Going back to 18, demanding 30,000 yuan in compensation from the school beauty.

Faced with his brother's suspicions, Lin Zhao smiled in a way that didn't seem like that of a good person.

"Yes, it's you!"

Sun Jiajun was even more confused: "What can I do?"

"Simple, just help me arrange to meet her!"

"this one?"

Sun Jiajun looked him up and down, then asked, puzzled, "Why don't you make the appointment yourself?"

Lin Zhao plopped down and put his legs up on the coffee table: "I'd like to ask her out, but she's actually willing to come out! That woman is shrewd. Ever since I asked her for money at the hospital that day, she hasn't even logged onto QQ. Her profile picture has been grayed out for the past few days."

Sun Jiajun then understood.

"So, you want me to find a pretext to lure her out?"

"Hmm, getting it!"

Lin Zhao punched him, as a sign of his brother's highest praise.

Sun Jiajun chuckled, then frowned.

"It's not hard to ask her out; we're classmates... but 30,000 yuan is no small sum. What can you do if she absolutely refuses to give it to you?"

"Don't worry, I never expected her to pay for it anyway," Lin Zhao said with a sinister smile.

"ah?!"

"You just said it yourself, 30,000 yuan is no small sum. How could an 18-year-old high school student possibly come up with that?"

"Then why..."

Sun Jiajun really can't understand this guy anymore.

Lin Zhao's smile remained sinister: "Although we're not counting on her to pay, we still have to go through the proper procedures—politeness first, then force!"

Sun Jiajun was completely confused, but seeing his expression, he knew that the man was determined to do it.

Sun Jiajun already disliked An Meng, and because she almost caused his brother's death, he hated her to the core.

Now that Lin Zhao has decided to fight back, he naturally supports her wholeheartedly.

"Leave this to me, just watch, Mr. Lin!"

……

That very evening, Sun Jiajun brought good news.

Last time, because of Lin Zhao's car accident, the whole class reunion was canceled. He used this as an excuse to contact a few classmates and organized a small gathering. After going around in circles, he finally managed to get An Meng to join as well.

The gathering was scheduled for 11 a.m. the following day at the KFC on Shengli Street.

Lin Zhao gave his brother a thumbs up for his efficiency.

I had a good night's sleep in my "new home".

The next morning, Lin Zhao and Sun Jiajun arrived ahead of schedule.

The students arrived one after another, and they were all surprised to see Lin Zhao, but they didn't think much of it.

Lin Zhao has good grades, a good temper, and is also honest and kind.

His classmates all had a good relationship with him, and they were all very worried about him when they heard about his accident.

Now that everyone saw that he was wearing a bandage on his head and had some abrasions on his face and arms, he looked energetic and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

By 11 o'clock, almost everyone had arrived.

"Anmeng, over here!" Hu Yubo suddenly stood up and shouted excitedly.

Lin Zhao followed the gaze and saw An Meng standing at the top of the stairs on the second floor.

Today she wore a pale yellow floral dress, white canvas shoes and socks, and her long hair was smoothly draped behind her head. She looked gentle, bright and refreshing.

The male students' eyes lit up at the sight.

The two girls couldn't help but pout.

Lin Zhao glanced at her and immediately noticed that An Meng's earrings and necklace were from the same series, clearly indicating that she had dressed up and coordinated them carefully.

He laughed.

It's human nature to love beauty, but for someone who has just almost caused the death of a classmate, to still have the mind to dress up carefully at this moment...

This isn't instinct; it's inhumanity.

Lin Zhao nodded, the last bit of hesitation in his heart disappearing!

An Meng walked over slowly.

She eagerly anticipated the boys' exclamations, but her gaze shifted and met Lin Zhao's ambiguous smile, causing her expression to instantly change.

The fairy froze, quickly realizing what was happening.

—Today's meal is a trap!

But since she had already arrived, he couldn't easily leave, otherwise he would appear even more guilty.

So he had no choice but to bite the bullet and come over, greeting each of his classmates one by one, before finally meeting Lin Zhao's gaze.

"Lin Zhao, you're discharged from the hospital... Congratulations!"

Her eyes were gentle and her voice was soft and sweet.

Hu Yubo, standing to the side, was completely smitten, his eyes filled with jealousy as he looked at Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao raised an eyebrow and smiled, her attitude as amiable as ever: "Thank you, you look beautiful today."

An Meng was stunned for a moment by the praise.

The next moment, her heart, which had been pounding, suddenly relaxed, and she felt that Lin Zhao was still the same honest and timid person she had been before.

Is the hospital making exorbitant demands?

He must have just woken up and was still not fully conscious, which is why he suddenly went crazy.

"……Thanks."

An Meng instantly relaxed, smoothed her hair, and sat down in the seat that Hu Yubo had specially reserved for her.

Hu Yubo almost drooled into the hamburger.

At this moment, squad leader Liu Peng raised his Coke cup and suggested celebrating Lin Zhao's discharge from the hospital.

The students responded enthusiastically, and the atmosphere immediately became cheerful and harmonious.

An Meng seized the opportunity and expressed her concern for Lin Zhao privately, saying that she had been worried sick about her these past few days.

