After Xie Li got the address from Yu Li, he arrived at the restaurant just in time for the climax.
Through the window, he saw the two people seated and saw the middle-aged man reach out and hold Yu Rui’s hand on the table.
Xie Li stopped, and a few seconds later he pushed the door of the restaurant and walked in with large strides.
“Welcome, for how man- Sir?”
The bewildered waiter chased after Xie Li.
But the waiter´s voice fell on deaf ears.
Xie Li merely thought, with lowered eyes, that there must be something about Yu Rui that was particularly attractive, or a whiteness so clean that it made you want to smear it, or sharpness and toughness concealed beneath the false veneer of softness and gentleness, or something else, which was why he was always bumping into sick people like himself and that middle-aged man.
Xie Li laughed as he thought about it.
The smile was unfathomable and had a grim coldness to it that frightened the waiter behind him.
The waiter took two more steps to catch up and opened his mouth to say something when he noticed the man in front of him stop and then reached with one hand for a chair next to him.
The waiter was startled.
From his years of experience in the service industry, this was a sure sign of trouble.
The waiter instinctively rushed to stop him, but before he could reach out and grab the chair or the young man could explode, another commotion came first.
“Bang!”
“Aaah!”
“!!”
The waiter looked up in shock.
At a table not far from them, a middle-aged man was pinned on the table with his arm twisted back, with a pain-filled expression and a mouth screaming in agony.
And the young man who had done all this looked sideways towards them, with a soft smile on his face.
“Uncle, I’m young and I’m just a student. I don’t mind losing my face… but you’re different. So there are some things you should think about before doing.”
After speaking, Yu Rui twisted his arm more, until he heard the man scream again before he withdrew his hand and turned around to walk away emotionlessly.
When the waiter returned to his senses, the young man had already walked past him with a furrowed brow.
The restaurant was so quiet that the only sound left was the sound of the middle-aged man groaning in pain.
The waiter looked around, only to find that the boy who had been right in front of him had also disappeared.
Leaving the restaurant, Yu Rui walked with calm eyes to where he had left his bicycle. As he walked, he couldn’t keep the disgust from his eyes as he wiped his hands quite deliberately on his pants.
He found that when he was provoked by Xie Li with those kinds of words, he only had the urge to beat him to the ground. But with this person just now, he wanted to cut him into pieces and then spray his hands with a disinfectant as it felt filthy to be touched by that man.
So, did he include Xie Li as an exception because of their previous relationship?
Yu Rui unconsciously frowned and leaned down to open the bicycle lock.
He had just bent down halfway when he straightened up again and took out his cell phone from his pocket. The screen lit up and the caller ID note made him frown.

Yu Rui took the call.
“Lfiib?”
“Te Eel, gluta? Glvc’a sbe mbwf ab rff Zg. Itjc ijra kffx? Lf tjqqfcr ab yf tfgf abvjs, mbwf bnfg.”

Yu Rui looked for the old neighborhood. Probably because it was daytime, the food stalls were all closed. Some of the stores on the sides were open, but they were deserted.
On his second visit, Yu Rui found his way up the shabby and dark staircase and followed it to the second floor.
As he passed the bar that had left a really bad impression on him, Yu Rui instinctively stopped in his tracks. Memories of that night jumped into his mind, and reminded him once again of the middle-aged man he had just met.
Yu Rui frowned and turned.
At that very moment, his body tensed slightly. After pausing for a few seconds, he slowly turned his head and looked toward the stairs he had just ascended.
Despite the daylight, the corridor was still poorly illuminated. Like the mouth of a man-eating beast, crouched silently, motionless.
Yu Rui frowned, “… an illusion?”
He turned away and paid no more attention to it, he just thought it was a hallucination because of what happened to him today or because of too many memories.
Yu Rui quickly moved forward.
There weren’t many people on the second floor, even the bar he had passed by earlier was closed. He had just taken a few steps when he saw one of the four people playing cards or mahjong get up from his chair.
The man approached with a cigarette in his mouth and put on his shoes, frowning at Yu Rui, “What are you doing here?”
Yu Rui’s eyes twitched slightly, with a soft smile and calm tone, “I came here last week, and today I got a call to come and return the money to Mr. Zhan.”
“It’s just to return the money, but you still want to see Mr. Zhan… ” The man muttered obnoxiously and threw his cards on the table, “Come with me.”
Yu Rui followed the man down the dimly lit corridor and stopped in front of a door at the back.
The door was a bit noisy. The man leading Yu Rui pricked up his ears for a few seconds before carefully approaching and knocking on the door, then opened it.
“Mr. Zhan, a young man – he looks like a student – says he wants to see you.”
Inside, silence prevailed, and after a while, a voice was heard, “Let him in.”
“Hey.” The man stepped back and indicated to Yu Rui, “You go in.” Having said that, he turned around and left.
Yu Rui pushed open the door.
The room behind the door was large, about 30 square meters, but it was also empty, with few partitions other than a few load-bearing columns.
There were a few tables scattered around the corner, and men dressed in casual clothes were sitting and standing around the tables, some playing poker and others mahjong.
The sound was not too loud, but a bit chaotic due to the large crowd.
For a moment, Yu Rui stopped by the door and scanned the room. He noticed an area a few meters away. It was the only place in the entire room that had a decent sofa, table, and cabinet.
A man was sitting on a sofa with his back to the door, and the man next to him was bending down to light his cigarette; the scene gave Yu Rui the illusion of being on a Hong Kong-style movie set about a big shot.
