The Taming Of The Ruffian Hero

"You have to help me with my cla.s.s notes! The exams are coming, but w.a.n.g Xiang is out of his wits, Gu Xi"s mind is gone, and the b.a.s.t.a.r.d Zheng Kai has been quite busy hitting on girls. Now you are the only one I can count on so stop following me!" Zhao Yuan smiled lightly.

"You knew everything..." Lin Wenxi felt a little embarra.s.sed. He knew that he couldn"t track him because Zhao Yuan was too alert.

In the past few days, Lin Wenxi followed Zhao Yuan three times.

In the first trip, Zhao Yuan took the No. 12 bus. Lin Wenxi watched Zhao Yuan getting off at Normal University East Road and then he hurriedly followed after him. However, Zhao Yuan disappeared quietly all of a sudden, and Lin Wenxi couldn"t find him anywhere.

In the second trip, Zhao Yuan still took the No. 12 bus, but this time, he got off at Normal University South Road. When Lin Wenxi was looking for him, he found that Zhao Yuan got on the bus again from the front door immediately after he got off from the back door.

In the third trip, Zhao Yuan took only one stop. Then he took a taxi and pulled away.

Lin Wenxi thought that Zhao Yuan was nothing different from the past. It was just that the more time he spent with him, the more he realized that there was always a layer of dark clouds in Zhao Yuan"s eyes. Just like now, the sky was crystal blue, but far away in the distance, dark clouds along with heavy winds gradually surged up, everything getting colder.

Again, Zhao Yuan came to MO Capital, a city that never slept, where lights and shadows flickered all the time.

He already knew that if he gained the top-notch award in here, the Mo"s family would help him realize an unattainable wish. Besides, the people here seemed to be somewhat interested in him.

"What"s the requirement to get the top-notch award Zhang Dong got in here?" Zhao Yuan asked the shopkeeper.

"No comment," the shopkeeper said coldly.

"If you are not interested in me, why did you especially find a few brats in secret to fraternize with me and touted here as an awesome place? As far as I see, it"s no great shakes," Zhao Yuan said. It started half a year ago that there were always some people who tried to let him know the benefits of the highest honor in MO Capital. After bragging about it for quite some time, they seemed to think that he was not interested and hence they stayed quiet for quite a long time. However, once he showed some interest recently, those little tricks instantly popped up one after another. Someone in MO Capital valued him, Zhao Yuan was very clear and sure about that.

"If you don"t believe that, why does it sound that you are less sure about it recently?" With a cold smile, the shopkeeper handed Zhao Yuan a gla.s.s of wine.

One sip of wine and Zhao Yuan said with a smile, "Bear Gall Wine, it can clear hearts and brighten eyes. Since I can tell good from bad, then show me the way to talk in details."

The shopkeeper was slightly surprised, then he gave a thumbs up to Zhao Yuan and led him to the internal chamber.

"I will only answer three questions for you," the shopkeeper said, "Let me begin with your first question."

"Zhang Dong got the credit of "a.s.sistant of Mo"s family" here. He had only one purpose. It was that he wanted to see someone again and spend some time with this person," the shopkeeper said placidly.

"So you helped him to become one of the military instructors who were primarily responsible for the military training of Jifu University. And was he mainly in charge of the computer science department? This question is not one of the three questions. You may answer it if you like." After a little thinking, Zhao Yuan quickly understood.

"Yes, you are brilliant." The shopkeeper handed over an Albero Cigar and lighted it up for him with a diamond-studded Cartier lighter which was made of pure gold.

"What is Zhang Dong"s mission?" Zhao Yuan asked.

"Get one student from the military academy to work for him and support the student until graduation," the shopkeeper said.

Zhao Yuan didn"t have to ask who this student was because he could roughly guess that.

"Where is Zhang Dong now? The address must be accurate to the house number," Zhao Yuan asked again.

"This is the third question. Are you sure that all your three questions are not about the person himself?" The shopkeeper smiled slightly.

"I"m sure. Just the three questions."

