There must be something wrong with me-Chapter 751 - 278: Long Time No See

At that moment, Yu God had a slight sense of admiration for King Snake.

Because he felt that Brother Wang She was defying Uncle Ling, making Uncle Ling hesitate and thus helping him vent his anger!

However.

King Snake still needed to rely on Uncle Ling for many things in the future, so after making it clear that everyone was in the same boat, he politely explained:

"Once the dormitory inspection and renovation are complete, I'll return and won't disturb the school for long, and won't cause a ruckus with the construction, affecting the students' classes.

It's not like those days; now it's all high-tech.

Some matters are handled swiftly, Brother Ling need not worry."

"Much appreciated." Uncle Ling's tone remained cheerful, seemingly not catching the underlying message, nor showing any anger, simply stating:

"Making you come all this way."

As he spoke, he suddenly extended a sincere invitation: "Since you're already here, why not come to my office for a chat? I've got some good tea."

Uncle Ling intended to take action.

His office was a perfect spot.

All he needed was for King Snake to come over, then grab him, and use tactics like 'Will you speak or not?' and 'Who else have you given my leverage to besides yourself?'

This would very likely break the deadlock.

Although it might lead to a bunch of issues, like legal inquiries.

But it was better than being passively forced by others.

Uncle Ling had made up his mind.

As long as King Snake came, he would take immediate action.

"Forget it," King Snake, however, refused to even enter the school, fundamentally dashing Uncle Ling's hopes.

Because he knew Uncle Ling absolutely harbored murderous intent towards him.

This was quite normal.

Just like when he cleaned up his act, encountering a subordinate holding his leverage meant a complete severance.

The severance was not just in relations.

But also on that subordinate himself.

Having been through these things, King Snake understood Uncle Ling's mindset.

Wasn't it an attempt to trick him into the office, find a way to detain him, and extract some intel?

For instance, where he had hidden Uncle Ling's leverage or whether he had entrusted it to someone else?

But truth be told, King Snake had entrusted it to no one.

Because King Snake didn't trust anyone.

So, if faced with Uncle Ling's severe interrogation, he might get beaten to death without revealing a thing.

But there was also a possibility that Uncle Ling, deeming him tight-lipped, might cautiously let go of the already irreconcilable situation.

Anyway, entering the school was a gamble.

King Snake wasn't game.

If anything should be done, he'd let his trusted brothers handle it.

"Brother Ling, wanna meet outside?"

However, although King Snake knew Uncle Ling's intentions, he didn't openly confront him, instead feigning ignorance:

"I've booked a restaurant in the city, want to grab a drink?"

"Forget about it." Seeing King Snake's caution, Uncle Ling dropped the subject.

He didn't believe a few words could make someone abandon caution and take the bait.

Both sides were holding leverage against the other, incapable of using 'interests' as bait to achieve coercion.

Now, it was more about reluctant cooperation.

The fault partly lay in Uncle Ling's rapid rise, causing him to be dragged by King Snake.

Now Uncle Ling realized that brothers who knew everything about you might not help you, but they could ruin you for sure.

...

Ten minutes later.

Four killers posing as material inspectors had arrived under Zhang Feng's dormitory.

At this moment.

They seemed to be feigning inspection, but were actually observing the vicinity for surveillance signals while checking the floor Zhang Feng was on.

Zhang Feng's location was on the fifth floor, room 502.

It was a double dormitory.

Not large, without a private bathroom, but it had a small balcony.

From downstairs, one could see the lights were on in Zhang Feng's room.

And there were a few pieces of clothing hanging on the rack, mostly belonging to Zhang Feng's roommate.

Currently, his roommate had already gone home after class.

On Fridays, the school was largely open; students could return home or choose to stay.

But most chose to return home or go out with friends.

Thus, there weren't many students in the dormitory building at the moment.

Still, the four killers maintained their professional inspector guise and slowly approached the second floor.

They planned to go up floor by floor, eventually observing Zhang Feng's position and status.

Because this was an elite extraordinary school.

Some students here were highly perceptive, with strong combat skills, and keen human instincts.

So if they didn't act professionally enough, it wouldn't take a surveillance scan to raise suspicions.

These students would come up to inquire first.

Plus, whether there were teachers or security personnel patrolling the floors.

Such issues needed preemptive measures.

But it was precisely due to King Snake's previous threatening words.

That made Uncle Ling, after some contemplation, inform the school staff that 'Chairman He's people are inspecting, do not disturb'.

Although it would increase assumptions of involvement after the incident tomorrow, it was better than getting exposed now.

Uncle Ling was now in a dilemma.

Many intertwined issues, like King Snake's leverage, Yu God's car accident, today's killer prelude, and his desire to sever ties and redeem himself.

Amidst a tangle of emotions.

He could still devise suitable and reasonable strategies, proving his seasoned experience.

Yet, he had also become a 'very conflicted person'.

Meanwhile, by the dormitory.
