The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned Novel - Chapter 537
Chapter 537: Trouble In An Alley
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
It was true that Yu Xiao said that he had something to do at home and wanted to take leave.
Yan Ruyu and Yu Wen had sent him a message the day before when they arrived in the capital. He had taken leave because he had estimated that they would clean up their new home today and perhaps meet the Yin Family.
He was 16 years old. He could take a leave and take a taxi back alone.
However, he did not expect to be targeted.
The taxi stopped in a deserted dark alley.
There were people surrounding them.
“Yo, isn’t this our new campus beau?”
The taxi driver had disguised himself beforehand and was waiting for Yu Xiao. Hence, when the taxi stopped, the driver took out a knife.
Yu Xiao was forced to get out of the car.
They usually wouldn’t find trouble. After all, there were many influential people in the Imperial Capital High School. No one knew if the classmates around them were from some influential family.
However, the premise was that no one provoked them.
Of course, this so-called provocation was very broad.
Some provoked them actively, while others provoked them passively.
Yu Xiao had been transferred to the Imperial Capital High School for more than two weeks. His looks were outstanding and so he quickly attracted many people’s attention. His popularity was close to the original school beau.
Yu Xiao was the top student in the cohort after the monthly test.
Now, Yu Xiao, who was good-looking and capable, became even more popular in school.
A car would come to pick him up after school. Although this was not anything special in the Imperial Capital High School, the car that picked him up was rather conspicuous.
Most of the people from Mount West Villa came to pick them up in Yin Jiujin’s cars.
Even the usual cars that Yin Jiujin’s subordinates bought were not ordinary.
Some people guessed that Yu Xiao’s background was not simple.
He was good-looking, had good results, and had a good family background. Although he spoke little, he interacted with his classmates very well.
If he was older, he would definitely be a humble gentleman.
How could such a person not be liked by girls?
Among them was the school belle that the school bully liked. She openly expressed her admiration for Yu Xiao. After the school bully found out, he had stopped Yu Xiao a few times in school.
Unexpectedly, Yu Xiao might look gentle but he was quite skilled.
Even the people who followed the school bully, and the school tyrant himself, could not do anything to Yu Xiao.
They could not do anything to Yu Xiao a few times and was even beaten up by him. The school bully could not take it lying down so he got someone to stop Yu Xiao at the school gate.
They waited for a few days but Yu Xiao never left school alone.
Someone would come to the school gate to pick him up every time.
The school bully didn’t dare to blow things up, so he didn’t dare to block Yu Xiao’s car.
He got the hooligans to continue keeping an eye on Yu Xiao.
That was why today’s incident happened.
Yu Xiao was still calm. At least, that was what he looked like on the surface.
He had some skills and could deal with a few students in school. If he were to deal with some hooligans who had long mingled in society, his chances of winning were not high.
He didn’t want to get hurt.
It would be a lie to say that he was not worried.
Although he was worried, he couldn’t show it on his face. He stuffed his hands in his pockets and pretended to be calm. “Wang Bin, what are you doing?”
“What are you doing? School Beau Yu, didn’t I warn you to stay away from Youyou? Don’t blame me for being rude if you ignore my words!”
Yu Xiao frowned. “I don’t know who you’re talking about.”
Actually, he did. He wasn’t stupid.
However, he had really never interacted with Youyou before. She was the one who kept pestering him and he was getting a little annoyed with her.
“Also, being rude to me?”
His gaze turned cold. “With you?”
Looking closely, his expression did resemble Yan Jinyu’s.
He was bare-handed. Yu Xiao was actually putting up an act.
However, even though Yu Xiao was putting up an act, Wang Bin and the other students, who had been punched by him, were really frightened by him.
There were still traces of a fight on Wang Bin’s face.
He was a little afraid at first, but he saw that Yu Xiao was alone. There were so many people on their side and they were all tall and strong. It was a stark contrast to Yu Xiao, who was thin and frail and had the aura of a scholar.
Only then did Wang Bin feel confident. “Yes, me!”
“Yu Xiao, if I don’t teach you a lesson today, you won’t know your limits! This is the capital, not Country M. I heard that your family settled in Country M and your relatives are only a small family in North City. How dare you be so arrogant?”
Yu Xiao clenched his fists in his pocket.
So he had investigated him. No wonder he dared to make such a big fuss waiting for him.
Wang Bin had indeed investigated Yu Xiao and the information he found was true.
However, with Wang Bin’s ability, he couldn’t investigate that thoroughly.
He only knew that Yu Xiao lived in Country M before he transferred back. His family was also in Country M and he was also related to a small family in North City. He did not investigate which small family it was.
He did not think it was necessary.
As for the luxury car that sent Yu Xiao to and from school every day, Wang Bin couldn’t find out who it belonged to, so he simply ignored it.
