It took a while for Gao Huiyu to come to her senses. She shouted, "Let go of me, you bitch! Did you hear me? I told you to let go!" Ying ignored Gao Huiyu's shouting, pulled her out of the teaching building, then let go of her hand and stood silently to one side.

 

Xie Wendong secretly thought it was bad and ran out after them, feeling at a loss as to what to do. Gao Huiyu looked at Xie Wendong with tears in her eyes and couldn't say anything for a long time. The grievance in her heart was beyond words.

 

Xie Wendong sighed and took Gao Huiyu's hand, saying, "Xiaoyu, listen to me. It's not what you think! She..."

 

Before Xie Wendong could finish, Gao Huiyu forcefully shook off his hand, looked at Xie Wendong and shouted, "Xie Wendong, you're really something! Remember what happened today!" After that, she wiped her tears, covered her mouth and ran towards the school gate.

 

Xie Wendong felt a pang of sadness in his heart. How could he let her leave? He ran a few steps and hugged Gao Huiyu, saying, "Xiaoyu, there's nothing between us. You're thinking too much. Don't be so unreasonable, okay?"

 

Unreasonable? Xie Wendong's words made Gao Huiyu feel even more sad. She choked and said, "Fine, I'm being unreasonable. I'm in your way. From today on, we have no relationship at all! You can have a good time with that bitch in the future!"

 

"You... you..." Xie Wendong couldn't understand what was wrong with Gao Huiyu today. Usually, even though Xiaoyu was a bit childish, she wouldn't be so unreasonable! Xie Wendong was illiterate when it came to relationships and knew even less about girls' thoughts. He was full of disappointment towards Gao Huiyu's lack of trust in him. But he didn't know what women couldn't stand the most!

 

Ying walked over and said to Gao Huiyu indifferently, "I think you've misunderstood the relationship between me and Brother Dong. I'm just his bodyguard!"

 

Gao Huiyu, who was blinded by jealousy, wouldn't believe Ying's words. Instead, she thought the other party was demonstrating to her. Without thinking, she swung her hand to slap Ying's face. Ying didn't dodge. She quickly grabbed Gao Huiyu's wrist and said in a cold voice, "You'd better watch your behavior. I don't care who you are. Don't do it again, or I won't be polite to you!" After that, she let go of her hand and stared at Gao Huiyu with a cold gaze.

 

Gao Huiyu shivered involuntarily and looked at Xie Wendong. The latter stood there without making any move. He also thought that Xiaoyu had gone too far, and it might not be a bad thing for Ying to give her a small lesson. Seeing that Xie Wendong didn't react at all, Gao Huiyu couldn't hold back her tears and they streamed down again. She felt cold and painful in her heart, as if it had just thawed, or as if she had been stabbed hard.

 

Gao Huiyu looked at the two of them and slowly stepped back. A sense of helplessness welled up in her. At this moment, a young man ran over from the school gate. He was about 1.80 meters tall, with fair skin, a gentle appearance, and glasses.

 

He came up behind Gao Huiyu, put his hand on her shoulder, and asked softly, "Xiaoyu, what's wrong?"

 

Gao Huiyu turned around when she heard the voice. Seeing the person behind her, she didn't say anything and threw herself into his arms and burst into tears. A hint of surprise flashed in the man's eyes, and he put his arm around the girl he had long admired.

 

Xie Wendong saw all this and felt as if his heart was on fire. Gao Huiyu had actually thrown herself into someone else's arms!? The fingers of his clenched fist turned white. He let out a long breath, suppressed the impulse to kill, and walked over slowly, saying coldly, "If you want to stay alive, let go of your dirty hand!"

 

The voice, like it came from hell, made the young man's heart pound violently. His hand involuntarily dropped from Gao Huiyu's back, and he looked at Xie Wendong. Seeing that the other party was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old teenager, apart from his cold eyes, there was nothing different. Gathering his courage, he angrily asked, "Boy, who are you to talk big here? Do you know who I am?"

 

Xie Wendong sneered at the corner of his mouth. "No matter who you are, if you dare to touch her again, I won't give you a chance to regret it!"

 

Feeling the powerful aura emanating from Xie Wendong, the young man sensed the smell of death and took a step back in fear. He knew that to exude such an imposing aura required the backing of strength, and even his father's aura was not stronger than that of the teenager in front of him. Suddenly, he thought of someone and couldn't help asking, "You... are you Xie Wendong?"

 

"It's none of your business who I am. Now get out of here immediately, and I'll consider sparing you!"

 

Hearing Xie Wendong's words, Gao Huiyu said angrily, "Xie Wendong, who do you think you are? Do you think everyone in the world is afraid of you?"

 

Xie Wendong was so angry that his face turned pale. He stared at Gao Huiyu and couldn't say a word.

 

Gao Huiyu pulled the sleeve of the young man and said, "Li Feng, let's go! Ignore him!"

 

The young man was Li Feng, the son of Li Shiming, an elder of the Qing Gang. Being pulled by Gao Huiyu's sleeve, he came to his senses. He thought, wasn't the other party just a lackey of the underworld? His father was an elder of the Qing Gang, and even Gao Zhen had to show some respect. Why should he be afraid? Thinking of this, Li Feng laughed and said, "Xie Wendong, sorry. Xiaoyu is pulling me away. We'll meet next time!" After that, he walked out of the school side by side with Gao Huiyu, his hand subtly resting on her waist. He looked back at Xie Wendong with a sinister smile on his face. And Gao Huiyu, who had lost her composure, didn't notice Li Feng's little gesture.

