The two rushed to the back of the teaching building and quickly found Xiao An and the others, but the scene before them was completely opposite to what they had imagined.

Xiao An, who was lying pitifully on the ground, looking weak and helpless, thought she would be bullied. But now, she stood upright among the children, her eyebrows and eyes gentle, and the corners of her lips slightly upturned.

All I heard was him calmly saying to the children kneeling at his feet, "I won't hold it against you today, but don't you dare gang up on me again, or I'll get angry."

The kids: You think you can hide your anger by putting on a kind face? Just leave us alone!

Just a few minutes ago, Zhang Haiteng, along with seven or eight little brats, surrounded Xiao An and started berating him. They only got halfway through their insults before they even had a chance to lay a hand on him.

This seemingly frail, excessively pale-faced young man suddenly struck two spots on their bodies, causing them to become numb and unable to move, collapsing to the ground unable to utter a sound.

"What's going on?" Lin Xiazhu looked at Zhang Haiteng and the others in surprise.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered that when she came back from buying goods in the city last time, Lin Xiaoxue complained to her, "Big sister, you must believe me, Xiao An is a bad guy, don't be fooled by his appearance, he is very bad... Second sister, that idiot, actually didn't believe what I said."

Lin Xiaoxue told her that Xiao An had touched the back of her head and her neck, or maybe two other places, and then she couldn't move or speak. She said that Xiao An could use sorcery.

"Don't talk nonsense. You must have deliberately caused trouble for Xiao An. He was injured so badly. Be careful not to make his injuries worse." Lin Xiazhu also didn't believe that Xiao An would do anything to anyone. Xiao An seemed like a well-behaved and obedient child.

But now Lin Xiazhu is not calm. Xiao An doesn't seem as harmless as he appears. He seems to be quite powerful.

Zhang Haiteng's eyes widened as he sent a distress signal to Lin Xiazhu.

Xiao An blinked, a moment of panic flashing across his face, but he quickly regained his composure and calmly bent down to tap Zhang Haiteng and the others twice.

Soon Zhang Haiteng and the others were able to move again and regain their ability to speak.

"I'm going to tell the teacher what you just did to us. You're not doing good." After being freed, Zhang Haiteng was neither frightened nor remorseful.

They were also very arrogant.

"You're the one who dragged Xiao An here by force. You're not as good as him, and you got beaten up instead of hitting him. Now you still have the nerve to tell the teacher? You dare to tell one and see what happens." Lin Xiazhu grabbed his collar angrily and lifted him up with one hand.

Zhang Haiteng's chubby face turned pale with fright, and his legs kicked wildly in the air. "Let me go... I, I can't breathe."

Lin Xiazhu only meant to scare him, but she didn't expect him to actually hurt him. Seeing how weak he was, rolling his eyes in no time, she immediately put him down.

"Such a young age, yet such a wicked mind, daring to gather a group to beat people up. Now you know who's powerful. It's not about having more people to win. Our family is very capable." Lin Chacha stood with her hands on her hips, looking fierce.

Seeing that they didn't speak, Lin Chacha felt angry and thought she was being looked down upon. No, she had to show them what she was capable of and let them know that she was also very good.

She looked around but couldn't find a large rock that suited her. After thinking for a moment, she gritted her teeth and walked up to Zhang Haiteng. Just as he realized what was happening and tried to get away, she quickly grabbed him.

The older woman could lift a person with one hand, though she wasn't as strong. But by using both hands and gritting her teeth, she managed to lift the person off the ground by one centimeter.

She persevered for several dozen seconds before Lin Chacha's hand trembled slightly as she put the person down. "If class hadn't started soon, I could have held on a little longer."

Phew, thank goodness the school bell rang, otherwise she would have been so embarrassed; she couldn't have held on for even a second longer.

Lin Xiazhu grabbed Xiao An and Lin Chacha by the hand and ran towards the classroom, saying, "Hurry up, the teacher is almost here. Those who are late will have to stand outside as punishment."

Lin Xiazhu was too fast, like a tornado quickly carrying people away, her figure disappearing around the corner in the blink of an eye.

"Haiteng, we're going back to class too." The underlings spoke cautiously, and Haiteng seemed stunned.

With a "whoosh," Zhang Haiteng suddenly rushed out and disappeared in an instant.

The group of kids: "..." Oh no, they're going to be late for class, and they're probably going to have to stand as punishment.

Those who rushed back to the classroom immediately acted as if nothing had happened, such as Lin Xiazhu, Xiao An, and Lin Chacha. Even Zhang Haiteng quietly finished the class with a dazed expression.

Only his henchmen were punished by being made to stand.

During this class, Zhang Haiteng was torn about whether or not to tell the teacher. His class teacher, Ms. Zhang, was his mother's best friend. If he went to tell her, Ms. Zhang would definitely side with him.

However, Lin Xiazhu and her younger siblings took turns turning around to look at him. Lin Xiazhu's eyes were calm, but he could see the warning in them. Lin Ru'an's expression was gentle, and her clear eyes glanced at him lightly, but it made him shiver involuntarily.

Lin Chacha was small, but the fiercest. She glared at him angrily, her eyes fixed on him as if she were about to rush over and lift him up with gritted teeth.

Help! He's just a child, and he's usually a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong. He was terrified that these three would secretly drag him into a corner and beat him up when the teachers and parents weren't looking. He didn't even have a chance to cry for help.

Maybe we shouldn't report him, so they won't retaliate against him?

So the class ended peacefully, but when it was time to leave school, Zhang Haiteng and his gang stopped Lin Xiazhu and her two companions outside the school gate.

Thinking he was going to cause trouble again, Lin Xiazhu felt annoyed and wondered what method she could use to subdue these little brats once and for all, so that they would never dare to bully Xiao An again.

"Here, have this. It's on me." Zhang Haiteng shoved the food into Xiao An's hands and then ran off with his gang.

Lin Xiazhu, Lin Chacha and Xiao An: "..." Why are you suddenly treating us again? Is it to indicate that you want to reconcile?

Xiao An handed the plastic bag to Lin Xiazhu. Lin Xiazhu opened it and found three orange juices, three packets of "Tang Monk Meat" (a type of cigarette), and three pig ears inside.

Pig ears are actually just fried pastries made of flour, shaped like pig ears. These items together cost five or six mao (0.5-0.6 yuan). Zhang Haiteng's family is indeed one of the richest in town, quite generous.

"Sister, should we eat his food?" Lin Chacha swallowed hard. She really wanted to eat it, but eating the enemy's food would be a sign of weakness, and her reason told her she couldn't.

But it would be such a waste to throw it away.

"Give it back to him tomorrow. We have money, and we can buy it ourselves if we want to eat it." Lin Xiazhu didn't want a child to treat her, and Zhang Haiteng hadn't explained himself before throwing the food at them. She didn't want to eat other people's food for no reason.

“Yes, if you want to eat, we can buy it ourselves. I have money. Xiao An, what do you want to eat? I'll treat you.” Lin Chacha took out three 50-cent coins and two one-yuan coins from her pocket, all of which were given to her by Lin Xiazhu.

"...Sister, I want to eat ice cream." Xiao An didn't answer Lin Chacha, but looked at Lin Xiazhu. He just wanted Lin Xiazhu to treat him.
