Chapter 92

Chapter 86: The Young Rogue's Tale

If it weren't for Zuo Yuxi, Wen Liang would have been reluctant to deal with An Baoqing, one of the reasons being that such people act unpredictably, are ruthless, and could easily cause major trouble if not handled carefully.

Wen Liang smiled and waved his hand, "It's not that serious. If it's difficult for you, I can have Liu Tian come and say hello."

An Baoqing snorted, "You don't understand Zhao Jianjun. It's not that I underestimate Liu Tian, but dealing with others might work, but with Zhao Jianjun, it could backfire and be counterproductive."

Wen Liang became interested and asked, "Oh, even Chief Liu can't handle him? What's the background of this punk?"

"He has no background, just an orphan who grew up fighting on the streets. He has a group of brothers who grew up with him, all of whom are reckless and will do anything. A couple of years ago, in the East Building Materials Market, he got into a verbal dispute and slashed a building materials store owner seventeen times. Later, one of his subordinates took the blame and was executed on Nan Mountain after two months. Zhao Jianjun hates the police, and if Liu Tian gets involved, it will only make things worse."

Wen Liang now felt the situation was quite tricky. Such a reckless person, with nothing to lose, was like a dog that everyone avoided. "This guy is like a mad dog, biting anyone he can. He has no other skills besides fighting. He causes trouble in the North District, but on a small scale. It's easy to deal with him, but the key is how to catch all his subordinates at once. That's why, although no one in Qingzhou likes him, they don't want to provoke him easily. Zhao Jianjun is stubborn and unpredictable. You never know when you might offend him. So, either don't move, or if you do, finish him off completely. Otherwise, if even one person escapes, you'll have to be on high alert every day."

Wen Liang was extremely frustrated. After this matter is resolved, he must have his sister Tan Xue's fortune told. How did he end up in such life-threatening situations?

"Maybe we should talk to him first? It's not a big deal, just to stop him from harassing a girl. With your reputation, Mr. An, you should be able to handle it, right?"

An Baoqing showed a bitter smile for the first time, "Others are easy to deal with, but Zhao Jianjun is different. They say he has a problem with his head. I can intervene, but his reaction is unpredictable. He might agree to save face, or he might feel humiliated and harass the girl even more..."

Wen Liang also smiled bitterly, "What kind of person is this? Alright, let's put this aside for now and deal with Bai Huan first." As for Tan Xue, to be safe, he should have her quit her job.

The next day, as soon as he arrived at school, Ye Yuting dragged him out of the classroom. Standing by the corridor railing, Wen Liang smiled, "Teacher Ye, you look radiant today, more beautiful than ever. Are you so happy because you have a boyfriend?"

Ye Yuting huffed, "Don't be so smooth-talking! Do you know why I called you?"

"Um, are you asking for my opinion? I think you should focus on your career for now..."

Ye Yuting chuckled, then immediately put on a serious face. If it weren't for the students passing by, she would have grabbed Wen Liang's ear and had a serious talk about focusing on her career.

"Confess, what did you do wrong yesterday?"

Wen Liang widened his eyes, looking innocent enough to make anyone who suspected him feel guilty, "A good boy like me, doing something wrong? Teacher Ye, your question seriously hurts my feelings and my fragile self-esteem..."

Ye Yuting pretended to kick him, and Wen Liang stepped back, smiling, "Teacher Ye, don't worry. I'll handle my relationship with female classmates properly and won't cause you any trouble!"

Ye Yuting sighed, "Wen Liang, I know you're smart. I won't say more. Ji Su is a good student and a girl. You need to think about the consequences of your actions."

"I understand, but Teacher Ye, you're so young and beautiful, yet not as understanding as Teacher Si. Ji Su has been tutoring me, and she even encouraged it."

Watching Wen Liang walk away, Ye Yuting rolled her eyes. She was at a loss with this unique student. She then called Ji Su and others to ask about the situation. After understanding what happened, she walked to the podium before class and said seriously, "This morning, some students reported some matters to me. After investigation, it seems there was a misunderstanding. Some students are willing to sacrifice their free time to help others improve, and this should be praised, not misunderstood. However, I don't approve of gathering to study after school. First, it's too late, and parents and teachers will worry. Second, it's exhausting and affects the next day's classes. So, please use your breaks and lunchtime to make the most of every minute in class..."

