Chapter 13: You Are Finished
The Senior High School Boss heard this, his face drained of color, and he said in terror, “Young Master Ling, you, you must be joking! It’s a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding.”
Ling Hanmu walked over and patted the Senior High School Boss’s shoulder with a half-smile, “You haven’t known this Young Master for just one day, have you?”
“No, no!”
“Then you should know very well that this Young Master never jokes, and what I’ve decided on cannot be a misunderstanding. So are you questioning this Young Master?”
“Young Master Ling…”
Before he could finish speaking, the Senior High School Boss received a punch from Ling Hanmu to his stomach, causing him to double over in pain and let out a muffled groan.
Immediately after, Ling Hanmu landed another punch on the Senior High School Boss’s face, which immediately swelled up. This time, the Senior High School Boss let out a scream.
Seeing this, the other students from the vocational high school’s pupils contracted in fear, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
In Haicheng, everyone knew that Ling Hanmu loved to bully others and act tyrannically. Especially delinquent youths around Ling Hanmu’s age were extremely careful to avoid offending him, practically doing everything they could to stay away, never daring to cross his path.
Now that Ling Hanmu had openly resorted to violence, how could they not be terrified?
Xia Chenge watched from the side, not expecting Ling Hanmu to come to the school and stand up for her time and time again when she was about to act.
She had originally planned to minimize their interactions, but it seemed that wasn’t going to be easy. Ling Hanmu seemed determined to get close to her, which was truly an unfortunate, even dangerous, development.
What exactly did he want?
“Little Brother, who else bullied you just now?” After teaching the Senior High School Boss a lesson, Ling Hanmu’s gaze swept across the field towards Xia Chenge, a stark contrast to the ferocity he had just displayed.
Hearing this, the vocational high school students’ hearts trembled, and they all looked at Xia Chenge with pleading eyes, hoping she wouldn’t identify them.
After all, in Haicheng, offending Ling Hanmu meant a life of hardship.
“Him, him, him!” Before Xia Chenge could speak, the students from Class F preemptively pointed out several other vocational high school students.
Ling Hanmu glanced at them coldly and sneered, “Did I ask you? Why are you meddling?”
The Class F students immediately fell silent sheepishly.
“You didn’t help just now, and now you want to claim merit? Do you think this Young Master is stupid?” Ling Hanmu’s words were as cold as ice.
Everyone broke out in a cold sweat, no longer feeling the ease they had moments before.
“Did they all bully you?” Ling Hanmu looked back at Xia Chenge.
Xia Chenge nodded. After all, even if she didn’t say anything, Ling Hanmu could see it by monitoring the surveillance.
Who wouldn’t let Ling Hanmu, the Young Master of the Ling family, do whatever he wanted in Haicheng? No one would dare to stop him!
“You’re all finished!” Ling Hanmu uttered these four words indifferently.
Following this, pig-like screams echoed through Yan Sheng High School, making anyone who heard them feel their scalp tingle and their bodies ache.
The school guards of Yan Sheng High School also turned a blind eye, letting Ling Hanmu do as he pleased, at most averting their gaze when the vocational high school students cried out in pain.
After beating up these few individuals, Ling Hanmu casually clapped his hands, his composed and elegant demeanor as if he hadn’t been the one to throw punches just moments ago.
“Who told you to cause trouble at Yan Sheng High School? Don’t you know Yan Sheng High School is this Young Master’s territory?” Ling Hanmu stepped on the Senior High School Boss’s back and asked coldly.
The Senior High School Boss, completely stripped of his earlier arrogance from bullying Xia Chenge, endured the pain like a subordinate and said, “It was, it was Xu Jingyun. She said if we came to teach Xia Chenge a lesson, she’d agree to go on a date with me. Lord Ling, please be magnanimous and forgive me for being bewitched this once.”
If he had known Ling Hanmu would help Xia Chenge, he would never have provoked Xia Chenge and caused himself so much trouble.
“It’s your sister again, what should we do?” Ling Hanmu asked Xia Chenge with a smile, the amusement in his eyes evident.
The reason Xia Chenge avoided Ling Hanmu like the plague was because this guy was frighteningly intelligent, always setting traps for people, and one wrong step would lead to falling into them.
“We’ll improvise!” Xia Chenge said calmly.
“Then let’s improvise!” Ling Hanmu said softly, as if to himself, but loud enough for everyone to hear, “When it comes to Little Brother’s matters, I always find myself unable to stay out of it!”
The others present didn’t dare to breathe, afraid of attracting Ling Hanmu’s attention and becoming the first to be struck down.
“I will handle my own affairs, Young Master Ling,” Xia Chenge said solemnly to Ling Hanmu, implying that he shouldn’t interfere too much.
“Then I’ll listen to Little Brother,” Ling Hanmu said with a smile, appearing very agreeable.
Afterward, Ling Hanmu casually glanced at the Class F students, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.
The Class F students broke out in a cold sweat at Ling Hanmu’s meaningful glance and lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.
Xia Chenge returned to her seat and tidied her belongings, as if the events that had just transpired had nothing to do with her.
Seeing this, Ling Hanmu also sat down next to Xia Chenge.
“From today onwards, I’m your deskmate,” Ling Hanmu decided in an instant.
Xia Chenge… Young Master, can you please leave me alone?
Xia Chenge’s silent protest was of no use. Young Master Ling was merely informing her of the fact, not seeking her opinion.
“Also, you look very beautiful today!” Ling Hanmu’s gaze was intense as he praised her sincerely, “Girls should be like this, so cute!”
“I like girls like this.”
“You should always make yourself look beautiful from now on!”
Xia Chenge… Young Master, you talk too much!
The explosive news that Ling Hanmu had transferred to Class F of the second year and that Xia Chenge was actually a great beauty quickly spread throughout Yan Sheng High School, causing a huge stir.
While everyone was shocked, they were unwilling to believe that Xia Chenge was beautiful. Especially the girls, who were convinced that Xia Chenge had undergone plastic surgery!
Therefore, it soon spread throughout Yan Sheng High School that Xia Chenge was a scheming plastic surgery monster who had been pretending to be foolish all these years just to attract Young Master Ling’s attention, then undergo a major transformation to gain his notice.
Xia Chenge scoffed at this but didn’t care what they said. What she cared about more was how to get rid of Ling Hanmu!
Having someone like him as a deskmate was extremely inconvenient.
No matter how unhappy Xia Chenge was, it couldn’t change the fact that Ling Hanmu had become a student in Class F.
Fortunately, apart from occasionally staring at her in a daze, Ling Hanmu mostly slept and rarely bothered her.
Time flew by until school was over. Recalling the morning’s events, Xia Chenge felt a strange sense of excitement.
Ignoring Ling Hanmu’s disappointment, Xia Chenge firmly rejected his offer to escort her home. She didn’t want such an interesting event to be spoiled by Ling Hanmu.
Xia Chenge deliberately got off the bus one stop early, giving the “little tails” who had been following her since she left Yan Sheng High School an opportunity to act.
Moreover, she wanted to see clearly whether it was Xia Minglan and her daughter or the Zhou family who wanted to kill her!
If they dared to provoke the powers that be, they would never learn their lesson unless they were taught the meaning of death…
