"Dao Ming Si!" said a surprised Wong Tin Ma looking over to his companions now alert.
"Wong Tin Ma, what is this I hear about you wanting to take our name, F4?" demanded Dao Ming Si.
"It's not wanting, we took it, why, what do you want to do about it?"
Dao Ming Si sighs,
"Look, I know we have had our differences, and in the past we've always tried to settle things by force, but we're not kids anymore, let's settle this like adults and talk about it."
Wong Tin Ma laughs,
"The mighty Dao Ming Si wants to talk? I guess that accident must have given you permanent brain damage! What's to talk about? F4 is no longer in the university. That's that. I tell you what, I think you're afraid, how about that?"
Anger now crept into Dao Ming Si's voice,
"I can see you're unreasonable, you haven't changed at all, does your friends feel the same way?"
"They follow my lead, no more needs to be said!" Wong Tin Ma arrogantly put in.
"Fine, tomorrow night, 10:00, same old place?"
"Good, tomorrow night, 10:00, same old place. Dao Ming Si, I've been waiting a
long time for this."
Dao Ming Si hangs up on him in anger. Back in San Cai's place everyone is looking at him expectantly.
"I tried to reason with him but we've too much hatred from the past." He sighs.
"Tomorrow night at 10:00," he looks over to Xi Men "in our usual place."
"What's the usual place?" asked Qing He.
"Our traditional battleground, behind the university is the sports arena for outdoor events, we met there in the past to settle our differences."
Xi Men excited keeps punching his fist into his
hands, "This is it! Ha! Mei Zhou will be so upset that he missed this!"
Qing He paling, "I think I'm going to be sick!"
***********************************************************
Wong Tin Ma snickers when Dao Ming Si hanged up on
him. He walks back to the table and puts on his bag gloves and goes over to the
heavy bag.
Lin Wai asks, "So X predicted correctly, they called us. Will they meet us?"
"Yeah, tomorrow night, 10:00, same old place." Said Tin Ma who proceeded to punch the bag envisioning Dao Ming Si's face there.
Lin Wai takes a sip of his wine grabs his book and sits on the floor now with his legs wide apart, stretching and reading at the same time.
Po Le goes back to the machine and starts his reps again disquiet in his heart.
He dislikes his friends penchant for violence but they are his friends, again though, he will await and see the outcome.
His intuition tells him there is more to this than it appears.
***********************************************************
Back at San Cai's house everyone is sitting and sipping their beers. Mimi remembers something and snaps her fingers drawing everyone's attention.
"Mimi Junior wishes to report! I just remembered, when Qing He Senior and I first encountered Wong Tin Ma Senior he mentioned there is a 4th member to their group!"
Dao Ming Si and Xi Men sat up in shock.
"4th member?" Dao Ming Si said. "In all our years at Ying De and middle school it was only those 3. And I've heard no mention of anyone else!" He looks toward Xi Men.
Xi Men just as puzzled and shocked merely shrugged his shoulders.
"Dao Ming Si Senior, Wong Tin Ma Senior mentioned that the 4th member was a secret member, not publicly announced! Perhaps this member's role is like a spy or informant.", put in Mimi.
Xi Men said, "Well, this is an interesting development!"
"Hm, now that I think about it I was wondering why some of the lackeys I put on their behind always wind up getting beaten up by them!" said Dao Ming Si.
"On their behind?" asked a puzzled Xi Men.
"Yeah, to follow them, is it not 'on their behind'?" said Dao Ming Si.
San Cai rolls her eyes and said, "Pig head, the expression is 'on their tail'!"
"And why they sometimes show up at the same places
we do!" added Xi Men.
San Cai looked at Dao Ming Si, "Lackeys?"
Dao Ming Si looked away from San Cai and coughed into his hands.
The room was quiet and the mood apprehensive. Everyone with their own thoughts about the next night.
Dao Ming Si had his arm around San Cai, her head resting on his shoulders.
Then the doorbell rings.
San Cai comfortable where she was said to Mimi, "Mimi, can you get that for me?"
Mimi nods and smiles and goes to answer the door.
She comes back shortly her face pale in shock.
"What's wrong Mimi? Who was it?" asked San Cai.
Mimi speechless merely points to the door.
Then in walks Hua Ze Lei.
