Among the younger brothers of Qiangzi, Yang Qian stands out as a notable figure. However, to Bing Tianyi, what others see as exceptional, Yang Qian is truly just a fool.
The reason for this assertion is simple and can be summarized in a few points.
First, it is Yang Qian's poetic contributions to Qiangzi. Generally, whenever Qiangzi encounters a minor issue that he cannot resolve, he will have Yang Qian step in to secretly help him out. For instance, the last time they tried to deal with Bing Tianyi, it was Qiangzi who devised the plan behind the scenes, and when the opportunity arose, Yang Qian led a group of minors to attack Bing Tianyi.
If the plan had succeeded and Bing Tianyi had died, even if the police solved the case later on, only Yang Qian and his group of kids would be caught. They would willingly spend a few years in jail just to become the so-called big brothers in the future.
After all, they are just kids, and Bing Tianyi can understand this.
Secondly, there is Yang Qian's status in Qiangzi's eyes. On the surface, it seems that Qiangzi cares a lot about Yang Qian. As students, there aren't many demands placed on them. Therefore, Qiangzi often invites Yang Qian to drink and sing together. If Yang Qian needs money, Qiangzi readily gives him a thousand or eighteen hundred.
However, in reality, Yang Qian is nothing more than a mere gunman in Qiangzi's mind—dispensable!
Thirdly, regarding Yang Qian's family background, through recent observations, Bing Tianyi has learned that Yang Qian does not come from an influential family but rather from an ordinary small vendor background.
With such a family lacking strong connections, Qiangzi naturally does not need to worry about Yang Qian getting into serious trouble. If this kid really got into trouble, Qiangzi could easily settle things with money.
This is unlike some wealthy young masters from prominent families; if something were to happen to them while following Qiangzi, he knows their families would not let him off easily.
Considering these three points, it is utterly foolish for Yang Qian to be mingling with Qiangzi in society.
At this moment, facing Yang Qian's surprised inquiry, Bing Tianyi smiled calmly and said, "Don't ask me how I know. Now I ask you: do you admit it or not?"
Yang Qian fell silent upon hearing this. However, Bing Tianyi could tell from Yang Qian's expression that he was well aware of the matter he had just inquired about.
With this in mind, Bing Tianyi continued to ask, "Since you know about this, let me ask you another question. Was it really your two classmates who committed the violent assault at the construction site in the northern suburbs of the county a year ago? Were there no other individuals present?"
At this moment, beads of sweat appeared on Yang Qian's forehead, and he seemed a bit restless.
Bing Tianyi continued to question him about his illegal activities.
After a few minutes, Yang Qian suddenly spoke up, asking Bing Tianyi, "What exactly do you want to tell me?"
Seeing Yang Qian drenched in sweat and his voice trembling, Bing Tianyi maintained a serious expression and said clearly, "Yang Qian, we are of similar age, and this is a critical period where one can easily go down the wrong path. One misstep leads to another, and by the time you want to turn back, the road behind you has already been cut off. As a peer and a friend, I hope you can reconsider."
Bing Tianyi's heartfelt words made Yang Qian feel a pang of sadness.
Turning his gaze to the overcast sky, he chuckled softly and said, "You already mentioned that one misstep leads to another. If I want to turn back now, the road has already been cut off. Tell me, Bing, how should I turn back? Should I jump off the cliff that I've severed?"
Seeing the despair in Yang Qian's eyes, Bing Tianyi replied earnestly, "If you want to turn back, I can help you this time."
"You help me? Ha! Forget it. With your current abilities, it's probably hard for you to even save yourself, let alone help me," Yang Qian scoffed at Bing Tianyi.
In response, Bing Tianyi looked directly at Yang Qian and said, "You're mistaken. If you agree to help me this time, I believe Qiangzi won't be able to act so arrogantly for much longer."
"Bing, you're exceptionally capable, but I'm not as skilled as you. I'll just focus on recovering from my injuries; after that, I'll transfer schools," Yang Qian replied honestly to Bing Tianyi.
Bing Tianyi, feeling quite curious, asked, "Transfer school? Why?"
"Do you think I still need to waste my time here?"
Upon hearing this, Bing Tianyi bluntly said, "You want to run away, don't you?"
"Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Yang Qian misunderstood Bing Tianyi's meaning and coldly asked him.
Bing Tianyi then replied, "If Qiangzi gets caught, can you be sure that you'll be safe?"
Seeing Bing Tianyi say this, Yang Qian finally understood what he meant. He looked at Bing Tianyi and, after a moment of silence, asked, "Why don't you go find someone else?"
"I'm the same age as you, and besides, I think it would be really unfair if you ended up going in," Bing Tianyi said earnestly.
Seeing the expression on Bing Tianyi's face, Yang Qian smiled helplessly and said, "Unfair? If I go in, I honestly wouldn't feel unfair at all."
As Yang Qian spoke, a hint of sadness suddenly flickered in his eyes.
In many ways, Yang Qian was just a young man of seventeen or eighteen. Since he started mingling in society until now, he had done too many wrong things. Ever since he followed Qiangzi, he often had nightmares where the people he had beaten were always ready to kill him with knives.
