Chapter 72: Cheng Hong Seeking Death
After suddenly discovering that Cheng Ran was typing quickly and ignoring him, Shi Qingyang touched his nose and could only return to his room.
When he and Cheng Ran came to Anhang City, they actually brought a lot of luggage with them. When they escaped from the mobile town, they only brought the most important ones with them. Now, his luggage that they’d removed from the mobile town were in his room. Shi Qingyang checked them over, put his clothes in the cabinet, and then took out a computer that was thick and heavy compared with other handheld computers.
This computer looked ordinary, but as long as one knew what it was, they’d know that it was of great value, because like the security computer Cheng Ran bought before, it was a computer that wouldn’t let people trace its location.
This was bought by Shi Qingyang himself. Now he had actually become a millionaire, but unfortunately, no one knew this, and neither could he let others discover it.
Lying on his bed with the computer, Shi Qingyang went online, intending to chat with Cheng Xuze as I don’t want to starve. He also conveniently opened the web portal of Anhang City, but didn’t want to see the latest news related to Cheng Hong.
When human life was slowly rebuilt and the originally destroyed network was rebuilt, in order to commemorate everything from before the end of the world, the names of many things remained unchanged, such as Weibo, which had been circulating for thousands of years.
Half an hour ago, Cheng Hong posted a paragraph on his public Weibo account: “Cheng Ran had not been with me since his childhood. I really don’t have deep feelings with him, but he is my son. I can’t ignore his life and death as some of the media say. Today, I’m not happy. I just feel that he obviously doesn’t have radiation energy, but it’s inappropriate to insist on learning medicine. After all, for a person without radiation energy, learning medicine is very dangerous, and the medicine that needs to be prepared with radiation energy is even more dangerous.”
Cheng Hong’s words, when people who didn’t know the situation read them, they really would feel that he was sincere. It was just a bit of a shame…
Shi Qingyang saw these remark from Cheng Hong not on Cheng Hong’s own blog, but in the latest news released by the Anhang City Portal, and the title of the news was – “According to reliable sources, the change of the final assignment of the Academy Pharmacy Competition was decided by Cheng Hong”.
The front foot said it was dangerous for Cheng Ran to configure the medicine that needed radiant energy, and the exposed back foot purposefully interfered in the afternoon competition…
After enjoying himself, Shi Qingyang suddenly felt some sympathy for Cheng Hong. Today, that man repeatedly slapped himself in the mouth, even to the point of madness. Who knew how he was feeling.
However, he was very willing to let Cheng Hong do more such things to make people sympathize with Cheng Ran. With such a mood, Shi Qingyang read the news.
The front page of the news was a screenshot of Cheng Hong’s microblog, and further down analyzed in detail the sudden change of the content of the competition at Anhang Academy in the afternoon.
The reporter who released this piece of news obviously had very good observation. He released the picture of the dean of Anhang Academy who went to see Cheng Hong after announcing the competition in the afternoon. He also captured Ran Xue and Cheng Xuze’s expressions changing after the event. Ran Xue going to the dean of Anhang Academy and asking for assistants to be allowed was on video. The reporter also showed Cheng Hong’s ugly face during the competition.
Why did the dean of Anhang Academy suddenly change the competition? Moreover, Cheng Hong was the president of the Anhang City Radiation Energy Association. He was in charge of this competition. Even if someone else changed it, how could he not know? So, the fact is that he made people adjust the competition.
Even Ran Xue, after knowing that radiation energy would be used in the competition, helped fight for the opportunity to let the players bring assistants. Cheng Hong had the right to change the content of the competition, as well as the right to terminate the competition. But he didn’t care at all. Was this what it meant to love his son?
This reporter analyzed very well, and also released many videos and photos, which people has no choice but to believe. Shi Qingyang couldn’t help but have a good impression of this person. He specially looked at the other person’s name, but he was stunned after reading it. Ye Houan? He somehow had a feeling of slight familiarity with this name… Shi Qingyang thought it over and discovered that there were several pieces of news about Cheng Hong that he had released. Did he remember this name after skimming it over so many times?
No matter what made him feel that the name looked familiar, now he was sure that he would always remember it.
After reading the news, Shi Qingyang found that the chat software in the lower right corner sent a message. He quickly clicked it on. Sure enough, it was Cheng Xuze who was looking for him.
“Go on.” Shi Qingyang typed these words, and then turned to the messages above. The messages in front were all from Cheng Xuze, who asked him to help find Cheng Ran. Unfortunately, he was with Cheng Ran at that time. How would he be able to get or send information?
“Why are you absent every time I come to you for something urgent?” Cheng Xuze opened his own video with a helpless face.
“I encountered a bit of trouble the other day. Isn’t it all right now?”
“You already know what happened to them?”
“I know.”
“What do you think of this time? You asked me to check the Yin Family before, did you already know this?” Cheng Xuze asked again.
