10: Do you know you almost lost your life just now?!
Zhu Shiyong arrived once all the students were present.
Suddenly realizing he was out of cigarettes, he went back downstairs to buy another pack.
Unexpectedly, on his way back up, he bumped into Lu Feng, who was wandering around the hallway.
So, he enthusiastically pulled Lu Feng toward the other private room.
Lu Feng felt as if ten thousand 'grass mud horses' were stampeding through his heart.
Could this be any more of a coincidence?
What was even more coincidental was that his class reunion room and the room where he had been eating were just a wall apart.
He opened the door; the private room on this side was much larger than his own.
Two huge round tables were filled with his classmates.
When Zhu Shiyong pushed open the door,
everyone was talking about interesting stories from their school days.
Xie Chao smiled and said,
"Teacher Zhu, everyone is waiting for you to give a speech."
Zhu Shiyong smiled and replied, "Alright!"
"Look who I found when I went out?"
With that, he pushed Lu Feng out from behind him.
A flicker of displeasure appeared on Xie Chao's face. Hadn't this kid said he wasn't coming? But it was fine that he came; it would let him see his own strength clearly.
He wasn't worthy of competing with Xie Chao for the same woman.
Lu Feng didn't think too much about it; since he was already here, so be it.
Zhu Shiyong said, "Everyone has their seats. Lu Feng, you sit next to me."
As soon as Lu Feng sat down, he realized that Chen Xilan was sitting directly opposite him.
There were several girls beside her, whispering into Chen Xilan's ear.
They kept stealing glances at Lu Feng's side.
Lu Feng didn't even have to think to know what they were saying.
They were surely saying, 'Look, your pursuer is here again; he probably wanted to see you one last time.'
Lu Feng didn't bother to look over there. Now, seeing Chen Xilan was like seeing a complete stranger; he felt nothing at all.
He only wanted to find a gap in a moment and slip away.
Zhu Shiyong raised his glass. "First of all, congratulations to everyone on embarking on a new path in life."
"From now on, you will be scattered all over the country, going your separate ways. This might be our last dinner together."
"To your youth, cheers."
Lu Feng also raised his glass. "Cheers!"
"Let this glass be a goodbye to my own ridiculous youth."
Everyone drained their glasses in one gulp.
Zhu Shiyong smiled and said,
"By the way, although you are all adults now, you should still drink less alcohol."
After the opening remarks, everyone began to seek out people they knew to drink with.
They started chatting enthusiastically.
Someone said, "Even if we graduate from university, so what?"
"Will we be able to earn enough money to buy a car like the class monitor's?"
"Yeah, it costs over a million. I reckon I wouldn't earn that even if I worked for a lifetime."
Some of the more socially savvy ones had already switched into brown-nosing mode.
"Class monitor, if I can't find a job in the future, can I work at your company?"
Xie Chao showed a self-satisfied smile.
"What do you mean 'my company'? That's my dad's company."
"Oh, you're the only son in your family. What's your dad's is yours anyway."
"That's right!" Many students who had caught on began to chime in.
Xie Chao was extremely proud. He glanced at Chen Xilan out of the corner of his eye and saw that she was also looking at him.
So, he waved his hand grandly. "No problem. As long as you graduate, you are all welcome to come and work at our company."
"Oh?" Zhu Shiyong also joined in.
"If that's the case, then on behalf of the students in our class, I'll propose a toast to you, Xie Chao."
Just then, a girl glanced at the silent Lu Feng.
"What if someone didn't get into university? Can they still work at your company?"
Xie Chao looked at the girl who spoke, knowing what she meant.
He deliberately avoided looking in Lu Feng's direction.
Raising his voice, he said,
"That won't do. Although my dad's company is only ranked in the top three in our city,"
"the requirements for hiring are still very high."
"At the very least, it's an undergraduate degree to start."
"Oh, fortunately our class is all undergraduate; there are no vocational students."
Lu Feng found these words boring.
These people hadn't even entered society yet, but they had already picked up that social habit of fawning over the high and trampling the low.
He prepared to just leave.
Xie Chao continued,
"If any of you feel you have the ability, feel free to show it."
"Because in a while, my dad will also be coming over to toast everyone and thank you all for your support of me, Xie Chao, over the past three years."
"Wow! A big boss like your dad is actually coming in person?"
"I'm so excited!"
...At the same time.
On the main road, Xie Zhi was driving his extended Genesis Land Rover.
He had just reached the area where the Jinhao Hotel was located.
Suddenly, he found that his Land Rover couldn't move anymore.
For some reason, many vans had parked on this street.
What was going on?
How could this street suddenly be blocked?
Xie Zhi was somewhat surprised and simply got out of the car.
He took out his phone and walked toward the Jinhao while making a call.
"Hello... Is this Captain Li? Yes, yes, it's me!"
"Why is it suddenly so congested in front of the Jinhao Hotel?"
"That's right, you need to send someone to take a look quickly!"
"Mm, sure, let's get together when you're free. Next time I have dinner with your Director Chen,"
"I'll definitely call you and have you join us."
"Hey, no need to thank me, it's just a casual mention."
"What could I be doing here? Just attending my son's class reunion. It's not easy being a parent these days."
Hanging up the phone, Xie Zhi shook his head and looked at the blocked cars on the street again.
He muttered to himself,
"Ordinary people are just helpless when facing such things."
"To survive in this society, one must have ability."
Shaking his head slightly, Xie Zhi strode into the Jinhao Hotel... while on the rooftop of a building opposite the Jinhao.
A man had a streak of black greasepaint on his cheek to prevent reflections from the strong sunlight from exposing him.
He lay quietly on the ground, steadily holding an L115 sniper rifle coated with light-absorbing material.
It could precisely hit an enemy's head from 2,700 meters away.
And at this moment, in the scope of his sniper rifle, the crosshairs were centered right on that man's forehead.
His finger rested lightly on the trigger. With just one order from inside, the man on the phone would lose his life instantly.
"No problem, it's a parent of a student attending the reunion." The voice coming through the earpiece was low and steady.
Then the voice spoke again, "Signal jamming has been activated!"
The man didn't speak, and the scope moved down again.
The current captain of the Poison Fang Super Soldiers, Cheng Yong, dressed in a hotel waiter's uniform, walked quickly into the building.
After Cheng Yong entered the hotel,
the scope quickly moved back.
On the street by the Jinhao Hotel,
three unremarkable vans were parked at the hotel entrance.
And inside these unremarkable vans sat the most secret and terrifying unit of the Dragon Nation.
Poison Fang!
