Li Xiaolan seemed to have truly gone mad.

The blood splattered on Chen Dashan's body had covered his head and face.

Chen Dashan, who had been hit three times in a row, was clearly out of breath and barely breathing.

But Li Xiaolan, already blinded by blood, once again swung the brick in his hand, about to smash it down on Chen Dashan's head...

"Enough! Enough! Senior brother!" Gu Feng couldn't stand it any longer, so he pounced on him, grabbed his wrist tightly, and snatched the brick from his hand.

If he wasn't stopped, Li Xiaolan would definitely smash Chen Dashan's head into a pile of minced meat.

As soon as the brick was taken from his hand, Li Xiaolan felt as if his soul had been ripped out. He knelt there motionless in front of Chen Dashan's body, whose fate was unknown.

At this point, no one at the scene had the courage to continue fighting.

It's unclear who started it, but everyone dropped their knives and clubs and ran for their lives.

The scene before them was so terrifying that they didn't have the courage to look at it any longer.

Li Xiaolan remained kneeling there, seemingly insane and absent-minded.

Gu Feng remained lucid throughout. He threw the brick far away, no longer caring about Li Xiaolan, and flew back to Ye Peng.

Ye Peng's face was as white as paper, his breath was so weak that it seemed he would stop breathing at any moment, and his eyes were half-open and weak, clearly indicating that he was exhaling more than inhaling.

The knife remained embedded in his body.

"Senior Brother Ye! Hold on! Hold on!" Gu Feng roared hoarsely, his movements as swift as lightning, quickly striking several vital acupoints on Ye Peng's body. Then he shouted to Peng Liangpei, "The car! Bring the car over here quickly!"

"Oh! Oh!" Peng Liangpei suddenly snapped out of her daze and sprinted towards the school. But as she ran, she felt a growing panic: her father, Dean Peng, hadn't come to the medical school today, and that damned Yan Xinyue always made her father pick her up and drop her off. She didn't own a car, and none of the people she knew had one... In this extremely urgent situation, where was she supposed to find a car?!

She rushed into the school gate with all her might, and in her panic, she looked up and saw Chu Xinran walking towards her.

She immediately rushed forward as if grasping at a straw, shouting hoarsely, "Chu Xinran! Did you drive here?"

Chu Xinran's sore has only just started to heal today, and she's in a great mood as she returns to school for the first time.

Little did she know that as soon as she stepped into the school gate, she would run into the person she least wanted to see—Peng Jingpei.

But upon seeing each other, she couldn't help but feel a chill.

This little vixen actually spoke to her first, and she looked utterly disheveled: her dress was stained with blood, one shoe was missing, her hair was disheveled, and her face was covered in blood, as if she had just been robbed—not only of her money, but also of her virtue. Her heart tightened suddenly, and she blurted out, "What happened to you? What's wrong?"

"Stop talking nonsense! I asked you if you drove here or not!" Peng Jingpei shouted anxiously, like a madwoman, her face looking extremely frightening.

Chu Xinran felt a chill run down her spine from her outburst and dared not ask any more questions. She hurriedly said, "It's here! It's here! What are you doing?"

"Quick! Drive to the entrance! Gu Feng is at the supermarket, we need to get to the hospital right away!" Peng Liangpei said, and without waiting for her reply, she took off running out the door.

Gu Feng... is injured?

Chu Xinran was startled, but only for a brief moment before she quickly regained her senses and ran to get the car.

When they arrived at the supermarket entrance, they saw that Gu Feng was holding Ye Peng, who was covered in blood and had a knife hilt sticking out of his body, as they collapsed to the ground.

Meanwhile, Li Xiaolan sat there blankly, a mangled corpse before him. The scene was a complete mess.

"Quick! Get in the car!" Chu Xinran didn't have time to think and shoved the car door open, shouting at them.

However, when she realized that the injured person was not Gu Feng, she couldn't help but feel a sense of relief—as for why, she herself couldn't explain it.

Gu Feng and Peng Liangpei hurriedly and carefully helped Ye Peng into the car.

Turning around and seeing Li Xiaolan still sitting there like a fool, Gu Feng could no longer contain his anger and roared, "Li Xiaolan! Fuck your mother! What are you still standing there for?!"

This earth-shattering roar finally brought Li Xiaolan's scattered soul back to its original state.

