Crazy Smartphone – Part One

They hadn’t gone far when four more thugs came running towards them, shouting as they approached. “Hey, Jin Feng, Yin Feng, who’s this guy?” The leader, a tall, skinny guy with red hair, pointed at Lin Feng and demanded to know. The two girls seemed quite familiar with the quartet. “You four big idiots, why are you so late? Come and meet Hero Bro!” “Exactly, you four big idiots, we almost got disfigured and raped if it weren’t for our big brother here stepping in to help.” “Listen up, Hero Bro knows kung fu; he just beat Wu Heigou and his two cronies with just a few punches and kicks. So, we’ve decided, from today, Hero Bro is our new boss! Red Hair, don’t be upset. You know how tough Wu Heigou and his gang are, and Hero Bro took them down single-handedly. Can any of you do that? Follow our new boss, and we’ll dominate the entire Yushan City, eating the best and drinking the finest!” “He took down three of Wu Heigou’s guys all by himself?!” Red Hair and his friends looked incredulous. “Red Hair! If you don’t believe it, come and try him!” “Yeah, yeah, Big Bro will definitely knock your noses out with one punch!” “Hey, you four, got it? From now on, we’re all with Hero Bro! Hee hee… call him Hero Bro!” “What are you standing there for? Call him!” The two delinquent girls were acting like the wives of a mountain king, bossing the four thugs around. “Hero Bro…” “Boss…” The four thugs complied obediently. “Hehe… hehehe… you really want me to be your boss, hehe… hehehe…” Lin Feng seemed somewhat overwhelmed by the honor, but he didn’t say much, just gave a silly laugh in acknowledgment. He leaned comfortably into the arms of the two girls, seemingly accepting the title with ease. “Long live Hero Bro!” Seeing Lin Feng accept his new role, the two girls cheered exaggeratedly, their faces beaming with joy. “Hehe… hehehe… long live everyone, long live everyone!” “Yay! Hero Bro, give our gang a name!” “Yes, yes, let’s call it ‘Untouchable’, hahaha…” “No, no, it should be ‘Untouchable by Balls’!” “I heard it’s called ‘No Balls’, hahahaha…” Red Hair feigned a kick at the two thugs beside him, laughing, “Stop talking nonsense, ‘Untouchable by Balls’, ‘No Balls’, how vulgar. Our new boss, Cao Nan, has just been dubbed ‘Can’t Go In’, no lies, don’t talk if you don’t know the truth!” “Fuck! Who are you calling ‘Can’t Go In’? Bring your sister here, and I’ll show you if I can go in or not!” “I spit! Cao Nan, you dare to show your face on the streets? I heard you refuse to pay when you lose a bet, causing those students to distrust us street folks, saying we’re not trustworthy. Damn, you ‘Can’t Go In’, you have the audacity to live?” “Lin Feng, you dare spread rumors about me!” Cao Nan, feeling guilty, didn’t pursue the argument with Red Hair but instead pointed at Lin Feng’s nose and cursed. Lin Feng smiled faintly, “That’s not true, Boss Cao, don’t listen to their nonsense, I didn’t even talk to them…” Jin Feng dramatically interrupted Lin Feng, throwing herself into his arms with an adoring look, “Ah… Hero Bro… you, you, are you Lin Feng? The one who defeated Cao Nan at the basketball court today?” Lin Feng nodded, acknowledging it. Yin Feng shrieked, “Big Bro, I heard Cao Nan refuses to pay when he loses, is that true?” Lin Feng nodded, but quickly added, “It’s just a jest, forget about the money, I wasn’t planning on taking it anyway!” Seeing this, Red Hair was furious and immediately pointed at Cao Nan, cursing, “Cao Can’t Go In, listen up, Lin Feng is now our boss, and if you dare not pay after losing a bet, hand over the money!” “Hand over the money!” The two girls cheered from behind, encouraging Lin Feng. “Pay up or we’ll cut you down!” The other thugs roared in unison. “Fuck, Lin Feng, it’s just four thousand bucks, did I say I wouldn’t pay? We’re schoolmates, do you really need to bring so many people to embarrass me?” “Hero Bro, this Cao Can’t Go In is too despicable, we must teach him a lesson!” “Yeah, Big Bro, this Cao Can’t Go In is so bad! And those two guys with him, they can’t be good either. From the moment they arrived, they’ve been staring at my and my sister’s chest. Big Bro, you must punish them today.” “Damn, if he loses a bet and doesn’t pay, why waste words? Let’s go, guys, take them down, don’t let our Hero Bro lose face!” Red Hair, already leading the charge towards Cao Nan’s lackeys. The four thugs, looking fierce, pulled out gleaming machetes, each over two feet long, creating an intimidating spectacle. “Fuck, Lin Feng, come at me if you dare, this has nothing to do with them, let your lackeys spare them! You just want money, right? Just say the word, I’ve got money!” “Cao Can’t Go In, less talk, you owe us, pay up!” “Lin Feng, this is between you and me, it’s just about money, tell your lackeys to back off, don’t beat up my schoolmates! Fuck, you two idiots, run!” Cao Nan’s two companions, seeing the dire situation, immediately took off running. Red Hair, wielding a machete, led the chase with the other thugs, while the two delinquent girls, each grabbing a brick, also chased after them with provocative shouts. Cao Nan shouted from behind, “Lin Feng, you are committing extortion! This is illegal! Tell them to stop! I’ve already agreed to give you the money, I’m pulling it out now, tell your lackeys to stop!” Lin Feng stood there with a gleeful expression, seemingly enjoying Cao Nan’s panic. As Red Hair and his crew chased further away, occasionally a sharp scream could be heard in the distance, but Lin Feng remained unmoved, ignoring Cao Nan’s cries… Please support with votes!!! 