The Villain's Face Slapping Counterattack

Chapter 71

Face-Slapping the reborn CEO (6)

Editor: ghost

Zhou Xu followed Zhou Xueli into an alley. The alley was framed by the backs of tall buildings. And for some unknown reason, there was a black net on the second floor of these two buildings.

There was no road ahead of the alley–it was blocked by a wall. So this alley was actually a dead corner of the city. The alley was dirty and smelly, there were all kinds of garbages littering the street. At a glance, Zhou Xu also saw several big rats rushing into the sewer entrance.

Without the need to think too much, Zhou Xu had a guess of what was happening. However, what Zhou Xu thought was that Zhou Xueli wanted to give him a beating. After seeing the school’s beauty, he understood that what Zhou Xueli wanted to do was way more serious than that.

Turning his head, Zhou Xu looked at Zhou Xueli’s slightly frightened expression. No wonder Zhou Xu didn’t feel any danger, it turned out that Zhou Xueli himself was scared. Still creating trouble when he was so cowardly, he was really seeking death.

The school beauty had already lost consciousness and was lying on the dirty roadside. At this moment, there was only Zhou Xu and Zhou Xueli in the alley. Without the slightest hesitation, Zhou Xu turned back to give a whirlwind kick.

Zhou Xueli, who was still frightened, fell down with a kathump.

“What are you doing?!”

The shrill voice of a female sounded. Zhou Xu looked at the entrance of the alley and discovered that the girl was none other than Wen Chan.

Wen Chan ran to Zhou Xueli’s side, hugged his head, and anxiously asked, “Xueli, Xueli, are you ok?”

Zhou Xueli’s mind was muddled and he really realized what it meant to see stars. Trying to sober up, Zhou Xueli said, “Xiao Chan, I... I’m okay. ”

After answering, Zhou Xueli borrowed Wen Chan’s arm to slowly stand up. Only, he was still a little muddle-headed. Zhou Xu’s kick had caused a small concussion.

After Zhou Xueli stood up, a group of gangsters appeared at the alley entrance. Seeing them coming, Zhou Xueli was slightly comforted. He looked towards Zhou Xu and said, “Zhou Xu, you’re certainly dead.”

Zhou Xu glanced at the gangsters, then answered Zhou Xueli with contempt, “That’s still uncertain.”

After Zhou Xu finished talking, the group of gangsters had already arrived.

“Woah, Wen Chan, is the one lying there the one you’re giving us brothers to have fun with? She’s really too beautiful, shouldn’t she be your school’s beauty? Oh, right, your school’s beauty, it seems like she’s the CEO of a certain company. Hahaha, this time we really made a profit.” The leader of this group of gangsters was precisely the person that chased after Wen Chan for a long time. His whole person oozed obscenity, even his face acne was so disgusting that it made people that looked at it want to throw up.

Wen Chan continued to support Zhou Xueli. She also didn’t want for the gangster to speak too much, so directly ordered, “Yes, she is our school’s beauty. This person is the one you have to dispose of. Hurry up and beat him.”

Wen Chan indicated Zhou Xu, her face full of anger.

The gang leader laughed like a ruffian and circled around Zhou Xu, holding his own chin. He laughed for half a day before saying, “Even though I don’t like to enter by the black door, I’ll make an exception this time because you look like this. Hahaha, brothers, what do you think?”

The other gangsters also started to laugh, each look more perverted than the next, and their comments cruder too.

Zhou Xu stood arrogantly the entire time as he rapidly calculated how to beat a dozen people by himself.

It seemed that he really needed to use the knife, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to escape.

Zhou Xu’s line of sight locked onto the body of a dark-skinned, thin gangster– that person was holding a machete.

After choosing the target, Zhou Xu prepared himself for action. However at the time he wanted to move, the gang leader from the start unexpectedly reached out his hand and touched Zhou Xu’s bottom. This throughly enraged Zhou Xu and as a result, Zhou Xu threw out his fist.

That person’s head was hit so hard that it turned. At the same time, two of his teeth fell. His mouth was full of blood.

