Chapter 371: Rebellion

Was he tired of living? Why did he have to provoke the lion?

Seeing this, Lan Xiao was even more pleased with himself and thought that he had spoken the truth.

Gong Sheng had already covered Lan Xiao’s mouth with his hand yet the guy continued to blabber on excitedly.

“I say, you… are really useless. A man like you is actually afraid of a little girl. Moreover, she’s from Yan City. Our Imperial Capital will definitely crush Yan City. A first-rate school in Yan City is only as good as a third-rate school from Imperial Capital…”

Lan Xiao was not as tall as Gong Sheng, but he was good with words.

He made the few youths on Gong Sheng’s side look at each other. They were also embarrassed after getting stared at by Lan Xiao.

Previously, Gong Sheng had only apologized to Miss Sheng and warned them not to provoke her as well, but they did not know the exact reason.

Could it be that Lan Xiao was right?

After a short while, they made a decision and went to persuade Gong Sheng in low voices.

“Gong Sheng, if you don’t make yourself clear, it’ll be very embarrassing.”

“I’m afraid we won’t be able to lift our heads in front of Lan Xiao in the future.”

“You have to play fair during the competition later.”

Lan Xiao almost choked with laughter. This was the first time he saw Gong Sheng’s own brothers turn against him. Previously whenever the two of them fought, weren’t Gong Sheng’s friends all very protective of him?

Seeing that Lan Xiao was still smiling, Gong Sheng simply let go of his hand. He frowned and looked at Lan Xiao. “You grew up with me, so I’ll give you this final piece of advice for old time’s sake. You can’t afford to offend her. Don’t provoke her.”

When Lan Xiao heard this, his anger rose even higher. He glared, “I’m not a coward like you.”

He patted his chest. “I, Lan Xiao, am indomitable. Since I was young, when have I ever been afraid? I don’t care who she is or who her backing is. Anyway, I’m not afraid of heaven or earth.”

Gong Sheng’s lips curved into a smile.

He had tried to persuade him, and he had fulfilled his duty. It was Lan Xiao who refused to listen.

Gong Sheng’s friends immediately felt that Gong Sheng was extremely cowardly.

This was unlike the guy they knew.

Just then, Sheng Yang and the rest entered.

This was the first time Fang Duo and Ou Ye had entered the finals of the business war. It was also the first time they had come to such a solemn place like Imperial Capital’s synagogue as contestants. Actually, they were a little nervous.

However, what happened last night had made them unable to care about this sense of novelty and excitement.

The more she was afraid of something, the more it would happen. The scene that she witnessed last night could not be wiped away from Fang Duo’s mind. She even had nightmares the whole night last night.

It was the same for Ou Ye. After the incident happened, he didn’t know whether he should cover the upper or lower part of his body. As he was struggling, he suddenly received a slap on his face.

Fine, it did not matter where he covered in the end.

Sheng Yang was very satisfied with the dark circles under their eyes. That was what the internet said. If both of them had dark circles under their eyes, it meant that the strategy was successful.

She was someone who did not care about the process and only cared about the outcome.

Although she did not know what the exact result was, she did not care.

The teams from Yan City and the others were fine. They all treated each other normally.

However, the team from Imperial Capital was different. They viewed the team from Yan City as eternally in second place. Furthermore, because they were far ahead every year, they naturally treated the team from Yan City with sarcasm and smugness.

However, this year, this young lady from the Sheng family had taken the limelight…action
