"Then what do we do?"
"When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it." Liu Wenhao said calmly, "Since he wants to play, then let's play along."
The following afternoon, Li Hao took the initiative to find Liu Wenhao.
"Wenhao, I want to discuss something with you." Li Hao's expression was somewhat unnatural.
"What is it?" Liu Wenhao pretended to be unaware.
“Business at the school hasn’t been very good lately, and I think we need to expand,” Li Hao said tentatively.
How to expand?
“I contacted some friends who can offer help,” Li Hao said, “but I need to share some of the profits with them.”
"What friend?" Liu Wenhao asked knowingly.
“They’re from vocational schools,” Li Hao finally told the truth. “They have experience and skills.”
Liu Wenhao pretended to consider it: "This is a good idea, but I need to meet with them."
"Of course." Li Hao breathed a sigh of relief. "How about tonight?"
"Okay," Liu Wenhao agreed.
At 7 p.m., Liu Wenhao arrived at the abandoned factory behind the school as agreed.
Li Hao was already waiting there, surrounded by four or five unfamiliar faces.
"This is Liu Wenhao," Li Hao introduced to the group. "He's the best fighter from No. 2 Middle School right now."
The leader was a bald, burly man with tattoos on his arms; he was clearly not a good guy.
"I heard you're pretty good?" The bald man sized up Liu Wenhao. "Even Chen Gang isn't your match?"
"It's alright," Liu Wenhao said casually.
"My name is Scarface, the top dog at the vocational school," the bald man introduced himself. "Li Hao said he wants to cooperate with us. How?"
“It’s very simple,” Li Hao answered quickly. “You provide the manpower, we provide the territory, and we split the profits equally.”
Scarface nodded. "Sounds good. But I have a question."
"What questions?"
"Who's in charge now?" Scarface's gaze shifted between Liu Wenhao and Li Hao. "Is it you or him?"
Li Hao was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Liu Wenhao: "Of course, it's Brother Wenhao's decision."
"Really?" Scarface chuckled. "So, Liu Wenhao, what do you think of this collaboration?"
Liu Wenhao was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "Not very good."
Everyone was stunned.
"What do you mean?" Scarface's face darkened.
“What I mean is, I don’t need cooperation,” Liu Wenhao said. “I can handle the No. 2 Middle School matter on my own.”
"You..." Li Hao panicked a little, "Wenhao, what are you saying?"
“I’m telling the truth.” Liu Wenhao looked at him. “Li Hao, do you think I don’t know what you’re up to?”
Chapter 1157 Boss!
Li Hao's expression changed: "What do you mean?"
“What I mean is, you want to usurp the throne,” Liu Wenhao bluntly stated. “You’ve colluded with outsiders, bribed teachers, and are trying to bring me down step by step.”
"You're talking nonsense!" Li Hao hurriedly denied.
"Nonsense?" Liu Wenhao took out the photos Zhao Mingxuan had given him. "What are these?"
Upon seeing the photo, Li Hao's expression completely changed.
"Now that we've laid our cards on the table, I'm not pretending anymore." Li Hao dropped his pretense. "That's right, I want to kill you! You think you're so great? In this school, I'm the boss!"
"Is that so?" Liu Wenhao sneered. "Then let's see who the real boss is."
Seeing the two men on the verge of exchanging blows, Scarface suddenly laughed: "Interesting. Looks like we're in for a good show today."
“Scarface, according to our agreement…” Li Hao wanted to seek support.
“An agreement?” Scarface interrupted him. “What agreement? I only recognize the strong. Whoever wins, I will cooperate with.”
Li Hao's expression turned even uglier.
He didn't expect these people to be so pragmatic.
"Let's do it then." Liu Wenhao stretched his limbs. "Li Hao, how do you plan to resolve this?"
"One-on-one," Li Hao said through gritted teeth. "Whoever wins is the boss."
"Okay," Liu Wenhao agreed.
The two men took their stances in the open space.
Although Li Hao is not as good at fighting as Liu Wenhao, he is not without martial arts skills.
Moreover, he had clearly undergone special training during this period.
However, the result was still a foregone conclusion.
Ten minutes later, Li Hao lay on the ground.
"Who's in charge now?" Liu Wenhao asked.
Li Hao clutched his stomach, unable to speak from the pain.
"I give up." He finally admitted defeat.
Scarface clapped his hands: "Brilliant! No wonder you can defeat Chen Gang."
"So, does our cooperation still count?" Liu Wenhao asked him.
“Of course it counts,” Scarface laughed. “But the terms need to be renegotiated.”
"What conditions?"
“It used to be split evenly, now it’s 20/80,” Scarface said. “I get 20%, you get 80%.
