Capítulo 26: CHAPTER 31-40
Who are you.
Song Ye contemplate over this sentence a few times and was aware that on the other end of the network, there was a large hand that was out to capture her. Considering her current skills, if they were able to trace her, it meant that the party on the other end was either the military or members of that organization…
Aside from thinking about when and where she left her traces behind, Song Ye thought that she must acquire her own private notebook to conduct her jobs and setting firewalls up.
She was never the type to back down after encountering danger. Reversely, this body of hers currently needs more challenges with high difficulty to stimulate the body's growth. And so, the journey to Lin Cheng prison was a must.
Yun Hua had not woken up even when it was dinner time. Before she headed there, she requested Zhao Zhen,
"Do tie her up if she were to reach for a knife when she wakes up."
Tie her up? Zhao Zhen's expression was quite complicated and disagreed with such a rough way in dealing with it,
"Or maybe we can have her checked in the hospital? I by chance know some hospital personnel."
"No need."
Song Ye did not accept it. Her expression couldn't be seen as she stood in front of the Yu Fu Jewellery shop while staring at the dark sky.
"There are things that can't be solved with only a few words or medicine."
She under stood that, the problems that are rooted in the heart has to be unraveled by the person themselves.
Song Ye had borrowed Zhao Zhen's car to head to Lin Cheng and had the car's number plate covered. The black car raced through the dark night, it seems as if a beast was crouching in the deep dark abyss. The hazy night has became the battlefield that she was familiar with.
After hiding the car within the grassland behind the prison, Song Ye can clearly hear the alarm resonating above the prison – the light above the guard tower was vigilantly searching the ground. This vigilant status had made her lips curved up for reasons unknown.
Seems like the one that traced her was none other than the military.
Only the military will alert the prison to increase their defense. Even if she was unable to complete the operation, at the very least, the identity of the large hand was identified.
Changing into a black bodysuit with a black cap, Song Ye's slender body quickly went through the dried grassland under the searchlight that were moving over her at times. Standing by the wall heightening up to more than ten meters, she used her hand to analyze** the situation on the other side of the wall. After predicting the position of the patrol unit carefully, she hooked the rope onto the top of the wall and climbed stealthily like a feline. When she got near the top of the wall, she took out the EMP (electromagnetic pulse) generator and set it up onto the electric fence.
When the electric current was disturbed, the prison had completely sunk into darkness.
"Alert! Alert! Report this to the internal personnel and guard over the criminals!"
Humans need time to adapt to the darkness; and these few seconds of adaptation was the optimal time for Song Ye to begin her operation.
In the darkness, a black shadow slipped through the guns that were held up, precisely evaded all the warden's eyes. Even if at times someone felt something were off, they could only feel a wind brushing past their ears.
Song Ye ran and evaded at the same time, feeling the function of her body heightening slowly in this intense situation. Although it has yet to reach its peak condition, these types of improvements were still noticeable.
"Please do not panic. The power system will be back to normal in ten minutes. All the personnel are not to leave their posts."
When she had slipped into the internal part of the prison, Song Ye had heard the broadcasted message. Her eyes had slightly narrowed in the dark and glimmered.
Ten minutes, it was more than enough.
The prison was where she was the most familiar with in her past life. As the target of her mission stayed inside there, she at times had to disguise herself to enter there. She knew thoroughly where the cameras were set at and where the severe case criminals were locked up at.
As Lin Cheng was a small place, Song Ye had easily knocked five officers out, reaching her destination in only around five minutes.
The prison was really noisy and rowdy now as the criminals attempted to escape as chaos ensues. The same also apply to the female quarter.
They had knocked the buckets and cups in the dark and screeching,
"Ahhhh…."
But during the time they were trying to be smart, no one had noticed that there was one person less in the prison. When the lights were back and all had calmed down, they then only noticed that there was someone that had gone missing, no, to be more precise, she had disappeared, and no one knew when and how that happened.
"Mmmph…"
In a distance quite far away within the tall, dried grass, Song Ye heard the alarm rang again, but this time it had appeared to be more frequent. This was a warning that a criminal had broke out of the prison.
And the criminal that had gone missing was now lying down in the trunk of the car Song Ye was driving. Looking at her empty palm, she had once again found it to be unbelievable.
Originally, when she had gone near the prison, she planned to open the door to break the person out. But when she noticed the situation in the prison she had began thinking if only she could insert people into her space…
When that thought appeared, that person who was in the room was instantly sucked into her space. It had caused Song Ye to be so surprised that she quickly remove that person out of there and knocked them out before throwing them into her space again.
God had let her go through such a difficult life which in turn honed her skills; she was reborn in exchange for her death, and was even given such a buffed cheat. It was difficult to not be overpowered at all.
She then rushed back to Yun Cheng overnight with the car. As dawn arrives, she then switched on the radio in the car. And as she had expected, it was now broadcasted on the news of the criminal that was broken out of prison in Lin Cheng.
Song Ye even wickedly began thinking about what would the expression of the large hand that attempted to capture her would be like upon listening to this news.
Zhao Zhen had arrived at Yu Fu Jewellery at the break of dawn and saw the car parked on the side had became dirty and that a tired looking Song Ye was drinking soy milk, his brows knitted together tightly,
"Song Ye, don't tell me you had traveled in the car for the whole night?"
Song Ye had only nodded her head and finished up the soy milk to its very last drop. Getting rid of the coldness surrounding her body, she stared towards the shop,
"Has Yun Jie woke up?"
"Mmn, she was awake,"
With the mention of Yun Hua, Zhao Zhen had begin to feel distressed and disconsolate,
"She woke up right after you had left and she did not even go on a rampage but just kept on spacing out, not eating anything at all. Song Ye, I understand that you are capable and you thought of what to do, but this type of illness is not easy to treat. Why don't we just go to the hospital?"
No matter how business-minded, calm and collected Song Ye can be, she was only, in the end of it all, merely a fifteen year old child.
But Song Ye was a very stubborn person. Even for someone as apathetic as she was, she had an indescribable feelings towards Yun Hua,
"I will bring her out for a walk for a while."
"Song Ye… Haa, fine."
Zhao Zhen heavily sighed as he stared at the girl's slender back, feeling helpless.
CHAPTER 32- REVENGE
Yun Hua felt as if she has reached the end of her journey of her life. Living for a few years in the cellar so dark that one couldn't distinguish the days or the nights, her life was slowly fleeing away, making her feel like she had became an undead. Even if she had left that place, she will always remember those filthy disgusting memories. The rotten smell could only be somehow washed away by the scent of blood and the feeling of pain.
But then, at the moment Song Ye found her, she felt that her thoughts were wrong.
She was wasting her chance to survive. The opportunity of survival that was given in exchange from the rain of bullets. She shouldn't, but being alive, was excruciating.
When she woke up, she had thought about where she should head to… Until footsteps could be heard outside the door. That person pulled the door open, bringing in the cold air surrounding her.
"….Song Ye…."
She opened her mouth, her lips chapped due to not consuming anything, called out her name with a hoarse voice.
"Get up, follow me."
Song Ye did not even look at her fatigues on her face and pulled her out of the bed, striding out of the room.
As it was quite early, there were no customers and only the shop clerks sweeping the floor. When they heard a commotion upstairs and looked up, they then saw Song Ye, with a cold face, was dragging an unkempt Yun Hua down the stairs, without even caring that she was barefooted. When they were in front of the car, Song Ye just forced her into the car.
Staring at the car that raced off, Zhao Zhen frowned deeply and waved towards the shop clerk in the shop,
"Yun Hua's having a day off today, head back to work."
Deep inside, he was worried sick. It was obvious that Yun Hua's situation, she would not be able to face stimulation more than that; while Song Ye does things in her own way, not to mention she's still a fifteen year old that was prone to do something reckless, it would be bad if something were to happen. But once again, Song Ye's was stubborn as a bull charging to the front – no one will be able to change her mind or direction, even Zhao Zhen felt helpless.
The car had drove from the city center to the remote countryside, and in the end stopped in front of an old and abandoned warehouse. Since no one can be seen around, it had appeared to be quite ruined.
"We're here."
Song Ye was the first to open the door. With a black windbreaker covering her body, she headed into the warehouse first.
Yun Hua looked at the large black door and the silhouette that was disappearing slowly. She felt as if she had gone back to the dark, dank cellar. Afraid that Song Ye would leave her behind, she opened the door of the car with trembling hands and chased after her with shaky legs.
Until the slender back could be seen again, she then sighed out in relief and slightly smiled,
"Song…"
Before the second word can come out, her voice was stuck in her throat.
