Chapter 12: The Attack Of The Tycoon (12)

Ye Chen suddenly came back after he left with his dark eyes looking a little depressed. “Return my bicycle.”

Chuzheng spun the bottle of water while remaining expressionless and asked, “If I return it to you, will you treat me as a friend?”

“…”

‘You stole my bicycle and yet you want me to say that you are my friend?’

‘Did she knock her brain against the bicycle?’

Chuzheng stuffed the bottle of water in his hands again before raising her hand to caress his head. “Wait for me at the first level after school.”

Chuzheng left expressionlessly.

Despite her cold demeanor, she had begun to grow crazy in her head.

‘What a hassle!’

‘Why is there such a mission?’

‘What does he becoming tainted have to do with me?’

‘Why must I stop him from being tainted?’

‘Isn’t it great to be tainted?’

‘If a human had not been tainted at least once in their lives, how could their lives be considered complete?’

[Little miss, do you still want to go back?]King felt that if it did not speak out, its Little missy would go on to help Ye Chen to become tainted. That must not happen! She must be his friend!

“Are you not angry anymore?”

[…]’Oh, so she knew that I was angry! She had actually dared to give the King a nickname!’

“Bastard.”

[…]

‘Ah! I am so angry!’

‘The neighboring system’s Little miss is so gentle and generous but why is mine so… so hateful! I don’t want to talk to her anymore!’

After school, Ye Chen waited on the first floor of the school building.

As it was after school, many students ran up and down the stairs causing the building to be very squeezed and crowded and it was filled with the willfulness and freshness of students.

However, when Chuzheng came down, Ye Chen realized that her surroundings were very empty. It was as if somebody had placed a protective barrier around her and prevented people from coming close to her.

The students near her would size her up from time to time but nobody dared to talk to her.

The elegant and cold girl walked before him and Ye Chen could already feel that many people were sizing them up.

He tolerated the stares. “My bicycle.”

Chuzheng walked towards the place she put his bicycle with Ye Chen following closely behind.

The school had bike-sharing services and thus there were bicycle parking racks by the side as well.

Chuzheng pointed towards the parking racks and Ye Chen took a look at her before walking over to find his bicycle.

However, when he saw that his bicycle was left on the ground and was broken, the gloomy look in his eyes became as dark as the dark clouds in the sky.

‘So, this was her motive?’

‘Hmph…’

He picked up his bicycle in silence and Chuzheng had seen the bad state of the bicycle—tilted handles, loose tires, and scratched surfaces. It was obvious that someone had smashed it on the ground repeatedly and even stepped on it.

The harsh and furious gaze of the teenager turned towards her.

‘Goodness me!’

‘Which damn thing did it?’

‘This had nothing to do with me!’

‘Why was he looking at me like that?’

The teenager retracted his gaze and pushed his bicycle to leave.

Chuzheng followed him and the teenager turned around before saying coldly, “Why are you still following me? Haven’t you done enough?”

“It’s not me.”

“You pushed my bicycle away, if it wasn’t you, who would it be?” questioned Ye Chen.

“…” ‘How would I know who did it? I just casually parked it there. How would I know that someone would try to destroy it?’

‘They did not even let a bicycle off!’

‘Bastards!’

“Ji Chuzheng, if you want to bully me, you don’t have to play so many tricks.” Ye Chen’s grip on his bicycle handle tightened. “Are you happy now?”

With that said, Ye Chen quickly pushed his bicycle away and left.

Ye Chen was still in a fit of anger and hence Chuzheng did not chase him anymore and took out her phone to message San Mao.

San Mao rushed here as fast as lightning.

“Big Sister Chuzheng, what’s wrong?”

“Are there surveillance cameras here?”

“Here?” San Mao scanned the place. “There should be surveillance cameras here. Aren’t the bike-sharing services located here? The school must be afraid that someone would destroy the bicycle so there should be surveillance cameras here.”

Towards the end of his speech, San Mao nodded. “There definitely is.”

The school’s surveillance camera monitors were all in the security officer’s monitor rooms and as such, it would not be easy for them to look at the surveillance camera’s monitors. But San Mao had thought of an idea to bring Chuzheng into monitor rooms to check the surveillance cameras.

The bicycle was placed there in the morning and now that it was already after school, if they want to quickly check an entire day’s length of video, it would not be possible.

Chuzheng dug out a USB drive from the proprietress’ bag and prepared to transfer the video into the USB drive.

“Pss…”

Someone had informed her that someone was coming in.

Chuzheng looked at the transferring process and made sure that the transferring process had reached a hundred percent before ejecting the USB drive and left the monitor room quickly.

Ye Chen pushed the bike home and by the time he reached home, dinner time was already over.

He parked his bike downstairs before standing in front of it in silence.

After a long time, he went up and went back to his room amidst the cursing sounds.

Ye Chen threw his bag on his tiny bed before falling on it. He slowly curled himself into a ball.

‘Ye Chen…’

‘You must not lose!’

‘You must remember those who bullied you and one day, you must let them get their retribution.’

‘You are going to graduate soon.’

‘You can leave this place very soon.’

Ye Chen maintained this position for a long time until he could no longer hear anything outside his room. He got up slowly and walked to his table before taking out his homework to do it,

When he was digging his bag for his homework, he touched the bottle of water.

His face darkened as he opened his window and threw the bottle of water out.

Ye Chen let himself be immersed in his homework and did not think about anything else. He would only complete his homework.

Dong——

Something hit his window and Ye Chen’s hands froze.

He looked at the dark scenery outside the window with his eyes as dark as the night sky.

He lowered his head to continue doing his homework… He had just finished writing one word and another knock on his window could be heard, making the atmosphere feel very chilly.

Ye Chen rose up from his seat to open the window. The pale glow from the cold moon shone downstairs and Ye Chen could see a few figures.

The person who caught his attention the most was Chuzheng. Although she was standing under the moonlight, it still could not hide her brilliance.

The grip on Ye Chen’s window tightened.

She still had to create trouble for him at night…

Ye Chen did not want to go out as he feared for what would happen to him but the people outside kept throwing things at his window, disturbing the silent night.

Ye Chen put down his pen and opened his door to listen for a while. Once he made sure that there was no one in the living room, he went downstairs.

He had just walked out to the corridor and he saw the people standing beside Chuzheng apologizing to him with crying faces once they saw him.

“Brother Ye, I am sorry.”

“It’s all our fault, I am sorry.”

“Sorry…”

Ye Chen froze on the spot.

These people…

They were the people from this morning.

“Brother Ye, we entertained the angels unaware.”

“Brother Ye, please forgive us, we didn’t mean to destroy your bicycle.”

“Brother Ye, we know we were wrong.”

These people had apologized to Ye Chen profusely and had almost kowtowed to him.

These people had attended school in the morning and when their first class finished, they coincidentally saw Ye Chen’s bike so they teamed up and broke his bike. After that, they skipped school and were not in school in the afternoon.

It was not until Chuzheng had brought San Mao to find them that they realized that the person who saved Ye Chen that morning was Ji Chuzheng.

Since they were all in the same school, they naturally had heard about the infamous Ji Chuzheng.

Ji Chuzheng was rich and if she had really hired someone to deal with them, they were definitely not her match.

“Brother Ye, please forgive us. We won’t dare to do it anymore. In the past, we were wrong. We apologize to you.”

“Brother Ye, you can scold or hit us, as long as you forgive us.”

Ye Chen looked towards Chuzheng and Chuzheng was casually looking at those people who were kneeling on the floor.

“Shut up.” Ye Chen gave a deep scoff.

Those people immediately shut their mouths.
