Rude frowned, sensing that something was amiss.
Zuan then spoke up again: "Even if it really is a gambling debt I owe, where is the IOU? Show everyone the IOU."
Mei Hua Thirteen got anxious: "I've returned the IOU to you."
Zu An raised both hands: "Director, in order to clear my name, please search me and see if I have that fabricated IOU."
"You just tore up the IOU!" Mei Hua Thirteen finally understood why the other party had done that earlier; it turned out that he had planned to trick him back then.
Zuan replied, "Even if it's torn up, there will still be some scraps of paper left at the scene, right?"
"You just ground him into dust, and the wind has already blown him away," Mei Hua Thirteen hurriedly said.
Zu An sighed: "Can't you come up with a more plausible excuse? Everyone in Mingyue City knows I'm a notorious good-for-nothing. If I had the ability to grind an IOU down to nothing in a short time, would I still be in the Yellow Class?"
“But it really is him…” Mei Hua Thirteen felt a chill run down her spine and hurriedly tried to explain to Ru De.
"Enough!" Rude said with a gloomy face. "Your Plum Blossom Gang has always been a bunch of troublemakers, but it's not our business if you come here to bully our students! Today we'll break both your legs. Go back and tell Mei Chaofeng that if any fools come here again, I won't show any mercy."
After saying that, he flicked his sleeve, and the ruler seemed to have eyes, suddenly appearing at the back of Plum Blossom Thirteen's legs. He struck her twice, and Plum Blossom Thirteen's tall figure collapsed with a thud, clutching her legs and screaming in pain.
Zuan noticed that Mei Hua Thirteen's legs were twisted like a pretzel, indicating at least a comminuted fracture. He couldn't help but gasp. He heard Wei Suo talk about how painful it was for the students to be beaten with Rude's ruler, but compared to Mei Hua Thirteen's ordeal, they were clearly being treated leniently.
What surprised him even more was that the other party did not hold the ruler in his hand when he used it. Instead, it flew to Mei Hua Thirteen's leg automatically, just like the God-Slaying Whip that Jiang Ziya used to wield in the TV series "Investiture of the Gods". After striking her, it flew back.
"This thing is a magical artifact," Zu An thought to himself, hoping it would never fall into his hands, or he wouldn't even know how he died.
Anger value from Plum Blossom Thirteen +567!
On the ground, Mei Hua Thirteen, groaning in pain, stared at Zu An with a venomous expression. That's human nature; he dared not blame Rude, who was far stronger than him, but he could arbitrarily vent all his anger on those weaker than him.
He planned that once he recovered from his injuries, he would break all four of this guy's limbs—no, all five—and then slice him to pieces and throw him into the Jackal Valley!
Rude tossed the Yuan Stone in his hand to Zuan and said in a deep voice, "Keep it safe. You're too weak. You should know better than anyone the importance of not flaunting your wealth."
Zu'an nodded hurriedly, saying, "The director is right, the director is right. But this guy just stole all the silver I had on me, so I hope the director can help me... hehehe..."
Rude frowned, thinking that this guy was making a lot of trouble. However, since the other party was a student at the school, he snorted and waved his hand towards Mei Hua Shisan's arms. The other party's money bag flew into his hand.
"How much money did he rob you of?" Rud asked.
Zu An took the silver bag: "He stole all of these. Thank you, Director. Thank you, Director."
Rude frowned. He wasn't without suspicion, but considering that Mei Hua Thirteen had a history of committing crimes, and that the money wasn't exactly clean to begin with, he decided to ignore it and simply tossed the money bag over.
Mei Hua Thirteen, standing to the side, was so angry she almost vomited blood: "That silver is mine! You just gave me a little over a hundred taels of silver, and the remaining eight hundred taels are all my hard-earned savings over the years!"
He never expected this person to be so shameless, not only framing him for stealing spirit stones, but now even trying to steal the money he already had? He never trusted anyone, only himself, so he always carried his belongings with him, only to find that all his hard work over the years had benefited someone else!
Anger value from Plum Blossom Thirteen +1000!
"You're saying this is your money?" Zu'an waved the money bag in front of him after hearing his words. "Then call them and see if they answer."
Mei Hua Thirteen could no longer hold back. Overwhelmed with anger, she felt a sweet taste in her throat and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Damn it, who's the villain here?
Anger value from Plum Blossom Thirteen +1000!
Rude glanced at him indifferently, too lazy to care about what was going on, and waved to the onlookers: "Everyone, disperse, go home."
Zuan also waved goodbye to Mei Hua Thirteen, and then left with Chu Huanzhao and the others.
"You, surnamed Zu, just you wait! Our Plum Blossom Gang will never let you get away with this!" came the mournful curses of Plum Blossom Thirteen from behind!
Anger value from Plum Blossom Thirteen +1000!
Zu An frowned. The Plum Blossom Gang had tried to deal with him time and time again, so it seemed he had to find a way to get rid of them. After all, there's no such thing as being a thief for a thousand days and guarding against thieves for a thousand days.
After walking a distance, Cheng Shouping could no longer contain himself and ran over with a fawning expression: "Young master, young master, my admiration for you is like a surging river, never-ending..."
"What are you talking about?" Zu An pressed his face and pushed him away, while taking out a silver ingot from Mei Hua Shisan's money pouch and giving it to him, "This is a reward for you, you were quite perceptive just now."
"Thank you so much, son-in-law~" Cheng Shouping touched the silver ingot in his hand with great affection, his chrysanthemums almost bursting into laughter.