“I guessed the Yin Family should have some illegal business outside the city, but I didn’t realize they could be so bold,” Shi Qingyang said. He had always felt that the Yin Family would not dare to fight them no matter how powerful they were. After all, Gu Changjin was a level-5 master. But he didn’t expect that they found someone else…
“This time, I must check the Yin Family!” Cheng Xuze immediately said.
“Right.” Shi Qingyang tried to make his performance light, in line with the image of a hermit and expert.
Cheng Xuze had been used to it for a long time, and immediately shared some of his plans. After saying them, he suddenly sighed: “It was a good thing that I could have brought back Xiao Ran and Shi Qingyang, but some people just couldn’t let me be happy…”
“What’s the matter?” Shi Qingyang asked, but he knew that most of the people Cheng Xuze said were Cheng Hong. Cheng Hong only quarreled with Cheng Xuze at dinner. I’m afraid it’s even more difficult to stop when such news just appeared.
“It’s my useless second son. I don’t know how he can target Xiao Ran so much… Even if Xiao Ran is an illegitimate son, he doesn’t have to treat the child as an enemy. Besides, I’m his father, and I don’t owe him, so why does he have to trouble me time and time again?” Cheng Xuze was also a little angry. Cheng Hong acted like everyone owed him something.
“I’ve seen all the news on the Internet. Are they all true? He said so?”
“They’re all true. As for him, he called me not long ago and quarreled with me. Now he came to me again and asked me to speak for him. Let me testify that it was not him who changed the content of the competition. If I didn’t do so, I’m afraid his position as the Vice City Lord would be given to others,” Cheng Xuze said. What Cheng Hong told him was not so polite.
“If it needs to be handed to someone else, then hand it to someone else.”
“Master Not Starving, you don’t know, this child usually does things very seriously, and does his official duties well. He has a prideful heart… I don’t want to care about him, for fear that he will complain about me… When the child’s mother died, I had to take care for him…” Cheng Xuze sighed again and again. He was at the end of his rope with Cheng Hong, and Cheng Hong had said aagin that he was also his son. Compared with some other people’s useless good-for-nothing sons, Cheng Hong was also good…
“The problem with him is that you spoil him. He is confident that you will help him, so he has no fear and doesn’t take you seriously,” Shi Qingyang typed. He still couldn’t figure out why Cheng Hong treated Cheng Ran so badly, but he knew why Cheng Hong had such an attitude towards Cheng Xuze and Cheng Hui. In the final analysis, Cheng Hong was spoiled and overbearing.
Although Cheng Hong had always said that Cheng Xuze was partial to Cheng Hui, subconsciously, he also knew that Cheng Xuze and Cheng Hui would always let him do as he pleased. After all, the blood relationship between them couldn’t be broken. In this case, he naturally had nothing to fear.
Why did some good-for-nothings dare to make trouble all the time? Wasn’t it because they were sure their parents would help?
Crying children had milk to drink. Although Cheng Hong’s frowning appearance was completely different from a crying child, their practices were similar.
“Spoiled?” Cheng Xuze couldn’t react. Cheng Hong was now 40 years old, and he wasn’t someone without high standards for himself. This…
“He should always say that you are partial to Cheng Hui, yes? And you would compensate him every time he said this?” Shi Qingyang wrote a sentence.
“That’s true. In fact, compared with Xiao Hui, I worry more about him. Xiao Hui has always followed my path…” Cheng Xuze frowned. He liked Cheng Hui better, no doubt, but he actually helped Cheng Hong more.
“I’ve also read today’s news. I think if he continues to do this, I’m afraid he will trouble you more and more in the future. Moreover, it’s clear that he did something wrong, but he desperately tried to make excuses for himself… With character like this, if he relies on your presence to make someone give way to him using your face, it won’t lead to a good result in the future,” Shi Qingyang laid out a long string of words.
Cheng Xuze was surprised: “What should I do?”
“If you want your child to be able to walk, you need to let him wrestle more. Doesn’t Cheng Hong always think you are partial? You might as well show him that you are partial. Ignore him and let him solve his own problems.”
“Can this really be done?” Cheng Xuze’s face was full of begging for advice, and he didn’t know that the person who taught him how to take care of his children was actually the person next door who coveted his grandson, and who was at the same age as his grandson.
“If you help him again this time, what will you do the next time he stirs up a scandal that’s not quite as small as this? In my opinion, you might as well make a big fuss about this time, let him learn a lesson, and let him know that he is nothing without the Cheng family, lest you keep helping him in the end and cause a divide in the brotherhood of your children.” Shi Qingyang tried to deceive his future grandfather-in-law to pit his future father-in-law.
