Chapter 926: Childhood Days 20

Friday night, during an evening self-study session.

All the grades have already come out, but the students haven't been informed yet.

Song Xu was summoned by Old Cao, who was both the homeroom teacher and a teacher, to organize the test papers, and at the same time he bore the important task of remembering his friend's grades.

Jin Chen kicked forward.

Mu Henian said softly, "I feel my legs are too long; they could be chopped off."

"I'll go out; if Xiao Yu'er comes back, tell him… I went to the dorm to get something."

Having said that, Jin Chen slipped out through the back door.

The discipline committee member wanted to speak but stopped himself.

Mu Henian and Cheng Huai exchanged a glance.

Cheng Huai said, "I think… Jin Chen went to settle that equipment room matter from yesterday."

Mu Henian nodded.

——

【Just turn two more corners inside and you'll get there!】

0731 navigation ended, sucking on a lollipop.

【Host, why do you still need to bring those five along? Wouldn't it be faster to go alone?】

【Arrow shield.】

Jin Chen gave a brief explanation, nimbly vaulted over the residential building's courtyard, and knocked on one of the doors.

"Who is it?" "I don't know, let's take a look."

The soundproofing here isn't great; Jin Chen heard the voice and waited a dozen seconds before the door opened.

Obviously the people inside were also on guard, after all they were carrying 300,000, ill-gotten money.

"How is it you again!"

The bearded man hadn't forgotten the look in that person's eyes when he barged in yesterday—more frightening than a policeman!

"You're not here to… get your watch back, are you?"

Before he finished speaking, the bearded man's eyes widened, he was forced to lift his head, and a dagger pressed against his throat.

"Come in."

Jin Chen kicked, shutting the door.

The room was shabby, with only a broken fan blowing; beer bottles and barbecue were scattered on the table, obviously for a celebration.

The other four people stood up warily, shouting, "What are you doing?!"

"Killing is illegal, you little brat, don't you know that?!"

Jin Chen still held the bearded man, as if he might stab at any moment, yet his expression remained cold.

"Sit down, I didn't come to kill anyone."

Da Liu still clutched the lollipop he'd bought for his sister, hearing this he stepped forward and said, "Then what are you here for? I'll say it straight—we've already sold the watch, and we don't have 300,000."

That watch was a model from a few years ago; they had no receipt, so they could only pawn it at a small shop, ending up with less than 200,000, which had to be split among five people.

Even so, that was a huge sum they could lay their hands on.

"Come to back you up."

Jin Chen glanced at the four people and said, "I'm Song Xu's older brother; he's been bullied, so I have to go teach Zhong Yin and his brother a lesson."

"Life isn't easy for us brothers either; if you go, this money will truly belong to you."

"Then… what if we don't go?"

The shortest little guy asked; Zhong Yin is a girl, so she's naturally not afraid, but her brother is Zhong Jia! Though young, he's killed people and done time!

Jin Chen suddenly curled a smile, cruel and vicious; the dagger had already slit the bearded man's throat, blood flowing out, strikingly visible.

"Ah! Don't!!"

The bearded man was about to kneel from fright.

"If you don't go, tomorrow there will be five headless corpses dumped in the wilderness." Jin Chen still smiled narrowly.

The five people: "……"

Nowadays people are all this perverted?! Ah!

Da Liu: "Go go go! We're going with you!"

"Good brother, you should've said so earlier."

Jin Chen's attitude did a 180‑degree turn; he released the bearded man and slung an arm over his shoulder, "Hurry up and put on your clothes, let's go."

"We… don't need to take weapons?"

"I said, you just need to hold the scene."

Jin Chen patted his chest, "My politics grades are excellent; I'm very trustworthy."

Da Liu: "……"

Damn it, why didn't the politics teacher tear him up?

Ten minutes later.

Six people stopped on that street outside the vocational high school.

The bearded man and those two siblings had dealt with each other before; they also came from that school, so they were fairly familiar.

"Today's Friday, they'll hand out phones; at this time Zhong Jia might be out eating with Zhong Yin."

【Found it! That kebab stall next to the supermarket on this road!】0731 kept licking.

【Host, next time I want strawberry flavor; orange is too sour.】

【……】

Jin Chen secretly rolled his eyes.

"Let's go."

The business of this barbecue restaurant was booming, with many plastic tables and chairs set up outside; as soon as Jin Chen entered, he spotted Zhong Yin eating barbecue at a glance.

Around the round table sat nearly ten people; besides Zhong Yin, whom he knew, there were several scarred men, muscular men, and men smoking.

"Which one is Zhong Jia?" Jin Chen asked.

"The guy in the skull vest next to Zhong Yin is really fierce; back when he was in school, he once beat someone to death with a hammer. Supposedly he has some connections at home, and they managed to spring him from jail."

Jin Chen's brow twitched slightly, a dagger appearing in his palm; "Come on, let's go meet them."

Several people turned and sat down at the table next to Zhong Yin's group.

As soon as they got close, Zhong Yin's face went pale; looking at Jin Chen's smile, he couldn't help but recall the strange incident that had happened that day.

Zhong Jia didn't know Jin Chen, merely grunted, lifting his chin at the bearded man: "Hey, Beard, didn't you go catch someone? You took my thousand bucks and did nothing?"

"What the hell is that, just a frail student with a heart condition, and you guys still can't catch him?"

【Oh my, we're in for trouble.】 0731 reflection.

The bearded man was almost scared to his knees by those words.

He was about to casually bluff his way through, but Jin Chen clapped a hand on his shoulder, forcing him to take a deep breath and say what Jin Chen had taught him.

"You idiot, you've said all that—why don't you go catch him yourself? Are you just too scared?"

Zhong Jia stared, not reacting at once: "What did you say?"

"You little brat, you're itching for a fight, huh!"

Zhong Jia kicked back his chair, his anger obvious, his rough brows knitting into wrinkles.

The other thugs at the table stopped eating their skewers, eyes locked on them.

Zhong Yin hid behind Zhong Jia: "Brother… that guy in the uniform is Jin Chen."

"I was saying, you're…… huh?!"

Zhong Jia hadn't finished speaking when he saw Jin Chen turn and run, his speed still impressive.

The bearded men were all bewildered; not knowing what had happened, but they figured running along was the right move!

Zhong Jia's fury flared; he wouldn't let them leave: "Damn it, hurry up and chase them for me!"

He kicked over a stool and took off after them.

Zhong Yin felt sure it was no good, but then he thought maybe it was because his brother had brought too many people, and Jin Chen figured he couldn't take them alone, so he ran; thinking that, his fear lessened a bit, and he followed along.

Jin Chen twisted and turned, deliberately heading into a deserted alley where few people lived.

"Oh man… this late at night has worn me out."

Da Liu, hands on his waist, panting nervously: "Zhong Jia and his crew have already caught up—aren't we going to run?"

Jin Chen: "I'm just afraid they won't come."

Otherwise he'd have run for nothing!
