Chapter 48 - Tang Meiling's Confession

In the past, Wang Han looked like a good kid on the outside; but in the dark, she had spent a lot of money to bribe people’s hearts and would bully girls that she disliked. She would lock them in the toilets, throw rubbish on them, and splash cold water on them; causing all the girls to suffer silently. However, she never expected that one day she would get her just desserts.

The girls willing to accompany her in the past had long hated Wang Han’s arrogant ways. Now that she was the star in all rumors, they taught her a harsh lesson in the name of escaping suspicion.

For a whole month, Song Ye could see Wang Han coming to class with her entire self disheveled and then crying home. In the end, there was a transfer of school notice on the notice board, which allowed Wang Han’s shadow to disappear completely from the school. Xu Zihang and the rest, who heard of the news, said secretly that they could offend anyone but Song Ye… as her move of killing people without using her own hands was too cruel.

In this half a month, the Night Gang had eliminated the other gangs and took over the entire Cloud City without much effort. Song Ye also went down personally to the underground market to collect intel and came to a new agreement with the underground sewers, stabilizing the underground power of Cloud City.

When the youngsters following her witnessed all of these, they were very impressed with Song Ye’s decisive methods. They truly understood that Song Ye was not just dreaming when she said that she wanted to make the Night Gang big.

At this time—when facing the upcoming examinations, they were all very nervous and transferred all their efforts from the gang to the books. Other than their daily training, they spend all their energy on Song Ye’s tuition.

When they found out that Wang Han had transferred out of school that day, a few youngsters used celebration as an excuse to suggest they go out and eat. Xu Zihang had seen that they had eye bags from studying so much and felt pitiful towards them so he went to ask Song Ye to let them off this time.

“Okay then. After we eat, then they will have the energy to practice with guns at night.” Song Ye closed the exercise book and nodded her head in agreement.

“We can practice with guns already?” Once he heard this, Xu Zihang did not even care about eating out. When he saw Song Ye’s confirmatory gaze, he was so excited until his fingers were itchy and could not wait to end school and return to the base. “I’ll tell them right away.” He guaranteed that the bunch of worms would immediately be revived with blood rushing all over their body.

Perhaps Song Ye had not gone out in a while and was kind of tired from giving them tuition all day long to teach them the important points so she wanted to go out to relax. She followed Xu Zihang out of school, but suddenly, her phone started vibrating. She saw the caller ID and turned around to tell Xu Zihang, “You go ahead first. I’ll take a call.”

“Mm, I’ll wait for you at the school entrance.” Xu Zihang nodded and continued to walk outside.

Song Ye found an isolated corner and took the call. Zhao Zhen’s stammering voice sounded. “Song Ye, are you eating?”

“Not yet. Uncle Zhao, what’s the matter?” Song Ye asked directly.

Zhao Zhen, on the other end of the phone, coughed dryly and said with difficulty. “About the activity we talked to CEO Wang about the last time, it’s happening in a few days. I know that you’re having your examination soon and you’re busy studying… why don’t… I go myself this time?” After hesitating for a really long time, he called her with much difficulty; at the last minute, Zhao Zhen still could not say it in the end.

Lately, Song Ye had not been to Yu Fu Jewelry much, and Zhao Zhen thought that she was preparing for the examinations so he did not dare disturb her. Even though this event was very important, he did not feel very comfortable about an adult disturbing a child’s studies.

When Song Ye heard it, she was taken aback and rubbed her eyebrows. She felt that she was too busy lately and forgot about the important matter of making money. “Uncle Zhao, don’t worry. We invested quite a big sum of money this time so we must get our money back. I’ll go with you in two days.” She thought for a while before she continued, “I’ll bring another person along with me, too.”

“Mm, that’s great. I’ll go prepare for it first.” Zhao Zhen clearly heaved a sigh of relief before hanging up.

Song Ye held the phone in her heart and calculated how much money she had to get back to make up for the five million dollars invested; the money that she earned back had to go into the outlet store and the Night Gang. It seemed like she still had to find another way to earn more money. While she was thinking, she turned her direction towards the outside of school.

From afar, she saw a dozen over youngsters waiting there, and the most prominent one was Xu Zihang who was a peacock that could glow. He was tall, had a good build, and was very handsome. Even when wearing his uniform, one could sense his cool aura. At this time, he was leaning against the school door and the person standing in front of him was… Tang Meiling?

Song Ye was stunned as the familiar face that she had not seen for some time made her curious. When she saw the pink letter the other party was holding in her hand, Song Ye then realized and could guarantee that it was another romance story that Xu Zihang started.

Tang Meiling did not notice Song Ye inching closer as she held the letter in her hand, and her face was filled with uneasiness. “Young Master Xu, I… I like you. I’ve liked you since grade 1. This… please keep this letter.”

She stuttered and muttered as she plucked the courage to finish her sentence and pass the letter over. Tang Meiling was so nervous until her face was as red as a tomato.

After looking at it for some time, Xu Zihang suddenly thought of something and smiled slightly. “It’s you?”

“Young… Young Master Xu, you know me? Mm, I’m Tang Meiling, the class monitor of class five. Next week, I’ll be transferred to class one; and I hope that I can get to spend more time with Young Master Xu in the future.” When she heard that the other party recognized her, Tang Meiling was embarrassed and casually pulled her hair back to show off the angle of her face that she thought was the best. She was just waiting for Xu Zihang to nod, and then both of them could successfully be together.

The previous Wang Han, who proclaimed that she was the belle of the school, did not know her limits when she had a crush on Xu Zihang. In the end—when she left, Xu Zihang did not even take another look at her. Now that Xu Zihang said that he knew her, as compared to her, Tang Meiling was overflowing with confidence and could not wait for Wang Han to personally see how she had conquered the school prince.

When she was thinking of her perfect scenario, Xu Zihang suddenly laughed. “Haha, did you come to class one for me?” His tone was a bit playful, and after he finished talking, he happened to see Song Ye—who was walking over—and suddenly had an idea in his head.

“Young Master Xu, I came to class one in hopes of going to the same high school as you, same university…” Tang Meiling continued as her face turned even redder. After all, writing a love letter to confess was already a very bold move, and boys might not even be able to confess right out there like her in public.

“Oh?” Xu Zihang did not expect Tang Meiling to be so daring, and the smile on his face became even harsher. He sighed. “But comparing you two, I like her more.”

Her? Tang Meiling was stunned and turned her head to the direction that Xu Zihang was pointing at. When she saw the familiar face, she inhaled a cold air deeply; and her entire face was as black as coal. “Song Ye.”

“Mm, compared to Song Ye, you aren’t pretty enough; and your figure is average. Your results can’t even compare to hers. Also, in my eyes, she’s better than you by more than a thousand or a million times.” Xu Zihang bent down and put his face right in front of Tang Meiling’s as he said each word carefully and slowly enough to prick her heart.
