Chapter 557: My Ident.i.ty is… (1.3 for 1 Chapter)
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Zhao Jiayi and the other guys were being jealous of Hao Ren, and no one expected Huang Xujie to come. Their first reaction was that Huang Xujie was here to cause trouble, but they noticed the presents in his hands when they were about to stop him at the door.
Huang Xujie spotted Hao Ren in the meantime, and he was also stunned by the fact that Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were sitting on Hao Ren’s sides, feeding him grapes.
Although he was fond of Su Han, he was interested in Lu Linlin and Lu Lili as well. Who would have known that not only was Su Han close with Hao Ren, but the twins were also willing to service him!
Huang Xujie had expressed his feelings for the Lu sisters in public before, so he was very jealous at this moment.
He liked the twins because of their beauty, and there was no emotional connection between them. However, it was still heart-breaking for him to see the twins sitting happily with Hao Ren!
Not only was Hao Ren stronger and more prestigious than him, but he was also more popular. On top of that, the prettiest girls in the school were always by his sides!
Huang Xujie had thought that Hao Ren was a n.o.body whom he could finish with just one finger. Now that he thought about it, Hao Ren simply didn’t want to bother fighting with him. Take club recruiting as an example, Hao Ren attracted over 500 people with one single banner, and a casual remark from Hao Ren’s dad could easily take away his dad’s job!
“Hao…Brother Hao!” Huang Xujie greeted Hao Ren bitterly with his head down as he walked in the room.
After he went back to his place from the recruiting event, he thought a lot about it and realized what had happened was very inappropriate.
The popularity of the Calligraphy Club crushed his confidence, and he had no idea that Hao Ren’s influence in the school had reached this level. However, the thing that he was most worried about was the fight in front of LingZhao Middle School.
Hao Ren appeared to be gloomy after coming back from LingZhao Middle School, and he didn’t even look at Huang Xujie when he walked by him after the recruiting event.
The more Huang Xujie thought about it, the more uncertain he was about the situation.
He would feel better if Hao Ren got mad at him or scolded him, but Hao Ren’s calm att.i.tude made him very nervous.
The incident with the Calligraphy Club today made Huang Xujie realize how important Hao Ren was at the school, and Hao Zhonghua, Hao Ren’s dad, had a high influence in East Ocean City and the entire province.
“If Hao Ren believes that the hooligans were gathered up by me…” Huang Xujie didn’t dare to keep thinking about it. He headed to the nearest supermarket in a rush and picked a few expensive presents. Then, he looked up where Hao Ren’s dorm room was and came to visit him.
He was a bully when he was faced with ordinary university students, but Hao Ren was way out of his reach. It would be a small problem to lose face but a big problem to ruin his future. Huang Xujie hated himself for kicking an iron board that he wasn’t supposed to touch. Therefore, he had to apologize.
Everything would be fine as long as Hao Ren let it go. However, if Huang Xujie’s dad were to learn about this, even if Hao Zhonghua didn’t do anything, Huang Xujie’s dad would beat Huang Xujie and take him here to apologize to Hao Ren.
One needed to be extra careful in the political circles. Huang Xujie was aware of this rule, so he never caused any big problem for his dad. But this time… Hao Ren was hidden too deep!
“What are you doing here?” Lu Linlin and Lu Lili frowned when they saw Huang Xujie.
They didn’t like him very much because he used to be Hao Ren’s enemy. Also, he intended to pursue them and only stopped when he learned that Lu Qing was their ‘grandpa.’
“Brother Hao, sorry to have surprised you today,” Huang Xujie said to Hao Ren bitterly.
Hao Ren looked at him without saying anything. In fact, he didn’t know what to say.
He took this opportunity to push away Lu Linlin and Lu Lili’s smooth hands and glanced at the presents Huang Xujie put on the floor.
“What do you mean by this?” he asked.
Zhao Jiayi and the other guys circled around Huang Xujie with their hands on their waists, staring at him.
Hao Ren sat still with Lu Linlin and Lu Lili by his sides. This small dorm room looked like a little courtroom, and the judge was in front while the security guards were on the sides…
Huang Xujie sweated in shame. He could have asked Hao Ren out to apologize to him in person, but he didn’t want Hao Ren to think that he was provoking him.
Therefore, he came to Hao Ren’s dorm in person to apologize in front of everyone to show his sincerity.
