Chapter 66

At the entrance of the Experimental Primary School, He Ping and Dong Dapeng gradually approached the group of junior high school students. The other students around them saw this scene and quickly moved away, clearly not wanting to get involved. However, some troublemakers actively gathered around, eager to see the commotion. The Monkey and his gang, standing at the school gate, clearly saw He Ping and Dong Dapeng, their cash cows, approaching. They all put on a fake, sinister smile, hands in their pockets, and walked up in what they thought was a cool manner.

"Hey! Two big shots, school's out?" In Monkey's eyes, He Ping and Dong Dapeng were obviously the kind of cowards who were always scared and had plenty of money, always ready to hand it over and never dare to tell their parents or teachers. So, they naturally didn't show any good attitude. First, they mocked, and then boldly stated their demands: "Bro, I'm a bit short on cash lately. Hand over everything you've got."

He Ping almost burst out laughing at Monkey's words. This line, learned from some movie or TV show, sounded incredibly ridiculous coming from them. In his previous life, he was too scared to notice the humor. Now, He Ping was no longer afraid of these small fry. He ignored Monkey's words and continued walking forward until he was right in front of Monkey. Then he said:

"You damn monkey, still acting tough in front of me? Let me tell you, I've given you so much money and so many things. From today on, you better start paying me back, or I'll make you regret it!"

...

After He Ping said this, the entire scene fell silent. Monkey and his gang stared at He Ping with wide eyes, completely shocked that the usually timid and weak He Ping would say such a bold thing, and even call him a "damn monkey." Normally, he would call him "Monkey Brother," right? And now he was asking for money back? Was He Ping joking? This joke wasn't funny at all. Even Dong Dapeng, standing beside him, was stunned, unable to understand why He Ping would provoke Monkey.

"Ha ha ha ha ha!" After a few seconds, Monkey burst into laughter, a cruel edge to his voice: "Did you hear that? He's asking for his money back, asking for his money back? Ha ha ha ha, that's hilarious. When has Monkey Brother ever paid back money?"

"Ha ha ha ha!" Next to Monkey, a follower who was a bit fatter than Dong Dapeng, with a face full of acne, known as "Toad," laughed and said: "Monkey... Monkey Brother, this... this kid is probably... probably scared out of his wits, or... or he's been... been pushed too far, coming... coming here to... to get beaten up!"

At this moment, Monkey took another step forward, now less than a meter away from He Ping. He extended his hand and said: "Damn monkey? You dare call me a damn monkey? F**k, just because Monkey Brother isn't showing his strength, you think I'm a performer? I'll show you who's tough, calling me a damn monkey."

As he spoke, Monkey tried to grab He Ping's collar, but He Ping took a light step back and slapped Monkey's hand away with a loud slap. He then said: "Damn monkey, don't push your luck. Stop getting handsy with me. I'll say it again, give me back all the money you owe me. If you don't have it, then get lost like a little calf, don't be a fly buzzing around. Your laugh is really ugly."

Monkey's face darkened. He actually dared to resist? Truly, he was asking for trouble! But what did He Ping mean by "get lost like a little calf"? At this moment, Toad suddenly shouted: "Ah! Monkey... Monkey Brother! I... I get it, he... he's cursing... cursing you, a... a calf is a... a young bull, and... and 'get lost' means... means 'get lost like a young bull.' He... he means to... to tell us to... to get lost."

"Wow! Not bad, you even know to tell this damn monkey to get lost?" He Ping teased.

"That's right, I... I'm one of the... the top ten in... in the class," Toad said proudly, but he quickly realized he might have been tricked by He Ping. He Ping had said he knew to tell the "damn monkey" to get lost, which made it sound like Toad was cursing Monkey. Realizing this, Toad immediately turned to look at Monkey, who was glaring at him fiercely. Scared, Toad lowered his head and dared not speak again.

Seeing Toad fall silent, Monkey turned back to He Ping. His pride was hurt. He Ping had humiliated him multiple times; how could he bear it? So, he extended his hand again. Initially, he just wanted to grab He Ping's collar to scare him, but this time, his right hand was clenched into a fist, clearly losing patience and ready to attack.

The students watching the scene held their breath. Fighting was a distant concept for the students of the Experimental Primary School. If it happened to them, they would run as far as possible. However, the human nature to enjoy a spectacle was evident in these students. Not only did few run away, but more gathered, even feeling a bit excited.

Monkey's punch, in He Ping's eyes, was both slow and weak. Facing this attack aimed at his face, He Ping simply extended his left hand and grabbed Monkey's fist. Monkey was clearly surprised that this two-year-younger primary school student could block his attack. Taking advantage of this moment, He Ping's right hand clenched into a fist and struck Monkey's stomach directly. Monkey was completely unprepared for this punch, as he never believed He Ping would dare to counterattack.

Peng! "Ugh!"

Monkey bent over, clutching his stomach, tears streaming down his face from the unbearable pain. The acid from his stomach began to rise, burning his throat. Before he could react, He Ping's right hand slapped Monkey's left cheek.

Slap!

This slap shocked everyone. Slapping someone's face was a great humiliation, and no one could bear it. Monkey was no exception, but before he could retaliate, Slap! Another slap, still from He Ping's right hand, still on Monkey's left cheek. Monkey went mad, waving his hands and trying to charge forward, but He Ping just moved slightly, dodging all the attacks. Then, Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! He Ping's right hand continuously slapped Monkey's left cheek.

Soon, the onlookers saw a comical scene. Monkey's right cheek was untouched, looking normal, but his left cheek, which had been slapped repeatedly, was red and swollen, much higher than his right cheek, completely asymmetrical.

"Ah! He Ping! You bastard!" Monkey was truly enraged. Being slapped in front of so many people and having one side of his face swollen made it impossible for him to save face. In a fit of rage, Monkey charged forward and shouted to Toad and the others behind him: "All of you, attack! I'm going to beat He Ping so badly his own mother won't recognize him!"
