Chapter 381: What I, Song Yun, Fear the Least is Trouble!
The student who was being beaten felt as if the punches had stopped falling on his body, gradually closed his mouth, and his swollen eyes opened a slit.
He could sense someone was trying to save him, but those who were laying their hands on him had some influence in their families, no matter how much. Even if he was beaten and the incident was reported to the school, it might end up with just a compensation in the end!
And as for them, the money they would have to pay might not even amount to their monthly pocket money!
"Thank... Thank you all, please hurry and go..."
The youth's voice was weak as he called out.
The girl who was attacking him frowned immediately, stepped on him, and said viciously, "What's this got to do with you! Shut your mouth!"
"What are you doing!"
Song Yun bellowed, "You are utterly lawless, can't you solve whatever grievances you have in a peaceful way! Even if you must resort to violence, a one-on-one fight is the true way, what skill is there in a group of you beating up one person!"
In Song Yun's time, it wasn't that brawls didn't happen, but back then, students were very afraid of teachers and parents. Just by shouting that a teacher was coming, an originally bustling scene would scatter within three seconds.
Moreover, in his time, it was rare for a group to gang up on one. If you didn't like the look of someone, and they didn't like the look of you, a one-on-one fight was enough. After the fight, they might even shake hands, make peace, and become friends in the future.
"Yo-ho, yo-ho, look here uncle, are you a bit out of your mind! Even if several of us beat up one, what if I call more people over, what can you do then!"
The girl disdainfully said, "This is your last warning, if you keep poking your nose into this, I really am going to get mad!"
"Hmph, like I could be scared of you!"
Song Yun said with some anger in his chest.
The girl rolled her eyes and suddenly laughed, "Looks like there really are some who aren't afraid of death! Boys, get them!"
The people under the girl's command instantly changed from looking like students to little thugs, tilting their heads and cracking their knuckles as they walked towards Song Yun and his friends.
But then Ouyang Jie and the others got out of the car, and dealing with these kids was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Just a few slaps later, several were lying on the ground in pain, only able to moan.
"Looks like you've got some skills too!"
The girl saw the situation turning sour and tried to run, but how could Ouyang Jie let her escape so easily? He quickly stepped forward, grabbed her hands, and pinned her against the wall of the alley.
"You bastards! Do you know who my father is! Do you know who my mother is! How dare you treat me like this! You wait, I'll make sure you die!"
It was hard to imagine that these words came from the mouth of a girl who looked pretty.
Song Yun shook his head helplessly and crouched to check the battered youth's condition.
After checking, Song Yun found that the boy was not seriously hurt, only some superficial skin injuries. However, if Song Yun and his friends hadn't gotten out of the car to intervene, the youth would have likely had to spend some time recovering in bed today.
"Thank you all, but you better leave quickly. Their families are not easy to mess with."
The youth said in a low voice after being helped up by Song Yun, "You don't know who they are, so it's better to leave now. They can beat me up later to take out their anger."
"Don't worry, I'm not afraid of trouble."
Song Yun said with a light smile, "You seem to be still in school? What grade are you in?"
"Sophomore in high school..."
"So you're still a kid. Which school do you go to, and they bully you like this, haven't you reported it to the school?"
Song Yun asked curiously.
"Reported it... but their families are very rich, and the school can't do anything about them. Whenever something happens, they'll just use money for compensation, and it's quite substantial. Most students' parents stop pursuing the matter once they see the money."
"Hmph! This is simply fueling their criminal flames! Which school do you attend? I want to see if this is something I, Song Yun, can handle!"
"This..."
The youth hesitated, not knowing how to begin. After all, he was just a kid and worried about many things. If he told this person the name of the school and then there was a commotion...
He feared that not only would the attackers seek revenge afterward, but the school might...
With these thoughts, the youth was a bit afraid to speak.
"If you spill it, you're dead for sure!"
Despite being pinned against the wall, the girl's face was still arrogant, and she continued to threaten.
"Ouyang Jie, can you shut her up, please! I'm really annoyed!"
Song Yun said with some irritation. Ouyang Jie chuckled twice, tore a strip from her coat, and stuffed it into the girl's mouth.
Suddenly, the girl's mouth emitted muffled "Mmmm mmmm" sounds.
"I truly want to help you, I really do. Trust me."
Song Yun said earnestly.
Moved by the look in Song Yun's eyes, the youth relented and told him the name of his school.
Song Yun nodded, planning to take the youth and the locked-up girl to have a look at the school.
The school was not far from the little alley, barely a few minutes' walk even if they didn't drive.
Since it was the time for class, the security guard at the entrance was taken aback upon seeing the group, but then he noticed the youth's uniform and the girl being held by one hand by Ouyang Jie and felt a headache coming on.
The girl was a well-known troublemaker at the school, and many people knew about it, so the guard's first thought was that she must have caused some trouble again.
He sighed, straightened his clothes, and approached Song Yun and his group, saying, "Who are you? Visitors are not allowed during class hours!"
"Hello, I would like to meet with your principal," Song Yun said very politely.
After all, this was just a bottom-level security worker. Even if there was anger in his heart, it wasn't right to vent it on him.
"That... Tell me what the matter is first and then I'll decide whether to let you in or not!"
The guard looked around and spotted the cloth gagging the girl's mouth, which he deemed unacceptable. Even if she was a big demon, she was still their school's student, and her current state was out of order!
"Who are you anyway! Why are you binding our student? Speak your reason, or forget about seeing the principal—I'll call the police in a second!"
As Song Yun tried to figure out what to say, Li Tian patted his shoulder and showed him his phone, saying, "No worries, I've already notified the principal of this school. Let's wait a few minutes, and they'll naturally come out to meet us."
Sure enough, right after Li Tian finished speaking, a middle-aged man wearing glasses came running over, panting heavily.
