Chapter 217 Next time, you won't need to lift a finger.
While Qi Yuxuan and Director An were working together on their business, Qiu Ziyue was still studying at Lanshan Middle School.
Qiu Ziyue and Leng Feng have been getting quite close lately, and the classmates around them have started gossiping about it.
This includes Gong Xiaoxiao, although she was taught a harsh lesson last time.
However, although she no longer attacked Qiu Ziyue on the surface, she had already planted the seeds of hatred in her heart.
She noticed that Leng Feng had four fingers on one hand, so she suspected that it was Leng Feng who had beaten her up last time.
Gong Xiaoxiao's parents have been feeling inexplicably uneasy lately.
They noticed that their daughter always wore a mask, even at home.
Every time she asked why, Gong Xiaoxiao would stammer and give vague answers, which made her even more worried.
Finally, one day, taking advantage of Gong Xiaoxiao's afternoon nap, her mother quietly entered her daughter's room.
She hesitated for a moment, but ultimately couldn't resist quietly taking off Gong Xiaoxiao's mask.
The scene before her eyes startled her—Gong Xiaoxiao's face was half swollen, and there were obvious bruises on her skin.
Gong Xiaoxiao's mother's heart sank, and she quickly woke Gong Xiaoxiao up:
"Xiaoxiao, what happened? How did you get like this?"
Gong Xiaoxiao covered her face with her hands in a panic:
"Mom, don't worry about it, it's not a big deal."
"It's nothing serious?"
Ms. Wang's voice trembled slightly, "How could nothing have happened! Tell me quickly what exactly happened?"
Gong Xiaoxiao's mother decided to immediately go to the school teacher to find out what was going on.
She brought Gong Xiaoxiao to the school office, where the homeroom teacher looked at Gong Xiaoxiao with concern.
"Gong Xiaoxiao, what's wrong? Who did this to you?"
Gong Xiaoxiao lowered her head and said weakly, "I fell by accident."
Back home, Gong Xiaoxiao's mother was still worried and continued to press Gong Xiaoxiao for answers.
Under her mother's persistent questioning, Gong Xiaoxiao finally broke down in tears:
"Mom, I didn't fall... Qiu Ziyue hired someone to beat me up."
Gong Xiaoxiao's mother was shocked:
"What? Qiu Ziyue? Why would she do this?"
Gong Xiaoxiao choked up as she said, "I don't know...it might be because I had a conflict with her at school before."
Gong Xiaoxiao's mother realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately took out her phone to call the police station to report the case.
One of the girls who was beaten recorded a video of the beating on her phone.
After reviewing the evidence, the police still couldn't conclude that it was Leng Feng who did it.
“Officer, I think it might have been Leng Feng who hit me,” Gong Xiaoxiao said.
Soon, the police arrived at the school to conduct an investigation.
Gong Xiaoxiao's mother gave the police a detailed account of her daughter's ordeal and submitted video evidence.
Police stated they will launch an investigation as soon as possible to ensure the incident is handled fairly.
The Public Security Bureau summoned Qiu Ziyue and Leng Feng.
Qiu Ziyue tearfully recounted:
“Everything must be based on evidence. They slandered me before, but eventually wrote me an apology letter. I am an open-minded person, so I forgave them. I didn’t expect them to still be framing me now.”
Leng Feng also refused to admit it.
Finally, the police said that they couldn't frame an innocent person, so they would leave the matter at that for now and continue to investigate.
Qiu Ziyue and Leng Feng returned to school safely.
On their way back, Qiu Ziyue whispered to Leng Feng, "Did you do it?"
Leng Feng said:
"They bullied you, so if it happens again, I'll beat them up without hesitation."
Qiu Ziyue sneered:
"Don't worry, next time you won't need to lift a finger. I'll take them down myself to avoid causing you any trouble."
The two smiled at each other.
Leng Feng's class, Class 5 of the second year of high school, is a class of underachieving students. Leng Feng is not good at studying, but his cool appearance and personality attract many girls.
Many girls think Leng Feng is very manly, so some girls have started to have a crush on him, and some even go to the boxing gym to watch him fight.
Qiu Ziyue's mother, Li Jinfeng, noticed that her daughter and Leng Feng went to and from school together every day, but she was a very open-minded person.
One day, after she finished teaching Leng Feng's math class, she specifically asked Leng Feng to go to her office.
A few minutes later, Leng Feng knocked on the office door.
He gently pushed open the door, walked in, and politely asked:
"Teacher Li, you wanted to see me?"
"Leng Feng, have a seat."
Li Jinfeng pointed to the chair opposite her, her tone serious.
Leng Feng nodded, slowly sat down, and looked calmly at Li Jinfeng.
“Leng Feng, I’ve noticed that you’ve been getting close to Twilight Sparkle lately.”
Li Jinfeng cut to the chase and asked, "Can you tell me why?"
Leng Feng was slightly taken aback, then smiled:
"There's no particular reason, I just wanted to protect her."
Li Jinfeng frowned, clearly dissatisfied with the answer:
“Protect her? That sounds a bit strange. You know, as a mother, I care a lot about her safety and well-being.”
"I understand your concerns."
Leng Feng said earnestly, "Zi Yue is a kind and pure girl. I hope to stay by her side and make sure she is not harmed in any way."
Li Jinfeng nodded, but a hint of doubt remained in her eyes:
“I don’t object to your friendship, but I hope you understand that as her mother, the last thing I want to see is her get hurt.”
Leng Feng's gaze hardened:
“Teacher Li, I know your concerns. Actually, you may not have realized it, but Ziyue and I were friends in a past life.”
Li Jinfeng was stunned and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
She had never heard of such a thing before and wondered if she had misheard.
“Teacher Li, you may not believe me even if I say too much, but during the nine years she was in a vegetative state, her soul traveled to ancient times. She was my master. She chose to come back, so I protected her.”
"What? Is that so?"
“Teacher Li, think about it, isn’t your daughter different now than she was 9 years ago? She knows martial arts, and she also knows many unknown skills. She is outstanding enough that I became her bodyguard.”
"That's a bit of a fantasy."
"Teacher Li, whether you believe it or not, don't worry, I will protect her with all my heart. No matter what difficulties we encounter, I will be by her side."
Li Jinfeng remained silent for a while, then finally sighed:
"Okay, I believe you mean it. However, I still hope you can understand a mother's heart more."
Leng Feng nodded solemnly:
"Don't worry, Teacher Li. I will do everything in my power to protect her."
Looking into Leng Feng's eyes, Li Jinfeng sensed his sincerity and determination.
She finally felt some relief from her worries and nodded gently.
"Thank you, Leng Feng. I hope you all study hard and stay safe and happy."
Leng Feng stood up and bowed to Li Jinfeng:
"Thank you for your understanding and support, Teacher Li."
Stepping out of the office, Leng Feng felt much more relaxed.