He was the man in the university for over three years, and Hao Ren put an end to it. It was very shameful, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn’t defeat Hao Ren, and a deputy mayor couldn’t defeat Hao Zhonghua.
“It really wasn’t me who called all those hooligans today.” Huang Xujie cut to the chase and pointed at his own lower leg. “See, I was injured too.”
He gritted his teeth in anger and said, “I have told the police chief to teach those hooligans a good lesson. It was so blind of them to p.i.s.s off Brother Hao.”
Although it seemed like he was talking about those hooligans, it worked on himself as well.
Hao Ren didn’t say anything as he was a bit annoyed by Huang Xujie.
Actually, Huang Xujie was just bluffing. He didn’t want his dad to find out about the fight, so he never called up the police chief. He was trying his best to steer clear from those hooligans.
“I know that you are injured too, so I got you some supplements.” Since Hao Ren didn’t say anything, Huang Xujie continued as he glimpsed at Hao Ren’s palm.
The cartoon band-aids that Zhao Yanzi got for Hao Ren was still on his palm. Since Hao Ren used lightning cultivation today, it made the band-aids a bit dark, but they were still on his hand.
Huang Xujie bought many expensive supplements for Hao Ren just because of this little injury. It was an interesting excuse to be visiting someone.
Zhao Jiayi and the other guys all thought that there must be something wrong with Huang Xujie. They thought he was here with a bunch of guys to cause trouble when he first arrived, but he came alone to give Hao Ren all these presents…
“Brother Hao…” Huang Xujie smiled sincerely and didn’t know what to say.
Since his dad was a deputy mayor, he had seen many more ridiculous things in the political field.
At this point, there was no need to be concerned about losing face anymore.
Therefore, Huang Xujie’s att.i.tude baffled everyone.
He used to walk with his nose in the air, but he was playing humble with Hao Ren now!
“Alright, you can go back. I am aware of what happened today.” Hao Ren waved impatiently.
He didn’t care much about what happened today, but Huang Xujie considered it a big deal.
“Um…” Huang Xujie came here on his own to show his sincerity, but now he wasn’t sure about Hao Ren’s att.i.tude anymore.
“Ok! Go already! Gongzi doesn’t want to speak with you anymore!” Lu Lili pouted and made a pus.h.i.+ng gesture.
“Take the presents too,” Hao Ren said calmly as Huang Xujie backed to the door in hesitation.
He didn’t want anything from Huang Xujie. He wasn’t afraid of Huang Xujie before, and neither was he now.
Huang Xujie clenched his teeth; he had no idea that Hao Ren would be so blunt with him, but what could he do?
“Oh, hang on!” Hao Ren waved at Huang Xujie as he suddenly remembered something.
Huang Xujie walked up immediately.
“Look into Xu Ke from the Mechatronic Engineering Program for me. He is a freshman,” Hao Ren said.
“Ok!” Huang Xujie didn’t expect Hao Ren to give him a task; he accepted the a.s.signment immediately.
“Also…” Hao Ren looked at him and continued, “We are very different people, so please stop playing humble with me. I’m not used to it.”
Huang Xujie turned pale in embarra.s.sment. “Ok, Ok…”
He stood straight and walked to the door. Then, he remembered that Hao Zhonghua was also a stubborn person.
“Hey! Take your stuff!” Lu Linlin reminded him.
Huang Xujie turned back and picked up the presents before he exited the dorm. His embarra.s.sed look was completely different from how he usually was.
“Hey! That was something!”
Zhou Liren stuck his head out to make sure that Huang Xujie had walked away. Then, he pulled his head back and looked at Hao Ren in surprise. “What soup did you offer Huang Xujie? How come he is so scared of you?”
All the guys wanted to know the reason for Huang Xujie’s sudden change of att.i.tude, so everyone looked at Hao Ren at the same time.
“I asked someone to beat him up. An uncle of mine is the owner of a martial arts dojo,” Hao Ren replied.
“Martial arts dojo?” Gu Jiadong and the other guys remembered those thousands of members of a martial arts dojo who came over to cheer for East Ocean during the National University Basketball Champions.h.i.+p at Beijing, and their s.h.i.+rts all had ‘Sun Yun Martial Arts Dojo’ printed on the back.
They all knew about Sun Yun Martial Arts Dojo since it was a national chain with millions of members. As the largest martial arts inst.i.tution, they even had branches aboard.