She looked over Song Ye, then towards the woman that was kneeling over there.
The woman was wearing rugged clothing and looked simplistic. From one glance, it could be seen that she was someone from the secluded and mountainous area; but that face was one that Yun Hua will never forget in her life.
The woman was Wang Feng. She was the first human trafficker that got a hold of her and so she would be able to recognize her even if she had turned into ashes.
"But, wasn't she supposed to be in the prison?"
Yun Hua remembered that the news had reported about this, that all the villagers in that village had been apprehended.
"Mmn."
Song Ye replied to that, the tone of her voice was flat. In the next second, she took out a black thing from her pocket and threw it towards of Yun Hua,
"Now, you can do what you had wanted to."
Yun Hua lowered her gaze. When she saw the thing lying on the floor, she was so scared that she backed up two steps, her voice trembling,
"A gun…"
She had seen this stuff a lot of times during her time in the mountain, but she had never touched them even once. The deepest moment that was craved into her mind was the time when a girl stole the gun away and pointed it towards her own head and shot herself. The scene when the blood and brain matter spurted out made her still feel like vomiting everytime she recalled it.
Now, Song Ye wanted her to take the gun, and murder someone?
Yun Hua's confused and panicked eyes fell onto the girl's calm face. She then suddenly shook her head greatly,
"No, no, I can't…"
The her before was not even able to kill a fish, how was she even going to be able to kill someone off?
But when she wanted to walk backwards, Song Ye extended her hand and roughly pulled her down the floor. Before she could even scream in pain, Song Ye's cold voice could be heard over her head,
"Yun Hua, didn't you say you greatly regretted the fact that you did not get to kill them off?"
Yun Hua's body shook, clearly remembering what she had said before when she had tried to harm herself,
"But…"
Without her being able to finish her sentence, her scalp suddenly felt painful and she was forced to raise her head, staring face-to-face with the woman kneeling in front of her,
"Look properly, who is this woman? Who had even tricked you into the mountains, who had even allowed her son to rape you first; how smelly and filthy the first cellar that you stayed in were. All of these, if you still remember, you should know who the person in front of you is."
Following the cold words, all the nightmares hidden in her heart began to be ripped out one by one, cruelly relaying scene by scene in her mind, as if all those pains and sufferings are deeply carved into her bones. It was so painful the woman on the floor let out a heart wrenching scream,
"Ahhh…."
That crying scream sounded as if it came from the abyss, as if they were at the end of their life. The tears were rushing out like a broken dam, making the pallid face wet from it.
But Song Ye did not stop at that, she would not allow the life that she had personally saved die once again. She forced Yun Hua to face it, to detest,
"This life of yours was saved by me. So, you do not have the right to point the blade towards yourself. Before you punish yourself, you should return ten times the deeds others had done to you."
The one you should kill, is not yourself.
With her glance blurred by her tears, Yun Hua stared at the woman in front of her. The memories that were rampaging in her mind had the ugly and disgusting face of the woman deeply carved in. Before that, she was always mistreated and tortured inhumanly. Within the timeless cellar, she had, at some point, hated as well. She hated them so much she had wanted to devour their flesh and swallow their blood. Hated them so much that she would be able to burn that demon's lair and had all of them purged down to hell!
That's right. All of her misfortunes were caused by the woman in front of her!
If not for her, how would she even become like this!
At last, the trembling finger clutched onto the gun. The cold metal had made her shivered. When she saw the mouth of the woman sealed and tears flowing down her face, her eyes turned cruel.
Bang… Bang… Bang…
Shot by shot, the impactful sound followed by the sound of bullets entering the flesh resounded. The woman that had her hands and legs tied up had fallen down onto the floor. The body had stopped functioning trembled by the impact of bullets hitting her body. The empty eyes that looked into the sky were filled with endless hatred and despair.
Until all the bullets were used up, Yun Hua limply sat on the ground and blankly stared at the woman lying in the pool of blood. After a while, her lips began to open up slowly, laughter could be heard from that mouth,
"Ha, haha, hahahahaha….."
The soft laughter became louder and louder, slowly turning into a huge roar of laughter, tears flowed along with her laughter, as if it was purifying the taint on her body.
Song Ye silently walked towards her and embraced her head, providing her with warmth.
She knew, after this death, Yun Hua would become more and more stronger.
CHAPTER 33- DON'T WANT TO TEACH THIS TYPE OF STUDENT
In this world if one were to talk about the ranking of humans with heart made of stone, if Song Ye admitted to be in second place, no one dared to say that they were first in that ranking.
When Yun Hua was still immersed in the feeling of killing someone, Song Ye had drove her to the department shop to do some shopping. Since it was such a long time since she last experienced the life in the city, the bright atmosphere had her feeling nervous.
Song Ye on the other hand acted like nothing was up and after walking for one round, she placed the few sets of clothing in her hand onto her,
"Go and try it."
Yun Hua blankly looked at her. She can still smell the gunpowder on their body due to how close they were. That smell had reminded her of the fact that they had killed someone half an hour ago.
Having the hand drenched with blood a moment before and now shopping as if nothing was up. It was something that only someone as weird as Song Ye would be able to do at this point. From the moment she met her, Yun Hua had felt that she was different from others.
When the car slowly stopped in front of the jewellery shop, Yun Hua carried a bag of clothing while still not back to her senses.
Song Ye bent over to help her unbuckle the seat belt and console her with a soft voice,
"Everyone only has one life and there's a lot of stuff that can be done. So, you don't need to keep on delving into your past."
Yun Hua raise her head to look at the girl in front of her. Even though she looked to be around fifteen to sixteen years old with a voice that sound child-like, her eyes seemed as if she had been through all sorts of hardships. When that person was about to back off, she promptly grabbed onto the girl's arm and asked in a low voice,
"Song Ye, can I follow you?"
"Hmm?"
Song Ye was surprised for a moment before regaining her sense. But she had looked at her deeply and asked back,
"Do you understand what it means to follow me?"
Shocked by the deep and low voice asking her this question, Yun Hua's body shook a little, feeling scared for reasons unknown. But in the end, she firmly nodded her head,
"Song Ye, I understand that you are no normal human, so whatever you do might be beyond human comprehension. But I want to follow you, I want to be like you, to be even more stronger than anyone else."
From the moment she pulled the trigger, she knew what she wanted. She was not afraid that what lies beyond will be a sea of fire or a path filled with blades, but was afraid that she will forever be stuck in the mud, unable to get away from it.
And Song Ye was her sole hope.
Facing the wishful gaze, Song Ye did not nod her head just like that. She silently turned her gaze towards the end of the street,
"If you follow me, the road ahead won't be a smooth one."
At that time, she was forced to walked onto this road filled with blood and had wished in her heart countless times that she could turn back to the way she was before,
"You need to think this through properly and tell me only then. I will give you three days to do so."
The pretext of her saving Yun Hua was hoping that she would lead a normal and peaceful life. She had never wanted her to follow her and have a bloodied life.
When she dropped the sentence, it was not discussed any further. Song Ye went out of the car and sent her back into the shop and turned to head towards the gymnasium.
It was Friday, and after leaving the school for two days, Song Ye felt that if she didn't appear, Tang Mei Ling and her companion will take this chance to poke her in the back. And so, when the bell signifying first period rang, she stepped in with her pair of white shoes under the gazes that were either out of shock or taken aback.
After the silent gazes that were in sync, the class immediately became rowdy.
"How shameless can she be to appear in the school after causing such a huge ruckus."
"Yeah, if it was me, I would not dare to come to school anymore since it will make me be the joke of the year."
"Eh, I thought I heard that she had quit school? I even heard the class rep asking the teacher if they should have her seat removed."
No matter how they tried to lower their voice, Song Ye's hearing was sensitive so she can still hear them and processed most part of the information. When she heard that Tang Mei Ling wanted to have her seat removed, she raised her brow and was sure that she and Song Ting Ting were in it together; or else, it would be impossible for her to know what the Song family had in mind.
And Tang Mei Ling's face was very dark. The good mood that she had with much difficulty in the morning had turned sour the moment she saw Song Ye's face.
Other than her, there was another person that did not welcome the arrival of Song Ye.
"Song Ye, take your book and stand outside of the class. From now on, you don't need to attend my classes anymore."
Upon entering the classroom and seeing the shadow of someone in the corner of the classroom, the homeroom teacher was confused for a moment. In these two days, she had heard that Song Ye would quit school and was happy at the fact that she could get rid of a troublemaker, that drags her feet and was even waiting for the class to end so that she could have her seat removed from the class. But before she can even enact her thoughts, that person just appeared grandiosely. Remembering the roughness of Lu Lan and the rudely arrogance of Song Ye, the homeroom teacher did not even bother to be courteous and chased her out of her class the moment she reached the podium.
