School Beauty's Peerless Soldier

"Fuck this!"

Brother Ji cursed loudly and lifted his leg to give a kick, knocking Shi Lei to the ground!

In the past, Shi Lei had been very respectful to him, but now he had turned against him for Xu Fan, making Brother Ji feel like he'd been slapped in the face!

He coldly watched Shi Lei defiantly lying on the ground and sneered, "Shi Lei, you've got guts? Watch me cripple you today!"

Brother Ji, gripping a dagger in his hand and with a vicious look, prepared to destroy Shi Lei's hands!

At that moment, two of Shi Lei's underlings exchanged glances and then spoke up.

"Brother Ji! Wait!"

Brother Ji was stunned, stopping his motion and looking toward Sun Jun who had spoken, asking, "What's up? Sun Jun, you wanna stand up for your boss now?"

Sun Jun smirked and said, "Brother Ji, stop kidding. Look, let me handle this, how about that?"

"Sun Jun! You!"

Shi Lei, lying on the ground, was shocked! He didn't expect Sun Jun to betray him at this moment!

Sun Jun scoffed with a sinister smile at Shi Lei, "Shi Lei, did you really think I saw you as the boss? I can't pass up such a great opportunity when you don't cherish it!"

"You!"

Being betrayed by his own brother at such a time, Shi Lei felt as if his heart was being torn apart. Sun Jun then viciously kicked him in the stomach and sneered, "Listen to me, Shi Lei, from now on, don't call me Sun Jun, call me Master Sun!"

After speaking, Sun Jun looked expectantly at Brother Ji and said, "Brother Ji! Give me the gun, I'll handle this for you!"

Brother Ji and Brother Ba exchanged a smile, nodded, and remarked, "Humph, Sun Jun, compared to Shi Lei, you do know the times!"

As he spoke, he handed the gun to Sun Jun, patted his shoulder, and said, "Sun Jun, it's all up to you now!"

Sun Jun tucked the gun into his waistband, smiling confidently, and agreed. He thought, even if Xu Fan was highly skilled, could he really dodge a bullet?

"Brother Ji, Brother Ba, I—I'll cripple Shi Lei for you, okay?"

At that moment, another underling also spoke up, and Shi Lei felt utterly devastated. He hadn't expected that in the face of interests, the brotherhood he once trusted would be so fragile!

"You two..."

The pair chuckled smugly and said, "Don't blame us, Shi Lei. Good things can't just be yours alone. From now on, whether it's Zijing Middle School or the Flying Eagle Gang, we'll be the ones calling the shots!"

As they prepared to disable Shi Lei to secure their positioning,

Shi Lei felt a chill in his heart as he saw his former brothers approaching menacingly with daggers!

With Brother Ji and Brother Ba watching, there was no chance for him to run!

He was utterly despondent. Just then, he glanced and saw Xu Fan walking out from the school gate nearby.

This...

Shi Lei sneaked a glance at Brother Ji and Brother Ba; they had also noticed Xu Fan. Gritting his teeth, he suddenly shouted,

"Brother Xu, run! Someone wants to kill..."

"Fuck! Ruining my plans!"

As Shi Lei tried to warn Xu Fan, Brother Ji immediately kicked him in the back!

Dammit!

Brother Ji cursed silently! Now the entire school was looking their way. Was there any chance to act now?

It was likely that any movement would be spotted!

Though the Flying Eagle Gang might dare to assassinate someone, they certainly didn't have the guts to kill someone in front of so many people!

"Retreat for now!"

Brother Ji growled in a low voice and immediately led the three men to run into the distance.

…

Xu Fan watched the four people quickly slip away and repeatedly frowned, then looked at the ground where Shi Lei, who had called out to him earlier, was now lying in a disheveled heap.

"Shi Lei, what happened?"

Xu Fan walked over, helped Shi Lei up, and asked.

Shi Lei, having just suffered a brutal beating from Brother Ji, stood there shaking weakly, obviously in pain. He took a breath and panted, "Brother Xu, the Flying Eagle Gang, they want to kill you!"

"Hmm?"

Xu Fan raised an eyebrow, then remembered that among the four who had just escaped, there seemed to be the two from the Domineering Duo he had seen a few days ago…

After catching his breath, Shi Lei then informed Xu Fan of the full story.

After listening, Xu Fan chuckled repeatedly. It seemed that the feud between him and the Flying Eagle Gang had reached a point where they were incompatible like fire and water.

These guys had actually thought about assassinating him…

Xu Fan, looking at the somewhat disheveled Shi Lei, chuckled and said, "What's the matter? Why didn't you agree? You wanted to be part of the underworld, didn't you? The Flying Eagle Gang should be quite tempting for you, right?"

"No."

Shi Lei shook his head firmly and said, "Brother Xu, I've said it before, I'm with you! I, Shi Lei, look down on anyone else!"

In Shi Lei's eyes, Xu Fan saw the reflection of his former comrades in arms. For saving him and nearly getting crippled by the Domineering Duo without regret, Shi Lei really was a man.

Xu Fan smiled and patted Shi Lei on the shoulder, saying, "Shi Lei, if that's the case, then from now on, stay by my side."

Shi Lei, eager to follow him, made Xu Fan feel it would be rude to refuse any further.

Upon hearing this, Shi Lei became overjoyed, forgetting even his injuries, and excitedly asked, "Really? Brother Xu, do you really agree to take me on as your little brother?"

…

Xu Fan gave him a speechless glance. This guy, getting so excited about being a little brother?

Seeing Shi Lei's battered appearance, Xu Fan waved his hand and said, "Alright, enough talk, hurry and find a clinic to heal up first!"

"But, Brother Xu, the Flying Eagle Gang definitely won't let this go."

Shi Lei hesitated, reluctant to leave. He knew of the Flying Eagle Gang's strength; if they failed this time, they might send even tougher fighters, putting Xu Fan in danger.

Xu Fan gave him a look and said, "Just go when I tell you to go, no more nonsense! I'll handle this myself."

"This… okay then…"

Seeing Xu Fan insist, Shi Lei pursed his lips, unwilling to defy him, and promptly hailed a cab and left.

After watching Shi Lei leave, Xu Fan headed home alone.

He originally didn't want to bother with these gang hoodlums, but now that these flies had come buzzing to his head, it was time to meet them.

Soon, Xu Fan walked up to his front door.

He inserted the key, opened the door, and was ready to enter the house to prepare for tonight's action.

But just as he stepped into the room, a dark figure lunged at him!

Xu Fan reacted quickly, dodging the attacker's move with a swift sidestep!

Thinking it was someone from the Flying Eagle Gang, he instinctively prepared to counterattack and raised his hand, but then realized that the person now sitting on the ground was his teacher, Zhou Keren.

She seemed to have twisted her ankle and was now sitting on the ground, clutching her stocking-wrapped ankle, pouting with big, watery eyes looking very pitiful.

Xu Fan couldn't help but laugh.

"What's the matter? Little darling, sneaking around, didn't get a kiss from me and now you are about to cry?"