During the first year, the guys at Hao Ren’s dorm all wanted to learn martial arts. However, they gave up when they learned about the high cost and weekly schedule.
There were still many members from East Ocean University. For girls, learning martial arts could help them build a prettier body as well as for self-defense. It was more popular than other sports like yoga.
“So, Hao Ren’s uncle is at least a director at a branch. No wonder Huang Xujie is afraid of him. Sun Yun Martial Arts Dojo is where the special forces and policemen train and practice!” they thought.
Suddenly, they all understood. Although Huang Xujie was very arrogant, he was also scared of absolute power!
After all, the elite members of Sun Yun Martial Arts Dojo were tough people!
“No wonder Hao Ren was extremely calm when Huang Xujie provoked him before. He actually comes from a martial arts background! Also, no wonder Hao Ren is becoming stronger lately; he probably started to practice martial arts with his uncle!” they thought. They had seen a VIP card for Sun Yun Martial Arts Dojo in Hao Ren’s wallet last time, and they felt like it all made sense now.
A random explanation Hao Ren gave them made them all ‘realize’ what had been going on, and Hao Ren was surprised by the effect.
Who knew what kind of reaction they would have if they found out that Hao Ren’s parents were Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang?
“Ren! show us some moves!” Zhou Liren said suddenly.
“Yeah, yeah, show us something!” Yu Rong followed.
Hao Ren laughed since he didn’t know what to say. Zhou Liren ran to the public bathroom and pulled out a piece of red brick from under the sink. Then, he came back with it.
“Chop on this, chop on this!”
He laid the red brick on the chair and shouted.
They were all thrilled seeing how defeated Huang Xujie was. Now that they learned Hao Ren had a martial arts background, they wanted to see what he got.
If he were strong, the guys wanted to see it. If he weren’t, it would be nice to embarra.s.s him in front of the Lu sisters if he hadn’t. After all, they felt like Hao Ren was too popular amongst girls, and he needed to be cooled a little.
People from the nearby dorms heard the noises and saw Huang Xujie coming out of Room 302. So, they all ran over to watch.
Hao Ren wrapped his fist with a piece of cloth on the table. Then, he lifted the red brick on the table, and he punched out without touching it.
He waved his arm and threw the cloth on the table before laughing and shaking his head.
“What the h.e.l.l was that…”
“Are you playing with us? You didn’t even touch it…”
All the guys started shouting.
“Come again, come again!”
Zhou Liren walked over and picked up the brick. He was going to put it between two chairs.
The martial arts masters would usually do this on the TV. No one would punch out without touching the brick…
Pa! The brick Zhou Liren picked up suddenly broke into three pieces.
This sudden change stupefied Zhou Liren, and one of the smaller pieces even fell onto his slipper.
All the guys were astonished at this.
It seemed like Hao Ren never touched the red brick, but he already smashed it into pieces!
The dozens of guys became completely quiet suddenly.
“How much damage would that strike cause if it were to land on a person? No wonder Huang Xujie doesn’t want to get on Hao Ren’s bad side and came to apologize with presents!” they thought.
“Gongzi is so mighty!” Lu Linlin and Lu Lili broke the silence.
Hao Ren looked down and smiled before messing up their hair a little.
How could he be more powerful than the Lu sisters? They were putting up such a show!
The twin sisters laughed cheerfully; they just wanted to help him in carrying out the show!
The guys all looked at Hao Ren in surprise. They suddenly realized that the Hao Ren they had known for three years was actually a martial arts master!
“Brother Ren, one more, one more!” They took out their cellphones as they requested for another show.
They didn’t think that Hao Ren could do this, so no one had their phone out just now. The video would definitely go viral once uploaded to the school’s network.
“Ok, cut it out. I’m taking Linlin and Lili back.” Hao Ren slightly pushed the guys away and left the room with Lu Linlin and Lu Lili.
The guys’ jealousy was tuned down a bit when Hao Ren and the Lu sisters left cheerfully.
They thought that it was silly that the twins were following Hao Ren. Now that they saw what just happened, who would even dare to pursue after them anymore…
Compared to Hao Ren, those weak members of the Taekwondo Club were utterly useless!
“Hao Ren is actually very cool, and that is why Lu Linlin and Lu Lili are following him,” they thought.
