Brother, I was wrong, truly wrong!
Song Xu wore a look of agony and immediately surrendered on the spot.
He had thought it would be a simple matter to deal with a high school student, and as a university student, he expected an easy victory. But he never anticipated such an outcome.
"Now, take me to Kyoto South Station. Any problems?"
Chen Shu’s gaze fell upon the driver. Seizing the opportunity, he landed another punch on Song Xu.
"Brother Liu, take him!" Song Xu tilted his head back, looking thoroughly disheveled.
The driver had no choice but to drive Chen Shu to the train station.
The streets bustled with activity, but the car was enveloped in silence.
Soon, the driver pulled up to the train station.
"A trash-tier fighter is actually masquerading as a bandit now?"
Before leaving, Chen Shu unleashed another barrage of blows. Wails of pain echoed from the car, causing it to shake and drawing strange glances from passersby.
He felt a significant sense of relief and strode away.
"The mission failed. This kid is too ruthless."
Song Xu sighed, still unable to comprehend how Chen Shu had seen through his deception.
He had originally planned to wait until the car reached a secluded spot before making his move, but instead, he was utterly thrashed.
Chen Shu took out his phone and dialed Fang Si.
"Hello, Sister Fang Si! Be careful, Su Han has sent people for revenge."
Fang Si's voice carried a hint of anxiety. "Are you alright?"
"Of course, I'm fine. I'm heading back to Nanjiang City. You and Da Li should be careful."
After a brief exchange, they hung up.
Fang Si showed no worry. As long as Chen Shu could leave safely, nothing else mattered.
As for Zhang Da Li, he spent most of his time at the academy. Su Han wouldn't dare cause trouble at the country's top culinary university.
As for herself, she paid Su Han no mind at all.
Chen Shu boarded the train without incident and departed the bustling city.
"A year from now, I will return," Chen Shu murmured, a longing in his eyes.
"You didn't catch him?"
Su Han's expression turned icy, and the glass in his hand shattered.
"Young Master Su, allow me to explain!"
Song Xu spoke with panic.
"You can't even handle a high school student. What use are you?!" Su Han said coldly. "Go to the company and clean toilets for six months!"
Song Xu looked dejected and left the room.
"I'm a university student, and I'm being sent to scrub toilets!"
Su Han sighed. He had intended to capture Chen Shu, strip him, put a urea bag on him, and dump him on the street.
He hadn't expected Song Xu, who was known for his martial arts prowess, to fail.
That day on Taiqing Mountain, Su Han had been woken up by the cold, wearing only a pair of pink underpants and a urea bag.
The mere thought of that moment made him want to crash his head against a wall. As a genius from Huaxia Academy, he hadn't done what Chen Shu had imagined,
either descending the mountain in pink underpants or a urea bag.
He had made a decisive choice, pulling the urea bag over his head and sprinting down the mountain.
Though the experience was humiliating, at least no one saw his face.
However, a trending topic appeared online: "Urea-clad Savage Appears on Taiqing Mountain! Wearing Pink Underpants Too!"
Driver Old Liu, trying to be helpful, asked, "Young Master Su, how did that kid manage to offend you?"
"You and Song Xu go clean toilets together!"
Su Han waved his hand, clearly annoyed, and no longer harbored any thoughts of Chen Shu or Zhang Da Li.
His opponent was only Fang Si!
As long as he could become a Silver-ranked Beast Tamer, he would surely get his revenge!
A day passed.
Chen Shu returned to Nanjiang City. Looking at the familiar buildings around him, he felt a sense of relief.
"Your Nanjiang Bandit is back!"
Standing in front of the train station, Chen Shu shouted loudly, dispelling some of his homesickness.
People around him gave him strange looks.
A few minutes later, as Chen Shu was about to hail a taxi home, he was suddenly stopped.
"Police?"
Chen Shu looked bewildered, not understanding what he had done wrong. "No way, Officer, I just got back from Kyoto."
The police officer said sternly, "The Nanjiang Bandit, is that you?"
Chen Shu was speechless. "The response time is this fast?"
He explained, "I was just joking, Officer. I'm a student from Nanjiang Second High School. Here's my ID."
After verifying his identification, the police let him go.
Chen Shu hailed a taxi and began his journey home.
He suddenly sighed, thinking that school would start in two days, and felt a pang of sadness.
Starting school meant losing his freedom to squat whenever he pleased.
As the car was driving, the taxi driver suddenly stopped.
"Little brother, is it okay if I pick up another passenger?" the driver asked.
"If it's on the way, then yes," Chen Shu replied, not paying much mind.
The car stopped, and he happened to glimpse the young man preparing to get in.
The person wore glasses, had a refined appearance, and fair skin. Seeing Chen Shu looking, he offered a shy smile.
He seemed like a shy student, but the key was the building behind him.
Nanjiang City Mental Hospital!
The young man was wearing a white shirt, but in his hand, he held a blue and white striped outfit, clearly clothing for mental patients.
Chen Shu instinctively moved further away, even wanting to move to the front seat.
In this day and age, the tough feared the reckless, the reckless feared those who courted death, and those who courted death feared the mentally ill.
Clearly, the mentally ill were at the top of the food chain, and Chen Shu was at the very bottom.
The young man seemed to sense something and smiled gently, "I'm doing research at the mental hospital."
"Oh." Chen Shu felt a wave of relief.
It seemed he had overthought things. After all, how could a patient leave the hospital so casually?
Chen Shu smiled, "You look about my age, I didn't expect you'd already be doing research."
"By the way, what kind of research are you doing?"
"Being researched."
Chen Shu's spirit jolted. "Driver! I want to get out of the car!"
"Forget it. Being researched means you're a mental patient, right?"
The young man grabbed Chen Shu's sleeve and said, "No, I'm a student, just a summer job!"
"A summer job? A summer job as a mental patient? The industries these days are truly blooming in all directions, aren't they?"
Chen Shu shook off his hand, a look of panic on his face.
Although his thought process was different from ordinary people, it should still be considered normal. Meeting a truly mentally ill person naturally made him scared.
"Brother, I'm really a student, just earning some extra cash!" The young man held Chen Shu tightly and said to the driver, "Driver, weld the doors shut. No one is getting out today."
"You're genuinely ill," Chen Shu said helplessly.
"Aren't I afraid you'll run off? If you don't pay, won't the driver blame me?"
Despite his refined appearance, the young man possessed considerable strength.
The two struggled, and ultimately, Chen Shu couldn't get out of the car. The driver, worried Chen Shu would flee without paying, didn't stop along the way.
"Alright, alright! I lost! I lost!"
Chen Shu mentally cursed his bad luck. Today had been utterly bizarre.
First, he encountered two clowns sent by Su Han, then he was questioned by the police, and on the way home, he met a mental patient.
Half an hour later,
Chen Shu sighed and said, "I've arrived. Can I get out now?"
The driver finally stopped the car. Chen Shu paid the fare and prepared to get out.
"Brother, my name is Xu Xingxing. Let's get acquainted. Maybe we'll meet again."
"Forget it. I never want to see you again in my life."
Chen Shu opened the car door and ran back to his residential complex.
