Supremely Talented Tyrant

Chapter 2147: Chapter 2348: Watching the Show!

Just like that, he stood outside in the corridor from the morning reading session until the second class ended. He didn’t take a break at any point; since he came out to stand, he’s been standing there without moving.

Fatty Hu Lai and the others found it a bit strange. Boss Hao would even dare to skip class, so why is he just standing here obediently this time without even lazily cheating? They silently concluded that it must be Li Weiwei’s lingering authority that scared Hao Jian into not daring to act up and obediently stand there as punishment.

Therefore, they all unanimously thought that the class teacher’s lingering authority was indeed immense. Even someone like Hao Jian, who usually either sleeps in class or skips it, is now too afraid to move a muscle under the teacher’s "five-finger grasp."

And just like that, Li Weiwei achieved her purpose. By using Hao Jian, she quietly maximized her authority and influence, making everyone witness Hao Jian standing there in such an obedient manner, and not daring to cause any more trouble for Li Weiwei. If anyone did, the consequences would be terrifying.

With this in mind, the second class had already ended, and people in the classroom started to slowly walk out, heading to the playground for the break exercises. But since Hao Jian was being punished to stand, he didn’t go for the exercises. He Qiqi also didn’t go, as Li Weiwei had instructed her to watch over Hao Jian and make sure he didn’t slack off.

So, while others left, she stayed to watch Hao Jian and didn’t go to the playground for exercises.

At this moment, she stood in the corridor, feeling somewhat awkward because it was just her and Hao Jian there. She adjusted her glasses and said, "Well... you’ve been standing here since the morning reading session until now, are you tired? If you’re tired, slacking off a bit is okay, I won’t tell the teacher."

Pausing for a moment, she added, "Don’t worry, the class teacher will definitely be at the playground during break, she won’t come over here, so you don’t have to worry about her."

Hao Jian listened, smiling. He knew He Qiqi had a good heart, which is why she was saying this to him. But he also thought she was a bit slow on the uptake in situations other than studying; if he wanted to slack, one of her alone wouldn’t be able to stop him.

Even if Li Weiwei stood in front of him, he wouldn’t take it seriously. This was something Liang Xiaohan would understand deeply, and Zhang Danlin might think so too; only someone like He Qiqi, who put all her energy into studying, would think like that. However, seeing her awkward expression, he guessed she was saying this to ease the awkwardness and understood.

He crossed his arms, smiled, and said, "No need, if you’ve done something wrong, you should be punished; standing here doesn’t tire me out."

Upon hearing this, He Qiqi nodded with an "oh," and didn’t say anything else. She wondered when Hao Jian had developed such high awareness? She couldn’t help but be puzzled.

Because of this, they couldn’t find a common ground to continue the conversation, so He Qiqi stopped talking. Even though she felt a bit awkward, she kept standing there watching Hao Jian. Later, feeling perhaps a bit too uncomfortable being watched by Hao Jian, she returned to the classroom.

The break exercises didn’t take long, and soon a set was completed, and students gradually made their way back to the classroom. Before long, the teaching building was filled with students coming upstairs, Hu Lai and Fatty came back, followed by Liang Xiaohan and the others.

As they passed by Hao Jian, Fatty gave him a cheeky look and said, "Come on! Boss! You’re the best!"

Seeing Fatty’s smug face, if he stayed a second longer, Hao Jian would have kicked him hard enough to send him sprawling. Fortunately, Fatty had the sense to know Hao Jian was good at fighting, so he quickly skedaddled after speaking. Then Liang Xiaohan merely glanced at him as she passed by and walked straight on, and Hao Jian caught a whiff of her light fragrance.

The light scent was carried over by the wind as Liang Xiaohan walked past him.

However, just then, four or five people suddenly walked down the corridor, staring at Hao Jian with mocking smiles on their faces, silently approaching him. As they came over, although it was not yet time for class, there were initially some people standing outside in the corridor, but upon seeing them, everyone quickly made way as if they were terribly frightened.

"Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Isn’t this our well-known Hao Jian? How did you end up being punished to stand like this?" one of them immediately sneered as they reached Hao Jian.

