Extraordinary Soldier King in the City-Chapter 21 - 0 People You Can’t Afford to Offend

"Chen Feng, just tell me—what did you really do when you left class earlier?" Tang Yuxin asked, looking at Chen Feng with curiosity written all over her face.

"I didn’t do much, I just went to the bathroom and met up with my ’little brother,’ and shook hands with him, that’s all!" Chen Feng said nonchalantly.

"Little brother?"

Tang Yuxin’s delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, her eyes filled with confusion.

It took her about a minute to realize what Chen Feng meant by "little brother."

Embarrassment flushed her fair face, making her look even more charming and adorable.

The boys around them stared in awe; they had never seen Tang Yuxin blush before.

And now, because of Chen Feng, because of this man, she was blushing.

This made those boys, who worshipped Tang Yuxin like a goddess, green with envy as they glared daggers at Chen Feng.

If looks could kill, Chen Feng would have died hundreds of times over by now.

"Pervert!" Tang Yuxin glared at Chen Feng and chided.

"Eh, how did I become a pervert?" Chen Feng replied, looking innocent.

"How are you not a pervert? If you went to the bathroom, you just went to the bathroom. But saying you shook hands with your ’little brother’... that’s definitely pervert behavior! Humph, I’m not talking to you anymore!"

Tang Yuxin pouted, huffed, and then stood up swiftly, pulling Lin Mengyao as they quickly walked out of the classroom.

Just before they left the classroom, Lin Mengyao turned her head and gave Chen Feng a cold glare as if she truly was looking at a pervert.

This left Chen Feng speechless.

It was Tang Yuxin who had asked him in the first place, and he had told the truth, so how did he end up a pervert?

In that moment, Chen Feng recalled what an old comrade always told him.

Never argue with women, because their logic is just incomprehensible.

No matter how right you are, in front of women, you’re always wrong.

Thinking it over, he realized how true these words were.

Chen Feng helplessly shrugged his shoulders.

It seemed that being too honest wasn’t the way to go. If he had just said he was admiring the scenery in the bathroom, none of this would have happened.

Now not only was he deemed a pervert by Tang Yuxin, but it seemed Lin Mengyao’s impression of him had worsened too. How long would it take to complete his task now?

At this thought, Chen Feng felt a headache coming on.

"Chen Feng, are you in there?"

Just as Chen Feng was wallowing in his dismay, a familiar voice called out at the classroom door, reaching his ears.

The owner of the voice was none other than Wang Hao, whom Chen Feng had only recently befriended.

"Something up?" Chen Feng asked, looking at Wang Hao.

"Let’s go, I’m treating you to a meal!" Wang Hao beckoned with a wave of his hand.

"Uh... okay then!" Chen Feng hesitated for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

After all, he had to eat lunch anyway, and since he had just arrived at the school today, he didn’t know where the cafeteria was. Having someone to lead the way seemed like a good choice.

So, Chen Feng stood up, left the classroom, and walked with Wang Hao toward the cafeteria.

...

Along the way, Wang Hao glanced at Chen Feng and asked, "Bro, I asked around a bit, and I heard that you’re new here today?"

"Yes!" Chen Feng nodded.

"Then I really need to give you a good lesson. Coastal High School isn’t ordinary—it’s full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. If you’re not careful, you might find yourself in a world of trouble!" Wang Hao suddenly adopted a senior-like attitude, looked at Chen Feng seriously, and said.

"Oh? What kind of lesson?" Chen Feng’s mouth curled into a smile, clearly intrigued.

"Now that you’re at Coastal High School, you must know the few people here you should never mess with!" Wang Hao looked around, then whispered to Chen Feng.

"Who?" Chen Feng asked with a light smile.

"The four big bullies of the school!" Wang Hao’s eyes flashed with fear as he spoke.

"Oh? Sounds interesting!" Chen Feng smiled faintly.

"They’re interesting? I’m telling you, once you really mess with them, you won’t be saying that. These four aren’t easy to deal with—their families are very powerful. Some are super wealthy businessmen, and others have strong connections to the underworld. The scariest ones are those who are both rich and connected to the underworld, playing both sides. You really don’t want to mess with those kind of people; you won’t even know how you died!"

"Like who?" Chen Feng asked indifferently.

"Like Zhong Siquan in your class. He’s one of the last type I mentioned. His family’s Zhong Group is extremely wealthy and a well-known business in LH city, and I’ve heard they also have strong underworld ties. So, you really shouldn’t provoke him, remember that!" Wang Hao warned.

"Okay!" Chen Feng nodded, then looked at Wang Hao and asked with a smile, "Oh, by the way, didn’t you just provoke him this morning? Aren’t you worried about getting in trouble?"

"You’re talking about me? That was a minor incident. He’s already vented his anger on me. I’ll just compensate him with some money later; he probably won’t hold it against me. When I say don’t mess with him, I mean don’t cross his red lines. Do you know what his taboo is?"

Wang Hao, looking around once more to ensure no one was listening, leaned closer to Chen Feng’s ear and continued in a low voice, "It’s Lin Mengyao! Any admirer of Lin Mengyao will face his endless retaliation. You’re in Mengyao’s class, so be very careful not to stir up trouble right from the start. Some women are untouchable!"

"Alright, but seems like you’ve told me too late!" Chen Feng shrugged.

Today, he sat behind Lin Mengyao, beat up Zhong Siquan’s lackey, and doused Zhong Siquan with urine—it probably meant he had completely offended Zhong Siquan, right?

"What do you mean ’too late’?" Wang Hao didn’t quite catch Chen Feng’s implication, looking puzzled.

"Nothing!" Chen Feng shook his head.

Wang Hao was so fearful of Zhong Siquan; if Chen Feng shared what he had done, Wang Hao might just faint from fright, and that wouldn’t be fun.

"Anyway, just remember what I told you. Don’t mess with the four big bullies, especially Zhong Siquan in your class. He’s a ruthless guy, and he’s the closest to you. Be very careful, okay?" Wang Hao urged repeatedly.

After all, Chen Feng had helped him once this morning. Even though Chen Feng liked to "boast" which somewhat annoyed him, he still couldn’t bear to watch Chen Feng walk into trouble.

"I remember, don’t worry. I know my limits!" Chen Feng smiled and nodded.

"Great, let’s hurry up and go eat!"

Saying this, Wang Hao quickened his pace, and the two headed into the cafeteria together...
