“So this is what the daughter of a wealthy family looks like? I'm scared, I'm scared…”
Jiang Heng and Lucy fled in a panic, wiping the sweat off their brows after they could no longer see the girl.
Although they already knew that the worldview here was incredibly twisted, Jiang Heng never expected that even a high school student could be so extravagant.
……
With no other choice, the two had to change their target again.
Just then, a commotion reached their ears.
Following the sound, they saw several students surrounding a boy in a corner, and they were getting physical.
“Oh wow~ School bullying? Looks like it's time to serve justice!”
Seeing this scene, Jiang Heng instantly became interested, especially since the boy being surrounded looked very familiar.
“Let’s go, Lucy, let’s check it out and do a good deed while we’re at it.”
With that, Jiang Heng strode forward, and Lucy naturally followed right behind him.
“Hey~ What are you guys doing here instead of studying?”
Arriving behind the group, Jiang Heng shouted, his tone resembling that of a disciplinary teacher catching students misbehaving.
Surprisingly, his shout startled the boys, causing the one with blue hair to shiver and turn around, only to find Jiang Heng in the same uniform as them, which made him furious.
“Who the hell are you?”
The blue-haired boy glared at Jiang Heng with a hostile expression, and if it weren't for the fact that most students in this school were either rich or noble, he would have already taught this guy a lesson.
Jiang Heng, of course, didn’t answer. Instead, he took a step toward the blue-haired boy, closing the distance to less than half a meter, and stared him down.
With Jiang Heng's tall stature, standing at a solid 1.85 meters, the blue-haired boy, who was barely over 1.70 meters, felt a bit intimidated in front of the imposing figure.
“W-What do you want?”
“What’s your name, and which class are you in?” Jiang Heng didn’t answer but instead asked.
“Why should I…”
Before he could finish, Jiang Heng interrupted him, raising his voice a few notches: “Answer my question!”
“I’m Tian Zhong Sheng Nan, from Class 2-3!”
“Tian Zhong Sheng Nan, so you’re the one called Tian Zhong Sheng Nan!”
Jiang Heng was no stranger to that name; this guy was the minor character in the animation who often bullied David. Although he had little screen time, his father was an important character.
Knowing that this guy was Tian Zhong Sheng Nan, Jiang Heng was even more certain that the boy being bullied was David.
He didn’t have a cybernetic eye, so he couldn’t scan to identify people, and even if he did, it wouldn’t be that simple to identify someone just by scanning.
In the game, V could do that because the cybernetic doctor had installed a backdoor—NCPD file scanning—when he fitted V with the cybernetic eye. This file contained identity lists that only the NCPD had access to, and the identities of Night City residents were basically all recorded.
Because of this, V could easily recognize who someone was, whether they had committed any crimes, and how much bounty they had on their heads.
In reality, it was not easy for an average person to obtain this NCPD file scanning; it was like asking the police for the identity information of all citizens in the city—who would just hand that over?
Of course, in Night City, the management was much more lax, and many mercenaries had installed NCPD file scanning, but most of these files were about wanted criminals. The NCPD was too lazy to catch them, so they issued bounties, allowing mercenaries to earn some cash if they encountered these criminals.
……
Knowing that the blue-haired boy was Tian Zhong Sheng Nan, Jiang Heng planned to teach this guy a lesson for David, as he had always found him quite irritating in the animation.
Smack!
A crisp sound rang out, leaving everyone present stunned.
No one expected Jiang Heng to suddenly take action and slap Tian Zhong Sheng Nan so hard that he flew away.
For a moment, the scene fell silent, and everyone’s brains seemed to freeze, unable to process what had just happened.
Finally, it was Tian Zhong Sheng Nan, who was lying on the ground with one side of his face already swollen and red, who snapped back to reality first.
He half-lay on the ground, tilting his head and covering half of his face with his hand, looking somewhat pitiful, like a bullied little wife.
However, he shouted at Jiang Heng, “You bastard, how dare you hit me? Do you know who I am? My dad is a high-ranking member of the school board! Just wait, I’ll make sure my dad expels you!”
“I’m hitting you, you piece of trash who loves to bully others in school!”
With that, Jiang Heng stepped forward, ready to stomp on Tian Zhong Sheng Nan a few more times.
However, to his surprise, this guy was quite agile, dodging out of the way and quickly getting back on his feet, striking a fighting pose in front of Jiang Heng.
“Bastard, don’t get cocky just because you managed to sneak attack me! You’re just a loser without any cybernetics, while I’ve got the latest Kuaibi 400 real kung fu chip installed!”
“Oh oh oh oh oh~”
After getting up, Tian Zhong Sheng Nan began throwing punches at Jiang Heng, shouting continuously, looking like a monkey revealing its true form.
Seeing this, Jiang Heng couldn’t help but roll his eyes. This guy’s kung fu chip might be decent against ordinary people, but to him, it was practically useless.
Smack!
Another crisp sound echoed, and this time, Tian Zhong Sheng Nan fell to the ground again, his entire being in a daze, but at least his cheeks were now symmetrical.
