They were now on a small road. On the right was a T-junction, which connected to another small road but they were still some distance away from the junction.
The sound had come from the right.
After Jiang Yu finished speaking, Jiang Zeyu heard the sound of footsteps.
Their footsteps were very light as if they were deliberately trying to avoid being detected.
If it weren’t for the fact that they had stopped talking and everyone had been standing still, and that their surroundings were so quiet till they could hear the sound of the wind blowing, Jiang Zeyu might not have noticed them.
The footsteps gradually approached.
Suddenly, a group of men dashed out from the corner!
All of them held sticks in their hands and glared fiercely at Jiang Zeyu and the others.
They had wanted to ambush them and catch the trio off guard but they found the trio standing there and facing their direction. It was as if… they had been waiting for them to come out?
No, that was impossible.
They had deliberately slowed down their footsteps so that they would not be discovered. They must be pretending to be calm, but in fact, they were scared out of their wits?
The leader waved the stick in his hand and said proudly, “Jiang Zeyu, you didn’t expect to meet us, did you?”
Jiang Zeyu asked, “Who are you?”
The boy choked, “Last time, you beat us up, don’t you remember? Don’t think that we will let you go even if you play dumb now. I still remember the humiliation from that day!”
Jiang Zeyu shrugged. “I don’t remember. So many people have lost to me. What makes you so special?”
The boy said angrily, “My name is Zhang Cong!”
“Oh, Zhang Cong…” Jiang Zeyu dragged out the last syllable.
“Do you remember now?”
Jiang Zeyu shook his head. “No.”
Zhang Cong: “…”
The underling standing beside Zhang Cong said to him, “Forget it, boss. Let’s cut the crap. Let’s just grab our weapons and attack him!”
Zhang Cong patted him on the head. “As if you need to teach me that?”
He turned to Jiang Zeyu and said, “Jiang Zeyu, you’re really unlucky today. You bumped into us brothers. Don’t blame us for outnumbering you, we’ll beat you to the ground and take our revenge today!”
Jiang Zeyu said disdainfully, “That, I’m afraid, will be… difficult! I’m one of the best when it comes to fighting, even when outnumbered. Last time, you weren’t alone either, were you?”
Zhang Cong took a deep breath and said, “You clearly remember it, but you’re pretending not to!”
“It seems like I was right.” Jiang Zeyu clicked his tongue and said, “Doesn’t matter how many people you had last time, did you bring enough people this time?”
Zhang Cong snorted and said, “Yes!”
“Let me see.”Jiang Zeyu didn’t care and started counting. “One, two, three… there are only ten of you. Are you sure?”
“He’s not sure,” Jiang Yu suddenly said.
She glanced at the alley and asked, “You’ve been hiding there for a long time. Why aren’t you coming out?”
Jiang Yu sighed. “I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. What are you waiting for? You’re so slow.”
It took Zhang Cong a few seconds to register what Jiang Yu was saying.
Just now… They had waited for a long time?
Did she mean that she had noticed their presence a lot earlier?
They had moved very quietly though.
Even if she was bragging, it seemed like she could tell that there were other people hiding in the shadows. This was a little unbelievable.
Those people were not part of Zhang Cong’s group. It was just that someone who knew that this group had a grudge against Jiang Zeyu and said that he could deliver them to him.
