When the baby-faced boy mentioned Gu Mang, he remembered that he had been lambasted by netizens after apologizing on Weibo the day before. When he went back home, he was again lectured by his parents.
He said icily, “Maybe they really think we are pushovers.”
They ruined Zhou Xintang, slapped them in the face, and still had the cheeks to go to their school! They were courting death!
Yi Chen tightly squeezed the pen in his hand and narrowed his eyes. “There won’t be many people in school today?”
Baby-face pondered for a moment and understood what he was getting at. “I asked. Gu Mang’s scene will end around six o’clock in the evening. There won’t be many people left in school then.”
“Go and call Fang Ming and the others, and gather at the intersection in front of the school in the evening.”
Fang Ming was the thin guy.
The baby-faced boy grunted, thought of something, and asked, “Brother Chen, shall we bring something with us? I heard that Gu Mang is very good at fighting.”
“It’s not like you haven’t fought before, why do you have to ask me?” Yi Chen said coldly.
The baby-faced boy sneered. “Alright.”
Gu Mang’s scene ended after six o’clock and the sky was already dark by the time shooting was finished. Sheng Ting still had to film some more scenes, however. After talking to him, Gu Mang changed out of her costume and into her Ming City High School uniform, and walked towards Experimental High School’s entrance.
On weekends, there were few students at school. Only some of the street lights were turned on and it was quite dark. The cell phone in her pocket vibrated. It was probably a WeChat message. She ignored it as the weather was too cold and she didn’t even want to pull her hands out of her pocket.
Gu Mang was the only person on the road and she walked slowly. After walking through the woods in front of the school she noticed several teenagers nearby who were behaving like hooligans.
“Brother Chen, how are you going to teach her a lesson?”
Yi Chen didn’t reply but another voice said, “She can dance, right? Why not break her leg?”
“She knows how to design too.” Another boy laughed. “Shall we cut her arm as well?”
“She made a fool of us at Experimental High School, yet she still has the cheeks to show up here. She’s pretty bold, isn’t she?” said a thin guy.
Someone was hitting something against the wall. Because the area was quiet, every hit against the wall sent sound reverberating throughout the area. It sounded like a steel pipe.
Then, the baby-faced boy said, “Why isn’t she here yet, Brother Chen? Do you think after they are done filming, Sheng Ting and her will… Oh, she’s here.”
Gu Mang stood under the street light very conspicuously. The baby-faced boy noticed Gu Mang as he was talking half way and grinned.
The five guys turned around and stared at her with ill intentions. It was sickening. They Slowly came around the corner, carrying steel pipes and daggers. Their blades gleamed coldly.
The five surrounded Gu Mang.
Gu Mang cocked her head and casually glanced at the weapons in their hands.
“Gu Mang, we’ve been waiting for you.” Yi Chen held the long steel pipe and dragged it on the ground, making an unpleasant sound.
He looked vicious.
The baby-faced boy brandished a dagger and laughed. “We meet again, Gu Mang.”
Gu Mang smiled as well, pulling back her chin as she stared solemnly at them, her black eyes queer and cold. The raised ends of her eyes looked sinister. “You’re full of shit. Are we even close?”
The baby-faced boy’s face turned grim. His smile stiffened as he clutched the dagger in his hand. “You’re asking for death!”
Gu Mang took off her baseball cap and flung it aside, but she removed the scarf from her neck carefully, wrapped it at her waist, and tucked it in nicely. The thin boy and the others looked at each other. He went closer to Gu Mang with his steel pipe, a vicious expression on his face.
