As Zhang Jun mentioned the name "Four Great Diamonds," Jiang Ping couldn't help but frown. As a student at No. 2 High School, Jiang Ping naturally knew who his good friend was talking about.

In fact, the so-called "Four Great Diamonds" were a group of small-time hooligans who often hung around near No. 2 High School. They didn't have the guts to commit serious crimes like murder or arson, but they had done plenty of minor offenses, such as extorting money from street vendors, bullying students from the two nearby high schools, and slapping the buttocks of pretty women on the street. They were the kind of people who didn't commit major evils but were constantly involved in minor ones.

But these four guys were absolute terrors in the eyes of the students from the two nearby schools. Anyone they targeted would be in for a lot of trouble.

It was said that just two months ago, a junior high school student from nearby Liaoyang High School was beaten up severely on his way home because he had offended the Four Great Diamonds. He was bedridden for a whole month. Later, the student never dared to return to school and transferred to another place to continue his studies.

Strictly speaking, the Four Great Diamonds weren't really that impressive. But they were adults, and compared to Jiang Jun and his high school friends, they were bolder and more ruthless. This made them much harder to deal with. That's why Jiang Ping frowned when he learned that the Four Great Diamonds were guarding the school gate.

If it were in his previous life, Jiang Ping wouldn't have taken the "Four Great Diamonds" seriously at all. Back then, he was a famous thief, well-known even in the global underworld. If he wanted to deal with street hooligans like the Four Great Diamonds, he wouldn't have needed to do it himself. Just a hint from him would have been enough for someone to take care of such "small troubles" for him.

Of course, at that time, Jiang Ping had already made some progress in his cultivation of the Xuan Kong Jue. Even without help, dealing with the Four Great Diamonds would have been a piece of cake for him.

However, there's a saying, "A hero doesn't talk about his past bravery." For Jiang Ping, it became "A hero doesn't talk about his past life's bravery." Now, Jiang Ping was just a senior high school student. Dealing with high school students like Jiang Jun and his friends wasn't a problem, but facing off against street hooligans like the Four Great Diamonds was indeed a challenge. Jiang Ping, who had seen the world in his previous life, didn't want to be beaten up by a few hooligans in his reborn life, which would be too depressing.

But Jiang Ping still held out a last hope and whispered to Zhang Jun, "How can you be sure they are targeting me? Maybe they are looking for someone else, and we are just scaring ourselves!"

Zhang Jun, who prided himself on being the most well-informed student at No. 2 High School, knew everything that happened in the school. Seeing Jiang Ping dare to doubt his "professional skills," he sneered, "When I was leaving the school, I heard Jiang Jun telling the Four Great Diamonds that the person they were looking for was wearing a gray shirt and jeans, riding a Giant bicycle, and had a buzz cut. Do you think they are looking for someone else?"

Hearing Zhang Jun's words and looking at his own outfit, Jiang Ping couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. It was clear that the Four Great Diamonds were there to block him.

Seeing that Jiang Ping finally believed him, Zhang Jun began to worry about his good friend and said anxiously, "You absolutely can't go out the school gate. If they catch you, you'll be in big trouble. Why don't you climb over the wall? I'll push your bike out for you, and we'll meet at the intersection ahead!"

Jiang Ping shook his head and said, "That won't work. It's broad daylight, and climbing over the wall is easy to be spotted by the patrolling teachers. You forgot what Mr. Li said: anyone caught climbing over the wall will definitely get a warning. There's only half a month left until the college entrance exam, and I don't want to get a warning just before graduation."

In fact, Jiang Ping didn't really care about the school's warning. After all, he was once on the international police's red notice, and compared to that, a school warning was nothing. The reason Jiang Ping didn't want a warning was just to avoid worrying his parents. After being reborn, he felt the value of family even more and didn't want to cause them any more trouble.

"A warning is better than getting beaten up!" Zhang Jun's thoughts were the opposite of Jiang Ping's, and he said anxiously, "The Four Great Diamonds are very ruthless. What if they beat you so badly that you can't take the college entrance exam? I think you should climb over the wall!"

"I'll go out the school gate," Jiang Ping said with a faint smile to his good friend. "Don't worry, they won't spot me!"

Zhang Jun said urgently, "Don't joke around. How can they not see you when you're all alone!"

"This is where you come in," Jiang Ping said calmly. "Give me your school uniform and baseball cap. Also, give me your bike, and you push it out for me."

Hearing Jiang Ping's words, Zhang Jun understood that he was planning to disguise himself to sneak out of the school. He asked worriedly, "Will this work?"

Jiang Ping said confidently, "Just watch!"

Jiang Ping's experience as a thief in his previous life gave him extensive anti-tracking skills. Quickly disguising himself using available items to shake off trackers was something he excelled at. Although the current conditions were very basic, Jiang Ping only needed to fool inexperienced street hooligans and high school students, which wasn't difficult for him.

Jiang Ping quickly put on Zhang Jun's school uniform and skillfully disguised himself. He then walked confidently toward the school gate. He had given his bike to Zhang Jun and was now wearing an unremarkable school uniform, with a baseball cap that covered his buzz cut. He looked very different from before. Even Li Qian might not recognize him at first glance.

Jiang Ping carried his schoolbag and walked slowly toward the school gate, showing no signs of nervousness, just like any other student.

Seeing Jiang Ping's calm demeanor, Zhang Jun couldn't help but admire him. After all, the Four Great Diamonds were notorious, and being caught by them would mean big trouble. If it were someone else, they would have been trembling with fear. But Jiang Ping looked as if nothing was wrong, and his composure impressed Zhang Jun greatly.

In fact, for Jiang Ping, the current situation was nothing. Compared to his experiences as an international thief in his previous life, this was child's play. He mixed in with the other students and soon saw the so-called Four Great Diamonds.

The Four Great Diamonds were young men in their twenties, all wearing floral shirts with their sleeves rolled up and the top buttons undone, revealing thick gold necklaces. They deliberately put on a fierce appearance, almost as if they had "I'm not a good person" written on their faces.

The Four Great Diamonds' eyes roamed over the students leaving the school. Anyone who dared to look at them for too long would immediately be met with a fierce glare until they looked away in fear. Being aggressive and intimidating was what these small-time hooligans loved to do, thinking it made them look very impressive. But to Jiang Ping, they looked foolish.

Jiang Jun was standing not far behind the Four Great Diamonds. Although he tried to act as if he didn't know them, his experienced eyes saw through it. Jiang Ping immediately noticed that Jiang Jun knew the Four Great Diamonds and was talking to them in a low voice.

Jiang Ping decided instantly to find a chance to listen to their conversation. He slightly changed his direction and moved closer to the Four Great Diamonds without drawing attention.
