Yuan Shao laughed heartily, "About a year ago, someone cursed Yu Ge just like you did. Of course, there are even more people cursing him now. Hong Li, our relationship is not bad, right? Give me some face, and let's not make things difficult for Wang Hao."

As he spoke, he waved to me, "Wang Hao, come here, call Li Ge. If you want to mix in South City High School in the future, you can't do without Li Ge's care."

Naturally, I was unwilling in my heart, but since Yuan Shao asked me to call him that way, I had no choice but to speak up, "Li..."

But before I could finish the word, Hong Li immediately stopped me, "Hey, I'm not in the mood to take on another little brother."

I heard that, and I was actually relieved, so I just shut my mouth obediently.

"Alright, alright," Yuan Shao said again, "It's okay if you don't want to take him as a little brother, just don't make things difficult for him, okay?"

However, Hong Li laughed, "Yuan Shao, I've already given you face. I know Wang Hao is your little brother, so I didn't go too hard on him, just slapped him a couple of times. Otherwise, with my temperament, would he still be standing now? I can refrain from hitting him, but a thousand bucks must be paid."

"Damn it, dare to hit him again and see!" Meng Liang, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly cursed.

Hong Li stood up with a "swoosh," "Damn it, I'm talking to Yuan Shao, who gave you the right to butt in? Do you have the right to speak here?"

Meng Liang was not tall, but he looked extremely sturdy. When he got angry, his face would turn red. Now, with a flushed face, he said, "Aren't you just relying on Maizi to back you up? So what if you're tough? Do you think you're so great? If you're so capable, come and fight me one-on-one?"

"Hahaha..." Hong Li laughed loudly, "What era is it? Who still fights one-on-one? With so many of you, am I still a piece of cake? What's the point of fighting one-on-one? Come on, come on, come at me together, try to kill me!" As he spoke, he waved his hand at the crowd, looking very arrogant.

Everyone had angry expressions, but they all looked at Yuan Shao, waiting for his command.

"Hong Li, that's not what I meant," Yuan Shao waved his hand, "Meng Liang, say a few less words. We're here to make peace today, not to cause trouble. Hong Li, I have to be blunt, if our two groups start fighting, the consequences would be unimaginable, you should understand."

"I understand, of course I understand!" Hong Li still looked arrogant, "But my brother Zou Yang's pride must be resolved. Wang Hao must pay this thousand bucks, whether he takes it willingly or not! And he must apologize sincerely to my brother!"

Faced with Hong Li's aggressive stance, Yuan Shao stopped speaking and took out a cigarette from his pocket to smoke.

But this time, he didn't offer a cigarette to Hong Li.

"Hong Li, do you have to be so ruthless?" Yuan Shao said, looking somewhat weary.

Hong Li laughed, "Yuan Shao, it's not that I'm being ruthless, it's just that the situation has come to this, I have no choice. But to be honest, Wang Hao is just Meng Liang's little brother, is it worth so much trouble for you to speak up for him?"

Seeing Yuan Shao's difficult expression, and then seeing Hong Li's arrogant appearance, I suddenly felt very guilty.

Zou Yang showed a smug smile beside him, he could also see who had the upper hand now.

More than a dozen vocational school students were helpless against a high school student like Hong Li.

"In fact, Wang Hao is not Meng Liang's brother," Yuan Shao said again as he exhaled smoke.

"Haha, I saw that a long time ago!" Hong Li said triumphantly, "Tell me, how much did Wang Hao pay you guys to intervene?"

Yuan Shao shook his head, "Hong Li, don't assume everyone is like you, you know we don't care about money."

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

Hong Li spat, "I don't care who he is, I've decided for Zou Yang."

"He's Yu Ge's brother," Yuan Shao said, "I hope you'll think twice."

Hong Li's face stiffened for a moment, then he laughed again, "Yuan Shao, there's no need to bring Yu Cheng Fei into this, right? If Wang Hao is Yu Cheng Fei's brother, would he look so pathetic now? Do you think I'm a three-year-old kid? "

"I'm not lying to you," Yuan Shao said, "We won't allow anything to happen to Wang Hao."

"Don't mess around," Hong Li still looked arrogant, "Zou Yang is still Maizi's brother..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a brick flew from nowhere and landed with a "bang" on Hong Li's head.

After a muffled sound, it broke into two pieces when it hit the ground. Hong Li's body shook a couple of times, but he was indeed strong, he didn't fall down. Blood oozed from his forehead, looking very eerie. Hong Li stood up suddenly, looking fierce, "Who?!"

Everyone was also very surprised, looking in the direction where the brick came from. I followed their gaze and saw a familiar figure.

My neighbor, who always looked lazy no matter when, was also yawning at the moment, his eyes barely open.

Yu Cheng Fei!