Just like that, the melee started.

Because what was agreed upon at the start was for them to teach just one person a lesson, they never thought that this person would be so strong. That was why the majority came empty handed, preparing to beat that person bare handedly, except for the dark-skinned, thin man who was holding the machete. However, in the blink of an eye, the man’s machete was already in Zhou Xu’s hand.

The group of gangsters looked at each other in dismay. Preparing to go again, they surrounded Zhou Xu. Some of them took out the small dagger they carried on them, the kind that was put on a keychain–a really small knife. In front of Zhou Xu’s machete, it really paled in comparison.

Zhou Xu was incomparably calm and collected while being surrounded. Using the back of the machete, he lightly tapped the palm of his hand, as if estimating the weight of the weapon. He then pointed the machete toward the gang leader with satisfaction.

The leader was already hurt. He was at the back of the pack and didn’t advance. However, Zhou Xu’s glare was excessively ruthless, similar to a lion prepared to attack at any time while he was Zhou Xu’s prey.

This feeling gave him cold sweat on the back. With a low voice, he said, “Let’s go together.”

The group of people went together, as if the machete in Zhou Xu’s hand was not a machete, but a sword that cut iron like mud, even the action of cutting people seemed to be like flowing water, without any hesitation.

Several minutes later, all the gangsters were lying on the ground. Zhou Xu was the only one standing, it was as if the whole world was dirty except Zhou Xu.

Wen Chan and Zhou Xueli who were on the side also blanked, both of them didn’t think that Zhou Xu was so strong. Zhou Xueli also didn’t know that Zhou Xu could use swords, he even doubted that his own memory had problems. The Zhou Xu in his previous life was absolutely not so strong.

Stepping over the gangsters, Zhou Xu walked in front of Wen Chan and Zhou Xueli and said placidly, “Since you are immoral, then don’t blame me for being heartless.”

Zhou Xueli thought that Zhou Xu wanted to hurt them, that was why he put Wen Chan behind him to shield her and shouted, “If you want to hit someone, then hit me. This has no relationship to Wen Chan at all.”

“Really?” Zhou Xu asked.

Zhou Xueli shielded Wen Chan, not letting her come out. He braced himself to answer, “Yes, it was me who looked for these people, it was me who wanted to scheme against you, to have you take the charge of raping the school beauty. You let Wen Chan go.”

Very satisfied with Zhou Xueli’s answer, Zhou Xu removed his necklace and slightly adjusted it. Zhou Xueli could hear Zhou Xu’s recording coming from there.

“Yes, it was me who looked for these people, it was me who wanted to scheme against you...”

Zhou Xueli looked in astonishment at Zhou Xu. He was so angry that his lips were trembling, “You, you are despicable. You were actually recording.”

Zhou Xu shook his head before saying, “You’re wrong, this is not recording (sound), but filming.”

Zhou Xueli and Wen Chan couldn’t utter a sound because if Zhou Xu were to send out this video, then they were both finished, thoroughly finished.

Finally Zhou Xueli lowered his head, while Zhou Xu was playing with the necklace in his hand as if it was nothing.

“I was wrong, sorry. Zhou Xu, if it was me, then there is no problem, but there is also Wen Chan. She’s only a girl. Can you be a little forgiving? If this video really saw the light, then she and I are both finished. Zhou Xu, our grudges are between us, could you not implicate Wen Chan?” Zhou Xueli spoke very sincerely. He didn’t move Zhou Xu, but he moved Wen Chan who was still behind him.

“Xueli, thank you for thinking so much about me. However it doesn’t matter, if he wants to expose it, then let him do it. I have money in my hand, my mother left a lot for me. Even if we didn’t do anything, it is enough for us to use. We can leave here, we can look for a village to live. Xueli, so long as we are together, no matter where it is, no matter what we do, I’m always willing.” Wen Chan also said it very earnestly.

Zhou Xueli turned his head to look at her and said with a small voice, “Don’t make a fuss. I don’t care what happens to me, but I will absolutely not let your reputation be damaged.”

