Chapter 13: A Twisted Heart of Revenge
"What bad luck!"
"All the allowance I saved up for two years is gone! I was planning to buy a brand new camera!"
Chen Junrong walked down the street, muttering curses under his breath.
He had just broken up with Scarface and gave him 1,200 yuan to settle the matter.
As long as Scarface and his gang leave the city and don't come back, everything will be fine once the storm passes.
Although Chen Junrong felt bad about losing his pocket money, he still felt particularly happy when he thought about Lin Bei being stabbed and even losing half his life.
Why is it that when two children from poor families confess their feelings to the same girl, they get completely different results?
Lin Bei could continue to be friends with Su Qianqian, but he was humiliated in front of so many people.
However, he will have plenty of opportunities in the future, and he is determined to win Su Qianqian's heart!
Thinking of this, Chen Junrong reached out and touched the frame of his glasses, a cold smile playing on his lips.
Just as he was about to continue walking forward, he suddenly saw a familiar figure in front of him.
Ok? !
Is that Lin Bei?
Wasn't he stabbed and still lying in the hospital receiving treatment?
Chen Junrong thought he had mistaken someone for someone else. He took off his glasses, wiped the mirror with a handkerchief, and put them back on.
As it turned out, the person not far away was indeed Lin Bei.
Lin Bei also saw him and waved to him.
"Chen Junrong!"
"What a coincidence! Where did you go for fun?"
Lin Bei, carrying two packing bags, quickly walked up to Chen Junrong.
"You…" Chen Junrong said in surprise, "Weren't you stabbed?"
"Why are you alright?"
"Stabbed?" Lin Bei thought for a moment before realizing what Chen Junrong meant.
"Oh, you're talking about what happened at the internet cafe, right?"
"I wasn't the one who got stabbed. I had already left by then. I guess someone else was playing because they still had time on the machine."
"What?" Chen Junrong was dumbfounded, and his expression changed from shock to anger.
The person who was stabbed was not Lin Bei at all?
He left early?
Damn it!
What are Scarface and his gang doing? They explained everything so clearly, yet they still managed to mistake one person for another!
Not only did the matter not get done, but he also lost 1,200 yuan for nothing!
Damn it, damn it!
Lin Bei, seeing Chen Junrong standing there in a daze, his face displaying a wide range of expressions, asked curiously:
"What's wrong with you?"
"N-nothing...it's nothing," Chen Junrong's expression quickly vanished, replaced by an awkward smile.
Lin Bei asked, "By the way, how did you know I was stabbed at the internet cafe?"
Chen Junrong's eyes darted around quickly: "I heard it from someone else. He stayed up all night at an internet cafe and said he saw you there too."
"I see." Lin Bei nodded.
Chen Junrong chuckled awkwardly twice: "Um... I have something to do, so I'll head back first."
"Let's get together again when we have time."
Before Lin Bei could speak, Chen Junrong turned and hurriedly left.
Lin Bei watched Chen Junrong's retreating figure, his brows furrowing slightly.
A few seconds later, Chen Junrong turned into an empty alley, picked up his phone, and made a call.
The call was quickly connected, and an anxious voice came through.
"Don't rush us, we're already on the bus, we'll be on the highway soon!"
Chen Junrong immediately cursed, "Du Ran, what kind of work are you doing? You've mistaken me for someone else, you know that?"
"The person who was stabbed in the internet cafe this morning wasn't my classmate at all."
"I already told you his name is Lin Bei, he has flaxen hair, and he sits in machine number 43. His features are so obvious, how could you still mistake him!"
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone before someone said, "Whether he's your classmate or not, you're the one who made us do it. If anything goes wrong, you're the one who's unlucky."
Scarface and his gang don't care whether the person they stabbed this morning was Chen Junrong's classmate or not.
Even if it's someone else, the consequences will be the same once they call the police.
"That's all for now. We'll contact you again once we've settled in. Goodbye!"
"Hey, I haven't finished speaking... Hey, feed me???"
Chen Junrong became even more furious when he saw that the other party had hung up the phone.
"Damn it!" Chen Junrong cursed angrily and kicked the trash can next to him.
With a loud "bang!", the trash can was kicked over, and the garbage inside spilled all over the ground.
Feeling unsatisfied, he slammed his fist against the wall again to vent his anger.
"Damn it, I'm so damn unlucky!"
He really lost out this time!
Not only did they fail to teach the person a lesson, but they also accidentally injured others and lost a lot of money.
Chen Junrong cursed a few times before turning and leaving.
Shortly after Chen Junrong left, Lin Bei emerged from behind a nearby pillar.
He watched Chen Junrong's departing figure, a hint of confusion and gloom flashing in his eyes.
Lin Bei sensed something was off about Chen Junrong when they were talking; he seemed distracted.
In particular, when Chen Junrong saw him, his first reaction was panic and surprise.
It's as if seeing him uninjured is impossible.
Not to mention that Chen Junrong knew that the person stabbed in the internet cafe wasn't him, and that's how his expressions became so varied in such a short time.
Therefore, Lin Bei concluded that the stabbing incident at the internet cafe must be related to Chen Junrong.
Sure enough, after following Chen Junrong and eavesdropping on his conversation, I finally understood the reason behind it.
However, Lin Bei didn't understand. He and Chen Junrong were just ordinary classmates before, and they didn't have much interaction, let alone any grudges.
Why did he suddenly send someone to teach him a lesson?
Lin Bei closed his eyes and remained silent for a moment, then went through the past in his mind again, but he couldn't find any reason to have offended Chen Junrong.
A moment later, Lin Bei opened his eyes, took out his phone from his pocket, and made a call.
The call connected quickly: "Hello, what's up?"
Lin Bei: "Old Gao, what happened after I left the KTV room last night?"
"Yes!" Old Gao became instantly interested when he mentioned this: "Not long after you left, the waiter asked someone to settle the bill."
"Someone asked the waiter to find you and said that this KTV party was a gathering you organized to confess your love to the campus belle of Suzhou University, so you should pay for it."
"Bullshit!" Lin Bei said speechlessly, "I only said I wanted to confess, I didn't organize any kind of event. Who's spreading rumors?"
Old Gao continued, "That's not important; what happens next is the real excitement."
"Chen Junrong paid the bill and, in the process, confessed his feelings to the campus belle of Su University!"
"Chen Junrong confessed to Su Qianqian?" Lin Bei was completely taken aback that Chen Junrong would confess to Su Qianqian.
Previously, Chen Junrong's impression on Lin Bei was that he was aloof and somewhat insecure.
It seems that the demolition of his house recently gave Chen Junrong a lot of courage, as he dared to confess his feelings to Su Qianqian directly. His courage is truly commendable.
"And then?"
Did Chen Junrong's confession fail?
"That's right!" Old Gao laughed, "The campus belle Su rejected him outright and even humiliated him thoroughly?"
Ok? !
Lin Bei looked surprised.
It was inevitable that Chen Junrong's confession would fail, so why was he humiliated as well?
Lin Bei instantly sensed the gossip in the air.