Liu Wenhao shook his head: "No need."
"What?" Scarface was stunned.
“I told you I don’t need cooperation,” Liu Wenhao repeated. “I can handle the Second Middle School matter myself.”
Scarface's face darkened: "Kid, are you looking down on us?"
"It's not that I look down on you, it's that I don't need you," Liu Wenhao said calmly. "You can leave now."
"Leave?" Scarface sneered. "Do you think this is your home? You think you can just walk away like that?"
Liu Wenhao understood; these people wanted to take it by force.
"Then there's nothing more to say." Liu Wenhao prepared for battle.
Just then, Zhao Mingxuan appeared with a group of people.
"Liu Wenhao, are you alright?" Zhao Mingxuan asked with concern.
Liu Wenhao looked at the people he brought; they were all classmates from school, but they all seemed to be very good fighters.
"Why are you here?" Liu Wenhao asked.
“I was worried you’d get taken advantage of.” Zhao Mingxuan pushed up his glasses. “Looks like my worries were justified.”
Scarface looked at the group of people who had suddenly appeared, his expression turning grim: "What do you want?"
"Nothing much, we just wanted to protect our friends," Zhao Mingxuan said with a smile. "You guys are from another school, right? What are you doing here?"
"What's it to you?" Scarface retorted angrily.
“Of course it’s my business.” Zhao Mingxuan took out his phone. “I’ve already called the police, and I believe they’ll be here soon.”
Sure enough, the sound of police sirens could be heard in the distance.
Chapter 1158 is different!
Scarface's expression changed drastically: "Kid, you just wait!"
After saying that, he led his men away in a sorry state.
Li Hao wanted to run after them, but was stopped by several classmates.
“Li Hao, we need to have a serious talk.” Liu Wenhao walked up to him.
"What do you want?" Li Hao asked, somewhat desperately.
“It’s simple,” Liu Wenhao said. “From today onwards, you are my subordinate. If you obey, everything that happened before will be forgiven. If you disobey…”
He didn't finish his sentence, but the threat was obvious.
Li Hao knew he had no choice: "I'll obey."
“Very good.” Liu Wenhao nodded in satisfaction. “Then starting tomorrow, you will be in charge of all affairs of the first year of high school, but major decisions must be approved by me.”
"Understood." Li Hao lowered his head.
Watching this scene, Zhao Mingxuan secretly admired him. Liu Wenhao not only possessed martial prowess, but more importantly, he had the aura of a ruler. He knew when to fight and when to back down.
"Let's go, it's time to go back," Liu Wenhao said to everyone.
Back at school, Zhao Mingxuan pulled Liu Wenhao aside: "Why didn't you accept Scarface's offer earlier? The 20/80 split was already very generous."
“Because it’s unnecessary,” Liu Wenhao said. “Besides, this kind of cooperation will inevitably run into problems sooner or later.”
"why?"
“Because they are outsiders,” Liu Wenhao explained. “Once you accept their help, it’s like giving up part of the school’s control. It will be very difficult to get rid of them later.”
Zhao Mingxuan nodded; he understood Liu Wenhao's concerns.
"So what do we do next?" Zhao Mingxuan asked. "Scarface and his gang won't let this go."
"We'll meet force with force and water with earth," Liu Wenhao said calmly. "Besides, we're not unprepared."
"What preparation?"
Liu Wenhao smiled mysteriously: "You'll find out soon enough."
The next day, news spread throughout the school: Liu Wenhao officially became the leader of the first-year high school class, and Li Hao voluntarily stepped down to make way for him.
This news surprised many, but even more people admired it. The fact that Liu Wenhao could make Li Hao willingly admit defeat speaks volumes about his strength.
However, Liu Wenhao knew that the real challenge was yet to come. Scarface and his gang wouldn't give up easily, and the school wouldn't stand idly by.
Sure enough, Chen Gang came to find him in the afternoon.
"I heard it was quite lively last night?" Chen Gang's tone was calm, but Liu Wenhao could sense the threat in it.
"fine.
Liu Wenhao's eyes changed.
It was no longer a fight to prove oneself, but a determination to protect those around them.
Chen Gang keenly sensed this change, and his attack rhythm faltered slightly.
Liu Wenhao seized upon that fleeting opening.
An uppercut struck Chen Gang's jaw, followed by an elbow strike and a knee strike—a series of fluid and seamless punches.
Chen Gang staggered backward, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
"Impossible!" a student exclaimed.
The stadium was completely silent; everyone held their breath.
The dean of students was actually injured by a student?
Chen Gang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes: "Good lad, truly a promising young man."
"Are you admitting defeat?" Liu Wenhao asked.