A new day had just begun and the third year's fifth class had begun with a heavy atmosphere.
Everyone had held their breathe in and waiting to watch yet another amusing drama. Waiting for the female lead to hugged her bag and cried pitifully while dashing out of the classroom. At their age, no one dared to openly challenge the teachers, and no girls will not cry at such a severe scolding.
While Song Ye had stood up like what everyone had anticipated, no tears can be found in her eyes and her gaze was as guiltless as it had appeared. Standing there, she questioned the teacher,
"I wonder what did I do wrong. So wrong to the point the teacher had gone through such lengths as to not allowing me to attend classes right before the entrance exam."
Although she had felt that it would not make any difference whether she listened to the class or not, she did not want others to think that she's the one to go for when one wants to bully someone.
The homeroom teacher was unable to refute that and so her face darkened,
"Running away from your house, skipping classes with no valid reasons. I don't want to teach a student that has such a bad attitude."
"Oh?"
Song Ye's pitch slightly raised and the corner of her lips showed a cold smile,
"I never knew that the teacher can just outright decide whether they want to teach or not to teach. I guess I should go and confirm it with the headmaster of the fact that if the teacher chose not to teach, will I be guaranteed to head to Shi Yi Zhong."
She had repeated the words "teach" and "not to teach" a few times as if it were a tongue twister and it all ended with the homeroom teacher stimulated to the point her face became red and slammed her hand onto the podium,
"Song Ye, don't you dare utter nonsense here. With your talent in study and your attitude, I'm sure that no one will go against my decision to chase you out of the class."
"Talent and attitude?"
Song Ye slowly clutched onto the contradiction in her words and began to counterattack with a casual air,
"I have only heard of those that teach indiscriminately and those that acted first in fear that they will be left behind. And on to the case of my family and I – I did not come to school because it was permitted by the teacher to deal with my family matter. It was something that you said yourself, did you forget about it?"
"You…"
The homeroom teacher gritted her teeth and was so angry she could barely breathe properly nor could she refute to that.
She really hated Song Ye's sharp tongue and ability to make a sound argument, hated how she never back off and always challenged her. And now, she had even made her unable to brush over the situation.
During the time both of them were facing off, a shadow suddenly stood up and a sharp voice can be heard,
"Teacher, don't let this anger you so much that it affect your health. The entrance exam is near and if Song Ye wanted to listen to the class, just let her be so that she won't come and complain by chance she was unable to make it. Everyone know about her academic performance. Even if she had studied diligently without sleeping, she won't be able to make it into Shi Yi Zhong. So, don't be so angry about it."
CHAPTER 34- THE GAMBLE OF GETTING INTO THE FIRST CLASS
After listening to those words, the students in the classroom nodded in agreement.
From the corner of her eye, Song Ye was able to see Tang Mei Ling's straight back and the arrogance in her smile. The words that seemed like advice were, in fact, an act of stepping onto Song Ye's face in order to brush up the affection points for the teacher.
Well, since Song Ye was a student who performed badly in academics, those who perform badly in academics had no right to speak. Which ultimately, is a usual occurrence.
But now that her soul had matured, the way she views the situation would also be different.
Song Ye had just remembered something and stared into Tang Mei Ling's face and suddenly opened her mouth,
"Although what Class Rep said was all out of goodwill, I can't come to agree with the content. One of the goals in the entrance exam that I would like to achieve is to enter Shi Yi Zhong. I heard that the first class still has an empty spot and so, in order to secure a better learning atmosphere and resources, I'm going to enter the class from my results in the coming term exam."
"What?"
Tang Mei Ling who was in front of her turned her head back in surprise and with a face as if she had seen a ghost, the first sentence that came out of her mouth were,
"You are going to enter Class One?"
Song Ye stared back at her, the corner of her lips went up,
"I heard that Class Rep also had the same plan."
No, it's not from hearsay. That was what Tang Mei Ling had said arrogantly in the past after bullying and humiliating her. Saying that she will become one of the elites, wanting to become the class belle. Song Ye was reminded all of these after all the ruckus she had made.
As for Tang Mei Ling who was looking at the smile on Song Ye's face, for some reason, she felt as if she was going against her on purpose.
But the academic performance of first class is the top of the whole school. For Song Ye who was dragging everyone down, it was all a mere dream.
Disregarding Tang Mei Ling, everyone, including the homeroom teacher at the podium all thought that Song Ye was speaking of an unrealistic dream.
"Alright since you said that you want to take the exam, I will let you register. And if you really are able to, I will stand at the entrance of the classroom while sending you off."
The homeroom teacher gritted her teeth and smirked. If Song Ye had failed to do so, then she for sure will not allow a student who had no talent to exhaust her resources.
To this date, in the name list to register for the exam to enter the first class, a total of two students had registered for it in the fifth class. From the eyes of those that understood the situation, Song Ye was competing with Tang Mei Ling, but everyone was actually waiting for Song Ye to become the joke of the fifth class.
Even Song Ye's loyal protector slash deskmate, Wang Tie Chuan also did not believe it. With their academic results observed by all, he couldn't help but to console her, saying,
"Song Ye, I know you're heading to first class because of Xu Ge, but this is not something you can achieve by simply pushing yourself to the limit."
Seeing that she had successfully blocked the two people that she couldn't see eye-to-eye, Song Ye felt satisfied and maintained the curl on the corner of her lips that appeared rarely. But when she heard what Wang Tie Chuan had said, she was dumbfounded for a moment,
"You said Xu Zi Hang's at first class?"
"Yeah, boss performed the best among us academically, even within the first class, he's also the best. Eh, you didn't know that?"
Wang Tie Chuan had only realized it after explaining for some time and when he saw Song Ye unhesitatingly shake her head, he then touched his nose awkwardly,
"I thought that… ahem, if you want to enter first class, do you want me to ask Boss to help you out?"
Song Ye shook her head, indicating that she did not need it. Ignoring Wang Tie Chuan's weird reaction, she then took her exercise book and begin to complete the questions.
Wang Tie Chuan kept thinking on and on, and since he was unable to acquire any information from Song Ye, he was so curious he just blurted out what happened in the class to Xu Zi Hang,
"Boss, between you and Song Ye…. is there really nothing between you and Song Ye?"
At that time, Xu Zi Hang was dumping the love letters he received into the trash can. When he heard that, he raised his brows and asked with a playful face,
"You think I will like her?"
After giving it some thought, Wang Tie Chuan shook his head. It's not because Song Ye is not pretty, but it's because his boss has no delicacy.
Xu Zi Hang took his bag and walked towards the entrance. When he saw Wang Tie Chuan standing over there still scratching his ear and cheeks, he purposefully stretched his voice,
"As for the part if she likes me or not….. It's something that I would not know."
Of course, he thinks that Song Ye is more interested in his position of being the leader.
No matter how loud the discussion of the outsiders is, Song Ye was still unperturbed and continue completing her exercise books and reading reference books. A whole week had passed and other than receiving phone calls from Yun Hua, the noisy Song family did not appear, and so, her days passed by peacefully.
A week later, an independent classroom was specially assigned for the exam. A total of around ten students participated in the exam and the questions were set by the teachers in first class. And when the marking was done, the papers and marks would all be released and published from first class.
When Song Ye had completed her paper and prepared to hand it in, she saw Tang Mei Ling who was seated at the first row was still writing diligently. She was so tensed that she was sweating, even though its winter.
"Teacher, I'm done and I want to hand in my paper."
She handed her test paper in and purposefully made it so that others would hear her. As expected, Tang Mei Ling's face when she looked up was filled with shock. While she was leisurely walking out of the classroom, she threw the shocked faces of the students to the back of her mind.
As the exam took place during weekends, the school was quiet. She took out a book and settled herself under a big tree, enjoying the quiet and peaceful moment.
Not even half an hour passed by and hasty footsteps can be heard. Following that, a silhouette heavily fell beside her. Song Ye tilted her body to dodge it and what she saw was Wang Tie Chuan looking like an ant in a hot kettle,
"Song Ye, boss, boss was surrounded again. All our men were taken away."
Wang Tie Chuan looked very worn out. Disregarding the bruises on his face, there are even blood stains on his shirt. It seems like he was beaten up quite badly.
"What happened?"
Song Ye closed the book up but she still had a very calm face and did not even show any indications of moving her body.
