Chapter 384: Chapter 374: We Are Brothers! (2)

“We give up! We give up! Please, big bros, just let us off the hook this once!” A fiery pain erupted on his shiny head, but the bald man could hardly pay it any mind as he knelt and begged for mercy.

“Let you off the hook?” Li Qiuzhe slapped their heads again, seething. “When you had us so scared we didn’t even dare to leave campus, terrified you’d burst in and drag us out, did you ever think about letting *us* off the hook? So, now that you’re in deep shit and realize we’re not to be trifled with, you start begging? You think you can just act all high and mighty and then run away when things go south? The world doesn’t work like that!”

This was more than just pushing his luck. This was payback for every old and new grudge, all rolled into one. At that moment, Brother Ze from the Northeast couldn’t be bothered to think about whether the bald man would hold a grudge. A real man lives for swift vengeance and settling scores. Besides, after suffering such a humiliation, wouldn’t the bald man seek revenge if he ever got the chance? That being the case, they might as well go all out and have a blast while they were at it.

Just as this legendary scene starring Brother Ze from the Northeast was unfolding outside Dormitory C…

「Inside the campus supermarket.」

Qin Fan, who was monitoring the situation with his Divine Sense, couldn’t help but smile. Looks like our boss has the underworld in his blood!

“Mr. Qin, why not just kill that trash?” Amber, standing behind Qin Fan with her svelte figure, asked with a confused frown. She was referring to the bald man’s gang.

“Killing them would be pointless,” Qin Fan explained with a smile. “Even though Li Qiuzhe got into Jinling University, his personality will decide his future. He isn’t suited for business, and he’s certainly not cut out for a nine-to-five job.”

His answer only made Amber’s frown deepen. They’ve only just met, and he’s already planning for his new classmate’s future? Isn’t that a bit absurd?

The thought prompted her to speak again. “Mr. Qin, isn’t this a bit rash? You two have only just met. Are you sure you’ve figured out his character?”

Hearing this, Qin Fan paused for a moment before a slow, meaningful smile spread across his face. He uttered a single sentence that left Amber speechless: “We’re brothers.”

After dropping that line, Qin Fan walked over to a refrigerator, grabbed a bottle of distilled water, twisted off the cap, and took a long drink. He then resumed watching the scene outside the dormitory with his Divine Sense.

“What will it take for you sirs to let us off the hook?” the bald man asked meekly. His shiny head was already red and swollen from Li Qiuzhe’s slaps, but he didn’t dare make a sound as he knelt on the ground.

“You underworld types are all about making a show, right?” said Li Qiuzhe, who had always been fascinated by the ways of the Martial World. “If you want us to let you off, it’s not impossible. Tomorrow, book a hotel, set up a few tables for a reconciliation dinner, and formally apologize to me and my buddies. You’ll take turns telling each of us ’I was wrong,’ and we’ll call this grudge settled.”

Hearing this, the bald man snapped his head up, stunned.

“What? You’re not willing?” Li Qiuzhe raised an eyebrow at his hesitation.

“No, no, no! That’s not it, big bro! It’s just… that’s all?” The bald man’s eyes widened in surprised delight as he came to his senses.

“You think that’s too simple? Fine, then—”

Before Li Qiuzhe could finish, the bald man panicked and cut in, “No, big bro! Not simple at all! I’ll do exactly as you say! Tomorrow, I’ll book a few tables, bring all my men, and apologize to you and your big bros! How does that sound?”

Li Qiuzhe paused for a moment, feigning a mature solemnity, before finally nodding. “Fine.”

“So… you big brothers are willing to forgive me?” the bald man asked, his voice trembling as he suppressed his excitement.

“You guys have anything to add?” Li Qiuzhe turned to look back at his friends.

Add something? Add something my ass! You think you’re some tough guy, Brother Ze? Keep putting on your show! If we can just put this behind us, we can go back to being normal students. Why do you have to keep poking these gangsters?

But it was too late now, and what could they possibly say, especially in front of this huge crowd? Internally worried and uneasy, Wang Dalu and the others all shook their heads in unison.

“Nothing to add! Now get lost!” With a boisterous laugh, Li Qiuzhe mimicked Qin Fan, clasping his hands behind his back and looking down upon the bald man. “Be at the school gate tomorrow evening, and show me you’re sincere!” This pose looks so powerful!

“Yes, yes! Thank you, big brothers! Baldy won’t disappoint you tomorrow!” the man scrambled up from the ground, speaking rapidly as if he’d just received a pardon.

“Let’s go, the administration and security are coming!” Li Qiuzhe waved a hand, having spotted the campus staff and security guards rushing over from a distance. He had no idea how the two gangsters had managed to sneak in.

Hearing this, the two bald men immediately took off running. Seeing their pathetic escape, who would have thought this was the infamous Brother Baldy from Jinling’s eastern district?

“What’s going on here? Can someone tell me what just happened?” A refined-looking middle-aged man walked up to Li Qiuzhe’s group and spoke in a stern voice. The campus security guards, following a gesture from the man, did not give chase. He’d heard about the reputation of these particular troublemakers before, but he never expected them to cause an incident so serious that it involved people from off-campus.

“Sir, it’s nothing! Nothing serious!” Li Qiuzhe said with a sheepish grin. His unflappable nerve kept him from panicking at the official’s arrival.

“You call this nothing?” the man retorted. “Those were gangsters, weren’t they? Covered in dragon and tiger tattoos! This is a university, not some street market! We have rules and regulations here! I don’t know how they got in, and I don’t know what your relationship with them is, but I feel it’s my duty to warn you: if something like this happens again, you will face a major demerit, without a doubt! Think about that very carefully!”

With that, the university official turned and walked away.

“Hehe, take care, sir! Have a safe walk!” Li Qiuzhe yelled cheekily at the official’s retreating back. “I guarantee it won’t happen again! Next time any of those guys with dragon and tiger tattoos show up, I’ll be the first one to take them down! It’s every student’s duty to ensure a safe and peaceful campus for our teachers and classmates!”

「A short distance away.」

The infuriated official angrily flung his hand and muttered under his breath, “Unacceptable! Utterly unacceptable!”

“Our man, Brother Ze! A real G with a big mouth! Awesome! Awesome!”

Once the official was out of sight, an awkward silence fell over the crowd. Suddenly, Li Yunzhe broke it by thrusting his fist in the air and yelling.

“Brother Ze is awesome!”

Led by Li Yunzhe, the crowd of stunned students, eager to stir up trouble, also started shouting at the top of their lungs. Wave after wave of cheers washed over him. Li Qiuzhe, enjoying every second, smugly clasped his fists and tossed his head. “You honor me, you honor me! Let’s all keep it low-key, low-key!”

With that, he clasped his hands behind his back and swaggered back toward the dormitory. After a spectacle like this, there was no doubt his name would become legendary throughout Jinling University.
