But then he thought about it; he had just asked the Crow to guarantee a loan for him, and now he was discussing this matter with the Crow. A favor owed is always to be repaid, especially when it comes to the Crow.
After putting his phone back together, Bing Tianyi, feeling helpless, made a decision that he could hardly believe himself.
"You two, come with me!" Bing Tianyi said as he walked straight to Chen Tian's side.
Seeing this, Chen Tian quickly stepped forward and pulled out a half-section of steel pipe from under the bed, standing his ground to confront Bing Tianyi.
Noticing this, Bing Tianyi frowned and shouted, "Put it down!"
"Damn it, can I put it on your head instead?" Chen Tian yelled with the steel pipe in hand inside the dormitory.
At that moment, the other three students in the dormitory also began to stir, preparing to confront Bing Tianyi. Bing Tianyi thought for a moment and said directly to Chen Tian, "If you don’t want your family’s supermarket, then come at me."
Chen Tian was taken aback by the words and after a few seconds asked with a frown, "What do you mean by that?"
"My meaning is very clear. If you really want to oppose me, I can only tell you very clearly that your family’s supermarket may very well have to change its name because of this," Bing Tianyi said, looking directly at Chen Tian.
"Haha, are you messing with me?"
"To be honest, I really am messing with you," Bing Tianyi replied as he sat on the nearby bed, his eyes fixed on Chen Tian.
At this moment, Chen Tian couldn't help but recall the last incident at the supermarket. If it hadn't been for Bing Tianyi stepping in to guide them, according to his father's words, the supermarket would likely have suffered severe losses.
More importantly, Bing Tianyi had gained a reputation as a fortune teller in the county town. Now that he was saying such things, it seemed this guy definitely knew something.
Thinking of this, Chen Tian looked at Bing Tianyi and asked with a frown, "Bing Tianyi, what exactly do you know?"
"Do you really think I need to tell you everything I know?" Bing Tianyi sneered at Chen Tian.
"You better talk! If you don't say anything today, you won't be able to leave here!" Chen Tian shouted fiercely, waving the steel pipe in his hand at Bing Tianyi.
Hearing this, Bing Tianyi laughed and looked at Chen Tian with a feigned expression of helplessness. "Brother, I don't quite understand what you're saying. Whether I choose to speak or not is my own business. Do you really think you can stop me from leaving?"
After he finished speaking, Wu Zhaojun chimed in with a laugh, "Chen Tian, let me be honest with you. If we don't go downstairs in an hour, the entire first-year class will come rushing up. If that reckless guy throws you down the stairs, it would be quite a shame."
Upon hearing Wu Zhaojun's words, Bing Tianyi smiled and said to Chen Tian, "Don't believe what he says; he's trying to trick you. But as far as I know, your family's supermarket is your father's lifeline. If the supermarket goes under, your parents probably won't have the will to live anymore, right?"
Faced with Bing Tianyi's inquiry, Chen Tian's mental defenses completely crumbled. After all, he was just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old student and couldn't engage in a psychological battle with someone like Bing Tianyi who had the mindset of someone in their twenties.
After a long while, Chen Tian finally compromised. He looked at the other three students in the dormitory and said frankly, "You guys can go out."
The three of them glanced at Chen Tian and quietly asked, "Big brother, are you sure…"
Chen Tian frowned and said, "If I tell you to go out, then just go! Why so much nonsense?"
With no choice left, the three students nodded and exited the room. At that moment, Chen Tian glanced at Wu Zhaojun and the others standing next to Bing Tianyi. Seeing the situation, Bing Tianyi immediately smiled and said, "You three go rest in the dormitory; I'll come down later."
Wu Zhaojun looked at Bing Tianyi in disbelief and asked curiously, "Big brother, you're not joking, are you? You really want us to go now?"
"It's fine," Bing Tianyi replied with a smile.
Seeing the confident smile on Bing Tianyi's face, Pang Yu sighed helplessly to Wu Zhaojun, "Bro, let's just go down."
Wu Zhaojun could only nod in agreement. Once only Bing Tianyi and Chen Tian were left in the dormitory, Chen Tian stepped forward and locked the door tightly. He then asked Bing Tianyi, "Brother Bing—oh no, I should say Big Brother Bing—I'm begging you; please tell me what disaster is looming over our supermarket."
"Chen Tian, I really don't understand what you're thinking. Your parents have worked hard all their lives to build this supermarket. They've just started saving some money and are pinning all their hopes on you. But what about you? Do they know what you're doing right now? If they found out, how would they feel?" Instead of answering Chen Tian's question directly, Bing Tianyi spoke earnestly to him.
At this moment, Chen Tian was not in the mood to listen to any of this. As soon as Bing Tianyi finished speaking, Chen Tian interjected, "Brother Bing, please tell me what is going to happen at the supermarket! If you let me know, I guarantee that I will listen to you in the future!"
"There's nothing going on at your supermarket! I was just trying to scare you. However, if you continue like this at school, it won't take a year before something happens at your supermarket," Bing Tianyi said seriously to Chen Tian.
Chen Tian was taken aback and looked at Bing Tianyi with curiosity, asking, "Brother Bing, what do you mean by that?"
"It doesn't mean anything; just remember what I said. Also, since you're a student, you should focus on your studies. If you want to mess around in society, then it's better for you to leave campus early," Bing Tianyi said before getting up and walking toward the dormitory door.
