Wang Zhifeng knew that Lin Yi was introduced by Chu Pengzhan, so he wanted to show some goodwill towards Lin Yi. After all, besides Class 5 of Grade 3, there was also the vocational class, Class 6 of Grade 3. Transferring Lin Yi to Class 6 could avoid further conflicts with Zhong Pinliang.
Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh after hearing Wang Zhifeng's words. It turned out that Wang Zhifeng was afraid that Zhong Pinliang and his group would cause trouble for him! However, Lin Yi's true intention was to stay with Chu Mengyao. How could he transfer classes without her?
Besides, Lin Yi didn't really take Zhong Pinliang and his group seriously. He doubted they would dare to act up in front of him again.
"Thank you, Director Wang. I'm quite comfortable in this class. I've just gotten used to the environment and don't want to change again," Lin Yi politely declined Wang Zhifeng's offer.
"Is that so? Alright then. If anything happens, don't be too stubborn. Report it to the school immediately, and we will handle it properly." Seeing Lin Yi's determination, Wang Zhifeng didn't say anything more.
After this incident, Zhong Pinliang and his group would likely behave for a while.
During the evening self-study, the results of the English test were announced. As expected, in the key class of a key high school, even though Kang Xiaobo said the questions were a bit difficult, several students scored over 130 out of 150. Kang Xiaobo scored 111, and Lin Yi scored 109.
Of course, Lin Yi did this intentionally, aiming to keep his grades in the lower middle range of the class to avoid drawing too much attention.
However, what surprised Lin Yi was that among those who scored over 130, Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu each took one spot.
It seems these two rich girls aren't just pretty faces, Lin Yi thought to himself.
"Boss, you did well, scoring so high on your first test!" Kang Xiaobo was secretly surprised to see that Lin Yi was only two points behind him.
"Maybe I was just lucky," Lin Yi thought. If he had known the questions were so difficult, he would have gotten a few more wrong.
"Want to go eat something tonight? I'll treat you?" Kang Xiaobo had mentioned this to Lin Yi at noon, but Lin Yi hadn't agreed, saying they could talk about it later.
"Maybe on the weekend. My home is quite far from the school, and there won't be any buses if I go back too late," Lin Yi said apologetically to Kang Xiaobo.
"Alright, that makes sense. There are only a few bus routes around the school. Let's talk about it on the weekend then." Kang Xiaobo clearly misunderstood Lin Yi's intention.
Lin Yi felt that Kang Xiaobo was a good person and didn't want to deceive him. However, since Kang Xiaobo had misunderstood, Lin Yi didn't want to clarify. His real intention was that Chu Mengyao's villa was far from the school, and Uncle Fu's car couldn't wait for him indefinitely. If he stayed too late, there would be no car.
After school, Lin Yi left the school gate with Kang Xiaobo, glancing at Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu as they got into Uncle Fu's Bentley. He then said to Kang Xiaobo, "I'm off. See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow..." Kang Xiaobo was in a state of agitation all day, originally planning to have dinner and a few drinks with Lin Yi. Since Lin Yi didn't have time, he had to give up.
"Where are you rushing off to? Stand there!" A sudden voice startled Kang Xiaobo. He looked up to see Zhong Pinliang, Zhang Naipao, and Gao Xiaofu blocking his way. The speaker was Gao Xiaofu.
During the break, Zhong Pinliang had called home and learned that Black Panther had taken all the blame. However, Zhong Pinliang was still scolded by his father, making him even more frustrated. All this was because of Lin Yi, but Lin Yi was someone he couldn't provoke. Zhong Pinliang could only seethe with anger.
Gao Xiaofu suggested a plan. Since they couldn't touch Lin Yi for now, they could teach Kang Xiaobo a lesson. Yesterday on the rooftop, this guy had been quite bold, and today he had kicked Black Panther in the crotch. They couldn't let him off without a lesson.
Zhong Pinliang's eyes lit up at this. Lin Yi was someone he couldn't provoke, but teaching Kang Xiaobo a lesson to vent his anger was a good idea.
"What... What do you want?" Kang Xiaobo, although he had acted tough the past two days with Lin Yi's support, was now alone. He knew he had to be tough, but he could feel the fear rising in his heart as he saw the malicious intent in Zhong Pinliang's group.
"What do you want? Don't you know what you've done these past two days?" Zhong Pinliang sneered, reaching out to slap Kang Xiaobo's face. "Kang Xiaobo, I never thought you were such a hidden talent."
"What have I done?" Kang Xiaobo knew that begging for mercy wouldn't help. Since he had already made an enemy of Zhong Pinliang, he might as well go all the way. At worst, he would get a beating, but they couldn't kill him.
"Ha! You're still so defiant?" Zhong Pinliang, confident that he had Kang Xiaobo in his grasp, said, "What? You dare to do it but not admit it? Or is it that your transfer student's support is gone, so you lack the courage?"
To be honest, Zhong Pinliang finally felt a sense of relief, but he also felt a bit humiliated. He had resorted to bullying a regular student to vent his anger.
Kang Xiaobo knew he couldn't avoid the beating today. With a surge of courage, he said, "Zhong Pinliang, if you touch me today, I will pay you back tenfold, a hundredfold! Come on, if you dare!"
After saying this, Kang Xiaobo closed his eyes, ready to face his fate.
"Damn, you're still so defiant? Interesting! Guys, what are you waiting for? Let's go!" Zhong Pinliang, seeing that Kang Xiaobo wasn't begging for mercy, found it boring and decided to act without further ado.
"Brother Liang..." Gao Xiaofu suddenly tugged at Zhong Pinliang's sleeve, looking nervous.
"What is it?" Zhong Pinliang frowned, "What's the matter?"
Gao Xiaofu pointed to a nearby spot and said, somewhat panicked, "Brother Liang, look over there..."
"What?" Zhong Pinliang, somewhat impatient, glanced in the direction Gao Xiaofu was pointing. He was immediately shocked to see Lin Yi walking towards them with a smile. However, that smile looked demonic to Zhong Pinliang.
Why is he back? Didn't he already leave? Zhong Pinliang was shocked. Lin Yi was a madman. Once he came over, would Zhong Pinliang have any good outcome?
Despite feeling humiliated and furious, Zhong Pinliang didn't dare to confront Lin Yi directly. Damn it, a gentleman avenges a wrong after ten years. The humiliation I suffer today, I will pay back tenfold, a hundredfold!
What Zhong Pinliang didn't expect was that Kang Xiaobo's bold words would be used against him so soon.
