Chapter 355: Chapter 355: Choice

“You all came?” Xiao Han quickly greeted, “Come on in.”

The three of them quickly slipped in.

A hint of curious smiles lifted the corners of their mouths, and the three sat down in a row in the ward.

Lan Yudie glanced at the group and said, “You all came so early?”

“Teacher Lan, weren’t you here even earlier than us?” Zhang Feng chuckled.

“I came to bring him breakfast!” Lan Yudie’s face turned slightly red.

“Oh!” The three of them uttered a meaningful ‘oh’.

“Hey, don’t get the wrong idea!” Lan Yudie hastily said.

“No, no!” Zhang Dagou quickly shook his head and said, “We all know about your relationship with Xiao Han. What’s there to misunderstand?”

Upon hearing this, Lan Yudie found it difficult to explain further. To explain is to obfuscate, and obfuscation is the beginning of deceit. Blushing, she carefully continued feeding Xiao Han dumplings while the three looked on with envy. At this moment, Liu Bin said, “Ah, when will we be able to find a girlfriend as beautiful as Teacher Lan?”

“You wish!” Zhang Dagou laughed and said, “You got the skills like Xiao Han?”

“True, I’m not as good as Xiao Han,” Liu Bin shook his head and continued, “I didn’t accept Xiao Han before, but now I do. The kid is amazing, not only great at making money but also at fighting. How many women could resist his charm?”

“Haha!” Zhang Dagou laughed heartily and said, “Are you saying that Teacher Lan is a materialistic woman?”

“No, no, no!” Liu Bin hurriedly shook his head, quickly defending Lan Yudie, “Teacher Lan knew nothing about Xiao Han before they met. So she’s definitely not a materialistic woman. On the contrary, she’s a woman with great insight to have spotted the potential in Xiao Han!”

“Haha…” Zhang Dagou laughed again.

Zhang Feng walked up to Xiao Han and asked, “Xiao Han, how are you feeling?”

“I’m feeling pretty good!” Xiao Han smiled and said, “I think I can be discharged by this afternoon.”

“Really?” Zhang Feng smiled and said, “That’s good to hear. But have you thought about Dao Meng?”

“What about it?” Xiao Han asked.

“You’ve hit Dao Meng hard this time, you must have swelled Liu Sandao’s face, right?” Zhang Feng glanced at Xiao Han and continued, “I’m afraid Liu Sandao won’t let you off easily. He called so many officials and social elites to watch the fight, simply to show them that Dao Meng is unbeatable. But now, you’ve slapped him in the face, and in front of so many people no less. You should be very clear about the consequences.”

Xiao Han was slightly taken aback and said, “I know.”

“So what’s your plan?” Zhang Feng asked.

“There’s always a way out when the car reaches the mountain; the path will straighten when the boat reaches the bridge,” Xiao Han waved his hand and said, “There are always more solutions than problems. I’ll respond when Dao Meng makes a move.”

“I think it’s still better to be prepared,” Zhang Feng said with a glance at Xiao Han. “After all, Dao Meng is formidable, there’s no doubt about that. Offending Liu Sandao means going against the entire Dao Meng. You’ve defeated their War God, unintentionally shaking their undefeated myth. Either you talk to them proactively, or you leave the provincial city!”

“I’ve said it before, I, Xiao Han, have my principles and bottom line,” Xiao Han smiled faintly, “If no one offends me, I don’t offend anyone; if someone offends me, I will retaliate. It’s that simple.”

“I know,” Zhang Feng looked at Xiao Han with a hint of urgency and said, “You have your principles, your bottom line. But haven’t you forgotten what you once said? The principles of the weak are trampled by the strong, and the dignity of the weak is humiliated by the strong. Looking at the current situation, you are the weak one, and Liu Sandao is the strong one.”

“I understand what you mean!” Xiao Han looked at Zhang Feng and said, “This matter certainly needs proper handling. Don’t worry about that.”

Just as they were talking,

Suddenly, someone pushed open the door to the ward.

The group turned to look and saw a group of sturdy men clad in black suits. Leading them was White Tiger. White Tiger was wearing a dark cyan suit with a black tie and sunglasses perched on his nose. He was holding a fruit basket in his hand.

“It’s you guys!” Zhang Feng spoke up, confronting them, “What are you here for?”

“We’ve come to visit the injured,” White Tiger glanced at the group, then smiled and said, “What, are we not welcome?”

“To visit someone, of course we welcome, just afraid your intentions aren’t pure!” Zhang Dagou stood up, his hand already gripping the folding chair beside him, ready to fight at any time.

White Tiger chuckled and said, “Just with you few, you’re definitely no match for us, so I’d advise you to sit down quietly.”

“Everyone, sit down!” Xiao Han gestured with his hand.

Whoosh…

Several people took their seats one after the other.

Xiao Han wasn’t in a hurry, but instead, he smiled. Looking at White Tiger, he asked, “Did Dao Ye send you?”

