CHAPTER 406: CHAPTER 406 THE MASTERMIND BEHIND

"That’s the educated youth station up ahead," Zhao Gang pointed to the house ahead.

"As for where Wang Gang lives, I don’t know." Zhao Gang didn’t care about the educated youth, plus Wang Gang wasn’t part of the Red Flag Brigade, so why would he pay attention?

Zhao Gang regretted that if he had known ahead of time such things would happen, he should have familiarized himself with the situation of some of these educated youths.

"I know," Wan Qiweng said. She knew the place.

"A classmate of mine used to be an educated youth here. I found out when I visited her," Wan Qiweng walked ahead, leading the group to Wang Gang’s house.

She explained why she knew the place, "It used to be bustling here, but once those with connections went back, it wasn’t as lively, and there were fewer disputes."

They quietly approached Wang Gang’s door, ready to kick it open and beat him up. After all, this guy offended many people, leaving him guessing who was out to get him.

However, before they could enter, they heard panting sounds. Zhao Gang felt something was off, "Xuran, take Ni Zi aside."

Wasn’t he supposed to be single, without a girlfriend? Why were there such sounds?

Even though Zhao Xuran was smart, he was still a child, unable to understand much. Initially, he thought it might be asthma, "Dad, is someone having an attack?"

Gong Ruini, pretending to be a child, instantly knew there was piston-like activity going on inside, which complicated matters.

They had come to teach Wang Gang a lesson but couldn’t mess with his woman too. Although Gong Ruini believed anyone close to Wang Gang wasn’t good, the woman was innocent.

Zhao Gang and the others were considering what to do. Giving up wasn’t their style, especially after suffering a lot on the cold journey here. Were they supposed to come again another day?

"Maybe we should wait, or go in and knock the woman out?" Gong Tao thought this plan was good.

Zhao Gang considered it, and just then, they heard panting conversation from inside, "I’m telling you, Cai Ming has long been ready for the college entrance exam."

"He used to read often at the educated youth station. I don’t know how long he plans to read as a teacher at the Red Flag Brigade."

"And what about his brother-in-law? Do you think he reads less? You must deal with them."

Dong Juan’s growing resentment made her hate Cai Ming more and more. Why was her life so hard while Cai Ming could live well, soon to leave for college?

This woman must be Dong Juan, Wan Qiweng had interacted with her and recognized her voice quickly. Oh, so two of Cai Ming’s enemies conspired, no, Dong Juan instigated Wang Gang.

"I finally understand why Wang Gang hates Cai Ming so much," previously, Wan Qiweng couldn’t understand Wang Gang’s animosity toward Cai Ming, especially since they rarely interacted. Now it all made sense.

Cai Ming was bewildered, especially hearing Dong Juan speak of her hatred for him. He couldn’t grasp it, "How long have I been over there, and I’m a newcomer, how could I bully her?"

To Cai Ming, it seemed all the misfortune was Dong Juan’s failed schemes. What did that have to do with him?

"That woman’s crazy." Gong Ruini thought Dong Juan sounded insane. Her life was her doing, so why blame Cai Ming?

The conversation inside got more absurd, and Gong Tao’s face turned grim, "Get in fast and heavily teach those two a lesson."

Dong Juan must be dealt with, or who knows how much chaos she’d stir.

As Zhao Gang’s group was about to act, Wang Gang spoke from inside, "I’m telling you, you have to sabotage them during their exam so they can’t take it."

"What if we can’t stop them?" Wang Gang calculated the people at his disposal. They weren’t enough, "Zhao He and his group refuse to join, even that kid Cao Weidong hesitates greatly."

"Do you think they were taught a lesson by Cai Ming before? Otherwise, why are they all hiding?"

Yeah, teaching Cai Ming a lesson sounded unreliable, "Only you would believe that. Zhao He probably went and had a fling somewhere, got into some trouble, then blamed Cai Ming so you’d pay up."

"If Cai Ming really knew martial arts, how would I not know? We were in the same educated youth station," Dong Juan recalled and couldn’t remember any martial arts from Cai Ming, "He’s just a student who worked a lot at home."

Listening to Dong Juan’s words, Wang Gang considered it plausible but felt he had to prepare, "What if they still go to the exam?"

Once in the exam venue, it wasn’t something Wang could control. If he could manage it, he’d already manipulate things for himself, passing the exam to return to the city gloriously.

"Aren’t you dating the commune secretary’s daughter? Why not ask her to talk to her dad and get Cai Ming’s group rejected," Dong Juan didn’t feel it was an issue at all, easily solvable.

Really? Wang Gang dating the secretary’s daughter while being involved with Dong Juan on the side. What a sly guy.

No, they’re plotting against people. If Dong Juan’s plan succeeded, even if they scored well, their records might get them eliminated, oh dear.

Everyone, including Gong Ruini, was furious. This injustice was more irritating than failing the exam. What to do?

As those outside thought about how to handle it, Wang inside began speaking again, "Then why don’t you also talk to Luo Xiaojun? His dad is President Luo of the commune."

So, now they’re connected to the commune president too? Wow, Gong Ruini thought these people were highly capable, forging connections left and right.

Their father, Zhao Gang, and his team did so many good deeds yet couldn’t connect to high-level figures, yet these two easily linked to top people’s children, amazing.

"I’ll talk on my side, and you talk on yours."

"Alright then."

"By the way, you’re staying at my place today. Does Luo Xiaojun know? If he finds out..."

Even Zhao Gang’s group outside could hear Wang Gang’s trembling voice.

"Pah, what a coward. If you dare to do this, don’t be a wimp," Wan Qiweng had nothing but disdain for people like that. Disregarding their connections, but just the malevolent attitude made them contemptible.
