Chapter 58: Chapter 58 This is my number

Outside Qingyun Clubhouse.

Su Yang followed far behind the three men and did not approach them.

All three were strong, but not as strong as the middle-aged man who had accompanied Hu Xiexie earlier. Therefore, Su Yang did not rush to make a move but kept a watchful eye on what they were up to.

Testing the water with the Soul Searching Technique, Su Yang realized that their purpose here was merely to surveil and they had no intention of attacking Hu Xiexie. However, he also learned from the trio’s memories that there were indeed people out to harm Hu Xiexie.

Su Yang did not take action against these three men because they were just lackeys. The real threat to Hu Xiexie had not yet appeared but, since Hu Xiexie had helped him, Su Yang certainly wouldn’t just stand by.

He remembered the issue that Hu Wan wanted to discuss with him, which must have been regarding Hu Xiexie’s situation. At the time, Su Yang had been too lazy to pay attention to these matters, but now it seemed that he and Hu Xiexie were truly fated to cross paths.

Since Hu Xiexie was not in immediate danger, Su Yang decided not to startle the snake and returned to the city.

...

The next day at noon, after lunch, Su Yang was strolling around the campus when suddenly, a voice erupted behind him, "Su Yang!"

Turning his head, he saw a young man with slick hair and covered in brand names, leading a group of people charging towards him with an aggressive air.

Su Yang furrowed his brow; he did not know this person, but by the looks of it, they were here to cause trouble for him.

The newcomer was Li Yuan, who had learned of Su Yang’s incident from the night before and immediately ordered a background check on him.

Upon finding out that Su Yang had a humble family and had only been a soldier for a few years, Li Yuan became even more unscrupulous.

This very morning, he had gathered a bunch of lackeys to seek out Su Yang at the school.

"You motherf*cker, you’re Su Yang!" From a distance, Li Yuan pointed at Su Yang and cursed, "You motherf*cker, you dare to hit my friend? Are you sick of living, or just f*cking insane?"

With a slight frown, Su Yang replied coldly, "Are you here to stand up for your friend?"

"No shit, why else would I come here!" Li Yuan blustered, "You dare to hit my friend and cause a scene at my cousin’s party. Kid, how many lives do you think you have to spare?"

With a cold laugh, Su Yang retorted, "With just a few of you trash, you want my life?"

"F*ck, you’re really arrogant, huh? You think you’re invincible?" Li Yuan shouted, "Kid, I know you’ve been a soldier for three years and have some muscle. But do you really think you’re the only one who’s been in the army?"

"Let me tell you, the guys here with me have just recently been discharged from the military. Moreover, most of them are special forces. Do you know what special forces are? They’re the toughest among all military personnel!"

"Damn it, what makes you think you can go against us? Today, I will show you that class distinctions are not something your muscles can overcome!"

Su Yang scowled and clenched his fists, ready to fight. Just then, Hu Xiexie’s indignant voice came from afar, "Li Yuan, what are you doing?"

Turning to look, Hu Xiexie was hurrying over, her pretty face full of anger.

"Cousin, you’ve arrived just in time," Li Yuan immediately said, "It’s this guy here, he’s the one who messed up your party yesterday and hurt our friends, denying us a good time."

Staring at Li Yuan, Hu Xiexie angrily retorted, "Li Yuan, what are you doing here?"

"I... I’m here to get back at him for you..." said Li Yuan.

"When did I ever ask you to get back at anyone for me!" Hu Xiexie snapped back, "I already told you I hate it when people like you bully others with their power. What are you doing now? Using my name to bully others?"

"Cousin, that wasn’t my intention," Li Yuan replied anxiously, "I’m not bullying with my power. This guy hit our friend, wrecked your party, shouldn’t we avenge that?"

"You want revenge, do you?" Hu Xiexie said angrily, "Fine, then go up and fight him one-on-one!"

"Ah?" Li Yuan was stunned. He was far inferior to Ding Runze. Ding Runze had suffered heavily at Su Yang’s hands; how could he dare to take on Su Yang alone?

Su Yang, however, smiled. This Hu Xiexie was indeed fair in her dealings, showing none of the spoiled behavior typical of a rich heiress.

"If you’re too scared to fight him alone, then scram and stop making a fool of yourself here," Hu Xiexie said angrily.

"I..." Li Yuan opened his mouth wide but was unable to utter a word.

Only then did Hu Xiexie turn to look at Su Yang, pausing slightly before frowning and saying, "It’s you?"

"It’s me," Su Yang nodded with a light smile.

"You know each other?" Li Yuan asked, surprised, his gaze at Su Yang now filled with hostility.

"It’s none of your business!" Hu Xiexie shot back angrily, and Li Yuan immediately shut his mouth.

After sizing up Su Yang, Hu Xiexie spoke in a solemn tone, "I misjudged you yesterday. I never thought you would beat Ding Runze and Zhou Yue. And I thought you were being bullied and stood up for you. You’re not very honest, are you!"

