Chapter 252: Come out now
With how righteous Gao Jinhai sounds, the students almost didn't believe this person was Gao Jinhai. It was too different from the usual.
But it worked.
The students look at Long Shen with even more disgust. They couldn't stand him now.
Long Shen didn't know what to do in this situation. Even Liu Fei Fei couldn't help in this situation. The only thing he could do now is to suffer from the backlash.
While Long Shen suffers, Zhang Jian glares daggers at him.
"That bastard! I'm going to kill him!" If Long Shen wanted to kill his best friend, then he would make him suffer!
"Woah, calm down, killer." Before Zhang Jian could get away from his grasp, Lu Chen grabs him by his collar.
"Don't try to stop me, Lu Chen! I'm going to end him!" Even though he was trying to move, Lu Chen wasn't letting go.
"You're not ending nobody. Especially not him."
"Why not?! How are you not fazed by what he said?!" Looking at Lu Chen's face, there wasn't any negative emotion.
"He's right. Long Shen needs to be put in his place." Feng Meifeng's on the same page as Zhang Jian. Despite being a pacifist towards fighting, that's not the case right now. An eye for an eye, Long Shen wanted to kill him. Why couldn't Lu Chen do the same.?
'How could you agree with him?' Lu Chen didn't think he had to deal with two loose cannons now. He sighs, "Can't we just get something to eat instead?"
"How can we?! He wants to kill you!!!" Are they supposed to let that go? Of course not!
"Look, do you see how Long Shen is right now? How could he kill me? Lu Chen chuckles as he continues, "And besides, why should I be worried about him causing trouble. He has a lot of problems to deal with now that his face is revealed."
With that sound argument, the two couldn't say a thing. Lu Chen laughs, "C'mon, let's get something to eat." Seeing how Lu Chen is happy, the two didn't say anymore and followed him.
...
Later that day, Lu Chen returned back to school. He walks to the very back of the school, hidden from any students roaming around.
"Come out." When Lu Chen said this, Gao Jinhai came out from one of the brushes. He quickly asks him,
"Young master Lu, did I do good with my acting?" Lu Chen nods," Yeah, you did ok."
Even though it was just one sentence, it was more than enough to make Gao Jinhai fell over the moon.
The whole situation between Gao Jinhai and Long Shen was nothing more than a plan Lu Chen devised to deal with Long Shen.
That day when Gao Jinhai was begging his life, the demand Lu Chen said was,
"Become friends with Long Shen. I want you to get as close to him as possible. Gain his trust, then I will tell you what else to do later."
Gao Jinhai immediately jumped onto it. If he had to choose between Long Shen and Lu Chen, Lu Chen is the obvious choice. The benefits are so much more.
'That fool really jumped onto the bait so easily.' Lu Chen had been observing the whole interaction between Gao Jinhai and Long Shen. And when he saw how Long Shen was beginning to trust Gao Jinhai, he laughed his ass off.
Lu Chen couldn't believe Long Shen would trust Gao Jinhai so much after only a few days! But with that, the plan was successful.
While Lu Chen was laughing internally, Gao Jinhai questions, "Young master Lu, I still can't believe you would use those thugs from before tho." It was a surprise for him when he first heard about the thugs coming back.
"Why shouldn't I use them? They're people that are helpful in my situation." Long before Lu Chen asked Gao Jinhai, he had met up with Duan Cheng first. He asked Elder Wu to tell him their location.
At first, Elder Wu was curious why he needed their help, but he still did it anyway. It only took him a few minutes as he was dragging Duan Cheng to Lu Chen.
"What do you want from me?!" Duan Cheng was cautious! Being suddenly dragged out of his hideout was scary, And it was none other than the person who killed his companions!