Yuan Shao also stood up, excitedly shouting, "Yu Ge!"

Meng Liang and others also shouted, "Yu Ge, you're here!" "Yu Ge, you finally came!"

Hong Li wiped the blood from his face with his hand, looking at Yu Cheng Fei in disbelief. I noticed that his legs were trembling.

Zou Yang immediately rushed to Hong Li's side, nervously asking, "Li Ge, are you okay?"

I was naturally excited in my heart. After everyone had called out, I reacted and shouted, "Yu Ge!"

Yu Cheng Fei walked over with a yawn, obviously not fully awake yet. From childhood to adulthood, he always had this appearance. The most memorable time was when he was leaning on the frame of his house, eating for half an hour without touching the food in the bowl. When I went over to check, he was already asleep.

In my impression, Yu Cheng Fei was always lazy, without a trace of seriousness, and I never considered him as any kind of big brother.

But Yu Cheng Fei walked over lazily, and everyone had a respectful look on their faces, even the usually arrogant Hong Li kept quiet. I realized that a person's aura seemed to be amplified by the crowd, and now Yu Cheng Fei looked extremely impressive, like a leader in the underworld.

Yu Cheng Fei walked over, smiling at me, "Hey, Haozi, how's it going?"

My face turned slightly red, feeling a bit excited, but mostly moved.

It seemed like every person with "Hao" in their name would have a nickname called "Haozi," but only Yu Cheng Fei had ever called me that from childhood to adulthood.

"Yu Ge," I called out again earnestly. This neighbor I grew up with now made me feel distant.

Yu Cheng Fei smiled at me again, then yawned, and complained to Yuan Shao, "Why are you wasting so much time with him?"

The "him" naturally referred to Hong Li. Yuan Shao chuckled, "I'm just worried about damaging our relationship with both sides..."

"Relationship? Bullshit," Yu Cheng Fei muttered, "Whoever has the strongest fist has the say. How many times have I told you? You can't even handle such a small matter, it's making me feel like I haven't even woken up..." As he spoke, he picked up a half-brick from the ground.

Yuan Shao awkwardly smiled, "Wasn't I waiting for you to take charge of the situation?"

Ignoring him, Yu Cheng Fei aimed the brick at Hong Li's head, swaying it back and forth, seemingly gauging the force, making a "hmm" sound in his throat.

"How can you hit me, Yu Cheng Fei?!" Hong Li's voice trembled as he spoke.

"Why can't I hit you?" Yu Cheng Fei muttered, as he smacked the back of Hong Li's head with the brick.

Hong Li's body shook twice, but remarkably, he didn't fall down. However, he didn't dodge or run away, he just repeated, "How can you hit me, Yu Cheng Fei?"

Yu Cheng Fei had to say it again, "Why can't I hit you?" Another brick hit Hong Li's head, but this time with slightly more force. Blood oozed from the back of Hong Li's head, flowing down his neck.

"You can't hit me," Hong Li pleaded without the courage to dodge or fight back, his voice filled with desperation. "I'm Maizi's brother, you can't hit me."

Yu Cheng Fei hit him again with even more force, not aiming for the same spot as before, but selecting different angles on Hong Li's head.

"Tell Maizi to come and talk to me personally. Wang Hao is my brother, a brother who shares the same pants, you know?"

I was deeply moved. Although Yu Cheng Fei and I used to play together a lot when we were young, peeing and playing with mud, we were definitely experts. But as we grew up, he was a year older than me, and we both had our own circles of friends (okay, I'm exaggerating, Yu Cheng Fei had a circle of friends, I didn't have one because no one wanted to play with me), and our contact gradually diminished, limited to just saying hello when we met. But now, Yu Cheng Fei said in front of so many people that we were like brothers who shared the same pants, it touched me deeply.

Hong Li pleaded, "I won't dare anymore, I won't dare anymore. Yu Ge, spare me, spare me, I didn't know he was your brother..."

Zou Yang was even more horrified as he watched the scene unfold, probably not expecting such an outcome at all. The fierce and arrogant Hong Li dared not even fart in front of Yu Cheng Fei, let alone raise his arms to fight him.

"Damn it, aren't you going to lie down? Are you giving me face?" Yu Cheng Fei swung his arm round, and another brick flew over.

This was the fourth time. Hong Li was indeed tough, I saw his body shake several times, but he just couldn't lie down. However, after hearing Yu Cheng Fei's words, he immediately lay down, faster than if he had been shot. He lay on the ground, his mouth still pleading, "Yu Ge, I won't dare anymore, I won't dare anymore."

Yu Cheng Fei squatted down, "You can still speak, I didn't hit hard enough." Another brick hit him in the face this time.

This time, regardless of whether Hong Li could still speak or not, he wouldn't say anything anymore, tightly sealing his lips.
