Chapter 144: Rogue Twin Tao
When Yang Ming and company arrived at school, the students of Grade 12 from different classes had assembled on the field. The students flocked together and chatted with one another.
Wang Zhitao and Chen Afu had two underlings with them who were Bi Yuntao and An Quantao. Their nickname was Grade 12's "Invincible Twin Tao." Even though they were not in the same class as Wang Zhitao, their parents worked in family Wang's Xiongfeng Group. Hence, both of them had been Wang Zhitao's underlings ever since they were young. In fact, in elementary school, Wang Zhitao belonged to the category of 'hedonistic rich kids'. Along with the two of them, people called him the "Triple Tao Overlord." However, Wang Zhitao became more restrained as he grew older.
People regarded Bi Yuntao and An Quantao as ruthless like Li Dagang in school. But, they wouldn't dare to cause any trouble in front of a super-duper ruthless person like Yang Ming. Hence, they didn't interact much with Yang Ming, and therefore Yang Ming didn't know them.
Wang Zhitao and his three followers were discussing how to teach Yang Ming a lesson. As they noticed Yang Ming coming from afar, Wang Zhitao immediately signaled a hand gesture to his three followers. He squeezed a smile and waved his hand to Yang Ming. "Yang Ming, come here!"
Yang Ming had noticed Wang Zhitao and company earlier. He also "observed" the topic of their discussion clearly. It seemed like his efforts in learning lip-reading wasn't wasted at all. Yang Ming laughed secretly. Let's see who is the fool.
"Wang Zhitao, you are so early! The two of them are..." Yang Ming pointed at An Quantao and Bi Yuntao.
"Oh, both of them are my primary school classmates. Right now, they are in Class 5. Hey, let me introduce them. He is An Quantao, and he is Bi Yuntao!" Wang Zhitao said to both of them, "This is my good buddy, Yang Ming!"
Good buddy? Yang Ming had a cold smile in his heart. Do you think I don't know what you said to them? Yang Ming gave a sidelong glance at An Quantao and Bi Yuntao. It was apparent that the two of them weren't good fellows. Certainly, they were birds of the same feather as Wang Zhitao.
"Condom [1]? Contraception [2]?" Yang Ming intentionally said it in exaggeration, "Two condoms? Nickname?"
An Quantao and Bi Yuntao certainly had a sour expression after hearing it. However, they didn't dare to cause any mess now. Firstly, they were no match for Yang Ming. Secondly, Wang Zhitao wouldn't allow them to have a conflict with Yang Ming now.
"Ha, not condom and contraception. It is An Quantao and Bi Yuntao!" Wang Zhitao explained.
"Oh, I thought it was your nickname. It is too obscene!" Yang Ming spoke in sarcasm.
"Hehe, yes. Who knew how they came up with that name?" Wang Zhitao chimed in.
An Quantao and Bi Yuntao noticed how Wang Zhitao talked about it. Definitely, they weren't fond of it, but they didn't dare to speak out loud. Why are my parents working for his family? Most likely, Wang Zhitao will be taking up the general manager post of Xiongfeng group. At that time, he will control the survival of my parents! Also, I will probably be working for Wang Zhitao in the future. Hence, either of them didn't dare to have a second opinion about it.
"En, that's a unique character!" Yang Ming nodded his head. He acted friendly with Wang Zhitao on the surface, but, he didn't want to talk so much. Hence, he spoke perfunctorily with Wang Zhitao. Then, he continued to chatter with Zhang Bing. Since it was in school, it wasn't very appropriate for Chen Mengyan to stick closely with Yang Ming. Hence, she mingled with other female students.
"Why is the bus not here yet?" Chen Afu was impatient.
After a while, a speeding minibus arrived. Chen Afu was prepared to board the minibus first so that he could offer a seat to Wang Zhitao later on. With his goal to act like a smarta**, Chen Afu knocked on the minibus door, "Kuang! Kuang!," and said impatiently, "Open the door faster!"
"Dumba**, f*** you. This is a school bus dedicated to the teachers. Your buses are coming behind!" The driver stretched out his head and scolded in agitation.
One sentence was enough to render Chen Afu in embarrassment. He wanted to display his capability, but it backfired. Yang Ming shook his head after he witnessed it. A retard like him can only be the follower of Wang Zhitao.
Chen Afu can be regarded as a war machine among smarta**es. The previous incident of him reporting Yang Ming was the result of his impulsive drive. Hence, Yang Ming felt that he could utilize Chen Afu further. If the plan worked well, it would disgust Wang Zhitao for quite some time
After a few moments, a few old buses arrived. They were for the students in each class.
