Chapter 23 Go ahead and rob me outright!
"Brother Yuan, why aren't you going? You seem a little afraid of girls."
"Oh my god, just go when I tell you to, what's with all the fuss! How am I supposed to settle scores with him when class starts? Am I supposed to hold it in for another whole class?!"
Gu Yuanyuan raised her foot and kicked her underling away.
Whom are you going to hold accountable?
The head of the teaching department stood behind Gu Yuanyuan with a dark expression and his hands behind his back.
Gu Yuanyuan froze for a moment, then quickly made way for the dean of students, saying, "I didn't look for anyone, you must have misheard."
The head of student affairs glanced at Gu Yuanyuan and shouted at the people in the corridor, "Don't you have enough homework? Gathering here with nothing better to do? Huh?! All of you, get back to your classrooms!"
As soon as the powerful reprimand ended, the students in the corridor lowered their heads and hurriedly dispersed.
Gu Yuanyuan gritted his teeth in anger, but he disliked crowds, especially being crowded by girls.
So, standing at the top of the stairs, he didn't wait for the head of student affairs to finish speaking before he went downstairs. He went down very quickly and disappeared in a short while.
So much so that his younger brother was squeezed in the crowd and couldn't find him.
Mu Guangcheng was still standing in the corridor because the next class was math class.
When the math teacher came to class, he greeted the headmaster and then glared at Mu Guangcheng, saying, "I didn't expect you to be so popular."
Mu Guangcheng put his hands in his school uniform pockets and smiled. "Not bad."
"Go inside and attend class."
The math book hit Mu Guangcheng on the head, knocking him inside.
Shi Nianzhi sat in the first row, below the podium, right under the teacher's nose. Any small movement he made would be clearly seen by the teacher on the podium.
Shi Nianzhi felt even more pressure.
Especially since the top student in the grade was sitting next to him.
A near-perfect score in every subject – an abnormal existence.
A true academic genius.
Shi Nianzhi couldn't help but admire him, admire him from the bottom of his heart. He quietly observed Su Hengyi.
The first impression is that he is very aloof, with thin lips pursed, and his whole body exudes a sense of detachment that keeps people at a distance.
The items on his desk were arranged neatly, and he wore his school uniform meticulously, with his jacket zipped all the way up. His hand holding the pen had distinct knuckles; he rarely took notes, but he would listen attentively with his pen in hand when the teacher was lecturing.
Shi Nianzhi looked at himself again. He had just moved here and the table was a mess.
He couldn't help but bend down and tidy up, because he wasn't a sloppy person; he liked to tidy up and was quite clean.
After tidying up, Shi Nianzhi picked up her notebook and began taking notes.
Line by line, the paper was soon filled with dense writing, and even when my hand ached, I dared not stop.
On the first morning I sat with the academic genius, we didn't exchange a single word; clearly, the academic genius wasn't a talkative person.
At lunchtime, the top student got up and left.
Mu Guangcheng came over from the last row and sat in the seat of the academic genius.
Someone tapped him on the shoulder from the back door, saying, "You're sitting in the top spot again. Be careful he comes back and kills you with his eyes."
“He went to eat, so I just sat for a while. How would he know I was sitting in his chair when he comes back?”
Mu Guangcheng turned around again and pointed at the male classmate who had spoken, "If you hadn't told on him, how would he have known, huh?"
"If you don't hurry up and go to the cafeteria, there won't be any food left."
“Nianzhi definitely brought lunch. It’s okay if we arrive a little late; there’s no shortage of food.”
Shi Nianzhi smiled somewhat embarrassedly, "I was in a hurry to leave today and didn't bring it."
Mu Guangcheng jumped up. "Then why aren't you up yet? Don't you want to eat?"
"I'm fine. I'm not very hungry, and there were still dishes even though I went late."
Shi Nianzhi is not a picky eater; as long as he has some vegetables, he can eat his rice.
