Chapter 365: 358, Chen Ruixiang was frightened! (6)

Chen Ruixiang’s family was poor; that was an ironclad fact.

He and his mother had always depended on each other, living in poverty—the thing they lacked most was money.

He didn’t dare tell Huo Feng that during every major exam, he found a way to profit from the test.

In Grade 10 Class 8 at Longxiang High School, there was a girl named Chen Ruonan from his village, who was both his middle school and high school classmate.

Chen Ruonan’s family was wealthy, but her academic performance was poor. She had gotten into Longxiang High School by paying for her admission.

During one of the monthly tests in Grade 10, Chen Ruonan, wanting to copy Chen Ruixiang’s paper, offered him 50 yuan per subject.

For a poor student, 50 yuan was a significant temptation. Chen Ruixiang agreed...

During that monthly test, they had ten exams, and Chen Ruonan copied answers for eight of them, so after the exam, Chen Ruixiang received 400 yuan.

This method of making money so easily and quickly gave Chen Ruixiang a taste of sweetness.

Thus, after that monthly test, Chen Ruixiang fell into the practice of trading benefits for assisting underperforming students to cheat.

Chen Ruonan was braver than Chen Ruixiang; every time, after receiving a slip of paper from Chen Ruixiang, she secretly took out her cell phone and sent the answers to other underperforming students in their class.

This developed into a sort of assembly line process.

In subsequent major exams, whenever Chen Ruixiang was in the same classroom as any underperforming student from Chen Ruonan’s friends’ group, Chen Ruixiang would help that student cheat.

In the end, as they all profited, they also gave Chen Ruixiang money.

For a poor child, the lure of money was indeed greater than that of grades.

Thus, Chen Ruixiang became accustomed to this pattern and method with each test and couldn’t extricate himself.

This time was no different...

This time, Chen Ruixiang had received the money first.

With his pockets already filled with benefits, he could not betray that girl, no matter what.

By doing so, not only would he miss out on another opportunity to make money, but it was also likely that everything would come crashing down around him, that the teacher would discover his dark dealings of the past several terms.

At that time, not only would he be disciplined, but he might not even be able to attend school anymore.

This is why Chen Ruixiang would rather offend Huo Feng and stubbornly protect that girl.

Of course, he still didn’t dare tell Huo Feng this reason.

But unfortunately, Huo Feng wasn’t so easy to deceive.

Huo Feng wanted to know something, he would use all means to get it!

So, after seeing Chen Ruixiang maintain his silence, Huo Feng continued to threaten, "Do you know what happens to people who annoy me?"

Chen Ruixiang continued to stay silent and even hung his head low, his lips tightly pressed, not daring to utter a sound.

Huo Feng said, "If you don’t speak today, I’ll come again tomorrow. Today I brought Pu Sangzhi here to give you face; she’s here to help me clean up the mess. If you won’t speak, tomorrow I’ll come alone! Or maybe I’ll bring ten of my brothers! If you still don’t speak the day after tomorrow, I’ll block you at school and bully you every day! Do you know my methods?"

Chen Ruixiang trembled slightly from fright, his hands clenched into fists at his sides, as if holding back something.

Observing every little detail of his reaction, Huo Feng continued as Chen Ruixiang started to tremble, "I know you want to protect someone, but when protecting others, you’d better first assess your own capabilities."

While speaking, Huo Feng jabbed Chen Ruixiang’s chest harshly with a finger, "How significant do you think you are? You want to protect someone? Bah... you’ve spoiled the very word ’protect’! You and whatever her name is are just in cahoots!"

Chen Ruixiang staggered from the poke, stepping back involuntarily, his shame deepening, his fear intensifying.

At this moment, he was enduring Huo Feng’s insults and threats.

He had never been a mentally strong person, so it didn’t take long under Huo Feng’s words for his mental state to start crumbling...

"Don’t think I can’t find out who it is. I’m telling you, there weren’t that many people in the exam room; if you threw that paper in my direction, it was either to my front or back desk. It would be easy for me to find out! But why am I coming after you instead?"

Tilting his head slightly, Huo Feng said arrogantly, "It’s because you’re the one who has a grudge with me, not him. If you keep denying it, I’ll take you down first, then find him! I don’t believe the other person will be as tough as you! You don’t want to sell someone out, then wait for them to sell you! Plus, you’ll have to endure my bullying, Huo Feng!"

Huo Feng’s words were incredibly damaging and threatening!

As he finished speaking, the normally meek Chen Ruixiang couldn’t help but shout, "Ah!"

This sudden shout actually made Huo Feng shrink his head back in fright.

