Chapter 8
En! Zhang Yanjing nodded heavily, his eyes slightly moist. He felt that heaven had not been unkind to him, allowing him to meet such an extraordinary man in his youth
The old man waved at him and said, "Young man, why are you all sweaty? Hurry inside so you don't catch a chill!"
The next day, Xie Wendong gave up riding his bicycle and ran to school. I felt that the people I had to deal with were becoming increasingly formidable, and it was impossible to do so without a strong physique. His home was about 2 kilometers from the First Middle School, so Xie Wendong ran while throwing punches into the air, taking a few steps to rest whenever he got tired. By the time he arrived at school, he was already drenched in sweat. Today, he was in a good mood and made a point to greet the old security guard at the school gate.
Zhang Yanjing smiled dryly and said, "Do you think we are willing to be under a girl as her subordinates? We are all forced into this! How should I put it? In a word, Gao Laoda is not an ordinary person. You will understand when you meet her." Then he tilted his head back, as if speaking to Li Shuang and to himself at the same time: "She is a stunningly beautiful yet poisonous black rose"
Xie Wendong laughed heartily and said, "No matter when it is, when soldiers come, I will block them; when water comes, I will block it!" After saying this, he turned and walked towards the school gate, and in the distance, laughter echoed. Everyone watched Xie Wendong's figure in the distance, exchanged glances, and together burst into hearty laughter, suppressing the slight touch of emotion in their hearts, as they chased after the hero in their minds. This left Li Shuang, who was completely confused, saying, "What is going on today? Is everyone’s head rusty? ... Hey, wait for me! I’m fat and run slowly, you all slow down ..." "A bunch of heartless guys! ..."
Li Shuang felt a bit confused and tapped her head: "I'm dizzy, this is a bit too complicated. Brother Dong, just find a way; this matter is beyond my capability."
Zhang Yanjian paused for a moment and saw Xie Wendong listening intently, took a breath and continued: "With his personality, even if he likes Gao Laoda very much, he would still fight with her!"
Xie Wendong walked into the classroom, which was filled with noise. Li Shuang, being quite familiar, was animatedly chatting with a few boys nearby, not knowing what to say! Xie Wendong sat down at his desk, and Liu Ting, sitting next to him, asked: "Deskmate! Do you know that there was a fight in the small woods behind the school playground yesterday? Several students are hospitalized and cannot attend class today!"
Li Shuang blinked, feeling a bit foolish. What kind of ridiculous school is this
The girl got back on her bike, said "goodbye," and without waiting for Xie Wendong to respond, she rode off. After traveling more than ten meters, the girl turned around and shouted, "My name is Gao Huiyu!"
Xie Wendong intimately held Zhang Yanjing's hand and said: "Good brother, from now on we will venture the world together. Haha"
Xie Wendong deliberately sized up the girl from head to toe. Under his piercing gaze, the girl felt somewhat embarrassed and playfully said, "Hey, what are you looking at? Haven't you seen a beauty before?"
Zhang Yanjing has now truly developed a curiosity towards Xie Wendong. It is also from this moment that this individual, who would later become a leading figure in the Wendong Group, was completely captivated. His equally restless heart has finally found a worthy pursuit to dedicate his life to.
Zhang Yanjing shook his head, "Someone like her is not the kind of person we can casually like."
Seeing Xie Wendong gesture for him to continue, he licked his lips and said: "If we can exacerbate the conflict between Gao Laoda and Liu Jinglong, we might gain considerable benefits; at the very least, we won't have to worry about having two enemies!"
Zhang Yanjing was taken aback by Xie Wendong's words. Rays of sunlight streamed into the woods, and the brilliance flickering on Xie Wendong's face unconsciously drew Zhang Yanjing's heart towards him. Zhang Yanjing sighed inwardly: what kind of man is this! Following him in the future may truly lead to a different journey in life.
"Dong Ge, what you said is so strange! I don't understand it at all!" Li Shuang said, touching his hair, breaking the silence. Xie Wendong smiled, not knowing why he expressed his thoughts; it seemed he was truly changing day by day. Being with this group of passionate young people, his personality had transformed immensely compared to before. However, he did not resist this change in his heart, as he was very happy with his current life. Xie Wendong smiled again, still unsure why he shared his thoughts, but it was clear he was indeed changing day by day. Being with this group of passionate young people, his personality had transformed immensely compared to before. Yet, he did not resist this change in his heart, as he was very happy with his current life. He also cherished the affection these young people had for him.
Xie Wendong expressed his grievance, saying: "It is precisely because the senior sister is so beautiful that she is unforgettable! It is not that I have a good memory." In fact, this is also his true feeling; such beautiful girls are indeed hard to forget.
Xie Wendong was speechless, lowering his head and thinking for nearly five minutes
Zhang Yanjing said: "There are indeed occasional frictions, with some students fighting and arguing every two or three days. However, the scale is not large, just some students below getting into disputes and brawls." Taking a breath, he continued: "I heard it seems to be because Liu Jinglong has developed feelings for Gao Laoda!"
