"Fine, you got off easy today, kid!" Gao Sanjiang threw down the words and walked into the store.
Unfortunately, Zhang Lei had no intention of letting him go. Although self-examination didn't consume much of Zhang Lei's internal energy at the moment, he couldn't just activate it for nothing, could he?
Just as Zhang Lei was about to teach him a lesson he would never forget, Tian Xiao spoke up, "Forget it, Zhang Lei, if we go and cause trouble, we'll have to write quite a few reports to deal with it!"
...
"The Taming of Women" is a great war novel with strict logic, a protagonist who doesn't mince words, and a personality truly suited to war.
The Sith Wars, a Sith warrior novel, is a good addition to any collection.
"Crazy Iron Shirt" by a person with nothing to do is a great book, very enjoyable to read!
Episode 3: The Bloody Path to Growth, Chapter 30: Privilege
"Sister Minmin, why won't you let me deal with that kid? Didn't you always like to have blood on your birthday? You said it was like being adorned with red ribbons!" Gao Sanjiang was like a lapdog next to the woman in black, showing no signs of leadership. However, his underlings were used to it.
"Don't worry about it, just avoid him from now on." Minmin gently closed her eyes. The almost terrifying tremor she had just experienced still lingered in her heart. It was a sign that a powerful superpower had been activated. She couldn't be wrong; this feeling was definitely not wrong. This Zhang Lei's superpower was probably even more powerful than the person who had woken her up from nightmares countless times.
"Sister Minmin, why? You have to give me a reason!" Sanjiang was somewhat unwilling. Was he really going to let Zhang Lei off so easily? In this world, face is more important than anything else.
Yesterday, he called out to Zhang Lei in front of a group of people. Zhang Lei must have heard him, but he only paused for a moment before running away, which made him extremely embarrassed. If we add today, then Zhang Lei has humiliated him twice in a row. It's truly unbearable.
"Shut up! I'm telling you, so listen to me, do you hear me?!" Minmin's voice suddenly rose eight octaves, and the glass on the restaurant door seemed to rattle violently.
Gao Sanjiang noticed that Minmin's eyes turned blood red in that instant. Coupled with the imposing presence Minmin had built up over time, he could only obediently agree, though he was obviously plotting something else.
...
Although Zhang Lei didn't get his revenge, he immediately forgot about it and was flitting around Tian Xiao like a butterfly. "Sister Tian Xiao, is it true? Brother Liu Yun said I've made up my mind?"
"You're so annoying! This is the eighth time already! Please, stop asking!" Tianxiao pressed his forehead in exasperation. If he hadn't remembered how many times he had excitedly mentioned it, Tianxiao probably would have already lost his temper.
"You're more like an old woman than an old woman!" Tianxiao declared Zhang Lei. "And can you stop beating around the bush like that? You're making my eyes blurry!"
"Hehe, well, I just started that, I can't just let it go to waste, so I might as well work out my muscles a bit! Just moving around randomly is too conspicuous, so just let me use you as a pillar to walk around!" Zhang Lei was still a little heartbroken about wasting his self-examination twice in one day, especially the last one, which was completely useless, so he had no choice but to make up for it now. He believed that if he accidentally bumped into Tian Xiao a little bit, she would understand.
However, Zhang Lei's running posture is really a bit strange, but there's nothing he can do about it. In order to train some less common muscles, Zhang Lei has no choice but to do it this way.
Tianxiao broke up with Zhang Lei after only a short time. Even if she was a bit naive, she wouldn't have gone back to spend the night with Zhang Lei.
...
"Leilei, you're finally back! Grandma had an accident, and I couldn't find you anywhere!" As soon as Zhang Lei approached the alley, before he even went inside, the nanny came out to greet him. The "grandma" she was referring to was, of course, Zhang Lei's maternal grandmother.
"What? What happened? What's wrong with Grandma?" In his panic, Zhang Lei even used the Northeastern way of addressing her, no longer bothering to use the Shanghainese term "grandma."
"After you left, that person came back not long after. Grandma just came back from playing mahjong, and he blocked the door and cursed at her. Later, he even pulled and shoved your maternal grandmother, saying some really nasty things. I can't even imitate them. After he left, your maternal grandmother got angrier and angrier and had a heart attack. She was just taken to the hospital. I've notified all your aunts, but you don't have a cell phone and you haven't come back..." The aunt jogged after Zhang Lei, describing the scene in disorganized language.