 

Xie Wendong gritted his teeth and watched the two leave. He didn't move for a long time. Ying stood quietly behind him and didn't say a word throughout. She felt a little more guilty towards Xie Wendong in her heart.

 

After a long time, Xie Wendong sat on the curb and punched the tree beside him hard. "Damn it! This is so annoying!"

 

Ying walked over and said silently, "You should chase after her and explain things clearly!"

 

Xie Wendong smiled bitterly. "Do you think Xiaoyu will listen to my explanation now?" Ying was silent.

 

"Sorry, it's because of me..."

 

Xie Wendong waved his hand to interrupt Ying's apology and shook his head, saying, "What's meant to happen will happen eventually! Xiaoyu doesn't trust me, and there will be a day like this sooner or later. I'm just worried about that Li Feng. I'm afraid he'll do something to Xiaoyu..." Xie Wendong sighed and couldn't go on.

 

Ying didn't say anything and stayed beside Xie Wendong.

 

At noon, Gao Huimei heard about what happened between Xie Wendong and her younger sister and went to find Xie Wendong. Xie Wendong had been feeling 郁闷 all morning and finally found someone to talk to. He talked with Gao Huimei for a long time. Regarding this matter, Gao Huimei didn't know whether she was happy or worried, or maybe both. Because she had never let go of her feelings for Xie Wendong, but since her younger sister had taken the lead in establishing a relationship with him, she had to suppress these feelings in her heart. Now that there was a crisis in their relationship, she felt a little happy, but more importantly, she was concerned about her sister and didn't want to see Gao Huiyu sad.

 

Gao Huimei said a lot to Xie Wendong, especially about girls' thoughts. "It's unbearable for a girl to see the person she loves with another girl. What's more, the person she loves even condoned that girl to teach her a lesson. Xiaoyu has been pampered since she was a child, so of course she can't accept this sudden thing. You know too little about girls' thoughts!"

 

After hearing this, Xie Wendong felt a little regretful and thought he had gone too far. He asked, "So what should I do now?"

 

Gao Huimei smiled and said, "You should sincerely apologize to Xiaoyu! Maybe there's still a chance to save the situation."

 

Xie Wendong was a bit hesitant. He wanted to apologize in his heart, but when he thought of Gao Huiyu letting Li Feng put his arm around her waist and leaving in front of him, his anger flared up again. But he didn't tell Gao Huimei about this and just nodded and perfunctorily replied a few words.

 

Xie Wendong was in a bad mood. In the evening, he took the initiative to find San Yan and Li Shuang to drink. San Yan noticed that Xie Wendong had something on his mind and asked him what was wrong. But Xie Wendong kept silent and just drank cup after cup. At the age of sixteen, Xie Wendong finally felt the bitterness and helplessness of love.

 

He didn't know how much he had drunk. In the end, Xie Wendong got drunk, and this was the first time he was so completely drunk that he didn't know anything. He was carried back to the hotel in a stupor by San Yan and Li Shuang.

 

From then on, there was a cold war between Xie Wendong and Gao Huiyu in their relationship. Neither of them took the initiative to seek reconciliation with the other, but they both missed each other in their hearts. Even if they happened to meet at school, they would turn their heads and pretend not to see each other. Later, Xie Wendong felt a bit embarrassed to keep meeting Gao Huiyu, so he rarely went back to school and was busy in the gang all day long.

 

During this period, many things happened in City J. First, the mayor was transferred away (of course, it was a horizontal transfer! He went to City S to continue serving as the mayor. This was popular in the 1990s. If a mayor couldn't manage a city well, he would be transferred horizontally to another city to continue being the mayor!). A new mayor took office. 随后,the secretary of the municipal Party committee claimed that he was too old and voluntarily proposed to retire. Other officials in the city government were either transferred or retired, and about half of them left. Chief Chen of the Municipal Bureau didn't escape either and was transferred to City Y to be a nominal and ineffective chief. This major change could be said to be a major reshuffle of the government in City J.

 

The new mayor took office and launched a large-scale construction project, vowing to build City J into a new modern city.

 

The new chief of the Municipal Bureau was surnamed Cheng. This person remembered the lessons of his predecessor and set out to focus on managing the underworld gangs in City J. Shortly after taking office, he dispatched all the police forces to conduct a major inspection of the commercial establishments in City J and implemented the "Four Sweeps" policy (sweeping away underworld gangs, pornography, drugs, and gambling). For a time, the underworld was in a panic, and the number of gang fights dropped significantly. The people of City J also had great confidence in this new chief, thinking that they could finally live a peaceful life in the future.

 

The Wendong Society was a major drug dealer in City J and could be said to be one of the top ones. But this time, it didn't escape the "Four Sweeps" policy. On that day, five of its venues were closed, and more than twenty people were arrested by the police. The Qing Gang was even worse. It was involved in pornography, gambling, and drugs. The new chief of the Municipal Bureau knew that the Qing Gang was the largest underworld gang in City J and was determined to use it to establish his prestige to show his determination. He successively raided twenty venues under the Qing Gang and arrested hundreds of people. Other underworld gangs were also cracked down on. They were angry and secretly cursed that the new chief had set the underworld in City J back at least five years.
