Chapter 28

After receiving a call from Xiao Zihan, Xiao He became extremely furious. To think that someone had been lurking under his nose for three years, and he had no knowledge of it. If it weren't for the accidental discovery this time, he wouldn't have known what Huang Xin might have done.

The person directly responsible for this matter was Ah Guang. She called Ah Guang, and once he answered, she immediately questioned, "Ah Guang, did I ask you to keep an eye on Huang Xin? Have you done it?"

Ah Guang replied, "Yes, He Jie, how come? Is this kid really a spy?" His tone became more serious with the latter part of the sentence.

"Damn it, catch him for me."

"He Jie, are you sure about this?"

"I'm sure, what are you hesitating for? If you don't go now, I'll cut you in a while."

"Yes, yes, He Jie, I'll go right away."

After hanging up the phone, Ah Guang cursed, "Damn it, Huang Xin, I trusted you so much, and you stabbed me in the back. Let's see how I deal with you."

At this moment, Ah Guang was near the "Minglin" Mahjong parlour, accompanied by several brothers, quickly approaching "Minglin".

The doorman nodded in greeting when he saw Ah Guang.

Ah Guang pushed him aside and headed straight upstairs, with the others closely following.

At Huang Xin's door, Ah Guang kicked it open.

As the door opened, just as Ah Guang was about to enter, a sudden glint came straight towards his forehead.

Quick-witted, Ah Guang didn't think, and instinctively rolled to the side. A scream followed, and the head of the guy behind Ah Guang had a large gash, rendering him lifeless.

Ah Guang shouted, "Cut him for me, he's a spy."

The one coming out of the room was Huang Xin. At this moment, he no longer had his usual refined demeanor, his face was full of sinister smiles. After knocking down a few people with his machete, he swiftly ran towards the stairs.

Due to his thorough calculation, there was no one on the stairs to stop him. He ran smoothly downstairs, shouting, "Guang ge got attacked upstairs."

Upon hearing this, the brothers downstairs rushed upstairs.

Except for the guy pushed aside by Ah Guang earlier, who didn't move, when Huang Xin reached him, the two of them left the mahjong parlor together, got into a van, and left swiftly.

"You useless bunch, why didn't you stop Huang Xin?"

"Guang ge didn't tell us he was a spy. Besides, he usually treats the brothers well, and we've never doubted him. When he said Guang ge was injured, how could we not be in a hurry?"

"Damn it, how do I explain this to He Jie?"

When Xiao Zihan returned to the Howling Flying Hall, Xiao He was scolding Ah Guang, with Yan Mei constantly defending him. Ah Guang kept his head down, not saying a word.

Seeing this, Xiao Zihan knew that Ah Guang had let Huang Xin escape.

Ah Guang, upon seeing Xiao Zihan, showed joy as if he had encountered a long-awaited opportunity. He knew that Xiao He now feared no one more than Xiao Zihan. As long as Xiao Zihan could intercede for him, everything would be fine. Moreover, this matter couldn't be entirely blamed on him; Huang Xin was too cunning.

"What's going on, Ah Guang, tell me." After sitting down, Xiao Zihan asked Ah Guang.

"Boss Zhan, it's my negligence. But damn it, Huang Xin is too cunning. First, he ambushed me as if he already knew I was going to catch him. He gave me a sudden attack face-to-face, then created some chaos, and even arranged for people outside the door. That's how he escaped. Boss Zhan, to avoid alerting him, I didn't inform the brothers earlier. I didn't expect that such a small gap would allow Huang Xin to capture me. Damn it, he's a cunning bastard."

Xiao Zihan sighed inwardly, realizing his thoughts weren't thorough enough. He initially made the mistake of thinking Howling Flying Hall would be attacked, and then neglected the capture of Huang Xin. He had to take responsibility for this. It seemed he should consult more with Ah Yang and Mei Er in the future.

"Xiao He, it's not entirely Ah Guang's fault. We all share the responsibility. We underestimated the complexity of the situation. Huang Xin could stay hidden in Howling Gang for so many years without revealing any clues; it means he's extremely clever. His escape this time was not accidental, nor was it due to Ah Guang's carelessness; it was a well-thought-out plan." Xiao Zihan explained.

"Yeah, Xiao He, the master is right. Ah Guang is strong and brave in battle, but when it comes to intelligence, he may not be Huang Xin's match. How can you entirely blame him for this?" Yan Mei said at the right time.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

Ah Guang nodded repeatedly, grateful for Xiao Zihan and Yan Mei's understanding.

Xiao He suddenly burst into laughter, saying, "Did you really think I was blaming Ah Guang? I, Xiao He, the head of Howling Gang, didn't get here for nothing. I just took this opportunity to deflate Ah Guang's arrogance, so he doesn't always act so high and mighty."