But Huo Feng, who wasn’t doing anything wrong, naturally wasn’t afraid of someone blowing up; he immediately regained his composure, "What’s the matter? Angry, huh? Get angry! That’s right..."

Huo Feng suddenly thought of something even more ruthless and continued to threaten, "This matter of framing me, if it comes from your own mouth, not only will I be lenient, your class teacher will be too. However, if you insist on waiting until I drag the other person out to expose you! Then, what you lose won’t be just your face, but your class teacher’s face too! Your class teacher has been protecting you, and to find out you have character issues, how do you think you’ll be treated?"

When Huo Feng asked this question, Chen Ruixiang had completely lost his composure.

At that moment, Chen Ruixiang not only dared not speak, but also continued to hang his head low and even gasped for breath, his fists clenched tightly at his sides, his knuckles turning white!

Seeing Chen Ruixiang’s exaggerated reaction, Huo Feng felt a bit intimidated and was also afraid of pushing an honest man too far.

It is known that most of the evil in this world shows on the surface.

But when honest people turn fierce, they can be more ferocious than the wicked!

Therefore, seeing the effect, Huo Feng decided to stop there and patted Chen Ruixiang on the shoulder, "I’ve said what I needed to say, and I have also told you what I’m going to do next. Weigh it yourself, see what you should do! I will leave my phone number at your house. If you decide to reveal the truth, call me tonight, and I won’t come to your house to cause trouble tomorrow. Otherwise, after 9 o’clock tonight, I will start investigating another person, and tomorrow, I will continue to cause trouble at your house!"

After issuing that final warning, Huo Feng patted Chen Ruixiang’s shoulder again.

After patting, he turned around and walked back into Chen Ruixiang’s home.

At that time, Chen Ruixiang seemed frozen, unable to even step towards his home.

He just stood there with his head lowered, his face flushed red...

He bit his lip tightly, clenched his fists tightly, and restrained himself from an impending mental breakdown.

At that moment, Chen Ruixiang was really intimidated by Huo Feng, and indeed frightened by Huo Feng’s threats.

Facing the threats given by Huo Feng, Chen Ruixiang was helpless.

Meanwhile, after Huo Feng returned to Chen Ruixiang’s house, he saw Pu Sangzhi helping Chen Ruixiang’s mother clean up the mess.

He sighed lightly and stepped into Chen Ruixiang’s home.

When Wu Aidi, Chen Ruixiang’s mother, saw Huo Feng, her face changed immediately and she quickly asked, "Where is our Ruixiang?"

Huo Feng pointed outside, "Not a single hair missing, he’s reflecting on himself!"

Wu Aidi glared at Huo Feng with an unwelcoming look and also snatched the knitting bag from Pu Sangzhi’s hands, then directly issued an eviction order to both of them, "Alright, you can leave now!"

Seeing Wu Aidi’s obvious disdain for them, Pu Sangzhi didn’t bother to be overly polite anymore and got up to move towards Huo Feng.

Before leaving, Pu Sangzhi still courteously said goodbye to Wu Aidi, "Auntie, we’re leaving."

Normally very polite to others, Huo Feng did not say farewell this time but instead directly took Pu Sangzhi’s hand and walked towards the door.

Suddenly, Wu Aidi asked Huo Feng, "What about the money he owes you?"

Huo Feng raised his hand in response, "He will contact me himself; it depends on what he decides."

"By the way..."

Suddenly, Huo Feng turned back, walked to a side coffee table, picked up a pen and paper, and as he wrote, he said, "By the way, I’m leaving a phone number here. Make sure your son contacts me tonight!"

Wu Aidi still stared at them with a look of displeasure...

Huo Feng knew that he could not win this elder’s favor, so he simply did not try.

He left Chen Ruixiang’s house with Pu Sangzhi, walking boldly.

...

As the two sat on the tricycle heading home, Pu Sangzhi’s mood was not very good, her face consistently stern.

Noticing her bad mood, Huo Feng jokingly said to her, "I guess, Chen Ruixiang couldn’t stand the pressure I put on him; he will likely confess tonight!"

Pu Sangzhi responded in a dull tone, "Hm."

Seeing her lousy attitude, Huo Feng tried to find a topic, "That kid is actually quite weak; I don’t know for what reason he needs to protect someone else. What do you guess is the reason?"

Pu Sangzhi pursed her lips and shook her head.

Huo Feng then asked, "You’re in a bad mood?"

Pu Sangzhi nodded, "Hm."

Huo Feng asked, "Why?"

Pu Sangzhi said, "Today... the way you bullied his mother. It reminded me of the past, how my mother and I were harried by debt collectors."

That memory had always been a lingering shadow in Pu Sangzhi’s heart.

Thus, her mood was not very good.
