Originally, I wanted to be a low-key person, but they forced me to shine.
Second Middle completely lost the first event, but Su Qiang and the others were still unconvinced.
"It's fine, most people who are good at sprinting aren't that good at long-distance running."
"Yeah, don't worry, he won't be able to handle it."
Compared to sprinting, long-distance running was more of a test of endurance. Principal Wang also comforted himself and urged the referee.
At this moment, a short athlete came over, "Zhuang Feng, a normal long-distance run is 1000 meters, let's play harder and directly do 3000 meters, do you dare?"
"3000 meters, it can't be?" I frowned, this casual question caused the guys from Second Middle to explode.
"Ah ha, look, this brat has no confidence!"
"I told you, he's good at sprinting, but he might not be good at long-distance running."
"If you don't have the guts, then give up and go back to drinking milk."
The guys from Second Middle were humiliated just now, so they wanted to take back their pride. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so I shook my head and said, "No, no, I'm just afraid you guys can't handle it."
They were stunned, then raised their heads and laughed, "You'll know after we compete."
Soon, we returned to the track. Since there was a live broadcast, the referee also received all sorts of calls. The way he looked at me changed, and he didn't dare to cheat this time.
After the race started, a group of people rushed out, but I was very different, and walked slowly, as if I was taking a stroll in the park.
"Hey." The students from Third Middle were stunned, and couldn't help but urge me.
"Hey, boss, start running."
"Yeah, what's the difference between this and giving up."
"Sigh, it seems like Brother Feng is weak in long-distance running."
"You guys are wrong, as long as Brother Feng wants to, he can beat them. It's just that he loves to study, and fighting for a week's vacation goes against his original intentions, understand?"
All sorts of voices rose and fell, but I pretended I didn't hear it, and played with my phone. Since it was a 3km run, it would take at least eight or nine minutes to finish, the previous record was too exaggerated, I couldn't take the lead again.
At this moment, I received a WeChat message from Liu Jie. Yesterday, she had told Liu Zhanpeng that if he encountered any trouble that he couldn't solve, he could come and find me. However, Liu Zhanpeng was a stubborn man. He had a falling out with me. Even though he was in dire straits, he still refused to admit his mistake.
With my current connections, it wasn't hard to help Liu Zhanpeng. Even if I couldn't think of a good way, I could ask Boss Qian for help. In the business world, he was definitely one of the best. Zhanpeng Corporation's market value was only a few tens of millions. Compared to Boss Qian, it was simply a drop in the bucket.
If it really didn't work, then he would let the Liu Family go bankrupt. At that time, Liu Zhanpeng would also understand how muddle-headed he was, insisting on wrongly blaming a good person.
However, there was good news. Since Liu Zhanpeng was under pressure recently, he didn't have time to care about Liu Jie's transfer. Under Liu Jie's repeated pleas, Liu Zhanpeng finally agreed. She didn't have to transfer schools, but at the very least, she had to transfer classes. In any case, she couldn't be with me.
I was a bit depressed. Now that things had come to this, Liu Zhanpeng wouldn't think that I was still thinking about his family property, right? Even if Liu Zhanpeng was rich, he still lived in a villa that was worth millions. There was still a certain gap between it and my sister-in-law's villa.
Of course, I didn't instigate Liu Jie. Being able to return to Third High was already good enough. At least I could find a way to see her. To be honest, for young men and women, maintaining a certain distance. Not being able to see each other for a long time was really a kind of torture. Thinking of that cute and silly girl, my heart was filled with tenderness. Liu Jie still really liked me. At that time, before the life and death battle, she even sacrificed herself for love. This kind of courage surpassed a lot of girls. Moreover, I quite admired her personality of daring to love and hate.
After casually sending a few happy emojis, I put away my phone. At this time, the people from Second High were almost a lap ahead of me. The leader was the short guy who suggested running three thousand meters. It wasn't hard to see that he was quite accomplished in long-distance running.
"Noob, long-distance running is really your weakness."
"Hehe, one look and I can tell that you're short and fast. You can't be strong." The athletes from Second High gave me the middle finger and said in disdain.
I looked and found that it was about the same. If I continued to be so leisurely, I might not be able to catch up. I began to madly speed up. Although I was lagging behind a lot, I still had a card up my sleeve.
Soon, the athletes from Second High noticed my actions and burst into laughter.
"This idiot, even if he catches up now, it's useless."
"Yeah, he's already one lap behind. If he can catch up, I'll use my mouth to clean every toilet in Third High."
"Motherfucker, this brat is looking down on us too much."
The students from Third High couldn't help but feel disappointed. A wave of discussion arose.
"Sigh, it's all because of underestimating the enemy."
"Boss was a bit too pretentious. It's not strange that he lost."
"Look, he's flying!"
To be honest, ever since I took the Marrow Cleansing Pill, I hadn't had the chance to show off my body's potential. I didn't expect the guys from Second High to be so ungrateful and come to cause trouble. I didn't mind grinding their spirit. At this moment, the blood in my body was flowing, and my legs were like an engine.
The athletes from Second High panicked and hurriedly sped up, but it was too late. Three minutes later, I successfully overtook them. When I reached the finish line, they were still a few hundred meters away. The three kilometers required a lot of endurance. Seeing that I had won, they all lost the confidence to continue. Fortunately, I had estimated the time. It was about eight and a half minutes, which wasn't too scary. Of course, if I didn't take into account the fact that I was playing with my phone … it was still shocking.
Principal Wang's face turned pale, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes. They had discussed before that there would be a total of five events, which meant that Third High had already gotten the match point. The third event was the relay race, which was to pass the baton. Without a doubt, this was their only chance. After the long jump and shot put, there was no suspense at all. The baton still had to rely on their teammates. Of course, in the face of absolute strength, teammates were negligible.
After a while, Director Fang personally handed me the baton and gave it to me. It seemed like this old man also hoped that Third High could get the first place. That way, his job would be more secure.
However, I felt that the baton was a little heavy, and something was wrong with it. I couldn't tell what was wrong with it.
After a while, the referee fired the gun again. I ran a few steps, and suddenly, my heart started to race. I had a bad feeling about this. Inside the baton, an inaudible sound entered my ears.
