Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Jiang Cheng? Hmph, I will make sure he has a one-way trip!
Translator: 549690339
On the morning of Sun Yuan’s academic advancement banquet on the 25th.
Tang Qian sent a communication talisman to Lin Yao.
“Hello? Yaoyao?”
“Yes, I’m here.”
Hearing Lin Yao’s voice through the communication talisman, Tang Qian couldn’t help but feel a hint of confusion.
In her impression, Lin Yao was the type of woman who seemed gentle but was actually proud, arrogant, and spiteful.
Therefore, Lin Yao’s voice was usually light and brimming with energy, quite similar to her personality, and not like now, gentle and with a bit of… determination?
Is this still Lin Yao?
“Are you really Lin Yao?”
“Yes. What’s up?”
“Oh, nothing, I just wanted to ask if you’re going to Sun Yuan’s banquet at noon?”
“Sun Yuan?”
“Yeah, he’s Jiang Cheng’s cousin, didn’t you know? Zhou Yiwen and I plan to join in the fun too, after all, we’re classmates, and there’s nothing much to do during summer vacation anyway. The place is at Weishou Restaurant. Are you coming?”
“I…”
Hearing the obvious trembling in Lin Yao’s voice through the communication talisman, Tang Qian smiled knowingly.
She knew that Lin Yao must have taken the bait.
After a moment of hesitation.
“I will go,” Lin Yao said.
“Great, great, then we’ll meet there, I’m going to hang up now.”
Tang Qian ended the communication talisman and gestured to Zhou Yiwen and the others not far away.
Zhou Yiwen immediately smiled and said, “Alright, our drama’s leading lady is ready, just waiting for the leading man to make his entrance!”
Chen Shuai laughed, “Ha ha, Jiang Cheng, what leading man? He’s just a clown added for laughs.”
Among the members of the Anti-Jiang Cheng Alliance, Yue Ping, due to his change of heart, was still relatively rational.
“Let’s not get too excited too early, it would be bad if something unexpected happens along the way and the effect isn’t as good as we anticipated.”
Chen Shuai said, “There are more than a dozen of us, in perfect harmony, working closely together, each playing to their strengths, comparing with Jiang Cheng in our areas of expertise. What could possibly go wrong?”
“Exactly. Do you mean to say that all of us together are still not a match for Jiang Cheng alone?”
“My cousin is good buddies with Sun Yuan in the same class. A communication talisman to him, and Jiang Cheng’s information is all in our hands!”
“Jiang Cheng? Hmph, we’ll make sure he won’t be able to return after he comes!”
“Alright, alright.” Seeing disagreement within the alliance, Zhou Yiwen, the leader, immediately stepped forward to smooth things over.
Yue Ping was an extremely important member of the Anti-Jiang Cheng Alliance.
Without Yue Ping, the rest couldn’t ensure they would surpass Jiang Cheng in academic talent.
Only with Yue Ping’s high exam scores, safely entering a key university of the Immortal Sect.
Zhou Yiwen said, “Let’s review the plan one last time, then head back home, and meet at Weishou Restaurant at noon. No problems, right?”
“No problem.”
“I don’t have any problems.”
“Neither do I.”
Seeing his brothers united with no issues, Zhou Yiwen began to elaborate on the plan they’d discussed long ago.
Zhou Yiwen: “Zhao You, you have connections with Sun Yuan’s friends, you’re in charge of informing us of Jiang Cheng’s location.”
“Alright.”
Zhou Yiwen: “Bao Jun, Song Zhang, you guys are good at body refinement, agile and quick. Once Jiang Cheng gets near the restaurant’s entrance, act immediately. You can’t let him enter in clean clothes. But don’t get his entire outfit dirty either; if you do, he’ll definitely go back home to change.”
“Alright.”
“Understood.”
Zhou Yiwen: “Chen Shuai, it’s up to you once Jiang Cheng has entered and taken his seat.”
Chen Shuai confidently smiled and said, “Don’t worry, my dad is the head of the Forestry Bureau. Not just Jiang Cheng, even his maternal uncle Sun Qing has to show me some respect. When I mock Jiang Cheng later, he will definitely be so ashamed that he can’t lift his head.”
Zhou Yiwen instructed: “Remember to steer the conversation towards academics, which is the only area where Jiang Cheng is somewhat decent.”
