At the moment, in a mountain villa in Tianhai City, Shen Lei was recuperating at home, feeling dejected and contemplating how to get revenge.
Just then, his phone rang. He took it out and saw it was an unknown number.
"Who is it?" Shen Lei snapped irritably.
"It's me. Why are you so short-tempered? Feeling itchy after not being beaten for two days?" Zhou Hong snorted.
Shen Lei immediately recognized Zhou Hong's voice. A surge of anger rose within him. Wasn't it Zhou Hong who had beaten him up and left him injured? He had originally wanted to ask Master Wu for help, but even Master Wu was no match. Now, Master Wu was also recuperating.
"What's up?"
"It's like this, there's a rich young master named Chu Yang. Investigate which family he's from. This guy dared to hurt my teacher, and I've already beaten him up. I'm afraid he might retaliate against my teacher's family if he's not satisfied. Go and handle it quickly," Zhou Hong ordered.
Shen Lei gritted his teeth. Handle your sister, he thought, but he wouldn't dare say it aloud.
"Can you handle it flawlessly?" Zhou Hong asked.
"Yes." Shen Lei nodded through gritted teeth.
"Very good. I'm staying at Tianhe Residential Area, Building 1, Unit 2904. You can find me here if anything comes up."
Zhou Hong hung up the phone.
Yang Xi came out of the restroom. She had just heard Zhou Hong mention Chu Yang's name and asked curiously, "Zhou Hong, who were you just talking to on the phone?"
"A subordinate. Didn't you say that Chu Yang has a lot of influence in this city? Are you afraid he'll retaliate against your family? Don't worry, I was just taking care of that."
"Ah." Yang Xi was a little incredulous. Zhou Hong had subordinates?
"Are you sure the person you called can handle it?"
"I'm not entirely sure, but let's try. He did a pretty good job on the last task I gave him, so I think this should be fine too," Zhao Hong chuckled.
"Mmm-hmm, thank you, Zhou Hong."
"Here we go again. Why be so polite with me? You're my teacher. In my hometown, we treat teachers even better than we treat our wives."
"Speechless." Yang Xi's face flushed slightly.
Zhou Hong noticed that his teacher, Yang Xi, often blushed, appearing quite shy.
"Teacher, may I ask you a personal question?"
"Uh, that depends on what the question is."
"How old are you? You seem so young, not like a teacher at all."
"I'm twenty-two this year. I took the college entrance examination at fourteen, and after graduating with a master's degree, I was only twenty-one. To take care of my family, I started teaching at Jinzhou University."
"So that's how it is. You're very intelligent." Zhou Hong now understood what the college entrance examination was. The original owner of this body had scored only two hundred and fifty points on it, which was why he was looked down upon.
"Do you have a boyfriend?" Zhou Hong asked again.
"Uh, no." Yang Xi's face flushed slightly again, and she shook her head.
"Haha, then you should find one soon, so people won't bother you," Zhou Hong said with a laugh.
"Mmm-hmm, I'll find one if I meet someone suitable." Yang Xi also smiled.
Zhou Hong had no romantic intentions towards Yang Xi. Although she was only two years older than him, her status as his teacher made Zhou Hong absolutely unwilling to harbor any inappropriate thoughts about her.
At this moment, in a luxurious mansion, a young man was crying to an old man, "Dad, you must get revenge for me! That bastard shoved dog feces into my mouth!"
"Hmph, how brazen! When I find him, I'll show him no mercy!" The old man slammed the table heavily.
Just then, a butler entered.
"Master, bad news. Someone named Shen Lei is calling you."
"What?" The old man's face changed. He certainly knew who Shen Lei was – the "King of Hell" of Jinzhou City.
"Hello, Senior Shen Lei."
"You're Chu Heng, and Chu Yang is your son, right?" Shen Lei asked coldly from the other end of the phone.
"Yes, yes, yes."
"Hmph, your son has offended someone I can't afford to mess with. He called me just now, asking me to eliminate your entire family. Are you trying to die?" Su Dan Novel Network.
"What?" The old man's body trembled.
"You and your son need to go to Tianhe Residential Area, Building 1, Unit 2904, immediately and resolve this yourselves. If I have to step in, I will destroy your entire family." Shen Lei hung up the phone, still seething with anger. Zhou Hong treated him like a lackey, but he didn't want to be Zhou Hong's lackey. So, he called Chu Heng, telling him to find Zhou Hong himself and not bother him with everything.
"Dad, what did that underground King of Hell say?" Chu Yang, the young man, asked anxiously.
"Slap!" The old man slapped his son, knocking him to the ground.
"Are you trying to get our whole family killed? Do you know that the young man who fed you dog feces, the one you're talking about, is someone even Shen Yanwang can't afford to offend?" Chu Heng roared.
"What? How is that possible?" Chu Yang was stunned.
"Hurry! Let's go to Tianhe Residential Area to find him and beg for his forgiveness. Otherwise, Shen Yanwang will annihilate our entire family!" the old man cried, looking like he was facing a great enemy.
The young man named Chu Yang was completely dumbfounded, finding it unbelievable that the person who had fed him dog feces had such powerful connections. Shen Lei, a man who could destroy them in minutes, was someone that person, whom even Shen Lei couldn't afford to offend, was somehow involved with.
Thus, Chu Yang and his father rushed to Tianhe Residential Area with the utmost speed.
"Teacher, you have class this afternoon. Why don't you take a nap here?" Zhou Hong said to Yang Xi at Tianhe Residential Area.
"Never mind, it's getting late, past one o'clock."
"Alright then, let's chat for a while, and then we'll go to the university together."
"Okay." Yang Xi nodded.
Zhou Hong and Yang Xi chatted about daily life at home. About twenty minutes later, the doorbell rang.
"Zhou Hong, someone's at the door."
"I hear it. How strange, who would come looking for me?" Zhou Hong wondered, getting up to open the door.
The door opened to reveal two people standing outside – Chu Heng and his son.
"Thump." Upon seeing Zhou Hong, both of them immediately fell to their knees.
"What are you doing?" Zhou Hong's brow furrowed slightly as he recognized them.
Yang Xi also hurried over and was greatly surprised to see Chu Yang kneeling at the door.
"Senior, I apologize. I have failed to discipline my son. My son has offended you. Please grant us a way to live," the old man, Chu Heng, said tearfully.
"A way to live?" Zhou Hong was confused. He had only asked Shen Lei to handle the situation and prevent them from retaliating against Yang Xi's family. He hadn't said he wanted to kill them.
"Senior, have mercy! Grant us a way to live!" The father and son kowtowed repeatedly at the door.
"Heh heh, your son offended my teacher. If you want a way to live, fine. Let's see if my teacher is willing to grant it," Zhou Hong said with a cold smile.
Chu Heng and his son immediately turned their eyes to Yang Xi and began kowtowing to her, "Teacher Yang, I have failed to discipline my son. My son has offended you. Please be merciful and grant us a way to live."
Yang Xi was stunned. She looked at Chu Yang, who had once been arrogantly self-important in front of her, now kneeling at her feet and kowtowing, finding it almost unbelievable.
