"Lin Qingyan, I won't let you get away with this. I'm taller, healthier, and stronger than you. I'll definitely beat you down and make you beg me to let you go."
Hmph, in terms of martial arts, she is absolutely capable of crushing Lin Qingyan.
Lin Qingyan did not deny what Tong Jiaojiao said; in a hand-to-hand combat, she was definitely no match for her.
Since that's the case, hand-to-hand combat is not an option; we must play to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses by relying on other forces.
"Lin Qingyan, I'm going to beat you up to vent my anger."
"Then come on over."
Just as Tong Jiaojiao raised her hand to slap Lin Qingyan again, a sinister glint of light suddenly flashed, dazzling Tong Jiaojiao's eyes.
Before her hand could even touch Lin Qingyan, it was forced back by a sharp blade.
Lin Qingyan brandished the kitchen knife in her hand: "Tong Jiaojiao, you bitch, come on. Let's see if your slap is harder, or my kitchen knife."
Tong Jiaojiao was indeed frightened, and a look of fear appeared on her face.
"Lin Qingyan, you actually carry a kitchen knife with you?"
"This is my self-defense weapon, specifically to protect against people like you who have wicked intentions and are foul-mouthed and thuggish."
She originally thought Tong Jiaojiao was just a naive and innocent girl, and never bothered with her, but she never expected the other party to be so deserving of a beating.
"Heh, just trying to scare me." Tong Jiaojiao didn't believe Lin Qingyan would really dare to cut her.
Lin Qingyan quickly brought the kitchen knife closer to her face: "Don't move, I can chop you up and use you as firewood right now."
Startled, Tong Jiaojiao took a few steps back, and because she lost her balance, she fell to the ground with a thud.
She quickly stood up, wanting to complain to Chen Lu, but she didn't get along with Chen Lu, so she went to find Chen Wenbin instead.
I don't know why she didn't go to Wang Qiang.
She ran to the male educated youth dormitory, and as soon as she entered, she grabbed Chen Wenbin's hand: "Brother Wenbin, someone is bullying me, you have to stand up for me."
Chen Wenbin was afraid that Chen Lu would see him, so he quickly shook her off.
But since he had been entrusted by her parents to take care of Tong Jiaojiao, he said, "This is a youth settlement. If you have any problems, you can talk to the person in charge here."
Wang Qiang walked over and asked, "Tong Zhiqing, what exactly happened?"
Tong Jiaojiao wiped away non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes, "Wang Zhiqing, Lin Zhiqing, she, she tried to cut me with a knife."
Upon hearing this, Yi Zhiheng, who had been silent, suddenly turned his gaze over, staring sharply at Tong Jiaojiao, waiting to hear what she would say next.
"Tong Zhiqing, what exactly happened? Why did Lin Zhiqing suddenly take a knife and try to attack you?"
In his memory, Lin Qingyan not only looked gentle and weak, but also steady and obedient. He couldn't imagine her wielding a knife to kill people.
Or rather, if Tong Jiaojiao hadn't pushed her to the brink, she probably wouldn't have done something so extreme.
On the contrary, Tong Jiaojiao was frivolous and somewhat willful and difficult, and he disliked her from the first moment he saw her.
“She, she, she did something shameful, and when I told her, she got angry and ashamed when she realized she had been exposed. She took a knife and tried to kill me to silence me.”
Tong Jiaojiao would never admit that it was because she was jealous of Lin Qingyan that she provoked Lin Qingyan first.
Wang Qiang was still completely confused. "Tong Zhiqing, how about this, let's go to the courtyard and call out Lin Zhiqing and the other educated youths present to find out what exactly happened."
They went to the courtyard together. Chen Lu had been cooking in the kitchen, but after hearing the noise, she went to the female educated youth dormitory.
Wang Qiang called all the female educated youths out, and Lin Qingyan came out holding a knife.
Even Wang Qiang, a grown man, was frightened. After all, knives and guns have no eyes. He subconsciously took a step back and said to Lin Qingyan, "Lin Qingyan, where did you get this knife? Could you put it away first?"
Lin Qingyan said, "This is what I brought from home. It's my weapon for self-defense. Wang Zhiqing, I'm not as strong as you, and I can't protect myself with my bare hands. I'm not even as strong as an average woman. I can't put this knife down; I need to use it to protect myself. But you don't need to be afraid. I just want to protect myself from harm. You won't hurt me, and I won't use it to hurt you either."
She spoke calmly and persuasively, which reassured Wang Qiang, and he was no longer afraid.
Chen Lu glared at Tong Jiaojiao secretly, guessing that Tong Jiaojiao had started the trouble first.
Wang Qiang asked, "Lin, why did you have a conflict with Tong?"
"Because she has a foul mouth, she first fabricated foul language to insult me, trying to ruin my reputation."
“I didn’t make this up; that’s what you did.”
"You still have a foul mouth?" Lin Qingyan brandished the knife in her hand at her: "You bitch, I'm not afraid of you. Anyway, I'm a sickly person, I wouldn't be at a loss if I traded my life for yours."
Lin Qingyan's reckless behavior startled Tong Jiaojiao, who shrank her neck in fear.
Wang Qiang then asked, "Tong Zhiqing, tell me, what exactly did Lin Zhiqing do? Be specific."
"She, she." Tong Jiaojiao hesitated, after all, she had no evidence of those things.
"What exactly happened?"
"Lin Qingyan, she... she seduced Yi Zhiqing, making him do her work; they had an improper relationship."
“She didn’t seduce me; I helped her with the work voluntarily,” Yi Zhiheng suddenly said.
He had always been taciturn, but when he suddenly spoke, he instantly attracted everyone's attention.
When others looked at him, he seemed very uncomfortable and quickly lowered his head.
Tong Jiaojiao was not discouraged: "You said Lin Qingyan didn't seduce you, so why did you help her with the work?"