In fact, it was irrational to have higher expectations for a better bus given a twenty yuan fare for each person. As such, it was ten yuan for a one-way trip. Of course, a price of a public bus would only offer a bus ride! It was amusing that Chen Afu expected to have a ride in a Mercedes-Benz with merely twenty yuan. It wasn't realistic after all.
The public bus was bigger. Everyone on board essentially had a seat. Yang Ming sat with Zhang Bing. Chen Mengyan sat together with a girl named Zhao Sisi.
Zhao Sisi and Chen Mengyan had a good friendship. Hence, Chen Mengyan could only glance at Yang Ming. She couldn't just ignore Zhao Sisi.
Zhao Sisi was someone with average looks but was a delicate girl. If someone was to have this type of girl as his wife, she would be excellent wife material for a family. However, Yang Ming wasn't fond of this type of girl.
"What do you think about Zhao Sisi?" Zhang Bing suddenly asked Yang Ming.
"Zhao Sisi?" Yang Ming was surprised. "You like Zhao Sisi?"
"Nope." Zhang Bing immediately denied. "I merely feel that her personality is quite different from Chen Mengyan. How can the both of them be good friends?"
"Who knows? Women can't understand the brotherhood between men; men can't understand the sisterhood between women." Yang Ming shook his head in a dismissive manner.
"Hey, this sentence is classic!" Zhang Bing thought deeply, "Ai, oh ya, do you think Chen Afu likes Zhao Sisi?"
Yang Ming raised his head and looked in the direction of Chen Mengyan. What appeared in front of his eyes was Chen Afu and Wang Zhitao sitting behind them. "Wang Zhitao is harassing my wife over there. Didn't you notice? Ai? Oh ya, why do you care so much about Zhao Sisi?"
"No, I just felt that Chen Afu is a dumba**. I am irritated just by catching the sight of him." Zhang Bing laughed it off.
West Star Mountain Reservoir is situated at West Star Mountain in Litong County, northwest of Song Jiang City. It is 137 km away from the urban area. It was historically known as Chang'e River. The reservoir was called Chang'e Lake. During the Tang dynasty, Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi [3] and many other poets had endured thousands of miles to recite a poem on the boat and go sightseeing. Ever since then, this place had turned into a tourism spot of Song Jiang City.
Recently, West Star Mountain turned into an excellent place for sightseeing, leisure, and fishing. On weekends and holidays, crowds of tourists and fishermen would visit here for amusement and fishing. Besides having a great view of the joyful scenery, there were also delightful moments in fishing for betta fish [4].
They arrived at the West Star Mountain Reservoir after two hours. The teachers and class monitors of each class divided the room after the headcount.
The accommodation fee was collected on the spot. In other words, they could choose either a twin bedroom or eight-bed dorm, since they paid for it themselves.
Zhang Bing straight ahead took out four hundred yuan and reserved two twin bedrooms. It wasn't anything for Chen Mengyan due to her relationship with Yang Ming. However, Zhao Sisi was shy. She insisted on paying a hundred yuan to Zhang Bing.
Yang Ming had already noticed something wasn't right with Zhang Bing. At this moment, he seemed to notice something about Zhang Bing's offer. It was undeniable that Zhang Bing was generous with friends, but it was only limited to friends. For strangers with no connection to him, it should be what it had been - everything on their own. As such, Zhang Bing already possessed the potential of a successful businessman.
However, for today, Zhang Bing didn't want to accept the money even though it was passed into his hand. Yang Ming noticed it. Hence, he gave an eye signal to Chen Mengyan.
Chen Mengyan was smart. She muttered to herself slightly and grasped Yang Ming's message. She smiled while holding Zhao Sisi hands. "Sisi, you don't need to be modest with them! You knew about the relationship between me and Yang Ming. You are my best friend, and Zhang Bing is Yang Ming's best friend. How can he possibly accept money from you?"
"Then… alright… How about I treat you all for a meal?" Zhao Sisi hesitated a little bit. She wasn't someone who sought petty gains.
"Hehe, let's talk about it later!" Zhang Bing said with a smile, "Let's go ahead and settle down with our luggage first!"
In fact, most of the items that they brought for the trip were food. Yang Ming and Zhang Bing carried big bags into the room.
Wang Zhitao was tickled with anger when he saw the lovey-dovey scene between Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan. But, his conscientiousness told him to stop harassing Cheng Mengyan during this period of time. Based on Chen Mengyan's indifference and her beating around the bush attitude toward him on the bus ride, Wang Zhitao realized that his lie on the photo incident was exposed. The impression Chen Mengyan had on him dropped to rock bottom.
But, he was restless. With regard to family background and talent, I am better than Yang Ming on so many levels. Why is Yang Ming so lucky? Sometimes, the reason to be jealous was simple and Wang Zhitao definitely acted so.

Chapter 145: Find Someone to Screw You Guys Up!
