Chapter 78: Chen Duxiu's Outburst
What did Zhuge Yue mean by "be careful of Chen Duxiu"? Could it be that Chen Duxiu was planning something big? Even at his worst, he shouldn't hurt Su Xueya, right? At most, he would vent his anger on me.
However, over the next few days, Chen Duxiu seemed to become increasingly arrogant. I heard he was with Li Hong all day long. At school, Li Hong could be considered the boss of bosses, and he had more and more people under him. Apart from losing Wang Lin a few days ago, he hadn't suffered any real losses. Even though Wang Lin was gone, gaining a fierce general like Chen Duxiu meant it wasn't really a loss.
"That Chen Duxiu is really not a decent person. Li Hong bullied him and his brothers so much before, and yet now he's actually hanging out with them. I really look down on him!" Third Brother kept complaining about Chen Duxiu.
"You can't blame him entirely. After all, his beloved woman was snatched by Fourth Brother. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to take it either. But I don't think I could bring myself to join forces with a guy like Li Hong," Zhang Wu said. He had recently learned about the experiences Third Brother and I had gone through over the years, and he understood Chen Duxiu as well.
"What are you talking about? This guy is just a coward, spineless, not a man!" Third Brother said angrily.
"Oh, so you're saying you guys are very manly, right?"
A sudden voice interrupted our conversation. We followed the sound and saw none other than the Chen Duxiu we were discussing. Chen Duxiu was wearing flip-flops and a shirt that hadn't been washed in who knows how long. His whole person had completely changed; he felt like a different person entirely.
"Damn, what kind of look is this? Even if the sister-in-law doesn't like you, you don't have to give up on yourself, right?" Third Brother said, looking at Chen Duxiu in surprise.
Contrary to his usual behavior, Chen Duxiu rushed over and tried to attack Third Brother. Seeing this, everyone around looked on in disbelief. Third Brother said disdainfully: "Damn, did the heartbreak hit you too hard? Did you lose your mind? Are you here looking for death?"
As for Third Brother's combat ability, most people in the school knew about it. Although Chen Duxiu was decent at fighting before, he was ultimately just an ordinary person. How could he possibly beat Third Brother? This was no different from coming here to die.
Seeing Chen Duxiu rushing over, Third Brother didn't pay any attention and simply blocked. However, when their fists and feet made contact, the scene that followed stunned everyone present. We saw Third Brother fly off his chair, crashing into the desk behind Zhang Wu and hitting the classroom wall before stopping. The surrounding students were so scared they hid far away.
Third Brother looked at Chen Duxiu in front of him with an expression of disbelief and said: "How is this possible?"
I hurriedly ran over, helped Third Brother up, and asked: "How are you? Are you okay?"
Third Brother shook his head with difficulty. Judging by his appearance, he was clearly hurt. This forced me to re-evaluate Chen Duxiu. His kick just now didn't look like anything special, so why was the power so great? This was something I couldn't figure out. Moreover, Chen Duxiu was just an ordinary person before. To become this strong in such a short time was simply unbelievable—even faster than when Third Brother and I learned martial arts. Even if he had just started learning martial arts a few days ago, it would be impossible to reach this level.
"Yang Yun, don't worry, it's your turn soon!" Chen Duxiu smiled cruelly and walked over slowly.
I watched Chen Duxiu approaching, my expression vigilant. Zhang Yinuo rushed over and stood in front of me: "Yang Yun, run! You're no match for him right now!"
I gently pushed Zhang Yinuo aside and smiled: "How could I let you stand in front of me at a time like this?"
I met Chen Duxiu and threw a punch with all my strength, holding nothing back, because I knew that facing Chen Duxiu, I had to respond with everything I had.
However, when my fist collided with Chen Duxiu's, I realized what Third Brother had faced. I only felt a massive force strike me, as if I had been hit by a truck. I took several steps back before I could stand steady. I felt something churning in my chest and forced myself to swallow it down.
Chen Duxiu looked much more relaxed, still standing there without any reaction. This was something I couldn't understand. If he were much stronger than me, I would have ended up like Third Brother. But if we were evenly matched, he shouldn't have had zero reaction. One had to know that force is reciprocal; since I was injured, he should have had some reaction too.
"Is that all you've got? You're nothing special!" Chen Duxiu sneered at me.
"What do you want?" I slowly stood up and stared at Chen Duxiu.
"I don't want anything. I just want to take back what belongs to me. Whoever dares to stop me will die!" Chen Duxiu said viciously.
"What belongs to you? Sorry, there's nothing here that belongs to you!" I naturally knew what Chen Duxiu meant, but Su Xueya was not a piece of cargo or an object; she didn't belong to him.
"I see you still don't recognize the situation. It seems you won't know how powerful I am until I teach you a lesson!" Chen Duxiu clenched his fist and walked over slowly.
Zhang Yinuo walked over quickly to my side, looked at Chen Duxiu, and said: "The power you have shouldn't belong to you, right?"
Chen Duxiu was stunned by Zhang Yinuo's words, then smiled and said: "Doesn't belong to me? Does it belong to you, then?"
"The power you're showing now is indeed strong, but I advise you not to use it. Things that aren't your own will inevitably have bad consequences!" Zhang Yinuo said, staring at Chen Duxiu.
"I think you're just looking for death, you bitch. Since you want to help Yang Yun take the hit, I'll finish you off first and let Yang Yun see what happens when you lose the person you love!" Chen Duxiu roared.
Then Chen Duxiu let out a shout and rushed over. Seeing this, I hurriedly said to Zhang Yinuo in front of me: "Run! Don't worry about me!"
"Don't worry, he can't hurt me!" Zhang Yinuo was strangely calm, radiating confidence.
"Go to hell!" Chen Duxiu's eyes were filled with madness and bloodlust, as if he could already see Zhang Yinuo lying on the ground.
Many female students in the class screamed in fear, and the class monitor, Chen Ling, hurriedly shouted: "Zhang Yinuo, watch out!"
However, to everyone's surprise, Zhang Yinuo remained standing quietly in place, while the previously arrogant Chen Duxiu looked at her in disbelief, blankly saying: "How is this possible? How? I don't believe it! I don't believe it!"