042 Isn’t it refreshing? A new week has begun, please support with votes, at least let us make it onto the new book list, I beg of you, dear readers! In the blink of an eye, only Lin Feng and Cao Nan were left at the scene. Cao Nan seemed to be scared out of his wits, fearfully shouting, “Lin Feng, don’t push me too far! You’ve already bullied me enough at school today, what more do you want? Isn’t it just money? I’ll give you the money, just tell your lackeys to stop, those two classmates are innocent, they have nothing to do with this!” Lin Feng laughed, “Alright! Hand it over!” At these words, Cao Nan’s eyes lit up, and he quickly opened his backpack, indeed pulling out a wad of hundred-yuan notes. “Lin… Lin Boss, after giving you the money, you must let us go, after all, we are classmates. If it’s not enough… if it’s not enough, I’ll find a way to get more for you…” Cao Nan held the money carefully, looking anxious and almost ready to kneel at Lin Feng’s feet. From his expression, it seemed like he was terrified that Lin Feng wouldn’t accept the money. “Thanks!” Lin Feng calmly took the money and even meticulously counted it. But after taking the money, Cao Nan changed his pitiful demeanor, clapping his hands and saying with a sinister smile, “Hey, kid, does counting money feel good?” Lin Feng chuckled, “Feels good, of course it feels good! The turtle son finally knows to respect the old man, of course, I’m happy!” Cao Nan laughed wickedly, “Feels good? Hehe… I’m afraid you won’t be laughing soon, kid!” “Oh? Why won’t I be able to laugh?” Lin Feng, clutching a handful of money, his eyes narrowed into slits, boasted, “Tonight, I first had some romantic luck, with two pretty girls throwing themselves at me, then four lackeys willingly joined my gang, being the boss feels great, doesn’t it? Hehe… Of course, what makes me happiest is that you, the turtle son, were willing to offer money to respect me, tell me, why wouldn’t I be happy… Cao Bujin?” “Damn it! Let you be smug for a few more minutes!” “Hehehe… More than a few minutes, I’ll be laughing in my sleep tonight, Cao Bujin, hehehe…” “Damn it! Lin Feng, are you really that stupid or just pretending? Seems like if I don’t make it clear to you, you’ll end up in jail eating prison food without knowing why!” “Ah!” Lin Feng said in surprise, “Cao Bujin… uh… Boss Cao, what, what, what are you talking about? What’s this about eating prison food and going to jail? I haven’t done anything wrong! You can’t just say things like that.” “Kid, don’t you even look in the mirror, who do you think you are? You think you’re some kind of ladies’ man?” “Ladies’ man?” Cao Nan laughed while shaking his head, seemingly not satisfied, then suddenly shouted, “Hey… Chi Ying, guys, the game is over, come back quickly, let this hero brother enjoy being surrounded one last time!” No sooner had Cao Nan spoken than the four hoodlums who had acknowledged Lin Feng as their boss, the two girls, and the two lackeys who had run away earlier, along with the three punks whose noses Lin Feng had broken, all came back together from not far away. “Boss, how was our performance?” “Boss, you owe us for tonight’s friendly appearance!” “Damn, Chi Ying, you really laid it on thick with me!” “Hehe… Boss, it’s a stratagem of suffering, if we didn’t go hard, this kid wouldn’t fall for it. Boss, you don’t know, this kid is still dreaming of getting with our sisters Twelve and Thirteen, playing double fly, doing… love doing things…” Everyone burst into laughter. Lin Feng looked at them dumbstruck, seemingly unable to grasp what had just happened. After a long pause, he finally realized, “Oh… so you all know each other!” His words caused another round of laughter. “Boss, we went through all this trouble for our performance, and this kid doesn’t even give us a round of applause, he actually pocketed the money, is he sick in the head?” “You’re the sick one, I won money from playing ball, why can’t I take it?” Damn… The gang of hoodlums was so exasperated by Lin Feng’s idiocy that they all fainted, collectively giving him the middle finger. “Hey, you guys, aren’t you coming over to split the money?” Lin Feng patted his pocket, secretly signaling to his newly recognized lackeys, and said mysteriously, “Come over here, the boss has a lot of money now, come on, little sister, you get two hundred fifty, and Red Hair, you get two hundred fifty…” “Pfft,” Chi Ying and the girls looked at him with disdain. “Lin Feng, stop playing dumb, I’ll spell it out for you, tonight I set you up, the whole process of you extorting money from me was recorded, you better get ready to go to jail and play the tough guy!” “What, what, Boss Cao, what did you say?” “Damn it!” “Recorded? I extorted you? Boss Cao, you can do something so despicable, I don’t believe it, you said we’re classmates! You must be joking, right? I, I, I’ll give the money back to you right now, isn’t that enough…” “It’s too late to play dumb now!” Chi Ying’s large machete gently patted Lin Feng’s face. “Boss Cao, it was just a game of ball, you’re joking, right? You’re not serious, are you? We don’t have any deep grudges, why would you set me up? Boss Cao, you said we’re classmates, right? Do you really have to go that far?” “Damn it! Stop talking nonsense, who do you think you are? If it wasn’t for you harassing Wang Xiaoyun, I wouldn’t bother with a loser like you!” “Boss Cao, that’s a bit out of line, we played ball, win or lose, it was consensual, if you didn’t want to pay up, that’s fine, but what does it have to do with Wang Xiaoyun?” “Your mother, Wang Xiaoyun is my girl, everyone in Yushan High School knows that, you pretend not to know, you send her harassing texts, act dumb, play dead, and even grope her in front of me on the basketball court, you don’t even respect me!”