The hotel had a dining hall. A buffet was served in the afternoon, where it was ten yuan per person. They could choose to accept it or not. Since everyone had just arrived here and wasn't willing to go out, the majority of the people had chosen to eat the buffet here.
Yang Ming, Zhang Bing, and Chen Mengyan were part of this group.
"What do you all want to eat? I can go and grab it for you guys," Zhang Bing asked Zhao Sisi eagerly.
"It's alright. I can go look for it myself with Chen Mengyan. We don't need to trouble you both." Zhao Sisi wasn't close to Zhang Bing, so she didn't feel like troubling him.
"Er... about that Zhao Sisi. Then you are wrong." Zhang Bing just pulled Zhao Sisi aside and said to her seriously.
"Ah? What do you mean by that?" Zhao Sisi felt slightly confused. Why would it be my fault if I didn't want to trouble you?
"En, this was the case. You know of the relationship between Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan, right? If you let the both of us go and grab something to eat, and you are there guarding Chen Mengyan by yourself, wouldn't that be very impolite? Wouldn't Yang Ming hate you for that?" Zhang Bing said it with some seemingly convincing logic.
"Ah? Really?" Zhao Sisi suddenly felt a bit lost. Was I truly disrupting them? "Then what do you think I should do?"
"The both of us can move away from them and give them some space together. Stop being their third wheel." Zhang Bing pretended to not know anything and just held Zhao Sisi's hand as they both walked quickly to the area where food was served.
Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan just looked at one another and smiled bitterly. The reasoning from Zhang Bing was pretty high-sounding! But Yang Ming didn't really understand. Why would Zhang Bing fall for Zhao Sisi? How did I not notice that before this?
Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan took up their dining tray and went to the other side to get some dishes.
Chen Mengyan got herself some vegetables, while Yang Ming kept picking up food like red braised pork belly [1], and slices of fish onto his plate.
Suddenly, there seemed to be some chaos in front of the main food area. Yang Ming frowned because he heard Zhang Bing's voice.
"Please take my tray back. I will go and have a look." Yang Ming told Chen Mengyan.
"Do you want to go there? For what? Don't create more trouble!" Chen Mengyan was concerned.
"Zhang Bing seems to have gotten himself into some trouble. I must go." Yang Ming placed his dishes on the counter beside him.
"Then you be careful. Don't get yourself into any trouble." Chen Mengyan reminded him. She wasn't the type of person who liked to get herself involved in other people's business, but she was also genuinely concerned for Yang Ming.
Yang Ming hastened his steps as he walked there, then he saw Zhang Bing and Zhao Sisi surrounded by a few gangster-looking people.
"What happened?" Yang Ming asked a student who was just a busybody, observing the situation.
"This was the case..." The student summarized what had occurred.
Once Yang Ming had heard about the situation, he understood what had transpired. It seemed that Zhao Sisi wanted to eat the date cake [2], but there was only one piece of date cake left. The green haired gangster's girl also wanted to eat date cake. Therefore when Zhang Bing took the last piece of date cake, the gangster just used his chopsticks to snatch the date cake over. Zhang Bing was visibly enraged, he said, "What are you doing? Don't you know the term, first come, first served?"
The green hat gangster saw how Zhang Bing dared to talk back to him and got incensed as well. He ruthlessly grabbed the date cake toward himself while scolding, "You motherf******, let go now!"
If it had been any other time, Zhang Bing wouldn't mind this kind of little thing, but right now Zhao Sisi was beside him. How could Zhang Bing lose this portion? Therefore, he tightened his throat and also clenched on tightly to that date cake with his chopsticks, "Who are you scolding? You let go of your hand now. Do you believe that I can find someone to screw you up?"
"Ha, find someone?" The green haired gangster laughed loudly as if he heard a big joke, "Did I hear it wrong? Did you want to find someone to screw me up?"
"Yes, so what? If you know how to read the situation, you should let go right now!" Even though Zhang Bing had hung around with Yang Ming for a while now, he was still a student who never actually went into society. So he didn't have that ruthless aura like Yang Ming. His vigor seemed to be a notch lower than the opponent.
The green haired gangster had never put Zhang Bing in his eyes. Therefore he just used his force to get the date cake over to his side. Zhang Bing wanted to take it back, but the cake fell to the floor.
The green haired gangster was angry. "Do you want to die!" As he finished his sentence, he took his chopsticks and attempted to attack Zhang Bing.
Zhang Bing's head was fuming. He wasn't afraid of anything now. All that he wanted to do was to have a life and death fight with the green haired gangster. But Zhao Sisi was a bit scared, so she pulled Zhang Bing's shirt and said, "Stop fighting with him. We can't offend them..."
