Chapter 24 - 24 22 Round 1
Chapter 24: Chapter 22: Round 1 Chapter 24: Chapter 22: Round 1 They had already circled to the back of the courtyard, which was very quiet, but Ye Chen knew that Zhan Ze was definitely up to no good.
Zhan Ze said: “Give me all the firecrackers. We need to add some excitement for them, otherwise we wouldn’t be doing justice to our senior brother.”
“What are you going to do?” Ye Chen asked.
“I’m going to throw them a bundle of firecrackers for support.” It seemed that without doing this, Young Master Ze couldn’t vent the anger he harbored from this afternoon.
Upon hearing this, both Hao Tian and Jing Xing became excited.
Only Ye Chen said with some concern: “What if it lights up and hurts someone?”
“Don’t worry, they’re just firecrackers. We’ve already decided to thoroughly fall out with them, so there’s nothing to hold back. Let them know our strength and see if that guy dares to act so arrogantly.” Young Master Ze said.
“If your father finds out, he’ll skin you alive.”
“No, that guy has no evidence that we did all this.” Zhan Ze said.
“I don’t think it’s very appropriate.”
“Who cares if it’s appropriate or not, I must do this tonight.” Zhan Ze continued: “Don’t worry, whatever happens, I’ll shoulder it.”
The bundle of firecrackers was then brought out.
They were divided, Ye Chen was still a bit nervous, so Zhan Ze didn’t give him any, but gave two to Hao Tian and two to Jing Xing. He himself took two. They planned to light them from outside and directly throw them in.
Ye Chen stepped aside.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…” The firecrackers, almost simultaneously from outside, were all thrown in. With a series of loud bangs and cracks, it was unclear what exactly happened inside. One could only hear the plates being exploded with loud bangs and cracks.
And someone yelling and cursing.
“Like to curse do you, here is some more for you.” Everything in hand was thrown in, exploding the flower pots, bowls and chopsticks, everything was flying all around.
Haoyu yelled: “Quickly send people to the back to check, catch those damn turtles for me.”
One more round, light all of them, and throw the sack into the courtyard, wishing they could set the entire courtyard on fire. Next, it was time to run. Using the cover of darkness, they vanished without a trace within moments.
Shi Zi said: “This must be Zhan Ze’s doing.” She didn’t know Zhan Ze still had some grand finale firecrackers.
“You didn’t know about tonight’s incident?” Yu Qing was somewhat incredulous.
“Hey, what do you mean, you think, I knew about tonight’s incident?”
“Considering your close relationship, who knows if you’ve teamed up.”
“Teamed up, how could it be, they never include me when they’re up to no good.” Shi Zi continued: “If time permits, I would want to stay and see how Haoyu handles the aftermath.”
“You’re really gloating over his misfortune huh.”
“How am I gloating? You only reap what you sow. It’s all his own doing, no one else to blame.” Shi Zi continued: “Zhan Ze, is just showing you the truth, that is what kind of person Haoyu really is. Perhaps, you almost believed his words huh.”
“You really think I’m a gullible girl, easily deceived?”
“I’m a bit worried. Anyone who doesn’t know better could easily be tricked into thinking he was a reformed character.” Shi Zi said.
“This Zhan Ze really bears grudges.”
“It’s not bearing grudges, it’s daring to act. And don’t blame him, he’s only doing this for you. He’s also doing so for you, scared that you’ll be snatched away. A single slip can cause eternal regret, he really put his heart into it.”
“Haha, don’t notch it up to my account, I didn’t order him to.”
The exploded plates and saucers flying all over the place made Haoyu’s eyes turn green. The girls were still arguing, and most importantly, his good mood was completely destroyed. He struggled till midnight to finally get the girls to leave, and one of them suffered an injury to her face from the explosion.
Dongfang Tang ran over and said, “It’s definitely that tortoise Zhan Ze’s doing, it must be him. He’s harboring a grudge because of what happened this afternoon and last night, deliberately messing with us.”
Haoyu was seething with anger. At this moment, someone walked in asking, “Do you want fireworks?”
Haoyu jumped up in anger and shouted: “Fireworks? You want to make more of a laughingstock out of me?”
Dongfang Tang quickly sent the man away and commanded others to come and clean up.
“I’m not done with those bastards.” Haoyu said.
Everything was quiet.
Zhan Ze and the others returned quickly. Hao Tian was overjoyed, thinking about it all made him feel it was fun. He said: “I bet there was a lot of chaos.”
“He still dares to oppose me, looks like he hasn’t suffered enough.” Zhan Ze said.
“The thought of it makes me laugh.” Jing Xing said: “Now Yu Qing should thoroughly understand what kind of person this guy is.”
Hearing this, Hao Tian said: “We need to be more careful now. This guy might take revenge on us. We have to be cautious.”
After hearing this, Zhan Ze sneered and said: “Who’s afraid of who? Let them come if they dare, I have never been afraid of anyone.”
