Xu Zhe's face flushed crimson, spreading down her neck, her eyes bloodshot with rage, wishing she could kill Si Xingzhu immediately. But she knew she couldn't defeat him, so she could only stab him with her eyes.
Su Nan and Bei Xiaoyu were laughing and giggling on the side, which sounded particularly lewd to her.
Xu Zhe was puzzled. How come he hadn't noticed how sleazy the two women were before? If he had noticed earlier, who would have been friends with them!
She angrily took out her phone, deliberately letting Si Xingzhu see the screen, and opened the contacts.
Si Xingzhu asked, "Who do you want to call?"
Xu Zhe looked up: "I'll call Xu Zhengxi for you. Aren't you curious? Just ask him what position he used!"
Si Xingzhu panicked, her face contorted in shock: "No, no, no!"
He quickly covered Xu Zhe's phone as he spoke.
"I was wrong, please spare my life, I don't want to die!"
"Zhe~ My respected young mistress, I will never dare to joke again, I will be completely honest! Please let me go!"
She didn't want to be punished. She wasn't afraid of the pain of fighting and practicing martial arts; it was a warrior's training.
But to make her be whipped and punished in public, like Si Kangzhu being beaten half to death in the courtyard, would be a humiliation!
A scholar can be killed but not humiliated; she was willing to die!
Xu Zhe's lips twitched a few times. Si Xingzhu's amazing brain, she even called him "Young Mistress" without feeling embarrassed!
Su Nan and Bei Xiaoyu shook their heads, unable to understand what Si Xingzhu was afraid of. In this day and age, if you haven't broken the law, why would you resort to vigilante justice?
"Why are you such a coward?" Su Nan had become familiar with Si Xingzhu and said whatever came to mind.
"I'm not being cowardly, I'm a hero who can bend and stretch, and I won't suffer a loss right now!" Si Xingzhu tried to justify himself.
Bei Xiaoyu's round glasses flashed: "Does the Xu family still play those tricks from TV dramas, resorting to family discipline?"
Writers are naturally very curious. If real-life wealthy families still retain these traits, then the wealthy families in her stories should definitely have them too!
Si Xingzhu snorted twice and described to the two naive people the miserable experience of being taught a lesson by the snake bone whip by Si Kangzhu.
He felt humiliated by being punished in public, but Si Kangzhu didn't seem to care about saving face at all...
Su Nan and Bei Xiaoyu were both stunned for a long time after hearing this. But their thoughts were quite different.
Bei Xiaoyu is wondering whether she should start a novel about a domineering CEO who has connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles.
Su Nan thought that the Pei family had strict rules and such strong enforcement methods.
She thought of Pei Yun, wondering what kind of punishment she would receive if she chose a relationship that violated family rules...
Bei Xiaoyu snapped out of her daze first and bowed to Xu Zhe with a serious expression: "I was disrespectful before. You usually seem quite timid, but I didn't expect your family to be so powerful!"
Xu Zhe: "..."
Su Nan chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, he's usually pretty timid, but even timid people will hit someone when they get angry!"
Xu Zhe sighed. It turned out that in their eyes, she was truly a coward; she had thought she was putting on a good act...
Su Nan: "By the way, what will happen next? What's that girl's name?"
Xu Zhe shook his head: "I don't know how to handle this, and I don't even know her name."
Su Nan: "......"
"You've had intimate contact with that person's face three times, and you even went to the police station together to be questioned by the police, and you still don't know their name?!"
"Xu Zhe, your behavior is just like that of a heartless scumbag!"
Xu Zhe was speechless. How could this be related to a scumbag? Had Su Nan's brain been infected by Si Xingzhu?
“She doesn’t deserve a name in my eyes,” Xu Zhe said coldly.
Su Nan: "......" Is she showing off?
Bei Xiaoyu: She actually fell for it...
Si Xingzhu: "So annoying! You managed to put on a show!"
The school's disciplinary action was swiftly taken: the girl and Yao Zhiyuan were both given demerits and required to publicly clarify and apologize in class.
Yao Zhiyuan fared even worse; not only was he removed from his position as class monitor, but he was also disqualified from being among the first batch of candidates recommended for Party membership—a recommendation he had worked tirelessly to obtain since entering university.
To make matters worse, his eligibility to apply for scholarships next year was revoked. However, he was still eligible for the financial aid scholarship, as it is a source of living expenses for students from economically disadvantaged families.
Xu Zhengxi's lawyer also went to the school to collect evidence and spoke with Yao Zhiyuan, informing him that his client would reserve all rights to pursue legal action.
Yao Zhiyuan changed completely in just a few days, becoming listless, gloomy, and decadent. He stopped talking to anyone, especially his trusted confidants who used to be by his side.
If that idiot hadn't been so easily questioned and readily confessed, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation!
And Xu Zhe and that old man are simply ruthless and wicked! He only revealed their shameful deeds, yet they relentlessly drove him to his death!
If he really goes too far, he'll have nothing to lose and nobody will have a good life!
Yao Zhiyuan lay slumped over the last desk in the classroom, not paying any attention to what the professor was rambling on. His future, which had once been bright and limitless, was now shrouded in gloom.
When the bell rang, the professor left the classroom first, and the students gradually packed up their things to leave.
"Don't leave!" A loud, authoritative female voice resounded in the classroom, penetrating and powerful.
The students fell silent instantly, all looking at the girl standing on the podium.
Tall and dressed in assassin's attire, his brows exuded a commanding presence, and his sharp, hawk-like eyes scanned the classroom.
Everyone was initially amazed by her outfit, but quickly switched into excited gossip mode.
Except for Xu Zhe.
She desperately tried to signal the female assassin on the stage to disappear, but the assassin didn't even glance at her.
Si Xingzhu, with her sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, swept her gaze over the crowd: "Who insulted my Xu Zhe?!"
The students' heads and eyes darted towards the girl sitting alone by the window in the second-to-last row of the classroom.
Si Xingzhu followed the gaze and sneered, "It's you?!"
The classroom was so quiet it was practically empty. The students, eager to watch the drama unfold, held their breath, waiting for a good show to begin!
Xu Zhe hid behind Yu Tiantian, his suicidal thoughts growing stronger!
"Besides that woman and Yao Zhiyuan, everyone else can leave." Si Xingzhu gestured with her left arm toward the classroom door, directing the students to leave.
Xu Zhe: "......" Are you addicted to acting? Do you really think you're a fearsome female assassin? Why should anyone listen to you?!
While she was criticizing Si Xingzhu, the students were already lining up to leave the classroom.
Xu Zhe's eyes widened like saucers. Had Si Xingzhu cast a spell on them? Why were they all so obedient?!
"Are you coming or not?" Yu Tiantian nudged her.
"Huh? Are you leaving?!" Didn't I come here to stand up for her? Even as the person involved, you're leaving?
"Didn't she say that only the man and the woman could stay?" Yu Tiantian urged her as she packed her bag, "Let's go!"
Xu Zhe remained seated, saying, "But..."
"Let's go!" Yu Tiantian pulled her out.
After all the bystanders left, Si Xingzhu curled one corner of his mouth and walked towards the girl.
As she walked, she pulled out a shiny black leather whip from behind her, flicked it into the air, and the whip made a terrifying cracking sound.
