Ji Tongtong stepped back.

The blood on her face drained away.

“Sister… what are you saying? I don’t quite understand?”

Ji Tongtong acted clueless, her face calm.

What a pity though, she was young, and her weaknesses showed.

Chuzheng turned off the recording. “You know very well in your heart what it is.”

She was so vicious even at a young age.

She looked pretty good though.

Why did she have to walk on this path of no return?

Sigh!

What a pity.

The flower of our nation grew to become crooked.

[…] Little miss seems to have a bit of internal turmoil. Just let it be, I’ll just pretend I never heard it, or she might be aggressive towards me again.

“Sister, please don’t joke around with me.” Ji Tongtong’s smile seemed a little forced. “I really don’t know what that is… I… I still have some unfinished homework, I’ll be going back now.”

Ji Tongtong seemed as if she could not wait to run away.

Hearing that recording without being prepared for it and the massive change in Chuzheng made Ji Tongtong confused.

She regretted it immediately after entering her room.

She did it secretly, so no one would know she was the one who did it.

If she did not admit to it, there was no evidence at all.

Ji Tongtong took out the phone that she specifically used to contact her allies, and sent a few messages to Brother Huang. Of course, there was no reply since Brother Huang was currently lying in a hospital bed, where would he find the time to reply to her?

Ji Tongtong started to think something was wrong. She quickly pulled the sim card out of the phone and flushed it down the toilet.

After doing this, Ji Tongtong let out a small sigh of relief.

–

Of course Chuzheng did not have any evidence, she forced Brother Huang to create this recording to scare this trash.

Otherwise, she would treat Chuzheng as a weak target for bullying like before.

Having to deal with problems every day was annoying.

[Little miss, please receive Ye Chen’s information~]

Before the system’s cheerful voice ended, Chuzheng’s brain was unexpectedly stuffed with information about Ye Chen.

When he was young, both of Ye Chen’s parents died. He was later adopted in name by his aunt and uncle, taking his family home and the money they left behind.

Naturally, relatives who could do such a thing would not treat Ye Chen well.

Ye Chen endured humiliation, scolding, and was also bullied at school.

Eventually, his morals became skewed…

After graduating from third year of high school, he wanted to enter university. He thought he could leave this place, but unfortunately, his dreams were once again destroyed by his aunt and uncle.

Ye Chen was completely corrupted afterwards. He killed the whole family with cruel methods before fleeing.

Many years later, Ye Chen once again returned, and sought out everyone who bullied him back then.

One by one, those people were punished and sentenced to death.

Chuzheng rubbed her brows.

“Is this a task?”

[Yes, don’t let Ye Chen be corrupted. So, little miss, let Ye Chen spend some money! Make him see how beautiful the world can be!]

Chuzheng: “…”

Stupid people are rich.

Stupid people are rich.

Stupid people are rich.

–

Monday.

Chuzheng and Ji Tongtong were both in their second year of high school. Ji Tongtong left with her friend early in the morning, while Chuzheng was sent to school by a chauffeur.

The chauffeur and maid were stunned at Chuzheng’s sudden change in behaviour.

She was also different from her past self, who always made a fuss and lost her temper easily.

The young miss of today had a cold and calm demeanor, she also spoke less…

“Stop the car.”

The chauffeur suddenly heard her command and stepped on the brakes.

Chuzheng opened the door and got out, hoisting her school bag. Closing the door, she stepped on the flowerbed and jumped over confidently.

Chauffeur: “…”

The young miss seemed really cool today.

–

“Ye Chen, going to school?”

A few people surrounded Ye Chen from behind and dragged him off his bike, forcing him to stop.

They wore uniforms of Second Junior High, but they looked imposing — you would not want to mess with them.

Ye Chen furrowed his brows and got down. Not wanting to waste his time on these people, he continued walking while pushing his bike.

“What’s the rush?”

“Come, we wanna discuss something with you.”

“Haha, yes, come, we’ll talk about it there.”

Ye Chen, along with his bike, was dragged towards the park nearby.

As Ye Chen was getting beat up, he saw Chuzheng standing in the flower bed not far from where he was. Her bag in her hand, she watched him getting beaten up.

He did not recognize her at first, but after seeing the pendant on her school bag and those cold eyes, he remembered her.

She did not shy away from his gaze, and continued to stare at him coldly.

Ye Chen covered his head with his arms, enduring the pain soundlessly.

“Ye Chen, call me your grandfather and I’ll let you off today.”

Ye Chen continued to stay silent, and glared fiercely at the bullies, like an enraged lion.

“Why are you glaring at your grandfather?”

“You’re still glaring…”

The boy raised his hand to hit Ye Chen.

Someone grabbed his shoulders, and the boy stumbled backwards.

“Who is it!” The boy turned to hit the person.

Chuzheng grabbed his wrist and twisted downwards.

“Argh…”

The boy cried out pitifully, and the people surrounding Ye Chen turned to look.

“Boss!”

“Boss, are you alright!”

“Where did this little girl come from, you dare to bully our boss? Let go of him!”

The boy in Chuzheng’s grasp whimpered in pain, “Beautiful miss, let’s talk it out…”

Chuzheng lifted her leg and kicked his butt, and he tumbled towards the ground.

“Apologize.”

“I’ll only apologize on behalf of your father.” No longer being restrained, the boy shouted at the others behind him. “What are you looking at, teach this nosy girl a lesson!”

Chuzheng dropped her bag on the floor and gripped her arm. When the bullies came rushing towards her, she swept her leg upwards and knocked them down.

This bunch of students simply relied on their measly fighting skills. It did not take much effort for Chuzheng to deal with them.

In a moment, all of them collapsed on the ground.

Chuzheng bent down and picked up her bag. “Apologize.”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” Although they did not know what they did wrong.

“Him.” Chuzheng pointed at Ye Chen who was standing awkwardly away from them. “Apologize to him.”

The boy clasped his hands and looked at Ye Chen.

This Ye Chen, where did he meet such an amazing beauty?

“I’m sorry!” The boy gritted his teeth. Ye Chen, just you wait!

“Scram.”

The boys helped each other up and swiftly disappeared from the park.

Ye Chen looked up, a hint of fierceness lingering in his eyes. A hand landed on his head and rubbed it, like petting a dog.

Soft.

Comfortable.

Just a bit more.

“Are you done touching me?” Who does she think she is?

Chuzheng’s stern expression did not change as she withdrew her hand, acting like she was not the one petting his head.

Ye Chen was stunned. “…”

What was wrong with this person?

Ye Chen supported himself using the flowerbed. His legs were numb and he could not stand properly. His body swayed like he was going to fall, and his face was pale.

The boy looked handsome, with a pretty face and a patient expression. This combination made one want to… continue watching him struggle.

Chuzheng stared at him for a while before reaching out to support him.

The latter withdrew his hand, his words unkind and vigilant. “What do you want with me?”

The way she looked as she watched him get beaten up… she did not look like she planned to save him.

Although, he never hoped for anyone to help him. After so many years, he was used to it.

Someday…

Those bullies would have to pay the price.

“Am I a friend?” The girl’s cold yet pleasing voice sounded, pulling Ye Chen out of his thoughts.

Ye Chen’s face grew complicated for a moment. He looked around, trying to find any evidence to prove that she was just making fun of him.
