【全职二校】超品兵王在都市

Wang Fan felt sad and dejected as he walked out of the Human Resources office. He found it so difficult to accept the result. From where he came from, he was feared by all the gangs. They even called him "Mighty Soldier King". Here in the city, he couldn’t even find a decent job because he lacked a college degree. Suddenly, his phone rang. Wang Fan picked it up immediately when he saw the caller ID.

"Wang Fan," said the voice from the other line. It was his girlfriend. "It’s over. I’m breaking up with you. You’ve been gone for so long. I need a boyfriend, not a phone pal."

"Darling, please—" Wang Fan started, "I know I’ve been gone, but I’m back now. I’ll always be with you now."

"Oh yeah? Well, what can you give me? A dishwasher working abroad earns so much money than you. What exactly can you give me, huh?" She challenged. "Do you even have savings after working all these years? Have you found a single stable job since you got back? Will you be able to give me the things I want?"

"I can, I promise! I’ll buy you the biggest house you want! And ...” Wang Fan said seriously.

"And what?" the girl interrupted. "How are things going to get better, Wang Fan? Will you ever get to buy me a BMW car? Will you ever get to buy me a Louis Vuitton handbag? Ferragamo's shoes? Gifts from Chanel? Ha! You can’t even afford to buy me a hundred square meter house, for Christ’s sake. Wang Fan. I’m tired. I can’t deal with this anymore. Goodbye, Wang Fan," she said as she hung up.

Wang Fan held his handphone tightly, dumbfounded.

"AHHHH! Help! Somebody, help! Thief, thief! That thief stole my bag!"

Wang Fan heard someone scream from the other end of the street. A lady in uniform was screaming in panic and desperation, running as fast as her high-heeled shoes would take her.

A man with dark sunglasses holding a Louis Vuitton handbag was fleeing from the scene towards a motorcycle.

"Go away! Right now!" He said to the onlookers as he jumped onto his vehicle. As soon as he did, he turned the handles and accelerated.

In shock, every person on the sidewalk squeezed themselves up to the wall as the motorcycle zoomed past them. Nobody dared block its way or say anything to help the lady.

It’s risky to be involved in robberies nowadays. Nobody wants to get hurt.

The lady in a suit watched the motorcycle drive away, helplessly.

As the motorcycle approached, Wang Fan pulled his left leg back, and with all his might, flung it into the raging vehicle in a strong forceful kick as soon as it passed in front of him.

The kick took the man by surprise. He couldn’t believe what happened! His motorcycle tumbled sharply and it went spinning on the pavement. The impact threw him to the further end of the road and forced him to drop the stolen bag to the ground.

"Ahhhhh!" The pedestrians held their hands to their mouths as they screamed.

Wang Fan, indifferent to the commotion, walked to the side of the man, calmly picked up the bag, and handed it to the lady. "Here’s your bag, ma’am."

"Th-thank you." The lady managed to say when she realized that he was talking to her. She was still in stunned from the events that just happened.

Wang Fan inspected the lady for half a second before diverting his gaze.

"Not at all, it’s my pleasure." Wang Fan turned to leave.

"Wait a second!" Wang Fan felt a hand grasp his arm from behind. "I’m Dai Yuying. What’s your name? I… just want to thank you for your help," she continued. "Can we have lunch together?” She looked at him as she awaited his response.

Wang Fan was at his mid-20’s, standing 180 cm tall. His face has well-defined angles on his forehead, cheeks, and jawline. He was not the type you would notice in a crowd, but he was not bad-looking either.

"You’re welcome, really. It’s no trouble at all. You don’t need to take me out for dinner. Thanks for the offer, though. I have to go." Dai Yuying pulled his hand away gently as he refused her invitation.

Dai Yuying stood perplexed at his immediate refusal.

For most people, Dai Yuying was a sight to behold. She had light skin and brown hair that emphasized her bright almond eyes. She had men falling at her feet and any of them would have accepted her lunch invite in a heartbeat. But Wang Fan just refused her without hesitation. ‘Have I lost my charm?’ she thought sadly. ‘He didn’t even tell me his name,’ she realized.

Wang Fan was about to walk away when he heard a voice from behind him.

"Stop!" It was the man from the motorcycle! He pushed himself up and turned to Wang Fan, holding a sharp, silver blade.

He didn’t have serious injuries despite his fall. Like a rabid beast, he shot Wang Fan a deadly stare.

‘This should have been an easy robbery if he didn’t get in the way,’ the man thought. ‘It's time to give him a lesson.’

"Are you talking to me?" Wang Fan turned to the man, unafraid. Wang Fan hesitated because the man was badly injured. He stood in disbelief at the challenge thrown at him.

"STOP!" Dai Yuying cried. "STOP OR I’LL CALL THE POLICE!" Dai Yuying rushed in front of Wang Fan, holding up her phone.

"Call the police?" The motorcycle driver asked manically. "Fuck the police! You’ll both be dead by the time they get here!" The man started running towards Dai Yuying. The sun shining brightly against his knife. The people in the street stood frozen in the background.

Dai Yuying turned pale. She trembled. She didn’t know what to do! Growing up comfortably in the city, she thought these things could only happen in the movies!

Wang Fan gasped. ‘What the hell? This man must be crazy if he could stab someone in broad daylight! It seems he hasn’t learned his lesson!’

Before Wang Fan could do anything to stop him, the man’s knife dug into Dai Yuying’s stomach as he stabbed her fiercely, without mercy.

On reflex, Wang Fan managed to grab the attacker’s weapon hand and slap him with his free hand.

The man failed to dodge, getting his face bloody and teeth knocked out.

In his rage, Wang Fan charged and started to throw the man punch after punch until his face was red and swollen all over.

"You’re lucky this time. The next time you cause trouble again, I swear I’ll kill you. Go!" Wang Fan said, dismissing the young man.

Wang Fan felt good about the skirmish. It was a much-needed release of all the tension he felt for the day. As he was about to leave, he saw Dai Yuying falling down from behind him.

Wang Fan quickly turned to keep her from falling. "Are you OK?" Wang Fan asked as he held her. He felt his heart beat faster when he felt her skin against his. Her beauty was tempting.

"My foot is sprained." Dai Yuying replied, feeling embarrassed. Her face turned hot as he felt his touch.