Chen Shuai: “Consider it done.”
Zhou Yiwen: “Once the topic shifts to academics, it’s time for our brother Yue Ping to take the stage.”
Yue Ping said: “At that time, I’ll just say a few modest words with hidden barbs, and Jiang Cheng will certainly be unable to respond, ending up humiliating himself.”
Zhou Yiwen nodded again and finally said: “As for the rest of you, especially Wang Ze, since you are the class monitor of Jiang Cheng’s class, look for an opportunity to gather a few brothers to stand behind Jiang Cheng. Liu Ting, as the monitor of Class Four, you take the rest and stand behind Chen Shuai and Yue Ping. Once Jiang Cheng and Yue Ping, Chen Shuai confront each other, you all start to stir things up, it would be best if you could provoke Jiang Cheng into throwing the first punch.”
At this point, everyone showed a knowing smile.
If Jiang Cheng ends up fighting at his cousin’s promotion banquet and we handle it properly, we might even get him to “have tea” for a few days.
If things end up this way, Jiang Cheng will truly lose face.
Zhou Yiwen concluded: “Dong Qian’s dad is an arrest officer of the Six Fan Gate. With his connections, you don’t have to worry about getting into trouble for fighting. When you’ve fought enough, I’ll step in to settle the bill for the whole place, help Jiang Cheng clean up the mess, quell the anger, and then treat everyone to food and drinks at Huafu.”
“Great!”
Does everyone have it clear? If there are no issues, then let’s all go home and meet up at Weishou Restaurant at noon!”
After dispersing, Tang Qian walked over from not far away.
“Yiwen, you’re so cool,” Tang Qian said, hugging Zhou Yiwen’s arm.
Zhou Yiwen smiled and said, “You go back too. We’ll meet at the restaurant at noon.”
Tang Qian was not very happy as she wanted to go home with Zhou Yiwen sooner to confirm their relationship. Zhou Yiwen always dragged it out, not allowing her to meet Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou.
“Yiwen, aren’t you taking me home today?”
“Next time for sure. I have to go home now.”
Zhou Yunshan and Miao Xue didn’t really supervise Zhou Yiwen much, so he could go out whenever he wanted. However, he still had to show respect to his parents on the surface and let them know when he was going out to play.
As noon approached, Zhou Yiwen said, “Mom and Dad, I’m going to a friend’s little brother’s promotion banquet.”
Miao Xue asked curiously, “What does your friend’s little brother’s promotion banquet have to do with you? Which friend is it that’s so close to you?”
Zhou Yiwen casually replied, “It’s Jiang Cheng from the class next to mine.”
Zhou Yunshan nearly choked to death on his tea. “Cough cough cough cough!”
“Dad, take it easy with the tea.”
Zhou Yunshan didn’t even bother to wipe his mouth before directly asking, “Jiang Da… cough… that kid, is he from the class next to yours in high school?”
“Ah, yeah. What’s up, dad?”
“Nothing, nothing, just where are you guys eating?”
“Weishou Restaurant.”
“Oh, Weishou, that’s nice. It seems like a friend of mine owns it.”
Hearing this, Zhou Yiwen couldn’t help but feel proud.
Having friends throughout Wuyue — that’s the power of their Zhou Family!
“Dad, then I’ll be heading over.”
“Sure, go ahead,” Zhou Yunshan gestured with his hand.
“This little rascal is going out to play again. Last time, I told him to bring his girlfriend home, but I don’t know if he still remembers,” Miao Xue complained.
Zhou Yunshan didn’t care much about Zhou Yiwen’s girlfriend matters.
What he was thinking about now was that this promotion banquet seemed like an opportunity to win favor with Master Jiang.
The maximum power of the Fishing Talisman had been problematic, and Lu Benwei eventually removed the maximum power setting altogether. Even though he could still catch big fish that way, it just wasn’t as satisfying.
Now Fishing Talismans were found everywhere in Wuyue, and there were even quite a few modified versions that were nearly as good as those in his possession, making him feel no sense of achievement in fishing anymore.
If he could make Master Jiang happy at this promotion banquet, is there a chance Master Jiang would take action again and draw a more powerful Fishing Talisman?
One that’s specifically designed for catching rare things!
