Transmigrated as the fake young master, I'll beat up the scumbags and b*tches-Chapter 247Vol. 1 - - Blockhead

JingDu II High School—this was the school HuMing would be attending.

On one hand, it was close to the Gu family residence. On the other, the Gu family was one of its sponsors, which meant that, in many ways, their people would receive special treatment.

Sitting in a private car, HuMing and Kang Xin watched the scenery pass by.

Meanwhile, beside them, Gu YunZhou was introducing the school’s buildings and general environment.

Of course, he didn’t ramble too much. He could tell that HuMing wasn’t the type to enjoy pointless chatter. Besides, based on last night’s events, his cousin still seemed wary of him.

"Cousin, the students at school don’t know you’re from the Gu family. Do you want me to inform them in advance?"

"That won’t be necessary. If too many unnecessary people start hovering around me, it’ll just get in my way."

HuMing’s decision had nothing to do with avoiding exposure.

On the contrary, he very much intended to use this identity for his own purposes.

Since Gu ZhaoChuan knew he wasn’t revealing his background, he would likely stir things up and incite others—those who were unaware of the truth—to make a move against him.

Troublesome? Sure. But not without its benefits.

If he could take advantage of the situation and manipulate those people into siding with him instead, that would be quite the blow to Gu ZhaoChuan.

As for the cousin sitting beside him… HuMing had to admit, he couldn’t quite read the boy’s thoughts.

Gu YunZhou’s kindness was hard to ignore, yet everything he did made HuMing question whether he had some ulterior motive.

Gazing out the window, HuMing let out a small, exasperated sigh.

It had been a long time since he’d struggled to see through someone.

Perhaps life had been too comfortable lately—his instincts for reading others had dulled.

…

Upon hearing that their class would be receiving two transfer students, Xia Chen found it rather odd.

After all, who transferred to JingDu at the end of the semester? Logically and timing-wise, it made no sense.

That said, if someone could manage such a transfer, their family background must be quite solid.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.

"Brother Chen, do you think the new transfer students will be girls? Everyone’s betting their lunch money that at least one of them will be an ugly girl."

"Idiots. We’re in high school, and you’re still playing these childish games? You’d be better off spending that time playing a few rounds of Gomoku with me."

"Brother Chen, please spare me!!!"

The boy who had been chatting with Xia Chen turned and ran as if fleeing for his life—clearly a victim of Xia Chen’s relentless Gomoku obsession.

Xia Chen didn’t bother stopping him. Instead, he propped his chin up, lost in thought.

His mind drifted to his little sister, wondering how she was doing over there. Was there anything interesting to see? Any updates on Han ShuYi?

A hint of disappointment crossed his face. If only he had gone instead—he would have loved to see firsthand how HuMing managed to put Han ShuYi behind bars.

He envied his sister for being involved in the whole ordeal.

When it came to meddling in other people’s business, Xia Chen and Xia XiaoXi were cut from the same cloth.

The siblings shared a deep fascination with such matters, always wishing they could experience them firsthand.

This time, Xia XiaoXi was simply the lucky one who got an early introduction to HuMing.

Few people actually knew that Xia XiaoXi and Xia Chen were siblings. If they did, Xia Chen would have been swamped with requests for his sister’s autograph.

Compared to himself, his little sister had far more freedom.

As long as it didn’t interfere with her studies, she could pursue what she loved. Meanwhile, he was stuck in school, forced to deal with these boring classmates.

At times, he genuinely wanted to scale the school fence and explore the city for a bit. However, if he did, his dad would punish him with a belt. Furthermore, he didn’t truly possess the skills to survive on his own out there.

"Oh, heavens, grant me an adventure!"

Xia Chen suddenly clutched his head and let out a dramatic sigh.

His classmates barely reacted, quickly returning to their own activities.

Clearly, this wasn’t the first time Xia Chen had gone off the deep end.

It was simply accepted that his genius was beyond the comprehension of mere mortals. Well, to everyone else, he was just a weirdo with occasional bouts of insanity.

A commotion at the classroom door caught Xia Chen’s attention.

Looking up, he saw Gu YunZhou walking in.

As the most handsome boy in class, Gu YunZhou received a steady stream of love letters every day. More importantly, as a member of the Gu family, many classmates eagerly sought to curry favor with him.

Xia Chen, however, was not one of them.

The Xia family’s status in JingDu was nothing to scoff at either.

In recent years, they had risen alongside the three major families, practically becoming the fourth powerhouse.

Having four members in the "Three Great Kings" is totally normal, right?

Still, the real reason Xia Chen had little interaction with Gu YunZhou was because of one particular incident.

One day, he found a love letter in his desk—full of heartfelt words but with no sender’s name.

Excited, he eagerly ran to the meeting place written in the letter.

But when the girl saw him, she looked… perplexed.

"I gave my love letter wrongly… I meant to give it to Gu YunZhou!"

She bowed repeatedly, apologizing over and over, before snatching the letter back from his hands.

Thankfully, she hadn’t asked him to pass the letter to Gu YunZhou—otherwise, he might have shattered on the spot.

Because of this, Xia Chen had held a grudge against Gu YunZhou for a long time. To this day, he barely spoke to him.

Yet, because both of them were among the tallest students in class, they always ended up sitting next to each other.

All Xia Chen had to do was turn his head, and he’d see Gu YunZhou.

Fate, it seemed, had a twisted sense of humor.

Gu YunZhou stepped into the classroom and returned to his seat.

But he quickly noticed something unusual—Xia Chen had been staring at him ever since he walked in.

That was strange. Xia Chen usually avoided talking to him. At first, Gu YunZhou had wondered if he had somehow offended him, but since Xia Chen never made an effort to reconcile, he had let it be.

Yet today, Xia Chen was openly staring.

Did he want to say something?

Gu YunZhou turned toward him.

The moment their eyes met, Xia Chen instantly jerked his head toward the window, acting as if nothing had happened.

"Xia Chen, did I do something to offend you?"

Seeing Xia Chen’s awkward reaction, Gu YunZhou couldn’t help but ask.

"No, why would you think that? I just don’t feel like talking to you, that’s all."

"Is it because I’m from the Gu family? Does that make you unwilling to get close to me?" Gu YunZhou recalled what HuMing had advised him about before.

Suddenly, his cousin’s words made a lot of sense.
