Chapter 16 Gossip!

Facing Theo's scrutinizing gaze, Roang's expression did not change at all, as if he had not noticed the trap deliberately left by the other party in his words.

From the moment the conversation between the two parties began, Roang established an invisible boundary in his heart and told himself that if he wanted to leave alive, he had better keep this line.

Just through Theo's explanation, Roang realized that there was definitely something behind the Ballidoo incident, so there was no need for him to get involved.

Even if he clearly analyzes the possible connection with Theo, how much reward can the other party give him?

A very simple interest analysis made Luo Ang stop planning and continue to explore the inside story.

In the vast city of Chicago, there are so many hidden transactions, and how many of them are related to the South Side of Chicago. Why bother yourself?

It's not that he doesn't dare to continue exploring, but it's meaningless and has no corresponding benefits.

So when Roang discovered that Theo was deliberately guiding him to speak, he immediately stopped thinking about continuing to communicate.

...

The air in the activity room seemed particularly oppressive at the moment, and none of the people present had the desire to speak.

Looking at Luo Ang's face, it seemed that nothing had happened and that he had already said everything he wanted to say.

After being silent for a while, Theo suddenly chuckled and said: "Well, knowing Hughes's appearance is indeed enough. Thank you for your help."

After hearing his words, Luo Ang decisively got down from the table and walked towards the door.

Just when Leon touched the doorknob, Theo's slightly sharp but distinctive voice sounded behind him: "Leon, you are a good person. I hope we can become friends."

Luo Ang did not look back, pressed the door handle, and replied as he walked: "I hope so!"

After he walked out of the activity room, he called Hicks on the side and headed to the other side of the corridor.

The people guarding outside did not receive Theo's instructions, so they watched the two people leaving, and then returned to the activity room under the leadership of Theo's bodyguard.

As if nothing happened, Luo Ang walked quietly in the aisle and soon arrived at the door of the cafeteria. Seeing that he remained silent, Hicks, who was following him, could only take the lead and said: "Hey, Lai

Ang, why don’t you ask where I am?”

Glancing at him, Luo Ang said casually: "I know, because of the matter about Ballidoo."

"Walter? That person told you about this?"

Hicks asked with a shocked look on his face.

"Is this weird?"

Being interrupted by his words one after another, Luo Ang said with some dissatisfaction.

"It's not weird, it's not weird, it's just weird if it's not weird!"

Hicks' face was full of confusion, but Roang was not going to satisfy his curiosity. He looked at him inquiringly and ordered: "If you have this time, why not help me find a boy, his name is D'Antoni?"

Gerald is a black kid, about thirteen years old."

"Well...he is my little cousin. He should be in the school now. After you find him, take him to the second floor of the cafeteria."

"Yes, sir!"

Hicks waved his hand and ran away quickly to find the thirteen-year-old black child.

After looking at his leaving figure, Luo Ang nodded with satisfaction in his heart. This is why he would help him again and again.

Hicks is a very smart and "sensible" person. Only such a person can survive and live well in the South District.

Roang would rather pay a price that he thought was not excessive for people like him, rather than work on those who are reckless and unaware.

The former can be your own helper.

The latter will only become a drag on yourself.

For Rohan, who is determined to leave the muddy land of the South District, only people like Hicks will come into his eyes, and the others are just passers-by.

"Hey Leon"

"Yo, Leon"

...

Nodding to a few classmates he knew and saying hello, Luo Ang went straight to the second floor of the cafeteria.

People like these were labeled as burdensome in Luo Ang's mind. He would rather memorize a few more mathematical formulas than memorize their names.

Find a seat near the window and sit down, first put a few books in your hands on the seat.

There were too many things happening at once, and they came one after another. Luo Ang had not had time to put the book back into the locker, so he had to keep it with him.

When I came to the dining counter in the cafeteria, I handed the meal card my mother gave me to the cafeteria aunt, received a free lunch, and returned to my seat.

This is one of the few preferential treatment Lauren gets from this high school.

After all, he has the highest academic level in the school, and he taught at Whinnett High School. When he came to this school, Harry Sr. was very excited and gave him as many preferential treatment as he could.

Luo Ang followed his father's teachings and ate his food slowly.

Today's lunch was a sandwich with lemon juice. Although Luo Ang did not understand the connection between the two, he still ate in silence for the sake of it being free.

Even though Luo Ang chose a seat by the window, which was relatively cornered in the cafeteria, he could still feel the voices of people talking and pointing behind him.

Luo Ang has long been accustomed to ignoring these. As the only one from Madford High School who has attended a private high school, even though it was only a few months, it was his father Robben, who was one of the most successful ones before the accident.

moon.

During that time, thanks to Robben's hard work, Roang successfully attended a private high school located in a wealthy area of ​​Chicago.

However, after Robben was murdered, Luo Ang and his family could no longer afford the expensive tuition fees for private high schools, so as their house was sold, the two of them came to 51st Street together, and Luo Ang also transferred to another school.

The public high school in the neighborhood where their home is located, Madford High School.

In the eyes of children from the slums, this experience of a rich man and a noble son being in trouble and living in the slums made them very excited and concerned about Luo Ang in the first few months or even the whole year after he entered school.

I have always heard that children who go to public high schools are specially recruited to private high schools either because their families suddenly become rich or because of their outstanding sports talents. The proportion of the latter is the highest.

In the eyes of those who were at least attending Madford High School, an experience like Roang's was a first time.

Therefore, Luo Ang is regarded as an alternative 'star' and a down-and-out 'prince' in this school. Of course, the names here are derogatory and ridiculing.

In less than half a year, Luo Ang needed to spare extra energy to face the malice and ridicule from the outside world, which made him understand a very simple truth.
