Liu Weijiang smirked as he pinched the chin of the girl in the passenger seat. While her face turned extremely unpleasant, he patted her cheek, flicked the cigarette butt out the car window, and pushed the door open to step out.

As Liu Weijiang opened the car door, the door of a van parked behind his Camaro was also opened, and seven young men stepped out, walking towards him with fawning expressions.

"Do you see that guy? Beat him up. As long as you don't kill him, do whatever you want, but be quick and make sure he doesn't get away."

With that said, Liu Weijiang pulled out a wad of cash from his wallet, casually slapped it onto the face of a young man with a scar on his left eyebrow.

"Weijiang, don't worry about it."

Although Scarface was several years older than Liu Weijiang and was slapped in the face with money by him, his expression was still solely ingratiating. He readily agreed, bent down to pick up the cash from the ground, and led his crew towards Chu Ge.

Scarface and the others approached from behind Chu Ge, believing they hadn't been noticed by him. Little did they know that as soon as they cast a malicious glance at him, Chu Ge had already sensed it.

Hostility can seem vague and unreal, but in reality, it's something intangible yet substantial. It's like when someone is asleep, if a person stares at them for a long time, they instinctively feel the gaze.

Near the bus stop, apart from Chu Ge, there was also a middle-aged man hailing a taxi by the roadside.

The middle-aged man turned his head inadvertently and saw Scarface and his gang pretending to act nonchalant, causing him to frown slightly.

From the way those seven youths carried themselves, he could tell they were up to no good, obviously looking for trouble.

Following Scarface and his gang's gaze, the middle-aged man realized their target was Chu Ge. He pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and walked towards Chu Ge.

"Hey, young man, got a light?"

The middle-aged man pretended to borrow a light, tapping Chu Ge on the shoulder from behind. When Chu Ge turned around, he lowered his voice and said, "Young man, you better leave quickly. Those people behind are looking for trouble with you."

Chu Ge was somewhat surprised by this warning, and he couldn't help but take a few more looks at the middle-aged man.

He was a spirited man with short hair, dressed in a shirt and dress pants. He was well-maintained without a beer belly, and the faint outline of abs could be seen through his shirt. Overall, he was a dapper, rugged handsome older man.

"Thanks, brother, but I'm waiting for someone here. They're just a few hooligans, I can handle it," Chu Ge said with a smile, taking out a lighter to light the man's cigarette.

Seeing that Chu Ge had no intention of leaving, the middle-aged man frowned again but didn't say anything further. He nodded to Chu Ge and distanced himself from him.

In the middle-aged man's view, having warned Chu Ge was already his good deed for the day. Since the young man was so arrogant and complacent, there was nothing more he could do.

The moment the middle-aged man stepped a bit further away, Scarface and his gang approached Chu Ge and surrounded him.

"Bro, can I borrow your lighter too?"

Acting as if he hadn't noticed their hostility, Chu Ge smiled and nodded, bringing the lighter close to Scarface's mouth.

"This idiot, so damn slow to react."

Just as Scarface was thinking this, Chu Ge's lighter emitted a "click," and a flame shot up high. The air was immediately filled with a burnt smell, and a long strand of bangs on Scarface's forehead had been scorched off by a large section.

Scarface never anticipated that Chu Ge would pull such a trick on him. He immediately flew into a rage, swearing, "You motherf—"

Unfortunately, just as he uttered those three words, Chu Ge punched him in the stomach. He doubled over like a prawn, retching with tears and snot streaming unchecked.

Chu Ge's sudden punch left Scarface's gang in shock; they never expected Chu Ge to act so quickly without any warning.

While they were stunned, Chu Ge was not idle. His right hand suddenly lifted, delivering an elbow strike to the chest of the person on his right. The victim felt as though his chest was hit by a sledgehammer, nearly knocked out, and collapsed backward.

However, before he could even fall, Chu Ge jumped up, his right toe tapping on the man's chest as if using his body for leverage. Twisting in mid-air, his right foot spun like a windmill in a swift 270-degree roundhouse kick, the sole of his shoe slamming directly onto another person's face.

The person hit by Chu Ge felt a massive force, his right cheek indented visibly, unable to maintain balance. He fell decisively, toppling over another person beside him.

Three seconds!

