Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Meanwhile, Chen Hongyin and his group watched helplessly as Gu Feng and that gossipy woman got into the car and disappeared from sight in a flash.

Several people then emerged from the supermarket.

"Damn it, he got away." Yuan Zhong spat in the direction the car disappeared.

"Don't worry. He can run away, but he can't hide. I've checked the medical school's schedule; they have classes this afternoon, so that guy surnamed Gu will definitely be back soon," Chen Hongyin said grimly.

"Who is that bitch? Damn it, she's just like that Gu guy!" Yuan Zhong cursed angrily.

"Is there any need to guess? Didn't Brother Yin say he has an older sister? That gossip, it's probably his sister." The boy called Blackhead chimed in.

"Brother Yin, what do you think?" asked Chen Hongyin, nicknamed Xiao Ba.

"That kid doesn't have many relatives. I clearly heard him call that gossipy 'big sister' just now, so I guess that woman is his sister." As Chen Hongyin spoke, his gloomy eyes darted around, and a sinister idea popped into his head.

"Brother Yin, what should we do now? Should we just wait for him here?" Yuan Zhong asked.

"Just leave one person here to keep watch, the rest of us will go eat first," Chen Hongyin said.

"Where should we eat? Still saffron flavor?" Xiao Ba asked subconsciously.

Chen Hongyin's gaze suddenly turned cold, and he glared at him fiercely: "If anyone dares to mention the words 'saffron flavor' to me again, I'll tear their mouth apart."

Xiao Ba's face stiffened, and he awkwardly dared not utter another word.

Blackhead slapped Xiao Ba on the back of the head and muttered to Chen Hongyin's back, "You stupid idiot, you know perfectly well that Fan Chenwei is the place where Brother Yin was humiliated and disgraced, yet you still bring up that sore spot."

"I...I completely forgot..." Xiao Ba muttered aggrievedly.

Since they weren't going to Fan Chenwei, the group found another restaurant at the street corner. The group of down-on-their-luck friends naturally ate and drank to their hearts' content. Needless to say, Chen Hongyin was the one who paid the bill; otherwise, how could he possibly keep such a large following?

As the group was eating and drinking, Erhu, who was on lookout duty, rushed in: "Brother Yin, Brother Yin, that kid is back."

"Where is he?" Chen Hongyin stood up abruptly, his hand instinctively reaching for the gun in his pocket.

"The person has already entered the school."

"What? You let him in again?" Chen Hongyin was so anxious that he almost overturned the table on the spot.

"Yes... he came over in that old car. It was going so fast, it just rushed up to me, I didn't even have time to react. But..." Erhu explained, sounding aggrieved.

"But what? Speak up!"

"But that woman is still at the school gate, it seems she's waiting for the guy surnamed Gu to go in and get something," Erhu added.

"real?"

"It's absolutely true, that car is still parked at the gate."

"Great!" A sinister glint flashed across Chen Hongyin's face, his excitement tinged with malice. He lowered his voice and said to his buddies, "Brothers, I have an idea. We either don't play this game, or we'll give that Gu guy a really tough one..."

Everyone gasped in shock after hearing Chen Hongyin's plan.

Brother Yin is indeed cunning, but that's exactly why they like him.

After receiving the two prescriptions from Gu Feng, Zheng Fengjiao didn't even glance at him again before stepping on the gas and driving away.

Little did she know that a dilapidated little bread truck had been silently following behind her.

When passing by a traditional Chinese medicine shop, Zheng Fengjiao stopped the car, took two prescriptions, and went in to get the medicine.

As she came out with her medicine bag and opened the car door to get in, a man wearing a stocking over his head suddenly jumped up from behind and shoved her inside.

The man squeezed into the car, and at the same time, the other door was yanked open, and another man wearing a stocking over his head crawled in, grabbed her hair, and stepped on her back, pressing her down onto the footrest under the seat.

The man in the driver's seat started the engine almost simultaneously, and the car suddenly shot forward.

The whole thing happened so suddenly; the two men appeared quickly and disappeared even faster, the entire hijacking process taking less than thirty seconds.

Several pedestrians on the road only heard a screeching sound of tires violently screeching against the ground. When they looked up, they saw a car speeding away, and they had no idea what had happened.

However, Zheng Fengjiao's luck wasn't so bad as to be completely outrageous.

The owner of the small shop across from the Chinese medicine store happened to witness the whole process and reacted very quickly, recording the entire kidnapping on his mobile phone.

Then, quite "chivalrously," he dialed the police hotline.

Actually, people have somewhat misunderstood the convenience store owner's sense of justice.

The reason he was able to record the entire incident in time was not because he was particularly quick-witted, but because he had nothing to do all day while running that small shop. He didn't have any other hobbies, except that he liked to secretly photograph beautiful women passing by—especially those who were scantily clad and dressed provocatively.

