Jiao Zuoren did not return until the bus departed. He refused to answer their calls and finally only told them, "Don't wait for me."
Presumably, this guy has already given up his final trip in order to salvage his relationship with Duan Ling.
In the end, only six people—Zhang Lang, Cheng Jun, Xiao Qiang, Chen Lin, Su Jie, and Pan Xiaoyu—continued to travel with the group and took the train back to Yunzhou.
Even after he returned, no one contacted Jiao Zuoren again.
After witnessing such a farce, anyone would feel awkward talking to him...
However, the aftermath of this incident quickly came into the public eye.
It was a trending news story that suddenly went viral across major news media, social media, and short video platforms, and the headline was eye-catching enough:
After dating for two years, the man who lived off his girlfriend spent over a million yuan of her money. Now that they've broken up, he's demanding it back!
Upon clicking, the main content is: A couple in Yunzhou City, the woman comes from a wealthy family and the man comes from an ordinary family. During their relationship, the woman has always covered the man's living and entertainment expenses, and she also gives him red envelopes and gifts during holidays. Over two years, they have accumulated more than one million yuan.
Later, the man changed his mind and the two broke up. The woman was furious and demanded that the man return the money!
The man in this news story is referred to as Jiao Moumou. Although the interview video was blurred, those familiar with him can still recognize him at a glance as Jiao Zuoren.
It seems Duan Ling wasn't just saying that out of anger; she genuinely demanded the money back from the people in Jiaozuo. And the fact that this news quickly became a trending topic on various platforms suggests it was intentional on Duan Ling's part.
The money spent on buying these trending topics probably far exceeds one million. It seems that Duan Ling's real purpose is not money, but to ruin Jiao Zuoren's reputation and cause him to be socially dead!
"Never mess with a woman!"
As Cheng Jun scrolled through his phone and saw Jiao Zuoren's pitiful state, which was featured on the front page of various websites, he couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him.
"You never know what terrible things a heartbroken woman can do!"
"So treat Chen Lin well." It was rare for Zhang Lang to say something normal.
"When have I ever treated her badly?" Cheng Jun pursed his lips.
Just then, the bell rang, and the students in the classroom began packing their bags. Cheng Jun finished packing and said to Zhang Lang:
"By the way, second brother, Chen Lin asked Su Jie to go shopping at the mall tonight. I need to help carry her bags. Do you want to come along?"
"No, thank you." Zhang Lang waved his hand in refusal: "I have three jobs tonight, I have to go to the boxing gym."
"Tsk tsk tsk! Not long ago, he promised Su Jie he'd be available whenever she called, how come he's already backing out?"
"I really have something to do," Zhang Lang explained. "As a poor student, three orders in one night would be a windfall for me, and I can't miss it."
"Alright, alright, I'll go explain to Miss Su for you, but I guess she'll be disappointed!"
As they spoke, the two walked out of the teaching building, with Zhang Lang heading towards the west gate.
"Hey, hey, hey, if you're going to the boxing gym, shouldn't you go through the south gate? It's closer."
Zhang Lang waved his hand: "The road to the west gate is more secluded, I find it too noisy."
"Strange person..." Cheng Jun waved his hand, "Walking down a side path at night, aren't you afraid of encountering ghosts!"
Zhang Lang shook his head and continued walking towards the west gate.
Cheng Jun is right, the road at the west gate of the school is indeed remote. It's much farther and more difficult to walk than the main road at the east gate.
However, ever since returning from Fangzhou Peninsula, Zhang Lang has taken this route every day on his way to the boxing gym.
Although the weather is getting warmer and the days are getting longer, after the last class, the sun is about to set, and the narrow, dark path is chilly and gloomy.
Of course, this little bit of terror was nothing to Zhang Lang. He made his way through and soon arrived at the boxing gym.
Having worked here for over half a year, Zhang Lang's reputation has spread far and wide, making him a top sparring partner at the gym. Many people come specifically to see him. The three clients who booked for tonight are already waiting there early.
