"What's going on? What exactly happened?"
"Holy crap, a car just pulled up, and it's a Maybach! That thing must be worth at least ten million, right?!"
"A big shot is here!"
Watching the approaching car and the reaction of the men in black, Xu Qiang and his group almost forgot they were supposed to be memorizing the rules.
The Maybach slowly came to a halt at the school gate.
All the men in black lined up neatly to welcome the arrival, and even the girl in black from earlier stood respectfully by the car door.
The car door was slowly opened by one of the men in black.
To the surprise of Xu Qiang and his friends, the person who stepped out was not the kind of underworld boss they had imagined, nor was it some elderly tycoon. Instead, it was an incredibly young girl dressed in black, who looked to be about the same age as them.
Furthermore, this girl also had a dragon-shaped emblem on her chest, but hers was an accessory made of crystal, fully highlighting her difference from the rest of the people in black.
Before Xu Qiang and his group could even guess who this girl was, the multiple rows of people in black immediately bowed and respectfully greeted her in unison.
"Eldest Miss!"
With over a hundred people greeting her, the momentum was incredibly massive. The scene was absolutely comparable to the classic entrances of mafia bosses in movies, delivering an extreme visual impact.
Xu Qiang and the others were completely dumbfounded.
"Wait, isn't... isn't that the campus belle of the University of Finance and Economics?"
"Isn't she the top student from the bulletin board? How did she become a mafia princess?"
"What the hell, who could have ever seen this coming!"
That student who had won countless honors on the bulletin board, the campus belle of the University of Finance and Economics, was now surrounded by a group of men in black, looking like a mafia queen.
The beautiful campus belle was actually a gang's Eldest Miss?
Isn't this contrast way too huge?
Then, they couldn't help but look at themselves kneeling under the tree, memorizing rules. Suddenly, they felt that sometimes the gap between humans is truly larger than the gap between a human and a dog.
Look at her, that was what it truly meant to run the streets. At best, they were just clowns!
Meanwhile.
The crowd gathered at the school gate instantly boiled over with excitement upon seeing Liu Yutong.
Let alone the freshmen, even the seniors hadn't seen Liu Yutong around campus for at least half a year. However, even if she wasn't at school, she still received every single honor she was due.
Now that they saw her in person, some students from the University of Finance and Economics grew excited.
"My God, it really is Liu Yutong who came back!"
"Wow! Isn't this grand entrance a bit too exaggerated?!"
"It really is her. She looks even better than in her photos!"
"She's so incredibly cool!"
At this moment, many girls truly understood what it meant for a woman to be just as formidable as a man. Looking at Liu Yutong's aura and entourage, she was simply cool beyond words.
Some of the bolder freshmen couldn't even resist asking for her autograph.
"Senior, look over here!"
"Senior, can I get an autograph?"
"..........."
After stepping out of the car, Liu Yutong quickly noticed Xu Qiang and his group kneeling in a row, opening their mouths to catch dropping cola. She raised her eyebrows slightly.
"What is going on here?"
Yu Xin immediately stepped forward and said, "Sister Yutong, it's a bunch of freshmen from the vocational college. They call themselves the Dragon Gate and want to establish their turf in the university town."
"Dragon Gate?"
"Do they want to leap over the dragon gate?"
Liu Yutong looked again at Xu Qiang and the others kneeling on the ground, and said indifferently, "Since they love playing gangsters so much, take good care of them. Don't we have people at the vocational college?"
"We do. I will arrange it."
"Mhm."
Liu Yutong then turned to Yang Xin and the rest. "Let's all have a meal together tomorrow. Dismissed."
"Yes, Eldest Miss!" the crowd replied in unison.
Just as Liu Yutong was about to turn around and leave, a loud and boisterous voice suddenly rang out behind her.
"Wow! Sister Yutong, you're finally back!"
A girl wearing a hoodie and covered in all sorts of weird and quirky little accessories practically lunged at Liu Yutong the moment she got out of the car, giving her a huge bear hug.
"Sister Yutong, I missed you to death!"
Looking at the jingling items on her body, Liu Yutong asked, "Xiaohui, why do you have so many accessories hanging off you?"
"These are custom-made figures! Since our Purple Dragon Club was just established, I thought about making a mascot. I ended up making quite a few. Sister Yutong, you're just in time to help me see which one is the best!" Li Xiaohui said excitedly.