They couldn’t stop laughing.
“Let’s go, let’s eat something.” Zhan Ze exhaled, as if he had avenged a deep-seated hatred.
Ye Chen returned to the courtyard really late. His mother was waiting for him again.
“Nowadays, you don’t distinguish between day and night, don’t you ever sleep?” Ye Xue said: “It seems you’re playing yourselves to death.”
Ye Chen hung his head.
“What have you been doing all day?”
“I was just hanging out with Zhan Ze.”
“Did you guys do something bad again?”
“No, no.” The second no was significantly quieter.
“Seems like I can’t control you anymore.”
“Mother.”
“You figure it out, if something happens, go back to Tianfang Village.” Ye Xue finished speaking and turned into her room.
Ye Chen took a deep breath and retired to his own room. His night was filled with uncertainty.
The next day, Zhan Ze was very happy. Like always, he was punctual in going to He Weng to learn martial arts, but today, Zhan Ze’s mood was evidently better than usual.
Zhan Ze said: “Tomorrow, let’s go fishing.”
“Tomorrow?”
“Yeah, isn’t tomorrow our day off?”
Ye Chen gave a nod after hearing this.
“Anything regarding last night’s incident?”
“Nothing, rest assured, it was just a few firecrackers, it’s no big deal if they exploded.” Zhan Ze responded.
That day, Ye Chen was very wary.
He ran into Qiao Haoyu at noon, there were a few marks on Haoyu’s face, most likely left from last night. He was quiet all morning, clearly affected by last night’s incident.
Zhan Ze became a lot more composed.
At the entrance, a few people were chatting, Haoyu, at that moment, stepped out and exclaimed, “All of you, listen to me, this isn’t over between us.”
Zhan Ze laughed, “Haha, are you trying to scare me? I’m so scared.”
“I will even the score, bit by bit.”
“Haha, there’s nothing I’m afraid of.”
Zhan Ze let out a chuckle and said, “Look at him, doesn’t he look like a kitten with a beard?”
“Pretty cute indeed.” Haotian responded.
Jingxing laughed, while Ye Chen was quiet.
Shizi came over today as well.
Seeing Zhan Ze and Haoyu engaged in an argument, with Haoyu storming off angrily.
Shizi approached and asked, “You guys did something naughty again, didn’t you?”
“Haha, wasn’t last night a blast?” Zhan Ze responded with a question.
“How do you even know I enjoyed it?”
“Didn’t you attend the big gathering?”
“Haha, how do you even know I went?”
“Just a guess.”
“The little misadventures you’ve had might fool others but not me.”
“What misadventures?”
“Don’t tell me the fireworks weren’t your doing, and those girls weren’t sent by you.”
“Who knows, maybe it was divine retribution for all the mischief done.”
“You even ruined people’s party with fireworks.”
“It must be retribution for some unscrupulous deeds.”
“As if you’re not unscrupulous.”
“Hey girl, what are you saying?”
“Fine, you guys were serving justice for the people.” Shizi stated.
Zhan Ze laughed and responded, “Of course, we were definitely serving justice for the people.”
“Seems like you’re in a good mood today.”
“I’ve always been in a good mood.” Zhan Ze responded.
“I don’t agree with what you’re doing, but last night’s event was indeed quite fun.”
“See, it was pretty fun, right? Do you now understand what kind of person he really is?”
“What are you planning on doing on your day off tomorrow?”
“I’ve invited Yu Qing. We will go fishing tomorrow.”
“Fishing? Just the two of you?”
“Of course not.”
“Listen, don’t mess things up again.”
“There’s nothing that I am afraid of now. What’s the big deal about making a mess? If such kind of person doesn’t get taught a lesson, they will continue their ways. This is truly a disgrace to the tradition of Immortal City.”
“But you didn’t have to blow everyone up with fireworks. You’ve really gone too far.”
“I just gave them a few fireworks to celebrate.”
“Hey, there were a few girls inside. What if someone got hurt?”
“It’s just a few firecrackers, it won’t hurt people.” Zhan Ze stated.
“What do you mean they won’t hurt people!” Shizi exclaimed, “A girl’s face was injured, even her arm was injured by the explosion.”
“Really?”
“Haha, do you think I’m joking with you!”
“Nothing serious, right?”
“I don’t know. She probably isn’t disfigured, but you can’t do things like this in the future.”
“I’ll go check on her.” Zhan Ze quickly changed the subject, “What is Yu Qing up to?”
“Yu Qing has her own things to do. She didn’t want to come here, fearing there would be a fight over her again.” Shizi explained.
“Isn’t your courtyard a bit boring?”
“My courtyard is just that. Indeed, it’s not as lively as yours.”
“Feel free to ask for anything you need.”
“Really?” Shizi questioned, “Send food over then, just keep sending delicious stuff.”
“Haha, so it’s for your own sake.”
“What are you saying, if I eat, won’t she eat as well!”
Zhan Ze responded with a faint smile.
What do you think?