"Oh, I see. Go do your other things. Do you know which hospital it is?" Zhang Lei threw his backpack on the bed, plopped down on the edge, and his face was expressionless.
"I think it's Hongkou Hospital. Your aunt said she's coming back to get her clothes, so why don't you wait for her and go together?"
"I'll take care of it myself!" Zhang Lei's face gradually darkened in the dim light. "Don't say anything more!"
The aunt suddenly felt that the child seemed a little scary, so she quickly turned around and left.
Zhang Lei stood there for a while, then took out the phone number Tian Xiao had left him from his bag and walked outside.
"Hey? Zhang Lei, where are you going!" Zhang Lei ran into Auntie San, who had rushed back to get her things, just as he reached the entrance of the alley.
"Oh, I want to go to the hospital to see my grandma. It's all my fault. If I hadn't mentioned that family's child, he wouldn't have come to cause trouble. If I hadn't argued with him, he wouldn't have bothered my grandma!" Zhang Lei's face was terribly gloomy.
He held Tianxiao's phone number in his hand, not to visit his grandmother, but because he felt it was better to say it this way. Even if it was his aunt, he had lied to her. Isn't it said that people lie to their own relatives first?
"Sigh, you were a bit impulsive, but it's not really your fault. Xiao Wu's family really went too far. Your uncle said that this time we're going to sue them in court. But your second aunt might say something a little harsh later, so don't take it to heart. Your aunts just have a sharp tongue, but they're all really good to you!" The third aunt led Zhang Lei back to his room to pack his things, saying this to him.
“I know what I’m doing. The aunties have been very good to me. Other families have been fighting tooth and nail to get their children registered, but these aunties didn’t say a word and even went to the trouble of getting things done for my mom!” Zhang Lei chimed in from the side.
"That family? Their name is Xiao Wuzi? It's the one over there, right?" Zhang Lei casually pointed to the back door.
"Hmm." Auntie San casually agreed, then immediately realized what she meant. "Leilei, don't do anything foolish! It's not worth it. That family is a bunch of thugs. They're not worth you going to them!"
"Third Aunt, don't worry, I won't do anything stupid like that that will get me killed!" Zhang Lei stared at the back door, his eyes seemingly able to see through the wall and into that bastard. He bit his chapped lips and pulled hard, his eye twitching slightly, and a little blood slowly seeped from his lips.
His tongue traced a circle on his lips, and the slightly fishy taste of blood entered his mouth, making Zhang Lei seem even more craving for blood.
"Leilei, maybe you shouldn't go to the hospital today. Go when you have time off. There are a lot of people there. When Grandma went, there were no rooms available, and she was in the corridor. You won't have room to stand if you go. Oh, stay home and don't cause any trouble!" Auntie San had things to do at home and needed to rush back to the hospital. Although she felt that Zhang Lei was acting a little strangely, she didn't have much time to persuade him.
However, it's normal for things to be a little abnormal at this point; it would be too cold-hearted if nothing were abnormal.
Zhang Lei called Tian Xiao to clarify some things. He had heard Tian Xiao mention some privileges of members of the Guoyi Bureau before, but at that time Zhang Lei was unaware of the trouble at home and did not pay much attention or inquire further.
"Actually, I only know the general idea. Generally speaking, as long as we don't intentionally hurt anyone or cause too much social impact, there won't be any problems. Even if problems do arise, the bureau will help us set up a smokescreen to deal with the outside world. At most, we'll just get an internal disciplinary action!"
Tianxiao was undoubtedly not a good student; she often daydreamed during class, so it was already quite good that she could remember these things.
"I have another question for you. You mentioned that newly joined members need training, right? Is it going to Beijing?" This needs to be clarified. If new members need to go for training, then we need to schedule things carefully to avoid running out of time.
"Oh, you don't need to worry about that. Not many members join each year. Most of the time, it's the instructors who come to you. You can attend school and receive training at the same time. The bureau also hopes that its members can have a normal status and a normal life..."
Then Zhang Lei asked a few more trivial questions. Even if joining the Bureau of Foreign Affairs would help him solve these follow-up problems, it wouldn't be as good as no one knowing that he had done a good job.
...
This area is all private housing, and the taps are mostly placed outside because placing them inside would make the house very damp.
This gave Zhang Lei a little advantage. Zhang Lei couldn't get his hands on potassium cyanide or anything like that, and besides, getting those things was quite troublesome and made it easier for people to trace their origins.