Wen Chan looked at Zhou Xueli with tears in her eyes and nodded without uttering a sound. However, in her heart, she had already been moved into a total mess. It was the first time she met someone who valued her so much. She thought, if it was for Zhou Xueli, she was willing to do anything.

Zhou Xu was not listening to their talk and said, “Go take the school beauty back, then we’ll discuss the other matter.”

“You have to first promise me you won’t publish the video.”

Zhou Xu answered coldly, “You don’t have the capital to negotiate with me, Zhou Xueli.”

Zhou Xueli clenched his fists and bore with the humiliation and his anger. He went to carry the school beauty, preparing to take her back.

In reality, Zhou Xueli also knew that the school beauty was completely innocent in this matter. Nevertheless, Wen Chan wanted to find someone to be the victim, he couldn’t let Wen Chan bear it alone. That was why he could only step back, not thinking about the problem of the victim because he really liked Wen Chan.

There was nobody to tell him how disgusting this way of thinking was and there was also nobody to tell Wen Chan how big a mistake her way of doing things was. In this way, they stubbornly continued to do something they knew was wrong, but didn’t know how wrong it was.

Wen Chan followed behind Zhou Xueli, tears dropping one by one. She originally wanted to help Zhou Xueli. She didn’t think that it would end like this.

Before they could take a few steps, they heard a clamor and a foul-mouthed swearing.

Zhou Xu blanked internally, he knew that this time it was bad. Those people obviously had malicious intent and Zhou Xu’s instincts felt danger.

Sure enough, three seconds later, a group of gangsters appeared in the entrance of the alley. This group of people were holding weapons in their hands, and their number was absolutely greater than twenty.

A tall and burly man stood in front. After he arrived, he shouted with a resounding voice, “Ah Gang, what happened, tsk, who beat you in such a way?”

The one being called Ah Gang was precisely the gang leader at the beginning. He had deliberately laid on the ground just a moment ago to prevent Zhou Xu from hurting him once again. However, seeing his current support, he didn’t need to pretend anymore.

Ah Gang rapidly stood up and said, “Brother Hu(Tiger), it was that fellow who beat us. Brother Hu, you should be careful, that fellow is not ordinary.”

“Tsk, what are you saying, it was he alone that hurt the lot of you? What are you eating for? Stupid, you still have the face to call me. Tsk, you have made Lao Zi lose face.”

While talking, the burly man punched Ah Gang. These punches were not light at all, because after Ah Gang was beaten, he vomited some blood.

Ah Gang once again went to try to curry favor and said, “Brother Hu, we are indeed incapable, but Brother Hu, you can’t watch us, your little brothers, being bullied like this, could you? You see, these people, a lot of them are new members, where would they get this experience of being beaten. Moreover, we thought it was only beating one person, we didn’t think that this person would have a machete in hand. Brother Hu, you have to take revenge for us.”

Brother Hu looked at Zhou Xu, then looked at the several people behind him and asked, “What happened to the people behind me?”

Ah Gang hurriedly explained, after he finished talking, he also added, “Brother Hu, that little girl is also not a good thing. I chased for a long time before, but she didn’t accept. If you like her, then we will guard the alley entrance and let you have a round, what do you think?”

Following what Ah Gang was saying, Brother Hu looked at Wen Chan. Wen Chan hurriedly lowered her head. At this moment, Zhou Xueli already put down the school beauty and put Wen Chan behind his back once again.

Only to hear Brother Hu say, “Hahaha, okay. The little girl looked pretty well-behaved, I liked this kind. Okay, looking at how you thought about me, I’ll help avenge you. Brothers, take your weapons, let’s go.”

Zhou Xu turned his head to glance at Zhou Xueli and remarked casually, “If you are a man, go in. Don’t hide in the back, you almost pushed Wen Chan into the corner.”