Yu Rui didn’t observe for long, but the man who was lighting up the cigarette straightened up and saw him, “Come here.”
Yu Rui walked over to him.
“This is Mr. Zhan.” The man pointed to the one sitting on the sofa. Then he looked down and remembered, “Mr. Zhan, this is Yu Congsheng’s son.”
Yu Rui nodded towards the man, “Mr. Zhan.”
“Hmm.” The man smoking a cigarette looked up and glanced at Yu Rui, “If you have to say something, say it.”
Yu Rui did not rush to speak but first took out an envelope from the backpack he was wearing.
He held the envelope in his hand.
“Inside is 20,000 yuan, I came to pay what is owed by Yu Congsheng.”
“… and the interest?” The man next to Mr. Zhan asked in a cold voice.
Yu Rui slightly frowned, but his smile was still polite, “Yu Congsheng is an alcoholic who only spends money and doesn’t earn it. I’m the only one in the family who has income; this 20,000 thousand is the most I can take out right now.”
“Are you trying to renege on the interest?”
“Of course not.” Yu Rui turned his head and looked at the man sitting on the sofa, “I just want to ask Mr. Zhan to be lenient, I will pay the interest in installments. If you really can’t wait, then Mr. Zhan can set conditions, as long as it is something within the law, I can do it.”
Mr. Zhan said nothing, but the man beside him sneered, “You are a brat, what can you do?”
Yu Rui said nothing, just stood with lowered eyes with an unchanging smile.
The air on this side was silent for a few seconds.
Mr. Zhan suddenly leaned forward and asked, “What if I don’t agree?”
Yu Rui’s eyes were still calmly lowered, “Then I’ll keep the money. After all, Yu Congsheng is the one who has the debt. The rest of the money will be paid with his own life.”
“!!”
Hearing these words, those sitting on the sofa and those standing next to them froze at the same time. Even the men at the table not far away, who were listening in on them, looked up in surprise.
The one who lit the cigarette balked, “How did you say you want to pay it back?”
“With Yu Congsheng’s life.” The teenager’s smile was soft, not aggressive, as if he was talking about breakfast or something else.
“If that’s the answer Mr. Zhan chooses, then please make sure to do it cleanly. If I can get rid of Yu Congsheng, I will return the rest of the interest ahead of time, even if you don’t bother by then.”
After saying these words, the surrounding area was even quieter.
Mr. Zhan, who was sitting on the sofa, said nothing and stared at Yu Rui for a while, but the young man’s face showed no ripple from his smile to his eyes.
After a few seconds of tomb-like silence, Mr. Zhan suddenly burst out laughing, “Good. Old Liu, is this the good student you told me about, why doesn’t he look like one to me?”
Old Liu, the one who lit Mr. Zhan’s cigarette earlier, snorted and wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead and smiled, “I didn’t expect it to…”
“I heard that you are a good student, and you are the Class President or a top student, right?” Mr. Zhan twisted his head to look at Yu Rui, “It’s a pity.”
The smile under Yu Rui’s eyes cooled slightly.
He didn’t know what this Mr. Zhan’s origin was, but it seemed he could easily check his background, so they should also know Yu Li’s information.
If they wanted to do something to Yu Li…
Yu Rui slightly narrowed his eyes and his fingers clenched unconsciously.
“Do you fight?”
“What?” Yu Rui was getting absent-minded when he heard Mr. Zhan’s question.
“Do you fight?” Mr. Zhan repeated slowly and melodiously.
Yu Rui’s smile didn’t change, “No.”
“No?” Mr. Zhan smiled, “You don’t even fight.”
As soon as the words left his mouth, he leaned back on the sofa and clapped his hands at the same time.
The people who had been playing cards in the corner stopped their hands, and seven or eight of them threw away the cards they were holding and got up, walking toward this area.
Yu Rui’s smile slightly stopped, “What does Mr. Zhan mean by this?”
“You dare to come alone, I don’t believe you when you say you don’t fight.” Mr. Zhan lifted his chin, “I’ll keep the money, and the interest will be paid as you said: doing something for me. But not just anyone can do what I want, fight them, it’s a test for you.”
Yu Rui was silent as the envelope containing the money was stuffed into his backpack, which he zipped and slowly wrapped around his arm.
Mr. Zhan looked on and laughed, “And you say you don’t know how to fight. I thought you would have refused at the very least.”
Yu Rui looked back at him, “Would it help if I refused?”
“No.”
The teenager lowered his eyes slightly and stepped in with a boxing stance, “Then what else is there to say?”
“…you´re kind of interesting.” Mr. Zhan let out a chuckle, and just as he looked up to signal, a sudden “bang” was heard behind him.
Everyone present froze for a moment and then turned their heads to look at the place where the sound came from…..
The door from where Yu Rui had come in had opened again, but not in a “good” way because along with the open door came the same people Yu Rui had seen at the entrance.
The one at the head of the group was the worst off, as he had sprawled on the floor and had not gotten up, with a gray imprint on his black T-shirt. The other two or three dodged and backed away, their eyes still glaring out and their faces bruised.
“What the hell is happening!” Old Liu reacted and inquired.
“Brother Liu…” The one on the ground pointed at the door, “Someone is causing trouble!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a rather tall young man leaned in from outside the door, throwing his jacket over his shoulder, with a lazy expression on his face. He paid no attention to anyone as he entered, his eyes falling on Yu Rui.
Xie Li paused for a moment and smiled.
“Good Evening, Class President.”
