Romance of Dragons and Snakes Chapter 16

Each one of the strokes twisted and turned with so much ink it penetrated the back of the paper so that even a calligraphy illiterate person like Wang Chao could realize just how powerful the meaning was supposed to be.

But there was no ending. After the Preface to the Poems Collected at the Orchid Pavilion, there had only been the words “Future readers”, and then another line, “If educated could please“. There was nothing else written as if waiting for someone else to pick it up.

After finishing flipping through the book, Wang Chao cleaned up the book for later studying. Laying back on the bed, he fell asleep until the morning of the next day. Collecting the keys and house card, he took one last meaningful look at the house before returning home.

While Tang Zichen had gifted the house to him, he had no desire to live in the house since he had no idea just how much the monthly house payments would be like. It was best to leave now before he could be torn apart by the management. He wouldn’t even touch the cars inside the garage and would naturally let it remain inside.

Plus, all of these things were left behind by Tang Zichen. No matter what, Wang Chao wanted to preserve it for her.

In a flash, the summer break had came to an end. School resumed with Wang Chao entering his third year of high school with college exams looming almost overhead, causing the atmosphere within the school to grow tense. However, Wang Chao hadn’t put that on his mind at all. Up to now, there were only two things that interested him.

The first was to have a contest with the class monitor Cao Jingjing’s father, Offier Cao for revenge. The second was how to earn money, otherwise, he would have no money to preserve Tang Zichen’s house as well as for his own living expenses. His house was still in need of money as well.

Regarding his thoughts on making money, Wang Chao had poured a lot of thought into it. However, he could not find a single suitable way since learning martial arts seemed as if it was only good for robbing people with.

But Wang Chao had no desire to rob people. The first time when he had beaten those gangsters was because of revenge, taking the money was merely another perk in the moment of crisis.

“I should first take revenge on officer Cao first.” After many days, Wang Chao had decided on taking care of one problem first

That night after finishing school, Wang Chao silently followed behind Cao Jingjing. He was prepared to find Cao Jingjing’s house and then block officer Cao’s path when the time was right for a match.

The streets were well lit at night, but the weather was quite hot still. Nonetheless, Wang Chao persisted in following Cao Jingjing from behind while also dodging her detection.

After turning around several streets, just as Cao Jingjing was about to enter an alley, a van suddenly came in from an intersection and stopped right in front of her in an instant. Three men came out: one shut her mouth, another grabbed at her arms, and the third at her legs.

Before she could even yell, Cao Jingjing was snatched away.

“A kidnapping?” Wang Chao couldn’t believe his eyes.