The camera and video recording functions on his phone are almost always on standby, 24/7.

The reason he reported the crime so promptly was simply because a notice had recently been posted on the community bulletin board: "Combate crime, reward those who report crimes."

Opportunities are always reserved for those who are both shrewd and hardworking.

The extremely sleazy shop owner probably never imagined that, without realizing it, he would become a good citizen who had done something righteous.

When Gu Feng returned to school, there was still a full hour before class.

He was carrying two boxes of gold totaling 150 taels, and he was just wandering around the campus aimlessly, looking like he was begging for food on the street with a golden bowl in his hands.

I was called away by Zheng Fengjiao as soon as school was over, and I haven't even had time to eat yet.

He was not used to carrying cash and had no money on him. The gold card that Su Man'er had given him was also under his pillow at home.

What's the use of carrying these two heavy boxes of gold?

My stomach was still growling loudly with hunger.

He originally wanted to go find Peng Liangpei, but being a kept man wasn't in his nature. After thinking it over, he had no choice but to go find a "hard man" – his senior brothers.

"Senior brother, does anyone have anything to eat? Hurry up and find me something, I'm starving!" Gu Feng called out as soon as he entered the room.

Several senior students who hadn't taken a nap and were chatting and joking together looked at each other in bewilderment upon hearing this.

It's almost the end of the month, who still has any food left? The eyes of several people finally focused on one person.

If there's anyone in this dorm who could still find food in this state, it would only be Comrade Erxi.

"Why are you looking at me? I... I have nothing to eat." Erxi's expression and tone clearly told everyone that he was not telling the truth.

Under the judgmental gazes of everyone, Erxi finally couldn't take it anymore.

The group of people in this dormitory are extremely ruthless, and they always adhere to the basic principle of "confessing and being severely punished, resisting and being maimed."

So he timidly and helplessly struggled to open his mouth: "I... I only have... just one pack, the only pack of instant noodles left."

"Huh?!" A low, guttural sound, almost beastly, escaped their throats in unison. The meaning was crystal clear: since there was still one packet left, why wait any longer?

Erxi's expression was one of extreme pain. Asking him to bring instant noodles to Gu Feng was like asking him to bring out his own wife to entertain someone else.

He slowly pulled out the cabinet key, unlocking it with a motion so slow it was almost like slow motion. Then, he quickly used his fat body to block everyone's view, only opening the cabinet door a crack, reaching in to pull out a packet of instant noodles, tossing it to Gu Feng, and then locking the cabinet door with lightning speed, as if there really was a woman hiding inside.

Gu Feng took the instant noodles. He was so hungry that he didn't care about anything else. He tore open the seal and started crunching away. The sound was like chewing bones, which gave everyone goosebumps.

"Junior brother, how many meals have you missed?" Li Xiaolan asked weakly.

Gu Feng was too busy to speak, so he could only hold up one finger to answer.

Upon seeing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

Yang Xiaochen walked over and earnestly admonished, "Junior brother, even if you don't want to answer, you can't be so rude. It's very wrong to be impolite. Although your senior brother Li Xiaolan's character isn't great, he's still your senior brother. You should respect him and not insult him—even though he really deserves to be insulted..."

Gu Feng's eyes widened in disbelief. He quickly swallowed the noodles in his mouth, looking aggrieved. "Senior Brother Yang, when did I insult him? Didn't I answer him? One finger, one beating!"

As he spoke, Gu Feng raised that finger once again.

A chill ran down everyone's spine once again—because what he had raised to them was the middle finger.

"Second Senior Brother, do you have any more noodles? Give me another pack." Gu Feng finished the whole pack of instant noodles in just two minutes, but it was clear that he wasn't even half full.

"It's all gone, not even half a pack left." Erxi put on a stern face, his expression extremely frank.

Several people nodded in agreement. It was already quite remarkable that Erxi could pull out a packet of instant noodles at the end of the month, a time of food shortage. Everyone wanted to believe that he was innocent and that it was impossible for him to be hiding food.

Having seen countless people, Gu Feng could tell at a glance who had food and who didn't. He astutely believed that the more open and honest Senior Brother Erxi's expression was, the more likely he was trying to cover something up.

An idea struck him, and he mimicked Erxi's actions, turning his back slightly, quietly lifting the lid of his box a crack, reaching inside, pulling something out, and casually tossing it at Erxi: "Here, take this. Now you've got some face, right?"

With a crisp "bang," the thing fell to the ground. Erxi reacted too slowly and failed to catch it.

"What is that?" Everyone looked down at the same time. It was golden and shiny—it looked just like a gold bar.
