Chapter Ninety-Nine: Friend or Foe?
I don't know why, every time I see Gu Lei asking questions in front of Cheng Xiaoyu, I have a strange feeling in my heart.
I said what it was like, but in short, I was very uncomfortable and wanted to hit someone.
But seeing that Cheng Xiaoyu didn't have any disgust with this shy boy, I was helpless.
It's right that I'm protecting Cheng Xiaoyu, but I won't interfere in her life, and if I interfere, it will be no different from the bodyguards who made her extremely rejected before.
She has the right to make friends and know people on her own, and others can approach her as long as she wants, unless others want to hurt her.
Therefore, even if I feel uncomfortable, I have no right to say anything about Gu Lei's behavior, unless Cheng Xiaoyu asks me to make a move.
Every time I look at him, it is always Gu Lei's harmless shy face that responds to me.
I don't know if it's because he's too introverted, which made me have a delusion that this kid is pretending on purpose, but if that's really the case, how can a teenage student have such deep scheming, and what is his purpose?
Of course, this thought was only a momentary thought in my mind, but it didn't prevent me from being wary of him.
"Hey, new kid, come out and down. During recess, two boys patted Gu Lei's desk.
I know these two people, they are the younger brother of Wang Wen, the first grade tyrant, they also tried to trouble me when I first came, but then I cleaned up Zhou Shanshan's cousin Black Tiger and a group of people, and they never troubled me again.
But just because you don't dare to mess with me doesn't mean you don't dare to mess with others.
Now that Gu Lei is a newcomer who looks honest and weak, it is not surprising that Wang Wen and his group are ready to act again.
After all, there are a few people who come here who are clear about the family, and they can extort some pocket money casually, which is enough for Wang Wen and his group to squander it once.
After Gu Lei saw the two of them, he was obviously stunned, then stood up and followed the two out reluctantly.
During this period, I kept staring at Gu Lei's eyes, and what I saw was indeed the doubts and panic that an ordinary person should have.
Is it my own delusion? Gu Lei really has no problem?
I asked myself again and again in my mind.
I pressed my temples and told myself not to get carried away by jealousy and blame the good guys.
And at this moment, Wang Wen and his two subordinates just took Gu Lei out of the classroom.
Although I had known about Wang Wen's routine, I still released my spiritual sense to 'watch' their every move.
I saw Gu Lei being taken by Wang Wen and them to a staircase where no one was around.
It's a very remote place, and there are some debris piled up in the corner of the wall, which is covered with dust, which shows that even the school cleaners don't come here often.
"Classmate, borrow some money to spend. Wang Wenpi put Gu Lei against the corner without smiling, one of his subordinates followed him and laughed evilly on the side, and the other subordinate was responsible for controlling the wind.
Wang Wen took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and his subordinates hurriedly lit it for him, looking like a black and astringent boss.
Gu Lei looked at this posture, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that Wang Wen was collecting protection money from him, he was already weak and timid, but now he was even more nervous, his head was almost buried in his chest, and his palms were also dripping with sweat.
I smiled.
I'm going to see how you cope.
To be honest, I'm very curious about this weak boy, whether his weakness is pretended or real, I want to see what he will do in the face of Wang Wen's practice of collecting protection money.
Sure enough, it seemed to know my thoughts, Wang Wen saw that Gu Lei was facing his strong 'borrowing money', not only did he not speak, but lowered his head, a little annoyed.
I originally thought that Wang Wen was a scheming person, because after seeing me clean up the Black Tiger group, he made a very rational choice not to provoke me again.
From this, it can be seen that he is a person who knows how to judge the situation.
But he's a student after all, and when he sees me showing strength, he might be concerned, because that's on the bright side.
But when he encounters a weak person like Gu Lei, he can't be patient, because in his opinion, such a person must be easy to bully, because he has no background to be so cowardly.
So when he saw that although Gu Lei lowered his head in fear, but ignored himself at all, Wang Wen was both a little angry and a little proud.
Angry, naturally Gu Lei dared to ignore himself, and he was proud of Gu Lei's fear of himself, which made him very satisfied, after all, Wang Wen and his group were not short of money at all, and the protection fee was just to show their hegemony.
In the past few days at this school, I have naturally learned a little bit about what I should or shouldn't know.
"your grandma, do you dare to ignore me?" Wang Wen took advantage of the topic, the smile on his face suddenly turned into anger, and he grabbed Gu Lei's neckline when he went up.
This is the old trick of Wang Wen and a group of them, don't do it directly, come first to intimidate, if you can intimidate the best, you don't get it for nothing, you can't be scared, and it's not too late for the opponent.
Sure enough, this trick is not generally useful for the weak Gu Lei, even if he can't see Wang Wen's face when he lowers his head, but when he hears Wang Wen's angry and gloomy voice, he is instantly afraid.
He touched his hand in his pocket, took out a wad of money, about four or five thousand, and handed it to Wang Wen tremblingly.
"Give, give you ......"
Seeing the money handed over by Gu Lei, Wang Wen was instantly happy, took the money, and reached out to pat Gu Lei's face.
"It's really good, you can follow Brother Wen in the future. After speaking, he spat out a puff of smoke to Gu Lei, and left with his subordinates satisfied.
And Gu Lei, from beginning to end, said such a sentence, until Wang Wen and the others walked away, he raised his head in horror and looked in the direction where Wang Wen and the others disappeared.
I thought it was over, and I thought it was over.
Suddenly, the corners of Gu Lei's mouth seemed to rise, a trace of cunning that had succeeded in his eyes flashed, and the momentum on his body changed in vain, and he was like two people who had just been weak.
Then he returned to his usual appearance, looking timid and cautious.
Is this a delusion? No, if it were the eyes, I might have doubted it, but now that I'm observing with my spiritual sense, I'm sure it's not wrong.
So, what do you want to do, my lovely new classmate?
I withdrew my spiritual sense, and casually flipped through the boring book, the solemnity that had just been inadvertently revealed vanished in an instant, and the cynical calm on my face returned.
If you want to play, then play with you, I just don't know, your purpose is me and Cheng Xiaoyu, or something else, is it friend or foe?
After Wang Wen and the others received the protection money from Gu Lei, they went to the toilet, it should have been to drain the wastewater, but Gu Lei walked into the classroom with his head down, an unwilling face, but helpless.
Sitting in the back seat of him, he didn't say a word, like a vulnerable group who was bullied by a bully but couldn't resist.
If I hadn't just 'seen' everything with my spiritual sense, I would have almost believed it.
What is your purpose?
To be honest, I really don't want to be an enemy of this unpredictable person.
However, if you're playing against me, then go ahead, if you just have extraordinary forbearance, it's not enough, I hope you have other means.
"Are you okay?" Cheng Xiaoyu also noticed Gu Lei's aggrieved look, and took the initiative to talk to this boy who had never said a word in the class except for her.
Seeing that Wang Wen's subordinates called Gu Lei out, she naturally knew the virtues of Wang Wen and his party, and her favorite thing to do was to bully newcomers.
Gu Lei shook his head and did not speak.
Cheng Xiaoyu didn't ask anymore and turned around.
It's so special!
I sighed in my heart.