Zhou Xueli looked back to see Wen Chan and discovered that he had indeed kept retreating. However, the group of people in front were obviously different from the previous gangsters–each one seemed to be trained. Each of them had fiercer eyes than the previous one. Because Zhou Xueli was frightened, his heartbeat raced and his face flushed. After hearing Zhou Xu’s words, he looked back at the group of people rushing forward with their weapons. In the end, he could only feel his legs lose strength. He held his head and squatted down.

Wen Chan also followed and squatted down. Both people stayed in the corner just like this and did nothing.

The machete in Zhou Xu’s hand had already been brandished, but there were a lot of people on the opposite side. No matter how strong Zhou Xu was, he was not the opponent of this many people.

A baseball bat hit Zhou Xu’s back, it was unbearably painful.

His eyes were filled with tears in an instant. He hated pain, really really hated pain.

Zhou Xu gritted his teeth, his machete already didn’t have any restraint. Before, Zhou Xu was using the back of the machete to fight, but now he could only use the knife blade to fight.

Blood was splashing everywhere, the white school uniform was already dyed in blood. The opposite side also began to go crazy. In an instant, the situation became so severe that it was a situation where only one side could live.

Shouting and wailing sounds filled this small alley.

Suddenly, a shadow joined in. With one flying kick, he kicked a hoodlum who was chopping at Zhou Xu with a knife to the ground. He then picked up that person’s knife.

Nie Yuantong was back to back with Zhou Xu and said, “Oh, why didn’t you call me for such an amusing thing?”

Laughing a little, Zhou Xu answered, “Even without calling you, didn’t you still come?”

“Hahaha, since it is like this, then — go!”

The two figures rushed to the opposing side like flying swallows. Both were paying attention to the other’s back, their tacit understanding was as if they had known each other for several thousands of years.

Zhou Xueli and Wen Chan slowly raised their head, “School principal?”

At the entrance of the alley, Weng Cheng looked at the fighting crowd anxiously, and then looked in the other direction nervously, “Why hasn’t the police arrived yet? Why is it so slow? Zhou Xu, please don’t have any accidents...”

Minutes passed, Zhou Xu and Nie Yuantong looked like they could not be stopped. Both people had already become one with the knife in their hands. Wherever the knife went, a person was hurt for trying to block it.

The reeking smell of the blood was starting to spread. Wen Chan was starting to feel nauseous, however she didn’t have any way to come out, she could only wait.

The gangsters were starting to be in a weaker position, all of them didn’t think that what Ah Gang said was really true, that Zhou Xu was really strong. What they didn’t expect was that in between a person joined in, and that person was unexpectedly stronger than Zhou Xu.

Their dominance slowly transformed into a weaker state. The one being called Brother Hu wanted to escape, but after only taking a few steps, he discovered that the alley was already surrounded by police cars.

After the police arrived at the scene, everybody dropped their weapons. Zhou Xu and Nie Yuantong also dropped the machete in their hands. Looking at each other, they exchanged comforting smiles.

The performance came to a stop just like that. The school beauty had already woken up. The confused girl only knew that she had been called out by Wen Chan and had lost consciousness after arriving at this alley.

Because of the sound of the police cars, a lot of passer-bys gathered there to look at what was happening. However, what they could see was only the puddles of blood on the ground because the policemen had rapidly taken away everyone present on the scene.

Actually, this matter was really thanks to Weng Cheng. After she saw Zhou Xueli’s expression at noon, no matter how she thought about it, she felt it was strange. That was why she paid a lot of attention to him in the afternoon.

After she saw Zhou Xu and Zhou Xueli leave together, she really felt it was strange because those two were truly archenemies at school. Thus, she followed them quietly until they arrived at the alley.

After seeing what happened afterwards, she immediately went to look for the school principal. The school principal also hurriedly came. At the same time, they called the police. This was also the reason why the school principal joined in halfway, and also why the police arrived so fast.

Zhou Xu thought in his heart, this could be counted as Weng Cheng saving his life. Unfortunately, he was not straight.

After reporting, Zhou Xu exited the police station. After walking out, he saw that there was somebody leaning outside the door. This person was precisely Nie Yuantong.

