Hu Huimin made a hooking gesture with her finger at Chen Hao. Given Chen Haoâs current identity, he didnât want to simply give in and go over to her so pathetically. After all, he wasnât one to be ordered around by her.
Previously, while they were still studying, there were a few times when they attended competitions.
Maybe Hu Huimin was used to being the team captain, so she often said things like, âChen Hao, have you moved the few boxes of mineral water bottles like you were supposed to?â
âChen Hao, go and lend a hand with the luggages.â
ââ¦â¦â
The point was that Hu Huimin mightâve been used to giving orders. When he heard this, he was speechless, but he still went over while smiling bitterly.
âHaha, itâs true. Chen Hao listens to you.â
âHe dares to not listen? Hu Huimin used to be his team captain. Now, she is a sergeant. If he doesnât listen, she will catch him. Haha!â a girl jokingly said.
âChen Hao, I remember that you used to be really, really poor. But now youâre drinking at a bar. Did you somehow get rich?â Hu Huimin asked. She had been wondering about this since just now.
âHuh? Chen Hao was really poor?â The girls were surprised.
âYes. During our high school days, Chen Haoâs family was well known for being poor. He ate one meal a day. Sometimes, he couldnât even afford to pay the school fees. The point is, he was so poor that it was hard for one to imagine,â Hu Huimin said.
She didnât have any ulterior meaning when she said this. Since she was young, she developed a personality that was straightforward and capable; she said whatever was on her mind and didnât care about protecting Chen Haoâs feelings. She had been like this since their high school years. Hu Huimin would sometimes talk about embarrassing things in public.
Perhaps, in her eyes, being poor was not a big deal. However, at this moment, the way the girls viewed Chen Hao had turned to one of pity, because previously, everybody thought that he was the son of a wealthy family.
âIn that case, take your studies seriously. Study hard. It is better to concentrate on your studies and career.â
âThatâs right. I used to have a junior high school friend who had a high fever when he was young and his brain was not sharp after that. So, he started work very early. Now, he owns a shop. Therefore, Chen Hao, you must work hard too!â
Before Chen Hao could say anything, the few girls interrupted him and started talking non-stop. Chen Hao didnât explain anything, but merely only smiled bitterly and nodded his head.
âAlright, Huimin, letâs go have a drink!â Shen Junwen put his hand into his pocket and lit a cigarette; to him, there was no more need to speak to Chen Hao anymore.
âOkay, are you going, Chen Hao?â a girl mindlessly asked.
âWhy should he go? He wonât understand anything we talk about,â said Hu Huimin.
Personally, she knew that her colleagues were probably only being polite. However, Hu Huimin was secretly worried that Chen Hao was unaware and wouldnât be able to tell that it was an invitation out of pure courtesy; if that happened, it would be inconvenient. To let him tag along in this kind of situation, Hu Huimin felt uncomfortable. Then, she smiled and waved at Chen Hao; soon, the few of them left the bar.
Looking back at the door, it seemed that the Dragon Tiger Brothers had finished their task. They were smoking and leaning against the wall, looking at Young Master Chen; they must had been waiting for Chen Hao for quite awhile.
âSettled? Whereâs Yang Lu?â Chen Hao asked.
âSheâs crying inside,â Tian Long said, smiling.
Chen Hao shook his head helplessly. Then, the three of them left together.
âYoung Master Chen, those people are your schoolmates?â asked Tian Long after they came out.
âOne of them was my schoolmate from high school. Why?â
âFrom the looks of it, those few people are either graduates of the Police Academy or the Military Academy. They must have gone through military training,â Di Hu said as he smoked.
âBoth of you are not bad. You can tell even that. The one I was speaking to? Her name is Hu Huimin and she graduated from the Police Academy. Now, she is in the police force. Thatâs quite something.â
âSince she was your schoolmate, then I will be straightforward with you, Young Master Chen. This schoolmate of yours and her colleagues might get into trouble tonight,â Tian Long said after he clarified the matter.
âHuh?â Chen Hao started.
âJust now, when they left, we saw two people following them. In fact, the two people were armed and had a murderous aura around them. They have gone through military training too and they have definitely killed before,â Tian Long answered.
Actually, if he didnât hear this from the Dragon Tiger Brothersâ mouths, Chen Hao wouldnât have believed it. Just now, Chen Hao watched Hu Huimin and the rest as they walked out, but he didnât notice such a situation.
But who was he to speak? He couldnât compare to the Dragon Tiger Brothers in terms of this; these two people would definitely not joke with him.
Strictly speaking, he didnât have much of a relationship with Hu Huimin. What they had in high school could only be roughly considered a relationship between a boss and an employee. However, at the end of the day, she was still his schoolmate; since he knew that there would be trouble, his mind would not be in peace if he didnât rescue them. At the moment, Chen Hao didnât feel like exposing his identity because there were still a lot of things that he wanted to do in the future!
Therefore, he started weighing on his options in his heart. After making arrangements with the Dragon Tiger Brothers, Chen Hao sprinted to the bar where Hu Huimin was headed to.
When he got there, Hu Huimin and the rest had already started drinking; they were seated in front of a big table.
âHey! Huimin, look, why is Chen Hao here?â A girl spat her mouthful of beer, then pointed at Chen Hao with surprise.
When Chen Hao noticed them, he walked over.
âWhy are you here?â Hu Huimin frowned this time; she thought Chen Hao was being clingy, so her tone of speech was one of annoyance. Really? We were only being courteous with you just now, and you actually took our invitation for drinks seriously. My god, what kind of person is he?
âIâm only here to tell you not to stay out late tonight. It is quite dangerous. There are a few people who are targeting you people,â Chen Hao said. That was all he said to give Hu Huimin a heads up.
âHuh? Somebody is targeting us? Who? Why didnât I see them? Hehe. What do we do, and what do you do? If there really is somebody targeting us, that person would probably be none other than you!â If those words from Chen Hao came from her leader, Hu Huimin and the rest would have paid a lot of attention. If a closer friend said it, Hu Huimin would feel grateful. However, hearing that coming out of Chen Haoâs mouth felt like an insult to her profession; it was as if they were falcons and tigers, but a pig ran over to them and tried to claim leadership. Of course she grew angry, and clearly expressed her emotions on her face.
Chen Hao came mentally prepared for this situation when he came, so he merely nodded and left.
âThis person is so annoying. He thinks heâs on the same level as us, showing off like that.â
âThatâs true. Huimin, was he this annoying during high school?â The girls thought that Chen Hao was being meddlesome.
âHmph, I donât want to talk about him. Whatâs the point? Meng, Tian, letâs go. Accompany me to the washroom,â Hu Huimin said.
