44: Chapter 0044: Midway Ambush 44: Chapter 0044: Midway Ambush It might be because of the agreement between Liu Lingxiu and Zhang Yuehong, or it could be because Ye Qiu cured Liu Lingxiu. Whatever the reason, Zhang Yuehong and Liu Daqing treated Ye Qiu warmly and insisted that Ye Qiu stay for dinner. “Auntie, isn’t it a bit too much trouble?” “No trouble at all. You and Lingshow sit down for a bit, and dinner will be ready soon.” Zhang Yuehong insisted that Ye Qiu stay for dinner, and now she went into the kitchen to prepare it. Ye Qiu was pulled into Liu Lingxiu’s room. At first, Ye Qiu thought she intended to do something, but it turned out that Liu Lingxiu had obtained the reference answers for the latest joint exam from a female classmate earlier that morning. Except for the English answers from the afternoon session, she had everything else. “Ye Qiu, I have the reference answers here. Want to estimate your score this time?” “No need to look. You know my situation.” Ye Qiu said. Liu Lingxiu quickly remembered that Ye Qiu was consistently the last in the class and had submitted his exam so quickly this time. She thought it would likely be similar to the usual monthly exams. However, she still looked at Ye Qiu and said, “Don’t be discouraged. There are still two months until the college entrance exams. During this time, I’ll help you improve your basics as much as possible.” “No need. It would waste your time.” “You, why are you like this? I’m doing this for your good.” Hearing Ye Qiu say that, Liu Lingxiu seemed a bit angry. “Lingshow, do you remember our bet?” “Of course I remember. But, you definitely lost. I estimate around six hundred and twenty points this time.” Liu Lingxiu said. She didn’t expect that Ye Qiu still remembered that bet. But she knew that Ye Qiu was bound to lose! “Are you really so sure? How about we up the stakes? If I win, you become my girlfriend.” “You, there’s no way you could beat me.” Liu Lingxiu didn’t expect that at this point, Ye Qiu would still say such things. She thought Ye Qiu was joking with her. However, in Liu Lingxiu’s heart, even if Ye Qiu lost the bet, she had already considered being Ye Qiu’s girlfriend. She just hadn’t expected Ye Qiu to speak it out loud now. When Zhang Yuehong had finished making dinner and called Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu out to eat, she asked during dinner, “Lingshow, how did you do in the joint exam?” “Mom, based on the answers, I should have scored around six hundred and twenty points.” If that was the case, Zhang Yuehong felt her daughter had done quite well in this joint exam. As for Ye Qiu’s situation, Zhang Yuehong did not ask much, as she already knew a bit about it. After dinner with Liu Lingxiu’s family, it was already eight o’clock in the evening. After checking the time, Ye Qiu said, “Lingshow, I’m heading back.” “Be careful on your way home.” Liu Lingxiu said. Ye Qiu bid farewell to Zhang Yuehong and Liu Daqing before mounting his 28-style bicycle and heading home. While passing through an alley near the third middle school, Ye Qiu stopped his bike, as he saw two familiar figures blocking the way. Ye Qiu did not turn around and leave. In the afternoon, he had been looking for these two people to get the four hundred yuan back but hadn’t seen them. Now, seeing them smirking arrogantly and blocking his way, it was clear they had already prepared for this. “Did you bring the money?” Ye Qiu asked. Li Jun and Zhang Yong ignored Ye Qiu and instead looked at a man in his thirties with dyed yellow hair behind them and said, “Brother Biao, you heard it? This kid dares to extort us!” Ye Qiu looked over and saw the man, known as Brother Biao. Besides his prominently dyed yellow hair, most of his exposed skin was covered in tattoos. Clearly, this was the hooligan Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming had mentioned. Previously, the timid and cowardly Ye Qiu had been constantly extorted by these small-time hooligans. All of his daily ten yuan pocket money had been taken by them. Though ten yuan didn’t seem like much, over a month it amounted to three hundred yuan. If a hundred students from the third middle school were being extorted, it would sum up to thirty thousand yuan a month, and it could very well be more than a hundred students. So, Ye Qiu knew, having been extorted by these hooligans, he was naturally furious whenever he saw them. “Kid, I heard you were in a car accident and rested for over a month. You haven’t paid your protection fee for that month, and now you dare ask my boys for money? Are you tired of living?” Brother Biao arrogantly said to Ye Qiu. Ye Qiu knew right away that Brother Biao was associated with the hooligans who had been extorting him. “What if I don’t pay?” Ye Qiu asked. Brother Biao and Zhang Yong were both stunned. If it had been the old Ye Qiu, he would have already peed his pants in fear, maybe even started crying. But now, Ye Qiu’s demeanor was calm, and he didn’t beg for mercy. “Then I’ll beat the crap out of you!” Brother Biao said. Having been taught a lesson by Ye Qiu in the morning by the school building, Zhang Yong and Li Jun now each held a water pipe, blocking Ye Qiu from the front and back, naturally intending to give Ye Qiu a harsh lesson in the alley. Ye Qiu parked his bicycle and saw Li Jun approaching with the water pipe first. As Li Jun swung the pipe at his head, Ye Qiu kicked him hard in the chest, sending him flying. Feeling the pain in his chest, Li Jun quickly got back up and charged at Ye Qiu again. Meanwhile, Zhang Yong, behind Ye Qiu, swung his pipe at Ye Qiu’s back. But, before the pipe could hit Ye Qiu’s back, it landed in Ye Qiu’s hand. Zhang Yong couldn’t believe it and tried to pull the pipe back, but it was already in Ye Qiu’s grasp. Ye Qiu kicked Zhang Yong to the ground, then saw Li Jun charging at him. Ye Qiu swung the pipe at Li Jun’s hand. He hit Li Jun’s fingers directly, causing him to scream in pain as the pipe fell to the ground. Brother Biao, who had been watching, was puzzled. Wasn’t this young man from the third middle school supposed to be famously useless? How did he suddenly become so capable of fighting? “You two pieces of trash! And you call him trash?” Brother Biao said. Li Jun and Zhang Yong lay on the ground, unable to get up. Brother Biao grabbed a pipe and approached Ye Qiu himself. Brother Biao had been with Brother Cai for many years and had fought many times, so he was much tougher than Zhang Yong and Li Jun. He charged at Ye Qiu with the pipe and swung it at him. Ye Qiu quickly blocked it with his own pipe, and when Brother Biao hesitated, Ye Qiu kicked him in the chest. Brother Biao flew five or six meters backward, and as he tried to get up, he realized his back hurt too much for him to move!
