"You just wait!" Jiang Yu pointed at Li Xin, then turned to comfort Zhao Jiajia.
It wasn't that Li Xin wasn't afraid of Jiang Yu, but rather that Xu Tingchuan's calm demeanor made her feel that he wasn't faking it; he was genuinely composed, which gave her a strange sense of security.
She couldn't help but glance at Xu Tingchuan a few more times, noticing that his hand was always holding Ni Sitian's. Even if Xu Tingchuan wasn't as rich as Jiang Yu, his aura and his tender care for Ni Sitian were far superior to that of Jiang Yu, a nouveau riche. Moreover, he possessed an air of nobility accumulated over generations, something that couldn't be cultivated through just one or two generations of wealth.
Ni Sitian looked up and met Li Xin's gaze as she looked at Xu Tingchuan. There was a hint of longing and admiration in her eyes, but it wasn't exactly blatant.
When Li Xin saw that Ni Sitian had noticed her, she smiled calmly. She would never have any extra thoughts about other men.
Ni Sitian smiled faintly at her. When they were roommates before, she thought Li Xin was arrogant, difficult to get along with, and spoke harshly, while Zhao Jiajia was gentle and quiet, always speaking softly and treating people very well.
In reality, she simply didn't see clearly that Li Xin was straightforward and couldn't hide anything. For example, when she first found out that Li Xin was going to be recommended for postgraduate studies, she immediately confronted her and scolded her. Although it was impulsive and seemed aggressive, it was actually better than those who secretly played dirty tricks.
Zhao Jiajia is the kind of person who appears gentle and harmless on the surface, but has a completely different face behind the scenes.
Ni Sitian felt that this was the most important lesson she learned on campus: you can't judge a person by their appearance alone.
"Are you tired?" Xu Ting asked Ni Sitian in a low voice.
Ni Sitian shook her head slightly, about to speak, when the door to the private room was suddenly opened with a bang.
Everyone's eyes were drawn to the entrance, where two rows of uniformed police officers filed in, making quite a spectacle.
A man with a beer belly swaggered in, saying, "Police inspection, everyone stand with your backs against the wall and hands up."
No one expected this turn of events, as they were all recent graduates. They were quite taken aback and obediently followed the instructions.
Jiang Yu raised his chin smugly, walked to Zhang Peng's side, and smiled ingratiatingly: "Uncle, you've finally arrived. I was almost beaten to death."
"Who would dare to be so reckless as to hit you like that!" Zhang Peng glanced at his crotch, then slapped him on the back of the head: "You're such a coward! Who in Yihai City would dare to touch you? What are you afraid of!"
"Uncle, he's holding a beer bottle to my head, this is attempted murder!" With someone backing him up, Jiang Yu straightened his back.
"Who is so audacious? Are they all of them?" Zhang Peng had already planned it when he came: to use the pretext of a routine inspection to frame someone for drug possession and arrest them and detain them.
Jiang Yu had no intention of arresting such a large group. He pointed directly to Xu Tingchuan and Ni Sitian, who were still sitting in the corner, partially obscured by others, and said, "It's them!"
"Let me see which bastard is so blind!" Zhang Peng walked over and pushed aside the male classmate who was still standing there.
When he saw Xu Tingchuan, he was so shocked that his mouth dropped open and he froze.
Jiang Yu, eager to see Xu Tingchuan make a fool of himself, walked over and said angrily, "He's the one who tried to kill me, Uncle, you have to get him..."
"You bastard!" Zhang Peng slapped Jiang Yu hard on the head, cold sweat pouring down his forehead. He walked over and grinned at Xu Tingchuan with a fawning smile: "Mr. Xu, I didn't expect to see you here."
