3302 Mind Your Own Business!
“If you have time, I can practice with you,” said Li Mochen. He knew the importance of practical experience, but there was no one around Leng Xiaoyao who could be her opponent. Therefore, it was difficult for her to practice in real combat.
What had happened tonight wasn’t uncommon in Li Mochen’s life, so he could practice his skills once in a while.
“Great! After the competition is over, we can go to see the house and practice our skills,” Leng Xiaoyao said eagerly. The uneasy atmosphere between her and Li Mochen had long since disappeared.
Li Mochen then attacked those men again and disabled them. Afterwards, he told Leng Xiaoyao to get in the car and they left.
He knew who these people were, so there was no need to interrogate them.
“Who are they? If you can, please tell me. If not, it’s okay,” Leng Xiaoyao asked curiously, without any coercion. After all, everyone had secrets they couldn’t tell outsiders.
Normally, he wasn’t allowed to talk to outsiders about it, but Li Mochen didn’t consider Leng Xiaoyao an outsider and said, “They are an underground gang from Province Yun called Tumen. They are stationed in City Bao. Tumen is involved in a legal business, dealing in raw jade materials. In City R, their company is called the Tu’s Raw Jade Materials, but they often use those materials as transportation to smuggle drugs. Tu in Tumen means a butcher, while Tu in the Tu’s Raw Jade Materials means smear. Many people in City R’s business and politics community are aware of the connection between Tu’s Raw Jade Materials and Tumen, so despite the small size of the Tu’s Raw Jade Materials, few people dare to provoke them, which makes their transportation more smooth. After Yiyang and I found out about that, we kept an eye on them for a while and disrupted their transactions a few times. After that, they became more restrained, but started to send people to chase and kill us.”
Leng Xiaoyao wasn’t very surprised. She wasn’t worried that Tumen would harm Li Mochen. She was just annoyed that they were being chased like this all the time!
Thinking about it, Leng Xiaoyao said, “Have you ever thought about wiping out Tumen? It’s troublesome to always be chased like this!”
“The existence of Tumen is still useful. It can restrain many things. If Tumen is wiped out, other gangs will emerge. After a few disruptions, Tumen has now shifted its business overseas. As long as they don’t pose a major threat domestically, it’s enough to suppress and restrain them,” Li Mochen said. He wasn’t a savior and didn’t feel the need to eliminate all evil forces. Besides, sometimes the existence of evil forces wasn’t entirely evil.
The current gangs weren’t like the ones before who only fought for territory. Most of them had started to run legal businesses, but they still engaged in shady dealings and took on harmful tasks that even the government couldn’t control.
Li Mochen didn’t see it as his responsibility to intervene because he didn’t have the authority to do so.
He only acted when he encountered injustice.
Leng Xiaoyao agreed with him.
After dealing with those people, Li Mochen sent Leng Xiaoyao back to the hotel.
When they were almost there, Leng Xiaoyao called Zhou Jing and asked where she was.
Zhou Jing had just finished registering at the hotel, so she told Leng Xiaoyao her room number.
Because all the participating students from different places were staying at the hotel, there were many students and teachers coming in and out at this time.
After Gao Lei stayed with Zhou Jing till she finished registering, he was about to leave, but an acquaintance greeted him.
“Hey! Isn’t this Mr. Gao? What are you doing here?”
The person greeting Gao Lei was a young female teacher named Zhang Yawen, who was also the team leader of the No.8 High School in the capital city.
Although they both lived in the capital city, they stayed at the hotel to ensure that they would arrive on time for tomorrow’s competition.
The schools arranged for male teachers to accompany male students and female teachers to accompany female students in the same rooms.
Zhang Yawen didn’t expect to see Gao Lei here with a woman. It was obvious that he came because of this woman.
Zhang Yawen liked Gao Lei, which wasn’t a secret at their school. However, Gao Lei didn’t like her and even distanced himself from her after she confessed her feelings. They used to be close!
“I came to meet a friend.” Gao Lei replied with an indifferent tone. Although he didn’t like Zhang Yawen, he didn’t want to be rude to her either.
He would still care about her face, especially since they were outside.
“Are you just friends or girlfriend and boyfriend?” Zhang Yawen asked teasingly, but she already felt hostile towards Zhou Jing.
“Ms. Zhang, that’s too much.” Gao Lei replied without directly answering her question. He and Zhou Jing were just friends, but he indeed liked her.
“We’re colleagues. I simply care about you. Mr. Gao is almost thirty now and I heard you haven’t had a girlfriend since graduating from college. When I saw you two together, I couldn’t help but be curious!” Zhang Yawen smiled.
Curious? She was curious about their relationship, but it was more of a test.
Zhou Jing wasn’t gorgeous, but she wasn’t ugly either.
Zhang Yawen didn’t think that she was any worse than Zhou Jing.
She admitted that Zhou Jing had a slightly better figure than her, but not enough to make her feel inferior.
What worried her was that Gao Lei had feelings for this woman.
When Zhou Jing heard their conversation, she felt a bit complicated. She naturally knew about Gao Lei’s feelings for her, and she also liked him, but they would be in a long-distance relationship. She didn’t like that. Therefore, it was difficult for her to persuade herself to accept him.
Every time she came to the capital city, she couldn’t help but contact Gao Lei. She also knew that Gao Lei stayed single all this time because of her.
Many times she was impulsive and wanted to accept him, but when she thought of the distance, she held back.
“Ms. Zhang is only two years younger than me. If you want to care about someone, care about yourself first! I can handle my own business,” Gao Lei said. He was a bit impolite, but he didn’t like Zhang Yawen. It was her who always came to him!
“You…” Zhang Yawen was instantly angry. She didn’t expect that in front of so many people, Gao Lei would make her lose face and embarrass her.
She obviously cared about her own affairs! She liked Gao Lei! If it hadn’t been for him, would she be single for two years?
At first, Gao Lei was very gentle with her and that often made her misunderstand that he was interested in her too. She couldn’t help but fall deeper and deeper.
It was a misunderstanding. Zhang Yawen misunderstood that Gao Lei was interested in her. It was just her own imagination. After all, the person involved was often blinded by emotions while bystanders saw things clearly!
When Zhou Jing heard Gao Lei’s reply, she wanted to laugh. He was too straightforward! However, she had to admit that his words made her feel great.
