All the heavens begin with the love in the courtyard.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Jun's anger subsided considerably, but he couldn't lose face in front of his friends, so he mustered his courage and spoke boldly.

"Look at you cowards! There's no girl in this world I, Yuan Jun, wouldn't dare to pursue. But this girl's looks are just average, I'm not into that kind of thing. I think Yuemin even found out her name, he's obviously been waiting for his chance. As the saying goes, 'One should not covet a friend's wife...'"

Everyone burst into laughter, followed by a chorus of agreement.

At this moment, Zhong Yuemin's smile vanished. He stood up, his gaze sharp, and looked in Zhou Xiaobai's direction.

The group noticed Zhong Yuemin's unusual behavior and looked across at each other. After seeing the situation, they all turned their attention to Zhong Yuemin, waiting for his instructions.

Across from Zhou Xiaobai, that little rascal was performing like a figure skater, twirling around in front of the two girls. He was clearly eyeing them. Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun were terrified and hugged each other.

Some of the young people around wanted to meddle, but the little rascal immediately revealed the signature spiky barb in his bag, and everyone took several steps back. Several people around recognized the little rascal, so no one dared to interfere anymore.

Seeing this, Zhong Yuemin revealed a cruel smile. This guy is really arrogant. But that's fine. He has a way to heaven but chooses not to, so he comes to hell by himself.

I was originally planning to wait until Ning Bin's time to do it, but since we've run into each other here, I'll just take care of the little rascal here today!

However, Zhong Yuemin didn't dare to do that in front of everyone. He beckoned to the group and then spoke to them with his head down.

"I'm going to deal with that little rascal now. He definitely won't dare to make a move at the skating rink. You guys go to the exit and get ready. Remember to prepare as I told you before. Also, don't do anything alone later. Get your things ready and wait for me to arrive so we can make arrangements!"

The others nodded, but Zheng Tong still spoke with some concern.

"Yuemin, you're going alone, what if..."

Before Zheng Tong could finish speaking, Zhong Yuemin interrupted him.

"Stop whining and just listen to my instructions. Remember, make sure the sticks are sturdy, and bring plenty!"

The group nodded and then dispersed towards the exit.

With a cold face, Zhong Yuemin slid towards Zhou Xiaobai's position. Zhong Yuemin's body was really good. He was not even seventeen years old, but he was already almost 1.8 meters tall. Among Yuan Jun and Zheng Tong's brothers, he stood out like a crane among chickens.

He attended a sports school, trained in wrestling and boxing, and ice skating was a skill he had known since childhood. In the past, when he encountered troublemakers, his catchphrase was...

"Kid, want to spar one-on-one or come at me all at once?"

Despite his arrogant stature, he was extremely sincere, which is why he had many friends, such as Zheng Tong and Yuan Jun, with whom he shared a lifelong bond of brotherhood.

When Zhong Yuemin appeared in front of the little rascal, the little rascal, who was less than 1.6 meters tall, almost blocked him.

When Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun saw the tall man who suddenly appeared, their surprise and joy were undisguised. For the first time, Zhou Xiaobai also seriously opened her beautiful big eyes and carefully looked at the tall boy who had suddenly appeared in front of her. His cold face and a pair of melancholy eyes made her remember Zhong Yuemin.

The little rascal's disdain was written all over his face when he saw Zhong Yuemin's face. But when he slid to the left, Zhong Yuemin followed him to the left; when he slid to the right, Zhong Yuemin blocked him on the right, effectively separating him from the two girls.

Seeing that his skating skills couldn't keep up with Zhong Yuemin's, the little rascal stopped and glared at Zhong Yuemin. He obviously recognized Zhong Yuemin, but he also regarded Zhong Yuemin as just another ordinary kid from a high-ranking family. He figured he'd just get rid of him.

He reached into his small satchel, and continued to berate him.

"Kid, I think your face is so irritating. I advise you to get lost, or I'll sew your way through and send you to report to the King of Hell sooner!"

Zhong Yuemin stared coldly at the little rascal. He hadn't expected that this kid would disregard all rules and not even consider a way out, and would directly try to stab him.

That's true. If anyone had even a little bit of sense, they wouldn't have been so ruthless towards the children of high-ranking officials in just one month. The parents of those children who were stabbed were all people that this kid couldn't afford to mess with. If they had caught him, would he have had any chance of survival? It's just that during this special era, some aspects of management were too chaotic, otherwise this kid wouldn't have survived for more than half an hour.

Moreover, a normal person would never dare to prick so many people and then swagger into the ice rink. This kind of person is incredibly arrogant.

Zhong Yuemin was also panicking. This kid was not playing by the rules, and he had no way to deal with him. Seeing that the kid's hand had already reached into his bag, Zhong Yuemin's mind raced and he shouted.

