naturally trust you,” Lin Meng smiled, her bright eyes flickering slightly. “But I don’t quite trust the people around you. About yesterday’s incident, I believe you all have some awareness. Our comp...Lin Meng touched his head, puzzled. [..tw many good novels] Then he finally saw Rong Ling walk out from the building. He Ya turned her head and laughed, that smile was so radiant, with a mouthful of white teeth, facing the light, all falling into Lin Meng's eyes. It seemed like He Ya said something, excitedly rushed towards Rong Ling, using both hands and feet, hugging Rong Ling like a koala.

Lin Meng immediately widened her eyes and glared. What are you doing In broad daylight, how can you do such a thing!

But Rong Ling didn't push her away hastily. Instead, he whispered something to her in a low voice. This scene inexplicably stimulated Lin Meng. Her hand unconsciously clenched tightly. Her lips were unconsciously bitten by her teeth.

On one side, Miao Qing smiled faintly, as if she was used to it.

He Ya finally jumped down from Rong Ling's body, but affectionately took Rong Ling's arm and walked, her small head even more affectionately leaning against Rong Ling. And Rong Ling didn't push away!

Even after seeing the three people get into the car and leave, Lin Meng remained frozen at the window. On the sixth floor, it was higher up, so the wind was a bit stronger. A gust of cold wind blew, and Lin Meng felt a chill run through her entire body.

She rubbed her goosebumps, stomped her feet, closed the window, and ran to the bathroom. Though she couldn't help but furrow her brows, she silently told herself in her heart: Don't think too much, don't think too much...

But she could admonish herself not to overthink. Some people, however, indulge in overthinking, which is even more inappropriate.

Gu Jianxi stared at Lin Meng, for many days. That day, he watched helplessly as Lin Meng was taken away from his arms by Rong Ling, and not only did he fail to get her back, but he also had to act like a coward, listening to others under their bed. He felt this was -- an insult!

Complete and utter humiliation!

This kind of person, because of the bumps and troubles of his youth, once he is suddenly pushed to a very high position by others, there will be a slight distortion in his heart, almost arrogantly believing that the whole world should revolve around him. Besides, Gu Jianxi is handsome, cool, and smart. He never studied seriously, but in the few days before the exam, flipping through the book, he could easily keep his grades at an average level. Besides, he is also good at physical skills. When he was young, he once beat all the people in a neighborhood and became invincible.

Defeated by Rong Ling's hands, he felt a sense of shame. Even though Rong Ling was a generation older than him, even though Rong Ling looked very strong. But so what With his old man around, what did he have to fear

The name Rong Ling... of the Rong family....

Gu Jianxi sneered and tossed the information about Rong Ling into his hand, looking at it as if it were a worthless scrap of paper.

Rong Ling just left yesterday, and in the short term, he's probably not coming back to J City. Leaving Lin Meng alone in the empty boudoir, this is such a wonderful thing! Gu Jianxi made a decision, he wanted to take Lin Meng in this time! Once he got her, whether or not to let her go wouldn't be up to Rong Ling anymore.

For this, his clever mind whirred, and he came up with a plan!

A hero saving a beauty, such a plot, would never be out of date no matter what era it's placed in.

When Lin Meng was leaving school, she was intercepted by a few hooligans. The men had very obvious lecherous smiles and giggled lewdly at Lin Meng, making some vulgar remarks.

"Baby, come play with us for a while..."

Lin Meng dreamed he didn't want to, immediately ran. Run, but can't run, because surrounded by them. These gangsters, it is premeditated.

Lin Meng's face turned cold, furious at such a shameless person. People like this should all be imprisoned.

"If you don't leave, I'm going to call for help!" she gritted out through her teeth.

"Hey, who are you calling out" the hooligan wasn't afraid at all. "If you dare to call me out, I dare to too! Want me to broadcast your and Rong Ling's business Hehe, brother-in-law, does your brother-in-law make you feel good"

Lin Meng's face changed, and she was startled. What did these people find out!

"Shameless!" she blurted out,

"Hey hey, how did this become shameless I haven't truly been shameless yet!" the hooligan said, reaching out to touch Lin Meng's face. Lin Meng reached out and slapped the hooligan's hand away forcefully.