Wang Tie Chuan held onto his ribs and explained everything while stuttering,
"It's the Earth Tiger Gang. Last time boss had, -had offended them. As their members were injured, and so they are here for that. Boss had blocked the dagger that was aimed towards me and so I managed to escape. But, I don't know who to look for…"
For reasons unknown to him, he remembered the moment Song Ye had saved him at the slope, and without thinking much, he just ran towards the school.
After he had said all of that and calmed down, he then dejectedly lowered his head. Even if Song Ye knew how to fight, the ones they are against are a gangster. It is not something students like them can deal with.
This was the first time Wang Tie Chuan had felt that the gap between him and legit gangsters were so wide that it was unreachable for him.
While he was still feeling lost, there was movement beside him. After the sound of clothing rubbing against each other can be heard, a cold voice said above his head,
"Let's go, lead the way."
Wang Tie Chuan raised his head while still feeling dejected. He squinted his eyes at the shadow that was illuminated by the sunlight. He barely was able to see Song Ye's chin and the deep gaze that was lowered down. The gaze made him felt shocked and hurriedly stood up,
"Over here, they went to the river side."
Song Ye followed behind him all the way, and when they were near the riverside, they can hear the sound people make when they were having fun and the sound of someone being beaten up and shouted at. When they looked over, they saw a bunch of young men with colorful hair surrounding Xu Zi Hang and his companion in the middle to be trampled and played with.
"Haha! Xu Zi Hang, Young Master Xu. You never would've thought that you would have such a day, did you? Since you had ran away last time, let's see who will be able to save you this time."
CHAPTER 35- XU ZI HANG, SURROUNDED
The strong having an advantage over the weak was something that happens no matter the generation, and the location seemed almost like it was pretty much fixed. This sort of location provides the geographical advantage of showing one's creativity, no one can hear no matter how loud the screaming was, and so, the freedom of teaching someone a lesson was granted.
As mentioned, one of Xu Zi Hang's brother was kicked in the butt right into the river. As the young men had fun doing this, they began to laugh out loud.
And among the ones laughing happily, Song Ye recognized someone with just a glance.
When she was listening to Wang Tie Chuan, she guessed that it was a continuation of the incident in the residential house. And the delinquents that acted as her training dummies might have accounted that onto Xu Zi Hang.
In the end, it was not unrelated to her. And now that Wang Tie Chuan had come pleaded for help, she will just take this as training while doing a good deed.
With his arm in a bandage swing , Xiao Dao acted all high and mighty,
"Xu Zi Hang, once I've had my fun, I will hand you over to Zheng Ge. He had said that if you were to be handed over to him, he will reward the brothers with twenty thousand. If I had known that you were worth this much, I would've kidnapped you earlier."
Hearing the amount of twenty thousand, greediness showed in the eyes of the young men around them. At this time and age, that was considered a very large sum.
Xu Zi Hang held onto his stomach, but his pale face showed no sign of being weak,
"I dare you to kill me now, or else..."
Squinting his eyes, he pounced over when no one noticed. Grabbing onto a stone, he hit it onto Xiao Dao's chest.
"Aaahh!!"
Xiao Dao felt the pain and the other underlings that had just noticed what happened and reacted by apprehending him. Following that, another round of punches and kicks rain onto him.
Xiao Dao had only regain his composure after a while. Seeing that Xu Zi Hang still refusing to give in, his eyes became red out of anger,
"Good, I see that you're still very wild. Grab onto him, I'm going turn him into a cripple and see how wild he can get after that."
He had his arm broken that day and until now, the arm was still in a cast. Whenever he remembered about it he began to fume with anger. But no matter how, he was just unable to search for the bitch that did this to him. and now that, Xu Zi Hang had fallen in to his hands, don't blame him for being cruel.
"Fuck, Xu Ge..."
Seeing one of his hands being placed on a rock, Wang Tie Chuan felt so aggravated that he began to sweat profusely, rolling his sleeve and was about to rush over.
Just after one step forward, his face was covered by a piece of clothing,
"Take this."
A cold voice giving him an order could be heard. By the time Wang Tie Chuan had removed the shirt off his face, he saw Song Ye's slender silhouette walking farther away.
Xu Zi Hang was being held down all this time, and now with his hand about to be crushed, it would be a lie to say that he was not afraid. But his pride did not allow him to plead. It was only a hand, it will be alright as long as he can bear it.
"Hehe, now I want to see, how long your pride can hold on."
Holding onto the stone and with a cold smile on his face, Xiao Dao was about to slam it down but at that time his shoulder was tapped on. He subconsciously turned his head back and saw an exquisite and pretty face.
"Who..." are you?
Before he could finish his words, that person began to move. Grabbing onto his wrist, it was twisted quickly. Crack crack. A clear and familiar sound appear continuously. By the time he regained his senses, the pain had already reached the depth of his bones,
"AAAAHhhh!!"
"Hey, long time no see."
Song Ye squatted down and greeted him with calm eyes. As she felt that explaining it was a hassle, perhaps acting it out would help him remember it more deeply.
As expected, Xiao Dao slouched on the ground. Without both his hands able to exert any strength, eyes staring at Song Ye contained the familiar fear,
"It's you!"
This familiar technique, this perverted torturing method. Other than the bitch in the residential house, there won't ever be another person that would do the same thing.
Song Ye nodded her head and openly admitted it. As she stood back up, she stepped onto his hand with the momentum and another Crack could be heard, making the curses of latter turned into screams of pain.
Maybe because the scream was too impactful, or maybe the wind by the river side was too cold, everyone felt shivers down their spine.
"Who are you?"
The other hooligans stepped back three times together and warily looked at the pretty face that appeared all of a sudden.
Xiao Dao was in so much pain that he fainted, Song Ye walked towards Xu Zi Hang and stopped beside him and pointed at him,
"Will you let us go just like this, or do you want to have a fight first?"
Her tone was so calm that it felt like she was brimming with arrogance. The tone that felt like it was talking about the weather had made Xu Zi Hang sit up to observe her and her surroundings. After a while, he gritted his teeth while asking in a soft voice,
"Where are the others?"
He asked it carefully, but Song Ye was pretty open about it,
"I came here alone."
At that moment, Xu Zi Hang's underlings blanked out, the hooligans in the opposition numbering more than ten also blanked out. They then looked around and laughed loudly,
"You dared to come and pick a fight even though you're just a pretty face. Hahaha, brothers, let's have fun with him slowly."
When she heard the words 'pretty face', Song Ye frowned unhappily. Although she was fair and was wearing a white shirt, it does not mean others should simply categorize her as such just from that.
But her frown was seen as being scared to others. And Xu Zi Hang who knew that she was a girl felt an extreme headache. He forced himself to stand up,
"What are you doing here alone, just go!"
He originally thought Song Ye had came prepared, but in the end she was just someone that was dragging their feet. If they found out that Song Ye was a girl, it would be really bad.
Song Ye looked at the boy that was covered in dust. He looked like he could topple over after being blown by the wind but he still acted strong and she acknowledged him for it. Circling over him and standing in front of everyone, Song Ye rolled her sleeve and at the same time, she answered his question earlier,
"I alone is enough."
What? Xu Zi Hang was confused and before he could understand her words, the girl beside him had moved fast as lightning. The hooligans on the other side had been beaten down before they could see anything clearly.
"AAahhh!!"
Screams of pain could be heard, and the sounds of bones breaking followed. With that, all the hooligans had fallen amidst the chaos.
Xu Zi Hang watched it with his mouth agape and finally understood what she had meant. Just when he felt admiration, he saw a hooligan behind Song Ye's back had taken out a dagger. At that moment his heart jumped,
"Song Ye, careful."
Before he could even finish his words, Song Ye had already turn her body and grabbed onto that person's wrist. Flipping her fingertips, the dagger lightly fell into her hand. As the slender arm raise and dropped, blood could be seen and the dagger was thrust deeply into that person's shoulder.
As the smell of blood wafted, everyone's movement turned slow. Seeing how cruel Song Ye could be, all the hooligans felt their scalp going numb and escaped right after.
"AAhhh…. Don't…. Don't kill me….. Please…. Ahh… Please, I beg you…."
The hooligan that had a dagger thrust into his shoulder begged on the ground painfully and groveled in front of Song Ye, his face pale as paper.
"I heard that, all of you belong to the Earth Tiger Gang."
Song Ye's face was calm but as she was speaking, her hand caressed the dagger, the threat was apparent in her action.
CHAPTER 36- THE RIGHT TO FOLLOW ME
Song Ye was unable to interrogate anything out at the residential house at that time as all these sandbags had fainted. And now that she had chanced upon them once again, naturally, she will not let this chance go. The hooligans were around twenty, tall and when they heard Song Ye mentioned about the Earth Tiger Gang, their scared little heart settled down a bit,
"Yeah, we're from the Earth Tiger Gang. If you understood that, let us all go, or not Zheng Ge… Zheng Ge… AAahh!"
