Chapter 2436 — Youpan Hu Frowns
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Out of the corner of his eye, Youpan Hu saw Han Jingyi take out her tablet and was instantly frantic. He nearly lunged forward to stop her, but reason told him he absolutely must not. If he did, Han Jingyi and Wei Zhao would surely grow suspicious. But if he did not stop her, the data would be gone, and that was hardly what Youpan Hu wanted!
Just as Youpan Hu was caught in a dilemma, Wei Zhao spoke up. "No need to delete anything. Those robbers wouldn't understand this stuff anyway."
"Oh..." Han Jingyi hesitated for a moment, but in the end she followed Wei Zhao's advice, closed the tablet, and set it aside.
Youpan Hu let out a long breath of relief. He truly wanted to run up and plant two kisses on Wei Zhao. He was so grateful. Thank you, thank you!
But just as Youpan Hu was cheering on his side, trouble broke out on the other!
The fourth robber was heard interrogating a male student in glasses. "How come you've got so little on you? Are you hiding something?"
"I... I'm not... I'm not hiding anything..." the bespectacled student stammered.
"Nothing?" The fourth robber's eyes bulged with fury. "Then why are you so nervous?"
With that, the fourth robber began to search the bespectacled student's person. Finding nothing, he started going through his backpack, and sure enough, inside he found a brand-new full-frame DSLR camera, an ultra-thin Apple laptop, and a latest-model handheld game console!
It had to be said, this boy was well stocked. Everything on him was high-end digital gear; these items alone were worth tens of thousands of yuan.
"You little brat, you dared to lie to me?" The fourth robber swung his fist and planted a solid punch right in the bespectacled student's face. His gold-rimmed glasses went flying, half his teeth were knocked loose, and several bloody bubbles welled up in his mouth...
Watching the scene unfold, the white-collar leader felt rather helpless. He knew the boy's family background: they ran a pharmaceutical factory and were filthy rich. The boy really was a cheapskate. To get beaten up over a few tens of thousands of yuan was truly not worth it!
But behind them, Youpan Hu frowned. He was secretly annoyed that the fourth robber was making far too much of a fuss. So the boy wouldn't hand it over, so what? Why resort to violence? If this drew Wei Zhao out to intervene and provoked a backlash from the other students, things would spiral out of control!
"Brother You, actually these men are just putting on a full show," Kang Jinglong whispered. "Think about it. He's surely laying the groundwork for giving Wang Xinyan trouble in a moment. Right now he's only using the boy in glasses for practice. If he suddenly went after Wang Xinyan, everyone would find it very strange. But now that there's the precedent of the boy in glasses, what comes next will flow naturally..."
"You're right!" Youpan Hu nodded. He really had been too impatient. These men did everything by a set pattern; they were not acting at random.
Now that the boy in glasses had been made an example of for hiding his things and refusing to hand them over, none of the remaining students dared conceal anything anymore!