Zhang Lang simply had the three of them take turns playing. When the client got tired, they would go off to rest and be replaced, while he himself stayed on the field the whole time. Even so, he still gave all three of them the full playing time.
It's important to know that combat sports are very physically demanding. You usually have to fight and rest intermittently. If you train for an hour, you'll spend more than half of that time resting.
Now Zhang Lang is working non-stop, and the three of them take turns on the field. On average, each person gets about an hour of training time, which is equivalent to two classes in one, making it quite cost-effective.
Of course, the fatigue is also doubled!
Feeling utterly exhausted, the three of them looked at Zhang Lang, who was breathing normally on the boxing ring, and secretly admired him.
No wonder he's a top-tier sparring partner, his stamina is incredible!
After finishing work, Zhang Lang took a shower, packed his things, and left the boxing gym, still taking that quiet little path.
Compared to dusk, the alleyway was even more eerie late at night. The few streetlights along the road were mostly broken. When you walked to a secluded spot, it was truly pitch black, and you could clearly hear your footsteps.
Just as Zhang Lang reached the darkest part, suddenly, a dark figure flashed out from the side, holding a dagger, and stabbed straight at Zhang Lang's back!
In the pitch black, with someone deliberately targeting someone who wasn't expecting it, an ordinary person probably wouldn't even have time to react before being stabbed!
But Zhang Lang seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. Just as the knife was about to hit him, he dodged it, grabbed the attacker's wrist with a "snap," twisted the arm behind his back, tripped him, and pinned him to the ground, subduing him.
"You fucking bastard! Let me go! I'll kill you!"
Even after being subdued, the attacker continued to hurl insults. The voice sounded familiar, and when Zhang Lang turned his head, he saw that it was Jiao Zuoren.
"You want to kill me?" Zhang Lang asked calmly.
"It's all because of you!" Jiao Zuoren roared. "If it weren't for you, why would Xiaoling have broken up with me, and why would she have asked me to pay her back? Now I have nothing left—no money, no friends, and I've become a laughingstock of the world. You bastard, you ruined my life, and I'll make you pay! I'm going to kill you! Kill you!!!"
Thank you for your testimony!
With one hand holding Jiao Zuoren still, Zhang Lang took out his phone with the other, which was recording. Jiao Zuoren's words had just been recorded.
"The scene, the murder weapon, the killer, and the motive—everything is there!"
Zhang Lang opened his phone and dialed the police: "Now, let the law, which you know best, punish you!"
"What?" Jiao Zuoren seemed to only just realize what had happened: "No, I can't go to jail... Please, don't call the police, don't call the police..."
Zhang Lang ignored him and called the police, claiming he had been attacked with a knife. Soon, sirens blared, and the police arrived at the scene. After collecting evidence, they took the two men away.
To make a long story short, the scene was clear, and there was also a recording as corroborating evidence, which basically confirmed that Jiao Zuoren had attempted murder. After Zhang Lang finished giving his statement, he left the police station.
"You've changed!"
Walking down the streets late at night, Xu's voice echoed in Zhang Lang's mind:
"The old you wouldn't have gone through all this trouble, scaring him in the haunted house and tattling to his girlfriend... In the past, if you encountered scum like this, you would have just killed him."
"This is the main world after all. Killing is satisfying, but it will be very troublesome..." Zhang Lang said calmly, "Since we're here, we have to follow the rules here."
"But I didn't expect you to be so patient!" he chuckled. "You've been walking this road every day since you came back, just to give him an opportunity to strike, haven't you?"
"The last look he gave me that day—it was a mixture of madness and murderous intent!"
Zhang Lang snorted coldly: "Rather than let him cause any trouble, I'd rather give him a chance to come at me alone."
"If it weren't for the altar, you might be a very kind person..." Xu sighed.
"But now, you can only continue to be brutal."
"There's a new assignment. Should I take it?"
