Sure, here’s the translated text without additional commentary or explanations:
But Chen Tianlong was different, Lu Xiaoyu treated him with special care too.
Chen Tianlong smiled slightly, feeling that with these two buddies, his mom no longer needed to worry about his studies.
He took the notebook and started copying it seriously. After all, in two weeks, there would be another monthly exam. He had to maintain his position in the top five, so next time Wu Mengting would definitely take care of things.
Last time, he was really unlucky, coincidentally meeting Wu Mengting during her period, and there was nothing to be done.
Furthermore, Chen Tianlong thought of something, Shen Yan, didn’t she also promise him a kiss if he made it to the top five?
Thinking of this, Chen Tianlong got excited.
At this moment, Chen Tianlong and Lu Xiaoyu’s unintentional actions just now made Zhao Zhuo beside them grit his teeth in frustration. This was jealousy, naked jealousy.
Zhao Zhuo recalled the treatment he received from the beauty in the morning and then looked at the current scene. He really wanted to slam the table and curse, but he couldn’t!
If he slammed the table, most likely the principal would come over to talk to him.
This time, arranging for Zhao Zhuo to be here took a monumental effort from his superior leadership. After all, this was not the Capital City; even if the Chupeng Group’s power was huge, crossing two provinces meant no one would care.
However, Principal Situ Feng was a wise man, knowing it’s better to have fewer troubles than more. The group was a big enterprise after all; granting some respect and arranging a school place for someone wasn’t a big deal, as long as no major events were caused, it was generally fine.
So, Zhao Zhuo’s position at the school was not unassailable; he also had many concerns. Because of this, his superiors repeatedly warned him not to cause trouble, just to focus on keeping an eye on Chen Tianlong.
"Chen Tianlong, I will definitely find an opportunity to teach you a harsh lesson!" Zhao Zhuo glared sinisterly in Chen Tianlong’s direction, staring blankly, and just like that, the class passed.
When the bell rang for class dismissal, Li Kai walked over with his hands in his pockets.
"Hey, Zhao Zhuo, welcome, welcome. You probably don’t know where the bathroom is, right? Let me show you, and we can have a cigarette along the way!" Li Kai casually sat on Zhao Zhuo’s desk and hinted.
"Alright!" Zhao Zhuo originally didn’t want to go out, but when he heard "cigarette," he got interested. He came in a hurry this time and forgot to buy a pack, and obviously, the school didn’t sell them.
Li Kai saw Zhao Zhuo agree so readily, thinking he was tactful, but actually, Zhao Zhuo just had a craving for a cigarette and agreed to go along.
The two left the classroom, with Mo Shaoyun closely following. Chen Tianlong looked up just in time to see Zhao Zhuo leaving with Li Kai, frowning immediately. These people walking together was not a good sign; they would definitely team up against him in the future. Get full chapters from 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾※𝙣𝙚𝙩
Sure enough, as the three reached the bathroom, another person walked in behind them - it was Mo Shaoyun, who Zhao Zhuo had beaten up before.
After Mo Shaoyun entered the bathroom, two people stood at the entrance, one being Li Kai and the other Zhou Kang. Their task was to stop anyone coming in, to keep things clear as they discussed important matters inside.
Seeing three people instantly surrounding him, Zhao Zhuo’s brow furrowed. He recognized Mo Shaoyun, the one he had beaten up earlier in the morning, and thought they were here to make trouble.
"You guys... what do you want?" Zhao Zhuo asked calmly.
He wouldn’t initiate trouble, but if they started it, then they shouldn’t blame him. At that time, he would have an explanation to the principal.
"Brother Zhao, you’ve misunderstood, we’re here to discuss something with you, don’t be tense," Mo Shaoyun quickly explained.
"Oh? Discuss? What do we have to discuss!" Zhao Zhuo was puzzled, thinking this kid probably thought he had some skills and wanted to recruit him to do their bidding.
"That’s the thing, I’m Mo Shaoyun, Young Master of the Mo Family, and this here is Hao Jian, the young master of the Hao Family in South Sea. We’re both well-known figures," Mo Shaoyun introduced.
Zhao Zhuo didn’t quite understand Mo Shaoyun’s words.
"Haha, we used to call the shots at this school, but this semester a tough guy came and took over our place. Seeing Brother Zhao’s skills this morning, we want to invite you to join us. Are you willing?"
Mo Shaoyun was making a request, so his attitude was very respectful.
"Oh, so you’re here to persuade me, but... why should I join you? What’s in it for me?" Zhao Zhuo asked with a faint smile.
"Of course there are benefits. Judging by your accent, you’re probably not local, right? Meanwhile, Young Master Hao and I are all-powerful in South Sea. If you want to do something or encounter any trouble in South Sea, just say the word, and we’ll provide immediate assistance. Doesn’t that count as a benefit?"
Mo Shaoyun laid out his terms.
Zhao Zhuo’s brow furrowed. Mo Shaoyun made a lot of sense. He was indeed new to this place; if he wanted to deal with Chen Tianlong thoroughly, he would need to leverage local powers in South Sea. These two in front of him were undoubtedly the best options.
"This condition does sound quite tempting, so tell me your terms, and I’ll see if it’s worth it." Zhao Zhuo was a smart person and would never easily agree to something without considering the worth.
"Our terms are simple, help us deal with one person," Mo Shaoyun said straight to the point.
"Chen Tianlong! That guy from our class, he’s just too detestable."
Every time Mo Shaoyun thought of Chen Tianlong, he felt a hundred mud horses galloping wildly in his heart, but no anger dared to be expressed, let alone take action. Since the beginning of the semester, his feet still occasionally hurt even now.
"Hiss... are you talking about that punk from our class, Chen Tianlong?"
Upon hearing this name, Zhao Zhuo got interested. Initially, he was thinking about ways to deal with Chen Tianlong, but now, what a surprise, he had comrades, and this was going to be fun.
Who would have thought that this three-month task would become colorful and lively again?
"Could it be... Brother Zhao also has a grudge against Chen Tianlong?"
Hao Jian, who had been silently standing by, suddenly spoke.
Zhao Zhuo sized up Hao Jian, who had a trendy hairstyle that screamed "young master." Zhao Zhuo had seen many young masters like him recently; even his own family’s young master was probably similar.
"Mm... that punk is really arrogant, and I want to teach him a lesson." Zhao Zhuo didn’t hide much, speaking directly.
"Haha, that’s great, we have the same goal, don’t we?"
Hao Jian was overjoyed. With Zhao Zhuo joining them, their team was growing stronger and stronger. When they faced Chen Tianlong, they wouldn’t have to hide or be overly respectful anymore.
The class bell rang, and after exchanging numbers, the group returned to their class. They planned to meet up for a gathering that evening to discuss the concrete plans ahead.
