Chapter 402 — The Last of the Four Great Young Villains — "...The universe's top-tier, invincible, peerlessly beautiful young maiden, Big Sister Xiaoxiao..." Everyone broke out in a cold sweat, yet they still repeated it once.

"Little Sister Xiaoxiao is back." Zou Ruoming and Zhong Yongliang were hardly eager to come out and welcome Feng Xiaoxiao, but there was no help for it — they did not dare stay away! Though Feng Xiaoxiao had spent only a little over a month in the middle school division back then, her fearsome name had spread far and wide; even Zou Ruoming and Zhong Yongliang did not dare cross her. Otherwise, how could a girl have vaulted straight into the ranks of the school's Four Great Young Villains as the fourth?

The reason she ranked last among the Four Great Young Villains was not that Feng Xiaoxiao was weak — on the contrary, she was fiercer than either Zhong Yongliang or Zou Ruoming! Drinking and street racing in her first year of middle school, brawling with knives — the only reason this savage little girl ranked last was that she was the youngest!

Fortunately, Feng Xiaoxiao transferred away before long and became a legend of the school; otherwise Zou Ruoming and Zhong Yongliang would truly have been kept under her heel. To be kept under the heel of a girl — where was a man's face to go? How were they to bear the shame?

After no small effort, that little hellion Feng was gone, and they had only a few carefree years before Wei Zhao arrived and put everyone under his heel. Yet precisely because Wei Zhao existed, Zou Ruoming and Zhong Yongliang found that they no longer minded Feng Xiaoxiao's return in the least!

They were dying to see what would happen if Feng the little hellion and a true master came face to face. Would that vicious girl Feng simply castrate Wei Zhao with one stroke of her blade? Zou Ruoming and Zhong Yongliang could hardly wait.

"Why is it still you lot? Hasn't First High turned up a single formidable character in all these years?" Feng Xiaoxiao asked, testing the waters.

"Oh, there's one — a real ruthless one turned up. But he doesn't give a damn about us. I won't hide it from you, Little Sister Xiaoxiao: he took care of both me and Liangzi. These days First High is his domain; nobody dares lay a finger on him. Even his errand boy has risen to the heavens." To set Feng Xiaoxiao and Wei Zhao at each other's throats, Zou Ruoming did not scruple to belittle himself, painting Wei Zhao as something utterly formidable. "I told him to come out and welcome Little Sister Xiaoxiao, but the man is busy chasing skirts and has no time for the likes of us!"

Yu Dafa and the rest of the crowd were instantly filled with contempt for Zou Ruoming. The fellow had never gone to notify Wei Zhao at all; he was simply sowing discord. Yet no one dared step forward at that moment to speak for Wei Zhao. Stepping forward would certainly win Wei Zhao's favor, but it would also offend Zou Ruoming and Zhong Yongliang.

"Wei Zhao?" Feng Xiaoxiao frowned. She fished a small cell phone from her pocket, called up a photo, and held it out to Zou Ruoming. "Is this the man?"

"Huh? Little Sister Xiaoxiao, you know him?" Zou Ruoming stared at her phone and was instantly dumbstruck — the man in the photo was none other than Wei Zhao!

"So he really is here too!" Feng Xiaoxiao nodded in satisfaction. "Looks like I really did come to the right..."

Truly, one may wear out iron shoes searching for what one seeks, only to find it without any effort at all. Feng Xiaoxiao had earlier cast her net across all of Songshan City looking for Gu Mengyao and Wei Zhao, yet had stubbornly failed to find them. In the end, she happened to show a friend the photo on her phone, and that friend recognized Gu Mengyao at a glance — the daughter of the chairman of Pengzhan Group, currently enrolled at Songshan City First High School.

When Feng Xiaoxiao learned the answer, she was left speechless. She herself had transferred out of First High's middle school division, so she had never thought to look here — and yet in the end, this was exactly where she found them.

Still, it was hardly surprising that Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu had not attended First High for middle school. At the time, Gu Pengzhan had feared that Gu Mengyao, being young and unable to tell right from wrong, would develop a spoiled young lady's temperament in the family's own school, so he had sent her first to a public middle school; only for high school did she enroll at First High.

So Feng Xiaoxiao had never met Gu Mengyao, nor Shen Yushu, let alone Wei Zhao, who had transferred in only recently.

Hearing Feng Xiaoxiao's words, Zou Ruoming and Zhong Yongliang were like two oppressed refugees catching sight of the dawn. So Feng Xiaoxiao had come to settle accounts with Wei Zhao? That was wonderful — they themselves could do nothing about Wei Zhao, but Feng Xiaoxiao could!

"That's right, Little Sister Xiaoxiao — do you have a grudge against him?" Zhong Yongliang asked tentatively.

"A grudge?" Feng Xiaoxiao was slightly taken aback. Did she and Wei Zhao really have a grudge? That earlier clash hardly amounted to a feud. She had come looking for Wei Zhao simply because she wanted to race him! It was only that after Wei Zhao looked down on her, a trace of resentment had lodged in her heart. Still, she said, "I suppose you could say so..."

At that, Zou Ruoming and Zhong Yongliang's faces lit up with joy. With Feng Xiaoxiao to deal with Wei Zhao, all they had to do was sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

Feng Xiaoxiao locked up her car and swaggered into First High, while Zou Ruoming, Zhong Yongliang, and their entourage trailed attentively behind her.

"Tell me about Wei Zhao. Chasing girls, is he? Chasing which girl?" Feng Xiaoxiao asked Zou Ruoming and Zhong Yongliang as she walked.

Feng Xiaoxiao was somewhat puzzled. Wasn't Wei Zhao Gu Mengyao's bodyguard? How was he off chasing girls? Could he and Gu Mengyao be tangled up together?

"He's gotten very close to our school's commoner campus beauty, Tang Yun. Tang Yun didn't attend middle school here either; she only came for high school." Zhong Yongliang said. "She was Brother Ming's latest target too, but Wei Zhao beat him to it."

"Oh?" Feng Xiaoxiao was a little startled. She had not expected Wei Zhao to actually chase girls at school, and to go after Zou Ruoming's target at that. She could not help glancing at Zou Ruoming to see what he would say.

"Don't look at me like that... I can't beat him!" Zou Ruoming said through gritted teeth. Though it meant exposing his own weakness, he did not want to conceal it — the more he said, the more it highlighted Wei Zhao's standing as the school's overlord, and the more it would push Feng Xiaoxiao to deal with him.

"Does anyone else at school know about this?" Feng Xiaoxiao asked.

"There's probably no one who doesn't. He announced it right in front of the dean of academic affairs — that Tang Yun is his woman... Little Sister Xiaoxiao, this Wei Zhao is even more of a terror than you were back in the day!" Zhong Yongliang said. "Director Wang didn't dare utter a word!"

"Oh? What's his background?" Feng Xiaoxiao found it rather strange. Even if Gu Mengyao's father, Gu Pengzhan, was a shareholder of the school, a bodyguard had no business being so arrogant. And besides, if he was Gu Mengyao's bodyguard, how could Gu Mengyao let him chase after another girl — and let the whole school know about it? Could it be that the relationship between him and Gu Mengyao was a secret?

"I don't know what his background is. I heard before that he transferred here from some remote village, but now it looks like that's not..." Zhong Yongliang shook his head. If he still took Wei Zhao for a yokel of a migrant worker at this point, he would be a fool.

"I see. I understand." Feng Xiaoxiao nodded. It seemed the plan she had made earlier would have to be revised. She had meant to act a little flirtatious with Wei Zhao in front of Gu Mengyao to make a bit of trouble for him, but now that trick seemed useless.