Ah, so that's it, everyone thought. But whether it was true or not, everyone knew it deep down.

Next was the discussion about the identity of the scar-faced person coming to kill Xiao Zihan.

Without waiting for Xiao Zihan to describe, based on the conspicuous scar, Xiao He mentioned a name - Li Weizhi.

Li Weizhi was the head of the Steel Tip Gang, a gang in Pinggang City, another major city in Jitong Province. It was said that he had been fierce and ruthless since childhood. The scar on his face was left when he fought alone against five ruffians, and he was only sixteen at that time. As he grew older, he became exceptionally strong and brave. After joining the Steel Tip Gang, he quickly became an indispensable backbone of the gang.

After hearing this, Xiao Zihan was sure that the person killed by Xing Ao was Li Weizhi. And the recent attacks on Howling Gang were likely the work of the Steel Tip Gang.

"The Steel Tip Gang is a major gang in Pinggang City, but how can Pinggang be compared to Changliao? Changliao is the capital of the three northern provinces in Jitong Province, and Howling Gang is a giant in Changliao. Even if the Steel Tip Gang dares, they wouldn't dare to mess with us without backing from one of the four major giants in Changliao," Ah Guang said.

Xiao He glanced at him and said, "Damn it, just after talking about you, you're still being arrogant. Why doesn't the Steel Tip Gang dare to act against us? If the Steel Tip Gang joins forces with one of the four major giants in Changliao, let alone us, any big gang, they would dare to strike."

"What Xiao He said is right. Ah Yang, what's your opinion?" Xiao Zihan asked with a furrowed brow.

Yue Feiyang pondered for a moment and said, "I agree with Sister He's explanation. If it was the Steel Tip Gang behind this, they must have some backing in Changliao; otherwise, they wouldn't dare take such risks. Looking at the timing of their attack, it coincided with the appearance of that Wu Xiaofeng. In reality, Wu Xiaofeng might have had nothing to do with them, just an incidental character. However, knowing Huang Xin's intelligence, he would seize the opportunity to make us believe the attack was related to Wu Xiaofeng, diverting our attention while they prepared for another move. The unexpected strength of Boss and Second Brother became their stumbling block, so they must be eager to eliminate Boss and Second Brother. Unfortunately for them, Boss gave them the chance. After injuring Boss, they didn't immediately try to kill him because they couldn't be sure of the severity of Boss's injuries. Once they confirmed it, they started arranging for the assault on Howling Flying Hall, striking when our morale was low. That's why they didn't attack on both fronts like last time. Unexpectedly, their plan to kill Boss failed, resulting in their overall defeat. I believe there might still be their people lurking around Howling Flying Hall now.

As for which gang from the Steel Tip Gang and Changliao might be working together, and who Wu Xiaofeng is, I'm not sure."

Xiao Zihan laughed heartily and said, "Ah Yang's analysis is truly exceptional. I believe the reality is probably not far from what you've analyzed. With the heavy losses the Steel Tip Gang suffered this time, losing hundreds of brothers and a key member, I think they won't make any moves in the short term. Once my leg heals, I will go to Pinggang to investigate, find Huang Xin, look for Wu Xiaofeng, and, of course, I won't let my injured leg go uncompensated. Perhaps, I'll take the head of the Steel Tip Gang's leader as payment."

"Ladies and gentlemen, our final destination, Pinggang Station, has arrived. Please ensure you have your belongings with you and do not forget anything on the train to avoid loss..."

The sweet voice of the stewardess echoed in the bus, waking up the already sleeping Xiao Zihan and Xing Ao.

Upon hearing that they had arrived, the two men adjusted their suits, got off the bus, and observed others carrying their luggage. However, Xiao Zihan and Xing Ao were empty-handed, free from any baggage.

Walking and talking, Xiao Zihan said, "Being wealthy is indeed comfortable. You don't need to carry luggage wherever you go. Buying things is the way to go."

Xing Ao agreed, "Boss, you're absolutely right. We owe it to Sister Mei and Sister Xiaohetun. Thinking back, you should have brought them along. The sad look in their eyes when parting makes my heart ache. And Snow, she was so reluctant. Boss, how could you bear it? They are not like my Xiao Qing, who has to go to school."

"Ao, can't you talk about something else? Why bring up old things?" Xiao Zihan replied impatiently.

"Alright, I'll talk about something else. Boss, look, you're back to being a teacher. Is that appropriate?" Xing Ao changed the topic.

"Whether it's appropriate or not, there's no need to think about it. Director Zhang knelt down; can I refuse?" Xiao Zihan replied.

