Chapter 4 Those male bastards who never study and whose eyesight is terrible…

When Wen Han heard them calling Wen Ruo a male homewrecker, she laughed so hard she couldn't stand up straight. She didn't even have the energy to say anything sarcastic.

Although Wen Ruan was afraid of Gu Cheng, she did not want him to be punished, so she stood in front of Wen Ruo and tried to stop him.

Gu Cheng's fist actually stopped an inch in front of her, and Wen Ruo did not expect this change. She couldn't stop her fist and knocked down Gu Cheng's mouth, which could be considered as avenging the early morning study session.

Wen Ruan was stunned. He stared at Gu Cheng's lips in disbelief, then felt a sudden pang of guilt. The henchmen outside, seeing Gu Cheng beaten, immediately clamored to rush in and avenge their boss.

Wen Han roughly counted and found there were more than a dozen people, with several more guarding outside. The office was suddenly packed with people, and all he could see were colorful heads.

Wen Ruo could handle two or three people, but she was easily overwhelmed by a dozen. Seeing the situation escalating and the door blocked, the teachers in the office pulled out their phones to try and call the principal. Gu Cheng's henchmen snatched the phones away, and the teachers, seeing their menacing expressions, didn't dare move. Some of the quick-witted students outside, sensing the danger, ran towards the principal's office.

The physics teacher, a recent college graduate, trembled at the sight. Wasn't this supposed to be a good school? She'd gone through so much trouble to get in; had she been scammed?

The students jostled around, and Wen Han told the teacher to hide under the desk. He was currently very close to the sink, with a long blue water pipe still attached to the tap. He was about to move slowly to the sink when he was suddenly pushed back. Jing Yu picked up an acrylic sheet that had been temporarily piled up in the office and blocked the desk. Wen Han was puzzled; this flimsy sheet would break easily, what use could it be?

Jing Yu stood in front of the acrylic panel as a shield. Only the physics teacher was too terrified to notify the principal, so his phone wasn't stolen. He whispered, "Call the police."

"ah?"

Jing Yu sighed and leaned back slightly. "But some students have already told the principal. They'll probably stop by the time the police arrive. Wen Han, why don't you just bear with it for now?"

Oh, so Jingyu had just asked him to secretly call the police. Wen Han suddenly realized that this was a great opportunity!

He immediately crouched down and whispered to the physics teacher, "Teacher, something terrible has happened! What if Wen Ruo gets beaten to death? Let's call the police quickly. Do you still have your phone?"

Upon hearing this, the teacher became anxious and immediately took out his phone. Wen Han quickly took it. Because Jing Yu was blocking him, the thugs fighting outside did not notice that Wen Han had secretly raised his phone to record. He captured Gu Cheng and his underling's faces clearly. Fortunately, his stupid brother was being ganged up on and could not fight back, so it could not be considered a mutual fight.

Worried that Wen Ruo would be beaten too badly, Wen Han made sure she had filmed everything she wanted to, then quickly stopped recording and prepared to call the police. However, Gu Cheng's underling saw it and immediately complained to Gu Cheng, "Boss, something bad has happened! He's holding a phone and he's going to call the police!"

"These bastards, their eyesight is so bad because they never study!" Wen Han cursed inwardly. He hadn't even had a chance to call the police yet; what if they went so far as to beat him up too?

Zhang Yongqi said angrily, "Damn it, he didn't film it, did he?"

Wen Han's fingers were trembling with nervousness. He simply sent the video to the WeChat group. He refused to believe that these people would be able to retract it one by one!

He had just entered the three digits 110 and hadn't even dialed when Zhang Yongqi pounced on him and tried to snatch the phone. Wen Han refused to let go, but the teacher pulled her back: "Forget it, don't provoke him, in case he goes crazy."

Jing Yu glanced at him indifferently, and seeing that he didn't move, Wen Han said anxiously, "Jing Yu, please help me!"

“This is the latest Apple 12 Pro on the market,” Jing Yu said, seemingly offering a friendly reminder. “If you break it, you’ll probably have to pay the original price.”

Zhang Yongqi's family was even worse off than the Wen family; they were lucky to have enough money for today's groceries. Wen Han only knew that apples weren't cheap, but he didn't own a cell phone either. Seeing that Zhang Yongqi seemed hesitant, he quickly asked the teacher, "Teacher, how much does this cell phone cost?"

"Huh?" The physics teacher was taken aback. "My boyfriend gave it to me. All I know is that it's 256GB."

256G, what is that?

The system explained: "256G is the phone's storage capacity. This phone is currently priced at 9299 on the market."

Wen Han gasped. It was so expensive, equivalent to two months' salary for Wen Qingke.

Zhang Yongqi was conflicted. His family certainly couldn't afford it, but Gu Cheng had been incredibly kind to him. He gritted his teeth, and his underlings behind him heard this and shouted, "We'll chip in and give you the money!"

Wen Han was also caught in a dilemma. He disliked Gu Cheng, and naturally, he disliked the group of brothers around him. In the drama, Zhang Yongqi was Gu Cheng's loyal right-hand man. But he was already eighteen years old. If his family really couldn't afford to pay the compensation, would he go to jail? His parents would definitely try their best to raise the money, but nearly ten thousand yuan was a considerable burden for a poor family.

Seeing Wen Han hesitate, her serene eyes revealing no emotion, Jing Yu leaned closer and said in a voice loud enough for everyone to hear, "Wen Han, grab it back quickly, this will be evidence when the police arrive."

