Chapter 116: Saying He Could Not Do It
Just moments ago, Li Junmei was distraught and defeated, her face full of despondency. But the instant she saw Ruan Cha’s delicate, refined face, a flicker of panic instinctively flashed in her eyes.
She stared at the stick Ruan Cha held, her heart pounding fiercely. “I’ve already been fired, what more do you want?”
Locking eyes with Li Junmei, Ruan Cha’s pale, flushed face twisted into a sinister smile. She licked the roof of her mouth slowly and stepped forward deliberately. “You’ve pushed me this far. You think losing your job is the end of it? Teacher Li, you’re thinking far too lightly.”
“What do you mean? Ruan Cha, I’m warning you! I have people backing me, don’t think you’re something just because you’ve got Gu Zhenzhi on your side. No matter how arrogant Gu Zhenzhi is now, once he returns home, he’s nothing!—Ah! How dare you hit me!”
When Li Junmei first started cursing at Ruan Cha, the latter’s expression was indifferent, showing no ripple of emotion.
But the moment Gu Zhenzhi’s name was mentioned, the girl’s smiling face darkened instantly.
She raised her hand and slapped Li Junmei fiercely without hesitation.
“You say I can, but not him.” Ruan Cha lifted the stick in her hand and jabbed it at Li Junmei’s face.
“Ruan Cha!!!” Li Junmei nearly lost her mind. Fired just moments ago, now insulted so deeply by the student she loathed beyond measure—how could she possibly accept this?
“Teacher Li?” Yun Zhe, who had been trailing behind Ruan Cha, gasped as he caught up.
The moment he arrived, he saw Li Junmei glaring at Ruan Cha with reddened eyes.
Hearing the voice, Ruan Cha furrowed her brow, her gaze tinged with irritation.
She was about to turn when Li Junmei suddenly charged at her in a frenzy. “Ruan Cha, I’ll fight you—”
Snarling and clawing, she ran toward Ruan Cha with fierce eyes. Seeing this, Yun Zhe’s brows twitched sharply; he grabbed Ruan Cha’s arm, pulling her back toward himself.
Yet Ruan Cha didn’t move.
Li Junmei abruptly halted.
Yun Zhe looked at Teacher Li’s suddenly frozen expression with confusion.
Her eyes shifted behind them, growing filled with fear and unease.
As if she had glimpsed something utterly terrifying.
Yun Zhe slowly turned around and immediately saw—
A crowd of men clad in black, wearing sunglasses, standing in neat formation behind them.
Each one looked fierce and merciless, their faces cold to the bone.
Yun Zhe’s rosy lips paled in an instant.
His mouth twitched slightly, his Adam’s apple bobbing up and down as he swallowed nervously.
“Cha… Ruan Cha, should we just go back to class? There are… so many of them, we can’t possibly win…”
Ruan Cha sighed. “Classmate, could you please step aside?”
Terrified, Yun Zhe took several cautious steps back. Then he saw the sweet and delicate-looking girl, speaking softly and gently, say to the black-clad men behind her, “Surround her.”
No sooner had the words left her mouth than the men moved to encircle Li Junmei.
Two of them grabbed Li Junmei by the arms. Ruan Cha stepped in front of her, a chilling smile on her face.
“Let me tally up how many times Teacher Li has hurt me…”
She thought carefully, her expression unusually serious.
“Disrespecting students, mocking me for lacking self-respect, repeatedly provoking and undermining the teachers protecting me, slandering me without cause, framing me, even trying to get me fired…”
“Ling Jiu, calculate how much she’s hurt our boss. How should we teach her a lesson to satisfy our anger?”
Ling Jiu stepped beside Ruan Cha, his face cold.
“Boss, since she’s so bad with words, let’s just silence her.”
