Chapter 11:A Spoiled Bunch
After most students safely left the campus, Zhang Ruian got a call from the station, informing him that there seemed to be a fight at the Nobility Clubhouse. He hurriedly hung up the call and said to Xu Cheng, “I’m going over to Nobility. You stay here to keep watch on the students and come find me when the campus is empty.”
Xu Cheng nodded.
After Zhang Ruian left, Xu Cheng remained standing by the street and kept an eye on the high school’s campus gate. Then when the campus was almost empty, he got on the motorcycle, drove around and stopped by an alley, where he saw a couple high-schoolers shoving a teenager around in the alley.
Xu Cheng shouted after sounding the horn, “Still not going home at this hour?”
The five students saw that it was a police officer; they sneered and came out from the alley. Before leaving, they casted a fierce look at him, seemingly unsatisfied.
After the five of them left, Xu Cheng saw a teen crouching against the wall in the corner.
“You okay?”
The teen’s hair was dyed blonde and he was also wearing earrings. Xu Cheng could tell the pair of earrings were not cheap, set with real diamonds. The teen raised his head and casted a glance of disdain at Xu Cheng. “Why don’t you mind your own business?”
“Still acting tough after almost getting squashed?” Xu Cheng laughed.
“Can’t you see that they were ganging up on me because they can’t beat me alone?” The blond teenager snorted.
“Go home after school, don’t wander around this late,” Xu Cheng replied.
“I’m 16 already, do I still need to be taught by you? What are you police officers doing if the outside world is really as dangerous as you say?” the blond teen wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth and mumbled. “My parents don’t even try to mind my business, who are you to do such a thing?”
Xu Cheng didn’t care about the sour words and replied, “I wouldn’t mind other people’s business this much, but judging by your watch and earrings alone, if the bad guys had good eyes, you would be in a pretty dangerous situation.”
The blond boy squinted his eyes and looked at Xu Cheng strangely. “I couldn’t tell before, but you actually know a lot.”
“That Armani outfit, limited edition watch, and pair of diamond earrings should have a total value of at least 200 thousand. A little boy capable of wearing this out to the street probably comes from a family free of financial concerns.” Xu Cheng said with a smile, “So I’m not really trying to mind your business, but if someone like you were to get kidnapped, it would be people like me doing the heavy work and taking the blame. So yeah, please don’t give us a hard time. Go home early and don’t fight on the streets like in those movies.”
Then, Xu Cheng prepared to leave, but who knew the blond teen would say to his back, “My brother can’t pick me up tonight, can you drive me to a place?”
“I don’t have that obligation,” Xu Cheng replied.
“My money was taken by those upper-year students, I really don’t have the money to take a cab. Just drive me over,” the blond teen said.
Xu Cheng said as he looked at the teen from the corner of his eyes, “Where to? If it’s too far then I can’t because I’m still on duty.”
“To the Nobility Clubhouse,” the blond teen said.
Xu Cheng, “Not going. Is that a place for a kid your age?”
The blonde teen, “My brother is there, and he has the house keys. If I don’t go find him then how am I going to go home? If you can’t take me then I’m going to a write a complaint to your superior.” He looked at Xu Cheng provocatively, his expression basically saying that Xu Cheng had no other option.
