After an unknown amount of time, Su Yifeng and Chen Luoling finally appeared at the school gate.

The thugs, who had been waiting impatiently, immediately erupted into a cacophony of profanities and curses.

"Damn, that bastard finally dared to come out! He's made me stand here in the sun all day. I'll teach him a lesson he won't forget!"

"Damn it, if it weren't for waiting for this coward, I would have gone back to the internet cafe to enjoy the air conditioning and play games!"

"If I don't make him kneel down and call me 'Dad,' I'll write my name backwards!"

"Didn't he call for reinforcements? Where are they? Could it be that they heard about Brother Xiong's reputation and are too scared to come?"

Xiong Tian had been waiting impatiently for this moment, and as soon as the target appeared, he waved his hand sharply: "All of you, follow me!"

A dozen or so people followed Su Yifeng and his companion in a long procession, keeping a distance of several dozen meters.

"Brother Xiong, why is this kid heading towards that wasteland we usually go to? Has he been scared out of his wits?"

"They've gone stupid from reading too much! That open space is perfect; let's surround it, beat them up, and they won't have anywhere to run!"

Xiong Tian sneered confidently, "Be smart, everyone. I bet he wants to negotiate with us. Even if the negotiations break down, it's not shameful to kneel down and beg for mercy when no one's around."

"Don't worry, Brother Xiong, I'll make sure he can't escape!"

At this moment, a thug licked his lips and said, "Brother Xiong, that little wench hanging around with that Su guy is really hot. Are we really going to let that idiot Liu Zihao have her?"

Another thug chimed in, "Exactly! A girl this hot is worth it even if you shorten your lifespan by ten years just to sleep with her once!"

"Selling it for only three thousand yuan? That's such a rip-off!"

Xiong Tian squinted, his heart bleeding as he recalled Chen Luoling's stunning beauty.

"Make him raise the money later. If he doesn't get a satisfactory amount..." A ruthless glint flashed in Xiong Tian's eyes, "The money and the woman, I want them both!"

……

Are you scared?

Su Yifeng turned his head to look at the well-behaved girl beside him. He was carrying a black bag containing his college admission notice and some spare money.

Chen Luoling followed him closely, never deviating from his lead.

Although the two are still at the stage of hugging on a physical level.

But on a spiritual level, Su Yifeng felt that Chen Luoling had already taken her form.

Su Yifeng even felt that if he took her to a hotel room now and said he wanted to count how many moles she had, Chen Luoling would obediently take off her clothes and let him count them.

Fortunately, Su Yifeng had no worries about food or clothing; otherwise, he might not have been able to resist such a stunning beauty.

"I'm not afraid." Chen Luoling gently shook her head, her clear eyes fixed on him.

That look might seem cold to others, but Su Yifeng always felt that it had a blank or dazed quality to it.

"You don't have any other friends at school, do you? I always see you alone."

"You are my friend now."

"I meant other friends..." Su Yifeng sighed and rubbed his forehead. "Never mind, Uncle Zhao sent a message saying everything is arranged. Let's finish this quickly and go have dinner with your dad as soon as possible."

……

Su Yifeng and Chen Luoling stood in an open space, looking at the group of thugs.

"Run! Why aren't you running anymore? Get over here and kneel down!"

Xiong Tian roared at the top of his lungs, and the thugs skillfully formed a circle around him.

Without wasting any words, Su Yifeng pulled out a thick stack of hundred-yuan bills from his black bag, which looked to be at least thirty or forty thousand yuan, and casually tossed them to Xiong Tian.

Clearly, such a large amount of bright red banknotes would be extremely visually striking to these petty thugs.

Xiong Tian was stunned, frantically catching this windfall. He had never handled so much money at once in his entire life!

The scattered banknotes made the thugs' eyes widen, and they all bent down to pick them up.

I saw money! So much money!!

Xiong Tian's expression changed faster than flipping through a book; he immediately plastered on a fawning smile: "Brother, you're so generous! But this little bit of money probably isn't even enough for us brothers to have some tea..."

"Did you bring a knife?" Su Yifeng suddenly asked.

"What? Want to inspect the goods?" Xiong Tian waved his hand. "Brothers, show the God of Wealth what you're made of!"