"You little brat, you think you can get away with this? Let's go outside and settle this one-on-one! Don't tell me you're too scared; if you're too scared, you might as well be called a coward!"

The little rascal, who had no brains, was so angry upon hearing Zhong Yuemin's words that his head was practically steaming. He immediately pulled out his thorns and shouted at Zhong Yuemin.

"You little brat, I'm waiting for you outside the skating rink right now. If you don't dare to come, you're my grandson, and if I don't kill you today, I'll take your surname!"

Chapter 141: Watch How I'll Beat You Up

After saying that, the little brat angrily skated towards the exit of the skating rink.

Zhong Yuemin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the little rascal leave. He turned around and glanced at Zhou Xiaobai and the other person, but he didn't intend to say hello. Just as he was about to leave, Zhou Xiaobai called out to him somewhat nervously.

"Hey! Don't go! That guy is a bad person. Let's go call the police!"

Zhong Yuemin's lips curled up slightly. He turned around and glanced at the two girls, but didn't explain anything further. Then he followed the little rascal's figure and slid towards the exit.

Seeing that Zhong Yuemin was ignoring her, Zhou Xiaobai, who was standing behind her, angrily spoke to Luo Yun.

"Luo Yun, what's wrong with this guy? He used to act like a thug to pick up girls, and now he's acting all cold. Is he crazy?"

Luo Yun watched Zhong Yuemin's retreating figure with a flourish, and muttered softly to herself.

"I think this boy is very unique, he's different from other boys. Xiaobai, what do you think his name is?"

Seeing Luo Yun's infatuated expression, Zhou Xiaobai angrily shook Luo Yun's arm and said something.

"Hey, what are you thinking about? You little flirt, you haven't even spoken to him yet and you've already got your eye on him? Let me tell you, he might just be pretending to be deep and mysterious to attract us."

Luo Yun's gaze remained fixed on the distance as she playfully joked with Zhou Xiaobai, asking him a question in a teasing tone.

"Xiaobai, you didn't like this guy? Well, I'm going to pursue him! Don't blame me later!"

Upon hearing Luo Yun's words, Zhou Xiaobai panicked and hurriedly replied.

"Who...who said I didn't like it!"

Luo Yun laughed heartily and teased Zhou Xiaobai, holding his hand.

"See? You've been exposed. I told you, our Miss Zhou usually wouldn't say a word to a boy she dislikes. But today she deliberately tried to make conversation. I know your personality. This guy is a real man, isn't he? So many people didn't dare to come out and help us, but he did. He even challenged that bad guy to a fight outside. Xiaobai, do you think he might be in danger?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiaobai's heart tightened, and he said urgently.

"Luo Yun, let's go call the police quickly, don't let them start fighting!"

If Zhong Yuemin knew they were only now thinking of calling the police, it would be too late. The little rascal's figure had already disappeared into the skating rink. Zhong Yuemin deliberately lagged behind and looked around.

Once outside the skating rink, he could see the little rascal standing by the wall in the distance, playing with the thorny spikes in his hand and looking at him coldly.

Zhong Yuemin looked around and saw that Yuan Jun and Zheng Tong, who were not far away, were already prepared, each holding two sticks in their hands.

Zhong Yuemin gave them a wink, and Yuan Jun and the others quickly went to the opposite intersection to block it. Zheng Tong also ran up to Zhong Yuemin with two wooden sticks and handed him a thick wooden stick.

Zhong Yuemin took the thick wooden stick, weighed it in his hand, and thought the weight was just right. Hehe, an inch longer, an inch stronger. You little bastard, I'll break your hand that's holding those short thorns today.

Zhong Yuemin told Zheng Tong to stay away from him, in case the little rascal suddenly attacked Zheng Tong and he couldn't defend himself. He had a lot of confidence in his body.

The little rascal also suddenly saw this scene. He immediately stood up straight. However, the reason he was called the little rascal was that his thoughts were different from those of normal people.

Seeing this, a normal person would probably be thinking about how to get out of the way, but the little rascal snorted and walked over to Zhong Yuemin. When he got close to Zhong Yuemin, he arrogantly cursed.

"You little brat, you know that a wooden stick is effective against my thorns? If you're so capable, throw away your stick and see how I'll kill you!"

Zhong Yuemin smiled, shook his head, and said two words to the little rascal.

"Idiot!"

Enraged by these words, the little rascal instantly flew into a rage. He disregarded the wooden stick in Zhong Yuemin's hand and charged at Zhong Yuemin with the thorns in his hand.

Seeing the little rascal's actions, Zhong Yuemin instantly became extremely alert, gripped the wooden stick tightly, and almost at the same time the little rascal raised his hand, he struck his wrist hard.

"what!"

The little rascal let out a bloodcurdling scream as the thorn was knocked to the ground. He clutched his hand, his face instantly turning red. However, he was clearly not convinced and bent down to pick it up, but Zhong Yuemin didn't give him the chance and kicked him hard in the shoulder.