Gu Yuanyuan appeared at the door at this moment, and Shi Nianzhi immediately grabbed Mu Guangcheng's sleeve.
Mu Guangcheng guessed what was going on just by looking at him. He pushed his hand away and said, "What are you afraid of? This is a school. What else would he dare to do to you? Follow me and let's go meet him."
Mu Guangcheng led Shi Nianzhi to the door.
Gu Yuanyuan cracked her knuckles. "Mu Guangcheng, we've kept to ourselves, are you sure you want to go against me for the sake of a transfer student like this?"
Mu Guangcheng braced his hand on the door frame, took a step forward, and approached Gu Yuanyuan. "I've got Shi Nianzhi under my protection. If you touch him, you're going against me."
Gu Yuanyuan smiled disdainfully, her eyes radiating arrogance. "How much did he pay you? I'll give you double. Hand him over to me."
Shi Nianzhi gripped the hem of his clothes tightly, nervous about the care he had received from Mu Guangcheng, which he had bought with money.
It's still an extremely cheap price.
Gu Yuanyuan is much better off than Shi Nianzhi.
Mu Guangcheng's thin lips curled up, and he remained silent for the moment, a hint of frivolity in his eyes.
Gu Yuanyuan reached into his school uniform pocket and pulled out 500 yuan in cash and a card. He put the card back and handed the 500 yuan to Mu Guangcheng.
"Is that enough?"
"Take the money back."
"Is it not enough? How much do you want? Hand over Shi Nianzhi, and I'll have someone fetch it and bring it to you in a bit."
"If you won't pay, then try robbing me outright."
Gu Yuanyuan sneered, grabbed Mu Guangcheng by the collar, and pulled him forward forcefully. "I think you're tired of living and want to die. Your people have all gone to eat, haven't they? I've been wanting to beat you up for a long time."
Gu Yuanyuan punched Mu Guangcheng in the face.
Mu Guangcheng said in a deep voice, "Shi Nianzhi! Go out through the back door and call for the director."
Shi Nianzhi stepped forward and grabbed Gu Yuanyuan's wrist, saying, "I can't leave you here alone to get beaten."
Mu Guangcheng pushed Gu Yuanyuan away with great force. Gu Yuanyuan was about to fall against the railing and hit his head when his underling caught him quickly.
Mu Guangcheng shoved Shi Nianzhi outwards and kicked him hard. "Go and call the director. If you run fast, I'll get beaten less."
Shi Nianzhi was kicked and ran forward two steps faster. As he ran, he looked back at Mu Guangcheng gratefully, then ran around the corner like the wind and disappeared.
Gu Yuanyuan was the first to pounce on Mu Guangcheng, yelling, "Beat him hard!"
Mu Guangcheng was surrounded and beaten by five people. He squatted down against the wall, covering his head, and didn't utter a sound as fists and feet rained down on him.
The head of the teaching department is quite old and runs slowly.
Shi Nianzhi pushed him upstairs from behind, pushing his waist. "Hurry up, hurry up! Someone's going to die."
The dean of students appeared on the seventh floor, panting. By the time he arrived, Gu Yuanyuan and her group had already run away. Mu Guangcheng stood in the corridor, basking in the sun with his injuries, seemingly unconcerned, even whistling.
The head of discipline came over, furious. "Mu Guangcheng, you've been fighting again!"
Mu Guangcheng shrugged. "Director, I really didn't lay a hand on him. I'm a model student who follows the rules. It was Gu Yuanyuan who led people to beat me up in order to get revenge. If you don't believe me, check the surveillance footage."
Mu Guangcheng pointed to the surveillance camera in the corridor that was directly facing this area.
Gu Yuanyuan and a group of people ran downstairs, then he suddenly stopped.
Someone asked him, "What's wrong, Brother Yuan?"
Gu Yuanyuan's face darkened as she finally realized what was happening. "It's over. We've been tricked by Mu Guangcheng."