Instantly, everyone around was drawn by these words, and upon seeing who it was, they were all so startled that they quickly moved away, distancing themselves from them and from Hao Jian. Hao Jian gave a sideways glance and immediately recognized who they were.

This group was none other than Gu Peng and his usual followers. Seeing them, Hao Jian showed a look of disdain—these troublemakers sure picked their moments carefully. Whenever it was the worst possible time, they would appear, always with such energy.

He glanced over casually, pretending not to notice them at all, completely ignoring them. The three or four people beside Gu Peng were furious at this scene, thinking: I’m right here and you’re still acting like this, who the hell do you think you are, putting on this stinky attitude.

But Gu Peng had greeted Hao Jian a few times before, and he was well aware of Hao Jian’s temperament, so he didn’t get angry, just smiled and silently walked a few steps closer to Hao Jian, looked at him up and down, clicked his tongue a few times, and said, "Yo! Haven’t seen you in a few days, but you’re still the same, even more arrogant now, not knowing why you fell into such a situation, or what you did to get yourself punished to stand?"

After finishing, he clicked his tongue a few more times and said, "Is this still the same Hao Jian who dared to bet with me on Friday? Scared of the teacher? The teacher told you to stand and you just obediently stayed here to get punished? You don’t find it embarrassing, but I sure do!"

Hao Jian looked on, ignoring him, thinking that this kind of person is really too boring. Precisely because of boredom, they look for even more boring things to do, like what was happening now, so he had no mood to pay attention, acting as if he didn’t see or hear him at all.

Gu Peng saw this, thinking his goading had angered Hao Jian, felt a bit pleased inside. Just as he was thinking of more words to provoke Hao Jian, Liang Xiaohan heard the commotion and stepped out of the classroom, looking at him with contempt.

"That’s all you’ve got to say?" Liang Xiaohan suddenly said.

Instantly, everyone turned to look at Liang Xiaohan, drawn by her words. Gu Peng also heard it and turned to see Liang Xiaohan, and a few of his underlings immediately got angry, raising their hands ready to teach Liang Xiaohan a lesson, but he stopped them.

At this moment, Gu Peng looked over at Liang Xiaohan, glanced at her, then withdrew his gaze, and looked at Hao Jian again, saying, "Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! So now you need a girl to defend and protect you?"

Hao Jian still smiled, and at this time Fatty Hu Lai along with Zheng Jun, Zhang Danlin, and He Qiqi also heard the outside commotion and stepped out.

Fatty Hu Lai and the others silently stood by Hao Jian’s side, their eyes already expressing that if Gu Peng’s group dared to make a move, they would too. Seeing this, Hao Jian was silently gratified, deeply touched by their actions.

For him, Fatty Hu Lai and others were willing to offend someone like Gu Peng, the campus bully; their loyalty was indeed deep.

Seeing all this movement, Gu Peng laughed again, saying, "Alright, alright, no need to act like you’re facing a calamity, I’m just here to watch some jokes, but look how stirred up you all are, getting worked up over a small matter, calm down."

Gu Peng was in a teasing mood when he spoke, and although the crowd was a bit angry at first, given the public provocation, after hearing his words, they became even angrier, thinking this was too arrogant. However, they only dared to be angry without daring to speak, as standing out for Hao Jian was challenging enough, and confronting someone like Gu Peng might be a bit too unrealistic.

Gu Peng saw their reluctance, sensing they wouldn’t act rashly, smiled in a very mocking way.

He suddenly turned and waved to his underlings, saying, "Let’s go! We’re leaving! No need to stay here watching people embarrass themselves."

Those few underlings, who had done a lot of sucking up and flattering, heard Gu Peng speak and cooperated, laughing out loud.

"Let’s go, nothing interesting about this embarrassment, we’ve seen enough."

"Yeah, there’s nothing interesting about being embarrassed, we’ve seen enough, right."

"Haha..." Gu Peng laughed.

However, just as his laughter started but hadn’t stopped, a sharp glint suddenly appeared in Hao Jian’s eyes and the corner of his mouth gently lifted, he suddenly stretched his foot and hooked it towards Gu Peng’s foot.

And it happened all in just a moment...
