As Tang Xiu had expected, his desk was surrounded by other students after class. They were expressing their gratitude as well as were curious about how Tang Xiu had such a big strength. Some others also asked about the specific details of the car accident a year ago.

With big efforts, Tang Xiu spent quite some time to send them away before this group of enthusiastic and curious students left.

“Tang Xiu, do you think Ouyang Haifeng’s gang will come to find us and get revenge on campus?” Cheng Yannan who sat in front suddenly turned around and asked softly when nobody was around Tang Xiu’s desk.

“After having gone through today’s incident, I think both the police and the school will increase the security. That gang is unlikely to incite trouble at school.” Tang Xiu thought for second and replied with a serious expression.

“Thank you.” Having heard that, Cheng Yannan seemed to be relieved and then fell into a daze.

Tang Xiu couldn’t help but be stunned as he scrutinized Cheng Yannan’s expression that was worlds apart with her usual response.

But Tang Xiu quickly figured it out. Cheng Yannan might have usually been carefree, but she was after all was only a girl, an under 18 year old girl.

She had just gone through a sudden kidnapping by a murderer and almost lost her life. Had it been for others, they could have lost half of their soul.

When Tang Xiu thought about it, he subconsciously looked at Yuan Chuling, who shared the table with him. He was also different than his usual self and was awfully quiet. He was also uncommunicative when the cops wrote the record, and his complexion now was even deathly pale as he was also in a dazed state.

“Fatty, are you alright?” Tang Xiu pushed Yuan Chuling as he asked him with a concerned expression.

“I-I… I-I’m fine…” Abruptly woken up by Tang Xiu, Yuan Chuling’s body quivered as he looked around with a blank expression. Realizing he was sitting in the classroom, he hurriedly shook his head.

“It’s OK, your vest is drenched in sweat.” Seeing Yuan Chuling’s reaction, Tang Xiu scrutinized him and then softly spoke, “Fatty, everything has passed, we are safe now.”

“Eldest Brother, tell me something. Is it this hard to see someone die? Once a man dies, is it true that his soul is really gone?” Yuan Chuling asked irrelevant questions.

“Haih, I don’t know that. Eh, why don’t you jump from the window and try it yourself?” Tang Xiu leaned his head and thought for a moment, and then he suggested with an extremely serious expression.

“You… Go to hell, f*ck you!” Yuan Chuling obviously had yet to recover from his frightened state. He was in a daze for a long time and only came to his senses after Tang Xiu teased him, as he then punched Tang Xiu over.

“Hell no, will I explore such a deep philosophical problems? Therefore, I’ll just give that honorable task to you. It’s better for you, really.” Tang Xiu stopped Yuan Chuling’s fist as he smiled and made fun of him.

“Eldest Brother, I used to think that I was very powerful. I have both good strength and courage. And I used to believe that I’d be a great hero someday. But when that damned gangster used Cheng Yannan to block my desk and I had no way to stop or change its direction, I felt that I was really useless.”

“Especially when that gangster stabbed his dagger at me. Hell, you wouldn’t be able to know how desperate I was at that time.”

“…”

After Tang Xiu teased him a few times, Yuan Chuling slowly opened up to what he felt inside as he threw out everything that deep inside his heart.

Seeing that Yuan Chuling finally broke out from the traumatic shadow due to the gangster incident, Tang Xiu felt relieved.

But Tang Xiu didn’t know that Cheng Yannan who sat in front was secretly eavesdropping on his conversation, although she didn’t turn around.

Upon hearing the constant teasing Tang Xiu did to Yuan Chuling, Cheng Yannan’s delicate shoulders shivered. She even almost burst into laughter a few times. But since it was still during class, she had no choice but to hold her urge to burst into laughter.

Although Han Qingwu spent 45 minutes in giving a psychological counseling for all the students, and most of everyone’s fear had been gone, but many students were still in a dazed state in the classroom.

Some of them were afraid. Some others were too excited because once they had the chance to speak, they must blurt out everything they knew about this gangster hijacking incident. As if only by doing so, would they be able to drive out their fear and pacify their excited mood to calm down.

The gangster hijacking became the number one topic at Star City First High School today. Class 10’s students, especially Tang Xiu, Cheng Yannan, and Yuan Chuling were the focus of the talks.

However, the main players that became the center of talk had long been out of the impact due to the incident. While secretly guarding against the emergence of the retaliating gangster’s members, their thoughts were more focused on their study.

One day had passed without anyone noticing. The talks about the gangster incident gradually died down under the deliberate action of the school’s authorities. A person in the residential building nearby Star City First High School silently put away his telescope as chilling murderous intention flashed through his eyes.

“The cop snitcher said that the Third Brother was killed by a student named Tang Xiu. But how the hell do I feel that this doesn’t make sense? There’s no way the cop had already found out about our snitch and deployed traps.” The middle-aged man wearing glasses amongst them held Tang Xiu’s portrait as he repeatedly looked at it a few times. Throwing it aside, he spoke with a confused expression.

“We know that Third Brother’s fighting prowess might not be the strongest amongst all of us. But his strength is definitely the strongest. How the hell did he get buckled down by such a feeble high schooler?” A youth with a cherry-apple shirt also spoke with the same puzzled expression.
