Chapter 115: Action

"Huh? What is it?" I asked awkwardly.

"Brother Yang Yun, what do you think of Xiao Ling?"

"Ah, Xiao Ling is quite good!"

"Really! Then is Xiao Ling cute? Is Xiao Ling pretty?"

"Cute, yes, pretty, yes!"

For a moment, I couldn't handle these questions from Chen Ling and felt flustered. I felt the next question was about to come out, but I found it hard to believe. People always say there are three great illusions in life, one of which is thinking the person you like likes you back.

Suddenly, Chen Ling stopped. She looked at me with a hint of determination in her eyes, reached out her little hand to grab my arm, and acted spoiled: "Then, does Brother Yang Yun like Xiao Ling?"

"I like you, Xiao Ling is so cute, how could I not like you!" I felt a bit guilty inside.

"That's not the kind of 'like' Xiao Ling is asking about. Xiao Ling is asking, does Brother Yang Yun love Xiao Ling?" Chen Ling's sudden words left me stunned. I stood on the road, dazed for a long time, unable to respond.

Seeing my reaction, Chen Ling looked very disappointed, but after a moment, she suddenly smiled at me: "Brother Yang Yun, I was just joking with you. Did I scare you?"

After saying this, Chen Ling laughed out loud. I smiled awkwardly; although I wasn't looking in a mirror, I knew my smile was very fake.

"Alright, Xiao Ling will walk you to here. Brother Yang Yun, take it slow on the road, I'm going back now!" After saying this, she waved at me and skipped away happily.

Of course, I knew what Chen Ling meant, but I really couldn't respond to her. I even felt like a scumbag. I had been with Su Xueyan before, then her sister Su Xueya, and I was also entangled with Zhang Yinuo and Chen Ling. I wanted to cut ties with them, but I couldn't bear to, and I was afraid.

Watching Chen Ling's retreating figure, I whispered, "I'm sorry!"

I walked home alone, Chen Ling's appearance from just a moment ago still in my mind. I even threw the Li family and enhancement potion matters Chen Feng had entrusted to me to the back of my mind. I tossed and turned all night, barely sleeping.

The next morning, I arrived at school as usual. However, the moment I entered the classroom and saw Chen Ling, I subconsciously avoided her gaze and quickly returned to my seat.

What I didn't see was the sadness in Chen Ling's eyes when she saw me dodging her.

San Mao and the fifth student, who were following me, looked at me in astonishment. San Mao directly punched me in the chest and said, "What's the situation between you and the class monitor? Did you do something you shouldn't have?"

"I didn't, don't talk nonsense!" My voice was a notch lower than before.

Hearing my words, San Mao was suspicious: "I think you have a guilty conscience, there's definitely something fishy. Tell me, what did you do to her!"

I scolded San Mao impatiently: "Go away, I'm annoyed, I don't have time to joke with you!"

Seeing that I was a bit angry, San Mao didn't care and continued: "You're even angry? It seems there really is something. You know, sometimes I really think you're a complete scumbag. At most, I like mature women, but it's always consensual and requires no responsibility. But you? You're a naked scumbag!"

This was San Mao for you. If it were anyone else, I would have already lashed out, but precisely because it was San Mao, I felt helpless. I knew he didn't mean it that way; San Mao was just straightforward and had no other intentions.

I couldn't stand San Mao's nagging, so I quickly ran out of the classroom. Just as I stepped out, I bumped into Liu Shuang. Liu Shuang hadn't been to class for the past two days, which probably had something to do with what I told the dean. His sudden appearance stunned me.

Liu Shuang was furious when he saw me and directly cursed: "Yang Yun, you bastard, you actually dared to deliberately spread false news to slander me, causing my dad to take me to the hospital! I know you did this on purpose, it's all fake, you can't fool me, haha!"

Seeing Liu Shuang's half-crazy state, I felt this guy's brain was probably damaged, likely from the stimulation.

"I didn't lie to you, Li Hong lied to you. You were used by someone, and yet you're still stupidly coming to me for revenge. I think you're truly stupid," I chuckled, my tone carrying a hint of mockery.

"You're lying, Li Hong couldn't have lied to me, you're lying!" Liu Shuang screamed in anger.

Hearing this, I chuckled. I was basically certain that Liu Shuang's increase in strength was 100% related to Li Hong. Liu Shuang had indirectly admitted it. However, whether he would stand up and testify later remained to be seen.

Just as I wanted to say something more, Liu Shuang rushed over like a madman, shouting: "Bastard, you still dare to talk nonsense, I'll kill you!"

Liu Shuang's speed was very fast; he reached my side like an arrow, completely disregarding that this was a school. This guy was now acting without any regard for the consequences.

I wanted to dodge, but I realized the classroom was right behind me. If I dodged, I might affect the students inside. I had no choice but to take the hit.

I quickly used my arm to block Liu Shuang's attack and took a step back. Liu Shuang's strength hadn't changed at all; after all, he didn't know Wu Gong before. Stimulating the body's potential only brought him to a peak state, with no further room for improvement. However, I practiced Wu Gong every day, so I was naturally different. Before, I might have felt strained facing Liu Shuang, but now, I felt I could easily hold my own against him.

I blocked all of Liu Shuang's subsequent attacks. Liu Shuang looked at me in disbelief: "Impossible, how could this be? When did you become so strong?"

I didn't answer Liu Shuang. The commotion had already attracted the school security and teachers. The dean rushed over, looking at Liu Shuang with a mix of anger and disappointment: "Shuang, are you crazy? Do you know what you're doing? Stop it! Dad is doing this for your own good, stop it now!"

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it, you're all lying to me, you're all lying to me!" Liu Shuang screamed frantically and then, ignoring the security guards, rushed out. The ordinary security guards couldn't stop him, so he naturally got away.

But this was exactly my goal. I wanted to find evidence against Li Hong through Liu Shuang. Although it wasn't guaranteed to succeed, it was worth a try. Besides, this was the only way, as charging into the Li family or finding Li Hong directly would be useless. ===== CHAPTER 116 =====