Before he could finish his threat, moving her fingers slightly, Song Ye pulled out the dagger with a swish and the hooligan screamed in pain. Xu Zi Hang and the others who were watching from the back shivered as they saw the bloodshed. The one that committed all this violence still had a calm expression,
"I don't like to listen to trash, talk. When I ask, you answer. Got it?"
When the dagger was placed on the other shoulder, the delinquent looked at the girl in front of him as if he was looking at a monster and held his scream and breathe in. This woman was f*cking ruthless. When the surrounding had gone quiet, Song Ye then continued to ask:
"Where is the Earth Tiger Gang's hideout?"
"At… at Number 131 Yun Street."
"The time your boss will appear there."
"Every night, Zheng Ge has a woman there, he will be there at night."
"Is there any other power supporting Earth Tiger Gang?"
"N…no the Earth Tiger Gang is founded by Zheng Ge. Our territory in Yun Cheng was all fought by Zheng Ge with his fist."
The interrogation went smoothly for now, but Song Ye still raised her head to look towards Xu Zi Hang inquiring if what he said was true. Xu Zi Hang nodded his head,
"Mmn, it's basically true, but the reason why their leader Zhou Zheng can control all those territories is not because of his strength, but the drugs that were bought off the black market. Underneath the bar that they control, a lot of girls were tricked because of that."
At that point, Xu Zi Hang's eyes flashed red and he looked agitated. Relating to what he said, it might be because someone he knew was tricked as well.
Drugs...
Song Ye's eyes moved a little and her calm gaze landed onto the hooligan once again,
"You need to pay for the price of lying."
The hooligan shivered and was about to cry out in fear,
"Please don't kill me, we…we were forced to do this. We can't mention anything about it, if we talked about it, Zheng Ge won't let us go."
"But, I will also not let you go for lying."
Song Ye spun the dagger, she had no intention of letting him go just like that,
"I remembered that when a person enters a gang, there is a ritual where they need to accept the punishment of Three Stabs. Let me teach you what you need to go through when you're a gangster."
Once she finished her sentence, under the fearful eyes of the hooligan, the dagger was stabbed into the other shoulder. When the hooligan was about to scream in pain, Song Ye blocked his mouth with a rock. And the third stab was pierced into the thigh of that person. He was in so much pain that he lost consciousness.
With such a bloody scene in front of their eyes, even for Xu Zi Hang who called himself the leader of the delinquents had also gone pale. They had never seen someone so cruel.
As the one who did all that, Song Ye released her grip and wiped off the blood on her hand with a tissue. The white shirt and pants were clean as ever, but that exquisite and fair face was so calm that it was eerie. She took the outer garment off of Wang Tie Chuan and turned to walk away.
"Wait."
Xu Zi Hang called out to her before he can react. Song Ye stopped in her tracks but did not turn back.
The distance between the two of them are not more than two meters. Xu Zi Hang used to think that Song Ye is not suitable to be in their circle, but now it seemed like what he did was mere child's play and was not suited for someone like Song Ye. Remembering what happened before, Xu Zi Hang opened his mouth once again,
"Song Ye, you are going to pick a fight with the Earth Tiger Gang?"
"It has nothing to do with you."
Song Ye coldly spat those words out. Xu Zi Hang was stupefied. He had never thought that there would be a day where he would be rejected. Last time, it was him who gave no good response to Song Ye, and now that he got the same reaction, it was fair. As he thought that, he walked up two steps,
"I have grudges to settle with the Earth Tiger Gang and since you have the ability to get rid of them, me and all the other brothers will follow you."
This time around, Song Ye moved and tilted her head to look at him with her calm and deep eyes. After a while, she then replied:
"You might not have the qualification to follow me."
Since the Earth Tiger Gang had a hand in drugs, that must mean that they had certain power in the underground society and a delinquent like Xu Zi Hang is still too inexperienced.
Xu Zi Hang's face turned bad from being shot down and was unable to utter anything for a while. Until Song Ye was about to leave again, he then gritted his teeth and continued,
"My younger sister was killed by Zhou Zheng with those drugs. As long as you give me the chance, I will kill him myself to prove my capability."
At this point, Song Ye finally understood the grudge between Xu Zi Hang and the Earth Tiger Gang. Looking at the hatred from his eyes, she decided to give him the chance,
"Throw him back to Yun Street and include a note that says 'I will go and clean the Earth Tiger Gang up tonight'."
"Okay."
Xu Zi Hang slightly closed his eyes and sent Song Ye off with his gaze. Under the cold wind, that slender body looked so fragile, as if it was a flower that couldn't even bear the breeze. But at that moment, in Xu Zi Hang's heart, that back has become his support and belief.
In the hazy night with weak lighting, the temperature of Yun Street had gone down slightly. A thin mist had covered the street and not many pedestrians could be spotted, only rows of street lights cast a dark shadow onto the ground.
Number 131 Yun Street was the liveliest place tonight, and Zhou Zheng would usually call his underlings over in groups to this place and the bustle would keep on going until dawn. But tonight, a tense atmosphere can be felt within the liveliness.
In the garden of the mansion, more than ten underlings with heavy injuries sat on the chair and they did not dare to even breathe heavily. With a loud pang, the sound of glass shattering can be heard from the lounge chair.
"In Yun Cheng, daring to go against me and injured this many people, I will make sure that they won't be able to return if they come!"
The one sitting on the lounge chair was the leader of Earth Tiger Gang, Zhou Zheng. Although his name seems to be the name of a proper man, he had a despicable face befitting that of a bad guy. In his early years, he had harmed women, young and old alike to build his power. With his cruel way of doing things, everyone within the same field had avoided him the best that they can.
The time when Xu Zi Hang was kidnapped was done as a secret commission, but who would've thought that a sudden change in event occurred and he, himself had been humiliated by the hands of a kid.
"Xiao Dao, is the girl that you mentioned that powerful?"
Zhou Zheng did not believe it at all, especially when the underlings reported to him that the one who injured them this much was a mere girl. Xiao Dao, with both his arms hanging, was still shivering,
"Zheng Ge, it's her, that woman's way of doing things are very cruel. Breaking my hand with just one strike, it's her."
Looking at his state, Zhou Zheng snorted,
"Useless. I would like to see, how many tricks she has up her sleeves."
After saying so, the fire alarm in the mansion rang out suddenly. The alarm had shocked everyone. Turning his head back, Zhou Zheng saw fire blazing from the master room and his heart fell,
"F*ck, quickly extinguish the fire!"
CHAPTER 37- OBLITERATING EARTH TIGER GANG
Song Ye sneaked out of the mansion with the fuel bottle still in her hand. When she turned to the main entrance to gather with Xu Zi Hang and the others, they had all stared at the mansion in disbelief.
"….. This is your doing?"
Xu Zi Hang turned to stare at Song Ye who was walking over and swallowed his saliva, asking her with some difficulty.
"Mmn."
Song Ye nodded and handed the things to Yun Hua who was standing at the side,
"Zhou Zheng had gone to extinguish the fire, and so part of the manpower was delegated. So we can enter now. Oh right, take this, Zhou Zheng might have a gun on him."
When Xu Zi Hang heard the word 'gun' and looked at the black thing that was in his hand at that moment, he got so taken aback that he almost dropped it.
He had never shot a gun before.
Song Ye was also not hopeful that he would be able to pull the trigger and led them in front,
"Get used to it first, I will teach all of you how to use it later."
"Song Ye."
Standing beside her, Yun Hua looked anxious. She had never thought that the next meeting that they will have after she made that decision and receiving a call from Song Ye will be participating in a fight.
Song Ye who had walked infront stopped. Her usual fast pace had almost left Yun Hua behind. Turning her head to look at Yun Hua that had no offensive capability, she ordered her:
"You're in charge of looking out for us, contact me if there's anything."
Yun Hua gripped onto the fuel bottle tightly and nodded her head heavily,
"I will do my best."
It was the first time Xu Zi Hang and the others meet Yun Hua. Although they felt curious, Song Ye did not introduce her to them, and they themselves also were in no mood to chat with her as they were about to be in a fight.
With a bang, the huge door was kicked down and Song Ye led them in with a knife in her hand. The brothers that followed behind did not back down and followed her lead. Under the light illuminated from the fire, it had made the whole scene appear to be like the Hong Kong movie "Young and Dangerous". As it was now the era when Hong Kong movies were the trend, when all the young boys had a passionate heart of becoming a hero.