"I warn you, let me go right now, or I will call the police!"

"Hee hee, you're calling out If you dare to call, I'll tell the police that you're publicly selling yourself. Hee hee, do you think the police uncle will believe you or me"

These hoodlums were clearly one step ahead, acting as if they had rehearsed their lines beforehand. Lin Meng was momentarily speechless, she hated that there were such despicable people in the world who could exploit someone's flaws and drive them to despair. She had absolutely no grudge against them.

Her sharp teeth clenched, she glared fiercely at the group. "What do you want"

"How are you" Those little hooligans all chuckled gleefully, "We don't want anything much, just want you to hang out and have some fun with us."

As he spoke, he started to harass Lin Meng. Because these thugs were dressed as students, their clothes were quite clean. They didn't look like those slovenly social hooligans. At first glance, they seemed like a couple of male and female classmates flirting with each other. No one came forward to intervene. Only the pedestrians watching Lin Meng and the others looked at them with disgust, feeling that the world was going downhill and this was too outrageous and vulgar!

Lin Meng's small face flushed red. She didn't know what cards these people held in their hands, so she wanted to scream but dared not, fearing that she would once again publicize the rumors that had finally subsided. However, she absolutely refused to just stand there, motionless, and be treated so disrespectfully by these people.

Furiously, she swatted away each hand that had touched her body. Her mind racing, a plan suddenly formed. Looking at the men, her face grew unusually grim, her expression dark and menacing. She threatened, “I warn you, my brother is Lin Dong. He's quite well-known in this area. You better not mess with me, or else, my brother definitely won't let you off!”

Those few hooligans paused for a moment, their movements suddenly seeming hesitant. Lin Meng's heart relaxed, a hint of joy blossoming within her. It seemed her brother still had some skills after all. But then, those hooligans abruptly twisted their faces into grotesque grimaces, clutching their bellies and bursting into exaggerated laughter. As they laughed, they sneered, "Haha...What's Lin Dong We wouldn't be afraid of him, would we You're so naive, thinking your brother scares us. Haha...Our boss could crush your brother with a single finger, no effort at all! Haha...Lin Dong...You're making me laugh!"

Lin Meng's face turned grim. She was a little frightened and guessed, who on earth was the big boss behind these people! Listening to their tone, they were utterly audacious!

Before this, because of her appearance, some troublemakers around the school hadn't spared her attention. But they were all taught a lesson by her brother, Lin Dong, who led his buddies to take care of them. Since then, nothing like this had happened again. Suddenly, these people appeared out of nowhere, and their tone was so arrogant, claiming that their boss could easily kill Lin Dong. Then, just how powerful must that person be!

Why would he go after her!

She has an instinctive fear of these social ruffians. They are vicious and lawless, utterly disregarding morality and the law.

Why couldn't she just live a normal life, free from all this anger and resentment

"Haha, you're pretty interesting, little girl. Come on, come play with big brother!"

One of the ruffians laughed enough, then came to grab Lin Meng. The boys' strength was obviously greater than the girls', and one of them grabbed Lin Meng at once.

Lin Meng felt goosebumps rise all over her skin instantly. She detested contact with this kind of person.

"Let me go!" she hissed, her teeth gritted as she glared at the group of men. But the watery color of her eyes weakened her stance. The thugs weren't fazed at all, instead they seemed quite interested, staring intently at Lin Meng's little face. Those triangular eyes, no matter how you looked at them, were just sleazy!

Lin Meng felt like she was going to vomit!

"Get out of here!" She kicked the man angrily, her leg a blur. It was the most outrageous, violent thing she'd ever done in public. Her anger had reached its peak.

The thug got angry, his face turned cold as a knife blade. His murky triangular eyes blazed with fury.

"You little bitch, have no shame! Brothers, get her! I'm going to teach her a lesson she won't forget. I'll make her beg for mercy at my feet!"

