Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 961: Chapter 960 Strange Situation

The youths nearby all had faces of disdain, and another youth curled his lip and said, ”A good student? At Qinghe Academy, good students are the least valuable. Since you’re here, you should be aware, if you don’t fight others, won’t others still fight you? If you ask me, you’re just too loyal, man. If it were our dormitory, I’d definitely ignore him. This kid might as well have dropped out already!”

”Alright, alright, we all come from different places to be here together—it’s fate, why talk about this now. Su Yang is from our dorm, so he’s my friend, you guys better not talk nonsense anymore!” Zhao Jun shouted.

They exchanged smiles. Although Zhao Jun seemed somewhat silly, him having so many friends at school wasn’t without reason. When it came to loyalty, he really was beyond reproach.

As for Su Yang, the group viewed him with contempt. In their eyes, in such a situation, Su Yang not even coming to help was simply disloyal.

In fact, they didn’t know that to Su Yang, their quarrels were no different from children playing house. Su Yang wasn’t lacking in loyalty; rather, what was the point for him to intervene? To sweep through the school in an instant—that meant nothing to him.

Su Yang had not come to the school to lord over it; he wanted to uncover its secrets. Currently, he wasn’t aware of any secrets elsewhere, but the Array in this dormitory building was his key focus for now.

However, just as the others had said, Zhao Jun was indeed quite good to Su Yang. So naturally, Su Yang wouldn’t just stand by when something happened.

After pondering for a moment on the spot, Su Yang temporarily set aside the matter of the Array and quietly followed the group.

His intuition told him something was definitely off. Lin Dawei was not the type to start conflicts. Moreover, Lin Dawei had always been kind to others at school and, together with his relationship with Zhao Jun, it was even less likely for him to get assaulted.

Yet under such circumstances, Lin Dawei was attacked, and Zhao Jun received news of it immediately. Something about this situation seemed like a diversion.

Zhao Jun and the others ran out of the school dorm area and went directly to the street behind the dorm area.

This street was known as the Back Street. Su Yang had been there a couple of times; it’s a small alley, very secluded, and scarcely populated, hence, it became a place where the academy’s people settled private grudges. Many well-known fights had taken place here.

Having been at the school for nearly a month, Zhao Jun had already fought there twice, which contributed to his current reputation. Thus, he was quite familiar with the Back Street.

Upon their arrival, Zhao Jun spotted Lin Dawei lying on the ground from a distance, his body covered in blood, and his condition unknown.

”Dawei!” Zhao Jun shouted and hurriedly ran over, turning Lin Dawei over to find that he had passed out. With multiple bloody injuries, his wounds were not slight.

”How could this happen?” a youth nearby angrily exclaimed, ”Damn it, which bastard was so ruthless? Dawei doesn’t usually get into conflicts with anyone; how could he be beaten so severely?”

”Dawei was crouching down with his head in his hands, and the other guy kept hitting him; it looks like he was out to kill him. Damn, who the hell is so excessive?”

”What do you mean ’crouching down with his head in his hands’? Look at his legs, the knees of his pants are all dirty—he was clearly kneeling on the ground, getting beaten while holding his head,” a youth swore, ”Damn it, which bastard keeps hitting and insulting others?”

The group continued to curse angrily, while Zhao Jun helped Lin Dawei up, gritting his teeth and said, ”No matter what, we have to avenge this. Let’s take Dawei to the infirmary first, then we’ll figure out what to do next!”

”Alright!” A few people came over and helped Zhao Jun carry Lin Dawei away.

They had just walked out of the back street when, far away, they saw Su Yang coming towards them from the end of the street.

The group was momentarily stunned; none of them had expected Su Yang to show up.

Zhao Jun’s face lit up with happiness as he whispered, ”You bastards, never say Su Yang isn’t loyal again!”

The others looked embarrassed, as they had not expected Su Yang to follow them, either.

”Su Yang, you came,” greeted Zhao Jun.

Su Yang nodded and furrowed his brow as he approached the group.

Although Lin Dawei’s injuries were severe, Su Yang could also sense the smell of drugs on him. Lin Dawei’s unconsciousness wasn’t caused by a beating but by drugs, which made it even more peculiar. If they were going to attack someone physically, why need to drug Lin Dawei to knock him out? There was no need for drugs to handle someone like Lin Dawei.

After pondering for a moment, Su Yang suddenly asked, ”Old Zhao, how did you know that Dawei was beaten?”

”It was Xiao Qi who called me,” Zhao Jun explained. ”Xiao Qi saw it when Dawei was already getting beaten by a few people.”

This Xiao Qi was Zhao Jun’s girlfriend. Su Yang had met her once; apparently, she was a friend of Lin Qian and had a poor impression of Su Yang. The first time they met, Xiao Qi had openly criticized Su Yang for not helping Lin Qian move items with Xie Han, which Zhao Jun had brushed off with a laugh.

It was said that she had even argued with Zhao Jun over Su Yang’s situation twice. Those girls from Lin Qian’s side thought poorly of Su Yang, and Xiao Qi even wanted Zhao Jun to ignore Su Yang and even suggested teaching Su Yang a lesson to vent Lin Qian’s anger, but Zhao Jun never followed through and dared not meet Su Yang with Xiao Qi again.

Su Yang didn’t pay much attention to these minor female conflicts, as his purpose for coming to this school was different from others. He was even less concerned about such disputes.

But Zhao Jun was his friend, and since this incident involved Zhao Jun, he couldn’t just ignore it.

After a brief reflection, Su Yang suddenly asked, ”Where is your girlfriend now?”

”Oh right, I forgot to call her...” Zhao Jun took out his cellphone, only to find several missed calls. He paused, surprised, ”Why did Xiao Qi’s roommate call me so many times? It couldn’t be... something happened to Xiao Qi, could it...”

In a moment of panic, Zhao Jun made the call, and after listening for a while, his expression changed drastically: ”Damn it, something’s wrong!”

”What happened?” The others asked in surprise.

”Xiao Qi was kidnapped by Hei Ma’s people!” Zhao Jun gritted his teeth. ”And Dawei was also beaten by Hei Ma’s gang.”

”Damn, what are we waiting for, let’s get people and save her!” urged someone urgently beside.
