Chapter 1575 An Unpleasant First Encounter

Springtime is always vibrant, and university life is truly wonderful.

The sun is shining brightly today, and spring is in full bloom.

The Bund is undeniably bustling, always teeming with traffic and crowds. Many tourists take photos here, while others paint and sketch.

Huangpu Park is China's first public park, encapsulating the history of Shanghai since its opening to foreign trade.

To the north is the Suzhou Creek, and there is also the Waibaidu Bridge, which is the river crossing between the HP and HK districts. It is located at the confluence of the Suzhou Creek and the Huangpu River and is my country's first all-steel riveted bridge and the only remaining bridge with an unequal height truss structure.

To the east lies the Huangpu River, where countless ambitions and aspirations, as well as countless tears and bloodshed, lie buried.

To the west lies the Bund, a collection of international architectural styles. Compared to the invasions it represents, this name is refreshing and unconventional...

Nan Xiang sketched in the park, setting up her easel, preparing her brushes and ink, and sitting on her own folding chair.

She was a beautiful woman, and she also knew how to dress herself well. With her long, flowing hair, wearing a white dress and canvas shoes, she exuded youthful beauty. As the early spring breeze tousled her hair and lifted the hem of her dress, she gained an air of ethereal freshness.

She sat there quietly painting, becoming another beautiful sight in the park. Men and women passing by couldn't help but glance at her.

She certainly liked the attention; it proved her beauty and her attractiveness.

However, she also has many worries.

I glanced at the man standing guard next to the trash can, wearing classic Warrior canvas shoes, jeans, and a black hooded sweatshirt.

The man had shoulder-length hair styled with hair wax and slicked back. He had sharp features and a pair of beautiful eyes. He stood on one leg, arms crossed, smoking a cigarette, a smile playing on his lips, staring at her.

Normally, when she looked at other men, most of them would avoid her gaze. But this woman was one of the few; instead, when she looked over, she smiled and nodded in greeting.

The feeling of being watched made her uncomfortable, and the smell of smoke made it difficult for her to breathe...

As the saying goes, while you are admiring the scenery, others are also admiring you.

Not far away, a young man wearing a leather jacket, with his hair pulled back high and a somewhat intimidating look on his face, walked over. It was he who had witnessed Nan Xiang exchanging glances with that man.

As Nan Xiang's boyfriend, Xi Cheng had often beaten and scolded Nan Xiang, but that didn't mean he didn't care about her; on the contrary, he cared about her a lot.

So whenever he sees someone looking at Nan Xiang, he glares back fiercely. If someone tries to chat up Nan Xiang, he'll even punch them before they even exchange a couple of words.

As a man, protecting your girlfriend and preventing others from stealing her away is undoubtedly perfectly reasonable.

So, as usual, he went straight to the person smoking there.

Xi Cheng walked over and reached out to put his arm around the man's shoulder.

Wang Yan waved his hand away, asking, "Who are you?"

"Who do you care who I am! Let me tell you, some people are not for you to worry about, do you understand?"

As he spoke, Xi Cheng reached out and tried to push Wang Yan.

Wang Yan grabbed his wrist, spun him around halfway, and kicked him in the butt, sending him staggering away, almost falling flat on his face.

"Why do you hit people like that?"

Noticing the commotion, Nan Xiang quickly put down her paintbrush, ran over to help Xi Cheng up, and stopped him from hitting anyone.

However, Xi Cheng was not appreciative. He was an extreme and proud person with inherent hooligan habits. Like a dog, the more you pulled him, the fiercer he barked, to the point that his brain could not think and he could only shout and bite.

So Xi Cheng shoved Nan Xiang away, completely ignoring the fact that Nan Xiang fell to the ground after being pushed by him. He rushed over and kicked Wang Yan hard, his face contorted with rage, as if he wanted to kick Wang Yan to death.

Wang Yan dodged the kick by sidestepping, then delivered a light but firm slap to the face, followed by another kick that sent Xi Cheng flying. With a flick of his finger, he sent the cigarette butt flying into Xi Cheng's face.

It even slipped down his collar, burning Xi Cheng so much that he jumped up with a scream, frantically shaking his clothes.

At this moment, Nan Xiang got up and tried to stop Xi Cheng again, but Xi Cheng was overwhelmed by the immense humiliation and could not listen to any advice or reason. The only thing that could awaken him was the pain.

Just after he charged forward, cursing loudly, he finally found his redemption.

Wang Yan gave him a good beating, and soon Xi Cheng was squatting down with his hands on his head, taking the beating without uttering a sound.

"Stop fighting, stop fighting..."

Xi Cheng squatted down and spoke.

