He said he doesn't love me

It was already past eight o'clock when we left Zhong Caiye's house.

Sun Ran looked down at his phone and found that Zhang Xu had sent him a message half an hour ago, saying that he couldn't go back tonight due to something and asked him not to worry.

"Oh..." Sun Ran sighed, put his phone in his pocket, and planned to walk around.

After half a month of intervention, he was exhausted. He wanted to make a quick decision so that he would have more time to do other things. So he proposed several times to take drastic measures, but was severely rejected by Zhong Caiye.

He said his condition was not as serious as he had imagined, but it was more complicated and he had to undergo counseling.

Sun Ran found a corner to sit down, closed his eyes and tried to let the passing wind take away the desolation in his heart. However, the wind did not understand his sorrow and just hurried away.

"turn out to be……"

Is this what loneliness feels like?

He had no friends he truly trusted, and no family members who would listen to him. He suddenly missed them who were far away in China.

Lele, Doudou, Doubao, Li Cheng and his brothers would never let him sit outside alone.

He thought for a long time, then slowly opened his eyes, stood up and walked towards the apartment.

There were brightly lit high-rise buildings ahead, but Sun Ran didn't have any yearning for the city's fireworks in his eyes. He was really tired, a kind of tiredness that was hard to describe, and even raising his fingers slightly seemed to have used up all his strength.

After crossing the bustling street, he stood at the alley again. Sun Ran stopped and looked into the distance, and couldn't help but think of that hopelessly stupid man.

No one had bothered him these days, which was something Sun Ran had never expected. Since the other party already knew that he was in New York, it was impossible for them to remain indifferent.

So now, is this the calm before the storm?

He looked until his eyes became sore, then he withdrew his gaze and was about to leave.

"Tang Chen, save me!"

Suddenly, a heart-wrenching cry for help came from the alley, forcing Sun Ran to stop again.

If the voice was calling someone else, he might have turned around and left, but now, the voice was calling Tang Chen.

Could it be that the person inside recognized me?

Sun Ran stood there in a daze, lowering his eyes and thinking about everyone he knew. Who was that voice?

Not like Zhang Xu, nor like Zhong Caiye.

Could it be a classmate?

Sun Ran frowned slightly. Without time to think, he immediately picked up a brick from the corner, weighed it in his hand, and walked towards the voice.

"Tang Chen, save me, save me!!"

As he got closer, he saw a group of tall men viciously forcing a man into a corner. The leader was holding a corner of a schoolbag strap in his hand. This scene was really not easy to deal with, and Sun Ran subconsciously wanted to leave, but when he saw the man's face clearly, he stopped.

The man in the corner was wearing a pair of black glasses, with bangs covering his eyes, and he was wearing a T-shirt and jeans that had been washed to a bleached state. He looked so white and clean that he seemed particularly easy to bully.

It was Sun Ran’s current squad leader—Feng Qi.

Sun Ran curled his lips. No wonder he could call out his name. It turned out to be him.

When the leader saw someone coming, he immediately pushed Feng Qi to the ground with a palm, turned around and glared at Sun Ran fiercely, "Boy, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business, get out of here quickly, and I will pretend that I didn't see you!"

As he spoke, he spat in Sun Ran's direction and raised his fist threateningly, clearly telling Sun Ran that he would be beaten if he meddled in other people's business.

"Brother, let's talk it over. I don't know how my friend has offended you. I'll take care of it. What do you think?" Sun Ran threw the brick away and spread his hands to show that he had no ill intentions. "How about this, I'll give you money. Can you let my friend go back first? Otherwise, if his parents find out, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to handle it, right?"

"Get lost, don't you understand?!" The younger brother beside him waved his fist and was about to hit him. Sun Ran's eyes turned cold and he immediately raised his foot and kicked the man in the abdomen. "I'm talking to my big brother, who do you think you are?!"

"Ugh..." The person who was kicked never thought that this person would have the courage to resist. He was caught off guard and squatted aside in so much pain that he couldn't recover for a long time.

Sun Ran used all his strength in that kick, with the purpose of letting them know that if they wanted to touch him, they should first consider whether they were qualified.

"Brother, I'll give you this face." The leader lifted his hair and squinted at Sun Ran. "You know Zhang Xu, right? That guy owed me money, and I just happened to meet his brother, so I thought I could get some back. We didn't mean any other things, and it's only natural to pay back debts, don't you think?"

Feng Qi's eyes widened instantly when he heard that, "Zhao Erbiao, you are talking nonsense! It was obviously you who took advantage of your power and was kicked out of the North District by Brother Zhang. You are deliberately seeking revenge! You still owe Brother Zhang money. A pair of Brother Zhang's shoes is enough for you to live for three to five years. You still owe me money!" As he spoke, he propped himself up and stood up, holding the schoolbag tightly in his arms, looking at everyone with a vigilant face.

Sun Ran raised his eyebrows, probably understanding what they meant. "Zhao Erbiao, right? How about this, you take your people away, and I will pretend that I didn't see anything today. Otherwise... you can't afford to offend Zhang Xu, right?"

They must be someone they cannot afford to offend, so they chose today on purpose. Moreover, they should be 100% sure that Zhang Xu is not here today, which is why they dare to act so recklessly.

"You're nothing! I advise you to stop meddling in other people's business and beat him up! Beat him into submission and let him take advantage of the power of others. Zhang Xu is just trash. He's not even worthy of carrying my shoes! Bah!" Zhao Erbiao waved to his brothers with an indifferent look on his face. They smiled at each other and surrounded Sun Ran while moving their hands and feet.