Xie Wendong turned his head and couldn't help but smile. The one riding the bike was the very beautiful senior "sister" who almost collided with him yesterday. Xie Wendong nodded slightly and smiled, saying: "Hello, senior!"
Zhang Yanjing said loudly: "Dong Ge, you are the only person I truly admire. I will follow you for the rest of my life"
Xie Wendong released his hand, walked out of the woods, and looked up to the sky, saying: "Do you know? I do not worship infinite power, do not like endless wealth, and do not care what kind of hegemony the future may hold. What I desire is a process. A process that allows me to experience the exhilarating feeling of competing for supremacy. This is what I want the most. That feeling may be akin to a bird soaring in the vast sky, with nothing to constrain its wings, looking down to survey everything beneath it"
In the first chapter of "Three-Eyed", when San Yan met Brother Dong, I remember that Dong Ge seemed to have not scored a single ball, the past vividly comes to mind
Li Shuang was taken aback by his expression and nudged Zhang Yanjing, saying: "Hey! Brother, have you fallen for that tall guy Gao?"
Zhang Yanjing smiled and said to Xie Wendong: "Brother Dong, Tiger Brother is the number one subordinate of Boss Gao. I didn't expect you to defeat him in just a few moves, but Boss Gao will definitely not let this matter go easily. Brother Dong, you need to be careful."
Xie Wendong lowered his head in silence, lost in thought. Li Shuang felt displeased and said, "What are you afraid of? When soldiers come, I will block them; when water comes, I will dam it! I just don't believe a girl can be that formidable!"
Xie Wendong said: "That may not be the case! Don't forget that this is No. 1 Middle School, the most chaotic school in the entire city. By the way, why did you come to study at No. 1 Middle School?"
Xie Wendong smiled, shook his head, and said, "I am not quite sure." He then asked Liu Ting, "Has the school mentioned anything about handling this matter?"
Zhang Yanjing smiled slightly and confidently said, "I have been at Yizhong for almost two years, and I have some understanding of Liu Jinglong's character. This person is extremely loyal; otherwise, with his intellect, it would be impossible for him to have the current scale at Yizhong. It is precisely because he is good at making friends and can go to great lengths for them that he has a group of close buddies who always follow him. Among them are a few friends who are particularly close to him. If we can get these few into the hospital and make him feel that it was done by Gao Laoda...

Among them are a few friends who are particularly close to him. If we can get these few into the hospital and make him feel that it was done by Gao Laoda..."
Intelligent individuals may not necessarily prefer to associate with those who are equally intelligent, yet they generally do not reject the company of simpler-minded people. This is because they are intelligent
Xie Wendong felt that Liu Ting should be a very intelligent girl, with good academic performance, and should not be studying here
In the afternoon, Xie Wendong and Li Shuang went to the hospital to visit their injured brothers, San Yan and Gao Qiang were both there. They learned that there were five people hospitalized, but none of the injuries were serious. Only then did Xie Wendong feel relieved. San Yan suggested that the four of them go play billiards since they had nothing else to do. Although Xie Wendong had little interest in billiards, he did not want to dampen everyone's spirits, so he nodded in agreement. San Yan immediately added, "I won't be on the same team as Dong Ge, just to make that clear." "... ..." "... ..." "... ..."

San Yan immediately added, "I won't be on the same team as Dong Ge, just to make that clear." "... ..." "... ..." "... ..."
Xie Wendong was taken aback, and Li Shuang hurriedly asked: "Is Boss Gao a woman?"
Xie Wendong curiously asked: "What do you usually play? It seems that there aren't many games that girls can play!"
Li Shuang was completely baffled, wondering what this meant. Liking someone is simply liking them, and not liking someone is just not liking them! This kid's head must be messed up.
Zhang Yanjing said: "The principal has connections above, with people in the education committee and the municipal bureau. Here at the First High School, he is like a local emperor, and whatever he says goes. I have heard that most of the younger female teachers in the school have been involved with him."
After listening to Xie Wendong's words, Zhang Yanjing felt a cold sweat running down his back. He had always thought of himself as clever, but compared to the man before him, he felt like a child. Zhang Yanjing respectfully bowed to Xie Wendong and said, "Thank you, Brother Dong, for your words. They have made me realize that there are still many areas where I need to learn. I will work twice as hard in the future and will not let you down!"
The girl's face flushed, and her heart felt as if a little rabbit had suddenly hopped in. Such words, when spoken by others, would not catch her attention, but for some reason, when they came from this boy whose name she did not even know, they took on a different flavor. There was an indescribable sense of joy in her heart. However, every time she saw this boy, her heart raced violently; she did not understand what this feeling was, so she decided to avoid it.
The girl on the motorcycle blushed slightly and chuckled, "You have quite a good memory!"
