Chapter 97: Returning

"Then you really think highly of me!" I smiled and looked at Chen Zinuo.

"It's fine. I believe in you, and I also believe in my own judgment, and I believe in Xueya's judgment!" Chen Zinuo smiled and then looked at her phone, continuing: "Alright, I have something else to do. I reckon I'm going to be late, so I won't see you off inside! Remember to call me if you need help!"

"Alright, go ahead and get busy. We'll talk when there's time!" After saying this, Chen Zinuo quickly turned and left. It looked like the matter was indeed quite urgent, but to be able to come see me off in such a busy situation, she was truly a quite nice girl, and she was very good to me, not looking down on me in the slightest.

After I got on the bus, I also sent a message to Third Brother and the others.

When I returned to S City, Third Brother, Zhang Yinuo, and Old Five had arrived at the station early to pick me up.

Seeing me arrive, they were all extremely excited. Third Brother rushed over excitedly and hugged me, saying: "Damn, Old Fourth, you scared the hell out of me. I thought you weren't coming back!"

"Rest assured, it's fine. I just went over to take a look, nothing happened!"

"Really? Then what about Xueya? Why didn't Xueya come back? I heard from people at school that she seems to have transferred schools. Is it true?"

"It's true. Xueya isn't coming back. She is living there with her biological parents. I believe that with her biological parents taking care of her, it should be pretty good!"

"Damn, then Old Fourth, did you really give up on Xueya?"

"But there's really no way right now. However, you guys don't worry too much. Some things are already destined. If it's yours, it's yours; if it's not yours, there's nothing you can do!"

Hearing my words, Old Five beside me also hurriedly smoothed things over: "Fourth Brother must have his own ideas. Let's hurry and go eat. Fourth Brother has finally returned; we must celebrate properly!"

"Alright, let's go then!"

However, Zhang Yinuo didn't go, and her expression wasn't very good when she left.

Third Brother beside me whispered to me: "Actually, Zhang Yinuo hasn't argued less with her family for your sake these past few days. I heard she even had a falling out with her family. You should also look after Zhang Yinuo more when you have time. This is all debt you owe. I really envy you. You handle these romantic debts yourself!"

Hearing Third Brother's words, I smiled awkwardly, and my heart also sighed slightly. These situations were indeed the truth.

The three of us went directly to find a restaurant and ordered some food.

However, when I wasn't at school, Li Hong had also kept a much lower profile. Plus, because of the Chen Duxiu incident, they didn't dare to act rashly, and because of the influence of Su Xueya's family, they didn't dare to act easily either.

After we arrived at the restaurant, it was quite a coincidence that we happened to run into Li Hong. Li Hong was also very surprised to see me, smiling and saying to me: "Yo, isn't this Yang Yun? I thought you were dead for sure. I didn't expect you to be able to come back. You really have a big life!"

"Heh, I won't die even if you do. I heard you've been keeping a low profile lately. What's wrong? Did you run into something? Don't dare to jump around anymore?" I smiled and looked at Li Hong.

"Hmph, Chen Duxiu died by accident before. I feel it mostly has to do with you. He was clearly with you at the time, but he ended up dead. You murderer, the authorities should be called to arrest you!" Li Hong shouted angrily.

"Heh, how he died, the authorities have already investigated clearly. Are you doubting the ability of the authorities, or are you saying you know about the events of that day, that you saw it?"

"Hmph, you know how he died. In any case, we are not done with this matter. Don't be smug. Sooner or later, I will deal with you!"

"Damn, you're so arrogant, wanting to deal with us? Why not come today? I've been wanting to beat you up for a long time!" Third Brother, who was on the side, was so angry he started cursing.

Seeing Third Brother, Li Hong sneered and said: "Just you? Haven't you been beaten enough before? I think you're looking for death yourself!"

"Damn, I think you're looking for death!" After Third Brother said this, he couldn't help but be the first to make a move. I hurriedly grabbed him and stopped him, saying: "Don't make a move first!"

Third Brother glared at me and said: "Why are you stopping me? Let me go over and finish him!"

"This matter can't be too rushed, and we haven't figured out the other party's situation yet, so it's not good to fight hard. Besides, this is a restaurant. If you make a move first, it will be impossible to explain later, so let them go for now!"

Hearing my words, Third Brother also snorted and stopped moving.

Li Hong smiled and said to me: "By the way, it hasn't been peaceful at night lately. Be careful when you go back later. Don't get beaten up by someone. After all, society is quite dangerous now!"

"Damn, your mother, if you have the guts, come on!" Third Brother pointed at Li Hong and cursed in a rage.

We naturally understood what Li Hong's reminder meant; this was a naked threat. However, we couldn't report this to the authorities. After all, the authorities also need evidence; they can't convict someone based on a few words.

Li Hong smiled and didn't speak anymore, leaving. It looked like he had just finished eating here.

Third Brother was furious at this time. Old Five on the side whispered: "Are we still going in to eat?"

"Eat my ass, change to another place. Damn, I'm not coming to a restaurant this dead bastard has eaten at!" Third Brother's temper also flared up, and he turned around and left, taking us with him.

"By the way, how much do you guys know about Li Hong's news these days? What is the background of those suddenly powerful subordinates of his? Is there any news?" I asked Third Brother and the others.

"That old man before mentioned some strengthening potion. I also went to ask my old man, but I was scolded badly. My old man told me never to touch that stuff and not to have any relationship with the person who has the strengthening potion. In short, the water here is very deep, and it's not easy to handle. I heard the authorities are also investigating this matter recently. After all, this kind of potion is strictly controlled by the authorities. Its sudden appearance must be taken very seriously by the authorities. However, no specific news has been found yet. As for why Li Hong has it, we don't know either!" Old Five said slowly on the side.

"Because of this matter, I even went to report it before, but nothing was found. The authorities even criticized me. There's no way. Although I know Li Hong has the strengthening potion in his hands, it's about the same after reporting it to the authorities. It caused me to be lectured. It's so infuriating. So, where Li Hong got this potion, we really don't know at all!" Third Brother spat out a mouthful of water in anger.

Hearing what the two of them said, I also fell into thought. Since the authorities will have a crackdown on this situation, we can cooperate with the authorities to suppress Li Hong. However, this kind of thing is not easy to find evidence for, and producing evidence is the most important key.
