Chapter 73: Scheme

The car was filled with a pleasant fragrance. // //

Beside him sat the finely featured Ding Lingling. She glanced at the dormitory building where the crowd had dispersed: "I'm not so much concerned about Tu Honggang, but this has given Zhao Heng another chance to shine. Once it reaches Ziyan's ears, she'll only admire Zhao Heng even more. You don't know, Ziyan has already fallen for him."

Her tone was a mix of frustration and resentment: "You need to take the initiative."

"Am I not already taking the initiative?"

Young Master Ding maintained his usual politeness, crossing his arms in front of his chest: "I had you incite Tu Honggang to assault Zhao Heng to not only verify the concealed Huahai Bar incident but also to draw Zhao Heng into my trap. As expected, Zhao Heng injured those sports students."

Ding Lingling suddenly became interested: "How so?"

"You need to do two things!"

Young Master Ding didn't explain much to Ding Lingling but directly laid out the next plan: "Go to Tu Honggang and report today's fight to the school. Exaggerate the injuries a bit, and use connections to get some hospital reports for the school. Then, blow this up on the Huada University forum."

Ding Lingling's eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands: "Right, this way, the school will have to take this seriously. They might even expel Zhao Heng to calm public opinion. Once he's out of Huada, Ziyan will never see him again. Brother, I'll go to Tu Honggang right away."

"Hold on, that's just the first step."

Young Master Ding grabbed his sister's arm, his tone playful: "Reporting to the school is just the beginning. We need to add some more spice. When you have Tu Honggang report to the school, also have him go to his uncle, the deputy director, and file a formal police report, accusing Zhao Heng of assault with a weapon and intentional injury."

Ding Lingling's eyes shone even brighter: "Right, it's a criminal offense."

A cruel smile crossed her face, and she bit her lip: "A two-pronged attack, enough to give Zhao Heng a hard time." But she quickly thought of something: "Brother, don't forget, the Du family has smoothed over Zhao Heng's conflicts, and everyone knows this. No one will dare to touch Zhao Heng unless absolutely necessary."

"The Du family smoothed over the conflict with the Qing Gang, but they didn't guarantee Zhao Heng's safety for life."

Young Master Ding had clearly thought about this: "Boss Du is a fair person."

Ding Lingling nodded lightly but frowned: "That's true, but the police might still have reservations."

Young Master Ding exhaled a long breath, his gaze falling on the distant dormitory building: "Although the bar incident was suppressed by the Qing Gang for the sake of face, Zhao Siqing was sent away for a month of study through connections, preventing her from exposing the news or catching Zhao Heng on the spot, to avoid disrupting the Qing Gang's plans."

Young Master Ding smiled: "But now that the Qing Gang has been suppressed by the Du family and has had to drink the peace wine, they can no longer openly act against Zhao Heng. I believe the Qing Gang won't mind Zhao Siqing's return. Your sister Qingqing considers Zhao Heng a demon. Once she takes over the Huada University fight, she will surely go after Zhao Heng relentlessly."

Ding Lingling suddenly understood: "You want Sister Qingqing to deal with Zhao Heng?"

"Exactly!"

Young Master Ding laughed, nodding: "Zhao Siqing has been in seclusion for so many days and isn't very aware of the outside world, but the bar's tragic scene is imprinted in her mind. Now, hearing that Zhao Heng caused trouble at school, she will surely be furious. Moreover, Zhao Siqing won't have too many reservations about the Du family."

"After all, Madam Du likes her a lot."

Ding Lingling's smile grew wider: "Right, Madam Du treats her like a daughter, and the deputy captain's position wouldn't be possible without Madam Du's help! Regardless of whether Boss Du truly appreciates Zhao Heng or wants to protect him, if Zhao Siqing deals with Zhao Heng, he won't be angry, at most he'll just smile helplessly."

"Correct."

A smile crossed Young Master Ding's face, and he replied meaningfully: "Once Zhao Heng is taken to the police station by Zhao Siqing, one night will be enough! Not only will the school decide to expel this troublemaker, but there are many ways to deal with Zhao Heng in prison. With the Qing Gang's power, there are countless ways to torment Zhao Heng."

Ding Lingling laughed: "I'll do it right away!"

Young Master Ding's fingers twitched, and he added:

"Use the Ding family's influence to bring Zhao Siqing back and make her grateful to us."

Ding Lingling nodded: "Don't worry, I'll do it beautifully."

At that moment, she admired her brother immensely, feeling that he was already showing a fatherly demeanor.

While the two were plotting, Zhao Heng was being pulled to a good seat by Du Ziyang's wave. This chemistry elective was purely for Zhao Heng's credits, and Qiao Yuncai and Song Qingguan, who followed Zhao Heng's lead, also chose this course. Zhao Heng hadn't expected that Du Ziyang would also be in this class.

