CH 48

Huo Bo glanced at the tense onlookers, and curled his lips: “Go outside?”

He Qianjian’s eyes flashed, and before he had time to say no, the blond-haired boy behind him stood up and said, “Let’s go then!”

Others also echoed: “Who is afraid of you, let’s go!” As they spoke they also walked out directly.

He Qianjian gritted his teeth and scolded them for being a bunch of idiots in his heart, but he had no choice but to follow.

The two groups of people hurriedly changed their shoes and went to the small park behind the skating rink. It was quiet and peaceful here, but it couldn’t appease the young men’s anger. The blond-haired boy took the first shot and aimed at Shen Xu.

Shen Xu dodged flexibly, and the others also joined the brawl.

Probably because Shen Xu’s action of throwing the key aroused the other party’s anger. Four of them targeted Shen Xu, while Huo Bo and Jiang Chen had only two people aiming at them. Huo Bo’s hits were always simple and ruthless, basically a kick or a punch from him would render the other incapacitated, and it didn’t take long for the two who ganged up on him to go down.

Shen Xu narrowly avoided a fist and screamed, “Daddy, help!”

Huo Bo gave him an eyeroll, but joined Shen Xu’s battle circle, and also broke Shen Xu’s one-sided state where he could only passively evade.

Jiang Chen withdrew his attention from Shen Xu, and instead of dealing with the two people in front of him directly, he waited secretly.

Sure enough, just as he bent sideways avoiding a punch, he heard a strange conversation again.

“Swap this branch at my feet for a blade.”

“Blade search…..the search failed. No blade was found within 50 meters.”

He Qianjian said sinisterly, “Then replace it with the sharpest thing you can find around here.”

“Searching for sharp objects…..the edged rock at 36 meters is the hardest object within 50 meters. Affirmative on exchanging the edged rock with the branch you touched?”

“Affirmative.”

He Qianjian looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he bent down to pick up the sharp-edged stone on the ground, and walked slowly towards Jiang Chen whose back was facing him.

Jiang Chen had been prepared for a long time. After putting down the people around him, he turned around and sidekicked He Qianjian in the stomach. He Qianjian fell back unexpectedly, and the stone slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.

“What are you doing!”

Seeing Jiang Chen picking up the stone on the ground, He Qianjian hastily moved back.

Jiang Chen rotated his wrist, looked at the stone in his hand, and said calmly, “I’m curious why you have such great hostility towards me.”

He Qianjian suppressed the gloom in his eyes, covered his stomach, and stood up with his back against a tree. He looked at the young man in front of him vigilantly, and accused him: “You guys cheated in the competition, yet you have the nerve to ask me why I am hostile to you.”

“Really?” Jiang Chen raised his eyes and stared at him: “Why do I think it’s not that simple?”

He Qianjian clenched his hand covering his stomach, and replied calmly: “Why do you say that?”

“From the beginning, your target was me.” Jiang Chen weighed the stone in his hand, raised his eyes and smiled, but there was no warmth in his eyes: “Or in other words, from the beginning to the end, your target is only me.”

He Qianjian’s pupils dilated, and he clung to the tree trunk unconsciously, “I don’t understand what you’re talking about, clearly it was your friend who threw the key at my people on purpose, causing him to break his arm and the swiss army knife hanging on the key almost hurt his eyes, also…..” The corner of his mouth twitched, and he immediately raised his leg and kicked at Jiang Chen.

However, the curvature of the corner of his mouth stiffened before he could fully raise it, lying on the ground with a distorted expression of pain.

Ever since he saw He Qianjian, Jiang Chen hadn’t relaxed his vigilance for a second, not to mention that the most important part of his previous training was to guard against sneak attacks, and He Qianjian was almost full of loopholes in his eyes. The moment He Qianjian raised his leg, Jiang Chen had already guessed his intention. So at the same time, he turned on the spot, and kicked at the crook of the other’s raised knee, taling advantage of his momentarily unstable center of gravity.

He Qianjian lay on the ground in humiliation, and tried to get up several times, but the pain in his abdomen and leg, as well as the pampering of the past ten years made him struggle a few times, but it was futile. Looking at the white sneakers in front of him, he fisted his hands.

Jiang Chen squatted in front of him, and said in a low voice, “Sneak attacks and deceit will not always work.”

“Do you know who I ah——”

He Qianjian screamed and twitched, trying to pull out the palm of his right hand that was stepped on by a white sneaker, but it was as futile as when he wanted to get up just now, except to bring him more pain. Jiang Chen moved his foot away, grabbed his collar and pulled him up, kneeing him heavily against his abdomen. After three times in a row, he let go of his collar.

He Qianjian fell to the ground with a thump, holding his stomach with a pale face, trembling so hard that he couldn’t make a sound.

Jiang Chen squatted in front of him, his low voice was full of hostility: “Don’t let me see you playing underhanded tricks and secretly hurting anyone again.”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone yelled: “F**k! Someone called the police! Run!”

Jiang Chen grabbed He Qianjian’s collar, lifted him up, looked him in the eyes and enunciated word by word, “And I mean anyone.”

“Jiangzi!”

Jiang Chen let go of He Qianjian and walked towards Shen Xu and Huo Bo.

…..

“It’s nothing serious.” The family doctor packed up his things and said to Yang Yun: “Except for the slightly more serious injury on the palm of the right hand, other places are just bruises and abrasions, and it will go away after a while.”

“That’s good, thank you, old Xiang.”

“No need.” Dr. Xiang smiled, glanced at He Qianjian who had his head lowered and thinking about who knows what, and joked: “It was always Qian Min who was injured before, but this is the first time for Qian Jian.”

