Chapter 212: Resolution

Gao Peng was no Gao Yanei. He wouldn’t bully his fellow classmates using his identity. But when he was bullied, letting the matter slide with a smile was not his style.

Qian Zhengming was no fool. After seeing Gao Peng’s reckless confidence, it was clear to him that he wasn’t bluffing. But he was, after all, still a hot-blooded young man. The humiliation and rage had already erupted in his heart like a volcano.

His face turned as red as a beet as he viciously glared at Gao Peng.

Just you wait, I’ll admit defeat if I can’t beat you, but if you dare act as though you have such authority, I’ll make sure you regret ever being born.

For this Gao guy to have acted so arrogantly, he must have had a respected background here. Although his family back in Jingnan had some power, it would still take a while for their influence to reach this area. Qian Zhengming began to gradually calm down.

To deal with this guy, he had to use his influence in the local area.

Qian Zhengming picked up the phone, fiddled with it for a while, then said with his face flushed red, “You…”

“What do you mean ‘you’? Hurry up and make your calls.” Gao Peng smiled coldly and added more force with his right foot, forcing Qian Zhengming to cough under the pressure.

Qian Zhengming opened his mouth wide and roared in anger, “You have to unlock the phone for me!” Gao Peng was stunned. It seemed like he had forgotten about the phone’s passcode.

He cleared his throat, and Qian Zhengming received another slap to the face. “You can’t even unlock a phone! What good are you? Use your own phone!”

Feeling thoroughly wronged, Qian Zhengming swore silently as he took out his own phone.

Whipping out his phone, he first called the boss of a company in Yuzhou City that his family worked with. This number had been given to him by his father when he had left home, in case he ran into a prickly situation.

The phone rang three times before it was picked up.

“This is Zhou Xuanhu, what’s the matter?”

“Uncle Zhou, this is Qian Zhengming. My father is Qian Sanmao. I got your number from him before I came to Yuzhou,” said Qian Zhengming pitifully.

There was silence on the other end for a moment, then after some thought, he said, “Oh, it’s little Qian. What took you so long to call Uncle Zhou after getting to Yuzhou? I’m holding a banquet at home tonight; do you want to come over for dinner?”

Qian Zhengming cleared his throat. “If you don’t mind, Uncle Zhou, I’ll make my way over for dinner tonight.”

“Haha, sure. I’ll have my secretary send the address over to you.”

“Uncle Zhou, I’m in a bit of trouble right now. I got into a conflict with this guy called Gao Peng…”

“Gao Peng?”

“Mm, that’s right, Uncle Zhou, do you know him?” Qian Zhengming felt some hesitation in his heart.

“If I remember correctly, your dad said you were studying at Yuzhou University?”

“Mm, that’s right.” Qian Zhengming felt like Uncle Zhou’s tone of voice had suddenly changed. Could it have been that he really knew this Gao person?

“Oh, what was it that you said earlier?”

Qian Zhengming had an uneasy premonition. “I got into a conflict with this guy…”

“No, not that. Before.”

After a moment’s pause, Qian Zhengming said, “If you don’t mind, Uncle Zhou, I’ll make my way over for dinner tonight?”

“Mm, it’s actually not too convenient for tonight’s banquet. We’ll have to arrange another date then.” With that, the call was cut, leaving the busy tone…

On the other end of the phone, Qian Zhengming was left with a look of bewilderment on his face as he stared dumbly at the phone screen.

He looked up to see Gao Peng, who had an amused expression on his face. “Keep calling.”

Qian Zhengming felt his heart racing. He knew a few people in Yuzhou, but they were just delinquents and people of that sort. The only one with any real power was Zhou Xuanhu. Even on a day-to-day basis, when his father spoke to Zhou Xuanhu, his words were respectful.

For the other person to put down the phone just from hearing his name, what kind of person could Gao Peng actually be? In no time at all, Qian Zhengming’s heart was racing. He was too used to using his identity to oppress others instead.

In the past, back in his old city, this method had worked for him every single time. Back home, the base city he had lived in was a medium sized one, and his family had basically had control over the entire city’s movement of goods, as well as some of the trade of familiars there. His family had ties with both official and black market partners. When he had been in high school, he had been an unchallenged tyrant who relied on his family’s authority to do whatever he wanted. Before coming to Yuzhou University, his father had instructed him not to stir up trouble here. Only after arriving at university had he started to control his temper.

At this moment, Qian Zhengming’s phone suddenly rang. The name written on the phone was “Brother Mao.”

Picking up the phone, he heard his father’s deep voice. “Did you cause some trouble at school?”

“I didn’t…” Qian Zhengming began habitually, then swallowed his words halfway. “…cause too much trouble.”

“Did you offend a student called Gao Peng?” n the other end, his father’s voice seemed to become even deeper.

“Yes,” whined Qian Zhengming. I didn’t just offend him, he’s stepping on me right now.

“Right now, immediately, apologize. I’m flying over to Yuzhou immediately.” His father’s voice sounded a little weak. “You’re already nineteen. Be more aware of the consequences of your actions.”

The usually domineering Qian Zhengming fell silent. This was the first time his father had spoken to him in such a manner. In the past, when he had made mistakes, his father would simply give him a good spanking with a stick or a belt. Suddenly, he realized that his father would be turning fifty soon.

Putting down the phone, Qian Zhengming bit his lips and said, “I’m s-sorry.”

Gao Peng smiled. “In the future, will you still casually say stuff like ‘!@#*%’ anymore?”

His father had already instructed him to apologize. For someone with his background, he knew better than anyone else the threat of authority. Qian Zhengming quietly shook his head.

Upon seeing the silent Qian Zhengming behaving like a frightened bird, Gao Peng lost all interest in continuing. To be fair, Gao Peng didn’t have the horrible personality of a sadist. It was just that the expletives Qian Zhengming had used earlier had touched a sore spot in Gao Peng’s heart.

Gao Peng lifted his right leg and turned to leave the bathroom. “All right then. Since you understand your mistakes, this matter is settled.”

It was best to settle matters in one go. From the looks of it, Qian Zhengming wouldn’t continue to cause trouble for him. Such problems had to be settled cleanly in one go. If this were a case where the son got his father involved, it would be a nuisance.

Returning to the classroom, the quiet sounds of discussion suddenly came to a stop as Gao Peng walked in. Almost everyone looked over, staring at Gao Peng with complex expressions. Gao Peng saw two familiar faces in the front row, Jun Moyi and the pony tailed girl from the day before.

Jun Moyi looked as stoic as usual, calmly eyeing him.

The pony tailed girl, on the other hand, seemed to be avoiding his eyes.

Qian Zhengming wasn’t the most influential of the Monster Trainer majors, but he was extremely active and involved in many student activities. Furthermore, he often generously treated people to meals and was clearly someone with quite a background.

Some of the people in the class had silently labeled Gao Peng as “NOT to be offended.”

And for the few that knew who Gao Peng was, they silently offered their prayers to Qian Zhengming instead.

That night, after school, there were a bunch of people sitting in the private room of a restaurant. They were the members of the student committee for the current batch of Monster Trainer majors.