As Chu Ge took out a lighter and set Scarface's hair ablaze, in just three seconds, four out of the seven men had already collapsed. Apart from Scarface, who was still dry heaving, the other three had fainted outright.

Whish!

Chu Ge threw another punch, but this time there was no sound of fist meeting flesh. His fist stopped just a few millimeters in front of the nose of another thug still standing.

When Chu Ge withdrew his fist, the thug let out an instinctive "ow" and, as if he'd seen a ghost, staggered back a few steps in horror before finally collapsing to the ground. At the same time his butt hit the floor, two lines of crimson nosebleed streamed from his nostrils.

As Chu Ge turned his gaze to the last two thugs still on their feet, they felt a shiver in their scalps, and their bodies involuntarily trembled. Without saying a word, they spun around and ran.

"Damn... Is he... Is he even human?"

A boy following Chu Ge from a distance opened his eyes wide and murmured to himself. Originally, he thought this was a good opportunity to help Chu Ge and strengthen their relationship. But he didn't expect that before he could even make a move, everything was already over.

The boy swallowed hard, and his astonishment turned into excitement, further solidifying his resolve to ask Chu Ge to be his master. After witnessing this scene, it was not just about acknowledging Chu Ge as a teacher; he'd even be willing to be Chu Ge's underling!

Similarly stunned was the middle-aged man hailing a taxi by the roadside. Even though a cab had already pulled up next to him, he stood there dumbfounded until the driver urged him several times, looking at his watch with hesitation before finally getting into the taxi.

At this moment, the most shocked of all had to be Liu Weijiang, leaning against the door of the Bumblebee car.

He originally wanted to watch a scene where Chu Ge got brutally beaten, but unexpectedly, the brutality came from Chu Ge, who single-handedly took down the gang of thugs Liu Weijiang had hired.

Liu Weijiang knew these men were no pushovers; they were real tough guys who weren't afraid of fights. While they might not have killed anyone, every one of them was no stranger to bloody encounters.

Just as Scarface and the others approached Chu Ge, Liu Weijiang took out a cigarette, ready to enjoy the show with his smoke. But before he could even light it, it was all over.

Liu Weijiang involuntarily dropped his cigarette from his mouth, oblivious as it hit the ground.

Having dealt with Scarface and his crew, Chu Ge's gaze swept the vicinity and immediately locked onto the strangely complex expression of Liu Weijiang, then strode toward him.

Seeing Chu Ge walking straight towards him, Liu Weijiang broke out in a cold sweat. He wanted to get into the car and make a getaway, but felt it would be too cowardly and disgraceful, leaving him both fearful and conflicted.

While Liu Weijiang was hesitating, Chu Ge had already reached his side.

"Did you hire those guys?" Chu Ge wasted no time with pleasantries, getting straight to the point.

"I..."

Just as Liu Weijiang instinctively wanted to deny it, the dismissal bell rang from the Third High School campus.

Upon hearing the dismissal bell, Liu Weijiang's expression changed suddenly. His mind raced, and he arrogantly lifted his head, letting out a snort from his nose, "Yes, I hired them, so what?"

Liu Weijiang knew Shu Lulu, being a senior, never attended the evening self-study session. As soon as the school bell rang, she'd immediately come out of the school.

First, he didn't want to leave a cowardly impression on Shu Lulu. Second, he believed that as long as he revealed his identity, Chu Ge wouldn't dare to touch him. Confident in this, he continued his defiant stance.

However, what he never expected was that as soon as he admitted it, Chu Ge suddenly reached out, grabbed him by the collar, and with a single hand, lifted him like a chick.

"I-I-I... Damn! W-What do you think you're doing? Do you know who I am?"

Seeing Chu Ge effortlessly lifting him, feeling his feet leave the ground, Liu Weijiang's head buzzed, and his face turned pale.

He never thought Chu Ge would act without even a hard word, and he panicked instantly, his eyes wide as he stammered.

"I don't know who you are, and I don't care why you're causing me trouble. I'm just telling you one thing: don't mess with me again, or you'll regret it."

With that, Chu Ge casually let go, and Liu Weijiang fell directly onto the ground, the back of his head hitting the car door of the Bumblebee heavily.

Upon hearing the "thud," the girl inside the car shivered in fright and screamed, "Da-Jiang, are you okay?"
