Chapter 1329: A Lesson? From You?
"In front of me, it seems you don't have the privilege to be arrogant."
His gaze was indifferent, and his lips curled slightly. Hao Jian's slightly mocking expression made Xiang Chenpeng's face turn unsightly.
As a famous wealthy heir in the school, whether facing students or leaders, Xiang Chenpeng always looked down on people with arrogance, even the school principal never dared to scold him,
This was all because Xiang Chenpeng's father gave certain benefits to the principal, which granted him some privileges in the school. Many other wealthy heirs were similar to him.
Because of this, the principal of Hua City University earned a lot, but of course, such matters couldn't be said out loud. Only a few people knew, and those who knew naturally received their share of hush money.
Therefore, regardless of how Xiang Chenpeng performed academically or in his thesis, as long as he paid, he would definitely receive a degree after graduation.
This was the reason why Xiang Chenpeng caused trouble in school without studying, and perhaps because of this, many girls in the school wanted to latch onto him.
For those girls, Xiang Chenpeng had no interest. High-minded but incompetent, he didn't care for the school girls, not even top beauty Lin Qingxue interested him at all.
However, his friends, who were also wealthy heirs, all seemed to have a keen interest in Lin Qingxue. After all, many pursued Lin Qingxue, only to be rejected by her.
"Xiang Chenpeng, have you gone too far?"
Zhang Liao's eyes stared closely at Xiang Chenpeng, and cold words came out of his mouth. Although he was shocked that Hao Jian instantly caught Xiang Chenpeng's punch, now wasn't the time to be astonished.
Todays's Xiang Chenpeng indeed went too far. Previously causing trouble on the court was one thing, but now wanting to solve problems with violence off the field?
In this matter, Zhang Liao and the others refused to stand by. After all, Hao Jian had helped them win, and they were grateful, not to mention he was helping despite being a rival in love; such generosity they didn't want to be overshadowed by.
"Get lost!"
Ignoring Zhang Liao's words, Xiang Chenpeng scoffed, instead yelling at Hao Jian: "I told you to let go!"
"Oh?"
Hao Jian tilted his head, suddenly sneering, his gaze treating Xiang Chenpeng as a fool: "Aren't you strong? If you're so strong, why should I let go? If you're brave enough, break free from my grip!"
Upon hearing this, Xiang Chenpeng's forehead turned dark. Only when caught by Hao Jian did he realize the strength of his grip. He'd tried to break free, but what happened?
Hao Jian's hand was like iron, unmoving, while his fist turned red from struggling, a painful sensation spreading.
"You... kid, don't be arrogant!"
In the end, Xiang Chenpeng shouted at Hao Jian, but there was little confidence in his voice. Hao Jian, seeing this, also sneered, suddenly releasing his grip and with a swift leg sweep, kicked Xiang Chenpeng's abdomen, sending him flying.
"Bang!"
His body hit the ground with a thud, and Xiang Chenpeng awkwardly got up, glaring at Hao Jian with a grimace...
"Get lost and don't let me see you again. Next time, it won't be just letting you leave so easily."
Noticing Xiang Chenpeng still looking at him, Hao Jian's gaze deepened slightly, with a cold glint flashing.
"You... just wait!"
Frightened by Hao Jian's expression, Xiang Chenpeng swiftly left with his team, fleeing awkwardly, but as he left, the vengeful look in his eyes made Hao Jian frown slightly. This guy...
Shaking his head, Hao Jian decided not to bother with it, instead turning to Zhang Liao and the others with a slight smile: "Though it wasn't a big deal, thank you all for standing up."
Zhang Liao and the others froze for a moment, then hurriedly waved their hands. Ma Ze also spoke up: "It's us who should thank you. If it weren't for your help, we might have missed this championship, not to mention the ongoing conflict between our School of Mechanical Engineering and the School of Civil Engineering."
"We had conflicts with Xiang Chenpeng before, so today was just an early warning. We will continue to confront him in the future."
Ma Ze's words were light-hearted, but Xiang Chenpeng was a famous wealthy heir in the school, not easy to deal with.
In Hua City University, the wealthy heirs were ranked. The school had many wealthy heirs, but to become widely known required a certain effort.
