeper.

If they encountered him again, it would mean he was persistently up to no good, and Ren He would have to show no mercy once more.

Luckily, Lin Hao’s tires were flat, or they might have run into each other again at Yang Xi’s front gate. Who knows what trouble could have ensued then.

As soon as Yang Xi came downstairs, she saw Ren He waiting at the door and exclaimed, "What are you doing here?"

"Picking you up for school. But I didn’t bring my car; let’s walk!" Ren He said cheerfully.

"Not driving is for the best, your car is way too flashy!"

"Tsk, tsk, why should someone who got rich on their own merit keep a low profile, right?" Ren He said earnestly.

Normally, teenagers in love try to show their best side to each other, living like they’re almost not themselves yet reveling in it, but it becomes exhausting over time because you’re always wearing a mask.

Maybe you’re not really that rich. You treat your girlfriend to a meal and then you’re broke the next moment. Maybe you’re not all that polite either. In front of your girlfriend, it’s all, "Chicken not bar, civilized you and me," but turn around, and with your friends, it’s all swearing.

This kind of relationship starts sweet, then turns tiresome.

But with Yang Xi and Ren He, what was felt the most was authenticity. There was no need for pretenses for either of them; it was as if they had known each other from way before and had been together for a long time. She didn’t have to hide her flaws, and Ren He was downright shameless.

This kind of relationship was actually very comfortable, allowing them to be themselves.

On the way, Yang Xi sang "Easy to Ignite and Explode" to Ren He, and he sang his version from memory to see how she felt about it. They seemed to have endless topics to talk about.

When they arrived at school, Yang Xi headed for the building first, and Ren He waited at a distant intersection for five minutes.

Under the radar of their classmates, the relationship between Ren He and Yang Xi remained a secret, which they both found fun.

Ren He began thinking about the choice for the eighth song to give to Yang Xi. Although he had many songs in his memory, choosing one proved to be a challenge.

Sitting at his desk in the classroom, Ren He’s eyes suddenly lit up. There was one song that was perfect!