Sun Ran raised his eyes and looked at everyone who was taller than him, and sighed silently in his heart, "Zhao Erbiao, have you heard of An Yuan? Even if you haven't heard of An Yuan, Ming Lang should have heard of it, right?" He said in a relaxed tone, without even retreating a step.

This calm look actually made Zhao Erbiao and the others stunned. This was the first time that someone was not afraid of them, and it was a young boy they had never seen before.

"...Which group are you from?" Zhao Erbiao's face changed instantly when he heard the names of these two organizations.

At that time, the power of the Three Dark Ones was overwhelming, and he often heard his parents mention these two names, but he didn't know much about them. He only knew that they were weapons that killed people without blinking an eye, and in their eyes, human life was like grass, vulnerable to a single blow.

"It seems that you have heard of it. Then I advise you to leave quickly if you want to live. If my people come later, they will not let you stand and talk to me." Sun Ran curled the corner of his mouth and deliberately raised his hand and turned his wrist, without any fear.

Zhao Erbiao couldn't help swallowing his saliva and turned to look at his younger brother, "Didn't you say that Zhang Xu is the most powerful person in the North District? When did such a kid appear?!"

The younger brother was also confused. He didn't even know who the other person was talking about. Hearing this, he waved his hands hurriedly, "Boss, he must be lying to you! Zhang Xu is not here, he is just pretending to be powerful!"

"That's it!"

"Boss, he just wanted to scare us on purpose!"

"Nothing he says is believable, Boss, beat him up!!"

They said it was intentional and intimidating, trying to get Zhao Erbiao to give orders to deal with the other party. But Zhao Erbiao was unmoved. There were only four words circling in his mind: Dark Kite and Ming Lang.

"Brother, what...is your last name?" Zhao Erbiao forced a smile and walked forward to ask.

Sun Ran raised his eyebrows and asked sarcastically, "Why, you're not going to hit me anymore?"

"Don't be offended by their ignorance." Zhao Erbiao waved his hands at his brothers, signaling them to step aside. "What's your last name?"

"Tang, but... my friend's last name is Sun." Sun Ran shrugged. "Since you know Ming Lang and An Yuan, you should know what the last name Sun means, right?"

Zhao Erbiao lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, but in the end he did not dare to verify whether what the other party said was true, so he turned around and left with his men.

If the other party was real, he couldn't afford to offend him. If the other party was fake, and this person knew Ming Lang and An Yuan, he couldn't afford to offend him either.

It’s better to go first.

Sun Ran quietly watched their backs. When they were out of sight, he turned to look at Feng Qi, "Is it Zhang Xu who has a grudge against him or you?"

Feng Qi brushed off the dust on his butt and bowed deeply to Sun Ran, "Thank you for saving me. But he has no grudge against any of us. He used to be a younger brother of Brother Zhang like me, but later he relied on Brother Zhang's name to bully others outside, and when he was discovered, Brother Zhang kicked him out."

Isn't this a typical case of bullying by taking advantage of one's power? It just got discovered.

Sun Ran nodded thoughtfully, then pointed at himself blankly, "Will he retaliate against me? Just like he retaliated against you today?"

Feng Qi couldn't help but frowned when he heard that, "Zhao Erbiao is a person who bullies the weak and fears the strong. If he knew that what you just said was a lie to him, he would definitely not let you go... Oh, it's us." He looked at Sun Ran's small body and couldn't help but worry.

They don’t know when Zhang Xu will come back, and it’s also a question whether they can wait for Zhang Xu to come back alive.

"...Who said I was lying to him?" Sun Ran glanced at him and clapped his hands. "Don't I look like a gangster?"

Feng Qi looked him up and down and shook his head honestly, "No, he looks more like a rich young man who ran away from home."

His fair face and blue hair parted in a 3:7 ratio looked like they were covered with a layer of silver under the light, which made his red lips and white teeth look very beautiful.

Sun Ran pursed his lips speechlessly, then turned and walked out of the alley.

Seeing this, Feng Qi hurriedly caught up with him, expressed his gratitude to the other party again, and hurried home.

"This man looks so strong, why is he so timid?" Sun Ran frowned and looked at the direction he left, then turned and walked towards the apartment.

It took so long, luckily tomorrow is Saturday, otherwise he would be late tomorrow morning.

“Snap, snap!”

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps behind him that did not belong to him. Sun Ran's heart was alarmed and he bit his lower lip and reached into his pocket.

Not until the hilt of the knife was firmly grasped in his hand did he calm down and pretended nothing had happened and continued to move forward.

"Clap! Clap!"

The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Sun Ran glanced to the side and back, and suddenly turned around, with the knife in his hand moving straight towards the face of the person who was coming.

"Ding!!"

The man's pupils suddenly dilated, and he subconsciously raised his hand to block. Sun Ran thought he could hurt the other party, but he never expected to hear the sound of metal colliding.

Things went against his expectations, and Sun Ran hastily pulled his hand back and kicked the man. Unexpectedly, the man was not hurt at all after being kicked, and he slapped away Sun Ran's weapon for self-defense with one palm.

In just a moment, he was behind Sun Ran.

Sun Ran was about to run away, but the next second, he felt a sharp pain in his neck.

What a speed! !

Sun Ran couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He thought that his study during this period would protect him, but he fell into the enemy's hands in less than three moves. He took a deep breath and waited for the other party to free him with a knife.

"Master Sun, your Kung Fu has improved!" The man looked down at Sun Ran, who looked indifferent to life and death, and couldn't help but raise his lips, "Master, please don't blame me. My master has invited me, but I am afraid that you don't want to meet him, so I specially asked me to invite you to a gathering."

As he spoke, the man retracted his force but did not put away the knife, so that Sun Ran was always under his control and made sure that he could not escape under his nose.