Xiang Chenpeng achieved his status through money, which shouldn't be underestimated. Even though Ma Ze's family was well-off, making him a wealthy heir himself, dealing with someone like Xiang Chenpeng, who was reckless and similar to a rogue, was truly a headache.
"Heh heh."
Hao Jian smiled and didn't expose their words. Instead, he nodded and said, "Anyway, I have to thank you for helping me..."
"How about this..."
Hao Jian suddenly changed the topic: "I'll treat you all to a meal, to thank you for standing up for me today."
"This... doesn't seem..."
Ma Ze instinctively glanced at Molan, only to see her nodding at him. He was pleased, but suddenly caught a glimpse of the dangerous look on Zhang Liao's face beside him, and instantly showed a bitter smile. He forgot that Zhang Liao was Lin Qingxue's number one suitor. Now being invited to dinner by a rival, wouldn't that be filled with tension?
Therefore, Ma Ze also spoke up, helping Zhang Liao to brush off Hao Jian's suggestion. After all, one was his buddy, and the other was the person he was pursuing. While Ma Ze found it difficult to choose, he still chose to side with Zhang Liao.
"Mr. Hao Jian, even if it's about treating someone, we should be the ones treating you. How could it be your turn to treat us? But since Zhang Liao is injured today, we need to take care of him and can't accept your invitation for now."
Ma Ze directly refused, but Hao Jian wasn't surprised by his rejection. If Zhang Liao and the others had agreed, he would have needed to take a closer look.
After all, this Zhang Liao had an interest in his woman!
"Since you've chosen not to go, let's leave together! Anyway, the match is over."
Lin Qingxue spoke up appropriately, with a slight smile, naturally linking arms with Hao Jian.
Hearing this, Hao Jian smiled and said, "I see, it was my oversight. Anyway, there's nothing going on, so let's go together."
Ma Ze and the others nodded in agreement upon hearing that they just had to walk a bit, finding it harmless.
However, when Zhang Liao saw Lin Qingxue taking the initiative to link arms with Hao Jian, his eyes dimmed significantly. The goddess in his heart had become someone else's woman.
..........................................
Xiang Chenpeng led his team members away in embarrassment. After walking a distance, they finally stopped at a corner of a street.
"Brother Peng, what should we do?"
A team member looked up, his face grim, and asked Xiang Chenpeng. Today, they had tried so hard to trip up the opponent, but in the end, at the moment of imminent victory, they were thwarted by this Cheng Yaojin who appeared out of nowhere.
Upon hearing his team member's words, Xiang Chenpeng's eyes flashed with a chilling gleam, and the corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile: "What should we do? I want to see if that guy can walk out of Hua City University unharmed!"
"This is Hua City University, my turf!"
After he said this, without bothering with the gradually brightening eyes of his team members, he took out his phone, dialed a number, and quickly hung up.
"Brother Peng..."
"Why are you in such a hurry?!"
Xiang Chenpeng snorted coldly, looking at the venue's entrance, his face somewhat unpleasant: "Keep an eye on this place, and don't let those guys escape! I want to give them an unforgettable lesson!"
Hearing this, several team members' eyes brightened. They nodded and then focused their gaze on the venue's entrance, watching intently, waiting for Hao Jian and the others to come out.
Ten minutes passed, and finally, Hao Jian and the others exited the venue's entrance. During this time, they spent some effort to get Zhang Liao out, which delayed them for a few minutes.
As they were talking and laughing, suddenly, three vans surrounded them from three directions. Seeing this situation, Hao Jian, who was originally smiling, instantly turned serious.
Could it be that Xiang Chenpeng was playing this trick on him?!
Hao Jian didn't believe this had nothing to do with Xiang Chenpeng, especially when he saw more than twenty strong men getting out of the vans. He was even more convinced that it was Xiang Chenpeng's doing.
"Haha! Kid, let's see if you dare to be arrogant now!"
Seeing Hao Jian surrounded, Xiang Chenpeng, hiding behind the bushes not far away, came out with his members, looking at Hao Jian with immense pride and laughing out loud.
"Oh?"
Hao Jian slightly squinted his eyes, a chilling light flashed through that small gap as he looked at Xiang Chenpeng, and he spoke with a cold smile: "I thought you'd be sensible enough to leave and not turn back to cause trouble. Now it seems you've made a decision that really angers me!"
