After being reborn, the school beauty's entire family knelt down to repent.

“But I’m warning you, stay away from that Zhao Rou from now on. She’s no good.” Yu Chengqing said seriously to Yu Chuang, clearly harboring a deep prejudice against Zhao Rou.

"You used to always tell me that Chen Ming was a spineless bastard who fawned over her, but look at yourself now, how are you any different from him before?"

Yu Chuang lowered his head, knowing in his heart that his father's words made sense.

Zhao Rou's personality is indeed somewhat unpredictable, and my previous assessment of Chen Ming now seems to have been too one-sided.

Although Yu Chuang wanted to refute, he chose to remain silent in front of his father.

"Dad, I understand. I will study hard and stop causing trouble," Yu Chuang earnestly promised his father.

Yu Chengqing nodded in satisfaction, knowing that his son had truly learned his lesson this time.

"Alright, let's go," Yu Chengqing said.

Yu Chuang got into the car with Yu Chengqing, but in his heart he was thinking about how to get revenge on Chen Ming later.

The next morning.

school.

Chen Ming arrived at the classroom early as always.

"Chen Ming, have you heard? Yu Chuang is coming back today," Li Yu whispered to Chen Ming, a hint of worry in his eyes.

Chen Ming smiled slightly and calmly replied, "I know, so what?"

"I'm worried he'll cause you trouble. Let's walk home together after school tonight," Li Yu said worriedly.

"Oh, it's nothing. Why are you bothering me? I think he's had enough of being inside and wants to go back," Chen Ming said with a smile.

"However, you should also be careful. Yu Chuang is vengeful, so we need to be wary of him." Li Yu was still somewhat uneasy.

"Yes, I will be careful." Chen Ming nodded. He knew that Yu Chuang would not let this go after suffering a loss this time.

"By the way, Chen Ming, didn't you mention the fishpond? How's it going?" Li Yu changed the subject.

"Don't worry, I've already discussed it with my dad. You can come help out at my fishpond in a few days, and I'll give you twenty-five yuan a month."

"Salary," Chen Ming replied with a smile.

"Twenty-five yuan? Isn't that a bit too much?" Li Yu said quickly after hearing this.

Keep in mind that at that time, twenty-five yuan was enough for an ordinary worker to earn half a month's wages.

"It's not much, and my dad said that we don't need to pay back the money from before. He used his connections to get into a hospital in the city, which might be helpful for your dad's treatment. Don't worry, the treatment costs will be deducted from your salary."

Upon hearing this, Li Yu's eyes welled up with tears.

"Chen Ming, I... I don't know how to thank you." Li Yu's voice was choked with emotion.

"Don't do that, it's only right," Chen Ming replied casually, as if it were all perfectly natural.

"Yes, I will definitely live up to your expectations," Li Yu said firmly.

"By the way, how's your dad's condition lately?" Chen Ming asked with concern.

"The doctor said my condition has improved, thanks to your help. I'm really grateful," Li Yu said thankfully.

"That's good. Your dad's health is the most important thing. Don't hesitate to ask if you need any help." Chen Ming patted Li Yu on the shoulder.

“Okay, I’ve got it.” Li Yu nodded in response.

As the two were chatting, the school bell rang, and they quickly returned to their seats.

However, Yu Chuang was nowhere to be found, and it was unclear whether he had taken leave or not.

Meanwhile, at an internet cafe in town.

Yu Chuang pushed open the door, entered the internet cafe, and began looking around.

He seemed to be looking for something, or rather, someone.

Yu Chuang's gaze finally settled on a computer in the corner.

"Brother Long." Yu Chuang walked to the computer in the corner and said to the man sitting in front of it.

The man known as Brother Long was burly, with short hair, and had a somewhat江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the underworld or gangster world) vibe.

He turned his head and sharply scrutinized Yu Chuang.

"Yu Chuang? You brat, when did you get out?" Brother Long asked, frowning.

Yu Chuang lowered his head, his voice tinged with resentment: "Don't even mention it, I was locked up for seven days and only got out yesterday."

Upon hearing this, Brother Long revealed a cold smile: "Hmph, you asked for this. You didn't ask me for help with such a big thing. How could you expect to avoid problems if you did it all by yourself?"

"Brother Long, I was wrong. I was too impulsive this time." Yu Chuang lowered his head and sincerely admitted his mistake.

Brother Long looked at Yu Chuang, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

"Forget it, now that you're out, don't dwell on those unpleasant things. Did you come to see me because you need something?" Brother Long's tone softened.

Yu Chuang raised his head, a sly glint in his eyes: "Brother Long, I've come here to ask for your help."

Brother Long raised an eyebrow, signaling Yu Chuang to continue.

"I want you to teach someone a lesson." Yu Chuang's voice carried a hint of ruthlessness.

Upon hearing this, Brother Long revealed a playful smile: "Chen Ming?"

Yu Chuang nodded, a flash of anger in his eyes: "That's right, it's him."

Brother Long pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Teaching Chen Ming a lesson is no simple matter. He's been riding high lately, so we can't easily mess with him."

Upon hearing this, Yu Chuang said anxiously, "Brother Long, I know you have a way. As long as you can help me, I'll cover my internet bill for this month."

Brother Long smiled, a sly glint in his eyes: "You said it yourself."

Yu Chuang nodded: "Don't worry, Brother Long, I keep my word."

Brother Long stood up, walked over to Yu Chuang, and patted him on the shoulder: "You should have done this earlier. You had to show off. This kind of thing should be left to professionals. Tell me, how far do you want him to go?"

Yu Chuang gritted his teeth, a ruthless glint in his eyes: "It would be good if we could break his hand."

Brother Long smiled slightly, seemingly satisfied with Yu Chuang's reaction: "Alright, since you put it that way, I'll help you with this."

“However, Brother Long, I have a condition,” Yu Chuang suddenly added.

Brother Long raised an eyebrow, signaling Yu Chuang to continue.

"I don't want Chen Ming to know that I was behind this. I don't want to cause any more trouble." Yu Chuang's voice carried a hint of caution.

Brother Long nodded, indicating his understanding: "Don't worry, I always do things cleanly and efficiently, leaving no trace."

Upon hearing this, Yu Chuang finally felt relieved, knowing that he had found the right person.

"Alright, Brother Long, I'll leave this to you." After saying that, Yu Chuang took out a wad of cash from his pocket and handed it to Brother Long.

Brother Long took the money, counted it, and nodded in satisfaction: "Don't worry, leave this to me."

Yu Chuang nodded, turned and left the internet cafe, secretly pleased with himself, as if he could already see Chen Ming's unfortunate fate.

After resolving the matter here, Yu Chuang left the internet cafe and returned to school.

Back at school, during lunch break, Yu Chuang went straight to Zhao Rou and whispered a few words in her ear, though it was unclear what he said.
