Chapter Eighty-Five: Timing, Location, and Human Factors
After another round of drinks, Zhang Qiu continued, "Let me analyze the current situation between us and Liu Xiaolong. On the surface, it seems that we are gradually becoming the stronger side, while Liu Xiaolong has become the weaker one. However, even a dying centipede does not fall over easily. Liu Xiaolong's influence still exists; he has merely lost his powerful backing in Wang Guodong."
"On our side, our strength hasn't increased; it's still just us. The only change is that my uncle has replaced Wang Guodong as Police Chief. Although both are chiefs, they are not the same. Wang Guodong could use his power for personal gain and act as a shield for Liu Xiaolong, but my uncle won't do that. I've mentioned before that he is a very principled police officer, and now that he has reached the position of chief, it won't be of much help to us."
"Even if your uncle doesn't help you, his subordinates will still assist you," Yang Yu suddenly interjected. He had more insight into societal matters than these privileged youths.
Zhang Qiu nodded and smiled, "Yang Yu is right; we can still benefit from this. However, everyone must remember to be cautious in all actions. My caution isn't about being timid; it's about being fully prepared before taking action."
"Got it, Brother Qiu," everyone replied in unison.
"Just listen; there's no need to be so serious. Come on, let's have another toast!" Zhang Qiu raised his glass again, and everyone stood up to clink their glasses together, splashing wine everywhere before downing it in one go.
Zhang Qiu ate a string bean to wash away the taste of alcohol and continued, "The current situation is this: the law has shifted from favoring Liu Xiaolong to being equal for everyone before the law. The best strategy is to use others' strengths against them. Between us and Liu Xiaolong, whoever breaks the law will be caught!"
Gao Zhi asked from the side, "Brother Qiu, do you mean we should find a way to use the law to punish Liu Xiaolong?"
Zhang Qiu laughed, "Of course! That's the best approach. Are we supposed to go fight him? Let's not forget that we are about to take our college entrance exams."
Wang Zhengxiang then asked, "Brother Qiu, what about Zeng Fan? What are your plans regarding him?"
Zhang Qiu had considered this issue as well. The biggest threat wasn't Liu Xiaolong but rather Zeng Fan. After all, Zhang Qiu spent most of his time at school. As the leader of the senior year and an ally of Liu Xiaolong, along with the previous conflict between Zhang Qiu and Wang Zhen, their differences had become irreconcilable.
"I will arrange for a few brothers to continue protecting Brother Qiu here," Yang Yu said from the side.
Zhang Qiu lowered his head against the chair, remaining silent. He could feel everyone's intense gaze focused on him, all waiting for him to come up with an idea. After a long pause, Zhang Qiu raised his head, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, and slowly said, "I want to establish my own organization at Beiluan No. 1 High School."
Qiu Wan, everyone was momentarily stunned and did not react. Only Yang Yu understood Zhang Qiu's intention and extended his hand, saying, "Brother Qiu, I fully support you. The position of the leader at Beiluan No. 1 High School should be yours."
With Yang Yu's words, the others quickly caught on. Brother Qiu was going to establish a club and challenge other organizations!
Wang Zhengxiang was the first to stand up and voice his opposition. "Brother Qiu, just now we were discussing how we should find a way to legally deal with Liu Xiaolong. Besides, we are about to take our college entrance exams; we can't afford any fighting or violence. You know how strict our school is with seniors; if we dare to establish any organization, the school will definitely keep an eye on us. At that point, there won't be any good outcomes."
As soon as Wang Zhengxiang finished speaking, Yang Yu became displeased and slammed the table, pointing at Wang Zhengxiang and saying, "Since you chose to follow Brother Qiu, then stick with it until the end. Are you saying that without establishing an organization, you can handle Zeng Fan with just a few of you?"
Yang Yu's words were forceful and left no room for rebuttal. Wang Zhengxiang wanted to argue but suddenly found himself at a loss for words and could only lower his head in shame. The atmosphere became awkward, prompting Zhao Pingchuan to step in and ease the tension. "Brother Yu, don't get angry; we're just discussing this. Wang Zhengxiang has a point; the school is strict, so we should be more low-key. However, I do agree with Brother Qiu; we really should establish our own organization."
After Zhao Pingchuan spoke, Zhang Qiu eagerly awaited what he would say next while the others looked at him as well, the earlier awkwardness naturally dissipating.
Seeing everyone staring at him, Zhao Pingchuan felt quite satisfied and raised his voice: "That scene downstairs last night made us several people famous, especially Brother Qiu; who doesn't know that Brother Qiu took down Wang Zhen in just a few seconds? In the coming days, many people will discuss this topic. We should seize this opportunity to establish our own organization now. Even if those who join might be doing so on impulse, at least we'll have gathered a team; this is timely and beneficial."
After listening to Zhao Pingchuan's summary, Zhang Qiu nodded in satisfaction. Since he had proposed establishing an organization, he had already made plans in his heart. However, Zhang Qiu was not in a hurry to make a final decision; he wanted to hear what the previously silent Gao Zhi thought about it. Zhang Qiu always felt an inexplicable sense about Gao Zhi and asked, "Gao Zhi, what do you think?"
"Brother Qiu, I will follow your lead. If you want to establish an organization, then let's do it," Gao Zhi replied with a cheerful smile.
"Good." Zhang Qiu excitedly slapped his thigh and raised his cup, looking at everyone and saying, "To our own organization! Cheers!"
"Cheers! Cheers!"
Zhang Qiu surveyed the few people present. Yang Yu was not a concern; he had been with him since middle school, impulsive in nature but brave and unafraid of challenges. He had a group of brothers under him, which was a valuable asset. Looking at his classmates, Gao Zhi was both courageous and fierce, while Wang Zhengxiang, despite being overly concerned and not decisive enough, was large in stature and willing to take action when necessary. Zhao Pingchuan's greatest strength was his ability to think critically, always providing useful suggestions.
As for Yao Yu, he was extremely loyal, but Zhang Qiu felt he was not suited for this path. Among them, only Yao Yu could not be separated from his glasses for even a moment; he excelled academically and was the kind of student that teachers welcomed. Zhang Qiu felt it was a pity that he wasn't focusing on his studies instead of getting involved in clubs.
Zhang Qiu suddenly burst into laughter as he thought about having these few people to help him. With just Zeng Fan to deal with, how could he possibly fail? He turned to Zhao Pingchuan and said, "Zhao Pingchuan, we have the right timing and the right people. I tell you, it's not just that; we have the advantage of timing, location, and harmony."
Zhao Pingchuan looked at Zhang Qiu with confusion and asked, "Brother Qiu, where's the advantage of location?"
