At five in the afternoon.
The bell for the end of classes rang precisely on time.
As soon as the instructor left, everyone prepared to leave the classroom.
Just then, Zhou Haochen suddenly shouted, "Fellow students, please wait a moment."
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Zhou Haochen curiously.
"Zhou Haochen, what is it?" a classmate asked in confusion.
"It is fate that we can all be classmates. Tonight, I have booked the banquet hall at Jufu Tower and invite all classmates to dine together," Zhou Haochen said with a smile.
"Really? Young Master Zhou is truly generous."
"Jufu Tower isn't cheap. Young Master Zhou has really gone to great expense."
"Then thank you for the grand meal, Young Master Zhou."
Jufu Tower was the most upscale restaurant nearby. Most of the classmates were ordinary people and could not afford to eat at Jufu Tower.
Now that they could enjoy a free meal at Jufu Tower, everyone was naturally delighted.
Qin Hanchu had a conflict with Zhou Haochen, so he naturally did not want to go.
Just as he was about to leave, Zhou Haochen said, "Classmate Qin, I have offended you before. I ask that you not blame me anymore. You and Classmate Lin Ying must attend tonight's meal."
Qin Hanchu was stunned. What scheme was Zhou Haochen playing?
Why had he suddenly lowered his stance?
Even Lin Ying looked at Zhou Haochen with surprise.
"Classmate Zhou knows how to correct his mistakes. Classmate Qin, you shouldn't be so petty."
"Yes, it's our class gathering today. No one can be absent."
Several classmates chimed in with smiles.
"Alright, since Classmate Zhou has apologized to me, we will attend." Qin Hanchu wanted to see what Zhou Haochen was up to.
"Then it's settled! See you at Jufu Tower in an hour," Zhou Haochen said.
Leaving the classroom, Lin Ying asked curiously, "Is Zhou Haochen setting up a Hongmen Banquet?"
Qin Hanchu shook his head. "I don't know."
"I just feel something is not right," Lin Ying said.
"It doesn't matter. If he wants to play games, I will accompany him."
In the face of absolute strength, all schemes and tricks are futile.
Qin Hanchu possessed the absolute strength to deal with any plot.
There was still an hour until six o'clock, so they could go home first.
They met up with Xinxin at the school gate, and the three of them returned home together.
Qin Hanchu and Lin Ying had to attend Zhou Haochen's dinner, so they couldn't eat at home.
Taking advantage of the remaining time, Qin Hanchu prepared dinner for Jin Hailu and the other person.
As Qin Hanchu and Lin Ying were about to leave, they bumped into Jin Hailu, who was returning from work.
"Are you going out?" Jin Hailu asked.
"It's a class reunion tonight. I've already prepared dinner for you," Qin Hanchu said.
"Mm, go ahead," Jin Hailu said calmly.
"Bye," Lin Ying said with a smile to Jin Hailu.
At six o'clock, the two arrived at the banquet hall on time.
They saw that most of the classmates had already arrived.
At the moment, they were chatting in groups of three to five.
"Hanchu, Lin Ying, come sit here quickly." The person speaking was Qi Zihua, the acting class monitor.
This person had a very outgoing personality and was very smooth in his words and actions.
He was indeed a good choice for class monitor.
In this class, Qin Hanchu only had a conflict with Zhou Haochen.
He was on friendly terms with the other classmates.
After sitting down, Qin Hanchu and Lin Ying also started chatting with their classmates.
"Qin Hanchu, what is your true cultivation realm? I heard you reached the eighth rank, is that true?"
"My realm is not the eighth rank." Qin Hanchu was not lying; he was indeed not the eighth rank.
"Even if it's not the eighth rank, it must be peak seventh rank."
When Qin Hanchu said he wasn't eighth rank, the classmates naturally assumed he was at the seventh rank.
"With your cultivation speed, you will definitely reach the eighth rank before long."
"From now on, the academy will definitely train you as a key student."
"We are classmates. When you succeed in the future, you must help us out."
In the military academy, martial arts realm was a very important assessment standard.
Based on the strength Qin Hanchu had displayed, he would definitely become a key training target for the academy.
As long as Qin Hanchu worked a bit harder, his future was boundless.
As Qin Hanchu's classmates, they naturally wanted to gain some advantage.
"Are all classmates here? Then let's start serving the dishes," Zhou Haochen said with a smile at this moment.
"Everyone is here. We can start eating," a classmate said with a smile.
"Alright, start serving the dishes," Zhou Haochen said to the waiter.
Before long, the table was filled with delicious dishes.
After a few rounds of drinks, a female classmate suddenly came back crying from outside.
"Lili, what's wrong?" Seeing the female classmate return crying, everyone quickly asked.
Lili wiped her tears and choked out, "I went to the restroom just now, and a man groped me."
"Bastard! How dare he bully our classmate! We must not let him go!" Qi Zihua, as the class monitor, said indignantly.
"Lili, take us to him. We'll back you up," Zhou Haochen said angrily.
Led by Lili, the entire class left the banquet hall.
"I saw him walk into this private room," Lili said after a moment, pointing to a private room.
Zhou Haochen pushed open the door and walked in first.
"Who are you people? What are you doing?" A group of young men and women suddenly burst in, startling the people inside.
"Lili, which beast groped you?" Zhou Haochen asked.
Lili recognized the man at a glance. She pointed at the bald man among them and said, "It's him!"
"A bunch of unlicked cubs, do you know who I am?"
"You're here to cause trouble? You've got guts!"
"So what if I groped you? Believe it or not, I'll take care of you right here!" The bald man was clearly a bit drunk, and he yelled with a red face.
"You'd better apologize to my classmate, or don't blame us for being impolite," Zhou Haochen said angrily.
"Impolite? Come on, let's see how you're going to be impolite to me!" The bald man waved his hand, and a short knife appeared in his hand. He said menacingly.
Seeing the man draw the short knife, the classmates' eyes were filled with fear.
Although they had practiced martial arts, they had never participated in actual combat.
In contrast, the dozen or so burly men opposite them looked like menacing ruffians.
Zhou Haochen had intended to mention his father's name, but after thinking about it, he suddenly remembered Qin Hanchu.
Wasn't Qin Hanchu a peak seventh-rank martial artist?
It would be best to let him handle this matter!
Perhaps he could even use this incident for revenge.
"Classmate Qin, our classmate is being bullied. Aren't you going to stand up and say something?" Zhou Haochen said to Qin Hanchu.
"Is this the surprise you prepared for me?" Qin Hanchu believed that tonight's banquet was definitely a Hongmen Banquet, so he suspected that Zhou Haochen had arranged this matter.
"What do you mean?" Zhou Haochen looked clueless.
"Did you prepare a special program for me tonight?" Qin Hanchu asked directly.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Haochen's expression became unnatural.
He had indeed prepared a stratagem, but this matter really had nothing to do with him.
"I did prepare a special program for you, but my people haven't arrived yet. I didn't hire them." Since he had been seen through, Zhou Haochen decided to be upfront.
