Chapter 179: Betrayed

"No, he is my Fourth Brother. My Fourth Brother is Yang Yun. Yang Yun will always be my Fourth Brother!" Zhang Wu roared at Xu Hongzhi excitedly.

Hearing Old Five’s words, I was very moved. I touched Zhang Wu’s shoulder and said: "Old Five, thank you. You will always be my Fifth Brother!"

"Fourth Brother, Third Brother is just a bit impulsive today. Please don't take it to heart. I know you were both impulsive today; it certainly isn't like this!" Zhang Wu looked at us, crying.

I sighed, patted Zhang Wu’s shoulder, and then turned to leave. Zhang Wu prepared to chase after me, but Xu Hongzhi shouted directly at Zhang Wu: "Old Five, are you trying to leave too?"

Zhang Wu turned to look at Xu Hongzhi and said bluntly: "If you really make me choose between you, you know my choice. My life was given by Fourth Brother. Fourth Brother will always be my Fourth Brother; no one can replace him!"

Hearing Zhang Wu’s words, Xu Hongzhi stood there helplessly, his gaze fixed on the backs of Zhang Wu and Yang Yun as they left.

I returned to the classroom, but before I could even sit down, I was called out by Zhang Yinuo.

I turned to look at Zhang Yinuo, not knowing what she wanted to do.

Zhang Yinuo’s expression was still very cold. She looked at me and said: "Come out with me, I have something to tell you!"

"Uh? Out again?" I looked at Zhang Yinuo, speechless. However, seeing Zhang Yinuo’s expression, I quickly said: "Alright then, let’s go, out!"

I followed Zhang Yinuo out of the classroom. Just as we reached the classroom door, we happened to run into Xu Hongzhi and Zhang Wu. Seeing me and Zhang Yinuo going out, Xu Hongzhi stared at me urgently and warned: "Yang Yun, don't you dare talk nonsense. I’m telling you, Yinuo is still injured, don't you dare mess around!"

Regarding Xu Hongzhi’s words, I naturally understood what he meant, but I didn't want to pay any attention to him at all and chose to ignore him directly.

Seeing me ignore him, Xu Hongzhi became a bit anxious and wanted to follow, but was stopped by Zhang Yinuo: "I have something to talk to Yang Yun about alone, don't follow me!"

Hearing Zhang Yinuo’s words, Xu Hongzhi was very angry, but there was nothing he could do; he could only watch helplessly as I and Zhang Yinuo walked out of the classroom.

Zhang Yinuo and I came to the place where I had talked to Xu Hongzhi earlier. I didn't expect it to be this place again. I looked at Zhang Yinuo, waiting for her words.

Zhang Yinuo looked around and then said to me: "Yang Yun, have you been deliberately avoiding me these past two days?"

"Ah? No, I haven't. How could I deliberately avoid you? I had something to do the day you were discharged, so I didn't have time to pick you up!" Regarding Zhang Yinuo’s words, I naturally didn't intend to admit it.

"Did you listen to what Zhang Longtao said earlier? You don't need to take those words to heart at all. You know I don't care about those things!"

Seeing Zhang Yinuo still looking indifferent and unconcerned, a slight pain flared in my heart, and I roared excitedly: "But I care! I care about those things! I have always been a useless person, and I have even less qualification to be with you. So please don't come and bother me again!"

Hearing my words, Zhang Yinuo stood there, stunned. Then she looked at me and said quietly: "Are you serious?"

I looked at Zhang Yinuo’s expression, feeling a bit moved, but I still bit the bullet and nodded, saying: "I’m serious!"

Zhang Yinuo looked at me, her expression disappointed, but she still looked up and smiled, saying: "Alright, I know!"

After saying this, Zhang Yinuo turned and walked straight back to the classroom. Watching Zhang Yinuo’s retreating back, my mood was very complicated. I wanted to cry, but for the sake of a man’s pride, I forcibly suppressed my emotions and tears.

I controlled my emotions and slowly returned to the classroom. After returning, I found Chen Ling already in my seat. Seeing me return, she quickly beckoned to me. I walked over, and Chen Ling whispered into my ear: "Brother Yang Yun, what happened? Why do I feel like there’s a problem between you and Xu Hongzhi lately!"

"Nothing, just some misunderstandings!"

"Ah? What misunderstanding? Is everything okay?" Chen Ling asked me nervously.

"Don't worry, it’s fine. Isn't that how men’s arguments usually go? It’ll be better in a couple of days!" I said to Chen Ling with a slight smile.

Hearing my words, Chen Ling finally felt relieved. Then Chen Ling said to me: "Brother Yang Yun, it’s my birthday in two days. I’ve invited some friends; you must come!"

I didn't think much and nodded. Thinking about it, Chen Ling had indeed been very good to me during this period. If I didn't go to her birthday, it really wouldn't be right. I took out my phone, checked the balance, and finally bought her a small gift on Pinduoduo. Although it wasn't expensive, it was particularly meaningful, and it should arrive in about two days.

By evening, I was waiting for Huang Laohu and the others at the agreed location. However, after waiting for a while, I didn't even see a shadow. I realized something was wrong. I took out my phone and dialed Huang Laohu’s number, but the other party didn't even pick up. It seemed Huang Laohu and the others didn't intend to come. I had originally thought Huang Laohu would at most just grumble, but would still come to support the scene at the critical moment. I didn't expect this guy to actually dare not to come today.

At this moment, I was extremely angry, wishing I could immediately find Huang Laohu and curse him out. It would be one thing if Huang Laohu didn't come, but even Wu Di didn't come. The plan that had already been agreed upon seemed to be falling through at this moment.

Just as I was about to go find Huang Laohu, I suddenly discovered a group of people blocking me.

The place where I was currently was right near the Li family. Logically speaking, they shouldn't have been able to discover me, because this place was still some distance from the Li family. How could the other side have come here to patrol? Unless they had known someone was here all along.

I saw one of the people and immediately confirmed that these were definitely Li family people, because that person was none other than Li Hong. Seeing Li Hong, I shouted angrily: "Li Hong, you actually dare to come out now? Aren't you afraid of being seen by the authorities and thrown into jail!"

"Hehe, Yang Yun, I think you should worry about yourself now. Isn't it very surprising why we would intercept you here?" Li Hong laughed loudly as he looked at me.

From Li Hong’s triumphant look, I could conclude that someone must have leaked the news about today’s matter in advance. But those who knew about my plan tonight were none other than Huang Laohu, Wu Di, and Xu Hongzhi and the others. But it was impossible for these people to betray me, right? Although Huang Laohu didn't get along with me, he couldn't be stupid enough to let the Li family capture me, right? That would mean he wouldn't have an easy life afterward either. ===== CHAPTER 180 =====
