Chapter 165: Chapter 0165: Employing the Poisonous Trick Again

"Good, that move is vicious enough!"

Chen Cang revealed a smile and snapped his fingers.

"Xiao Jun, go and keep an eye on Tang Ming. See where that kid is resting, then come and tell me quickly."

Chen Cang issued the order directly.

Xiao Jun took the order and immediately ran to Class Five’s resting area.

"Monkey, after Xiao Jun finds out, you go and slip him some stimulants," Chen Cang said.

"Brother Cang, don’t worry, I’ll definitely be the one to do it. Xiao Jun is too timid; if we send that kid, I’d be afraid the whole thing would get messed up," Monkey volunteered eagerly.

Half an hour later, the 100 meters final began. Chen Cang had made up his mind; this time, getting second place would be enough.

The athletes gathered at the starting line, and Tang Ming saw Chen Cang, "Dead fly, you’re in this 100 meters too? If you come in last again, you’ll be setting a record for our school."

"Hmph, I just didn’t feel like running before. Now that I want to run, there’s no way I’ll be the last one."

Chen Cang ignored Tang Ming’s provocation and went to his track to warm up.

Tang Ming could tell; Chen Cang had received professional coaching, and his use of sprinting techniques was far beyond that of many students. Coupled with his strong physique and regular fitness regimen, his physical condition was also pretty good. Therefore, he had a considerable chance of placing in the school sports meet, maybe even first place if he performed a bit better.

But with Tang Ming participating, Chen Cang’s first place was definitely out of reach. Since Tang Ming couldn’t beat him up now, he could only bully Chen Cang through the race results.

As the starter’s "On your marks" command sounded, the students competing in the race squatted down, feet pressed to the starting blocks.

Tang Ming’s form was just as standard as Chen Cang’s. In the 100 meters dash, you can’t afford to be careless; victory or defeat is decided in a second or two. Tang Ming intended to take first place and, of course, had to be careful, giving Chen Cang no chance.

With the starter’s pistol fired, the athletes burst from the starting line. Although Tang Ming’s start wasn’t fast, his acceleration mid-race was swift, overtaking three students in succession, and in the final moment, he surged past Chen Cang to break the tape.

After claiming first place, Tang Ming looked at Chen Cang and said indifferently, "Dead fly, as long as I’m here, you’ll never be able to get first place."

"We’ll see."

Chen Cang, having taken second place, walked away with a clouded expression.

Meanwhile, Fatty, holding a bottle of mineral water, handed it to Tang Ming. Glancing over at Chen Cang not too far away, he laughed, "Brother Ming, you ran too fast, didn’t give dead fly any chance to overtake at all."

"That guy’s had professional training in running; many people in school can’t compare with him. But it’s just his bad luck to run into me. I won’t let him win a single championship."

Tang Ming then asked, "Fatty, that job I gave you, how much did we make?"

"This number."

Fatty smiled and raised five fingers.

"Five thousand?"

Tang Ming thought he could take home over twenty thousand himself, enough to buy poison or whatever. Plus, he wouldn’t have to worry about money the next time he had to foot the bill for something.

"Underestimating me, huh?"

Fatty expressed his discontent, "It’s five hundred thousand."

Pfft! Tang Ming spat out a mouthful of mineral water and looked at Fatty in astonishment, "Say that again?"

"Five hundred thousand."

Fatty whispered into Tang Ming’s ear.

"Damn it, how much did you bet this time?"

Tang Ming thought to himself that this had to be the last time; he absolutely couldn’t let Fatty gamble again. If this guy became addicted, he would turn into a hopeless gambler and squander every last penny he had.

"Bro Tang, isn’t it because you told me it was a sure win that I took out all the red packet money I’d saved up and put it all down in one go? Thankfully I won now, haha."

Fatty said with a chuckle.

"Just this once, if you gamble again, watch out—I’ll beat you until you’re bruised and battered."

Tang Ming warned with a dark expression.

"Bro Tang, I definitely won’t dare to gamble again in the future."

Fatty shook his head; he was really scared of Tang Ming now, feeling as if the other was like a real elder brother. He greatly admired and was obedient towards him.

"Remember what you’ve promised."

Then, Tang Ming quickly added, "Remember to give me my share; I’ve been dead broke recently, didn’t even have the money to pay when I treated people last time."

Chen Cang had Monkey keep an eye on Tang Ming and seeing Tang Ming drink down most of the bottle of mineral water, a cold smile appeared on Monkey’s face. He took out his cell phone and called Chen Cang, "Bro Cang, he’s drunk it. We can tell the teacher now."

"Good."

Chen Cang hung up the phone and sneered viciously,

"Let’s see if I don’t destroy you this time. If Poison can’t kill you, I refuse to believe that you’re immune to performance-enhancing drugs too!"

Chen Cang immediately took Xiao Jun and ran directly to the guidance office to find the PE teacher in charge of the sports meet.

Teacher Liu Dalun of Tianjiao High School was the most respected PE teacher and also the Group Leader of the sports department!

He had been part of the provincial team in his youth and had won awards at national competitions. Later, he was recruited by Tianjiao High School with a hefty salary to become a teacher and now oversaw all the affairs of the sports department.

The sports meet was organized single-handedly by him; when Liu Dalun heard Chen Cang’s report of a student taking performance-enhancing drugs, he became seriously angry!

As someone who had competed at a national level, he utterly loathed performance-enhancing drugs. Using such substances was cheating, a clear sign of ill intentions, using drugs to boost one’s results to achieve a higher rank at the cost of depriving other athletes who relied on their own abilities of the chance to advance.

Taking performance-enhancing drugs meant ruining oneself and harming others, especially in a school setting; it was tantamount to cheating in an exam and had to be dealt with severely.

"You’re saying the person who took performance-enhancing drugs is Tang Ming from Senior Year 3 Class 5?"

Liu Dalun didn’t know Tang Ming, but he had heard from a colleague that this Tang Ming had just transferred to Tianjiao High School. However, his basketball skills were impressive, having lead Class 5 to victory over the sports elite Class 9, and this had made a significant impression on him.

"Right, Teacher Liu, it’s that Tang Ming."

Chen Cang said with a pained expression, "I just barely ran second. If Tang Ming took performance-enhancing drugs, then I should rightfully be the first-place winner. Teacher Liu, you can’t ignore this."

"Don’t worry, taking performance-enhancing drugs is equivalent to cheating; I won’t turn a blind eye."

Liu Dalun picked up his cell phone to call the school doctor, instructing him to prepare the equipment for testing.

Then, led by Chen Cang, Liu Dalun went to find Tang Ming to verify the situation.

Tang Ming had already finished his events for the day, taking two first-place victories; he was now resting in Class 5’s resting area.

While chatting with Fatty, Tang Ming suddenly saw Chen Cang leading someone who looked like a teacher over to him.

"What the hell is this fly up to now?" Seeing Chen Cang coming over, Tang Ming guessed this guy definitely meant no good.

Sure enough, upon approaching Tang Ming, the teacher demanded sternly,

"Are you Tang Ming?"
