Chapter 45: Entering the Tiger's Lair

  "Sulin, your progress this time is extremely significant. It can be said that in the entire history of Jian'an No. 1 Middle School, there has never been such a large-scale improvement. Therefore, Principal Li personally appointed you to give the speech at the oath-taking ceremony to boost everyone's morale. So, Sulin, go back and prepare well tonight, no need for a long speech, just a draft of three to five hundred words, and let me take a look tomorrow morning. Note that it must be able to inspire your fellow students' fighting spirit for the college entrance exam."

  Lin Qingxue was speaking seriously to Su Lin, but found that Su Lin seemed a bit distracted, his eyes wandering all over her body. Suddenly, she became unhappy, slapping the table, "Su Lin, are you even listening to what I'm saying?"

  "Yes, yes, yes...... Teacher Lin, I'm listening."

  Su Lin quickly withdrew her gaze, but in her heart she was muttering: "Of course I'm also taking a closer look!"

  At the beginning of class, Su Lin took advantage of the temporary suspension to secretly touch Lin Qingxue. This time, staring at Lin Qingxue, he couldn't help but have all sorts of wild thoughts and fantasies.

  At the age of seventeen or eighteen, it is the golden age when boys' imagination is the most abundant. Holding a piece of women's underwear can lead to fantasies, let alone Su Lin who is now facing the lively and charming Lin Qingxue.

  "Alright, Sulan, just be clear with yourself. Come early tomorrow and bring the speech draft to my office for me to take a look. If there's nothing else, you can go now!"

  When being stared at by Su Lin with such eyes, Lin Qingxue always felt that something was off, but couldn't quite put her finger on what the problem was. Especially when Su Lin gazed at her chest, Lin Qingxue would feel a surge of nervousness, her heart racing and breathing quickening, so she quickly sent Su Lin away.

  "Oh! Then I'll take my leave first, Teacher Lin."

  Su Lin's mouth slightly curled up, she stood up and left, but when she reached the office door, she deliberately let out a sly laugh, turned her head and left Lin Qingxue with a sentence: "Teacher Lin, wear lighter bras, they can grow bigger that way."

  "Sulin, you... damn it..."

  Lin Qing's face turned red with a brush, wanting to chase up and scold Su Lin, but Su Lin had already run far away.

  "Sulin! Hmph! He... how did he know I wore a soft bra today? Could it be... that this can also be seen?"

  Lin Qingxue didn't know that during the morning class, she had already been thoroughly understood by Su Lin. She was both angry and ashamed, vowing to severely scold him next time they met.

  "Hehe! Teacher Lin's figure is really great, occasionally teasing the teacher also has a different kind of fun. Unfortunately, the college entrance exam is in a few days, and I don't know if I'll see Teacher Lin again after that."

  School's out, Su Lin slung her backpack over her shoulder and headed towards the school gate.

  Jian'an No. 1 Middle School, the high school where Su Lin had spent three years, hadn't actually brought him much happy times. It wasn't until the last dozen or so days before the college entrance exams, when he suddenly gained an extraordinary ability, that Su Lin's life became exciting again.

  "There are only a few days left in high school, and the college entrance exam is no longer a problem for me. So, let's use these last few days to do all the things I wanted to do but didn't dare to do in high school, without any regrets. Tomorrow's speech will be in front of the whole school, including teachers, students, and parents of third-year students. This time, I want to make my parents proud, I don't want them to lose face every time they come to school for parent-teacher conferences. At the same time, I also want to say what I've been wanting to say but didn't dare to say all along."

  As soon as Su Lin walked out of the school gate, he was thinking about how to give his speech tomorrow and was mentally drafting it when a small thug guarding the entrance of Jian'an No. 1 Middle School immediately spotted him and reported to Huang Mao.

  However, this time, Su Lin obviously raised his vigilance. When he came out of the school gate, he subconsciously observed the surrounding situation. Sure enough, soon, the yellow-haired boy who had surrounded him yesterday, along with three or four younger brothers, did not hide and directly walked towards him.

  "Hmph! I didn't go looking for you, you came knocking on my door yourselves."

  Su Lin glanced at the numbers in the top right corner, still over 300 seconds left, and it was more than enough to collect these people, without a single thread of panic in her heart.

  "These people are all Liu Yuanfeng's lackeys, even if I drive this batch away, others will come to trouble me. As long as the source of Liu Yuanfeng is not resolved, I will have endless troubles and cannot be at peace."

  Su Lin had originally planned to rely on his ability to pause time, and then severely beat up these hoodlums, letting them know that they were not easy to mess with, so they wouldn't dare to come looking for trouble again on behalf of Liu Yuan Feng.

  However, this is only treating the symptoms and not the root cause. Repelling one group of people will only lead to another group, stronger and more numerous. Su Lin knew that the underworld of Jian'an City and Liu Yuanfeng had a significant connection.

  "I can't do it this way, I have to think of a solution."

  Suddenly, Su Lin quickly took off running down the small path, with these little rascals closely following behind him.

  "Hurry and chase, this kid has been discovered."