Yang Yun said distressedly: “This child has almost no temper. He is usually gentle and polite with everyone. I don’t know what happened suddenly. Today, he actually got into a fight with someone, and he was injured so badly.”

“What’s the big deal.” He Yanfeng said on the side: “It’s not normal for him not to fight before. Boys grow up fighting.”

Yang Yun glared at him, and He Yanfeng shrugged and got up, “Let’s go, old Xiang, I’ll see you off.”

When He Yanfeng left, Yang Yun sat next to He Qianjian, and said softly, “Da Bao, why did you get in a fight today, can you tell Mom?”

He Qianjian was confirming with the system again and again: [I think Jiang Chen’s words just now had an underlying meaning, are you sure he doesn’t know something.]

System: [Impossible, no one in this world can detect my existence outside the host selected by the system. In this case, it is impossible for anyone to know you swapped identities with him. Even his biological parents did not realize anything over these many years, you have nothing to be afraid of.]

He Qianjian heaved a sigh of relief, and his brain became more nimble in an instant. He lowered his head and with a flicker of his eyes, he described the situation at that time with more exaggerated details, and described himself as a complete victim with a helpless expression.

When he was talking to Yang Yun, He Qianmin just happened to come back, and when he heard him, he pursed his lips and played games with his legs crossed on the side.

Yang Yun felt distressed: “You children, no matter how big the conflict is, you don’t need to fight, and you even fight so fiercely, can’t you just talk it over?”

“It’s not that I don’t want to talk peacefully, it’s that those people made a move first, and I also want to reason with them, but I can’t let myself stand there and be beaten up.”

He Qianmin sneered without raising his eyes: “I remember that you went out and called a bunch of people with you today. But there are only three people on the other side, that they would strike first, it is either because they are too daring or because they have no brains. And the three of them were actually able to beat you up to this extent, you are really quite capable, huh.”

How could He Qianjian fail to hear He Qianmin’s sarcasm, he smiled and said, “It’s because of the large number of us that I didn’t strike first, lest people think that we are bullying the few, and that the three of them could beat us all up is not surprising, we’re all just students, and we rarely get into fights, unlike them who are hooligans and have a lot of dirty moves, of course we couldn’t win.”

He Yanfeng came in, sat next to He Qianmin, and said with a smile: “You have to learn from your little brother on this, when did he ever lose in a fight, and your father, I never lost in a fight back in the day. In my opinion, it’s better for you to learn some boxing skills, it doesn’t matter if our He family loses in a fight, it’s only shameful to be beaten so hard that you can’t even fight back.”

“He Yanfeng!” Yang Yun snorted coldly, “How do you teach the children!”

He Qianmin glanced at He Qianjian and said: “You are the only one here, you can say whatever you want, but I can see the wounds on your body, and they didn’t hit you too badly. If they were really full of dirty moves, they would have aimed below the belt, and I imagine you would be seeing the andrology department in the hospital now.”

Yang Yun’s expression froze, and became completely speechless. She wanted to say something but felt it was inappropriate, so she could only turn her head to look at her husband. But He Yanfeng had already burst out laughing, and while laughing, he patted He Qianmin’s arm, pretending to be angry.

“Don’t pay attention to your little brother and your father.” Yang Yun turned to comfort He Qianjian, and said, “Both father and son are of the same virtue, and their morality is greatly damaged.”

He Qianjian raised his eyes and saw He Yanfeng and He Qianmin whose facial features were so similar it was obvious they were father and son at a glance. Jiang Chen’s face appeared in his mind, and his eyes flashed. Fortunately, other than his eyes that resemble He Yanfeng’s, Jiang Chen’s other features were not too similar.

He Qianmin went upstairs after sitting for a while, and when he entered his room, he found He Qianyu who was sitting on his bed with her lips pursed, thinking of who knows what. He raised her eyebrows and asked, “What are you doing in my room again?”

He Qianyu pouted and lowered her head, without saying a word.

He Qianmin put away his smile, patted He Qianyu on the head, and sat beside her, “What’s the matter? If you don’t say anything, I’ll just play games.”

“You only know how to play games.” After He Qianyu complained, she was silent for a few seconds, before speaking hesitatingly: “Elder Brother lied, I know who Elder Brother fought with today, I saw it.”

He Qianmin sneered: “Isn’t it normal for him to lie? It’s only a little fool like you who believes whatever he says.”

“But…..” He Qianyu puffed up her cheeks, “But I didn’t know he was lying before.”

He Qianmin: “Then you don’t believe him now? Maybe he really had a reason for getting in a fight with someone? Maybe it’s because that person really deserves to be beaten up?”

“That’s not it!” He Qianyu said angrily, “Brother Jiang Chen is not that kind of person!”

He Qianmin’s smile faltered, and after a few seconds, he confirmed, “What brother are you talking about?”

“I don’t want to tell you!”

He Qianmin grabbed her ponytail, lifted it up and said, “Will you say or not!”

He Qianyu pursed her mouth, pulled back her hair, stood up and walked towards the door: “You scoundrel, I don’t want you to be my brother, I want Brother Jiang Chen to be my brother, I will tell Dad that you bullied me, you just wait!”

He Qianmin grabbed He Qianyu by the collar and pulled her back, coaxing her: “Okay, I was wrong, tell me, who is this Brother Jiang Chen you’re talking about, how old is he, and which school does he go to? “

“I don’t want to tell you.”

“I’ll buy you cakes tomorrow, as much as you want.”

He Qianyu curved her lips upwards: “Yan No. 1 High School, Xiao Xiao said he is the first in the joint midterm examination of the second and third years last time, anyway, he is older than you, taller than you, more handsome and gentle than you, and is basically better than you in everything!”
