Chapter 6

After watching for a while, Wang Gang gave me a dirty look. I looked at him indifferently, though I was afraid he might find someone to beat me up. But now I was in such a sorry state, with no money and no one to turn to, and I couldn't count on my good-for-nothing second uncle.

Wang Gang stormed into the classroom, and Liu Benqiang flipped me the middle finger. I ignored him; if that scrawny monkey dared to cause trouble, I would punch him right away.

Seventeen Sister pulled me aside, and I pretended to be calm as I looked at her, though I was terrified inside. I had already beaten Xiao Huangmao, and what had happened couldn't be changed. I could only hope that my second uncle had already taken care of Xiao Huangmao last night.

"About what happened last night... thank you."

I was a bit taken aback by her words, but I immediately thought of her pale, smooth body and realized she must have been tricked into the internet cafe by Xiao Huangmao. If she had gone willingly, why would she have shed tears?

"Seventeen Sister, you're too polite. It's nothing," I said politely, feeling a strange sense of satisfaction, something I had never felt before. Just yesterday, she had been furious and wanted to beat me up. This sudden change made me feel a bit dizzy.

"From now on, we're friends. I hope you can keep what happened last night a secret." Seventeen Sister bit her lip, looking very hesitant. I immediately nodded to show that I understood.

Since I was young, I knew that a woman's most important things were her reputation and purity. These ideas were instilled in me by my good-for-nothing second uncle, but now I thought they made sense. Not everything he said was nonsense.

Suddenly, the bell rang. I was about to enter the classroom when Seventeen Sister suddenly pulled me, and she even held my hand, which felt soft...

"By the way, Xiong Sanming, who were those people in the BMW last night?"

I perked up at her words. This was something to be proud of. If the whole school knew I had a second uncle who drove a BMW, and even some tattooed big brothers, it would be great!

"Ha, that's my real second uncle. He's always been good to me and never let anyone bully me!" I said proudly, but Seventeen Sister's next words left me speechless.

"But last night, he told Brother Fei that you had to pay him a thousand yuan for medical expenses within three days. If you don't pay, he'll let Brother Fei and his gang come after you..."

At that moment, my heart turned cold and fragile. I wouldn't believe anyone else, but my good-for-nothing second uncle was definitely capable of such a thing!

I suddenly remembered the text message he sent me last night. Only then did I realize that my second uncle, the bastard, was determined to ruin me!

Just then, the bell rang again. As Seventeen Sister left, she said, "Actually, a thousand yuan isn't much. If you need help, just find me. I'm in Class 1."

I nodded, but my mind was blank. I didn't know what I had done to offend my second uncle or what he was up to. Could it be that my father had offended him?

If there were no grudges, why would an uncle try to ruin his own nephew? No, I had to call home later to find out. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to rest easy.

I entered the classroom and walked to the last row. My mind exploded when I saw my books on the floor, and my desk and chair were drenched in water. My anger surged to the top of my head!

I looked at the wet books on the floor, and everyone looked at me with pity, but no one said a word. Even the class monitor, Liu Xiaomeng, didn't say anything. Wang Gang looked relaxed, crossing his legs. I knew it was definitely this bastard!

"Wang Gang, did you mess with my books?" I clenched my fists and gritted my teeth, wanting to punch his face right now, but I was trying to hold back.

My second uncle had told me that impulsiveness was the devil. I shouldn't jump to conclusions without understanding the situation. No matter how angry I was, I couldn't act rashly. I had to use my head!

"Go to hell! I don't know anything," Wang Gang rolled his eyes and cursed. The more he acted like this, the more I knew it was him. If he weren't guilty, why would he be so angry?

Besides Wang Gang, who else in Class 6 would dare to do this? Even if he didn't do it himself, he must have ordered someone else to do it!

I was about to ask again when the English teacher walked in. She was in her twenties, a recent college graduate. She immediately walked to the back and asked, "What happened?"

"Who's the bastard who did this to my books?" I spoke sarcastically, and from the looks on everyone's faces, I knew it was Wang Gang, the bastard!

"Xiong Sanming, you f***ing bastard, who are you cursing?" Wang Gang stood up and pointed at me, completely ignoring the English teacher.

