"We're already at the school gate, what's up?"
"Zhou Hong, the 'Three Great Ruffians' are waiting for you at the School of Economics. I don't know who leaked the news that you'd be coming today. The Three Great Ruffians have been waiting for you there since early this morning. Plus, a lot of students from other departments are also there to watch the fun," Liu Hua said on the phone. He had already arrived at the classroom ahead of Zhou Hong.
"Oh..." Zhou Hong responded with an "oh" and hung up the phone, driving quickly towards the School of Economics.
About seven or eight minutes later, Zhou Hong arrived at the School of Economics.
As expected, many students from other departments were walking around the teaching building of the School of Economics.
"Zhou Hong is here! That's Zhou Hong's car." Just then, someone suddenly shouted.
It was similar to the scene last time when the 'Five Great Young Lords' ganged up to deal with Zhou Hong.
He hadn't expected another similar scene to appear, this time with the 'Three Great Ruffians'.
"Sigh, these people never get tired, but I'm already tired of it," Zhou Hong chuckled helplessly. The exact same scene was playing out again. If this were a novel, the readers would definitely curse the author to death, thinking, "Trash Liu Jiangnan, can't you arrange some different plot? Why is there another scene of the protagonist being dealt with by the Five Great Young Lords simultaneously?"
Zhou Hong didn't say anything more, smiling as he got out of the car.
At this moment, three young men walked towards Zhou Hong from not too far away.
Without needing to guess, they were undoubtedly the top three among the "Four Great Ruffians," named Cao Xiulang, Duan Jingang, and Pang Qingtian.
Zhou Hong felt a surge of anger. Being bothered by these small ants all the time was getting rather tiresome. Today, he might as well show them some real strength.
"Zhou Hong, you've finally arrived," the first ruffian to approach said with a cold snort.
"Which one are you? Cao Pig Lang, Duan Monkey, or Pang Crab?" Zhou Hong asked the first youth who approached.
The youth's expression changed drastically upon hearing Zhou Hong's insolent tone. Many onlookers were also secretly shocked.
"Screw you, Zhou Hong! Who gave you the guts to call me Duan Monkey?" the second man who approached roared.
"Heh, so you must be the Duan Jingang then," Zhou Hong said with a smile.
"Zhou Hong, didn't you claim in my little bamboo grove before that you would turn us, the Three Great Ruffians, into model students? Come on, try and do it," the third youth who approached said with a cold snort.
"Hahaha, it seems that you three are Cao Pig Lang, Duan Monkey, and this one here is Pang Crab," Zhou Hong laughed heartily, having deduced their names from their words.
"Gentlemen, who shall make the first move?" asked Cao Xiulang, looking at the second and third ruffians.
"Whatever. If you want to go first, then you can," the second and third ruffians replied indifferently.
"Alright, then I'll make the first move. Today, I will show everyone how I deal with this ignorant young man. Xiulang, Xiulang – no one can act rashly in front of me." With that, Cao Xiulang quickly moved in front of Zhou Hong.
The onlookers watched intently, as if afraid of missing a single exciting moment.
"Cao Pig Lang, how do you plan to deal with me?" Zhou Hong asked dismissively.
"Zhou Hong, don't rush. You'll know soon enough. When I, Cao Xiulang, don't act, it's one thing, but once I act, it's always astonishing. You probably don't know what astonishing things I've done before."
"I don't know, and I don't want to know. But I also want to do something astonishing right now." Zhou Hong finished speaking and, too lazy to waste any more words, instantly grabbed Cao Xiulang's hair.
Cao Xiulang was startled. It wasn't until his scalp began to hurt that he realized Zhou Hong had grabbed his hair.
The second and third ruffians seemed stunned to see Zhou Hong so easily grab Cao Xiulang's hair.
"Zhou Hong, how could you...!" the second and third ruffians asked in panicked shock.
"Hmph, didn't you say I was hiding outside for a week? Well, I'll tell you, I wasn't hiding for the past week. I was training. I have now broken through to the tenth level of the Martial Apprentice realm."
"What?" Hearing Zhou Hong's words, the second and third ruffians were startled.
The first ruffian, whose hair was being held by Zhou Hong, was also completely caught off guard. No wonder Zhou Hong had grabbed his hair so easily, and he hadn't even had time to react. It turned out he had already reached the tenth level of the Martial Apprentice realm.
At this moment, the crowd of onlookers also found it hard to believe. A week ago, he was only at the seventh level, and now, after only a week, he claimed to have reached the tenth level.
"Cao Xiulang, open your mouth and welcome the morning dew," Zhou Hong roared.
"Wow." In the next second, some of the students in the crowd suddenly gasped. Some female students, however, let out a scream, as if they had seen something they shouldn't have.
Not far from Zhou Hong, standing among the crowd, was a woman. This woman was none other than Shen Yanran.
At this moment, Shen Yanran quickly turned away, her face flushed. She had never expected Zhou Hong to do something like that.
"Holy cow!" Some of the male students in the crowd felt they couldn't handle it anymore. This was too intense.
"Ahhhh!" Cao Xiulang, whose head was being held by Zhou Hong, struggled desperately. However, unfortunately, no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free.
"Tsk tsk!" Some people watched this scene and couldn't help but click their tongues, thinking to themselves, how would Cao Xiulang ever face anyone again? However, no one sympathized, especially the girls, because Cao Xiulang had once dragged a freshman girl into the woods during the opening ceremony. Now, under everyone's watchful eyes, he was being subjected to the same humiliation by Zhou Hong. It could be considered well-deserved.
However, the crowd couldn't help but feel a sense of fear towards Zhou Hong. It turned out that he was the true "First Ruffian."
"Hahaha!" Half a minute later, Zhou Hong burst into laughter and let go of Cao Xiulang, throwing him several meters away, almost to the point of killing him.
"Owww...!" After landing, Cao Xiulang ignored the pain and immediately gagged, wanting to vomit.
Zhou Hong had not pulled his zipper back up immediately, so everyone saw it. Many students in the crowd were secretly shocked. It turned out that what Zhou Hong had written in his love letter last time was true; that thing really made everyone scream. At this moment, the girls watching were too scared to look.
Zhou Hong's eyes turned to the second and third ruffians, and he said with a cold snort, "It's your turn, but we'll do it differently."
"You!" The second and third ruffians felt a chill of fear.