Cheng Xuze trusted I don’t want to starve. Now the more he thought about it, the more he thought he had a point. Because of Cheng Hong’s temper, he used to force himself to only be kind and gentle with him before, and only recently, he started to quarrel with him several times. But after the fights, he had always helped him out as he should have. Before, Cheng Hong failed to break through by force, and was also secretly injured, so he thought about whether to help him become the City Lord.
Now thinking about it, he was wrong at the beginning. When he took Cheng Hui with him, he always knew that Cheng Hui would undergo some sufferings along the way. How could he forget this when it came to Cheng Hong?
“Master Not Starving, you’re right. He really deserves a lesson. Now that he has done something bad this time, he shouldn’t shirk his responsibility!” Cheng Xuze finally made up his mind.
Cheng Hong had caused all of this trouble himself this time, so he should be taught a lesson. In the final analysis, this matter wasn’t a big deal. At most, he would lose the support of the people and couldn’t become Vice City Lord. If he changed in the future, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to rise up again.
“That’s right. Children should be allowed to fall, thus they will gain a long-lasting memory.” Shi Qingyang, who had never raised a child, said this in an old-fashioned way.
Cheng Xuze agreed very much. He immediately logged in to his account and navigated to Cheng Hong’s microblog, but he didn’t help explain. Instead, he scolded Cheng Hong for his recklessness regarding the safety of his son.
Although Ye Houan wrote the news clearly, many people didn’t believe it. After all, Cheng Hong had made many political achievements before and helped some people with difficulties in life. These people stood on Cheng Hong’s side and thought that Ye Houan’s words were malicious speculation. After all, no father would want to harm his children and treat them as enemies.
Unfortunately, just after they stood in line, Cheng Xuze let out his curses on the Internet, and Cheng Xuze’s scolding completely confirmed what Cheng Hong had done.
Did being a father mean they wouldn’t hurt their children? Cheng Xuze must really be angry with Cheng Hong if he would say this…
In fact, Cheng Xuze was not angry at the moment. After posting that microblog, he let down the ball of worry in his heart and went to bed happily. On the contrary, Cheng Hong was the furious one…
Although Cheng Hong feared sinking into trouble, he didn’t feel that anything would really happen to him. If nothing else, as long as Cheng Xuze helped him say some words, the news would be gone. But he didn’t expect that Cheng Xuze would do something like this.
Originally, as the President of Anhang City’s Radiation Energy Association, he could go to Anhang Academy to watch the competition tomorrow and try to get close to Cheng Ran to change his image. But now… How could he have the face to do this?
There was also the matter of changing the terms of the competition. It seemed he didn’t have to struggle on this matter anymore. Now there would be no public support for him, and there would be no public support for him in the future, either. All the efforts he had accumulated for half his life were gone after being scolded by Cheng Xuze like this…
Cheng Hong was furious. If he wasn’t worried about being found out, he would want to run to Cheng Xuze in the middle of the night to get to the bottom of this! Couldn’t Cheng Xuze see just how bad things were for him?
Shi Qingyang could guess what happened to Cheng Hong casually. He scrolled the news and saw that everyone was scolding Cheng Hong, and he was relieved. He went to bed early, but he didn’t know that next door, Cheng Ran was still entangled with several diehards and insisted that Shi Qingyang was really powerful. Finally, the two sides made a bet on whether Shi Qingyang could enter the top three tomorrow. For this matter, Cheng Ran also bet with the pocket money he had saved for a long time.
The next day, it was the rad-energy fighters’ competition. Shi Qingyang fell asleep while reading Cheng Hong’s news. After sleeping comfortably, he woke up and went to brush up on Cheng Hong’s news discussions, and then got up happily.
Seeing Cheng Hong’s bad luck, he was in a good mood.
The rad-energy fighter’s competition was located in the same place as yesterday, but now, instead of an empty space, a huge protective cover had been raised, which was also filled with radiant energy. All fights would be held in the protective cover, and there would be two level-4 radiant energy warriors next to it.
The students of Anhang Academy had good talents, and double B+ could be seen everywhere, and there were even some A-grade people competing. Although those in the third and fourth years couldn’t compete, the outstanding students in the first and second grades had all come. Among these people, there were even two geniuses. They had become level-3 radiation warriors despite being only 18 years old.
The people of Anhang Academy were a little arrogant. They didn’t even look at the students of the other three academies, but they didn’t know that the people of Spark Academy were actually looking at them sympathetically.
In the pharmacy competition, they were crushed by Cheng Ran. In the rad-energy fighting competition…
Shi Qingyang, that pervert, was going to participate in the radiation competition! Although this person had only been level-2 in the past, he would make all the senior year 3 students in the academy lose. That wasn’t all. Yesterday, he updated his entry materials. They saw that he had reached level-3!
The senior fourth year students who made fun of Cheng Ran before were beaten by Shi Qingyang and almost cried…
In fact, a person like this should be avoided as far as possible!