After he finished speaking, he did feel the punches and kicks stop, and couldn't help but look up. He saw Wang Yan raise his hand again, which startled him so much that he covered his head again.

However, the blow didn't hit him. He had already instinctively cried out in pain, and couldn't help but look up. He saw a pair of size 44 feet kicking straight into his face.

"Why did you hit him?" Nan Xiang walked up and helped Xi Cheng, whose face was already bruised and swollen, to his feet. "I've already called the police. You can't leave now."

"What are you talking about? I was acting in self-defense, why would I leave?"

Wang Yan chuckled and pulled out a cigarette from his pocket, nodding at the camera next to him. "Look, there are surveillance cameras there, recording the whole thing. You'll know whose fault it is once you watch the footage."

Wang Yan lit a cigarette and waved to those around him, "Alright, there's nothing to see here, everyone move along. That girl is quite pretty, probably feeling embarrassed too. Right?"

Wang Yan raised an eyebrow at Nan Xiang.

Nan Xiang glared at Wang Yan and refused to speak to him.

Of course Wang Yan was right. Nan Xiang absolutely didn't want to put herself in such an awkward situation; it was really embarrassing. She wouldn't be smug just because she was the one who started the fight.

Wang Yan seemed oblivious, taking a step forward, while Xi Cheng hurriedly retreated.

"Tsk, buddy, you're not so great either. Where did your swagger go? Hmm? You have to warn me not to think about her, not to talk to her, not to look at her. You have to show me what you're capable of. It's chilly here, and you're wearing a short-sleeved shirt, showing off your clumsy hand-stitched arm tattoo. You have to keep up the act."

Xi Cheng couldn't stand Wang Yan's sarcasm, but he didn't dare to continue the fight, so he stubbornly retorted, "Go ahead and kill me if you dare! Do you dare?"

Wang Yan made a move and took two more steps forward. Xi Cheng took a step back and then glared at Wang Yan with his neck stiff.

"Your legs are shaking, and you're still trying to hold on? Aren't you a complete idiot? In a society governed by law, it's not worth killing you."

Wang Yan shook his head, smoking a cigarette as he looked at Nan Xiang with a smile. "To be honest, your temperament, your face, your figure, you're really not a good match for him. It's a waste. He's a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong. He has no guts at all. I bet he's often angry with you. He might even slap you a couple of times."

"Don't worry about it."

"You think I care about you? I'm just venting. Look at this trash, he's not daring to say a word now, he's hiding behind you. Hiding isn't the problem, he's sticking his neck out, looking all defiant. You've seen the Young and Dangerous movies, right? You know Ugly Kun, right? He said if you're wrong, you have to admit it, and if you're going to get beaten, you have to stand up straight. Let me tell you, it's only because of the rule of law that he's been saved. I don't have any money to pay for this, otherwise I would have broken one of his legs today."

"Come on, if you dare!" Xi Cheng couldn't hold back any longer and blurted out.

Wang Yan raised his hand, and Xi Cheng instinctively shrank back in fright.

"Shut your mouth!" Wang Yan laughed and said to Nan Xiang, "What a waste."

Nan Xiang just glared at Wang Yan and ignored him.

Wang Yanyi lit another cigarette with a smug look on his face, and arrogantly flicked the cigarette butt at Xi Cheng, earning him angry glares from Xi Cheng and Nan Xiang, but they didn't say a word.

It was at this moment that the police arrived at the scene to handle the situation.

Xi Cheng started acting: "Officer, you have to help me! I didn't do anything! Look how badly he beat me! He has a black eye and a swollen face. He has to be severely punished..."

The police, of course, didn't close the case so easily. After briefly questioning both parties and the onlookers, and then reviewing the surveillance footage, they took the three away. Wang Yan went to the police station, while Xi Cheng and Nan Xiang went to the hospital because Xi Cheng insisted on getting a medical examination...

"Wow, you've got some training, huh? You got beaten up so badly, your face is all bruised and swollen, and you still call it a minor injury?"

Faced with the police officers' amazement, Wang Yan humbly replied, "I was just exercising. You've seen the surveillance footage; I was honestly smoking by the trash can when he came up to bother me. I was only acting in self-defense."

"Regardless, you two have already fought, so we still need to mediate and see what his side has to say. Determining self-defense isn't so easy..."

In the mediation room, Wang Yan rested his chin on his hand, listening boredly as the police explained to Xi Cheng and advised him to just let it go.

Xi Cheng was a hundred times unwilling: "He beat me so badly, he should at least pay me some money, right? He should pay for my medical expenses and compensation for my emotional distress, right? If he doesn't pay, then there's no way we can reach a settlement. I'd rather be detained with him."