“Did you think of me?” Nie Yuantong asked.

Zhou Xu looked at the sky, who would ask a person who just left a police station “Did you think of me”. Probably, there was only his lover.

“Didn’t have time to.” Zhou Xu answered while walking forwards.

Nie Yuantong followed and put his chin on Zhou Xu’s shoulder, “However, I kept thinking about you.”

“It was hard for you.”

Nie Yuantong was at a loss for words. Zhou Xu turned around to look at him, there was suddenly an indescribable feeling in his heart. In this world, his mother was dead, his father did not care about him at all. In fact, it was not the original owner’s fault that he developed that kind of character.

However, he currently had Nie Yuantong; this person would be the same in all the previous worlds, he would give him warmth and comfort.

Their stomachs growled. It was already 10 in the evening, Zhou Xu and Nie Yuantong hadn’t eaten since noon, they were both hungry.

“Let’s go eat something, I’m hungry.” Zhou Xu suggested.

“Let’s eat pizza, okay? I suddenly really want to eat Italian foods.” Nie Yuantong answered.

“Okay, I don’t care.”

The two people left side by side. It was only at the dinner table that Zhou Xu learned about Weng Cheng’s matter. He also learned that Nie Yuantong, as the school principal, could not let Zhou Xueli and Wen Chan go.

After he explained everything, Nie Yuantong said in the end, “What I ought to say, I said it all. It’s your turn to talk about the matter of Weng Cheng secretly loving you.”

Zhou Xu, “...”

Several days later, Zhou Qiang who learned about this matter finally became angry. He found people and used his contacts. In the end, he succeeded in bailing out Zhou Xueli and Wen Chan. His purpose for bailing them out was to punish Zhou Xueli.

A few days later, when Zhou Xu went home, he saw a badly battered Zhou Xueli with crutches. At this time, Zhou Xueli only lowered his head, he did not dare to say anything.

After Wen Chan was bailed out, she was also locked up by Wen Zhuyao.

As Zhou Xueli walked a little limply, Wen Chan was sent abroad.

After Zhou Xueli went back to school, it was already one month later. He could not meet Wen Chan again.

At the same time, Zhou Xueli was already known for the matter of the school beauty by the whole school. Zhou Xueli didn’t understand why after being reborn, why his life was still so useless. He obviously already changed, so why couldn’t he win against Zhou Xu?

Zhou Xu and Ke Tur started to prepare for the film competition. Before the end of his freshman year, they finally finished the film.

After they were finished, Zhou Xu broadcasted the film for Zhou Qiang during mealtime.

In the video, Ke Tur was still as fresh and pure like water as before. She and several other girls were walking on the school stone path. When she looked back, she looked like a fairy.

Zhou Qiang once again remembered her qualities, as well as his previous affection; he really liked Ke Tur.

That night, Zhou Qiang didn’t go to his lover’s house. Instead, he and Ke Tur had what he considered a ‘heart to heart’ talk, he asked Ke Tur why she wanted to act.

In the end, Zhou Qiang didn’t agree for Ke Tur to go back to show business, but Ke Tur also raised a request, “I don’t want to keep staying at home. I can’t endure it anymore. Let me follow you, let me be your secretary.”

This time, Zhou Qiang looked at Ke Tur’s reddened eyes, “Okay, you can follow me everyday in the future.”

“Okay.”

In the corridor of the second floor, Zhou Xu and Ke Tur met; Zhou Xu used his eyes to inquire about the result. Ke Tur slightly smiled, used her hand to form an OK sign.

Zhou Xu nodded, that was great. He would soon enter Zhou Qiang’s company. Ke Tur’s assistance was simply the icing on the cake.

T/N : I’m sorry for the late update. I didn’t finish the first part for last week and decided to update the full chapter. é_è

Are Zhou Xueli and Wen Chan toddlers? Can’t they think for themselves? Do they need people to tell them “What you’re doing is wrong, stop.”... :facepalm:

Weng Cheng is a real lifesaver, I really hope she finds someone who loves her!