Amid the winks and nods of Qiao Yuncai and the envy of many, Zhao Heng sat down in the seat Du Ziyang had reserved, feeling somewhat helpless. He had to give her some face. As soon as he leaned back in his chair, Du Ziyang pushed a thermos over, her voice gentle: "Did you have breakfast? I have a pack of cookies here."

She pointed to the thermos: "I had the maid prepare some ginseng juice."

"Already had it!"

Zhao Heng took the thermos she offered, smiling lightly: "Worried about my hangover?"

"You drank so much strong liquor, you should drink some juice to replenish yourself."

A worried smile appeared on Du Ziyang's face, still shaken by the ten pounds of alcohol from yesterday. Zhao Heng felt a wave of gratitude. This girl was truly thoughtful. He could see that Du Ziyang liked him, and he also had feelings for the girls around him. However, thinking of Du Tianxiong's inscrutable appearance made him headache.

No matter how outstanding and strong he was, he was still a powerless and resourceless person.

As Zhao Heng unscrewed the thermos and sipped the ginseng juice, Du Ziyang suddenly asked in a low voice: "When did you return to school?"

Zhao Heng didn't think much and didn't notice the tension in the girl's eyes: "I slept in the first building and came back this morning in Sister Ye's car."

"You spent the night there?"

Du Ziyang blurted out three words that made her blush, then added softly:

"Well, Ye Shishi is so beautiful and alluring, any man would like her."

Zhao Heng was slightly taken aback. He wasn't a dull person and could hear the jealousy in her tone. He scratched his head and said: "She's quite beautiful, otherwise she wouldn't be called the 'beauty who can topple a nation.' But compared to you, she lacks a bit of purity. I was just too tired last night and slept."

Hearing Zhao Heng's words, Du Ziyang's face brightened, and she sat up straight, smiling: "I believe you! Drink up, and get ready for class."

The classroom was noisy and chaotic, with people doing all sorts of things. It was five minutes before class, and the chemistry teacher stood at the podium, ignoring the chaos, flipping through his lesson plan. As Zhao Heng finished his ginseng juice, the chemistry teacher slapped the desk: "Quiet! Class is starting!"

Everyone was startled and obediently listened to the lecture.

As the chemistry teacher lectured and Zhao Heng took notes diligently, a text message came in. Zhao Heng pulled out his phone and glanced at it, muttering unconsciously: "Ye Shishi?" He then opened the message to see Ye Shishi's invitation. She had scheduled a meeting with a lawyer to discuss the Song family's assets and asked him to meet at the first building.

"Ye Shishi?"

Du Ziyang caught the three words, blinking her beautiful eyes: "What does she want with you?"

Zhao Heng didn't know how to explain, so he could only smile bitterly: "She's worried about my safety and asked if I'm back at school."

"Zhao Heng, you should avoid Ye Shishi in the future."

Du Ziyang's originally bright smile dimmed slightly, seemingly very sensitive to the name "Ye Shishi." She tugged at Zhao Heng's sleeve: "My dad, Ye Shishi is not a simple woman. She's the type who can charm anyone to death. Don't see her unless it's necessary. I don't want you to be deceived by her."

"This..."

A look of difficulty crossed Zhao Heng's face. It wasn't that he didn't want to agree with Du Ziyang, but the matter with Song Qingguan and their mutual interests meant that he and Ye Shishi would have many more interactions in the future. He wanted to make Du Ziyang happy but didn't want to lie to this girl: "Don't worry, I'll try not to see her unless it's necessary."

Du Ziyang could hear the meaning in Zhao Heng's words and pouted: "Do you like her?"

"Cough! Cough!"

Zhao Heng couldn't help but cough: "What are you talking about?"

Not far away, Young Master Ding held an unlit cigarette, his fingers tightening and crushing the tobacco. Over the past month, his authority and composure had been severely challenged. Every time he thought of Zhao Heng with Du Ziyang, his heart felt like it was being stabbed. He wished he could stab Zhao Heng on the spot.

Unfortunately, he knew Zhao Heng's skills, and he might not be a match for him. But Young Master Ding believed the pain would soon pass. Once Tu Honggang reported Zhao Heng to the school and Zhao Siqing took him to the police station for investigation, Zhao Heng wouldn't stand a chance, even if he had ten lives. Moreover, he heard that Du Tianxiong would be traveling to Beijing the next day.

This was the best time for revenge.

At the same time, his phone rang. He put on his earpiece and heard a voice:

"Master Ding, the target is locked, the Qing Gang leader, Zhou Qixuan."

Young Master Ding spoke calmly:

"Don't kill him, and don't let me see him again."
