Chapter 248: Chapter 248: Two Cobblers

"Jiang Chaoyang, have you been kicked by a donkey, or got your head stuck in a door? You didn’t even figure out Tang Ming’s background. How are you fit to be the dean of discipline? I knew he was a bodyguard for the Liu Family, how could you not know that?"

The roar of Qin Haitao burst through the phone, loud and clear for everyone in the office to hear.

Jiang Chaoyang covered the phone with an embarrassed face and ran outside while explaining, "I was just... in a hurry..."

"In a hurry my ass, you idiot, moron! If you’re going to tattle, at least grasp that he’s a bodyguard. The school doesn’t allow bodyguards, plus he got into a fight at school. Even Liu Gaoze wouldn’t be able to say anything about it, since the school rules explicitly prohibit students from bringing attendants. Otherwise, I would’ve brought a bodyguard to school long ago. Could Tang Ming still hit me? Useless, you’ve messed up all my plans. Now you might as well drop dead, otherwise, every time I see you, I’ll beat you up."

Qin Haitao cursed angrily and hung up the phone violently.

"Young Master Qin, you can’t just abandon me, hello, hello, hello..."

Jiang Chaoyang slumped against a wall, pale-faced and on the verge of tears.

Qin Haitao was seriously enraged this time. How could Jiang Chaoyang, a supposed top student, not understand such basic logic? Did he think he could just expel Tang Ming by making a scene? At this level of confrontation, one must be logical and justified to leave the Liu Family speechless!

Exactly because Liu Gaoze’s stake in the school, he should be setting an example, and had no choice but to expel Tang Ming even though it meant losing face.

Now that the Liu Family had made the first move and clarified Tang Ming’s identity, any attempt to implement the plan seemed virtually impossible, especially since the principal would never agree to it.

"A troublemaker good for nothing, such trash still dreams of tying himself to the Qin Family? Ridiculous."

Qin Haitao paced back and forth in the hospital corridor, fuming.

"Second Young Master, I’m back!"

Just then, Hua Laoqi and his two companions came out of the elevator, running excitedly towards Qin Haitao.

"A bunch of rubbish!"

Qin Haitao cursed inwardly, put on a serious face, and asked, "Have you found the murderer who killed Prince?"

"We’ve found him!"

Hua Laoqi grinned, eager to take credit, and said, "We found several eyewitnesses from the scene yesterday, and through some special means, we finally discovered who killed Prince."

Hua Laoqi and his men found a group of witnesses through their own networks, used threats and bribes to get the license plate of the nanny car from them, then falsely claimed to have been hit by that car and used the insurance company to track down the car owner’s information, finally pinpointing the murderer.’

"Who is it? I want to see who has the guts to lay hands on my big brother’s darling."

Qin Haitao asked with a lethal intent. He had been stewing in anger all day, temporarily unable to confront Tang Ming, and now he wanted to vent his anger on the killer.

"It’s a guy named Tang Ming, reportedly a student from Tianjiao Middle School, an attendant of the Liu Family’s young miss."

Hua Laoqi immediately reported the situation, hoping that his quick work this time would make up for past mistakes and maybe earn him a reward.

"Tianjiao Middle School’s Tang Ming?"

The previously aggressive Qin Haitao deflated upon hearing the name, cursing in his heart, "How is it that jerk again? With my big brother hospitalized, how dare I seek revenge on him?"

"Right, just a high school kid. Young Master, let’s go teach him a lesson. You can personally incapacitate him. How about that?"

Hua Laoqi proposed fiercely.

"Incapacitate my ass!"

Hearing this, Qin Haitao became even more furious, raised his hand, and started slapping Hua Laoqi across the face.

The two minions watched in bewilderment as Hua Laoqi inexplicably received a barrage of slaps, quickly ducking their heads and backing away, hair standing on end.

"Get lost, all of you!"

After taking out his frustration on Hua Laoqi, Qin Haitao exploded in fury.

"Yes, yes, yes."

With a swollen nose and bruised face, and a mouth full of fresh blood, Hua Laqi dared not even let out a fart and fled the scene with the help of his two underlings.

"How the heck am I supposed to get revenge now?"

Qin Haitao slumped despondently in his chair, sighing heavily.

Qin Haitao had been beaten into the hospital, Jiang Chaoyang had been stripped of his position, and he himself was no match for Tang Ming, so how was he supposed to get his revenge?

Although he didn’t have the courage to take on Tang Ming alone, Qin Haitao couldn’t resign himself to letting it go. After thinking it over, he thought of Ma Gangqiang.

"Ma Gangqiang is the school bully at Tianjiao Middle School, and he had said he wanted to find an opportunity to deal with Tang Ming. Back in school, Ma Gangqiang was calmer and more composed in the face of Tang Ming than I was, and coupled with the Ma Family being an established power in Songlan City, they must have a way better than mine."

Qin Haitao suddenly stood up, talking excitedly to himself, "That’s it, I’ll go ask Ma Gangqiang."

Once he had made up his mind, Qin Haitao explained the situation to the medical staff and left the hospital to visit Ma Gangqiang at the Ma Family’s home.

Since returning home, Ma Gangqiang had been obsessively brushing his teeth. The thought of having been forcefully kissed by that rough old man Qin Haitao at school made him want to change the skin of his lips.

"That damned bastard, he even stuck his tongue out, disgusting me to death?"

Ma Gangqiang stood in front of the sink, cursing as he brushed vigorously, his gums bleeding but he didn’t stop.

"Young Master, there is a Mr. Qin Haitao outside asking to see you,"

Right at this moment, a servant knocked on the door and reported.

"What’s he here for?"

Ma Gangqiang jumped in surprise, rinsing his mouth while speculating about the other party’s intentions.

Qin Haitao sat on the sofa in the Ma Family’s villa living room and waited for a while before a strangely-faced Ma Gangqiang came downstairs after finishing his ablutions.

"Brother Ma, long time no see!"

Qin Haitao stood up and greeted politely.

"Big Brother, didn’t we just see each other this morning?"

Ma Gangqiang rolled his eyes, feeling nauseated again at the thought of that morning’s events.

"Ahem, it seems so."

Qin Haitao nodded awkwardly, having intended to exchange pleasantries but...

"Spit it out, why have you come to me? How’s your brother’s injury?"

Ma Gangqiang, not in the mood for small talk, sat down opposite Qin Haitao and cut straight to the point.

"Actually..."

As Qin Haitao was about to speak, he noticed Ma Gangqiang’s mouth was a fresh red, and upon closer inspection, it appeared his lips were swollen too. He couldn’t help staring a bit longer, puzzled at how this had happened?

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you looking at?"

Feeling a chill as Qin Haitao stared intently at his mouth, Ma Gangqiang asked warily:

"You don’t happen to have developed an addiction because of that kiss, falling in love with me, do you?"

"Cut the crap!"

Coming to his senses, reminded by Ma Gangqiang’s comment, Qin Haitao also remembered that embarrassing episode, and quickly clarified, "I came to discuss Tang Ming with you."