"Hui! There was still a little girl beside you? Still pretty good looking. How about you call me a word of good brother, then I will give the date cake to you?" The green haired gangster smiled lewdly.
"Call your mom! What kind of thing are you?" Another person rushed over and started scolding at the nose of the green haired gangster.
This kind of smarta** definitely wouldn't be Yang Ming because Yang Ming would never be a smarta**. Only Chen Ahfu, this type of person, can be described by a word like "smarta**"!
The term "smarta**" seemed to be perfectly created for you! Yang Ming knew that there was a little bit of drama to watch. It seemed that Zhang Bing was right. This Chen Afu was obviously interested in Zhao Sisi.
"Ha!" The green haired gangster was amused as he looked at Chen Afu. "What kind of f*rt are you? Who didn't tighten their b*tthole that you slipped out from it?"
"Brother, which street are you from? Give us some face!" Bi Yuntao and An Quantao also walked there, with a look that genuinely displayed the essence of brotherhood.
Chen Afu was Wang Zhitao's follower. If he didn't care for his follower, who else would follow him? This type of logic Wang Zhitao could still understand, so he nodded his head and sent Bi Yuntao and An Quantao to settle the case.
"Give you some face? Who the heck are the both of you?" The green haired punk was very excited. "Little b****. Do you guys think the way you shape a bad person is to turn him into a good person? Stop taking those methods used by schools to embarrass yourself. Return to where you came from. There's nothing here that has to do with you!"
"He's our brother!" Bi Yuntao pointed at Chen Afu as he said, " Give us a break. Forgive whatever happened. If you ever need our help in the future, just open your mouth."
"F***! I give you face, and you don't want it." The green haired gangster gave him a tight slap, "Who the heck do you think you are? F*** off!"
"You!" An Quantao's face turned dark. But the other three gangsters who were with the green haired gangster surrounded them after being instructed.
"Don't you want to serve justice?" The green haired gangster asked in a carefree manner, "Do it!"
If Chen Afu had not gotten involved, Yang Ming would have gone ahead. But since there was a smarta** like Chen Afu who went over to hype up the situation, Yang Ming was also happy to see how he would embarrass himself. Once Bi Yuntao had taken a slap, only then did Yang Ming appear. Since the person who was involved was his own brother, Yang Ming couldn't just leave him like that. These few students who only knew how to pretend at school would unquestionably not be the opponents of a gangster from society.
Yang Ming was certain that he alone could settle the four of them for a reason. The person at the forefront, the green haired gangster, was the exactly the person whom he taught a lesson to in the detention center! He was the one who fought for a bun with Fang Tian!
Yang Ming didn't really understand why he enjoyed fighting others over food. Was he a reincarnation of a hungry ghost? However, these were all out of Yang Ming's concern. Right now, Yang Ming just wanted to send this guy away. Chen Mengyan was still there waiting for him!
En, it seemed like Chen Mengyan didn't want me to get involved in any trouble. Then it was this brat's lucky day. Yang Ming originally planned to at least beat him up until he couldn't wake up for the next three days.
Once Yang Ming walked over, he picked up the date cake from the floor.
Everyone there was stunned! The green haired gangster was stunned. Zhang Bing was stunned. Chen Afu and Bi Yuntao, they all were also stunned! What kind of song was Yang Ming singing?
Because Yang Ming bent down to pick up the date cake, the green haired gangster couldn't see his face. The green haired gangster was still feeling confused. The moment Yang Ming stood up, he shoved the date cake down the gangster's throat.
"Your mo--- " The word mother was just uttered halfway, and the date cake had gone into his mouth! At this moment, the punk had clearly recognized Yang Ming's face!
Ai ya my mother! The green haired gangster felt a shock in his heart. He was so near to sitting down on the floor! How did this mad person come here? At that time the scene of how Yang Ming beat up Yu Xiangde was still clearly visible in his eyes! This guy typically kills with his every move!
As he thought about this, the green gangster couldn't help but shiver.
"You really like to fight with others over food, right?" Yang Ming ridiculed the green haired gangster before him. "I have heard that dogs love to do this the most. What's your relationship with them?"
"Small brat, do you want to die..." One of the green hair gangster's underdogs wanted to make a move immediately, but the bald gangster who was in the detention center together with the green haired gangster also recognized Yang Ming. He stopped the other two gangsters who wanted to release their anger.
"Don't... Don't fight with elder brother Yang..." As his words finished, he turned around and said, "Brother Yang, you... you... Why are you here?"
"Is it not ok that I came here for a trip? Is it not ok that I came here for a vacation? What does it have to do with you?" Yang Ming replied to him three sentences, pointed at Zhang Bing and he said, "This is my brother. He said he wanted to find someone to screw you guys up. You didn't believe him?"
