Peerless Martial Expert in the City-Chapter 220 - 219: Murderous Intent

(Phew, I am really thankful to ranier and 神冲20 for their New Year’s red packets and for gracing me with their presence. Thank you so much, and I wish you prosperity in the new year, haha!)

——————————————————————

"Leader, he was expelled for fighting..."

It took him a while to come back to his senses. He wanted to defend himself with a few words, but the leader didn’t let him continue and interrupted him directly, saying indifferently, "You don’t need to explain this to me. This was Vice Principal Yan’s decision. If you have any concerns, go and explain them to Vice Principal Yan."

Vice Principal Yan!

Upon hearing his leader’s words, Zhang Wudao’s expression instantly became incredibly awkward. He knew that this time, he was truly doomed, completely doomed... Yet... He had never imagined it would be because of him...

Xiao Yi, this guy named Xiao Yi, seemed to him just an ordinary kid, as easy to squash as an ant...

Thinking of the bleak life he would face after being forced to resign, remembering everything that had happened, he ultimately couldn’t control himself. He gasped for air, his vision darkened, and he collapsed on the ground completely.

..............

Having returned to Azure Waterfront, Xiao Yi had a bit to eat before heading back to his room, where he opened his computer and the web pages he had been following. However, when he opened the pages, he couldn’t help but freeze.

The pages that had been closely followed due to Qingqing’s cousin’s assault case were now clean and tidy, with no information about the incident to be found.

What happened?

After a moment of shock, Xiao Yi, filled with suspicion, quickly reopened several sites, including some influential microblogs and search entries, only to suddenly find that all entries related to the incident had been deleted.

Some discussions were still there, but the original content had been marked as deleted.

After searching for a while, Xiao Yi finally found some content.

What happened?

A bad premonition arose in Xiao Yi’s heart.

Picking up his phone, Xiao Yi was ready to call Qingqing to ask about the situation. He had been busy dealing with his own issues at school these past few days, and with Xiaomei’s involvement, he felt somewhat reassured. Therefore, except for checking the web pages on his computer yesterday, he hadn’t inquired more about the incident.

But as he picked up the phone and dialed the number, he hesitated for a moment, then put the phone back down. He stood up, grabbed his jacket, and walked toward the door.

He decided it was better to go to the hospital and ask in person.

"Hmph, I’m warning you all, let this matter go. If you don’t know any better and dare to gossip further, you’ll regret it. Be careful when you walk out the door!"

As Xiao Yi just arrived in front of the hospital ward, he heard an extremely arrogant voice coming from inside.

Hearing this voice, Xiao Yi immediately knew that his trip here was the right decision. His previous guess had been confirmed; those people obviously hadn’t been punished as they should have been. Those posts must have definitely been influenced and controlled by their backgrounds.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so arrogant now.

Li Xiaohan, huh.

A cold smile formed on Xiao Yi’s lips, and a chill flashed in his eyes.

Just as he hesitated for a moment, he saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy with thin lips and a sinister look in his eyes aggressively march past him. Seeing Xiao Yi standing in front of the ward, the boy scoffed contemptuously at him before striding forward, followed by several tall and fierce-looking men.

"What’s going on?"

With a calm smile, Xiao Yi, observing the bustling hospital atmosphere, not a suitable place for confrontations, watched these people leave before he slowly walked into the ward. The moment he entered, he saw the gloomy expressions on Li Xiaomei and Wang Dawei, as well as another student’s parent who was staying in the ward.

"Classmate Xiao, why have you come?"

Upon hearing Xiao Yi’s voice, Qingqing came back to her senses and stood up with a surprised and joyful expression to greet him.

"I came to see how Xiaohu is doing. He’s not in any trouble, is he?"

Xiao Yi smiled gently, turned his head to look at Wang Xiaohu, who appeared to be tightly bandaged on the hospital bed, and asked with a concerned expression.

"Nothing serious now. Dr. Zhang came by this morning and said the recovery is going very well. In a couple of days, he might start to remove some of the stitches,"

Li Xiaomei quickly replied, her son’s safety and good recovery being the greatest comfort in her heart.

