“That’s right! That guy Li Fugui is a notorious pervert. Stealing girls’ underwear is one thing, but he even went after the principal, that widow.”
“Most likely, the flasher this time was him too. He really freaking brings shame to all guys!”
After the morning assembly, Gu Chen, who hadn’t slept well, simply slumped onto his desk to take a nap.
Once he regained his energy, he would have the strength to guard against Tang Ziya’s schemes…
He hadn’t even napped for two minutes before cries of surprise echoed through the classroom, followed by a wave of chaos.
“Why is Liu Han here?”
“Yeah, he’s not here to take revenge on Gu Chen, is he?”
“Who knows? Anyway, evil people deserve each other. Let’s just watch the show.”
The students in the class immediately began whispering to each other.
A tall boy stood at the classroom door; his reputation was virtually the same as Gu Chen’s.
Liu Han from Class Seven, Grade Two was also one of the school bullies.
He used to be feared by everyone, bullying students everywhere and generally doing no good.
That was until one day, he provoked Gu Chen.
On the spot, he was beaten black and blue and forced to kneel and beg for mercy, completely losing face.
From then on, he would take a detour whenever he saw Gu Chen.
No one expected him to dare come to Class Five today; they didn’t know where he got the nerve.
“Brother Han, this is the place!”
A girl followed behind Liu Han, pointing inside with an expression like she wanted to eat someone alive.
She couldn’t bear the fact that an unknown guy had slapped her yesterday.
So, she sought support from her online boyfriend, vowing to take revenge.
But since she didn’t know the guy’s name, she could only have her friends search the entire school, determined to find him even if they had to dig three feet into the ground.
By the time of the next day’s morning assembly, good news finally arrived.
Someone had seen Gu Chen enter the Class Five, Grade Three classroom and immediately notified her.
Qian Zhiyu was overjoyed.
She contacted her boyfriend after class, saying she had found the guy and wanted him to get revenge for her.
“Alright, look closely. Which guy bullied you?”
Liu Han nodded, glaring fiercely at his surroundings.
But he was still a little nervous; after all, this class was home to the Great Demon King, Gu Chen.
Although with that guy’s personality, he shouldn’t like minding other people’s business, it was hard to say for sure.
‘It would be best if Gu Chen isn’t here; if he’s in the classroom, I’ll be in trouble.’
However, with so many people in the class, it shouldn’t be that coincidental.
If he weren’t afraid of losing face and being mocked for not being able to protect his girlfriend, he really wouldn’t have wanted to come here.
“Oh no, the Class Monitor went to the restroom. What should we do?”
Seeing that the visitors were up to no good, the students panicked, fearing they would be targeted.
They didn’t count on Gu Chen; if he didn’t join in to bully them, it would already be a huge blessing…
Qian Zhiyu searched with her head held high, and she quickly spotted the person in the far corner, her excitement mounting.
She immediately pointed her finger and shouted, “It’s him! That bastard in the corner! I’d recognize him even if he were turned to ash!”
“What!?”
The classroom fell into a dead silence as everyone looked over.
That was Gu Chen’s seat!
Heavens, Liu Han actually intended to come for revenge.
Everyone wore expectant expressions, and some didn’t even want to notify the Class Monitor, or they might miss the show.
Following their gazes, Gu Chen already knew what was going on.
For a moment, he didn’t know whether to laugh or roar with laughter.
He happened to be feeling depressed, so this was a good chance for some practice.
So, he stepped forward and tilted his head.
“Yo, what’s this? You got slapped yesterday, and now you’re back for another beating today?”
“You!!”
“Brother Han, it’s him! Kill him for me!”
Qian Zhiyu stamped her feet in anger, signaling to her boyfriend to make his move.
“Yo, you even brought backup. Come on, I’m waiting.”
Gu Chen arched an eyebrow.
To be honest, he really couldn’t bring himself to hit a woman, but using someone as a punching bag was no problem.
Just as he was about to strike, Liu Han moved first.
With the momentum of a tiger descending from a mountain, he then… *thud*, knelt on the ground!
“Brother Chen! I—I really didn’t know it was you!”
“You’re a magnanimous man; please don’t lower yourself to this bitch’s level. How could I ever dare to lay a hand on you?”
Liu Han was already sweating profusely.
The psychological shadow of being beaten until he wailed for his parents last year still hadn’t faded.
If he had known it was Gu Chen, he wouldn’t have dared come even if it killed him!
*Tch —*
A wave of boos immediately erupted from the crowd, everyone calling it boring.
They thought it was a case of the three-year term being up and the king returning, but after all that, it was just the Great Tiger Landing style…
“Brother Han, what’s going on? Didn’t you say you were the school’s top boss and that you weren’t afraid of anyone?”
Qian Zhiyu was dumbfounded.
She had clearly been tricked by this guy.
She stood there, dying of embarrassment.
“Beat it!”
Gu Chen looked disgusted.
He didn’t even have the desire to hit such a spineless coward; looking at him was an eyesore.
“Thank you! You can do whatever you want with this woman; I’m breaking up with her!”
Liu Han stood up quickly and severed ties on the spot.
He bolted, running faster than a rabbit.
“Liu Han!”
Qian Zhiyu was fuming, but feeling the chill behind her, she finally grew afraid.
She realized that yesterday’s slap was considered light.
“You get out too. I don’t want to see anything filthy.”
Gu Chen waved her off, completely uninterested in pursuing the matter.
“Yes.”
She gulped, her legs feeling weak.
However, the moment she turned around, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes.
It seemed she didn’t plan on letting it go just like that.
From charging in aggressively to fleeing with their tails between their legs, it hadn’t even been one minute.
The students who wanted to gossip also found it boring.
Gu Chen just didn’t know that not far from the classroom door, another pair of eyes was staring intently at the scene.
‘Is he… that powerful?’
Chu Xiaomeng hid in the shadows, murmuring to herself.
Although she didn’t hear the specifics, she could guess, and it sent waves of shock through her young heart.
***
After afternoon classes began, Guo Ming finally arrived late.
He stated that he had already held a funeral for his goddess and was preparing to find a new one.
Not a single hint of sadness could be seen on his face.
Gu Chen was already numb to this guy’s logic.
When the bell for the last period rang, everyone packed their books and prepared to head to dinner.
They would rest for a bit before evening self-study.
“Class Monitor, wait a second.”
Just as the subject teacher left, Li Yanqiu appeared seamlessly.
She called out to Tang Ziya, who was about to leave.
“Teacher Li, is something the matter?”
“Yes, a few items need to be repurchased for the classroom. I’m leaving this matter to you.”
After saying that, Li Yanqiu sent the list to her phone.
It was already common practice to use class funds to replace damaged items in the classroom.
“Alright, I understand. I’ll go after I eat.”
Tang Ziya didn’t suspect anything and tapped open the list to take a look.
“However, there are quite a few items this time, so have Gu Chen help you carry them. Time is tight, so don’t go to the cafeteria. Just grab something to eat on the way, and the cost can be covered by the class funds.”
Li Yanqiu spoke loudly on purpose.
Then she looked directly at Gu Chen.
The two of them had already discussed it this morning; they just needed to coordinate.