Wen Han was startled. Upon hearing this, Zhang Yongqi no longer hesitated and snatched the phone away. Before Wen Han could react, she instinctively let go, but the other man was too strong, and the phone was flung out of her hand and fell into the bucket.

"Teacher, what should we do?" Wen Han asked anxiously.

Knowing that Wen Han's family was not well-off, the physics teacher quickly comforted her, saying, "It's alright, it's not like you're trying to take it from us."

Wen Han breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Yongqi was still putting on a nonchalant act when he turned around to help gang up on Wen Ruo. Wen Han glared at him: "This phone costs over nine thousand yuan! You'd better think about how you're going to explain this to your parents!"

Zhang Yongqi felt a chill when he heard the number. He was not only afraid of his father's scolding, but also worried about how his family could afford it: "Wasn't it a gift from her boyfriend? She didn't buy it herself. She shouldn't have accepted such an expensive gift. She's a teacher now and she's still so vain."

The physics teacher was so angry she almost cried. Wen Han scolded him, "You're ignorant of the law. You should wait for the police to come and finish your long-winded explanation."

Wait, the teacher's phone is in the bucket; he hasn't had time to call the police yet!

Wen Ruan's scream came from over there, and Wen Han finally realized why Wen Ruo hadn't made a sound. He looked through the crowd and saw that Wen Ruo had been pinned to the ground and beaten. Although Gu Cheng also felt that it was dishonorable for more people to beat one person, he just held Wen Ruan's arm tightly at this moment, staring at him without moving, feeling heartbroken for him as he watched him suffer, waiting for the moment when Wen Ruan's gaze would return to him.

After all, they came from the same mother. Wen Han picked up the large triangular ruler on the table to go and help, but was stopped by Jing Yu.

“If you go over there now, it will turn into a fight,” Jing Yu comforted him. “Most people are blocked outside. Your brother is in a blind spot in front of the desk, so he won’t get seriously hurt.”

It's just a fracture at most.

The principal finally arrived belatedly with reinforcements and brought the situation under control. He sternly reprimanded them, "School is for learning, not for fighting and showing off. If you lot don't want to learn, you should go home now!"

Wen Ruan quickly went to help Wen Ruo. The principal asked the homeroom teacher to take Wen Ruo to the infirmary first, and asked Gu Cheng's teacher to take him back first: "I have already told President Gu about this. He told you to go back to your studies and not cause any more trouble."

Wen Han sneered. What was the principal doing? Not sending the person to the hospital, not calling the student's parents, was he trying to downplay the matter? He shouted, "My brother needs to go to the hospital. What can the infirmary find out?"

The principal frowned, but he didn't take Wen Han seriously. He pulled out his phone, his expression changing instantly: "Yang Wei, who gave you permission to film videos and upload them outside of school!"

The physics teacher was startled, and Wen Han immediately turned her attention to Gu Cheng: "Gu Cheng, what's wrong? You're so capable, are you going to make things difficult for the new teacher?"

Gu Cheng scoffed, "Old man, since I did it, I'm not afraid of it getting out."

The principal felt like he had swallowed a fly, but he calmed down a bit after watching the video. Although the video showed Gu Cheng's face, he was still holding onto Wen Ruan and hadn't actually hit her. He figured it would be fine if Yang Wei clarified things on her WeChat Moments, or if that didn't work, the Gu family could just pay to have all the videos deleted from the internet. After that, the storm wouldn't be able to get out of control.

The principal ignored them completely. It would take at least several hours to borrow a phone outside the school during the lunch break, and by then the Gu family would have already taken care of it, even if they called the police. Wen Han saw Wen Ruo with her head down and sneered, "Wen Ruo, see? Don't be so kind in the future. You won't get anything out of it, and the other person might even be enjoying it."

Wen Ruan looked at Wen Han with some sadness, her eyes full of grievance. Wen Han knew that he was indeed implicated in this matter, but at this moment he just wanted to grab Wen Ruan and Gu Cheng, these two plagues, with one hand on each side and make them stick together so that they wouldn't cause any more trouble for others.

Wen Ruan looked so wronged and pitiful that the homeroom teacher sighed, "Wen Han, how can you blame Wen Ruan for this?"

"I don't blame him. The people who should be blamed are all fine." Wen Han retorted. "Why didn't they call the police? A high school brawl isn't considered a brawl, is it? How many of them are adults?"

To protect the school's reputation, the principal certainly wouldn't call the police. Wen Han declared, "If you don't want to call the police, then let's settle this privately. Don't think that a little money can get us off the hook."

Feeling embarrassed, Wen Ruo spoke up at this moment: "That's enough!"

"What, you'd rather be beaten up for nothing!"

Just as the commotion was raging, the principal's phone suddenly rang. He answered it and immediately panicked. Wen Han saw several police officers in uniform. Who had called the police?

Without the principal's permission, the teachers probably wouldn't dare to do it. Students aren't allowed to bring cell phones, and even if they did, they wouldn't dare to call the police and expose themselves. So who did it?

The police cleared out all irrelevant people from the office. Just then, the bell rang, and the students were sent back to their classrooms for class. Wen Ruo was taken to the hospital. Wen Han wanted to go to the hospital so she wouldn't have to attend class, but the homeroom teacher still sent her back to class.

During class, Wen Ruan and Wen Han were both distracted. Wen Ruan completely forgot about Wen Ruo who had been beaten because of him and was worried about whether Gu Cheng would be in trouble. Would he really be arrested and go to jail?

Wen Han also temporarily forgot about Wen Ruo. He couldn't figure out who had called the police!
