Chapter 35: Youngsters Fighting
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
What actually happened was that Ning Lingyu and Zhang Ling were stopped by these three rascals when they left the restroom. The two girls did not want to stir up any trouble. However, the three guys stood in a line, intentionally blocking the two of them. They were swaying back and forth, presumably drunk. One of the guys even tried to molest Ning Lingyu, causing Zhang Ling to scream.
It was the same scum that stared at Cao Shanshan with a perverted look and called her pretty. Tang Meng knew about this and he frowned. He then stepped forward.
Without turning his head, he asked softly, “Lingyu, what did they do to you?”
Only those who understood Tang Meng well would know that once he stopped speaking in an overbearing tone, it could only mean one thing. He was ready to fight. Ning Lingyu hesitated for a moment. Looking past the crowd, she saw her brother Ling Yun walking over in an unhurried manner which made her feel more secure. She looked at Tang Meng and said, “He tried to touch me…”
When Ling Yun heard that, thunder flashed in his eyes. His pupils dilated. Anger filled his whole body while he stared at straight at the pervert. It was as if he was staring at a dead body. Tang Meng’s gaze turned cold. Holding back his impulse to smash the pervert’s nose, he uttered, “Brothers, apologize to my friends now. If she forgives you, I’ll let you walk.”
When the despicable pervert heard Tang Meng, he burst into a huge laughter, acting as though he had just heard the biggest joke ever. He glanced arrogantly at his two friends beside him and exclaimed, “Liu Xiaojun, Li Jing, did you guys hear that? This idiot just said he’ll let us walk!”
Liu Xiaojun and Li Jing laughed sarcastically. There were three pretty girls standing in front of them but Tang Meng stood between them. This had already made them unhappy. Flashing a look of disdain at Tang Meng, the pervert squinted his eyes and said, “Little boy, you’re from Qingshui High, right? You haven’t even achieved puberty, yet you have the guts to bring three beautiful girls for drinks at Savant’s Restaurant?”
Tang Meng remained silent.
“Do you know who I am? I’m Zheng Feng from Jiangnan School of Engineering. Go and ask around the university. There isn’t anyone who doesn’t know me!”
After completing his sentence, Zheng Feng raised his fist to Tang Meng’s face. Tang Meng shook his head. With lightning speed, he grabbed Zheng Feng by his wrist and said, “Brothers, I’ll give you one more chance. Apologise to my friends now!”
Looking at his wrist, a wave of fury surged through Zheng Feng. He snapped, “Kid! Are you tired of living! Do you want to die?”
Tang Meng smiled to himself. He mumbled, “Zheng Feng, I don’t think you should be called Zheng Feng. You should change your name to moron instead!”
After finishing his sentence, Tang Meng stopped talking. He was still holding Zheng Feng by his right wrist, and in the blink of an eye, he forcefully pulled Zheng Feng towards himself. He stretched out his left leg and kicked Zheng Feng in the stomach. Tang Meng was as vicious as Ling Yun. All would be cool if he remained calm but when he started to fight, he would not give any chances at all.
Zheng Feng felt the pain and retreated a few steps backward. He bent forward while clutching his stomach with both hands. Cold sweat started dripping from his forehead.
“Ouch… D*mn! This boy has the guts to touch me… Deal with him!”
The waitresses who were witnessing the scene wanted to stop the fight, but they were too late. Even so, they did not have the courage to do so.
Zheng Feng was also very vicious. He tried to straighten his back while waiting for his pain subside, hoping that he could join Liu Xiaojun and Li Jing to beat up Tang Meng.
However, before he managed to straighten his back, he felt a powerful kick hitting his butt from behind. This kick was even harder than the first. It was more vicious and powerful. Zheng Feng could no longer stand straight. He stumbled forward five to six steps before collapsing on the ground on his face.
Needless to say, this kick had come from Ling Yun. At this moment, Liu Xiaojun and Li Jing had already started charging towards Tang Meng.
Tang Meng smiled to himself. Like a tiger staring at its prey, Tang Meng locked his stare on the both of them. He clenched both his fists in an attacking position while he waited for them to approach.
As for Li Jing, he was barely taller than Chai Hanlin. Before he could even come close to Tang Meng, Zhang Dong grabbed him by his neck like a little chicken and threw him aside.
Tang Meng raised his arm to block Liu Xiaojun’s punch. He flashed a quick smile to Zhang Dong, then nodded and praised him. Cao Shanshan saw that a fight had broken out, so she deduced that there was no need for her to be involved. She still hoped to see the three gangsters being beaten up, but instead, she dragged Ning Lingyu and Zhang Ling towards the wall and took a few steps back to leave the fighting vicinity.
Tang Meng knew that Liu Xiaojun did not pose any threat. He scoffed, “Both of them are down. Don’t you dare try anything funny.”
While talking, Tang Meng launched a straight, heavy punch directly at Liu Xiaojun’s chin. Liu Xiaojun could not react in time and fell straight onto the floor.
It had taken less than a minute for the fight to end. The three guys who had been looking for trouble were knocked onto the ground.
“By with your standards, you can afford to be so arrogant in school? I’m guessing that there’s no one else in that university,” Tang Meng said while looking at the three gangsters grimacing in pain on the floor. He smiled to himself and walked away.
