Ning Zhao, who was being trampled on the ground by Young Master Ge, was about to struggle to her feet when the fat man kicked her in the stomach. Young Master Ge snorted coldly upon seeing this.
"What? You've grown bold now? Want to rebel? Why didn't you do that earlier?"
After saying that, Young Master Ge gave the fat man a look:
"Come on, lift him up and take him to the backyard to clear his head!"
Upon hearing the order, the fat man and the skinny man quickly picked up Ning Zhao, who was lying on the ground, and took him directly to the kitchen in the backyard. They dragged Ning Zhao to a water vat, and the fat man seemed to be very skilled at this kind of thing. He grabbed Ning Zhao's hair and desperately pushed him into the water vat.
Ning Zhao tried to speak, but the fat man didn't even give him a chance to breathe. He was kept being held down in the vat and water was poured into him. Ning Zhao choked and coughed repeatedly. He couldn't resist at all. Endless despair spread into his heart. Ning Zhao was already numb to the pain in his body. Water kept entering his eyes, mouth, nose and ears. He felt that he was about to die.
At this moment, Ning Zhao could only think of his mother's gentle smiling face. He felt that he had let her down. She had spent so much money to send him to school, and now he was going to die in the academy for no reason because of such a scoundrel. He didn't want that! Yes, he couldn't die!
Ning Zhao tried his best to control his body, recalling the kung fu his father taught him at home. He used all his strength to deliver a back kick to the fat man's groin.
Just as the fat man painfully released Ning Zhao's hand, Ning Zhao suddenly lifted his head from the vat, coughing incessantly. He seemed to be deaf, and his vision was blurry. He couldn't fall down now, so Ning Zhao turned around with his blurry vision, grabbed the fat man who was still clutching his groin and crying out in pain, and kicked him to the ground with a powerful kick.
He turned around, straddled the chubby boy, and began swinging his fists at his head relentlessly. Seeing Ning Zhao dare to resist, Young Master Ge shouted to the skinny man beside him:
"What are you standing there for? Beat him! Beat him to death if you can't kill him!"
Seeing this, the skinny man grabbed a wooden stick and swung it at Ning Zhao's back with all his might. Every time Ning Zhao was hit by the stick, his body swayed a little. The excruciating pain did not make Ning Zhao less forceful. He only knew that he had to survive. His father had taught him that if he couldn't beat a group of people, he should grab one person and beat him to death.
The fat man beneath Ning Zhao was being beaten and repeatedly begged for mercy.
"Ahhh, it hurts, it hurts so much! Please let me go, please let me go! I... I'll never do it again, ahhh..."
Seeing that Ning Zhao seemed to be in a rage, the skinny man became a little scared. Usually, when they followed Young Master Ge to bully others, none of them dared to fight back. But this Ning Zhao seemed to be a tough nut to crack. When Young Master Ge saw that the skinny man seemed to have run out of strength, he kicked the skinny man aside, snatched the wooden stick from his hand, and started hitting Ning Zhao on the head.
Ning Zhao felt dizzy after being hit only once, so she quickly grabbed the wooden stick that Young Master Ge was swinging with both hands, slammed it down and pulled Young Master Ge to the ground. Ning Zhao didn't care about the fat man who was still howling at this moment, she directly flew up and straddled Young Master Ge and began to slap his face with both hands.
Young Master Ge was usually pampered and spoiled, always accompanied by servants and guards when he went out, and even at the academy, he had many followers protecting him. He had never suffered such humiliation before.
"You, Ning Zhao, you've got guts! If you can't kill me today, I'll definitely kill your whole family!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Zhao tightened her grip even more. Anyone who dared to threaten her with their family was courting death.
Seeing that his threats had no effect and had only fueled Ning Zhao's fighting spirit, Young Master Ge immediately shouted:
"Guards! Arrest Ning Zhao!"
The fat man and the thin man standing to the side exchanged glances, neither daring to provoke Ning Zhao. They were terrified by Ning Zhao's crazed appearance and quickly turned around to run to find the teacher.
When Master Li arrived, Ning Zhao was already exhausted from the beating and sat on the ground panting heavily, while Young Master Ge lay on the ground covering his face and sobbing.
"Ning Zhao, what's going on? Why are you beating up your classmate?"
Before Ning Zhao could speak, the fat man beside him rushed forward, grabbed the teacher's hand, and cried out:
"Look, Master, Ning Zhao not only hit Young Master Ge, but he also hit me. He's slapped my face so badly I can't show it to anyone anymore, and what about me..."
Seeing the fat man clutching his groin in embarrassment, Master Li knew what had happened, so he frowned and stared at Ning Zhao, asking:
"Ning Zhao, why did you hit someone?"
Ning Zhao wiped the water off his face, got up from the ground, and stared at the teacher, saying:
"Master, they hit me first."
Master Li looked Ning Zhao up and down and slowly said:
"I don't see you're seriously injured, but Fatty and Young Master Ge are quite badly hurt. I kept you at the academy to study, not to fight, cause trouble, and bully your classmates! Pack your things and go home to reflect on your actions!"
Ning Zhao was about to retort when she saw Young Master Ge, who was lying on the ground, get up and cry:
"Master, kick him out of the academy! He almost beat me to death! We can't keep someone like that in our academy!"
The teacher glanced at Young Master Ge and said in a deep voice:
"I will consider this matter myself. You two take Young Master Ge back to his room to rest."
Having received the teacher's orders, the fat man and the thin man hurriedly stepped forward to help Young Master Ge away. After everyone had left, Teacher Li stepped forward and carefully examined Ning Zhao's injuries, then sighed and said:
"Are you out of your mind? How did you get involved with these people? The Ge family is a prominent family in our Ping'an Town. You hit their young master this time, so naturally the Ge family won't let you off the hook. Go back to your room and pack your things. Go home and avoid them for a while. You can come back to study after the Ge family has calmed down!"
Ning Zhao knew that Master Li meant well, so he quickly nodded and said goodbye to the master before going back to his room to pack his things. Ning Chen, having heard that Ning Zhao had been beaten, rushed to find him and, seeing that he was badly injured, said to him:
"Ning Zhao, it's still early. Hurry up and pack your things to go to the city gate and find Uncle Ning Wu's oxcart. He usually picks up passengers there. Take his oxcart and go back to hide for a while. Young Master Ge and his men won't let you off easily. We'll think of something else later!"
Ning Zhao held Ning Chen's hand and said worriedly:
"You got involved in selling Yuwei paper, so you have to be careful of their retaliation. If they ask you about me, just say you don't know me. You can also join them in cursing me. You must protect yourself! I don't want you to be implicated!"
