Chapter 54 — It Was a Sensational Fight (Part Two)
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
So this was how hard the underworld life really was—at every moment the risk of being crippled, nothing like the glamour they had imagined! Today a student could beat Brother Black Panther to the ground; tomorrow they might run into someone even more vicious... They dared not think further.
By now the two of them were already minded to retreat. Fearing that Wei Zhao might vent his anger on them, they could not help shrinking backward...
"Motherfucker! Nobody's getting out of here alive today!" Brother Black Panther suddenly shot out his right hand, pulled a black-mouthed knockoff pistol from his pocket, and leveled it at Wei Zhao!
The knockoff pistol, commonly known as a "spitter," was the kind not turned out by any licensed arsenal but cobbled together in small illegal workshops and sold on the black market. Its accuracy and safety fell far short of a proper handgun, yet it remained highly prized among the underworld crowd—after all, with a piece like that tucked at your waist, who would dare make a reckless move when you pulled it out at the critical moment?
This was the pistol Brother Black Panther carried on him for emergencies. But he had never imagined he would draw it here—in a school, of all places, the one setting where it should be least likely to appear.
The commotion on Wei Zhao's side had already drawn the school's attention. Several PE teachers were conferring about going over together to drive Brother Black Panther and his lot off campus. After all, committing violence against students in broad daylight, right under the teachers' noses, was a slap in the face to every one of them! The burly PE teachers in particular were raring to go.
"What on earth is going on here?" Wang Zhifeng had also hurried out to the field. Seeing the crowd of teachers buzzing with discussion, he walked over at once to ask.
"Director Wang, it looks like Zhong Yongliang from Class Five, Grade Twelve, has brought some thugs from outside onto campus to make trouble..." The speaker was Zhang Xiaohua of the PE department, who taught that very class. He knew Zhong Yongliang—this spoiled rich kid who never studied and spent his days brawling and causing trouble—and thoroughly detested him, though there was nothing he could do about it. Getting to badmouth him in front of Wang Zhifeng now felt thoroughly satisfying.
"Zhong Yongliang?" Wang Zhifeng frowned and looked up toward the crowd of troublemakers not far away... Just then the situation took another turn: Brother Black Panther was sent sprawling face-first by a kick from Wei Zhao, his head slamming into the ground.
And at that moment Wang Zhifeng also got a clear look at the one who had kicked Brother Black Panther, and the corner of his mouth twitched. Why, it was that brat again! Originally Wang Zhifeng had thought Wei Zhao quite polite—though he had been introduced by the shareholder Gu Pengzhan, there was none of the spoiled-rich-kid air about him. He wore a clean school uniform and gave off a sunny impression.
But now... well, still waters run deep... And yet Wang Zhifeng could not afford to offend this particular gentleman. Never mind Gu Pengzhan behind him—even Wang Zhifeng's own little indiscretions, if Wei Zhao were to let slip a word about them, would leave him unable to walk away unscathed.
"You few from the PE department, go over and take a look—don't let any of our school's students get hurt!" Wang Zhifeng ordered the PE teachers, his words carrying his own meaning between the lines: those thugs from outside, you may handle however you like—but our own students, you make sure to protect them well!
The PE teachers could of course hear what Wang Zhifeng was driving at. Though Wei Zhao now held the upper hand, they too had to go over and press that advantage home.
But just as the few of them were about to step forward, they beheld a scene that left them stunned!
