Chapter 20

Looking at Jiang Jun and the others lying on the ground, Jiang Ping’s face showed no trace of satisfaction. For Jiang Ping, who was a world-renowned thief in his previous life, dealing with Jiang Jun and the others was as easy as playing a game. Winning against them was a matter of course, and there was nothing to be happy about.

After all, although Jiang Jun and the others had a notorious reputation in school and seemed quite intimidating, they were just high school students. Jiang Ping knew that as long as he was a bit more ruthless and could overwhelm them with his presence, their fighting spirit would quickly collapse, and they wouldn’t dare to make a move again.

And that’s exactly what happened. In fact, Jiang Jun and the others weren’t seriously injured. If they had all attacked together, Jiang Ping would definitely not have been their match. However, Jiang Jun and the others were thoroughly intimidated by Jiang Ping’s fierce and decisive actions, and no one dared to provoke him again.

For Jiang Ping, who had experienced many storms in his previous life, subduing a few high school students was nothing to be proud of. On the contrary, he was dissatisfied with himself for being out of breath after a bit of intense exercise, and he couldn’t help but think to himself, "My current physical condition is still a bit weak. I need to start exercising as soon as possible."

Of course, for Jiang Ping, the matter of exercising could only be put aside for now. Dealing with Jiang Jun and the others was the top priority. He held the strap of his schoolbag and walked up to Jiang Jun, lightly kicking him and saying, "Stop pretending, sit up properly, or you’ll be in for a rough time!"

Jiang Jun was indeed pretending to be pitiful, but Jiang Ping’s warning made him tremble all over, and he quickly sat up cautiously. The usually troublesome Jiang Jun, who gave many teachers a headache, was as obedient as a primary school student in front of Jiang Ping. He sat on the ground, head down, not daring to look at Jiang Ping.

After all, Jiang Jun and the others were just unruly high school students. Jiang Ping didn’t want to waste time on such people and asked coldly, "I had no grudges with you before, so why did you come to cause trouble for me?"

Jiang Ping asked this question because of the cautious nature he had developed in his previous life. Although Zhang Jun had already told him the details, he still felt the need to confirm it with Jiang Jun and the others to be at ease.

Despite his usual arrogant demeanor in front of other students, Jiang Jun was actually a bully who feared strong opponents. After being beaten by Jiang Ping, he had no thoughts of resistance left and said in a low voice, "Someone asked us to teach you a lesson."

Jiang Ping didn’t give Jiang Jun a chance to catch his breath and immediately asked coldly, "Who is that person?"

This question made Jiang Jun fall silent. After all, he was a well-known figure at No. 2 High School. Although he had already been beaten by Jiang Ping, if he betrayed his friends, he wouldn’t be able to continue in the school.

Seeing that Jiang Jun wasn’t speaking, Jiang Ping didn’t urge him but said coldly to the four of them, "You don’t want to say, right? Fine, I’ll have each of you write down that person’s name. If anyone doesn’t write it down or writes a different name, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"

Jiang Ping had a reason for doing this. First, by involving all four of them, he reduced their hesitation to tell the truth. Second, by having each of them write the name separately, he prevented them from colluding and intimidated those who might lie. If anyone wrote a different name, they would be in real trouble.

As he spoke, Jiang Ping opened his schoolbag, apparently intending to provide paper and pens to Jiang Jun and the others. However, before taking out the paper and pens, he first pulled out several red bricks from his bag.

Seeing this, Jiang Jun and the others were all enlightened. No wonder the schoolbag was so powerful; it turned out Jiang Ping had hidden bricks inside! This made Jiang Jun and the others even more afraid of Jiang Ping. In their usual fights, they would at most pick up bricks and hit people. But Jiang Ping was “cunning,” hiding the bricks in his schoolbag in advance, which not only increased the bag’s attack power but also achieved a surprise effect.

Jiang Ping didn’t care how Jiang Jun and the others felt. He placed the paper and pens in front of each of them and had them write down the name. Seeing Jiang Ping’s cold smile, Jiang Jun and the others had no choice but to obediently write down the name.

Jiang Ping collected the slips of paper and, upon seeing them, a cold smile appeared on his face. The handwriting on all four slips was identical, all writing the name "Zhou Xiang."

"Sure enough, it’s him!" Jiang Ping said coldly to Jiang Jun and the others, "Tell him to stop causing trouble for me, or else... I’ll make him die a very ugly death!"

To be honest, Jiang Ping just wanted to scare Zhou Xiang through Jiang Jun and the others, so he wouldn’t come to cause trouble again. For the newly reborn Jiang Ping, there were many things to deal with, and he didn’t have the time to play such a pointless game with a high school student.

However, Jiang Ping keenly noticed that when he mentioned Zhou Xiang, Jiang Jun and the others all involuntarily glanced towards the water tank on the rooftop. Although they quickly moved their gazes back, it didn’t escape the notice of Jiang Ping, who had rich experience from his previous life. He quickly thought of a possibility and, under the shocked gazes of Jiang Jun and the others, strode towards the water tank.

Jiang Ping’s guess was correct; Zhou Xiang was indeed hiding behind the water tank. Although Zhou Xiang knew it wasn’t safe, he hated Jiang Ping so much that he was willing to take the risk to see him get beaten.

Zhou Xiang thought he could vent his anger, but the situation developed completely differently from what he expected. Seeing Jiang Ping easily defeat Jiang Jun and the others, Zhou Xiang was truly terrified. He hid behind the water tank, hoping Jiang Ping wouldn’t find him, or it would be a disaster.

However, Zhou Xiang’s wish didn’t come true. When Jiang Ping appeared in front of him, Zhou Xiang felt like a deflated balloon, his whole body going limp with fear.

"How much do you hate me that you have to see me get beaten to feel satisfied!" Jiang Ping said with a playful smile, grabbing Zhou Xiang by the collar, "Since that’s the case, let’s settle this. I’ll throw you down right now!"

Jiang Ping wasn’t just making empty threats; he started dragging Zhou Xiang towards the edge of the rooftop. Of course, Jiang Ping didn’t really intend to throw him down; he just wanted to scare him so he wouldn’t cause trouble again.

However, for Jiang Ping, who had a Ph.D. in psychology, deceiving a high school student was too easy. To Zhou Xiang, Jiang Ping was really going to throw him off the rooftop.

Thinking it was a matter of life and death, Zhou Xiang screamed in agony and struggled desperately. However, he was so scared that his limbs were weak, and he couldn’t resist Jiang Ping. As he got closer to the edge of the rooftop, Zhou Xiang felt a warm sensation in his crotch and, in his fear, wet his pants.