He couldn't tell anyone about these things; he could only bury them deep in his heart.
Now he never expected that what he thought was foolproof would still be discovered by others. At this rate, it seemed inevitable that one day he would be taken away by the police.
Just as Yang Qian was deep in thought, Bing Tianyi stood up and said, "Think it over. If possible, I just want you to help me testify."
After saying this, Bing Tianyi turned and walked out.
Nan Hao quickly stepped forward and asked Bing Tianyi directly, "Brother Bing, how's the situation?"
Seeing Yang Qian's girlfriend present, Bing Tianyi didn't say much. Just then, he noticed a few girls laughing brightly in the distance, which caught his attention.
Looking up, he was surprised to see Su Yumeng, the girl from the vocational school he had met last time at KTV, coming towards him with several other girls.
When these girls saw Bing Tianyi, they all stopped and gestured to Su Yumeng.
Su Yumeng looked up at Bing Tianyi and shouted loudly in the hallway, "President Bing, you actually come to places like this?"
At that moment, Bing Tianyi's mind was filled with the image of Su Yumeng throwing tissue paper on the table; her boldness surpassed even Chen Qian's.
Seeing Su Yumeng shout, Bing Tianyi quickly approached her with a smile and said, "Dimple Girl, long time no see! How have you been?"
"Don't give me that. I want to ask you something. Did you injure Yang Qian?" Dimple Girl looked at Bing Tianyi with her head held high.
Bing Tianyi sighed and replied with a helpless smile, "Sort of."
"What do you mean 'sort of'? Are you even a man? Just tell me clearly whether you hurt him or not," Su Yumeng shouted at Bing Tianyi with an air of arrogance.
Bing Tianyi glanced at Su Yumeng and smiled, asking, "So what if it is? And what if it isn't?"
"If it is, I want to challenge you tonight. If it isn't, I'll treat you to drinks tonight," Su Yumeng said with a smile, though her eyes still revealed a hint of fierceness.
Seeing this cute yet mischievous girl, Bing Tianyi felt like playing along. Once Su Yumeng finished speaking, he quickly replied with a grin, "Sounds good! I'm curious about how you plan to challenge me. Is it on the arena or on the ground?"
In response to Bing Tianyi's teasing, Su Yumeng revealed her dimples and straightforwardly said, "I'm worried you can't handle it in the arena, so let's do it on the ground."
"Alright, I admit that Yang Qian was beaten by me," Bing Tianyi stated clearly.
Su Yumeng nodded with a smile and then seriously told the girls around her, "Did you hear that? Brother Yang was indeed beaten by this guy. Gather the brothers tonight; we'll meet at the foot of Nanshan."
Bing Tianyi was amused by the antics of these kids and actually considered helping Yang Qian get revenge.
He glanced at Nan Hao, who was secretly laughing beside him, and then asked, "Nan Hao, do you think I should accept the challenge?"
"Brother Bing, what's so fun about messing with these kids?" Nan Hao replied with a wry smile.
Just as he finished speaking, Su Yumeng stepped forward and stared at Nan Hao, asking, "Uncle, who do you think you are? I'm challenging Brother Bing; are you trying to pick a fight by butting in?"
Nan Hao never expected this girl to be so bold as to want to confront him.
Hearing this, Bing Tianyi couldn't help but laugh inwardly. He thought to himself that Nan Hao really didn't know how fearless young people could be!
Thinking of this, Bing Tianyi looked at Su Yumeng in front of him and smiled, saying, "You heard it, our brother said we can't play with you kids, so we won't play."
Su Yumeng didn't engage with Bing Tianyi and stepped forward to approach Nan Hao, asking clearly, "Are you looking for trouble? So, are you coming tonight or not? If not, you'll have to face the consequences."
Nan Hao was speechless; he really felt defeated.
After Su Yumeng finished speaking, Bing Tianyi stepped forward and said with a smile, "Alright, if we're playing, then we'll both come tonight."
Unexpectedly, Su Yumeng still seemed unwilling and looked at Bing Tianyi, saying boldly, "You two are coming? With just one spit from each of us, we could drown you."
"It's fine; I actually enjoy tasting a beautiful girl's spit," Bing Tianyi replied candidly.
Su Yumeng nodded coldly, glanced at Bing Tianyi with disdain in her eyes, and then turned to leave.
As the two left with Nan Hao, Bing Tianyi asked with a smile, "So, are we going tonight or not?"
"Forget it. If the two of us go over there and cause some trouble, it would just be pointless," Nan Hao said with lingering fear. After all, they were just kids; fighting them was like playing around. Could they not be knocked down with one punch?
However, Bing Tianyi knew that if they didn't go tonight, those girls might cause a scene at their company. Thinking of this, Bing Tianyi smiled at Nan Hao and said, "Don't worry; I have a way to make those girls completely submit to us tonight."
Nan Hao inquired further, and Bing Tianyi smiled meaningfully. The two then headed towards the second floor of the hospital.