The thugs rushed to pull out their knives, except for one thug with a pointed face who had nothing in his hands.

"Where's his knife?" Su Yifeng asked, pointing to a shifty-eyed man.

The man was Su Qiu, who jumped up and down, cursing, "Fuck you..."

With a loud "smack," Xiong Tian slapped him to the ground.

"You have no manners! How dare you speak to the God of Wealth like that?!" Xiong Tian cursed as he kicked, his blows extremely heavy.

Once Su Qiu's pleas for mercy subsided, Xiong Tian turned around with a fawning smile: "Is the God of Wealth satisfied now? Look at this money..."

Su Yifeng took out two stacks of banknotes from his bag: "Okay, but we have to catch that rat in the back first."

He pointed to the figure hiding behind the mound.

Xiong Tian grinned from ear to ear, and directed his two henchmen to drag the wailing Liu Zihao over like a dead dog.

"You took my money! People in the underworld have no morals; who's going to hang out with you anymore!"

"When did I take your money, you filthy idiot!"

"Fuck you!" The two thugs started punching and kicking Liu Zihao.

Su Yifeng then tossed the money over.

Xiong Tian rubbed his hands together and laughed, "God of Wealth, are you satisfied now? Look at this price..."

"That's enough." Su Yifeng smiled slightly.

"What's enough?"

Su Yifeng didn't answer, but instead snapped his fingers.

Suddenly, the roar of engines came from afar, and six armored vehicles and five police cars sped over, instantly surrounding the area.

"Don't move! Drop your weapons!"

The SWAT officer's shouts, accompanied by a warning shot, terrified the thugs who were still trying to escape, causing them to immediately kneel down and beg for mercy.

They're just a bunch of street pests. They can bully students, honest people, and ordinary folks, but they've never seen anything like this before.

Dozens of fully armed special police officers filed out, their dark gun barrels pointed at the crowd.

Xiong Tian's eyes were bloodshot and his veins were bulging. He finally realized that he had fallen into a trap.

"I'll kill you!" He lunged at Su Yifeng like a mad dog, knife in hand.

But how could a body weakened by years of drinking and womanizing possibly react as quickly as a special police officer?

A prepared SWAT officer slammed him to the ground with the butt of his rifle and stomped on his knife-wielding hand with his military boot.

"Ah!!! You just wait! When I get out, I'll definitely kill your whole family!!!" Xiong Tian looked up at Su Yifeng and roared like a madman.

Su Yifeng glanced at him indifferently, then turned to Zhao Jianping beside him: "Uncle Zhao, robbing someone at knifepoint in broad daylight, with an amount exceeding 60,000 yuan, plus attempted murder—do you think this kind of social scum can still be out in public?"

Zhao Jianping sneered at the crazed Xiong Tian: "Don't worry, in such heinous cases, the ringleader, if over eighteen, will be executed. Accomplices will face at least three years in prison."

Upon hearing the word "execution," Xiong Tian turned ashen-faced, his composure completely shattered: "No! Please, spare me! I'll do anything for you..."

"Do you think I'm the one who wants you dead?"

Su Yifeng's lips curled up slightly, revealing a warm, spring-like smile: "You were the one who chose this path back then, pulled the trigger, and now the bullet has finally pierced your forehead."

"Well said!" Zhao Jianping clapped his hands in approval. "Heaven's sins may be forgiven, but self-inflicted sins are unforgivable!"

"Uncle Zhao, I'll head out now. Uncle Chen is waiting for us to have dinner."

With the matter concluded, Su Yifeng prepared to take his leave.

As for taking a statement? Wouldn't it be the same to ask a thug?

"Alright, alright, eating is important. Luo Ling was frightened this time, so we need to eat to calm her nerves."

Zhao Jianping smiled and said, "Would you like me to give you a ride?"

"No need, Uncle Zhao. Secretary Sun just messaged me; he's on his way to pick us up," Su Yifeng said. "I'll give my regards to Uncle Chen."

Zhao Jianping beamed with joy upon hearing this, and only after seeing the two off to the car driven by Secretary Sun did he reluctantly wave goodbye.