“That’s right!” White Tiger nodded and placed the fruit basket on the multifunctional cabinet to one side. Then he sat down in front of Xiao Han, meeting his gaze, and said, “Let’s not beat around the bush. Dao Ye sent me here today.”

“What does Dao Ye want to say?” Xiao Han furrowed his brows.

“Dao Ye wants you to consider joining Dao Meng,” White Tiger said with a smile.

“And if I don’t join?” Xiao Han sneered.

White Tiger glanced at Xiao Han, then said, “Dao Ye has also given you a few choices! First, join Dao Meng; second, leave the provincial city forever. It’s up to you.”

“Dao Ye really thinks highly of me,” Xiao Han said with a shrug, then continued, “I’m just an ordinary student. You go back and tell Dao Ye that I, Xiao Han, will not pose any threat to him. I have no interest in the power struggles of the provincial city. I just want to quietly be a student. Also, pass on a message to Dao Ye for me, although I am just a student, my principles and dignity will not be trampled upon by anyone. If anyone dares to strike at me or people close to me, I will destroy them at all costs.”

This speech was heartfelt from Xiao Han and was also a warning to Liu Sandao.

White Tiger was genuinely shocked. He had not expected that a student in his early twenties could speak with such dignity and assertiveness. It shook White Tiger’s soul, as well as everyone else’s.

Lan Yudie had been watching Xiao Han all along. Without sufficient strength, he definitely wouldn’t dare to talk so straightforwardly with Liu Sandao. Without enough strength, he probably wouldn’t dare to talk like this at all.

White Tiger paused briefly before saying, “Okay, I will convey your words to Dao Ye exactly as you’ve said them. However, as for what Dao Ye decides to do, we will follow through.”

“Alright.” Xiao Han nodded and then said, “Zhang Feng, see them out.”

“Hmm.” Zhang Feng’s face was grim as he stood up.

White Tiger got up and said, “Alright, then I’ll take my leave.”

After that, White Tiger led his people out of the ward.

Once the group had left, the atmosphere in the ward immediately relaxed a lot. When White Tiger and his party entered, everyone in the ward had felt nearly suffocated by the pressure. These were men who had been through the storm of blood and violence, exuding a menacing aura. Meanwhile, Zhang Feng and the others were just a bunch of college freshmen, newcomers who had never truly fought and killed. They fought with raw passion, which was no match for those immersed in a brutal world.

“Xiao Han,” Lan Yudie said, looking at Xiao Han, “An arm can’t win against a thigh, so be careful.”

“I know,” Xiao Han nodded and said, “Liu Sandao is a smart man. He should know how to make a choice and that he should adopt a more conciliatory approach towards me. Otherwise, if it comes down to a hard fight, the result will be unfavorable for both sides.”

“Mmm!” Lan Yudie nodded.

“Liu Sandao won’t let you stay in the provincial city in peace!” Zhang Feng glanced at Xiao Han and said, “If I were Liu Sandao, I would have many concerns, too.”

“Why?” Zhang Dagou asked, “Xiao Han is just a student, not anyone significant.”

“That’s where you’re wrong,” Zhang Feng laughed and said, “The powers in the provincial city are currently shifting. Don’t think that just because Liu Sandao’s Dao Meng is touted as the top power in the province, it means their position is stable. Liu Sandao’s keenness to recruit you is solely to consolidate his position. I’ve heard that there’s another gang within the city that could stand toe-to-toe with Dao Meng called Hei Tie. Apparently, the leader of Hei Tie is also quite the character, and his strength isn’t far off from Liu Sandao’s. He might even have surpassed Dao Meng.”

“I see,” Xiao Han said with a laugh upon hearing this, “How do you know all this?”

“Of course, I know!” Zhang Feng smiled and then said, “I’ve always been paying attention to this.”

“Oh!” Xiao Han nodded, then said, “This Hei Tie seems quite interesting.”

“Heh heh…” Zhang Feng gave a sly smile, then said, “Liu Sandao fears Hei Tie’s strength might surpass his own. So he’s been hastily gearing up for a bloody battle with Hei Tie. Your arrival has prompted Liu Sandao to sense a crisis.”

“You know this too?” Liu Bin looked at Zhang Feng in surprise.@@novelbin@@

“Know quite a bit!” Zhang Feng smiled.

“You and I have similar information!” Liu Bin laughed and said, “The rumors online about the power dynamics within the provincial city really do suggest that. Now Liu Sandao is somewhat panicked. He fears he can’t keep his position as the top gang, so he’s anxious.”

“That’s the world of the underworld; it doesn’t concern us!” Xiao Han said with a laugh.

Liu Bin frowned and then said, “But we’ve already been dragged into it.”

“Right!” Zhang Feng nodded and said, “After this incident, you’ve definitely caught Hei Tie’s attention. It’s possible that Hei Tie might want to recruit you too. If Hei Tie succeeds, then Dao Meng’s position would be precarious.”

“Makes sense!” Liu Bin nodded and said, “Indeed, it’s a troublesome matter. Xiao Han, you have to be very careful.”