"I'll curse whoever did this. How can you do something and not admit it? Bastard!" I cursed fiercely, and the English teacher was stunned.

The English teacher was young and gentle. Normally, I wouldn't curse in front of her, but I couldn't hold back now!

Wang Gang raised his hand to slap me, but I punched him in the nose before he could. He fell onto the trash can, and the anger inside me couldn't be suppressed any longer!

Without a word, I started kicking him, cursing as I kicked, just like I did to Xiao Huangmao. I felt my blood boiling, and there was an indescribable sense of relief!

The classroom was in chaos, and the English teacher ran out. Suddenly, someone hugged me from behind. It was Liu Benqiang. He looked like he was trying to break up the fight, but he was clearly favoring Wang Gang!

"Close the door and beat him to death!" Wang Gang struggled to his feet and lunged at me.

In an instant, we were rolling on the floor, fighting fiercely. I bit my teeth and fought him with all my might, taking several hits to my face. I had only one thought: I could beat Xiao Huangmao, so who was this guy?

I had never fought like this before, but I wasn't afraid at all. I couldn't believe how much I had changed!

As we fought, several people pinned me to the ground, and a one-on-one fight turned into a group beating. Everyone in the class helped Wang Gang, and several people ganged up on me.

Especially Liu Benqiang, the scrawny monkey, who held my hair tightly and slapped my head repeatedly. My scalp burned, and I wanted to fight back but couldn't stand up. I struggled for a long time, feeling extremely frustrated!

"F*** you!" I was really angry and reached out to claw Liu Benqiang's eyes. I didn't care who I clawed, just clawing anyone's eyes.

The people holding me let go, and I stood up. Without thinking, I lunged at Liu Benqiang, grabbing a chair and smashing it on his head. I was really seeing red, using whatever I could get my hands on to hit him hard.

A shrill scream, like nails on a chalkboard, filled the room. Liu Benqiang clutched his head and cried, blood gushing from a wound. The sight of the blood made me come to my senses!

Just then, the classroom door was kicked open, and five or six teachers appeared. Everyone was stunned, but I remembered what my second uncle had said: a man either doesn't fight, or he fights to the death, leaving no room for his opponent to fight back!

Without thinking, I lunged at Wang Gang, but someone grabbed my arm. In a fit of rage, I headbutted him, hitting Wang Gang's face hard!

He clutched his face and screamed in pain, and I was grabbed by two burly male teachers. Behind them was the old witch, our homeroom teacher...

At that moment, I felt like I was about to die. My head was about to explode, and blood was pouring from my nose. I was covered in blood, not sure if it was mine or someone else's.

Even as I was taken out of the classroom, I had no regrets. Although I was in excruciating pain, I felt like a man, and all the classmates looked at me differently, which made me feel strangely excited!

Soon, Liu Benqiang and Wang Gang were taken to the hospital, and I stood in the office facing seven or eight teachers, including the principal and the vice-principal, whom I had met on the first day of school.

The balding vice-principal kept talking to me, but my head was spinning, and my ears were ringing. I couldn't hear what he or the other teachers were saying, and my legs felt weak.

Everything in front of me became blurry, and all I could see was the vice-principal's bald head. I was about to fall over, but then I heard something that made me furious!

"Call his parents to the school, tell them about his assault, and have them pay for medical expenses and the damage to the desks and chairs, then expel him."

"Why? Why should I pay? Why should I be expelled? I don't accept it!" I had always been honest, but I believed in fairness and reason.

Not only had my books been thrown on the floor and I been beaten by a group, but if I hadn't fought back, I would be the one in the hospital now!

"Shut up!" I was suddenly punched in the chest and fell to the ground, feeling like my body was falling apart. I couldn't muster any strength. I saw that the person who hit me was the vice-principal.

"You still have a reason after assaulting someone? If you don't pay, we'll call the police and have you expelled! I've never seen a student like you in all my years!"

"I've never seen a teacher like you either!" I retorted, but he glared at me and slapped me twice.

These slaps made me feel incredibly wronged, and I almost cried, but I bit my lip and held back the tears. I wouldn't let them fall!

"Are you going to call your parents?" The vice-principal grabbed my collar and demanded, openly hitting and cursing students, but none of the other teachers said a word!