"I can only answer what I know. He is still in the city, but none of you can hope to find him."

"I have finished asking. Now, it"s your turn," Zhao Yuan said.

"What do you want me to do?" The shopkeeper picked up a bean sprout gently, dipped it with a little sauce, and then chewed it slowly.

"To wipe out injustice for someone," Zhao Yuan said.

"Where does this person comes from? Where did the injustice happen?" asked the shopkeeper.

"People in Yangzi County and injustice also happened there."

"No problem. The thing you need to do for me is straightforward, as long as you can fight." The shopkeeper washed the Tea Bodhisattva he raised skillfully with the tea.

"Just say it directly."

"Get your task at the MO Heaven in the Jiaozi Road, Tianfu District. Someone there will tell you more." The shopkeeper stood up as soon as he finished.

Zhao Yuan rushed to the MO Heaven without stop. It was a thirty-storied building which was exclusive for the MO. The first 15 stories of the 30-storied building were universal recreation bath centers. However, all the stories above the 15th floor were all richly embellished superb palaces for resting. They said that the only key to the rest area of the 16th floor and the above was to have a credit card with a 1 million yuan overdraft at least. Each story would only take four guests per day.

The place Zhao Yuan was invited to was on the 3rd floor underground.

The person in charge let Zhao Yuan watch a match.

On the big screen, a man with a murderous face was violently punching a man lying on the ground. It looked like the man lying on the ground was already unconscious. Foaming at the mouth, he could only breathe in but couldn"t breathe out.

"He was sent here by our compet.i.tor to sabotage our business and occupied our King Bonus every time. For the time being, we don"t have a competent person who can help us to get rid of him. So now everything depends on you." The person in charge looked at Zhao Yuan calmly and then took some time to explain the process of partic.i.p.ating in the compet.i.tion in detail.

"If you take the task, you should begin your training tonight and take part in the match as early as possible. I should warn you that you are going to play each match on the sign of life and death. Thus, if you don"t do your utmost to win, you may be killed by the people who fell to the ground playing dead long before you enter the final match!" the person in charge said.

Zhao Yuan nodded seriously.

He could only fight to the death.

A few days ago.

The public security bureau officially informed Zhao Yuan that his father, Zhao Mingjiang, was formally arrested for murder.

Faint and dizzy, Zhao Yuan hurried to the other side of the small city where his father used to purchase goods. He was familiar with everything there, but only not the solemn and awe-inspiring public security bureau.

When his father Zhao Mingjiang was purchasing the goods, he came across the criminal who raped his wife that year. The man fled after he committed the crime, and didn"t know whether the man was protected or somehow that there was no news from him for the past ten years or so. However, that man provoked his father in broad daylight. Then in a huff, his father hurled the weight violently at the head of that man. Seeing that man keep twitching and his blood streaming down from his head, his father whose eyes were red with anger continued to hit the weight vehemently on that man until the man was lying on the ground and couldn"t move anymore. His father called the police himself and waited there for the police officers to lock both of his hands with burnished handcuffs. It was a pair of calloused hands, typically belonged to a farmer. With such a pair of hands, his father once had everything under perfect control and vowed to build the tallest building in the small city named after his wife.

The decision of life and death was made only in a moment. It was so easy to blur good and evil.

The rape case of the year had been filed a long time ago. Initially, the evidence was verified. But then, the evidence was missing, and it became a case of pendency. It was impossible to prove that the rapist his father said was the man who was killed by his father. Even worse, Zhao Yuan could never unearth the crime the man committed, and so that man became an innocent victim instead.

Zhao Yuan suddenly understood why that man dared to swagger around and didn"t even bother to avoid his father. Perhaps the evidence was destroyed recently! Fortunately, the local police station also found this such that they hadn"t yet convicted his father, and so the situation of his father could still be remedied.

Zhao Yuan"s first thought was to turn to Lin Wenxi"s father Lin Ziwei for help. Lin Ziwei looked into his father"s case once though he left the case unsettled eventually. However, Lin Ziwei must have grasped lots of truths in that case.
