Chapter 9: Tang Zichen’s needle

After leaving the station, Wang Chao could only sigh in dismay and disappointment. Disappointment over the fact that he had lost all of his fighting strength in two blows as well as 2100 RMB.

“21 bills of cash.” Wang Chao lamented as if he had a piece of his body cut off. But, the pain in his fist had already receded, leaving him with a paralysis of the hand.

The entire arm had already lost feeling a long time ago.

Biting his lips, Wang Chao lifted his arm with some difficulty only to see the elbow caked with some blood and already some purple bruising.. As for his own fist, it had turned a blackish purple a long time ago to a stunning degree.

Pressing against it lightly, Wang Chao felt a shocking amount of pain similar to being stabbed with a thousand needles.

“Dreadful that attack was. But that means my own skill isn’t enough.” Wang Chao spoke to himself, wishing that he could just sit in a taxi to find Tang Zichen.

“Oh? Wang Chao, is that you? Just what are you doing here, are you looking for someone?” While walking home with a serious consideration on looking for medicine before going to find Tang Zichen, he suddenly heard a voice behind him.

Turning his head, Wang Chao realized it was the Cao girl who was the class officer and student council member.

“I….I was just taking a walk.” Wang Chao obviously couldn’t talk about his robbing act and then being arrested by the officers before being released.

“Jingjing, what are you doing?” Just as Wang Chao was preparing to say goodbye, the doors to the station suddenly opened, revealing officer Cao whose eyes lit up as he saw the girl.

It was then that Wang Chao suddenly remembered this girl was named Cao Jingjing.

“Dad! Mom was just telling you to come home.” When Cao Jingjing saw her father, she immediately turned away from Wang Chao to run to her dad.

“So Cao Jingjing is his daughter.” Wang Chao thought. But he had no intentions of staying here any longer, so he quickly turned to leave.

“Jingjing, was that person your classmate?” Officer Cao watched as Wang Chao turned the corner and disappeared from view first before asking his daughter the question.

“Yea, he’s our class’ most well-behaved student. Everyday, he doesn’t speak a word to anyone else or even get in trouble with the other male students.” Cao Jingjing spoke of her opinion of him.

“Most well-behaved?” Officer Cao was shocked.

Silently, Wang Chao returned home, but that night, sleep did not come easy for him. His entire arm was still numb, but the pain had entered his bones even. This feeling was even worse than being condemned to hell! Even after rubbing sunflower oil on it, it had done nothing to alleviate the pain.

Even as he woke up the day after, the pain had not yet subsided. Waking up early, Wang Chao had made sure to wear a long sleeve to cover his arm so that his parent’s wouldn’t find out. As he left the door, he yelled out to his parents, “I’m going to the bookstore to study!”

Both parents were always constantly busy, so they had no time to supervise him and could only shout out a warning and goodbye.

Wang Chao anxiously ran towards the bus stop to find the right station. And two hours later, he had finally arrived at his stop. After asking around, he had finally found the way to the Lake Tianxing district.

Seeing the luxurious neighborhood and the security around it with all of the fancy gates, Wang Chao couldn’t help but hesitate for a moment, “Is sis Chen’s house that wealthy?”

Arriving at a large gate, he was stopped by the security there. But when Wang Chao had taken out the card given to him by sis Chen and then inputting the password, the guards had politely allowed him access into the area.
