7 min read1,774 words

In Liang Tao and Li Yu's minds, although Tang Chong was ranked 'second' in the dormitory due to his young age, they all naturally considered him the 'big brother' of the dorm. Whether it was his broad-mindedness, sense of responsibility, eloquence, or ability, he was much more mature and steady than them.

Naturally, they also got used to centering around him, surrounding him very consciously.

If it were before, when Hua Ming shouted 'I'm under his protection,' they wouldn't have found it strange at all.

After all, the members of Dorm 307 were under Tang Chong's protection. Because of Tang Chong's reputation for 'fighting,' they, his roommates, also felt honored. No matter where they went, people would look at them with respect.

Tang Chong was a star at the school, and they were the 'family' of the star.

However, the events of tonight made them clearly realize that Hua Ming's identity was not simple.

The guy who drove an Audi A8 with a red military license plate was also acquainted with him, and even had to take his attitude seriously. Liang Tao's proud identity seemed insignificant in comparison.

Hua Ming, who now had this complex identity, still shouted 'I'm under his protection,' which was both laughable and touching. No matter how his identity changed, he was still a brother.

Although Liang Tao was close to Hua Ming, they only interacted on the surface, and he had never truly understood him.

Because Hua Ming always had a playful smile on his face, and would occasionally act in a despicable manner, making people want to kick him hard.

But his performance tonight made people want to cry.

"Hua Ming, are you crazy?" Wei Feng shouted in anger. "Do you know what you're doing?"

He wasn't upset about the car, but about Hua Ming's attitude.

In his heart, he and Hua Ming were the same kind of people, and should have been brothers.

How could he stand on Tang Chong's side? How could he smash the car with a brick? What for?

"I know," Hua Ming said seriously. "I've never been as clear-headed as I am today. I know what I'm doing."

"You're foolish," Wei Feng wanted to scold him more, but after making eye contact with Hua Ming, he knew that no matter what he said, Hua Ming wouldn't listen.

"Please apologize to Uncle Wei for me," Hua Ming said with a big smile, feeling guilty.

"You don't need to apologize to my dad. You should think about how to explain this to your family," Wei Feng said with a cold laugh.

More and more students gathered around, and the school teachers and security guards also rushed over.

"What are you all doing? What are you all doing?" an old professor with white hair shouted. "Are you still students? Do you have any sense of being students? Do you like fighting so much? Why did you come to Nan Da? This is a place for you to learn knowledge, not to fight."

The head of the security department, Zheng Chengfeng, received a report from a student and thought it was just a few students playing around. But when he arrived at the scene with his people, he found not only a large crowd of students but also a damaged Audi car, realizing the incident was more serious.

When Zheng Chengfeng saw the familiar faces of Tang Chong and Hua Ming, his head throbbed even more, and he shouted, "Why is it you again? Why is it you again? Every fight involves you?"

The matter with Teacher Zhang had just been resolved, although in a mysterious way. But seeing Tang Chong and Hua Ming fighting again made him very angry.

In his heart, Tang Chong and Hua Ming had become synonymous with bad students.

"Teacher, we weren't fighting, we were being attacked," Liang Tao shouted. He pointed at the onlookers and said, "Don't believe me? Ask them. They can all testify."

The crowd immediately took a big step back.

They liked watching the spectacle, but they didn't like being the spectacle.

Standing up for justice and taking action only happened in novels and movies.

"Whether you were fighting or not, I'll find out. You can't deny it. Do you think I'll believe whatever you say?" Zheng Chengfeng naturally didn't believe Liang Tao's lies. "You, you, and all of you, come with me to the security department."

He pointed at a large circle, including Tang Chong, You Mu, Hua Ming, Liang Tao, Li Yu, and everyone else in the circle.

With the school's involvement, You Mu couldn't be too extreme.

He pointed at Tang Chong and said, "What I said will always be valid."

Meaning, one day, he would take one of your legs.

He then pointed at Hua Ming and turned to leave.

"Hey, hey, stop right there," Zheng Chengfeng rushed forward to intercept You Mu.

This guy was too arrogant. He had just pointed at him and told him to go to the security department for an investigation, but he completely ignored him.

Just as he grabbed You Mu's sleeve, You Mu took a step back, falling into his arms. Then he used force, and Zheng Chengfeng's body flew into the air.

Tang Chong saw clearly that You Mu had performed a beautiful shoulder throw, sending Zheng Chengfeng flying.

