Chapter 92: A Romantic Scandal

Chen Erpao kept dodging her attacks as he said, "Damn it, have you gotten addicted to this? Stop already. I'm not going to play along with you anymore."

Zhang Sisi gave no reply. Her face flushed with anger as she kept swinging her small pink fists at him. It had to be said that an enraged expression, combined with the violent rise and fall of her ample chest as she moved, possessed a rather peculiar allure.

"Red."

Chen Erpao suddenly burst out with a teasing laugh.

Zhang Sisi froze in confusion and stopped at once. "What red?" she demanded.

Following his gaze, she looked down and saw that a large section of her red bra had somehow slipped into view. She immediately figured it must have been exposed by all that frantic movement, but then she remembered that Chen Erpao had been staring for quite a while, and she instantly flew into another rage, sending her little fists flying again.

After quite a while, the two of them finally came out together, though Zhang Sisi's expression made it look as if she had just been bullied by some lecherous neighborhood uncle.

"Sisi, what's going on? Don't tell me you two made up again. What were you doing in there just now..." Their two companions circled around her, giggling.

Zhang Sisi shot them both a fierce glare and hurried out the door. Wang Xing and the others widened their eyes at Chen Erpao with expressions that clearly said, "Oh, we get it."

No one had expected that the very next day, this incident would cause quite a stir. By coincidence, a reporter happened to be in the bar and secretly captured everything on film. The next day's newspaper put Chen Erpao and Zhang Sisi on the front page. A report titled "Newly Rising Triad Boss Caught in a Love Scandal" instantly became the center of public attention.

At the same time, another person learned of Chen Erpao because of that report and came to regard him as a mortal enemy.

In a traffic division office in Tuen Mun, Zhang Sisi, dressed in a tight-fitting female police uniform, with her skirt revealing a pair of black-stockinged legs, was staring furiously at a newspaper.

At that moment, a tall man with the handsome face of a mixed-race man stormed over and slammed down another newspaper. The headline on it was exactly "Newly Rising Triad Boss Caught in a Love Scandal."

"What is this supposed to mean? Have you no shame? You actually went and fought with a bar girl over a man?"

Zhang Sisi nearly exploded on the spot. She glared at him and snapped back without any courtesy, "Yu Yang, what's wrong with you? This paper is full of lies. Besides, I have nothing to do with you. It's none of your business to lecture me."

Yu Yang's face turned dark with anger in an instant. "Sisi, don't forget that we're getting engaged in a month. I don't want people pointing at my back and gossiping."

"Forget it," Zhang Sisi said firmly, without the slightest hesitation. "I will never agree."

A flash of malice swept across Yu Yang's eyes, so quick it was almost impossible to catch. Looking at Zhang Sisi's alluring figure, desire filled him.

"You belong to me. No one is going to take you from me. Don't forget, this was arranged by our parents. Whether you agree or not, it doesn't matter. As for this so-called newly rising boss, Chen Erpao, I'll let him know what a real man looks like. A little punk like him is nothing."

Zhang Sisi seemed deeply displeased with his self-important attitude. She shot him a look of disgust, turned her face away, and said no more.

Yu Yang seemed to realize that saying anything further would only make him look foolish. He gave a faint smile and turned to leave, though under his breath he muttered, "Let's see how long you can keep acting so proud. A woman I, Yu Yang, want has never escaped me. When that day comes, I'll make sure to have my way with you properly."

At Lingnan University, Chen Erpao once again put on the security uniform he had been away from for some time. Though he now had another identity, in his view the job of a guard was actually quite decent. When there was nothing to do, he could glance at the fresh-faced schoolgirls, which was rather pleasant. Unfortunately, he still did not know that he had already made it to the newspaper front page.

When Wang Xing brought a newspaper to him, Chen Erpao was instantly stunned. There went his hard-earned reputation. Just yesterday his grandmother had passed away, and now this had happened. If Wang Xuemei found out, he would be sleeping on the couch for at least a month.

"Yellow Hair, immediately take people to every newsstand and buy up all the copies of today's Weekly Entertainment News. Remember, buy them all. Then go to the paper and ask them to replace today's front-page story. And remember, be polite. We're all gangsters in suits and ties now, not low-grade street punks."

In an instant, Chen Erpao called Yellow Hair. As long as that paper existed for one more minute, he would be in one more minute of danger. He only hoped Wang Xuemei had not seen it yet.

After that, such a scene appeared at newsstands all over Tuen Mun: a group of tattooed, rough-looking young men, yet behaving with remarkable courtesy, buying up every copy of that day's Weekly Entertainment News.

Chen Erpao was, after all, now the deputy captain. In addition to staying in the security office, he also had to patrol the campus most of the time.

Xiao Li, Chen Erpao's first disciple, and so far his only one, had over this period not only learned several boxing forms and methods of strengthening his body and building strength from this rather unqualified master, but had also learned quite a lot from Wang Xing. His body was obviously much sturdier now than it had been before.

"Xiao Li, tell me what's been happening at school lately. You're in there all day, so you should know best," Chen Erpao said, pulling his disciple to a secluded spot. The two of them promptly lay down on the ground and basked in the sun.

Xiao Li thought for a moment and said, "Lately, a guy called Coffin has appeared on campus. He's very arrogant. I heard his big brother, Ghost Head, is also from the Righteous Gate and holds some kind of rank. He seems to have been one of Yellow Hair's earliest people. Quite a few students at school have been taking K powder recently, and they've all been led by him. I wanted to tell you before, but I was afraid it might be something you had approved, and that I'd be sticking my nose in where it didn't belong, so I never said anything."

Chen Erpao was shocked. "Oh? So that's what it is."

He had specifically ordered back then that no one in the organization was to touch drugs, and that no one was to lure students into the underworld. Yet now not only was someone recruiting students as underlings, there might even be drug dealing going on behind his back.

Xiao Li nodded and continued, "I only happened to run into it once, then asked one of them before I found out. Otherwise it would have been hard to notice. And there's more: I heard the four great family beauties are secretly looking for a student with five black dots on the sole of his foot, and it seems they're slowly getting somewhere."

This time Chen Erpao was not surprised at all. When the four beauties of the Four Great Clans had entered Lingnan University together, he had already known it was not simply for school. Later, after learning from his grandmother about the Pirate King's secret, it was clear they must have come for the Pirate King's treasure as well. Wang Xuemei had five black dots on the sole of her foot, and as a descendant of the Pirate King, she was certainly their target. It seemed that from now on he would have to protect her safety. The Four Great Clans would surely make a move.
