C17 Raised Her Eyebrows

After successfully beating up Liu Yao and the others, the system's voice began to sound: "Congratulations to the host for protecting your parents and defeating Liu Yao. You have received 20 Lucky Value points."

Although Liu Yao and the others were dissatisfied and wanted to take revenge, they did not dare to show it at all at this moment. All of them dragged their bruised bodies and left this place dejectedly.

Seeing that his son had beaten up the hoodlums in society, Wu Jiangang was not happy at all. He frowned and said, "Son, how can we afford to offend such people? If you beat them up this time, they will definitely come and take revenge on us."

Wu Chen was not too worried about this. At most, he would just beat them up again and comfort them: "It's fine, these little bastards are just bullies who bully the weak and fear the strong. Let's not worry about them. If they dare to come again, I'll deal with them again."

As he spoke, he took out the few thousand yuan that he had taken out from Liu Yao's pocket and placed it in Wu Jiangang's hand. "These are protection fees collected by those people. It's a waste of money for our family. Dad, you should keep it well. This is equivalent to our family's monthly income."

Hearing that it was protection money, Wu Jiangang felt hot to the touch. Seeing that his neighbors were still watching from the side, he took the money and went up to shout, "Who just gave me protection money? Come to me and take it. Take as much as you give. Don't take too much or too little."

When they heard that they could get their money back, they all rushed to say, "I gave five hundred, I gave eight hundred..."

Not long after, the thick stack of money was emptied, and the neighbors praised Wu Jiangang's actions.

Wu Chen felt his heart ache when he saw this and sighed helplessly. This was a few thousand yuan. Dad, why didn't you just give it away like money? Previously, none of these so-called neighbors dared to stand up and say a word. When there were benefits, they ran away rather quickly. Each and every one of them really did not want the lotus.

Wu Jiangang saw through his son's thoughts with a single glance. He pulled him into the house and said earnestly, "Son, we are all neighbors. There is no need to be so stubborn about some things. We are all ordinary people, and we can't afford to offend the hoodlums in society. It is reasonable that we did not speak up before. There is no need for us to look down on the weakness of a weak person. They wouldn't be living here otherwise."

Wu Chen did not think that his father's thoughts were right. Since he was a weakling, he had to bear the consequences of being bullied by others. If he wanted others to stand up for him and he sat back and enjoyed the fruits of his labor, he deserved to be bullied.

Thinking of this, Wu Chen did not directly refute his father's reasoning.

His mother, Zhang Xiu, was a little curious at this moment. "Son, when did you become so good at fighting? You can fight more than ten people by yourself. Did you secretly learn martial arts behind our backs?"

Only after Zhang Xiu asked did Wu Chen think of this problem. His mind spun, and he immediately thought of a way. He followed Zhang Xiu's words and said, "That's about it, but the person who taught me doesn't let me say it out loud. Otherwise, he won't teach me in the future. Mom and Dad, you have to keep this a secret. It's best to pretend that you don't know anything."

It wasn't that Wu Chen really didn't want to tell his parents the truth, but that his own experience was simply too incredible. He couldn't possibly tell his parents that there was a system in his mind, right?

If that was really the case, his mother would probably faint from fear, and his father would directly let Wu Chen go to the hospital to see a doctor.

The answer in front of him was the closest to the current situation.

Zhang Xiu and Wu Jiangang saw that their son was so powerful, so there must be someone guiding him. They did not doubt Wu Chen's words at all, and believed him the moment he said it. The two of them were extremely happy to have such a teacher.

Zhang Xiu said nervously, "Son, don't worry. We won't say anything."

At this moment, Wang Lin, the neighbor who ran to the pedestrian street to inform Wu Jiangang, walked into the house. When he saw that the whole family was there, he laughed and said, "Wu, all the people in the neighborhood are very grateful to you and Wu for what happened today, so they asked me to take the lead and invite you and your family out for a meal."

Wu Jiangang quickly said: "It's just a small matter. We are all neighbors, so it's only right. I don't think there's a need to eat."

Wang Lin said, "Old Wu, this is everyone's little gift. It's just a meal. It would be bad if you didn't go. We've been neighbors for so many years, but we've never met."

While Wu Jiangang was still hesitating, Wu Chen directly said: "Alright, Uncle Wang, we will be out soon. We won't let everyone wait for too long." Then he turned to Wu Jiangang and said, "Dad, why are you still dawdling over a meal? Your son worked so hard to beat away the bullies and helped the neighbors get back their protection fees. It's just a meal, what's there to hesitate about?"

Zhang Xiu sighed. "Your father is too honest. He would rather suffer a little than take advantage of others. If your father had been as decisive as you are now when he was young, our family might have been in a different situation."

In the end, under the persuasion of the mother and son, Wu Jiangang still went out.

During the meal, the neighborhood leaders frequently came over to toast, praising Wu Chen from time to time for his youth and achievements. This made Wu Jiangang, who had been useless for most of his life, feel proud and elated. His alcohol tolerance was not high, so he drank several rounds.

When he returned, it was Wu Chen who carried his father on his shoulder and carried him back.

Along the way, he could only hear Wu Jiangang's drunken words, "Son, you are the hope of our family. You must be successful."

By the time he got home, it was already around ten o'clock at night. Wu Chen took a comfortable bath and was about to lie down to sleep when he felt as if his butt had been pricked by needles. He sat up straight and looked at his bag with a resentful expression.

In the afternoon, the class monitor, Lin Jiajia, had not even finished the test paper yet.

"Damn it, Lin Jiajia, don't let me catch you. Otherwise, I will definitely rip your butt off." Wu Chen cursed Lin Jiajia in his heart for thousands of years before picking up a pen and starting to work on the questions like crazy.

Fortunately, Wu Chen had taken the IQ pill before. Not only did his IQ increase significantly, but he was also very fast when it came to solving questions. In the past, he could not understand math questions at all, but now, with just a glance, he already knew the answer to the questions.

Although he was able to solve the questions very quickly, Wu Chen was still able to finish five or six questions at midnight.

After letting out a long sigh of relief, he spread out his hands and fell asleep on the bed.

The next day, as soon as he opened his eyes, Wu Chen had a bad premonition. He looked at the time and saw that it was 8: 20!

Damn, I overslept again. Damn it, I'm almost a late prince.

Wu Chen grabbed the exam paper and stuffed it into his bag. He did not even care about breakfast and rushed straight to school.