Su Yang couldn’t help but smile. "You didn’t ask me what exactly happened yesterday. Besides, all I did was say ’thank you’ a couple of times. I didn’t lie to you, so how am I dishonest?"

Hu Xiexie recalled what happened and indeed, that was the case; she was at a loss for words.

"However, Miss Hu, I still want to thank you for yesterday," Su Yang said with a faint smile.

Hu Xiexie grandly waved her hand. "I’ve asked about yesterday’s matter. You can’t be blamed for those things; the main issue was Ding Runze and Zhou Yue going too far. So, I won’t hold it against you!"

With a magnanimous expression, Hu Xiexie prompted yet another smile from Su Yang. "Then thank you once again, Miss Hu."

"No need for thanks," Hu Xiexie waved her hand. "I just came to say, Zhou Yue and Ding Runze are not good people. Having hit them, they definitely won’t let it go easily."

"But on this matter, I’m on your side. If you need help, you can give me a call. Here’s my number!"

Hu Xiexie handed a piece of paper to Su Yang. Li Yuan, standing beside them, suddenly became anxious. "Xiexie, how can you just give out your phone number to anyone..."

"What’s wrong with that?" Hu Xiexie glared back.

"How do you know if he’s a good person or a bad one..." Li Yuan paused, then whispered, "Besides, I’ve checked his past. This guy is just a punk. Cousin, why do you bother with such riffraff!"

"It’s my business, not yours to manage!" Hu Xiexie angrily retorted, making a phone-call gesture to Su Yang before turning and leaving.

Li Yuan, furious, glared at Su Yang through gritted teeth. Then, Hu Xiexie’s voice came from behind. "Li Yuan, if you don’t go back, I’ll tell Uncle."

Li Yuan jumped in fright and hurriedly followed Hu Xiexie. "Cousin, I’m coming back. I’ll go with you, just don’t tell Uncle Six..."

Watching Hu Xiexie walk away, Su Yang memorized the phone number in his heart, a trace of a smile crossing his lips.

On the other side of the field, Liao Yuxuan watched everything with stunned disbelief.

After entering the school, the first person Li Yuan sought was Liao Yuxuan, who led him to find Su Yang.

Liao Yuxuan thought he would witness a big fight between Su Yang and Li Yuan; even if Li Yuan’s group was no match for Su Yang, it would cause both sides to become sworn enemies. That would mean Su Yang had made an enemy of the richest family in Nanluo.

But what he didn’t expect was for Hu Xiexie to interfere. Moreover, she was clearly siding with Su Yang, which was something he couldn’t accept.

After all, Hu Xiexie is the undisputed number one beauty in Nanluo City.

Though Nanluo City had many beauties, Hu Xiexie’s title as the number one beauty had remained unchallenged for years.

As the only daughter of the richest man in Nanluo City and the top beauty, Hu Xiexie’s allure goes without saying. She attracted not just the young talents and rich young men of Nanluo City, but also many second-generation rich kids from the province had a soft spot for her.

Unfortunately, Hu Xiexie had always been stubborn, and no man had yet caught her eye.

What did this mean now? Hu Xiexie had actually come forward to save Su Yang, even personally left him her phone number and offered to help him with future matters.

If those second-generation rich kids chasing after Hu Xiexie knew about this, wouldn’t they be furious?

Thinking of Zhou Xue’er and Fang Yun who accompanied Su Yang last night, and Fang Ziyu who was secretly on Su Yang’s side, Liao Yuxuan felt even more irritable and roared internally, "Su Yang, what’s so good about you that attracts so many women!"

Just then, Lin Qingru entered Liao Yuxuan’s field of vision. She didn’t head towards him but chased after Su Yang, who was walking around the field.

"Su Yang!" Lin Qingru called out to him.

Su Yang frowned slightly; he felt no fondness for Lin Qingru.

"What is it?" Su Yang’s voice was icy.

Lin Qingru’s face showed a hint of anger. She considered it a favor coming to Su Yang herself, and his attitude was unexpected. The men who followed her around treated her with utmost respect; none behaved like Su Yang.

Taking a deep breath and suppressing her anger, Lin Qingru said, "Dad asked me to tell you to come for dinner this weekend!"

Su Yang responded bluntly, "Please tell Uncle Lin that I’m busy this weekend and won’t be coming."

"Su Yang, what do you mean by that!" Lin Qingru burst out in anger. "I personally came to invite you, and you refuse to go; what do you take me for?"

Su Yang glanced at Lin Qingru and said coldly, "Lin Qingru, have you forgotten? There’s nothing between us!"

Lin Qingru was dumbfounded. After witnessing Su Yang’s capabilities yesterday, she had thought it over all night and decided to approach him today.

She had thought that by approaching Su Yang, he would feel honored and that they could mend their relationship. After all, in her mind, she had always been the princess on a pedestal, whom everyone should adore.

But now, Su Yang’s attitude left her feeling uncertain. She was starting to realize that Su Yang might genuinely not care about her at all.

From afar, watching all this, Liao Yuxuan clenched his teeth in frustration. "Lin Qingru, I won’t let you end up with Su Yang!"
