Ye Zhan stood beside me, and we both looked out the window facing the corridor, watching the thousands of students doing radio exercises.

After the second class in the morning, neither Ye Zhan nor I went to do the exercises. Instead, we were having our final secret meeting.

"Wheat is a local and a big shot at Cheng Gao, so he never easily goes to the cafeteria," Ye Zhan said. "He thinks that place is dirty and messy, not suitable for someone of his status. But recently, he's been chasing after a girl who's known to be very obedient, living a routine life between the dormitory, classroom, and cafeteria. If Wheat wants to get close to her, he has to be at the cafeteria. For this reason, Wheat has arranged a heroic rescue act, which will be staged at the cafeteria tomorrow at noon."

"And," Ye Zhan grinned, "Wheat wants to show his bravery and not let anyone steal his thunder, so he won't have more than three people with him. And there will only be two small hooligans accompanying him in the 'heroic rescue' act."

"So, Wheat will have a maximum of five people around him?" I was delighted. "Ye Zhan, is the intelligence reliable?"

Ye Zhan looked smug. "Of course, who do you think found out? Although my status at Cheng Gao isn't that great, my network is pretty good. Finding out Wheat's whereabouts was simple!"

I rubbed my hands together. I noticed that I tend to do that when I'm excited. "Well done, Ye Zhan. We're going to make a name for ourselves!"

"Yeah, yeah," Ye Zhan nodded, but he looked a bit worried as he glanced at me. "Wang Hao, there are thirteen of us against six, including Wheat. Are you sure you still want to deal with Wheat alone? What if..."

"Don't worry!" I patted Ye Zhan on the shoulder, smiling. "I'm confident. Leave it to me!"

After the radio exercises, students returned to their classrooms. I sat at my desk, chatting casually with Liu Zihong, but my eyes kept darting towards Xia Xue. She seemed lively, laughing and talking with some male students, which made me feel a pang of jealousy. I remembered Su Xiaobai's words from last night. If he really wants to reconcile with her, she...

Just as I was thinking, a voice suddenly came from the classroom door. "Xia Xue, come out for a moment."

My heart raced, and I looked up to see Su Xiaobai. He was definitely a charismatic figure, the dream guy of many girls. His appearance at the classroom door silenced the entire room, and everyone's eyes were on him.

My heart sank, and my hands and feet turned icy cold. The classroom erupted into chatter, with many girls discussing Su Xiaobai. "Wow, Su Xiaobai is so handsome." "I wish I could be his girlfriend!" "..."

My heart was in turmoil, and the excitement of the impending flour plan was overshadowed.

"Lao G, it's better not to have that kind of girl," Liu Zihong said quietly beside me, knowing exactly what I was thinking.

"Don't talk about her," I said softly, taking out my English book and forcing myself to focus. Would Xia Xue go back to Su Xiaobai just because he waved at her? Would she? Would she? Thinking about this question, my hands trembled slightly.

Until the bell rang for class, Xia Xue returned to the classroom. I couldn't tell her expression, but she sat down calmly, as if nothing had happened. I felt anxious and quickly wrote a note to her: "What did Su Xiaobai want with you?" After a while, the note was passed back to me with just one line written on it: "Brick's brother-in-law, this has nothing to do with you, right?"

I crumpled the note into a ball, feeling like I'd been shot hundreds of times with a machine gun. Perhaps they had reconciled already. My charm was no match for Su Xiaobai's rich and handsome image. I slumped onto my desk, recalling the sweet and happy moments with Xia Xue in the past.

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

Maybe it's for the best. It'll allow me to be with Taotao peacefully. Thinking of Taotao made me feel a little better. I owed her so much, and this was a chance to make it up to her. Then, I remembered the flour plan for tomorrow. My mind cleared up a bit. Killing Wheat was the most important thing, and everything else could wait.

In my mind, I went through the flour plan again, and I even drew a sketch with pen and paper, detailing which of the thirteen of us would make the first move, who would follow, how to control Wheat's companions, and how to ensure a one-on-one confrontation between Wheat and me. Although we had rehearsed this plan countless times, the thought of actually implementing it tomorrow made my palms sweat with nervousness.