The blood that Song Ye shed when she swung the knife down had opened up a bloody path for the young boys. Xu Zi Hang was not someone that had ever slashed someone with a knife before, and brawling had become a daily occurrence for him; but it was a first for him to go all out without a care for the other's life.
At first, he was scared that he was unable to do it, but after slashing the first person, he remembered what Song Ye had said before charging in,
"When facing the enemies, it is either you die or they die."
From thereon, the blood flashing in front of his eyes were not scary anymore. The other boys that were in this bloody war had also understood one thing, if there was fear inside their heart, the next open to block the knife swinging down would be another brother.
Luckily, in their first movement, they had Song Ye taking charge of it. Even though they only had more than ten people against few tens of people, they still overwhelmed their opponents.
When Zhou Zheng had moved the safety box down, he had only realized that he had fallen into the enemy's trap. When he wanted to run out to support, Song Ye had thrown out another fuel bottle that no one knew where she has gotten out from, to the door. The fire in front of the door instantly went up more than one meter and blocked all the people inside the mansion.
"Quick, report, report to the authorities for fire hazard!"
Zhou Zheng looked at the thick smoke that rushed down from above the stairs, with the door blocked, he became so agitated he began to shout from the top of his lungs. It is not the time to care about his pride when compared to being burned inside the mansion. From over the wall of fire, a cold voice sounded,
"I had disconnected the telephone cable."
What? Zhou Zheng's heart pumped and when he raised his head, he saw a pair of eyes as deep as the abyss. From the blazing fire, that exquisite face had appeared to be even more otherworldly,
"Who are you?"
Song Ye did not answer him. Chatting up in this situation appeared to be needless. She stood in front of the door, with an expressionless face,
"You only have two choice, either to beg for your life or to die."
"You..."
Zhou Zheng gritted his teeth and he really wanted to swear. But when he looked to the corner of his eyes, he saw Earth Tiger's brothers were lying behind her. He can smell the blood even though they were a distance away. He suddenly remembered about Xiao Dao's fearful look and he then understood that the word cruel was not an empty word at all.
"Boss, cough, what should we do?"
As the smoke became thicker and thicker, more and more brothers began to cough and hurriedly ask for his thoughts. Zhou Zheng said nothing as he gritted his teeth. Asking him to beg to a kid, what a joke. Possibly sensing his reluctance, Song Ye took out another fuel bottle calmly,
"The firefighters will only arrive at most fifteen minutes later. If you work under me, you won't have to die with him."
"No!"
All of them looked at the fuel bottle in horror and their heart had even jumped to their throat. Without any hesitation, some began to show that they will work under her,
"I beg, I don't want to die."
"Me too."
"Same here."
...
When there's one, there will be more following along. As the saying goes: when a large group of people committed something that is not legal or not reasonable, it will be difficult for even the law to punish them. Once there was an opening, this sort of behavior where they betray to survive had left Zhou Zheng in an isolated position. He agitatedly kicked at the underling beside him and took out a gun. With a fierce face:
"If you dare to betray me, I will end your life here and now!"
The black barrel of the gun had made everyone not dared to move a single step, and even Xu Zi Hang and the others that was behind the fire wall had also hid themselves warily.
Looking at Zhou Zheng taking out the gun, Song Ye slightly closed her eyes and said:
"Wait for a while, I will let all of you out soon."
Zhou Zheng's brows shot up and spatted,
"You're still too young to fight with me, you brat. Hurry and let me out!"
As he was shouting, a few pails of water came splashing down and extinguished the fire. Smoke began to shoot up and the smell of something burnt can be smelt. Zhou Zheng's face was smoked to the point it went black.
When he saw the escape route, he wasted no time and dashed out with a gun on his hand. Borrowing the light from the moon, he looked around. But just when he had only moved twice, something cold and hard was rested on his temple. A cold and slow voice could be heard from beside him,
"Are you looking for me?"
Zhou Zheng's body trembled slightly. Looking to the side out of the corner of his eye, what was rested on his temple was a gun; but the face of the girl beside him was calm, and her eyes were so cold that it made him feel like he was plunged into an ice cellar.
"Let's…let's have a talk."
With his life in the hands of others, Zhou Zheng did not dare to act rashly,
"There is no grudge between us. If you wanted my territory, we can share it between us, there's no need to make it this big."
Song Ye did not want to listen to him talking nonsense and the gun was pushed a little further, saying:
"This gun, where did you get it?"
"It's, it's from the black market."
Seeing that Song Ye couldn't be persuaded, he was unable to determine her goal and hurriedly add on:
"I heard that it was brought in from the outside of this province. They sell guns because they had no money."
Song Ye hummed in her heart. She had obtained new information. She reached out and took away Zhou Zheng's gun, kicking him in front of Xu Zi Hang,
"I shall leave the remaining business to you."
A moment ago, Xu Zi Hang was watching them fight with the gun, and in the next moment, he saw his enemy in front of him. Without thinking, he kicked Zhou Zheng to his heart's content.
CHAPTER 38- THE TOP STUDENT OF SAN ZHONG
Bang bang bang...
The sound of knuckles punching into flesh reverberated within the empty yard. Xu Zi Hang threw his dagger aside and punched him to vent out the deep grudge in his heart. The cool image that he used to put up had disappeared into the night. From Song Ye's point of view, she can even see tears flowing out of the corner of his eyes.
At the end of it all, Zhou Zheng who basically had become a cripple, was raised up by his collar. With eyes that were flashing red, Xu Zi Hang asked,
"Do you remember Xu Zi Ying, who had died in your bar three years ago?"
Although the expression of Zhou Zheng can't be seen due to how badly beaten up he was, at that moment, his emotions could be read as his body went stiff. He raised his head and stared at Xu Zi Hang in astonishment, then found that the young boy in front of him looked similar to the young girl that had died years ago,
"You're her blood relative?"
"That's right."
Xu Zi Hang gritted his teeth and smiled with a furious face,
"Its' been three years. I can finally, help her get her revenge."
After the word 'revenge' came out of his mouth, his rationality was broken as if it was burned by it. He lowered his body and grabbed the dagger on the ground. Under the fearful gaze of everyone around, the dagger was swung down... The copper smell of blood lingered in the air as blood gushed out, quickly forming a pool of blood. The remaining underlings of the Earth Tiger Gang felt fearful seeing the head of their leader decapitated.
Song Ye kept the gun into her pocket and turned towards the huge door. As she went past the corpses, she issued her first order after taking over the Earth Tiger Gang,
"To show your loyalty, all the business here shall be left in your care. Within a week, I want all the members of Earth Tiger Gang to know that this Yun Cheng is the Night Gang's jurisdiction."
The Night Gang. The Ye Gang.*
It was the inspiration that Song Ye had when she saw Xu Zi Hang kill Zhou Zheng. Since there were people that can be used, why not utilize them and make it big. After being reborn, she was reluctant to live her life being mediocre. In this long life ahead, do allow her, to mess up the rules of the world.
From the moment Zhou Zheng died, the Night Gang was officially founded. Under the winter moon in the night sky, it was merely a small gang with only more than ten teenage boys. No one could've thought that it would become an existence so huge in Country Z that the whole world wouldn't be shaken up.
After that, Xu Zi Hang was feeling down for a few days and he slowly walked out of the fear of killing someone. When he heard how Chuan Zi and the others took over the Earth Tiger Gang, the admiration that he had towards her climbed up. Coincidentally, four days later, it was the announcement of the result for replacing the empty spot for the third year first class.
The name taking over the first place was neither the top student in second class nor the confident Tang Mei Ling. No one knew who that person was and so, it had become the hottest topic to discuss about.
When the homeroom teacher of third year fifth class received the news, she had thought that he heard it wrongly.
"What? You said the one who was able to advance to the first class is Song Ye? No way, this is impossible."
As she knew Song Ye's academic performance in the past, the homeroom teacher immediately denied the probability of it being true and had even seeked out the invigilator,
"I understood Song Ye's capability, she for sure copied the answer of the other students."
The invigilator from first class is also someone that is prideful. Anger surged as their job was being questioned. They then took out Song Ye's answer sheet and slapped it onto the table,
"Just look at it yourself if you don't believe it. There were more than ten students and Song Ye was the first one to hand in the answer sheet. The marks for her answers are also fifty points higher than the others. Rather than saying that she copied from others, why don't you say that she knew the answers for it."
A few teachers picked up the answer sheet and looked over it carefully and all of them praised Song Ye's answer. There was even a teacher that said sourly,
"With such talent, why is she not in the first class from the beginning? With the entrance examination coming closer and closer, we can't have her talent buried away just like that."