He kicked the little rascal several meters away. The little rascal was also physically strong. He rolled over and got up. Seeing that he was at a disadvantage, he didn't think much or say anything. He turned around and ran away.

Upon seeing this, Zhong Yuemin quickly shouted to Ning Bin and Yuan Jun, who were in the distance.

"Blocked! Don't let him get away!"

When Yuan Jun and Ning Bin saw the little rascal running towards them, they exchanged an excited glance, their faces filled with a mixture of excitement and nervousness.

Yuan Jun shouted excitedly.

"You little rascal, today you're going to fall into my hands, Yuan Jun! Grandson, let your grandpa teach you a lesson!"

As he spoke, he gripped the wooden stick tightly, like someone playing rugby, waiting for the little rascal to strike.

The little rascal had already spotted the two blocking the road ahead. Looking back, he saw Zhong Yuemin's cold face. He steeled himself, stopped thinking, and ran while bending over, grabbing a handful of dry dirt from the ground with his left hand and quickly picking up a pebble with his right, clutching it in his palm. He ran desperately toward Yuan Jun and Ning Bin.

"Here he comes, here he comes, Ning Bin! I'll hit him on the head, you hit him in the stomach, let's take him down with a two-pronged attack!"

Ning Bin gripped the wooden stick tightly with excitement and nodded in agreement. "That little rascal is quite famous lately. He's known as the killer of the children of high-ranking officials, and he's invincible throughout Beijing."

They didn't expect to be defeated by them today. From now on, they'll have plenty to brag about. This is the most impressive thing for someone their age.

The little rascal looked at the two people so close to him and no longer hesitated. He threw dust from his left hand at them like a whirlwind, and while they had their eyes closed, he held a pebble in his right hand and punched one of them in the stomach with the sharp end.

"what!"

A scream rang out from the dust. When Yuan Jun opened his eyes, the little rascal had already run several meters away. His eyes were stinging from the dust, while Ning Bin next to him was clutching his stomach, groaning in pain, with blood flowing down his hand.

Yuan Jun was terrified and didn't know whether to chase after them or save them first. Fortunately, Zhong Yuemin had arrived and, seeing the situation, quickly shouted to Yuan Jun.

"You guys hurry up and help Ning Bin to the hospital. I'm going after that brat. Hurry, hurry, don't just stand there like an idiot!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Jun immediately felt reassured and rushed to help Ning Bin. Zheng Tong also dropped his stick halfway and hurried over.

Seeing this, Zhong Yuemin didn't linger any longer. He gripped the wooden stick and chased after the little rascal. This matter with the little rascal had to be resolved today, otherwise, given the little rascal's personality, he would definitely retaliate.

Zhong Yuemin's physical abilities far surpassed those of the little rascal, but the little rascal, thanks to his years of street life, was also quite adept at escaping. He would scale any wall and crawl into any hole he saw, and several times, Zhong Yuemin almost lost him.

Chapter 142: Instant Fame

Watching the little rascal's retreating figure, Zhong Yuemin chased after him with gritted teeth and drenched in sweat. If it were the Zhong Yuemin of the original novel, he definitely wouldn't have given up at this point.

But now that he has merged with the soul of a man in his thirties, he knows very well that if this unpredictable little rascal manages to escape, he will never be able to get a good night's sleep.

So even if it's a dog hole, he'll crawl into it if he can. But by the time he got here, the wooden stick in his hand had long since disappeared. The two were simply testing their willpower.

After chasing for almost half an hour, the little rascal jumped over a wall and was about to rush forward when he looked up and was stunned. There was no exit at all. This was an alley, and the exit had been blocked by a wall.

Just as he was about to turn around, he saw Zhong Yuemin leap down. The two faced each other, staring at one another. The little rascal reacted quickly and kicked Zhong Yuemin.

His height only allowed him to kick Zhong Yuemin's thigh, almost hitting the groin. Zhong Yuemin was so frightened that he tried to dodge, but it was too late. He was still kicked hard on the upper side of his thigh, and Zhong Yuemin staggered and fell backward.

Seeing that he had succeeded, the little rascal didn't give Zhong Yuemin any chance to react and kicked him in the temple.

Zhong Yuemin was terrified and hurriedly tried to block the attack. He managed to block it, but the blow was still enough to hurt him. The intense pain in his arm caused his adrenaline to surge. Almost simultaneously, Zhong Yuemin grabbed the little rascal's ankle and pulled him to the ground.

Taking advantage of his height, Zhong Yuemin flipped over and pinned the little rascal down on top of him. A cruel smile appeared on his lips as he delivered a heavy punch to the little rascal's face. He had long disliked that face.

With a punch, the little rascal screamed. Zhong Yuemin pressed his arm against his chest and said fiercely.

"Are you satisfied?"
