Chapter 42: Chapter 41: Challenging the Establishment

(There’s another Chapter after midnight. If you haven’t gone to sleep by then, dear readers, please support me with a few recommendation tickets!)

————————————

"A boy?"

Gao Junjie and Wang Qiang were simultaneously taken aback.

"Yes, a guy named Xiao Yi. Young Master Gao, do you know him?"

A chill flashed in Jin Xiaohan’s eyes. After several days of investigation, his trusted aide Zhang Bing had finally tracked down Xiao Yi. Unfortunately, the information gathered was very limited; they only knew that he was part of the mathematics department. So, he thought of asking his old friend Gao Junjie.

Xiao Yi? I’ve never heard of him.

Gao Junjie furrowed his brows and thought hard about all the students he knew from class. Just as he felt there was no impression, he suddenly noticed the brightening expression of the handsome boy beside him and instantly had a realization himself, lifting his head to say to Jin Xiaohan, "Young Master Jin, I seem to recall this person. What do you want with him?"

"Young Master Gao, what’s this kid’s story? I won’t hide it from you. Recently, I took a fancy to a girl in our department and was just making some progress. Then suddenly, this boy interfered, and I can’t just let it go. So, I want to teach him a lesson."

Jin Xiaohan, seeing that Gao Junjie indeed knew him, immediately brightened his eyes with anticipation.

On hearing Jin Xiaohan’s words, Gao Junjie felt a surge of elation. Not only had he found out that the boy was Xiao Yi, but also that Xiao Yi was not interested in Zhao Yuhua, but in Jin Xiaohan’s girl. This was terrific news! He was just worrying about how to test Xiao Yi’s mettle, and here Jin Xiaohan was bringing the opportunity straight to him. It was like someone bringing a pillow to him while he wanted to sleep. However, he showed none of this on his face, instead adopting a disdainful tone, "Ha, this kid’s nobody, just a country bumpkin. I can’t believe this bumpkin dares to make a move on Young Master Jin’s territory. Damn, Young Master Jin, do you want me to take action and teach him a lesson for you?"

"Damn, a country bumpkin? No need to bother Young Master Gao, I’ll handle it myself."

Jin Xiaohan, without any doubt in Gao Junjie’s words, although not very close friends with him, they recognized each other and their families had some business relations. There was no need for Gao to deceive him over such a trivial matter, and he didn’t want to owe Gao any favors, so he immediately refused Gao’s offer to take the lead.

"Alright, with Young Master Jin’s capabilities, squashing a country bumpkin should be no problem. It will be more satisfying to do it yourself. If you need any help, just give me a call."

Gao Junjie didn’t press further, just went with the flow.

"Sure, no problem, bro, thanks. I’ll be leaving now."

Jin Xiaohan nodded, patted Gao Junjie’s shoulder, and then turned to leave. As he left, a sinister expression flickered in the corner of his eye, now that he knew Xiao Yi was a small fry with no background, he felt free to act.

"Young Master Gao, wow, that’s smart. I mean, who could have thought that boy would also vex Young Master Jin? It’s perfect to let Young Master Jin deal with him!"

As soon as Jin Xiaohan was out of sight, the tall, thin man immediately looked up at Gao Junjie with admiration, excitement flashing in his eyes.

The other two also looked towards Gao Junjie with faces full of admiration.

Gao Junjie, feeling the admiring gazes of the three, couldn’t help the smug smile curling his lips, thinking coldly, Xiao by name, pfft, let’s see how long you can keep jumping around.

......

"So, Xiaoxiao, where are we going?"

After leaving the classroom, Xiao Yi had been led by Zeng Xiaoxiao all over the campus, looping around several times without reaching the fun place she mentioned, and he hadn’t heard her mention where they were exactly headed. Unable to hold back his curiosity any longer, when she pulled him into an older-looking academic building, he finally asked.

"We’re almost there, Brother Xiao, just bear with it a little longer."

Xiaoxiao continued to drag him inside while offering him a comforting word.

"..."

Xiao Yi broke into a fierce sweat. Xiaoxiao’s way of talking was truly speechless; he asked where they were going, and she said to bear with it for now, which sounded awkward and overly ambiguous.

Turning to look around and seeing that there seemed to be no one around, Xiao Yi let out a sigh of relief.

To avoid Xiaoxiao making another shocking remark, Xiao Yi decided to simply stop asking and let her pull him further inside.

Fortunately, Xiaoxiao said they were almost there, and indeed, they quickly arrived.

The fun place she mentioned turned out to be the basement of the academic building.

Standing in front of the door marked "Taekwondo Hall," Xiao Yi looked around somewhat speechlessly and asked curiously, "Xiaoxiao, why did you bring me here?"

"You’ll see in a bit, hee hee."

Xiaoxiao flashed a mischievous smile at Xiao Yi and then pulled him straight inside.

"Ha!"

"Ha!"

"Ya!"

"..."

Since it was noon, there weren’t many people in the Taekwondo Hall, but as soon as they entered, they immediately heard the sounds of training, and saw a group of people in pristine white Taekwondo uniforms either kicking in the air or practicing on punching bags.

Seeing Xiao Yi and Xiaoxiao come in, a handsome man who was training close to the door frowned and then stopped. He walked over and snorted coldly at Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, what are you doing here!"

"I’m here to challenge this place, did you think I came to learn your silly Taekwondo!"

Xiaoxiao said matter-of-factly, then gave the handsome man a look of you’re-an-idiot. While saying ’Taekwondo,’ she purposefully pronounced the middle syllable with a different tone.

Xiao Yi was wondering why Xiaoxiao had brought him to the Taekwondo Hall. There didn’t seem to be anything fun here, and he had absolutely no interest in Taekwondo. He was about to ask her about it when he heard her make such a shocking statement that he couldn’t help but sweat profusely. However, hearing her deliberately mispronouncing the word made him chuckle despite himself.

"You... Xiaoxiao, I’m telling you, my patience is limited. If you keep making trouble unreasonably, don’t blame me for being rude. Others might be afraid of you, but I am not!"

The handsome man’s face turned pale with anger. After taking several deep breaths to slightly calm down, he pointed at her and shouted angrily.

"Psh, you’re not afraid of me, but do you think I’m afraid of you? Hmph, don’t think your Taekwondo is anything special. Today, I’m going to show you what real Kung Fu is!"

Xiaoxiao looked disdainfully at the handsome man.

Then, turning to Xiao Yi with a cute expression, she said, "Brother Xiao, quick, kick this idiot away and let him see what Kung Fu really is!"