Lin Zhao smiled without saying a word, quietly watching her show off.

Watching the interaction between the two, Hu Yubo suddenly lost his temper and inexplicably challenged, "Since today's dinner is to celebrate Lin Zhao's discharge from the hospital, shouldn't Lin Zhao, as the lucky one who survived, treat us?"

These words immediately shattered the atmosphere that had just been hyped up.

The class monitor was about to smooth things over when Sun Jiajun beat him to it: "Hu Yubo, if you're sick, go see a doctor. Don't be stingy with the money!"

Hu Yubo was so angry that he threw down the fries in his hand.

The two didn't get along back in school, and now it looks like they're about to start fighting again.

Lin Zhao suddenly laughed and said, "Treating a meal is no problem!"

The students were taken aback.

Thinking he had successfully set a trap, Hu Yubo smugly snorted at Sun Jiajun.

Sun Jiajun glared at Lin Zhao.

It means: Bro, are you kidding me? I'm supporting you, and you're sabotaging me?

Lin Zhao ignored him and slowly added, "But I don't have any money right now. How about An Meng pays for my meal today? Just deduct it from the 30,000 yuan you owe me!"

The words had barely left his lips.

The people at the table were completely dumbfounded.

An Meng was watching the show from the sidelines. As the class beauty and school beauty, she especially enjoyed the scene of boys fighting over her.

Upon hearing this, her gentle smile shattered.

"Lin Zhao, what are you talking about..." An Meng said with a stiff smile.

"I'm not kidding!"

Lin Zhao spoke calmly, her eyes fixed on him.

An Meng's smile vanished completely.

"Lin Zhao, are you out of your mind for money?"

As expected, Hu Yubo jumped out and angrily retorted, "Your car accident was because you weren't paying attention while crossing the road, and that's why you were hit by the truck. It has absolutely nothing to do with An Meng. Don't act like a mad dog here, biting anyone you can!"

Sun Jiajun is about to start arguing with Hu Yubo again.

Lin Zhao grabbed him and said with a smile, "Hu Yubo, why are you in such a hurry to step forward? Are you going to pay this 30,000 yuan for An Meng?"

Hu Yubo paused, then said, "I... why should I pay? I'm trying to reason with you!"

Lin Zhao smiled calmly: "Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor! I won't cause you trouble, and you shouldn't meddle in my business. I'm taking this money today; either you pay it for her, or you shut up!"

The tone of the last sentence suddenly became more forceful, and her smiling eyes suddenly turned fierce, as if she had been possessed by a domineering CEO.

The fierce aura made Hu Yubo tremble all over, and he even forgot to refute.

The students sat around the long table, barely daring to breathe, afraid of becoming the next innocent victim.

Seven or eight pairs of eyes turned to look at An Meng.

"Lin Zhao, I know you're angry, but that car accident really was an accident..." An Meng said pitifully.

"It wasn't an accident."

Lin Zhao interrupted her directly, "If I hadn't gone to buy you milk tea, I wouldn't have taken that road, and I wouldn't have had a car accident."

An Meng shook her head, her eyes looking pitiful: "If I had known there would be danger on the way to buy milk tea, I definitely wouldn't have let you go..."

Lin Zhao sneered.

"If you knew there was danger and still sent me, then the situation is completely different—that's murder, and it's not something that can be settled with just 30,000 yuan!"

"..."

An Meng was completely stunned, wondering why Lin Zhao was so unyielding today. Had she really let that truck hit her head?!

Faced with this relentless pressure, even she, who was usually calm, finally lost her temper.

"Lin Zhao, stop messing around! Even if I asked you to buy milk tea, you agreed, didn't you?" Her tone hardened.

"Hmm, so what?"

"So this was a consensual matter; I didn't force you. Why should I pay you money?"

"Even if you beg and plead, I'll still bring you milk tea."

"you……"

An Meng was speechless; it was the first time she had encountered someone even more unreasonable than herself.

"Lin Zhao, you're completely unreasonable right now!" An Meng stood up, furious.

Lin Zhao remained calm: "I'm not trying to reason with you, I just want money! Thirty thousand yuan, not a penny less!"

An Meng trembled with anger: "Then let me tell you, I did nothing wrong, and I'm not going to pay you any money! Go ahead and call the police if you dare. I don't believe that just because I sent you a message asking you to buy me a cup of milk tea, I've committed a crime, and the police will order me to pay you money!"

After saying that, An Meng turned and left.

Hu Yubo quickly chased after him.

The other students looked at each other, not daring to say anything to smooth things over, or even breathe loudly.

"Mr. Lin, what do we do now? Should we really call the police?" Sun Jiajun asked, leaning closer.

Lin Zhao had anticipated this situation and smiled calmly.

"Calling the police? That's too much trouble!"

"So what do you want? This slut is clearly trying to be a scoundrel!"

"Don't worry, I'll only be more shameless than her!"

Lin Zhao raised an eyebrow and smiled, his eyes showing no desire for money, only excitement at punishing evildoers.

It's good to be young; you have plenty of energy to do something bad!

Stimulate!!