"That’s good, Xiaohu. You don’t need to worry or think too much. Just focus on healing and later, study hard to get into a good university. That will be the greatest reward and comfort for your parents,"

Xiao Yi nodded his head. While he had been talking, he had gently held Wang Xiaohu’s arm. Now, hearing Li Xiaomei’s words, he also let go of Wang Xiaohu’s arm and smiled slightly at Wang Xiaohu, who was only showing his eyes that revealed a pained expression.

After speaking, he turned to Li Xiaomei and Wang Dawei and asked, "Uncle Wang, Auntie Li, who were those people just now, and what’s going on?"

"Ah..."

Hearing Xiao Yi’s question, the faces of Li Xiaomei and Wang Dawei immediately grew pale, and they began to sigh heavily.

"That was that damn Li named Wang earlier."

A parent of another student paused for a moment, his face filled with anger, "That bastard just randomly found someone to take the blame for him, then came here to strut around and threaten us, telling us not to go public or post anything messy online.".

As he spoke, he couldn’t help trembling as he recalled the tone and facial expression of that man named Li during the conversation.

Li Xiaomei and Wang Dawei both lowered their heads as well, their hands clenched into fists. After a while, Wang Dawei murmured a comfort to that parent, "Niu, let it go. Just endure it; the child is what matters. As long as the child is fine, let it be. Trash like him will definitely get their comeuppance one day."

"They’ll definitely be dealt with by karma one day,"

Xiao Yi gently patted Wang Dawei’s shoulder and softly said.

"If such scum isn’t taken care of by karma, it would really be an injustice. I, Niu, don’t believe that fate could be so blind, and I’m waiting for the day he gets what he deserves!"

The student’s parent’s expression finally calmed down a bit, and he spoke bitterly.

Xiao Yi looked at the still resentful parent, smiled slightly, and said nothing, but silently thought to himself that the day would not be too far off.

"By the way, Uncle Wang, didn’t Senior Wang come over today?"

After speaking, Xiao Yi then asked Wang Dawei and others.

"She has been here for several days already. I had her go back this morning since Xiaohu’s injury has stabilized now. She can come over again when she has time," Li Xiaomei explained to Xiao Yi.

"By the way, Classmate Xiao, you have classes today, right? If you need to attend classes, you don’t have to come here; we’ll be fine."

When classes were mentioned, Wang Dawei suddenly remembered, and quickly spoke with gratitude.

"No worries, I came here after my classes. If there’s nothing else, I should be going now. Remember, if there’s anything, just call my mobile phone. Don’t hesitate to contact me. Senior Wang and I are good friends, and her matters are my matters,"

Xiao Yi smiled, stood up, and said to both of them.

"We will."

"Got it."

Hearing Xiao Yi’s words, Wang Dawei and Li Xiaomei exchanged a glance, revealing knowing smiles. In their eyes, Xiao Yi’s diligent help was naturally not just for their sake and definitely not just out of righteousness. Helping them like this could only be for Wang Qingqing, but they were very satisfied with Xiao Yi. Despite appearing to be from an ordinary family, he understood medical knowledge and was also a student at the same university as Qingqing. Moreover, his behavior during this period had been very down-to-earth, pleasing them greatly.

Thus, in their hearts, they already considered him potentially that "someone special," and thought that his words might be suggesting his relationship with Wang Qingqing, which made their faces light up with joy.

"Then... I’ll be going now."

Xiao Yi looked at their expressions, felt that something was a bit odd and not quite right, but couldn’t quite figure out why. Considering other things on his mind, he hesitated for a moment before saying goodbye and headed towards the hospital room door.

"Alright, goodbye."

Wang Dawei and Li Xiaomei warmly escorted him to the door.

Li Xiaohan!

After leaving the hospital and reaching his Maserati, Xiao Yi’s mouth curved into a mocking smile, his eyes flashing with a cold murderous intent.

.........

Li Zhengyi was in an especially good mood. He had thought his youngest son’s issue was doomed and had almost given up hope, but thanks to his father-in-law’s arrangements and guidance, he turned danger into safety. Not only did he avoid being banished, but he also basically didn’t lose much property, just under a million total.

This amount of money was nothing to him. What mattered most was that he could still live his lavish lifestyle in G City as before.

However, he was also quite clever. He knew that even though the present matter was resolved, he needed to act cautiously. One misstep could put him right back in the hot seat, and then even gods might not be able to save him. Therefore, he had been very low-key in his actions these past few days. (To be continued.
