Super Soldier in Campus

"Cheng Yu!" Wu Lian was so angry his beard almost bristled. Pointing at Cheng Yu's nose, he said, "Don't push your luck when I'm trying to be reasonable! I'm telling you, I've never considered you part of the Wu family! Don't think I don't know your situation. You probably owe the hospital fifty or sixty thousand yuan in medical fees by now! You're truly shameless. If I tell this hospital that you have hundreds of thousands from the expropriation funds but are deliberately withholding payment, what do you think would happen?"

"You..." Cheng Yu was so furious with Wu Lian that she even forgot to call him Third Uncle. Panting heavily, she said in a low, trembling voice, "Can you be any more despicable? Taking all of Wu Nian's land wasn't enough for you? Why must you be so ruthless?!"

"Despicable? Ruthless?" Wu Lian sneered and shook his head. "It's not me being ruthless... We didn't forcibly take Wu Nian's land. It was you who couldn't bear the solitude, insisted on coming to Jiangzhou, and refused to live in Wu Family Village. Seeing Wu Nian's land untended, we were 'forced' to confiscate it, that's all!"

"What a fine 'forced'!" Cheng Yu's eyes nearly spat fire. She knew all too well that when she lived in Wu Family Village, those clansmen had intentionally used sarcasm and ridicule to make her feel unwelcome, precisely to drive her away. But such subtle bullying was hard to prove, making it impossible to explain the whole truth. Besides, her primary reason for insisting on moving to Jiangzhou back then was for Wu Mei's well-being!

"Anyway, I won't say much more. I didn't come all this way for nothing. I'll give you two options!" Wu Lian took out two documents and a check from the briefcase he carried, placed them in front of Cheng Yu, and stated calmly, "First, sign the contract and take this six-hundred-thousand-yuan check. Second, we find someone to forge your signature on the contract, and then we hand this cashier's check over to the hospital. You decide!"

"You..." Cheng Yu was about to be driven mad by Wu Lian, who was now revealing his vicious side. To her, these two options were no different; both were forcing her down a dead end.

"Cheng Yu, I've said all I can, good words and bad. I won't drag this out with you. I'll give you one minute to consider!" Wu Lian said smugly. She actually owes the hospital over fifty thousand in medical fees. Wu Lian was certain he had this sickly woman exactly where he wanted her. As long as he mentioned this to the hospital, their ability to get things done is probably much stronger than mine!

Cheng Yu bit her lower lip helplessly. Her eyes reddened slightly, and a faint shimmer of moisture appeared in her lake-like eyes. She was a very strong woman, but life always seemed to push her into the most helpless situations.

At this moment, Cheng Yu thought of Wu Nian. She even felt a fleeting urge to follow his path and leave this world. But then she thought of her daughter, Wu Mei. Wu Mei is working so hard for my sake. I can't just leave like this; she would surely be heartbroken!

Wu Mei still hasn't found a partner because of her work... How can I be so weak as to leave like this? Gazing at the brilliant sunshine outside the window, Cheng Yu silently encouraged herself.

But, is there really no other way? Is there no one I can turn to for help?

Just then, KNOCK KNOCK, there were two knocks on the hospital room door. Then, under the slightly surprised gazes of Wu Lian and Cheng Yu, a young man who looked rather inexperienced pushed the door open and walked in.

"Ms. Cheng, sorry to disturb you. Uh, I'm really sorry, I was eavesdropping outside the door for a while, and now I can't resist coming in to do something..."

The one who had boldly walked in was, of course, Lin Feng. After giving Cheng Yu a polite smile, he spoke in a very calm tone.

"And you are?" Cheng Yu, initially somewhat startled, relaxed considerably after seeing Lin Feng's attire and appearance. She could clearly sense that the sincerity in the young man's gaze was genuine, without any pretense.

"Hmph, kid, what do you think you're doing? Who let you barge in like this? Don't you know we're discussing important business?" Wu Lian glared at Lin Feng angrily, threatening fiercely. At such a critical juncture, he certainly didn't want any unexpected trouble.

"Ms. Cheng, please don't be nervous. I'm not a bad person..." Lin Feng completely ignored Wu Lian and continued to smile at Cheng Yu. Then, he slowly walked towards Cheng Yu's bedside and said in a low voice, "As for what I need to do, well, it's this..."

Under the astonished gazes of Cheng Yu and Wu Lian, Lin Feng quite naturally reached out, picked up the two contracts and the six-hundred-thousand-yuan cashier's check from the table in front of Cheng Yu, and with a few rips—SHUA, SHUA, SHUA—he instantly tore them to shreds!

Cheng Yu looked at Lin Feng with some surprise. This young man looks so refined and proper; why would he do such a strange thing? He couldn't have escaped from the psychiatric ward next door, could he?

However, Cheng Yu was merely surprised; deep down, she actually felt a secret sense of satisfaction at Lin Feng's actions.

"Are you, are you, are you insane?!" Wu Lian was nearly infuriated to death by Lin Feng. He never imagined that the 'something' Lin Feng wanted to do was to tear up the contracts and the check. The contracts could be reprinted, but the cashier's check had been issued by the head of the development company. How could that be easily replaced?!

In other words, with Lin Feng tearing up the check, Wu Lian could forget about getting anything done today.

In his fury, Wu Lian even had the urge to physically assault Lin Feng. However, being an old fox, he glanced at his own build, then at Lin Feng's, and instantly suppressed the impulse.

"Kid, you just wait! Don't let me see you again, or you're dead!" Wu Lian furiously snatched up his briefcase, got up, and stormed out. Glaring at Cheng Yu, he barked coldly, "Cheng Yu, I'll give you two more days! Next time, I won't be joking! You'll sign that contract whether you want to or not!"

A smile played on Cheng Yu's lips. She turned her head, not even deigning to look at Wu Lian.

SLAM! Wu Lian slammed the door as he left, provoking curses from the families of several other patients.

After Wu Lian had gone, Cheng Yu finally looked up and carefully observed Lin Feng. This gaze lasted a full ten seconds before she smiled and asked, "Are you Wu Mei's friend?"

Hearing Cheng Yu's casual question, Lin Feng suddenly felt a wave of panic. Good heavens, did Wu Mei's entire family graduate with degrees in criminal investigation? Her mom is so perceptive; she saw right through me in an instant...

It seems my plan to not reveal myself was correct after all... Too bad things didn't go according to plan!

Since he had been exposed, Lin Feng could only admit it frankly to Cheng Yu.

"Yes, Auntie, I am Wu Mei's friend."

Hearing Lin Feng change how he addressed her, Cheng Yu's somewhat dim eyes instantly lit up. Her already wide eyes couldn't help but widen a bit more as she meticulously scanned Lin Feng from top to bottom once again.

Finally, Cheng Yu nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile...

"Wu Mei has good taste..."