He practiced boxing and since Liu Xiaojun wanted to hit him, he did not hold back any of his punches and punched him ruthlessly.
“Who said Jiangnan School of Engineering doesn’t have anyone else?”
As soon as Tang Meng was done talking, a group of six to seven people started walking out of a private room not too far away. They headed towards Tang Meng’s direction.
The one leading the pack looked to be around Zhang Dong’s height but had a broader shoulder and a more well-built body. He looked like a fighter. He was bald, had a body covered in muscles, and his face was filled with scars.
He dangled a cigarette out of his mouth. His right hand held on to an empty beer bottle. Without batting an eye at Zheng Feng and the two other guys on the floor, they headed straight towards Ling Yun and his friends.
All six or seven of them came out together and immediately blocked the entire small walkway on the second floor of the restaurant. They walked in a fast and urgent manner, looking as if they were trying to kill someone.
Ning Lingyu, Zhang Ling, and Chai Hanlin’s faces turned to a different color when they saw those guys coming in their direction. Cao Shanshan furrowed her well-trimmed eyebrows. She knew that she needed to do something this time. She looked at Chai Hanlin and said, “Chai Hanlin, protect Ning Lingyu and Zhang Ling! Hide somewhere further away! Don’t get yourself injured.”
Cao Shanshan went directly to stand beside Tang Meng. Her gaze turned as cold as ice, but her feet stayed extremely rooted.
A fat palm suddenly grabbed her by the arm.
“Go back!” Ling Yun told Cao Shanshan quietly.
“You…” Seeing that Ling Yun grabbed her arm so boldly, her face started to blush a little. Since young, no guy had ever touched her arm other than her own family members.
Her face turned red. He seems so forceful.
“Go back and take care of the three of them. There’s no need for a girl to be here,” Ling Yun said in a faint voice.
Letting a woman fight? That’s definitely not my style.
Cao Shanshan raised her head slightly. She glanced at Ling Yun and gave him a suspicious look, “Are you not afraid to go up against the seven of them?”
Ling Yun smiled then raised his right hand, signaling to Cao Shanshan to leave. He looked at Zhang Dong, who was walking over and said, “Zhang Dong, you don’t know how to fight. Don’t try anything funny before your finals. Head back too.”
Zhang Dong had never fought before. First of all, he did not like to fight and secondly, he was a very calm man. There was nothing much in school that could provoke him. As a result, he had zero fight experience.
He looked at the seven men headed in his direction. Each of them was well-built and menacing. Some of them were even carrying empty beer bottles. This dipped his confidence. However, he realized that there were only three of them and he decided that he could not back down. Hence, he decided to bite the bullet and step forward.
At this moment, Tang Meng leaned back and said, “Buddy, I did not know you before but I like the way you talked and handled things today. You’re now my friend. However, we really don’t need your help. Go back and take good care of the ladies for us.”
Zhang Dong pondered to himself. He asked with some uncertainty, “Are you sure the both of you can handle them?”
Ling Yun gave a faint smile. He shook his head, “Not the both of us. Tang Meng, get the hell back. I don’t need your help here.”
“What?” the little tyrant shouted. He was not sure if he had heard him correctly.
“They have seven guys! Don’t tell me you want to fight them all by yourself…”
“Who was the one who said that Jiangnan School of Engineering doesn’t have anyone? Step out now!”
At this point, the other leader had already walked up to the two of them. He was surprised to find that they were actually disputing endlessly regarding who should fight and who should not. He lost a little patience as he felt disregarded.
“I’m Tu Gang. The both of you hit my men. Neither of you will be able to hide. Don’t bother fighting!”
So, Tu Gang is the name of the leader.
Tang Meng smiled and walked forward, “I’m the one who said Jiangnan School of Engineering doesn’t have anyone. Do you have a problem?” Tang Meng had always been a fearless leader. Ever since young, he had never afraid of anyone other than his grandfather. Ling Yun nodded his head subtly and stopped asking Tang Meng to go back.
Ling Yun saw it very clearly. If they could end this fast by taking out their leader Tu Gang first, the others would not pose a threat to Tang Meng.
This was exactly what the saying, ‘Always take down the leader first’ meant.
“Little kid, you got guts. Let’s see if you’d still have that kind of guts when you’re lying on the ground!”
Tang Meng let out a cold laughter, “I’m afraid it won’t be me on the ground.”
At this moment, all six of Tu Gang’s men disdainfully glared at Ling Yun and Tang Meng. They all knew that they would not have to fight. Tu Gang alone could easily put them down.
Ling Yun gently stepped forward.
“Brother!” Ning Lingyu shouted uncontrollably from a distance. She realized that Ling Yun was up against someone at least a head taller than him.
Tu Gang looked at Ling Yun and took a deep puff of smoke. He then spat the cigarette in his mouth away and smirked mockingly, “Both of you, come at me together!”
Ling Yun murmured, “There’s no need for that.”
Tu Gang stopped talking. He sneered and rushed towards Ling Yu, his eyes filled with violence and cruelty. While clutching a beer bottle in his right hand, he raised it up and smashed it over Ling Yun’s head.
His strike was fast and merciless!