The homeroom teacher for the third year fifth class found herself being choked by blood and almost passed out. In the end, she can only back off as her argument was not sound and picked up the books to head to class. As she arrived at the door, she was almost knocked down by Tang Mei Ling dashing out.
"Class rep Tang, why are you in such a rush?"
The homeroom teacher frowned. The anger she felt in the staff room had yet to subside. Tang Mei Ling's eyes had turned as red as rabbits from crying. She did not notice the homeroom teacher's complexion and complained,
"Teacher, all of us know the capability of Song Ye. What right does she have to enter first class? Is it that she used her relationship with some other people? I saw that she did not even answer the questions seriously."
Used her relationship...
When those words were said, the homeroom teacher was so freaked out that she began to break into cold sweat and hurriedly reprimanded her,
"Class rep Tang, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Without noticing their surroundings, how can she arbitrarily say those words? As it was the time for classes to start, all the teachers had packed all their things and were preparing for their classes. Tang Mei Ling's words were heard by a few of the teachers from first class. All of their faces darkened and with fake smiles plastered on their face:
"So that's how all the students in fifth class were educated, I see. Class rep Tang used to appear to be quite the obedient one, who would've thought that she had all those thoughts within her. Tang Mei Ling, all of us had no relation to Song Ye. And since you don't believe the marks she obtained for her answers, I will disclose her answer sheet onto the notice board so that you can learn a thing or two from her."
People that were educated and cultured knew how to use their words and never scold others with vulgar words. All the words said had insinuated how inappropriate the homeroom teacher was and Tang Mei Ling's fallacy. On the same day, the teacher from the first class really disclosed Song Ye's answer. Countless students gave a thumbs up as they saw the perfect answers and handwriting so neat that it seemed like it was printed out. This coincidental accident had made Song Ye surged into popularity and became the top student of San Zhong.
On the morning for the second day, Wang Tie Chuan had even purposefully called Xu Zi Hang over to watch the drama unfolding, stating that it was to witness how Song Ye turned over from her shameful past.
As he was heading there, Xu Zi Hang heard about how much of a coward Song Ye used to be and how much injustice she had faced. As he was arriving at the classroom door, he saw Song Ye walking out with her bag over her shoulder. The homeroom teacher was standing by the door along with Tang Mei Ling. Wang Tie Chuan had thought that since the protagonist is now here, it is time for the curtain to fall. He then said this as if he did not process his words at all,
"Yo, you're leaving already, Song Ye? Why don't I and the teacher send you off?"
Pffft…..
At that time, snickers can be heard from the spectators. The homeroom teacher was putting up a smiling face after some effort had gone stiff. The gamble on that day was heard by everyone in the class. Now that Song Ye had successfully entered the first class, the homeroom teacher's pride had shattered. Her ability to stand by the classroom entrance was the most that she can tolerate, she had never thought that Wang Tie Chuan would suddenly spout those words.
Song Ye was really impressed with Wang Tie Chuan's courage. She raised her head to look to the front and saw Xu Zi Hang and the others were standing there. Nodding her head, her gaze fell onto the homeroom teacher who was standing by the classroom entrance. Saying so courteously,
"I thank the teacher for sending me off, goodbye."
CHAPTER 39-XU ZI HANG FANCLUB
Song Ye is pragmatic. If she can solve it with action, she won't bother to debate; if she can solve it with words, she won't use any vulgar words. And so, after she greeted them generously with a good demeanor, she walked towards third year class one with light footsteps under the dismal expression of the homeroom teacher and Tang Mei Ling.
Meeting Xu Zi Hang after a few days, he had become thinner. Now that he had returned to his princely image, he had attracted the attention of countless people along the way and had let the fame of Song Ye who a new student of class one to raise up. Even before reaching the classroom, all the students of the same year knew that this black horse top student had a relationship with one another.
And Song Ye is not the type of person to shy away from this situation, she had openly let Xu Zi Hang hold onto her bag and had him inform the brothers to go through training,
"Every day after school, I will train each of you one by one. You go and inform the others."
"Okay."
Xu Zi Hang understood Song Ye's combat prowess. When he heard that, his eyes glimmered and he smiled subconsciously.
As they were talking, both of them had reached the classroom's door. A lot of the girls that had been observing secretly had their hearts shattered when they saw Xu Zi Hang's smile. When they looked towards Song Ye, although she had an exquisite and pretty face, she obviously looked like a tomboy, not even a trace of a girl's cuteness can be seen.
The jealousy that sprouted within their hearts had let Song Ye became isolated once again.
And the first one to pick a fight was Xu Zi Hang's scandalous girlfriend, Wang Han.
After completing the in-between class exercise, Song Ye washed her hands in the toilet. When she was about to leave, a group of girls flooded in. Wang Han who was leading the group arrogantly raised her chin and sized up Song Ye. She then laughed mockingly:
"Song Ye, was it? Are you trying to get young master Xu to like you with such a gender-ambiguous appearance? Did you really think that it will get him to feel new and attract his attention?"
Song Ye raised her eyes to look at the face of the other person and suddenly find it to be familiar. When she began to think about it, she then remembered who it was.
"What are you looking at. Keep that disgusting gaze to yourself."
Wang Han deeply furrowed her brows. Her eyes were stung by this exquisite face in front of her and her mood had become worse.
Before that, she still dared to say that she; was the rightful school belle, but now with Song Ye, it was as if a rock had skidded into her heart. It's alright if she's a he, but she just had to be a girl, not to mention she was that close to Xu Zi Hang as well.
Song Ye can see clearly the jealousy within her eyes. She had never thought that she had become a cannon fodder because of Xu Zi Hang. With a cold expression, she explained,
"I have no relationship of any sort with Xu Zi Hang."
"Ha, no relationship? Are you taking me as an idiot? You had young master Xu bring you to class one and even had him take your bag for you. Even a blind person can see that you're trying to get near young master Xu."
Wang Han kept on saying, her anger almost spatted onto Song Ye's face.
Song Ye did not find what she did to be a problem. Having your subordinates to take your things for you is a matter of fact. Since explaining won't do much, she found it to be a hassle to say more and moved her leg to walk out,
"Move."
Wang Han was dumbfounded and was knocked over by Song Ye, causing her to almost tripped and fall. Feeling frustrated, she stretched her hand out, wanting to grab onto Song Ye's hair,
"Stand there, you bitch!"
When Wang Han's hand was only one palm away from that short hair, she was determined to pull even the whole scalp out. But as if there were eyes behind her head, Song Ye ducked her head and grabbed onto her hand. The long fingernails were all within Song Ye's palm. Slightly twisting it, the pain had caused her to yelled in pain and tears drips from her eyes.
"Wang Han, are you okay?"
"Wang Han, how can Song Ye do this to you. She's being too much."
"That's right, Wang Han. Look, even your fingernails had also broken."
The girls around all went to support Wang Han. All of them had a concerned and respectful face towards Wang Han. Although they were reprimanding Song Ye, no one had really gone up to do anything towards Song Ye.
This might be the weak side of ganging up in schools. They wanted to show their prowess, but at the same time, they were afraid of the school's punishment. They followed the trend, but at the same time, they wanted to ensure that they won't be caught.
Song Ye was not interested in such child play. Turning her head and seeing the teary Wang Han, she left such sentence lightly,
"Your preference in your hand and your clothes are the same, they are bad."
That's right, Wang Han was the unreasonable girl who was picking a fight with Song Ye when she headed the shopping mall for the first time. Who would've thought that the world can be so small, meeting the person who had a grudge towards her yet again.
After Song Ye had finished stimulating her, she then walked away and left Wang Han who had a shocked expression to feel frustrated by herself.
Song Ye, I will never forgive you.
In the evening after school, Yun Hua called her to inform her that the cleaning of Earth Tiger Gang had gone smoothly and asked if she wanted to have a celebration for it.
Song Ye thought about it and had Yun Hua reserved a table. She then led the boys to the restaurant where the Song family banquet was held before.
Within the room with expensive decorations, all the boys felt curious. Wang Tie Chuan and the others were all of normal family background, so they had never entered such a high-end restaurant before. They looked around and at times even exclaimed.
Among them, only Song Ye and Xu Zi Hang were the calmest.
Song Ye was someone from fifteen years later, so she was used to this. As for Xu Zi Hang... She saw him holding his cup of tea decently and pretended to ask him unknowingly:
"Last time Zhou Zheng was requested to catch you for twenty thousand. Do you know who was the one that requested it?"
