"What are we doing here?" Xiao Zhi Yuan asked looking at Ru who was acting all mysterious.
Currently, both of them were outside one of Imperial"s elite nightclubs which happened to be one of the hotspots for young Fu"er Dais[1]. Xiao Zhi Yuan had followed her here not knowing what was running through her evil mind.
"Oniisan! What are you looking for?" Xiao Zhi Yuan asked again but Ru disregarded his inquiry yet again.
"Shus.h.!.+" She made a gesture for him to stay quiet and pa.s.sed him a black hoodie, a cap, and a black mask. "Wear it! We need to hide our tracks."
Xiao Zhi Yuan took the hoodie and wore it silently but inwardly, he was still confused about all this. Were they undercover or something? Ru took him to the underground parking lot and started looking through the cars number plates.
Suddenly Ru stopped walking and Xiao Zhi Yuan almost banged into her back. "Why are we stopping here?" He couldn"t help but ask again in a whisper and why was he being so cautious, even he couldn"t tell.
Ru hid behind a pillar and surveyed their surroundings thoroughly. After that, she pa.s.sed the duffle bag in her hand to Xiao Zhi Yuan and said in a low voice, "Stay here and don"t make a sound... Let me clear the premises."
"Huh?" Xiao Zhi Yuan stood there dumbfoundedly as he saw Ru laying down on the ground and rolling under the car which was parked beside her. He crouched down and saw her rolling all the way towards the end of the parking lot taking advantage of the cars.
"All clear! Come out, little squirrel!" Hearing her voice, Xiao Zhi Yuan came out from hiding behind the pillar and walked towards her. As he came close to her, he could see almost ten bulky men in black suits on the ground.
"What did you do to them Oniisan?" Xiao Zhi Yuan was gaping at the bodies sprawled all around.
"Nothing much... I just let them have a taste of my special concoction of a sleeping potion." Ru answered off-handedly as she shrugged her shoulders. "Give me the bag." Xiao Zhi Yuan pa.s.sed her the duffle bag.
"Now, can we be clear about what we are really doing here sneaking like this?"
Ru gave him a sly smile and said, "We are here to break some jaws as promised." Xiao Zhi Yuan was left speechless. When Ru offered to break the jaws of his cla.s.smates back when they went to the mall, he agreed because he didn"t think she was serious. Who knew she was really serious?
"I thought you were joking with me back then," Xiao Zhi Yuan voiced out in a daze.
Ru put one arm around his shoulder and said, "Little squirrel, let me be honest with you... There are two "F" words that I love and I"d never dare to joke about them."
"What are those words?" He inquired with intrigue.
"Food and fight!" Her answer left her little squirrel to shake his head.
"But I really don"t want you to beat them..." Xiao Zhi Yuan really didn"t have any interest in finding trouble with those cla.s.smates. According to him, there was only a month or so left in their exams and after that, he won"t even have to come across them ever again. So, because of this reason, he had been avoiding conflicts.
"Who said I"ll beat them?" Xiao Zhi Yuan knitted his brows in confusion and Ru had to explain her words in detail, "Aiyoh, little squirrel! I"m a man of principles. Beating those high school kids is way below me. I only fight with people who know how to defend themselves. These children are of no value to me."
"Then how are we going to break jaws?"
Ru opened the duffle bag and pulled out a couple of spray paint bottles. Xiao Zhi Yuan grew even more confused at seeing this. "There is a lesson I learned in life... Physical wounds tend to heal way faster and that"s why always play with people"s emotions. They never heal!"
Saying that she shook the bottle of spray paint in hand and took her steps towards a red sports car. Now that Xiao Zhi Yuan noticed, he could see that those bodyguards on the floor were actually safeguarding this car. Looking closely, he could even tell the model of the car; Lamborghini Veneno Roadster. Impressive!
Xiao Zhi Yuan was really slow-witted since he was still thinking how could spray paint possibly hurt someone"s emotions but the next moment when Ru wrote "a.r.s.ehole" on the winds.h.i.+eld of the sports car, even Xiao Zhi Yuan"s emotions were hurt. "That was such a good car." He wanted to say but he still had no idea who owned this car.
"What did they say? You have a sugar mommy," Ru was just talking to herself as she again used the paint to write on the side of the car: This is a gift from your sugar mommy!
Xiao Zhi Yuan chuckled at the side. After she was done with her artwork on all parts of the sports car, she beckoned Xiao Zhi Yuan to follow her as they both went to hide. "Is that enough?" Xiao Zhi Yuan asked.
"Little squirrel, tell me how expensive is that car?"
"If I remember correctly, it"s about 4.5 million dollars or so." Xiao Zhi Yuan had quite an interest in sports cars which was why he always knew about these details.
"Exactly my point here," Ru said touching his head as if to pet him and went on, "I"ve checked already. This particular cla.s.smate of yours is obsessed with expensive cars just for the sake of his status otherwise why would a high school kid have one of the most expensive cars in the world? Trust me, this will hurt him more than my beating would have." Seeing her satisfied look, Xiao Zhi Yuan also became calm. Unknowingly, he had begun to trust Ru with all his heart without any questions asked.
They had to wait for about two hours before the owner of the car finally came out of the club to get his ride. That"s when Ru said, "Give me your phone!" Xiao Zhi Yuan gave his phone to her and she said, "And the show begins now!"
Xiao Zhi Yuan looked towards the car to see one of his cla.s.s bully, Chu Feng standing before the car. Now he finally knew who the car belonged to. But the question in his mind now was; how did Ru get to know about that Chu Feng was the one jeering him in school?
After all, others would think that it was Zhang Han who was looking for trouble with him because of Sheng Yue. But Zhang Han actually had nothing to do with his troubles in school. Since the time Zhang Han saw Ji Caihong standing up for Xiao Zhi Yuan, he knew that Xiao Zhi Yuan was not someone he could mess with. So, he backed off but others weren"t as sensible as he was.
"Who dared to do this?" Xiao Zhi Yuan heard Chu Feng"s screeching roar making him want to rub his ears. Then he saw how Chu Feng was crying over his precious "baby" while kicking his bodyguards who were still fast asleep on the ground. He looked miserable and it made Xiao Zhi Yuan feel the sense of victory.
Xiao Zhi Yuan didn"t know from where but suddenly, Chu Feng was attacked by raw eggs and rotten tomatoes. Not a single soul was in sight and yet there was plenty of trash being dumped on Chu Feng as if he was a dumpster. Even Xiao Zhi Yuan couldn"t help but laugh at his predicament. That"s how the karma worked!
Ru stealthily got Xiao Zhi Yuan out of the parking lot and edited the video which she had recorded of Chu Feng. After adding a bit of caption and emojis, she uploaded the video on Xiao Zhi Yuan"s school forum using a fake IP address.
"Now, enjoy the show until your last day of school," Ru announced proudly.
"That was childish of you, Oniisan." Xiao Zhi Yuan remarked with a slightly curled lips.
"Yes... It was childish but I did it for the first time. So, it was really amusing!" Seeing her excitement, Xiao Zhi Yuan didn"t mind this childish revenge.
On another note, one shouldn"t be calling it a childish plot since the car repair was going to cost a h.e.l.l lot of money. And who knew how Chu Feng"s parents were going to react. But obviously, even Ru thought it to be a childish but fun plot. After all, she couldn"t be too hard on high school kids. But that didn"t mean she wouldn"t do anything to those who dared to hurt her little squirrel.
