Why are people from Deyu next door getting involved...? She was momentarily panicked, but quickly calmed down.

Shen Lian was surprised that she hadn't caught her. She was puzzled when she saw Ming Xiaoxiao biting her lip and looking at her with tears in her eyes.

"If you weren't a woman, I would have already..."

"What did you say you already know?" a chilling voice rang out.

Zhang Siyuan raised his eyelids and looked towards the alley entrance, somewhat surprised to find another uninvited guest.

But she quickly realized that this great deity had come for Ming Xiaoxiao.

The boy didn't even glance at the battle on the other side of the alley. He lifted his foot and walked coldly into the alley, until he reached Ming Xiaoxiao and pulled that stubborn figure behind him.

Ming Xiaoxiao's lips trembled, "Pei Si, you've finally come..."

She looked as if she had suffered a great injustice, and tears streamed down her face.

Chen Lian: "???"

Zhang Siyuan: "..."

Damn it, I'm so annoyed.

“We didn’t lay a hand on her,” Zhang Siyuan said, barely containing his anger. “She’s the one who invited us here for a long lecture. The person we were supposed to deal with was Xie Li.”

Qu Wenbin pushed up his glasses and said, "Oh, then it was a misunderstanding. But I'm sorry, Xiaoxiao is someone we've got our back. I hope everyone will remember that in the future."

As he spoke, his eyes behind the glasses seemed to sweep over Chen Lian meaningfully.

Pei Si frowned but did not object to Qu Wenbin including Ming Xiaoxiao within his sphere of influence.

He lifted his foot and started walking, shouting, "Aren't you going to catch up?"

It was already an exception that he even bothered to come over; he didn't want to get involved in other people's messy affairs.

Ming Xiaoxiao hesitated, then gritted her teeth, "Wait, Pei Si, can you help Xie Li out..."

As soon as she mentioned Xie Li, Chen Lian couldn't help but jump up and down.

"Is this never going to end? Is Xie Li your father or your mother? Why are you meddling in such matters?"

Li Chen was also extremely annoyed. "Stop it! I recognize you. You're from Deyu, right? What's your name again, Sister Qian?"

"If you hit me again, believe me, I really will beat you up!"

He was caught off guard and attacked. After that, he kept jumping around, and his opponent couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes. The more he fought, the angrier he became, and finally he had to stop.

"Aren't you the helper Xie Li sent?" Sister Qian narrowed her eyes, her gaze wicked. The person she wanted to teach a lesson to was Xie Li, not some random nobody.

What's going on with these people? Why isn't Xie Li himself here?

She cast a suspicious glance at Zhang Siyuan.

The scene was chaotic.

Only Ming Xiaoxiao straightened her chest and said earnestly, "Xie Li is my classmate and friend. I would never stand idly by while she is in danger!"

Pei Si's brows furrowed with impatience. He grabbed Ming Xiaoxiao by the collar, preparing to take her away, when suddenly, a stern, authoritative shout rang out from the alley entrance.

"Zhang Siyuan! Chen Lian! What are you doing again?!"

Upon hearing the voice, the group's scalps tingled with fear; this was...

Looking up, I saw the head of the teaching department with a big belly at the entrance of the alley. Behind him were the homeroom teacher and class monitor of the first-year international class, Jiang Yifan.

——

A planned fight was eventually brought to light due to Jiang Yifan's betrayal.

When Xie Li received the call from her homeroom teacher, she had just gotten into the car and was about to go home. After all, she had waited for so long and still had to get to her house before curfew.

When the homeroom teacher heard that she was already on her way home, she said, "It's nothing, you can go home now."

Xie Li then hung up the phone with a sense of relief.

Unbeknownst to her, a group of people were standing in the dean's office being criticized.