Xu Zi Hang blanked for a moment and he frowned, as if he was hesitating over something. After a while, he then nodded,
"I have an idea who it was. It might be someone who held a grudge against my father."
"Oh?"
Song Ye's tone went up and felt interested in it. From the first time she saw Xu Zi Hang, she knew that this person's family background was not simple, and the kidnap this time had ascertained it. But,
"Since you're of the Night Gang, tell me if you have any trouble."
Xu Zi Hang was dumbfounded for a moment. He then showed a smile after a short while,
"Alright."
After killing Zhou Zheng, he had owed Song Ye. If she had wanted to ask about it, he would not hide any facts about it. But Song Ye stopped asking at that moment and did not bother to even know more. Xu Zi Hang found himself feeling touched by that.
This was the first time that he felt that Song Ye was not as cold as she had appeared to be and felt thankful that he was able to walk beside her.
When all the dishes had arrived, Song Ye substituted the tea for alcohol. Raising the cup:
"Today is the day the Night Gang is founded officially. From now onward, everyone is part of the Night Gang."
Everyone had thought that they are only here today to eat, but when they heard that, their hearts were filled with passion. Xu Zi Hang stood up and led them, devotion can be seen from his face,
"From now onward, we exist along with the Night Gang."
"Yes, we exist along with the Night Gang."
"We exist along with the Night Gang."
More than ten cups were raised and the sound of cups clinking could be heard. Song Ye looked at the boys' proud face and felt warmth within her heart.
Compared to the organization that recruits talented people, starting everything from scratch and climbing up slowly felt more interesting.
CHAPTER 40- THE OFFICIAL FOUNDATION OF NIGHT GANG
Song Ye had only officially introduced Yun Hua to Xu Zi Hang and the others on this banquet.
"Yun Jie will help me out in regards to the gang's affair. Whenever I'm not available, Xu Zi Hang and Yun Jie will be the ones in charge."
Song Ye had predicted that she will travel to different places in the future and will not stay in one place, and so, raising close aids as soon as possible is more important.
Both of them greeted one another and shook hands. As for Xu Zi Hang, he was curious as to who Yun Hua was to Song Ye, to have her brought in. She had no combat abilities and the way she dealt with the gang affairs was unnatural, so she might be someone who wasn't in the circle before. With all that said, it was a mystery as to why she had followed Song Ye in founding the Night Gang.
The question was in his head until the day they were on the training grounds. Looking at how decisive and cruel she was, he had finally believed that the blood flowing within Yun Hua is the same type of blood as Song Ye.
"Now that Zhou Zheng has died, the few tens of underlings get their job done pretty quickly. We now have five night clubs and bars. The process is smooth since no one retaliated."
While eating, Yun Hua reported all the recent happenings to Song Ye. As Song Ye was eating, she replied to some of it, no happiness can be seen from her face. This had made Xu Zi hang feel curious and he tilted his head over to Song Ye who's expression was difficult to read,
"Did you predict this ending from the beginning? Although the members of Earth Tiger Gang is not considered a lot, they were still involved in all sorts of businesses, so all sorts of people are mixed within the gang. But now that Zhou Zheng had died, isn't it a bit too easy, considering no one had retaliated?"
In fact, including the men that were guarding the main territory, Earth Tiger Gang has about a thousand members, which was the reason why Xu Zi Hang did not dare to move simply. He had never thought that with only a few days, Song Ye had even their territories in her hands.
"That's right, Song Ye -no, boss. This is really unbelievable, the whole of Earth Tiger Gang was done in by only more than ten of us. It is hard to believe."
Wang Tie Chuan corrected his way of addressing Song Ye and leaned over as he asked about it, wanting to learn more from Song Ye. Seeing all of them feeling interested in it, she then explained to them patiently,
"They were afraid. Zhou Zheng has drugs and firearms under his control, but he had died just like that. Yun Cheng is only a small town, with only a gun, you can basically do whatever you want in the city. The more mysterious the Night Gang appears to be, the easier it is to get things done."
This was the reason why she did not pull the trigger and did not use her own subordinates to take over the territories. With her checking out the underground market when the situation had become stable, the rewards returned will be higher than the efforts she gave out.
Listening to this analysis, everyone can't help but give Song Ye a 'like'.
"So in the end, brains are also needed along with the brawns."
Everyone felt astonished, and was even more impressed with Song Ye, who is their leader. After finishing their meal, Song Ye led them to the abandoned residential area by the outskirts of town. She had planned to have the abandoned residential area to be their temporary training ground.
At the moment where everyone found the atmosphere to be shabby, Song Ye opened her bag and poured out more than ten guns. Seeing that, everyone's eyes were about to pop out.
"Where, where did all of these come from?"
Wang Tie Chuan swallowed his saliva. He had almost bit his own tongue. Song Ye picked up a gun and handed it over to him, with a face showing no care about it:
"From Zhou Zheng's safe."
The reason she had started the fire at that time was that she had touched this item. Guessing that it was important to Zhou Zheng, she had then made the plan to lure him away. Till death, Zhou Zheng could have never guessed that the thing that he had protected with much effort ended up to be an empty safe.
Towards her sinister way of doing things, all of them felt impressed by it. They then chose the weapon that they find suitable for themselves. The boys had felt excited as it was the first time they touched a gun. Just when they were about to try it out, Song Ye turned around surprisingly and dragged all of them to hit the sandbag.
Although the residential house had seemed shabby, different scenery can be seen within it. The sports equipment there is as complete as an outdoor war zone. Song Ye removed her outer garment and only wore a refreshing singlet. Her calm face contained a dignity that will not allow refusal,
"All of you should train as long as I did. If the same standard cannot be reached within a month, they will not be allowed to train using the guns."
Although it was an order, all the boys were energetic regarding it. No matter how capable Song Ye was, she was only a girl. With them losing to her when it comes to fists, it would be hurting their pride if they couldn't beat her when it comes to stamina. Betting on that, all of them used all their force when punching the sandbag. As they were beating it, they heard Song Ye's instructions,
"Every time you punch it, the sandbag needs to tilt forty-five degrees and adjust your breathing. Notice the rhythm of the punches and control the strength exerted by your muscles."
These instructions that seemed useless was not heeded by the boys in the beginning. In the end, they had somehow held on for an hour with only their brute force and was now laying on the ground due to tiredness. While sweating profusely, all of them looked at Song Ye as she hit the sandbag mechanically, feeling dejected.
In the end, Song Ye had also felt so tired she lied on the ground after two hours. Since it was the body of a fifteen-year-old that had never gone through intense training, she was not able to hold out for too long as well.
Maybe due to the enforcement of the supernatural ability, her body had not shown any signs of fatigue on the second day. With her body feeling light as a feather, she went to school just to see her subordinates that were like zombies in front of the school gate.
After exercise, their body muscles were aching and all their limbs were stiff. This was the most common symptom. Any active fifteen-year-old boys will not be able to handle the extreme intensive exercise. And now all of them had quite a pale face.
Regardless, Song Ye still found that to be insufficient. When they passed by the basketball court, seeing that the weather was quite nice, she then announced,
"Let's have a friendly match after school. The winning team will have their training time decrease by half an hour."
In between great suffer and decreased training, the boys competed with their life on the line, attracting countless girls and boys over to spectate and cheer for them. Among the cheering crowd, the one who had the greatest amount of fans cheering belonged to none other than the school prince Xu Zi Hang.
"Keep it up, Xu Shao*!"
"Xu Shao, you're the best!"
...
Within the passionate cheers, Cu Zi Hang's complexion was becoming worse and worse. Who asked him to hold onto such a great title. Even though his body is about to break apart, he still has to keep up his good image due to that.
Very quickly, among the boys that looked like a bunch of old men, an extraordinarily agile shadow can be found. Under the sunlight, the slender body had a loose sports T-shirt on them.
The stature that was slightly smaller had movements as nimble as a snake. From their movements, the large basketball appeared like a toy within their hands. What attracted the attention the most is the fair and exquisite face. With sweat on their face, they appeared to be so beautiful as if they were a prince that came out of a comic. The girls by the court had once again become excited.
"Ah, which class are they from. So good looking!"
"It's surprising that other than Xu Shao, there's still such a handsome boy who is even more pretty than a girl."
...
Although Song Ye's name was known upon entering class one, not many people actually relate that face with that name together. Since it was her purpose to confuse the mass with the face that made her appeared to be ambiguous. But there were so many people in the school. For sure, there will be one or two of them that knew Song Ye. For example, the Wang Han who had rushed over with a towel and a bottle of water, preparing to hand it over to Xu Zi Hang to get his attention.
