Full-Time Public Enemy-Chapter 535 -s 456 - Ming Di Research Institute_3

Chen Gu was also stunned. This "Rainbow" was completely different from the one he knew. Yep, one really can’t judge a book by its cover, he thought.

Once in the canteen, Chen Gu was quite generous, telling them to eat whatever they wanted. The duo didn’t really go all out to fleece him; they just had their fill and let the matter rest.

Suddenly, Qiao Shuangyi caught sight of Shangguan Yuqing at another table, and his eyes turned red all at once. "Chen, help me get revenge!"

Chen Gu was a bit puzzled. What "grudge" did he hold against Shangguan Yuqing? Then he heard Lin Xiaochen snickering with schadenfreude on the side.

Meanwhile, Shangguan Yuqing also noticed Qiao Shuangyi staring at her and glared back at him fiercely.

"What’s going on?" Chen Gu asked.

The chubby boy immediately said, "We have a Professional Combat Class in the afternoon, Chen Gu, you have got to back me up. In the last few classes, I was beaten up really badly by that crazy woman..."

"Lin Xiaochen, you tell me what happened here," Chen Gu interjected. "Did this little lecher take advantage of someone again?"

Qiao Shuangyi let out a mournful wail. "What does it have to do with me? It was clearly that crazy woman who went nuts on her own! Lin, you’ve got to speak from your conscience!"

Lin Xiaochen’s laughter clucked like an old hen. "I heard that a few days ago, the Shangguan Family and the Qiao Family were considering a marriage alliance, and then the adults from both families matched up their young ones, dragging Shangguan Yuqing and Qiao Shuangyi into the spotlight.

"After all, both are from the Huai Shan Branch School and are seen as the finest of their respective families’ younger generation.

"Chen, look at this, isn’t it a case of a well-matched couple... a dull man with a talented and beautiful woman?

"Anyway, as soon as word of this proposition leaked from both families, I heard Shangguan Yuqing exploded at home and had a big fight with her father and brothers."

Qiao Shuangyi raised a heaven-shaking complaint. "So, I deserve to be unlucky for this? I was helpless against my family’s arrangement, so I thought of building a good relationship in advance, to avoid mutual distaste if we really ended up marrying, which would make life unbearable."

"Heh," Lin Xiaochen mocked. "You sure are thinking far into the future. Have you picked a name for your child yet?"

"..." Qiao Shuangyi turned his head away, ignoring him.

Chen Gu was also amused. To be fair, although both families were equally matched, Shangguan Yuqing was a great beauty; in terms of looks, Qiao Shuangyi was certainly punching above his weight. This was not something Chen Gu could justly intervene in. He was also acquainted with Shangguan Yuxie, so how could he justify hitting his sister?

He looked at Qiao Shuangyi with disappointment. "You can’t even beat a woman, and you have the nerve to ask for my help?"

Qiao Shuangyi’s face turned red, feeling like a failure. "But... she is one Energy Level higher than me. I really can’t defeat her."

Chen Gu patted him on the back. "Brother, listen to my advice. Go home and find a way to break off this engagement as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you really get married, you’ll be domestically abused every day, not even allowed on the bed."

His words were earnest, each a piece of heartfelt advice.

Qiao Shuangyi nodded repeatedly like a pecking chicken. "After the last beating, I was also discouraged. So what if she’s beautiful? There are plenty of pretty women in the world willing to marry me, Qiao Shuangyi. I don’t need to be so infatuated with her."

Chen Gu’s eyes darted around. "However, I do have a suggestion that could help you beat her once and get your revenge. But this method can only be used once; it won’t work again after that. Get your revenge, and that’s it. Don’t ever bother her again."

The little fatty’s eyes lit up. "That’s great! I’ll follow your advice, Chen."

Lin Xiaochen also pricked up his ears. With the wide gap between Qiao Shuangyi and Shangguan Yuqing clearly visible, what could Chen Gu have up his sleeve to help the little fatty overpower and beat Shangguan Yuqing?

But when Chen Gu revealed the plan, not only did Lin Xiaochen look mischievously pleased, Qiao Shuangyi was also extremely conflicted. "Chen, in front of everyone, doing that... it’s not quite appropriate, is it?"

Chen Gu spread his hands. "I’ve given you the strategy. Whether you use it or not is up to you."

"This... let me think about it, think about it."

The little fatty thought about it until the Professional Combat Class in the afternoon.

After the last attack, the Huai Shan Branch School’s security measures were upgraded in all aspects, including the protection for the students’ Professional Combat Classes. In the past, these classes were usually led by someone of Wang Chengqian’s caliber, at the Fifth Energy Level. Now, all have been replaced by instructors of at least the Sixth Energy Level.

This semester, their class’s combat instructor was an old man with somewhat grizzled hair and beard. He wasn’t very tall but had a well-proportioned build, and his face bore the signs of hard times.

Before class, Lin Xiaochen introduced him to Chen Gu. "This teacher’s name is Gu Han. He used to be an employee in the school’s security department; it’s said he was once a powerful freelance mercenary. After retiring, Director Xue recruited him to our school. Lately, the teachers have felt that the students’ combat skills are lacking, so they brought him out to instruct us in professional combat techniques."
