The four of them had only walked a few hundred meters out of the school gate. If He Xiao ran fast enough, he might be able to bring the security guards to drive away this group of troublemakers.
But that would be too costly. Gu Yi'an might not be able to protect her and Su Xiao, and the two of them don't have much fighting power.
So threatening Uncle Hat is enough.
Upon hearing her words, the thin-faced man's face contorted in horror: "You fucking want to die!"
Enraged, he raised his hand to attack Shen Linyue, but He Xiao stepped in front of the girl, grabbed his raised fist, and swiftly retaliated with his other hand, slamming it into the thin-faced man's face with a loud "bang."
The other person's face was twisted from being beaten by He Xiao, and he staggered back several steps, almost falling to the ground. He was only able to regain his balance after being supported by a group of his underlings behind him.
"I told you to stay away from her." He Xiao's cold gaze fell on the thin-faced man's face.
"He Xiao, you've got guts!" The thin-faced man was furious, but when he met He Xiao's ghostly gaze, he felt inexplicably uneasy.
"Boss, let's beat him up!"
"Damn, they really don't take us seriously, do they?"
"Damn it, you've got some nerve! How dare you hit our boss."
The skinny man's henchmen were eager to avenge him, but the skinny man was intimidated by He Xiao's gaze and couldn't help but glance at the back of their group.
Shen Linyue frowned slightly as she looked at He Xiao's clenched fist. Su Xiao, who was beside her, was also frightened by the scene and clung tightly to her.
“I’ve already called the police. The police station is less than a kilometer ahead. Guess how many minutes it will take them to get here?” Shen Linyue peeked out from behind He Xiao.
The previously restless crowd fell silent for a moment, and everyone in the front row began to consider leaving.
They're here to cause trouble, they don't want to end up in the police station for a chat. Not only will they get a scolding, but their parents will also be notified, and that won't be as simple as just getting a beating.
"Boss, this woman doesn't seem to be lying. Should we continue?"
The thin-faced man hesitated for a moment, then glanced quickly at the others behind him. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw them shaking their heads.
But he was still unconvinced and threatened He Xiao, "You won't be so lucky next time! He Xiao, you just wait!"
He Xiao clenched his fist, pretending to give him another punch. The thin-faced man's face was still throbbing. He reflexively took a step back, then realized he might have been too cowardly. Before leaving, he glared at him fiercely.
He Xiao shook his hand and said disdainfully, "Coward."
Whether the thin-faced man heard it or not, he ran even faster, and the group disappeared into the alleyway in just over ten seconds.
"Sister Yue, you're amazing! You got rid of that person with just a few words. You actually called the police?" Gu Yi'an looked at her with shining eyes, full of admiration.
Su Xiao looked at her with the same admiration, quite proud: "Yueyue is the most amazing in the whole world!"
Although she was still feeling extremely flustered, she couldn't help but admire Lin Yue's bravery.
Shen Linyue turned her head and smiled at Su Xiao, then said to Gu Yi'an, "I didn't mean to scare them, but I'm going to the police station to file a report later."
“I recorded all the threatening things they said. Oh, and the surveillance footage too. Let’s go check it out.” She pointed to the surveillance camera diagonally in front of them.
Only then did she turn to He Xiao and ask, "Does your hand hurt? Don't be so impulsive next time."
She looked at the faint redness on the back of her hand, and her delicate eyebrows furrowed.
He Xiao listened quietly to her speak, and felt a warm breath coming from the back of his hand. He looked down and saw Shen Linyue breathing on his hand.
He Xiao: ...
These skillful baby-soothing techniques seem familiar, but I can't quite place where I've experienced the same thing before.
He withdrew his hand and put it behind his back, saying calmly, "Calling the police is too much trouble. A bunch of small fry. If you weren't here, I wouldn't even bother listening to his nonsense. A few punches would have been enough to subdue them."
Gu Yi'an chimed in from the side, "Yeah, our boss is amazing. He can take action and solve problems without talking. He's been unbeatable for so many years."
He gave He Xiao a thumbs up, raising his chin with an air of pride.
Shen Linyue glanced at the two close friends, her eyes showing little emotion, and said, "This time is different. The people following them are unusual; they don't seem to be students."
"Ah Xiao, can you listen to me just this once?"
Thinking about the incident involving He Xiao's fight outside of school that hadn't happened yet, Shen Linyue felt that it was probably related to these people.
But even if it's not them, we still need to take precautions.
He Xiao was taken aback, seeing the worry in her eyes clearly. He pursed his lips for a long time before reluctantly looking away: "Whatever you want."
"Wow, Sister Yue, you noticed too? I also felt something was off. I haven't seen these people in Gonggang. We have to call the police!" Gu Yi'an said.
He Xiao also knew that this revenge by the group in Gonggang was somewhat unusual, and he frowned, seemingly lost in thought.
Inside the luxury car not far from the group of four, the boy saw everything that had just happened through the crack in the car window.
A scene suddenly flashed into his mind. They weren't speaking loudly, and he only caught a few words. The only thing he was clear about was that his mother seemed to want to harm He Xiao...
"Young master, has your classmate come out yet?" the driver asked cautiously.
Jiang Zhixing's thoughts were interrupted. He frowned slightly but then regained his usual cool demeanor. "I'm not waiting anymore. Let's go back."
"yes."
...
The four of them went to the police station to report the case. After listening to their account, the officers in the hats took the matter seriously and said they would increase the number of officers patrolling the area around Taipei City.
As for the thin-faced man and his group, they went with the men in hats to check the surveillance footage, which clearly captured the group.
Although we won't do anything to them, calling them in for a talk and a warning will suffice as a warning.
As I left the police station, the sun was just beginning to set, and it was getting dark all around.
The car sent by the He family to pick them up was always outside the courtyard, but He Liyu did not come to pick them up this time, so the car was full of four people.
The driver dropped off Su Xiao and Gu Yi'an first before heading to the He family's house.
The two remained silent throughout the journey until the car slowly came to a stop in front of the He family villa, at which point Shen Linyue spoke to He Xiao beside her.
"Next time you encounter something like this, run away if you can. Don't act impulsively, understand, Ah Xiao?"
He Xiao paused as he got out of the car, glanced at her, and then said impatiently, "Yeah, I know."
He was also verbally warned by the men in hats at the police station just now.
Hearing Shen Linyue say this again now, he felt a little irritated, but he still obeyed.
Shen Linyue nodded, a smile appearing on her face: "Let's go for a seafood buffet this weekend."
He Xiao's eyes flickered slightly. He glanced at her and a smile played on his lips: "I understand. Whatever you say."
After saying this, He Xiao left. Shen Linyue also got out of the car, but didn't leave immediately. She showed the photos from last time to Uncle Liu.
"Uncle Liu, does this photo look familiar to you?"