The two men simultaneously recalled that scene a few days ago. They were on their way to the "Minglin" Mahjong Hall when they suddenly saw Director Zhang acting as if he had gone crazy, asking everyone for their names. Curious, they greeted Director Zhang. Unexpectedly, he hugged them tightly, tears streaming down his face.

They quickly asked what was going on, and Director Zhang explained that the school urgently needed them. At least one of them had to return to the school to take a position.

After a detailed explanation by Director Zhang, they understood that the major universities were organizing a teacher exchange meeting, and Director Zhang's sports department needed two teachers. He could only find one suitable teacher, but the other was nowhere to be found. This involved the reputation of the Sports Department of Changliao Industrial University. For someone as strict in scholarship as Director Zhang, there was no room for negligence. At this moment, he thought of Xiao Zihan and Xing Ao. Finding either of them would help maintain the image of the Sports Department, especially Xiao Zihan, who looked like an outstanding sports educator. So, he began his frantic search for them.

However, both had entered the underworld. How could they return to school?

But Director Zhang was determined to bring them back, regardless of their black or white status. Xiao Zihan and Xing Ao, refusing to agree, saw him kneel down on the street, shouting and crying that if they didn't return to school, he would not live. Frightened, the two of them hastily agreed.

It was on the street, a man kneeling and crying, threatening not to live if two men didn't return to school. What a scene, enough to attract the attention of thousands.

So, after some discussion, it was natural for Xiao Zihan to return to being a teacher. Therefore, Xiao Zihan was once again titled as a teacher.

As for why Xiao Zihan easily agreed to Director Zhang, it was because the exchange location this time was at Dianheng University in Pinggang. Pinggang was the second-largest city in Jitong Province, second only to Changliao City. But Dianheng University was undoubtedly a national key university, equal to Jitong University. As for why the exchange venue was not in Changliao, it was internal information unknown to others.

Xing Ao accompanied Xiao Zihan to Pinggang to protect him. Although Xiao Zihan didn't need protection, they were afraid of unexpected incidents, so Xing Ao was there as a precaution. Along with Xiao and Xing, there were four burly men secretly trained by the Xaofei Hall. These four men had excellent qualifications, and Xiao Zihan had identified them for special training to improve their combat effectiveness. In addition, Xiao Zihan's student, Cao Meng, had already undergone training at the Xiaofei Hall under Xiaohetun. Of course, the training methods were devised by Xiao Zihan and were absolutely brutal.

"Hey, are you two the exchange teachers?" A female voice interrupted their thoughts.

The two looked and saw a female receptionist with a reception badge hanging on her chest.

"Boss, I'm leaving now. Those four kids are probably waiting for me to train them." Xing Ao said.

"Ao, put more effort into it. I hope that after two months, they will make me look at them with admiration." Xiao Zihan looked into the distance and said.

"No problem, Boss. I guarantee you'll be satisfied by then."

The receptionist looked at Xiao Zihan and then at the departing Xing Ao, feeling puzzled.

Xiao Zihan knew that the way they addressed each other might be a bit problematic. He chuckled and said, "Miss, I think we should get going."

The receptionist hurriedly nodded. This special reception car was now missing one person, and she couldn't delay any longer.

Upon boarding the special car, Xiao Zihan saw that everyone on board was young, aged between twenty-five to thirty. It seemed that this exchange meeting was mainly for young teachers. Otherwise, why would Director Zhang be unable to find people? The teachers in the Sports Department were almost in their thirties, making it impossible for them to attend. But why hadn't Dong Qing come? Xiao Zihan thought for a moment and realized that Director Zhang was extremely biased towards men and disregarded women. Even if there were no other teachers in the Sports Department, he would never allow Dong Qing to come.

In the eyes of the crowd, Xiao Zihan, still being watched, sat in the last row of the car.

As soon as he sat down, a hand reached out, "Hello, I'm Yu Zeming, teaching computer science and currently an assistant. Nice to meet you."

Xiao Zihan looked to his left, where a thin figure of about twenty-four or twenty-five, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, with a handsome and refined appearance, extended a slender hand, waiting for a friendly acquaintance.

Xiao Zihan smiled slightly, reached out his long and powerful hand, and said, "Xiao Zihan, teaching physical education."

Yu Zeming warmly said, "I knew you taught physical education. Seeing your great physique, I really envy you."

Xiao Zihan chuckled and said, "The computer industry is booming. Don't you, kid, be content. By the way, can you teach me when you have time? I know nothing about computers."

"No problem, Xiao Brother. But you also have to help me exercise. I'm too thin," Yu Zeming replied.

Xiao Zihan patted his shoulder and said, "Good kid, let's work hard together."