Although the Yu Family was not a big family, it should be fine for them to buy such a car.
He ignored it further.
“You’ve done your homework very well. Then, do you know why I was able to transfer to the Imperial Capital High School so easily? You have to know that not everyone can enter the Imperial Capital High School as they please. Also, aren’t you curious about who brought me to and from school every day? It’s true that my family is in Country M and it’s true that I have relatives in North City, but other than having relatives in North City, can’t I have other family members?”
“Wang Bin, your background doesn’t seem to be low either. Don’t you know that you can meet people you can’t provoke anywhere in the capital?”
Yu Xiao looked very imposing, but he was actually feeling more and more weak.
He wanted to take the opportunity to use the phone in his pocket, but he suddenly remembered that his phone was dead.
Yes, his phone was dead!
He couldn’t even ask for help when Wang Bin wasn’t paying attention!
It seemed like he had to bluff him first. If he couldn’t fool him, he would think of something else!
Wang Bin hesitated again after hearing his words.
Yu Xiao was about to heave a sigh of relief and work harder when a skinny boy beside Wang Bin stepped forward angrily and fawningly.
“Brother Bin, why are you afraid of him? Not to mention that it’s impossible for him to have any formidable relatives in the capital, even if he does, so what? We were prepared beforehand. There are no surveillance cameras around. Even if we kill him, no one will know that we did it!”
When Wang Bin heard that, his gaze changed. “You have a point!”
Yu Xiao’s heart sank.
With the skinny student’s reminder, Wang Bin became more confident.
He was no longer afraid of Yu Xiao. He walked towards him step by step and touched the scar on his face. “Yu Xiao, you beat me up badly the last few times. The injuries on my body haven’t healed yet! I finally have a chance today. I must return you double what you’ve done to me!”
Yu Xiao stood still. “Wang Bin, you have to think it through. If anything happens to me today, not only you guys, but the entire Wang Family will be implicated.”
“Did you think that you would be fine after settling the surveillance cameras around you? Don’t you know what it means to locate someone? I realized that something was wrong when I was in the taxi, but I didn’t show it. I simply informed my family and sent them my location…”
“What did you say?! Give me your phone!”
He waved the steel pipe in his hand. “You’re not handing it over?”
Yu Xiao frowned on purpose and handed the phone over reluctantly.
He was actually stalling for time.
Although he did not know what the use of stalling for time was.
Only the teachers and classmates knew that he had left school. The teachers thought that he had returned home as he had applied for leave because he had something to do at home.
In reality, there was indeed something at home. He guessed that his parents had already settled down in two days and would meet the Yin Family today. Even if it wasn’t today, it would be for the next two days. He wanted to take leave and go back to take a look.
Even if he couldn’t see the Yin Family, he still wanted to visit his parents’ new home.
However, he didn’t call home, so his parents had no idea that he had left school.
That was the most important thing.
They didn’t know that he had left school and thought that he was still in school. The teachers thought that he had returned home and they wouldn’t see him for a while. No one would suspect that he had gone missing.
A miscalculation!
At first, he only thought that since he was already 16 years old and it was already tiring for his parents to arrange a new home and settle their new work, he did not want them to work so hard to drive to pick him up…
Who would have thought that Wang Bin would be so ruthless and persistent?
He actually got someone to stop him at the school gate.
Forget it. He would delay for as long as possible. Perhaps, someone would pass by later!
He actually didn’t want anyone to pass by.
These people were all ruthless figures. If anyone passed by, they would be implicated by him.
However, sometimes, the more people worried about something, the more it would happen.
Just as Wang Bin took the phone from Yu Xiao and realized that it was already turned off, he cursed Yu Xiao for fooling with him and threw the phone to the ground. Yu Xiao did not have the time to refute and say that the phone was switched off after he sent the location. Wang Bin was about to attack him when Yu Xiao counterattacked and kicked him out. Someone shouted, “Don’t move. I’m calling the police!”
A girl wearing sunglasses, a mask, and a hat walked out from the corner. Her face could not be seen at all.
The girl was clearly avoiding someone and she did not expect to encounter such a scene.
She was smart and didn’t want to interfere in other people’s business, but at that moment, she felt that the boy who was in trouble looked a little like someone she knew from a certain angle, so she decided to appear.
Wang Bin felt embarrassed when Yu Xiao kicked him down. He cursed and ordered everyone to attack Yu Xiao.
Yu Xiao’s expression was serious.
At that moment, the girl stood up.
The people who wanted to attack Yu Xiao stopped and looked at the girl.
Yu Xiao looked at the girl while guarding against a sneak attack.
She was fully covered and her appearance could not be seen clearly.
However, judging from her figure, temperament, and voice, he guessed that she should be about the same age as his cousin.