Thud.

Zheng Chengfeng hit the ground and didn't move.

You Mu didn't even look at him, limping past him.

With You Mu gone, Wei Feng had no reason to stay.

He didn't even say goodbye to Hua Ming, got into the Audi, started the engine, and turned around.

The security guards wanted to stop the car, but seeing the license plate, they all wisely moved out of the way.

Who would dare to stop such a car?

Tang Chong's phone rang. The caller ID showed the name of Dean Jiao Yuheng.

Tang Chong pressed the answer button, and Jiao Yuheng said only one sentence: "Come to my office immediately."

Tang Chong smiled. Dean Jiao Yuheng already knew what had happened today.

Being a student of the dean had many benefits, but the flaws in one's character would also be magnified.

It seemed that when Dean Jiao first took him in, he never expected to have such a troublemaker.

He walked up to Hua Ming and asked, "Are you okay?"

"What could happen to me?" Hua Ming said casually. He brushed off the footprints on his clothes and said, "That cripple's strength is too weak. It's like scratching an itch for me."

"Good, that's a relief," Tang Chong said, relieved. He had seen Hua Ming being kicked down by You Mu and didn't expect that the unassuming cripple would have such impressive skills.

He was probably not inferior to Wei Feng, who had just fought him. He would have to be more careful in the future.

Liang Tao and Li Yu also ran over. Liang Tao looked at the bruise on Tang Chong's forehead and said, "Did you fight with that guy?"

"Yeah, a couple of moves," Tang Chong said lightly. He didn't want to recount the battle. For many people, it might be an honor, but if not necessary, he really didn't want to throw punches.

Of course, saying such things at this moment was too pretentious, like a famous star saying the most important thing to him was a peaceful life, or a rich person saying they didn't like money.

"Your head is bruised," Liang Tao pointed at Tang Chong's forehead and said, "Should we go to the hospital?"

"No need. It's nothing serious. I'll apply some hot water when we get back," Tang Chong said with a smile. When he fought with the boss, the boss's moves were much more ruthless than Wei Feng's. Tang Chong knew how to protect himself and how to take care of himself.

Su Shan walked over, looked up at Tang Chong's forehead, and asked, "Should we go to the hospital?"

"No need. It's nothing serious," Tang Chong said.

Su Shan nodded and said, "Do you know his identity?"

"No," Tang Chong shook his head.

"You should have guessed some things," Su Shan said. "Wasn't it too impulsive?"

"Too impulsive?" Tang Chong laughed. "I read a news article a while ago. There was a man who was very honest and weak. He had a friend who was the local security captain. This friend would often invite him for drinks, and if he refused, he would be beaten. Later, this friend lusted after his wife, threatened him to leave, and then raped his wife after closing the roller shutter. He was very angry and cried, but he did nothing."

Tang Chong's smile was a bit sad, but mostly disdainful.

"His wife went insane, both mentally and physically. Because their shop had a camera, the camera recorded everything. The video leaked, and the scandal was exposed."

"Wasn't his friend hateful? Yes, he was. Stealing someone's wife, he was a heinous criminal. But the weak husband was ten thousand times more hateful. A man who can't protect his own woman, what's the point of living? In this world, there is no greater sin than weakness."

Tang Chong adjusted his glasses, squinted, and smiled, saying, "Because I was close to you, he told me to get lost. If he ever lusts after my wife, should I step aside again?"

"Is that why you retaliated so fiercely?" Su Shan asked. She had also seen this news and felt the same righteous indignation, unable to imagine how such a despicable man could exist. She didn't expect it to affect him so deeply.

"Partly," Tang Chong said.

"What about the other part?" Su Shan asked curiously. The events of tonight made her want to understand this man more.

Before, she thought he was a boy.

Now, she thought he was a man.

And he had a group of good brothers.

In such an environment, being forced by his family and elders but still standing by his side, the guy named Qian Ming was worthy of admiration. But didn't this also prove that he had a charisma that others couldn't match?

"There was a man who taught me many things," Tang Chong smiled, his face filled with nostalgia, and said, "But he never taught me how to bow my head."

PS: I've been writing from morning till now. Four chapters, 12,000 words.

I'm third in the red ticket ranking, not first. I was thinking of writing the fifth chapter to make you all feel moved, but I really can't write anymore. I'm tired. I need a rest.