Ye Yuting's public statement moved Wen Liang. In 1995, if anything happened between boys and girls, the teacher would face immense pressure, especially after such a statement, which could quickly turn public opinion against her. Ye Yuting couldn't have been unaware of this, yet she chose to trust Wen Liang.

At lunch, Wen Liang was eating his vegetable and tofu when Liu Zhi sat down opposite him, making the table shake.

"Liu Brother, I can almost hear the chair under your butt crying."

Liu Zhi chuckled, and before he could speak, Ren Yi, who was sitting next to him, disappeared with his bowl. Liu Zhi ignored him, grabbed a piece of vegetable from Wen Liang's bowl, and mumbled, "No one's crying, but I want to hear Bai Huan cry."

Wen Liang didn't respond, took a few more bites, and then asked, "What did you say about Tan Yu? Is he close to a girl named Bei Mi?"

"Not just close, he's like her little lackey, always following her around like a fool. He hasn't even touched her yet. A few days ago, he got into a fight over Bei Mi. If I hadn't told my brothers to help, your friend would have been beaten to a pulp. Do you know what Bei Mi's nickname is? Public Toilet! She was used up in junior high, but your friend still sees her as a treasure. Ha!"

Bei Mi, a name he had only heard twice in this life: once in the toilet when Tan Yu was surrounded by Liu Zhi's group, and once on the playground when Liu Zhi mentioned her. Wen Liang hadn't paid much attention before, but hearing it again, he felt the name was familiar, as if hidden in a memory from his past life, but he couldn't quite recall it.

Wen Liang smiled, "You're so vulgar. Can love be measured by the body? If that were the case, how many famous courtesans in ancient dramas would be in tears?"

"Fine, I'm vulgar! But if you don't do something, following Bei Mi's habits, I'm afraid Tan Yu will be discarded once she's done with him. When that happens, I hope your non-vulgar friend has the mental strength to handle it. Otherwise... hehe!"

A flash of memory came to Wen Liang, and he finally remembered where he had heard the name. In his past life, he met Tan Yu shortly after the start of their sophomore year. On the way home from school, he heard a fight in a small alley. Wen Liang, timid and afraid of trouble, didn't want to get involved, but the sight of Tan Yu being stepped on reminded him of his own past. In that moment, Wen Liang was moved and gathered the courage to run to a nearby store to get some adults to stop the fight. He remembered the girl who was with the leader of the group, her name was Bei Mi...

At that time, Tan Yu was still grieving over his sister's death, and then he was stabbed in the heart by a girl he had cared for nearly a year. His pride, dignity, confidence, and future were all shattered in one day. If not for meeting the equally unlucky Wen Liang, who knows what Tan Yu would have become under such a blow.

The luckiest thing in life is to find the right person at a critical moment and go through the tough times together without truly sinking.

After that day, the two quickly became close. Wen Liang never asked about the girl, and Tan Yu never mentioned her again, so Wen Liang found the name Bei Mi both familiar and strange.

After lunch, Wen Liang went directly to the entrance of Class 10 and waited for a while. Finally, he saw Tan Yu and a girl laughing and walking over from the shaded path. Seeing Wen Liang, Tan Yu ran over and said happily, "Looking for me?"

Wen Liang nodded and smiled, "Who's this classmate? You didn't introduce me?"

"She's Bei Mi! Bei Mi, this is my friend, Wen Liang from Class 3. You must have heard of him."

Wen Liang's first impression of Bei Mi was that she was alluring.

Though not exceptionally beautiful, she was far from unattractive compared to Xu Yao and others. She fit the general standard of beauty for this era. Her skin was smooth and fair, her figure tall and curvy, her waist slim, and her hips full and mature, unlike the innocence of a young girl. Her chest was so high that Wen Liang suspected she might be wearing a push-up bra. Her large, watery eyes gave a glance that made one's heart itch, carrying a mature woman's charm.

It's easy to imagine how such a girl would stand out in high school. Tan Yu, who had always liked mature women, being attracted to her was understandable.

Bei Mi looked at Wen Liang curiously and said, "You're the one who played basketball with Xu Yao and Ning Xiaoning and took Ji Su away?"