  "Chase him, today he can't be allowed to run away again."

  ……

  The hoodlums yelled and chased after them one by one, getting closer and closer. Su Lin turned her head to look back, took aim at the opportunity, and muttered a silent "time pause" in her heart as they approached a bend.

  Time froze, the gangsters' movements were suspended in mid-air, but Su Lin didn't stop, secretly turning back and slipping through the gangsters to hide in a small shop behind them.

  "Time Reversal!"

  After hiding himself, making sure he wouldn't be discovered by the little rascals, Su Lin resumed time. This took about 8 or 9 seconds, but for Su Lin's current paused time, it was still worth consuming.

  "Huh? Where did that little guy go?"

  "Impossible! I just saw him running in front of us, how could he disappear after turning a corner?"

  "He must be hiding in one of the corners up ahead, you all go search, it's impossible for him to run that fast..."

  The little rascals almost saw Su Lin disappear into thin air, and they were all stunned. But when they really went to search everywhere, they couldn't even find a single hair of Su Lin's.

  "Damn it, how did that little brat get away? Looks like I won't be able to report back to Young Master Liu today. Tomorrow, I'll definitely bring more people and catch him right at the school gate!"

  The leading Huang Mao saw that they couldn't find Su Lin's figure anywhere, so he could only spit and instruct, "If you can't find him, forget it. We'll come back for him tomorrow. Today, our gang has a deal, let's go early to settle the matter. After it's over, Dog Brother will take you guys to have some fun."

  At this time, Su Lin was hiding in the back of the store, quietly watching these little rascals. That's right, his plan was to quietly follow these little rascals back and enter the tiger's den. If he could find Liu Yuanfeng directly, Su Lin wouldn't mind giving Liu Yuanfeng a painful lesson, so that he would never dare to send people to look for trouble again.

  A few hoodlums couldn't find Su Lin, so they started walking back and forth. Su Lin carefully lowered his head to avoid being discovered by them. After they passed by, he followed them from a distance with caution.

  "Brother Dog, I heard that this deal tonight is quite big, worth several hundred thousand!"

  "This is still considered small, now the song and dance halls, KTVs, and nightclubs in Jian'an City are all our Black Dragon Gang's backyard. Do you know how many sales of Shén Xiān Wán (a type of ecstasy) and Kuài Lè Fěn (a type of ketamine) there are every day? Hehe, later on, go play at those high schools more often, especially the ones with some 'tough' students, let them bring some rich second-generation kids to play, then you won't have to worry about not having money to find girls."

  The yellow dog was happily and ignorantly bragging with a few younger brothers, completely unaware of Su Lin secretly following behind.

  "Where are these rascals going? Aren't they heading for the Jiaxing Hotel in the city center?"

  Su Lin followed them, heading in the direction of the southern part of the city. Su Lin knew that Jiaxing Hotel was Liu Yuanfeng's old haunt, and many of Heilong Gang's activities were also carried out there. However, after the last incident, Jiaxing Hotel had been ordered by the police to suspend business for a week.

  Boom boom boom...

  They had walked for almost half an hour when Huang Gouz and his men arrived at a flat-roofed factory district on the south side of the city. They knocked on one of the large gates, and immediately someone inside asked cautiously: "Tian Wang Gai Di Hu."

  Su Lin had been following from a distance, but later saw that these thugs were completely unguarded, so this time he was hiding in a relatively close place. When he heard the password to open the door, he almost laughed out loud, thinking that these gangsters really didn't have any culture, using such an uncreative street password for so many years. It's obvious! The next line after "Tian Wang Gai Di Hu" isn't "Bao Ta Zhen He Yao"? Nowadays, who doesn't know this?

  But Su Lin didn't laugh yet, when he heard Huang Gouzi say the password to open the door, he immediately froze, and couldn't help but cry and laugh.

  "Little chicken stewed mushrooms. Chicken head, it's me Huang dog son, hurry up and open the door. Has the transaction started? I brought a few brothers to settle the score."

  "Huang dogzi, didn't you say you were going to do some things for Liu Shao and come back late? Why are you back so early? The transaction has just started. If you came later, we would have gone to the sauna to find some chicks."

  The gatekeeper, who was called "chicken head" by the yellow dog, said with a sly smile as he opened the door to let them in.

  Bang!

  After Huang Gouzzi went in, the factory door closed again. Su Lin stood outside the door, feeling a bit tangled, wondering how he could sneak in?

  "Whatever, just try it."

  Anyway, having the ability to pause time and still having enough time, even if something dangerous happens, I can pause time and escape. Su Lin plucked up her courage and also imitated Huang Gouzi's style, knocking on the factory door with a few loud bangs.

  "Tiger Pouncing on the Heavenly King!"

  A secret signal came from inside, Su Lin coughed and intentionally made her voice a bit coarser, saying: "Braised chicken with mushrooms."

  The door opened again, but the chicken head glanced at Su Lin a few times, slightly furrowed his brow and said cautiously: "This brother, why do you look a bit unfamiliar?"