Liu Yutong always found making this kind of choice to be a major headache, so she said, "Just pick whichever one you like."
"Alright then."
It was only then that Li Xiaohui noticed Xu Qiang and the others kneeling in a row not far away, along with the cola suspended above their heads. It was as if she had discovered a whole new world.
"Wow! Is this some new kind of performance art? A modern version of extreme study torture?"
When Yu Xin explained the reason to her, Li Xiaohui's eyes immediately lit up.
"I'm good at this! Let me proctor the exam, let me proctor!"
Then, she excitedly walked over to Xu Qiang and his group. As soon as she opened her mouth, she scared them half to death.
"Everyone must copy the school rules one hundred times. You can crawl back only when you are finished."
Xu Qiang and the others: "!!!"
Why don't you just beat us to death instead!
Naturally, Liu Yutong wasn't going to waste her time on a bunch of freshmen. After saying her greetings, she entered the school. She even smiled and greeted her fellow schoolmates, not acting aloof or unapproachable at all.
Actually, after being around her for so long, many people at the University of Finance and Economics knew Liu Yutong's personality. She didn't put on any airs when she was normally at school and was quite easy to get along with.
If this had been last year when she first became famous, they probably wouldn't have even dared to speak to Liu Yutong.
"Senior Liu is way too cool! She's totally my idol!"
"This is what a true big shot looks like! Excellent grades, beautiful looks, and such a commanding presence! It's seriously too cool!"
"Those punks actually wanted to establish their turf in front of Classmate Liu? What a joke!"
"They've definitely learned their lesson this time!"
"........"
After enduring several hours of torment, Xu Qiang and his group were finally freed from their misery and allowed to leave.
It was just that when they left, most of them had jelly legs.
It wasn't entirely because their legs were numb from kneeling; it was more because they were terrified.
Earlier, many of them had failed the exam and were invited into a small black van for private tutoring.
But they all knew very well, could that really be called tutoring?
Sure enough, without exception, every person who came out after going in for tutoring had a terrible complexion and unfocused eyes. They looked weak and feeble, as if their bodies had been completely hollowed out.
Furthermore, they all gritted their teeth and absolutely refused to say what kind of cruel torture they had experienced inside.
Of course, their refusal to speak only scared the living daylights out of those who hadn't entered the small black van. Every single one of them mustered up a hundred and twenty percent of their focus to memorize the rules, just so they could suffer a little less.
It wasn't until the sky had turned completely dark that they were finally allowed to leave.
However, Xu Qiang and the others didn't feel much relief. Instead, every one of them was fraught with worry. Especially after this experience, they finally understood why there were no gangs in the university town.
With such a ruthless Ten Thousand Dragons Association existing here, who the hell would dare to form a gang!
Only later did they find out just how ruthless the Wanlong Gang's track record truly was. They had thrown people off buildings, offed others... But the scariest part was that the men in black they saw today were just a fraction of the Wanlong Gang's total numbers.
One could only imagine how terrifying the Wanlong Gang really was!
Also, they mentally cursed out all the upperclassmen who had deliberately kept this information from them.
It was completely out of line!
"Brother Qiang, what do you think those guys are planning? They registered all of our personal information just now. They even asked for our home addresses, blood types, and if we have any history of genetic diseases."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone froze. A bad feeling welled up in their hearts.
A moment later.
Someone finally voiced what they were all thinking.
"I... I heard, just rumors, mind you! I heard that some under... underground syndicates like to run highly lucrative businesses. A gang as massive as the Wanlong Gang definitely needs to make serious money to feed all its brothers. Think about it. Besides prostitution, gambling, and drugs, what other business brings in massive profits?"
The exact same thought popped into everyone's minds at once: Human organ trafficking.
"Hiss..."
"N-no way, right?"
"Why wouldn't it be? Otherwise, why would they bother registering all our information for no reason? I bet they are going to use our data to find medical matches, and the moment they find a buyer, they will..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood exactly what he meant.
Recalling the ruthless behavior of those men in black, along with the chilling aura of the eldest miss, Liu Yutong, the more they thought about it, the more plausible this theory seemed.
"Oh my god!"
A guy with dyed blond hair simply started wailing out loud.
"I'm dropping out! I want to go home!"
"I want to go home too! I'm not going to school anymore!"
"Help! I don't want my kidneys harvested! Mingzhu City is way too shady!"
