Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Due to the sudden movement, the strong liquor Lu Chengzhou had just consumed surged back, causing a turbulent upheaval in his stomach.

Lu Chengzhou couldnt initiate an attack, and even dodging was a struggle. Soon, he found himself surrounded by the group of men, being subjected to punches and kicks. However, at this critical moment, a melodious shout came from behind them.

What are you doing?! a.s.saulting someone is against the law! Let him go!

Lu Qi swiftly removed her backpack and hurled it towards the group from behind.

The sudden airborne backpack left the men bewildered. When they turned to look, they saw a girl in a school uniform approaching, holding a stone in her hand.

There were many people in the front, and Lu Qi felt fearful inside. Strictly speaking, this was her first time getting into a fight. But she had decided to step in because the person being a.s.saulted was Lu Chengzhou.

Lu Qi rushed in, still holding the stone, but before she could reach anyone, she was kicked in the back and tumbled forward. Fortunately, Lu Chengzhou had s.h.i.+fted slightly to catch her as she fell.

Lu Qi, nursing her sc.r.a.ped hand, looked at her bruised hero, then glanced at the menacing footsteps closing in on her. Her ideals were grand, but the reality was harsh. She had thought she could be a heroine like Rong Qi. However, she felt that she was still a weakling who needed protection.

Since someone is offering themselves up as a sacrifice, lets all join in! Dont hold back, and after were done, this woman will be yours! Qiang shouted.

Hearing that, the group of men became more enthusiastic, approaching with outstretched hands.

Lu Qi, witnessing their menacing demeanor and malicious gazes, trembled slightly, her teeth chattering. She saw a foot flying towards her head and screamed in terror, covering her face. But instead of feeling the expected pain, she heard a m.u.f.fled grunt. Lu Chengzhou had s.h.i.+elded her!

Seeing Lu Chengzhou, injured by a kick, Lu Qi bit her lip hard, and her eyes caught sight of a broken liquor bottle lying nearby. With determination, she picked up one of the shattered pieces and stood up, holding it like a weapon. She moved towards the man who had just attacked.

If any of you take another step forward, Ill fight you! Im not afraid to die barefoot, and you wont stand a chance against me! Do you know Mr. Han? His son is my cla.s.smate. If you hurt me, Ill have Han Ning twist your heads off and use them as soccer b.a.l.l.s! And and theres Seven. If she finds out you bullied me, she can take you all down by herself, stab each of you 23 times, each wound non-lethal, but enough to make you wish you were dead! Hmph!

They werent afraid of Lu Qi, and they didnt care about her mention of Seven. However, they felt a strong sense of dread at the mention of Mr. Han.

In the underworld, especially in the capitals territory, who hadnt heard of Han Chidongs name?

The group of men gave Lu Qi and Lu Chengzhou a disdainful look, spat on the ground, and left the scene.

Once they were sure that the men had all gone, Lu Qi heaved a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground, trembling with fear, unable to recover her senses.

Lu Chengzhou had fallen asleep. It wasnt until he heard a m.u.f.fled sound beside him that he turned his head.

Mr. Lu? Are you okay, Mr. Lu?

After calling Lu Chengzhou several times without a response, Lu Qi bit her lip, gathered her courage, and dragged Lu Chengzhou up from the ground. She placed him on her back and used her foot to hook the backpack onto Lu Chengzhous neck. Then, she began the slow journey back home, like a tortoise carrying its burden..