Seeing this, as soon as Bing Tianyi reached the door, Chen Tian bluntly said to him, "Aren't you just like me?"
"First of all, I have nothing to fear. Secondly, even if I'm messing around at school, I can still be first in the class," Bing Tianyi replied with a mocking smile at Chen Tian.
Watching Bing Tianyi leave, Chen Tian was indeed stunned by his words. Although they were just two simple sentences, they were something that Chen Tian himself lacked.
After stepping outside, Bing Tianyi was taken aback by the scene before him. The entire hallway was filled with sophomore boys who were glaring at him while holding various items.
Just as he was about to walk outside, one of the boys from the dormitory suddenly stepped forward and stood in front of Bing Tianyi.
Seeing this, Bing Tianyi pushed open the dormitory door and smiled at Chen Tian, who was standing there in a daze. "Chen Tian, your brothers are quite united."
Upon hearing this, Chen Tian looked up at the ceiling and sighed deeply. Stepping outside and seeing the situation before him, without thinking twice, he walked up to the boy blocking Bing Tianyi's path and slapped him hard across the face while angrily shouting, "What the hell? Are you blind? Haven't you heard that good dogs don't block the way?"
"But big brother..."
"But what 'but'? From now on in our entire sophomore year, if anyone fights privately without my or Wu Zhaojun's consent, I won't let them off," Chen Tian declared firmly.
After hearing this, Bing Tianyi turned his head to look at Chen Tian and quietly said, "Thank you for your trouble, Brother Chen."
Chen Tian nodded and sternly addressed the boys in the hallway: "Make way for Brother Bing!"
The group of boys leaned against the walls on either side, all staring intently at Bing Tianyi. Bing Tianyi walked down the stairs with a firm stride, resembling a leader during a military parade.
Once downstairs, Bing Tianyi felt gratified to see that eighty percent of the First Year Class had also come out of their dorms. They stood on either side, seemingly studying, but all had hidden items behind them.
When they saw Bing Tianyi descend unscathed, the group of brothers rushed forward to ask him questions. Bing Tianyi told them directly, "Alright, go back to your dorms and rest."
After he said this, the students gathered for a moment before heading back to their dorms.
The sense of accomplishment was something Bing Tianyi felt was beyond words.
However, he knew there was still one serious problem that needed to be addressed, and it was a matter of life and death for others.
Thinking of this, after taking a sip of water back in the dormitory, Bing Tianyi smiled at Wu Zhaojun and said, "Brother, come with me."
Wu Zhaojun looked at Bing Tianyi with an incredulous expression. He thought that under such circumstances, it would be unreasonable not to get hurt. Yet Bing Tianyi had managed to avoid any injuries!
With a sense of admiration, Wu Zhaojun asked Bing Tianyi with a smile, "Who are we looking for now?"
"Peng Haifei."
"Big Brother, you don't need to take action; I can handle it." Wu Zhaojun replied confidently.
Bing Tianyi knew that Peng Haifei might meet his end soon. Out of sympathy, he told himself that he had to find a way to prevent this from happening.
If Wu Zhaojun went over now and they ended up in conflict, given the dire situation Peng Haifei was already in, if Wu Zhaojun accidentally harmed him, it would be a huge blow for both of them.
With this in mind, Bing Tianyi waved his hand and said with a smile, "I'll go instead."
Wu Zhaojun had no choice but to nod in agreement. The two arrived at Peng Haifei's dormitory. When Peng Haifei saw Bing Tianyi, he arrogantly asked, "What do you want?"
"Recently, you have been cursed by a calamity star; just avoid fighting. If you don't heed my advice and end up losing your life, it won't be worth it," Bing Tianyi said to Peng Haifei directly.
"Hey, I don't believe I'm that short-lived. What? Are you scared I'll beat you?" Peng Haifei shouted back at Bing Tianyi.
Bing Tianyi felt helpless; for someone like him, he could only say what he needed to say and not engage further.
Before Peng Haifei could finish his words, Bing Tianyi turned and walked out the door.
Peng Haifei sat on the bed with a cold smile and said, "I don't believe in this nonsense. If I don't get into a fight tonight, then I really won't have anything to say!"
The other classmates in the dormitory looked at Peng Haifei's aggressive demeanor and felt a bit worried. However, as soon as Bing Tianyi left, Peng Haifei jumped off his bed, picked up a cigarette from the floor, and began planning how to stir up trouble that night.
When Bing Tianyi returned to the dormitory and lay on his bed, he thought about Peng Haifei's expression earlier that day. His forehead was darkened, and his jaw had noticeably retracted over the past few days by almost half an inch.
More importantly, when he walked into the room, Peng Haifei's head was facing west. Considering these points, Bing Tianyi couldn't help but murmur, "Peng Haifei won't make it past noon tomorrow."
Hearing this, Wu Zhaojun and Pang Yu were surprised and asked Bing Tianyi in astonishment, "Big brother, what did you say?"
After hearing their question, Bing Tianyi sighed helplessly and said, "It's nothing. It's getting late; we have an important exam tomorrow morning. We should get some rest."
Seeing that Bing Tianyi said this, the brothers nodded in agreement. After all, they were about to face their first crucial exam as they entered high school.
