Xun Ting hadn't planned to go back to Xun's home, but a text message on her phone told her to go back today, so she had no choice but to walk there based on her memory. For the convenience of studying, Xun's home wasn't far from the school.

As I passed through the alley, I saw a group of people surrounding someone with vicious expressions, as if they were bullying them. As I got closer, I heard their voices.

"I really didn't tell the teacher. I didn't say that. I swear."

"Are you the only one who knows this? If you didn't say it, who did? Are you lying through your teeth?" The leader was a handsome but roguish man with a large tattoo on his arm.

His hair was dyed brownish-yellow, he exuded a bad aura, and the smile on his lips was full of contempt.

"I really don't know, Gu Shen, don't slander me like this. This is the entrance of Imperial School, and many people pass by here." The boy clutched his clothes tightly and retreated weakly.

"Bang!" Gu Shen kicked out, "You dare threaten me? Who do you think you are!"

"Cough cough cough..." The boy was immediately kicked to the ground, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He stared motionlessly at Shen Ye, the school bully from the vocational high school next door, his fear growing stronger.

He almost forgot that the other person wasn't afraid of anyone passing by at all.

Gu Shen smiled mockingly, stood aside, and disdained to continue personally taking action. "Give him a good beating, I want to see how awesome he really is!"

"Yes, Brother Shen." Several thugs immediately stepped forward, ready to start a fight.

"Wait! Someone's peeping over there. She's wearing our school uniform. She'll definitely call the police for me." The boy suddenly spotted the woman by the alley and spoke up impatiently.

"Just passing by." Xun Ting had originally intended to go and help, but after hearing this, he thought, "Tsk, I'd better just stay there and get lectured."

"Get the hell over here!" Gu Shen's narrow eyes fell on her. Due to his mild nearsightedness, he couldn't see her face clearly from three meters away, only her petite figure.

As soon as he finished speaking, several of his underlings went to fetch someone.

"Xun Ting, is it the thing you leaked? I remember now, I told you yesterday!" The boy on the ground couldn't wait to speak the moment he saw her.

"Who are you?" Xun Ting frowned deeply. She was certain she didn't know this man, let alone what he was talking about. She didn't know anything about it herself, so how could she reveal anything?

However, having read countless novels, she guessed that this man might be trying to frame her.

"I know your name? You're pretending not to know me? Brother Shen, it's her, it must be! Otherwise, why would she pretend not to know me? We're in the same class, you can check if you don't believe me."

Now I understand what it means to be walking on the road when disaster strikes from the sky.

Curiosity killed the man.

"Are you looking for death? You think I don't hit women?" Gu Shen glanced at the composed woman and chuckled mockingly. She did indeed have a certain charm.

Like a lotus emerging from clear water, she was petite and charming, with captivating eyes that seemed to speak volumes.

Xun Ting glanced at his watch; it was getting late, and he needed to get back as soon as possible. "Hurry up and stop talking nonsense."

Gu Shen clapped his hands with a laugh, then stepped back. It was the first time he'd been provoked like this, and he said unhappily, "Fine, since she's asking for it? Then teach her a lesson!"

Several thugs immediately crowded around, their movements swift and efficient as they searched for the man, quickly knocking him to the ground.

"Ahhhhh..."
