HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY! (if you celebrate)

Jiang Cheng threw the cigarette then turned around and walked toward the entrance of the alley.

"Hey! Don't go out!" Wang Xu shouted. "Do you think I'm afraid of problems?! We can't afford to offend Hou Zi and his group! Last semester, someone from Qi Zhong[1] was beaten to the point of being hospitalized for several months!"

"Can't afford to offend?" Jiang Cheng turned to look at him, "Such a capable bastard yet you're calling only Gu Fei over to deal with him?"

"Da Fei is different," Wang Xu said. "He grew up in this area as a child and also... anyways, just listen to me. Since you've helped me once, I can't let you go out there and lose your head ah."

And also... and also what?

And also, he killed his own father? Jiang Cheng suddenly remembered Li Baoguo's words and laughed inexplicably. For an old historical district in this small city to have such a legend within just a few streets, it was quite interesting.

"The fuck are you laughing at!" Wang Xu was angry with his laughter.

Jiang Cheng ignored him and prepared to continue on, but just as he took one step, Wang Xu held him from behind and then carried him back.

"Hey, hey, hey," Jiang Cheng was startled by his action. "Let go! What's your problem?!"

"Problem?" Wang Xu questioned shockingly and then suddenly loosening his hand. "I don't have any problem... I don't have any other intention ah! You better not misunderstand! Don't misunderstand!"

Jiang Cheng glanced at him: "Did I say you have any other intention?"

Wang Xu didn't speak as he dialed a number on his mobile phone.

Jiang Cheng sighed and lit another cigarette that was hanging in his mouth while he crouched in the corner of a small area and absentmindedly brushed away the snow on the ground with a twig.

"Da Fei, Da Fei," Wang Xu held the phone close and suppressed his voice as if that fellow Hou Zi was keeping watch in the courtyard beside them. "We're being blocked by Hou Zi... we ran, no, right now we can't get out... he got a bloody face from a punch, how can we leave! Who else can it be huh, me and Jiang Cheng."

Wang Xu said that while glancing over at Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng did not exchange any meaningful look with him. Although Wang Xu did not have many capabilities, he was not that terrified of others so for him to be scared like this, he reckoned, those people must indeed not be trifled with.

In fact, when he loafed around in his previous school, he also did not want to provoke others much - it was too troublesome.

Just thinking that Gu Fei was on the other side of the phone, he thought that it was better to go out and put up a good fight, but he was still rational. If he did go out, it might not be a matter of just one or two fights.

"Da Fei will be here in a bit," Wang Xu relayed as he hung up and used his foot to flick the garbage heap to the side. "He took his sister out to eat noodles... they haven't finished yet."

Jiang Cheng was simply speechless.

Wang Xu found a wooden stick about half a meter long from the garbage heap and threw it at his feet, then after rummaging through it for a while longer in vain, he started to dismantle the damaged three-legged chair.
