Zhong Pinliang held a fist, sighing deeply as he watched Mengyao and Yushu walk away. Just what part of him didnt Mengyao like..?

Whatre you thinking about over there, Liang? Zhong Pinliang was wondering what flaws he mightve had for Mengyao to be that uninterested in him when someone tapped on his shoulder- it was Zou Ruoming.

Oh, Ming Bro. Nah, its nothing Pinliang said, not intending to embarrass himself in front of Ruoming.

Oh Ruoming said, not very interested as well- There was something else he wanted to talk about. Liang, wanna ask you something That Lin Yi guy in your class, whats his deal?

Zou Ruoming had almost equal hate towards Lin Yi as Zhong Pinliang did- the guy had ruined his plans for Tang Yin that friday night, and it pissed Ruoming off quite hard.

Yet hed made sure not to act recklessly, even when Lin Yi had slapped him across the face. Hed seen what the guy was capable of when he destroyed Heibao Bro the other day.

Hed decided to wait and see what someone of Zhong Pinliangs background would do to handle the matter. Ruomings own family may be pretty well off, but it was nowhere near the scale of success Zhong Fabais business boasted- All he really had backing him up was his brother Zou Ruoguang, a merciless gangster in the northern district.

But Pinliang didnt seem to be planning anything even days after Heibao Bro had gotten arrested- Ruoming could only wonder what kind of person Lin Yi was.

Lin Yi..? Hes just a farmer, thats what. Pinliang said indifferently, not stopping to remember that his father was a farmer himself at the start

Farmer? Ruoming wasnt sure if he was hearing Pinliang right- how could Lin Yi be a farmer? Why would a farmer be attending this school as a high school student? Was Pinliang trying to make an international joke?

He just transferred in, I heard hes from the mountains. He looked pretty much like a farmer his first day at school, with dirty clothes and everything. Pinliang explained as a thought crossed his mind- why would Ruoming be asking about Lin Yi from him, was he planning something? He hadnt heard anything about Ruoming having beef with Lin Yi!

Is that so Why arent you doing anything after what he did to you the last couple days? Ruoming asked, doubtful of Pinliangs explanation. Thered be no way Pinliang would just let him off the hook if Lin Yi really were just a farmer.

Lets not talk about that Pinliang said, shaking his head with a bitter smile on his lips. I even got a scolding from my old man for calling Heibao Bro out on my own, and you know how my dad doesnt like me messing around in school. Im not a match for Lin Yi, too- the guys from the farms, and hes really strong! There isnt much I can do to him.

Zhong Pinliang had more or less figured it out by now: there was a little something between Zou Ruoming and Lin Yi. He wasnt about to stop Ruoming from teaching Lin Yi a lesson, that was for sure.

So thats how it is In other words, Lin Yi doesnt have much of a background backing him up? Ruomings concern was Lin Yis identity- he didnt want to be messing with the wrong guy, since itd be pointless if there were consequences out of his league after hed dealt with Lin Yi.

Well, not that I know of I say, Ming Bro- whyre you so interested in that guy all of a sudden? Pinliang asked, as if not understanding Ruomings intentions.

Ah, its nothing. Just curious, you know? Ruoming answered. Well, Ill be going then, my friends are waiting at the court.

Pinliang curled his lips as he watched Ruoming leave. Curious? Curious my ass. It seemed that Ruoming, however, was about to go after Lin Yi, and that was good enough news to Pinliang.

Lin Yi and Xiaobo were walking out of the classroom for exercise break when they saw Wang Zhifeng rushing over, his face rather composed upon spotting Lin Yi. Lin Yi, come with me for a bit.

Oh, sure. Lin Yi understood- Zhifeng had to act like a dean with Xiaobo around- his relationship with Lin Yi wasnt something that could be revealed, after all. Lin Yi patted Xiaobo on the shoulder as he spoke. You go on ahead first, the dean needs to speak with me.

Okay Xiaobo was a little worried, but decided to leave the two be as he got going- it wasnt very appropriate for him to be asking questions in front of the dean like that.

Lin Yi only turned to the dean after Xiaobo had left. Is something the matter, Mr. Wang?

Well, Captain Yang from the criminal police force is here He wants to see you Wang Zhifeng smiled bitterly. Probably because of the incident last week. Be careful of what you say, just tell him you dont know anything when he asks you the questions. Ill handle this matter officially as a representative of the school later.

Zhifeng was quite committed to looking out for Lin Yi, it seemed. Lin Yi finding out about his secret was but one factor- it was also because of Chu Pengzhan, as well.

Ah Okay. Lin Yi knew instantly that it couldnt be because of the incident if it was Yang Huaijun asking for him- it had to have something to do with the prescription hed given him.

It was pretty nice timing- in normal circumstances, anyone would be either suspicious or curious if a criminal police captain just showed up at school asking for a student. The incident from last week was a good coverup for that.

The two made their way to the room Huaijun was in. Zhifeng pushed the door open before stepping in. Captain Yang, Ive brought Lin Yi. Let me say this in advance, however Its fine if you just want to ask him questions, but Id need to inform the principal if you intend to take him with you

Im just here to ask some questions! Huaijun smiled. Rest assured, Mr. Wang- I wont be causing any inconvenience for you.. Could you leave us?

Ill leave you two alone, then. Zhifeng nodded, closing the door shut as he left the room.

Well? Hows the prescription? Lin Yi asked, seating himself on a couch casually.

Eagle, youre really too amazing. The prescriptions better than the painkillers! Huaijun punched at Lin Yi excitedly as Lin Yi evaded the attack completely.

Call me Lin Yi. Lin Yi corrected.

Alright, your call, boss. Huaijun didnt mind either way- it was just a code-name anyway. Lin Yi, theres something I need to confess- I showed the prescription you gave me to my doctor But he gave me a guarantee that he wouldnt tell anyone else about it.

Haha, its fine, hell be able to save more people, right. Lin Yi said with a laugh, evidently not minding what Huaijun had done at all. What did he say?