Zhang Yanjing said to Xie Wendong: "Gao Laoda is very formidable. If we confront him head-on, even if we win, the losses will be substantial. It would be better to ... ... " At this point, Zhang Yanjing paused, thinking to himself that after all, he was new to Xie Wendong and had even defected from another side, unsure if Xie would heed his advice
Ah! That is indeed the case! ... ... Hey, hey, hey! It seems I have never won against the two of you! '' ... ... '' '' ... ... '' The corridor fell silent.
Even someone like Li Shuang, whose limbs seem to outshine his brain, found this idea to be excellent. He pulled Zhang Yanjing, who was nodding vigorously, and patted his shoulder, saying in a very 'big shot' manner: 'Indeed, my brother has a way!'
Xie Wendong wore a sinister smile, "I don't care about the principal; as long as he doesn't provoke me, he can continue to be his local emperor. I want to know what the current relationship is between Gao Laoda and the Black Dragon Brotherhood"
Liu Ting shook her head: "I haven't heard of this, but such a significant matter surely cannot be ignored by the school, right?"
Xie Wendong nodded and said: "In fact, you are quite clever. I really need talents like you, and I hope you can be sincere with me in the future..."
Upon learning of the connection between Gao Laoda and the Qing Gang, Xie Wendong felt a surge of blood within him. The Qing Gang is one of the three major underground gangs in J City, alongside the Axe Gang and the Brotherhood Alliance, collectively known as the underground emperors of J City, widely recognized as the three giants of the underworld. Although he felt uncertain about the opportunity to confront one of them, Xie Wendong's restless heart was ablaze, driven by the impulsive yearning of youth for extreme challenges
Xie Wendong and the other two were speechless
The girl's voice echoed in Xie Wendong's ears, "Gao Huiyu, what a beautiful name!" Looking at the girl's brisk figure, he felt a surge of excitement in his heart. A thought emerged in his mind: could this girl be the daughter of Old Master Gao? Xie Wendong shook his head, dismissing this idea, telling himself that there are many girls with the surname Gao in the world, it couldn't be such a coincidence! For some reason, Xie Wendong did not want this girl to be Old Master Gao's daughter. Xie Wendong shook his head, dismissing this idea, telling himself that there are many girls with the surname Gao in the world, it couldn't be such a coincidence! For some reason, Xie Wendong did not want this girl to be Old Master Gao's daughter.
Xie Wendong said: "Xiao Shuang, do you know? You have said something very right!"
Xie Wendong's voice was not loud, yet it was clear to everyone present. The rising sun was right behind him, casting light upon him, making it difficult to look directly at him. Everyone was unsure of the feeling at that moment; they simply felt that Xie Wendong's stature was so tall, so close to the sun, a height that they could never hope to reach alongside books.
Liu Ting said with a mournful expression: "I usually play too much, and my grades were not ideal during the high school entrance examination, so I had no choice but to come here"
Xie Wendong listened to Zhang Yanjing's words and felt that there was some truth to them, but... Xie Wendong slowly said: "Even if this idea really succeeds in making Liu Jinglong and Gao Laoda mutually injure each other, the Qing Gang will inevitably join in... In fact, I do not regard Liu Jinglong and Gao Laoda's forces as a threat at all; what truly concerns me is the Qing Gang. This idea poses no harm to the Qing Gang and will only compel them to devote all their efforts to dealing with us..." Xie Wendong did not want to discourage Zhang Yanjing, so he patted his shoulder and said: "Actually, your idea is also quite good, but in the future, you should broaden your perspective. Do not be blinded by immediate interests! You must see clearly what your true enemies are! You are a smart person, and I hope you will not disappoint me."
Xie Wendong suddenly said something inexplicable: "I really wish the time for our meeting would come soon! I look forward to that day!"
When Xie Wendong walked out of the school gate, he heard the baritone of Li Shuang coming from behind.
The voices of San Yan and Gao Qiang echoed simultaneously: "Because you play billiards the best among us!"
Zhang Yanjing nodded and said, "Indeed! Don't be fooled by her being a woman; she is quite fierce! Generally, three to five boys are no match for her. It seems she has connections with the Qing Gang. I heard she is the girlfriend of the leader of the Qing Gang, but I don't know if it's true or not"
Li Shuang asked in surprise, "Dong Ge, what did I say? What did I say that was so right?"
Xie Wendong nodded with a smile and ran towards the teaching building. After running a few steps, he heard the sound of a motorcycle behind him. "No way!" Xie Wendong instinctively jumped to the side of the road. A motorcycle stopped beside him. "Hey, why is it you again?! Do you have a habit of walking in the middle of the road?"
Zhang Yanjing also had a good impression of this straightforward and jovial man, modestly saying: "This is all just my own fanciful thinking, it's nothing significant"
Xie Wendong nodded after listening for a while, feeling that this seemingly unremarkable student was indeed very intelligent. This person had calculated correctly, and what he lacked now was someone like this. After thinking this, he smiled at Zhang Yanjing and asked, "Didn’t you say that Liu Jinglong might have developed feelings for Gao Laoda? How can we escalate their conflict?"
In the hospital corridor, Li Shuang's dissatisfied voice could be heard: "Hey! Why am I being grouped with Dong Ge?"
