Reborn veteran, lying flat since high school

A true adult knows how to plan ahead, is wise and resourceful, and wins battles from afar.

Instead of acting rashly and impulsively.

They would never do something as foolish as sacrificing themselves before even fighting the enemy.

Tang Yisheng has an adult mindset and a more mature consideration of how things will develop.

Duan Xueyou will certainly not give up on taking revenge on himself.

After all, he was not only young and impetuous, but also a poor student.

Within the school, people like Duan Xueyou, besides caring about "face," really don't have much to protect.

This is a principle that Tang Yisheng understood many years ago.

It's like the difference between the poor and the rich; the poorer they are, the more stable they are, and the more they tend to follow the rules.

After all, there's really not much else to say.

Duan Xueyou was at the bottom of the grade in the humanities team at the Experimental High School. Apart from the "dignity" he built up through arrogance and domineering behavior, nothing else about him was worth mentioning.

The more you care, the less you can tolerate it.

So regardless of Zhang Lei and Jiang Ruoxi's motives for asking Wang Liqiang to deliver a message to them.

Tang Yisheng would rather believe it exists than believe it doesn't.

Moreover, since Tang Yisheng and Duan Xueyou have fallen out like this, Duan Xueyou's cousin from the sports team is destined to be a hidden danger.

Tang Yisheng felt that he could make arrangements in advance and "invite" them in.

It's just a difference of two years earlier or two years later.

Who knows, the early modifications might even save that guy's life.

After two classes, school ends at noon.

Tang Yisheng and the fat man pushed the cart out of the school gate.

"Wait a moment, I need to make a phone call."

There's not enough time to make a call once I get home.

Even when traveling for work, Yang Jinjuan never misses her beauty sleep time.

Tang Yisheng is Yang Jinjuan's biological son, and he knows how to ask for favors without triggering her morning grumpiness.

"Mom, when are you coming back?"

"What's wrong, son? It's only this early and you're already missing me?"

"Your son is going to go hungry soon."

"Sigh, I've been so busy lately. Last month ended, right? Oh right, I think I forgot to give you the money. Son, hang in there, I'll be back in a couple of days."

"I can't hold on any longer! If I keep going, your son will become as thin as a lightning bolt."

"Lightning is great, it's so bright, isn't it?"

"Are you my real mother?"

"Look at you, I'll call Lao Song and ask him to leave it at my house tonight, okay?"

"Uncle Song drinks like that every day, how could he possibly remember anything?"

"Don't worry, you still have your Uncle Chen."

Uncle Chen was Song Zhiming's deputy, and he mainly served as Song's secretary.

"Mom, please don't forget, or I'll go hungry tomorrow."

"Okay, I know, don't worry, I won't forget."

Tang Yisheng still had doubts, but with the emperor far away, he couldn't keep urging him over the phone, so he had to give up in frustration.

"Are you out of living expenses? Or is it because of what happened with Jacky Duan?"

A clear and melodious female voice suddenly rang out behind me.

Tang Yisheng turned around and didn't see the fat man. Instead, he saw his half-sister, Song Junying, sitting astride her white Giant bicycle, her long, straight left leg resting lightly on the ground, looking over with a slight frown.

"What, do you want to lend me some?"

Tang Yisheng shrugged.

Fatty was one of the few people in the school who knew about his relationship with Song Junying, but Song Junying was so beautiful that she was unnatural. Fatty felt uncomfortable whenever he was within three meters of Song Junying.

He's definitely hiding somewhere else right now.

"Dad...does my dad know about this?"

Song Junying ignored him and continued to ask questions on her own.

"I found out a couple of days ago, otherwise I could still be attending classes at school."

"That's true. You've already sent someone to the hospital. If Dad doesn't step in, you'll probably be in big trouble."

"You're brilliant. Since we've already run into each other, could you lend me some money to tide me over?"

Song Junying pushed off with his right foot, his left foot followed by the momentum, and he stepped onto the pedal and sped away.

Tang Yisheng blinked.

He actually had rather complicated feelings toward Song Junying, his adopted sister.

After all, they both had acted impulsively during that summer vacation...

But adults are the best at weighing the pros and cons.

Tang Yisheng's most pressing and urgent task is to raise at least 2000 yuan for future use.

Tang Yisheng doesn't remember the exact legal sentencing threshold in the 90s, but 2000 yuan would definitely have been enough.

After all, ten years later, the threshold for filing a case is only 2000 yuan.

The purchasing power of the RMB is quite strong right now.

Tang Yisheng pushed his bicycle and turned to walk east.

Song Junying's mother works at the Construction Committee, whose residential compound is located in the northwest old city area, while Tang Yisheng lives to the east in the Mingfu area.

Sure enough, the fat man was lurking not far ahead.

"I was almost scared to death just now, your sister actually glared at people..."

The fat man didn't dare to breathe loudly in front of Song Junying.

Song Junying's aloof and somewhat icy demeanor made the fat man unable to muster any disrespectful thoughts. He even felt awkward and uncomfortable breathing when he got close to him.

He only dared to ramble on a little when Song Junying was away and in front of Tang Yisheng.

This level of criticism is practically the limit of the fat man's audacity.

But this barely-there comment was silenced by Tang Yisheng's fierce expression.

"You bastard, you ran away without even giving me a warning! Do you still want your shaved ice?"

"Eat it, you have to eat it, and add extra cashews!"

"I think you're a cashew."

"If it were someone of my build, I wouldn't need to increase the dosage; just make sure the count is right."

Two familiar brothers were riding their bikes home, teasing each other as they went.

Fatty lives in Zhijinshi Community, which is separated from Yongquan Hutong, where Tang Yisheng used to live, now No. 7 Gongyuanqianggen Street, by only Baotuquan North Road.

For the past two years of high school, the two of them had met by chance on their way to and from school and walked together.

After the May Day holiday, lunch break time will be longer.

Tang Yisheng first ate at the cafeteria, then went home for a quick afternoon nap.

As usual, I walked into the classroom as the preparatory bell rang in the afternoon.

I squeezed into the seat through the gap, my bottom barely touching the stool.

Wang Min, Tang Yisheng's deskmate, took a gray envelope out of the desk drawer and handed it to him.

Perhaps it was because of the difference between men and women, or perhaps Wang Min was deliberately trying to save Tang Yisheng's "face," but she handed the envelope to Tang Yisheng while pretending to be engrossed in her book as if nothing was wrong.

"What is this?"

"Remember to return what I lent you."

Tang Yisheng was stunned.

It seems like I'm not that close to my deskmate Wang Min.

Moreover, he didn't even say a word.

The two truly became close friends after Tang Yisheng started looking for a side hustle during the post-pandemic period when he was bored.

At that time, Wang Min was an ordinary lawyer with few outside the legal profession, while Tang Yisheng had a wide social circle. The two hit it off by chance.

Subsequently, Tang Yisheng, as a legal professional, became a partner of Attorney Wang Min. One brought in business and collected fees, while the other was responsible for court appearances and the actual work. The two worked together seamlessly, and their profits steadily increased...

At present, the two are at most classmates who are not too unfamiliar with each other, and they are the opposite-sex deskmates who are most likely to have a distance between them.

Could it be that his rebirth and return, with his domineering aura emanating from him, has a tremendous destructive power on a young girl like Wang Min?

Tang Yisheng's arrogant conjecture.