The words were obscene, laden with sexual innuendo, it was simply too insulting. Lin Meng was furious, her face turning green with anger. A few thugs nearby moved at the sound, reaching out to grab Lin Meng. Naturally, Lin Meng struggled, using her hands and feet, fighting back while shouting, "You bastards, get away from me! Get lost!"

Because she had reservations in her heart, her voice was not loud, and she was really afraid that these thugs would make a big deal out of it. She didn't know what these people knew, nor did she know if they had any information in their hands. Judging from her brother Lin Dong's experience, these gangsters usually threatened people or extorted protection money, and the police basically didn't care much. Most of them were just verbal reprimands, or taken to the police station for two or three days before being released. Then these gangsters continued their previous threatening behavior. So, most of the students who encountered blackmail by these gangsters simply paid the money and settled it. And sometimes, if these gangsters were arrested by the police, they would become even more vicious after they came out, so many people didn't dare to call the police because they felt that calling the police would only fuel their ferocity!

These people clearly don't have good intentions towards her!

Lin Meng's heart was pounding with a mix of fear and worry. She dreaded going to the police station, afraid that these people would start making up lies about her. She also worried that this whole ordeal would drag Rong Ling down with her.

Lin Meng was being pushed and shoved by these people, so desperate that he was about to cry. At this moment, if Rong Ling were here, with his skills, he would definitely have beaten these hooligans down in a few moves.

Tolerance...

Lin Menghong's eyes were red, and she murmured softly in her heart.

The surrounding pedestrians clearly saw everything happening, but everyone pretended not to see anything, coldly continuing on their way, no one wanting to get into trouble. This country's economic development has been too rapid, yet it has failed to keep up with the necessary education. Morality and ethics have been diluted due to the destruction of traditional values like filial piety and superstition. Furthermore, because there have been many similar incidents before, such as when someone who tried to be a hero ended up being falsely accused by the criminals and forced to pay for damages, and the police officers and judges all sided with the criminals, people's hearts have grown cold, or rather, numbed.

So, when Lin Meng was facing the four hooligans like a cornered beast, she suddenly heard a roar: "Stop!" Her heart was filled with gratitude and emotion!

The newcomer moved swiftly, with long arms and legs. With a few fierce moves, he sent the four hooligans flying like autumn leaves. The hooligans ran away like defeated dogs, but they still threw threats over their shoulders: "Humph, you little brat, just wait for us! See how our boss deals with you later!"

What bugs me the most about these punks is how stubbornly they resist and fight back, just like cockroaches!

A shadow of deep worry clouded Lin Meng's heart.

"Gu Jianxi, are you okay" She bit her lip, deciding to put this aside for now. She came to Gu Jianxi's face and asked him with concern.

Ku Jianxi touched his lips, which had been grazed during the recent melee, and smiled faintly: "It's nothing, just a scratch!"

But when he let go, Lin Meng noticed a slight trace of blood on Gu Jianxi's mouth.

"You are bleeding."

Her brows furrowed deeply, her heart filled with both gratitude and guilt. After a moment's thought, she said, "Thank you so much this time. Well, my house is nearby. Come to my place, and I'll put some medicine on your wound for you!"

There was a scrape on the corner of his mouth, slightly red. If it wasn't treated promptly, it would definitely turn purple later.

Gu Jianxi hesitated for a moment. "It's alright, I don't want to trouble you!"

"How could this be a trouble! You just saved me!" Lin Meng shook her head, very determined. "No more talking, come with me!"

As a gesture of gratitude for his help, she also had to do something.

This time, Gu Jianxi didn't refuse. He nodded and followed Lin Meng. Both of them were silent because they hadn't interacted much before.

In the distance, a van filled with people. A black camera lens peeked through the slightly pulled-back brown curtain, silently capturing everything that had just happened and was happening now, quietly recording it all. Then, as Lin Meng and Gu Jianxi walked away, the van started up and quietly followed them. Until Lin Meng and Gu Jianxi entered the Wenzhi Residential Area together, the van stopped a short distance away from the area and remained motionless.n, it certainly needed to be taken away from this crowded place. As expected, Bingbing took the lead again. A transparent bottle of liquor originally placed there for Bingbing to make cocktails with w...