"Great!"

Wang Yan clapped his hands and sighed, saying, "Officer, I'll accept whatever punishment you give me. I have only one request: let us be in the same room when we're detained so I can have a proper talk with him."

“Listen to this, officer, he’s threatening me.”

"Say less." The policeman glared at Wang Yan.

Wang Yan laughed: "It's nothing, so what if I'm detained? It's no big deal. You can't even settle today. I'll beat you up as soon as you step out of this door. Your medical examination will show minor injuries, and I'll be locked up for fifteen days at most. When I get out, I'll come looking for you again and beat you up again. Anyway, I'm all alone, so I don't care whether I live or die."

"Officer! Look at him..."

"Don't look at me. If you don't pay me for my hard work and for my emotional distress today, I won't settle with you."

Faced with Wang Yan's shameless behavior, the police had no choice but to separate him from the other party and reason with them separately.

The police were also very upset, because Wang Yan was right, and he had the ability to do it. He beat Xi Cheng eight times a day, and only suffered minor injuries. He had no parents or relatives, no family to rely on.

Therefore, the only advice the police could give Wang Yan was to focus on his studies, consider his bright future, and the happiness and fulfillment he would have after starting a family. They advised him not to stoop to the level of petty thugs and ruin his future.

They need to talk to Xi Cheng and Nan Xiang about Wang Yan's situation, asking them to have pity on Wang Yan, not to hold it against him, and for everyone to compromise and let the matter drop...

That was the end of it, of course. Even if Xi Cheng wanted to cause trouble again, Nan Xiang wouldn't allow it. So everyone signed the settlement agreement.

At the entrance of the police station, Wang Yan grinned at Nan Xiang: "I just found out we were classmates in the same school! Hope we meet again someday. Hey trash, say something!"

Xi Cheng snorted: "Don't think you're so great just because you can fight. If you dare to harass my girlfriend, I'll never forgive you."

"Oh, that's great! I'll harass you from now on. Let's see how you, you coward, manage to keep this up with me."

Wang Yan waved his hand, lit another cigarette, put it in his mouth, and strolled away...

“Nan Xiang…” Xi Cheng turned to look at Nan Xiang, opening his mouth as if to speak.

Nan Xiang rolled her eyes at him, waved for a taxi, got in with her tools, and went back to school.

"Grass!"

Xi Cheng cursed fiercely, then pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, gritting his teeth as he thought about how to get revenge...

Nan Xiang did not return to the school, but went to a large villa outside the school.

This is a house that Gu Li bought near the school, because it's convenient for her to rest and saves her the trouble of commuting. After all, Gu Li is rich and picky; she wouldn't be comfortable living in a university dormitory.

This also served as a place for the other three to stay, where they would occasionally stay for a while and have some fun together.

After putting her things down, and seeing that no one was home, Nanxiang called Lin Xiao to ask what was going on. She learned that they were enjoying the warm sunshine on the playground, so she rushed over.

"What's wrong with you? Why did you go to the police station?" Lin Xiao asked with concern.

"Yeah, yeah, did someone take advantage of you because of your looks? Tell me, and I'll go and crush their balls." Tang Wanru said fiercely.

Gu Li glanced over and snorted, "I bet it's that bastard Xi Cheng who caused trouble again. Nan Xiang went to pick him up, didn't she?"

Nan Xiang knew that Gu Li, who had been drugged and raped by Xi Cheng, hated him so much that she wanted to kill him, so she would never have a good word to say about him...

She sighed, "Don't even mention it. Today I was sketching in Huangpu Park, and there was a guy smoking not far from me, staring at me. Then Xi Cheng came looking for me, and you know Xi Cheng's temper, so he went up and warned the guy..."

Nan Xiang recounted the whole story, leaving the three women in awe.

"Is he really that powerful?" Tang Wanru was somewhat skeptical of Wang Yan's martial prowess.

Lin Xiao blinked her big eyes: "He's quite pitiful too, being alone for so many years..."

"Well done! That guy was right, Xi Cheng is just a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong, he deserved to be beaten!" Gu Li said, feeling a sense of satisfaction.

However, the three of them did not receive a response and all looked at Nan Xiang, only to see that Nan Xiang was looking into the distance.

"Nanxiang, what are you daydreaming about? Did you fall for that guy who beat up Xicheng?" Tang Wanru said with a big mouth and a laugh, "Yeah, that guy is better than Xicheng in every way."

“A hundred times!” Gu Li replied confidently.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Nan Xiang continued looking into the distance. "It's like what you're saying is coming true. That man walking this way is him..."

So all three women looked over at the same time...
