Chapter 272 The Pressure
"Try it."
The boy with messy hair used adhesive tape to fix the broken legs of the glasses and returned them to their owner.
The seemingly gentle boy put his glasses back on, and although he was a little reluctant, he nodded at the person in front of him and said, "...Okay, no problem."
"You didn't fight back after being beaten. What a coward."
After seeing that he was fine, the boy turned around and was about to leave, but the gentle boy called him: "Thank you for helping me today... My name is Qi Su, may I ask your name?"
But he didn't look back, and his figure didn't even pause for the slightest as he quickly disappeared around the corner of the school corridor. Qi Su stared blankly at his disappearing back and wanted to catch up but couldn't move because he was still in some pain.
A coward? But what should I do in this situation?
Qi Su thought so, but he didn't expect that soon, this person gave him the answer again.
One day after school, Qi Su was studying in the library when he suddenly heard a commotion coming from the back door of the library.
He tiptoed over and took a look through the crack in the door. It was a narrow passage where few people usually went. A fight that made Qi Su feel terrified was taking place here.
Four or five boys in the same senior year as himself were holding down a thin boy, and their fists were raining down on the boy's body. Qi Su quickly recognized that the boy who was curled up on the ground holding his head was the one who had saved him before.
"You're the only one who can fucking fight, right?! Get up and fight!?"
The burly boy kicked the boy hard while cursing.
"You're so arrogant even in your freshman year, you're not afraid of anyone, right?! Today I'm going to teach you what it means to respect your seniors!"
Qi Su looked at this scene and felt very timid. He thought he should go find the teacher, but he had a very strange idea in his heart. He wanted to see what would happen to the boy in the end. Would he beg for mercy?
Looking at him curled up on the ground, Qi Su sighed inwardly: I clearly have no idea how to deal with this kind of thing, yet you still call me a coward.
For a moment, he felt a sense of balance because the boy did not dare to resist and was as cowardly as himself.
But things took a turn for the better at this moment. As if they were tired of fighting, the other guys stood aside against the wall, panting. Only the fattest guy was still cursing, but his fat body was obviously too tired. He could only squat down, slapping the boy's head with his hands while cursing.
"Hey, I heard you like that girl named Gu from Class 3? You're really a toad wanting to eat swan meat. Come, let me film you so your goddess can see if you look like a dog now."
The fat man took out his cell phone and slowly moved closer to the boy's face.
At this moment, Qi Su saw a scene that he would never forget. The boy who had been curled up on the ground and had not fought back at all took advantage of the moment when the fat boy squatted down to suddenly grab his neck, and then hit him hard in the face with his forehead.
Puff——
Nosebleed instantly splattered from the fat man's face. Before the others could react, the fat man was already ridden by the boy. He took the phone from the fat man's hand and then hit the fat man's face hard again and again.
Because he happened to be facing Qi Su, Qi Su could clearly see the cold expression on the boy's face when he was doing these things. There was no anger, no loss of control, and he was as calm as a machine.
"Stop the fucking thing!!"
The other few people finally reacted and saw that the fat man's face was covered in blood after being hit by the teenager with a mobile phone. They were very scared, but because there were many of them, they still planned to forcibly pull him up from the fat man.
At this moment, the young man punched the man who had just squatted down and was about to pull him up on the neck.
The man who was hit by the punch suddenly felt difficulty breathing. He knelt on the ground, holding his neck with his face turned blue. The other two people successfully pulled him away. Just when one of them was about to continue punching and kicking the boy, he was suddenly hit hard on the back of his head by a heavy object.
Qi Su stood behind him trembling, holding a thick leather book in his hand.
The man who was hit by the book turned his head and stared at Qi Su, but before he could make a move, a pair of thin hands had already wrapped around his neck from behind, and then with a terrifying brute force, he threw the man who was much taller than him to the ground.
The last person left was dumbfounded after seeing all this. Before he could react, the young man knocked him to the ground in no time.
Qi Su suddenly felt excited. He shouted and rushed forward with the book in hand to finish off the enemy, but the young man grabbed his collar and dragged him away from the scene.
"I take that back."
On the top floor of the school, the messy-haired boy finally collapsed on the ground due to exhaustion. He spoke to Qi Su in a slightly calmer tone: "You're not such a coward. Thank you today, but don't let them see your face next time."
"...Do you often fight with others?"
After the adrenaline faded, Qi Su was now huddled in the corner, shivering. He looked at the boy timidly and asked, "Aren't you... afraid?"
"Afraid."
The young man lay on the ground and replied calmly, "It's because I'm afraid that I'm not afraid of anyone. They're all students and don't know how to control their strength. If you back down, they'll only advance further. Only if you hit them where it hurts will they learn to be afraid."
"That's a wrong idea. The correct approach is to tell the teacher and the parents."
Qi Su adjusted his glasses and retorted.
"ha."
The young man laughed and said, "He's not a coward, but he's an idiot."
"...Rude and barbaric."
After a moment of silence, the boy slowly stood up, stretched his muscles and walked towards the exit on the roof.
"You're not leaving?"
When he walked to the door, he turned around and looked at Qi Su who was still trembling and asked.
Qi Su gave a helpless smile, pointed to his legs and said, "I, I'll sit for a while, my legs are still shaking."
So the boy opened the door, but before he left, he left a message: "Li Muhan, my name."
......
"Li Muhan."
Qi Su slowly raised his head, looked at the man staring at him, and said with a sneer on his face: "So many years have passed, and I have learned everything you taught me. Why are you being put on a leash?"
Li Muhan suddenly grabbed Qi Su's collar and pulled him up, but because Qi Su's hands were bound by the judge's chair, the pain of pulling made this gentle man frown.
"I don't have time to mess around with you, Qi Su. Tell me what you did, so I can find a way to save you."
"What did I do? I went from being a loser who was bullied by everyone to a company boss respected by everyone. Isn't that what you taught me?!"
Qi Su stared at Li Muhan's eyes intently, and he even tried to find a hint of recognition in Li Muhan's pupils.
But unfortunately, Li Muhan's eyes no longer have the fierce and cowardly look they had back then...
"I'm not as good at fighting as you, but that doesn't mean I'm not as ruthless as you. Li Muhan, you're right. Everyone likes to bully the weak. This is a world where the strong are respected. I became strong in my own way, and you, look at yourself now, you're like a piece of trash!"
Before Li Muchan could say anything, the girl next to him raised her foot and kicked the interrogation chair over, pressing Qi Su under the table.
"No...what are you doing?"
Li Muhan turned his head and looked at Xia Yue blankly.
"He scolded you."
Xia Yue responded coldly: "And it seems like you're about to take action too."
"That's called pressure! This kind of interrogation is all about pressure! Haven't you seen the movie..."
"...I've never seen a movie like this."
Li Muhan covered his face and sighed helplessly. Xia Yue watched some romantic idol dramas all day long. Really, he must warn Chi Yuan not to recommend such movies and TV series to her anymore.