As the end of class approached, I had mentally gone through the plan eight times, which I believed to be absolutely perfect and foolproof. However, the closer I got to the end, the more a subtle worry crept into my mind. I couldn't quite pinpoint what I was worried about, and it frustrated me to no end. The plan was flawless, but my subconscious kept telling me that something was off.

What was wrong? I was driving myself crazy with this question, knowing that there must be an issue, but unable to find it! What was happening? What was happening? Beads of sweat dripped down my forehead, and even the sketch paper was damp with it. Liu Zihong looked at me anxiously. "Brother Hao, what's wrong?"

"Something's not right," I gasped. "But I don't know what."

Liu Zihong frowned as he looked at the sketch. "There's nothing wrong with it. Brother Hao, you're the smartest person I've ever met. Trust me, you're just nervous. Let's gather at noon and rehearse it again."

Looking at the sketch, I suddenly thought of someone. Maybe he knew the answer. He had always been smarter than me, even deciding how much pee to pee and how much mud to play with.

"We're not rehearsing at noon," I said. "I need to go out for a while."

"Um, okay," Liu Zihong said, looking puzzled.

At the end of school, I left alone and went to the nearby internet cafe. Luck was on my side this time; Yu Chengfei was there, though he was already asleep on the keyboard. Some kind of cheat program was running on the computer screen, automatically leveling up his character. "Mouse, long time no see." "Mouse, haven't been bullied lately?" Yuan Shao and Meng Liang greeted me.

"Hehe, not at all," I greeted them back and vigorously shook Yu Chengfei's head.

"That's useless," Yuan Shao laughed. "We've tried countless times, but never once succeeded in waking him up."

"What should we do then?" I knew Yuan Shao must have a solution and quickly fetched him a cigarette.

Yuan Shao took a satisfied puff before saying, "Shout 'Nannan is here!' in Yu Ge's ear. It's guaranteed to work!"

I asked in confusion, "Who's Nannan?"

Yuan Shao smirked, "Nannan is Yu Ge's latest girl. According to Yu Ge's style, he changes girls every week. Unfortunately, this Nannan is not someone to mess with. She's famous for her temper, even in the vocational school. She said if Yu Ge dares to dump her, she'll castrate him! Damn, it's the first time I've seen Yu Ge so troubled. Now he doesn't even dare to go back to the dormitory and treats the internet cafe as his home, eating, drinking, and even relieving himself here."

I wondered, "Why do I feel like you guys are enjoying this?"

"Of course, we're enjoying it!" Yuan Shao exaggeratedly said, "How many times in life do you get to see Yu Ge get beaten by a woman, especially a woman? Hahaha..." He laughed, and Meng Liang and the others joined in, clearly having a great time.

Armed with the trick to wake up Yu Chengfei, I immediately went to his side and whispered in his ear, "Nannan is here!"

Yu Chengfei instantly jolted awake, grabbed the clothes on the back of the chair, and swung his legs back, ready to dash towards the back door of the internet cafe. He was as nimble as a hare and as fast as lightning.

"Hey, Yu Ge, Yu Ge." I reached out to stop him. "It's me, it's me. Nannan isn't here."

Yu Ge blinked, looked at me for a long time before saying, "It's you, Mouse. How do you know about Nannan?" At the same time, he glared at Yuan Shao and the others. They pretended to be completely absorbed in playing games, not engaging in Yu Chengfei's stare-down.

"I've been calling you for half a day without waking you up," I said helplessly. "There's no other way, so I had to use this last resort."

"Don't randomly shout in the future," Yu Chengfei said even more helplessly. "People can't be scared when they're sleeping. You know that, right? What's up? Did you come to me for something?"

I nodded. "Yes." Then, I dragged Yu Ge outside the internet cafe.

Once outside, I explained everything that had happened over the past few days, including what Slap King had told me. I had never lied to Yu Ge, even telling him about being forced by Brick to propose to Taotao. After all, since I came to Beiyuan City, Yu Chengfei had been my closest person. "Slap King said this is a double-edged sword, not only driving Wheat out of Cheng Gao but also using the opportunity to support me as the new boss, maintaining the stability of Cheng Gao as before."