He shuddered and, seeing that Gu Feng and the others had already gotten into the car, hurriedly rushed up after them.

The moment the car door closed, Chu Xinran's engine roared to life, and the car sped off like an arrow towards the Municipal People's Hospital.

Inside the car, Gu Feng's hands and feet were still trembling slightly as he held Ye Peng tightly, who was pale and extremely weak, his eyes already red.

"Senior Brother Ye... why were you so foolish? Why did you take that knife for me!" His voice was hoarse, and his throat was sore from being choked.

"Junior brother...you stood up for me, gave me gold, and treated me like a brother...what does it matter if I take a knife for you..." Ye Peng's voice was barely audible, and his fingers trembled as he pulled something out of his pocket.

Gu Feng looked down and was suddenly struck as if by something—the gold medal he was clutching tightly in his hand was the one he had given him back then.

"Senior Brother Ye..." In that instant, Gu Feng felt as if something was tightly blocking his throat, and he could no longer utter a single word.

When I gave the money to my fellow disciples, I did so with a bit of the intention of winning them over, or even as a gesture of charity.

He never expected them to give him anything in return, and he thought they should have already exchanged the gold medal for cash and spent it all.

But to his utter surprise, Ye Peng kept it close to his body all along, willing to endure hunger rather than exchange it.

At this moment, Gu Feng felt a mix of emotions, a mixture of shame, guilt, pain, and regret, a feeling he couldn't quite describe.

"Junior brother, don't be sad... In this life, having you and Lao Li as brothers... I am very content..."

"Senior Brother Ye! You will be alright! I will never let anything happen to you!" Gu Feng gritted his teeth, but his vision was already blurred.

"Waaah—" Li Xiaolan could no longer hold on, covered her face with her hands, and cried out like a child.

Inside the carriage, a mournful wind and rain raged. Peng Liangpei and Chu Xinran, who was driving in front, both had tears streaming down their faces.

"Stop crying, you fucking people! He's not dead yet, what are you howling about!" Gu Feng roared suddenly.

The car fell into a deathly silence.

Peng Liangpei and Li Xiaolan stared at him blankly, and even Chu Xinran, who was driving in front, couldn't help but take a deep look at him several times in the rearview mirror.

"Calm down, all of you! Do what you're supposed to do! What's the use of crying? Will crying solve anything?" Gu Feng glared at them fiercely, then ignored them and lowered his head to carefully examine Ye Peng's injuries.

Once he was certain that Ye Peng, whose major acupoints had been sealed, could still hold on until he reached the hospital, he immediately took out his phone and dialed his advisor's number.

He had already seen clearly before getting into the car that Chen Dashan had indeed been killed on the spot by Li Xiaolan.

Although this could be considered revenge for Ye Peng, the incident occurred right in front of the school gate, in full view of everyone. If the aftermath wasn't dealt with immediately, the consequences would be unimaginable.

There's already one person whose fate is uncertain; he absolutely cannot let Li Xiaolan be dragged down with him.

After listening to everything Gu Feng said on the phone, especially upon hearing that the person who was smashed to death on the spot was a former low-ranking member of the Yihe Gang, the advisor's tone immediately became extremely solemn.

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Gu Feng, I'll go to the scene immediately. You guys go to the hospital first. It would be best to call Chu Hanliang or Chu Hanzhong right away."

"You mean... I should call the police now?" Gu Feng asked, frowning.

"That's right. This happened right at the school gate, and someone has already died, so the police are bound to be involved. We can't cover it up even if we wanted to. As for who is right and who is wrong, let's leave that aside for now. But it's one thing for you to call the police, and it's another thing for the police to come knocking on our door. You should understand that difference," the clerk said, word by word, on the other end of the phone.

"Understood." Gu Feng looked down at Ye Peng, who was barely alive in his arms, and then at Li Xiaolan, whose head and face were covered in blood. He sighed deeply.

"Then call the police immediately. I'll go to the scene first." As the clerk said this, the sound of a car door slamming shut could be heard from the other end of the phone. Clearly, he had gotten into the car and was speeding towards them.

"Okay, I know who to contact."

"Okay, I'll get there before the police," the clerk said before hanging up the phone.

Gu Feng then called Chu Hanzhong and recounted the whole story.
