Chapter 13: Violence at the School Gate

Upon learning that Qin Qinghan was the victim of a past assault, the parents felt a perverse sense of relief.

A woman, heavily made up, scoffed dismissively, "No matter how pretty, she's been ruined."

"Such a beautiful woman, what a pity," remarked a sleazy-looking father, eyeing Qin Qinghan's graceful silhouette with regret.

Qin Qinghan was all too familiar with these insults and mockeries; at this moment, she just wanted to take her daughter and leave this place as quickly as possible.

Ye Fengwu approached with large, determined strides, his face dark and foreboding. Only now did he truly understand why Qin Qinghan was always checking the time in the car, why she was so anxious to arrive at the school on time.

She had known such incidents could happen. It was not hard to imagine the ridicule and humiliation she and her daughter had endured over the last eight years.

Ye Fengwu blocked Qin Qinghan as she tried to hurry back to the car.

Seeing this, Qin Qinghan, tears in her eyes, pleaded softly, "Let's go, please."

Ye Fengwu didn't budge, his voice deep and firm, "Leaving now would not ease my mind."

As he spoke, he wiped the spit off Jing Si's backpack. His face was a mix of remorse and anger.

For a moment, Qin Qinghan was deeply moved. His care for Jing Si seemed to surpass that of anyone else. What exactly was he fighting for?

As Ye Fengwu moved past Qin Qinghan, her expression shifted, reflecting her concern about his volatile temperament and what he might impulsively do next.

Indeed, Ye Fengwu confronted the students and parents who had just insulted and mocked Qin Qinghan and her daughter.

The elementary students and a group of parents looked on with confusion, unsure who this tall, handsome man was.

Ye Fengwu approached them like a wolf stalking its prey, causing the children who had just insulted Jing Si to cling tightly to their parents in fear.

Even the parents furrowed their brows as they watched Ye Fengwu.

Once he stopped, he turned to a little boy who had insulted Jing Si, his voice deep and ominous, "Did you spit on my daughter and call her mother a 'dirty woman'?"

The boy, just from meeting Ye Fengwu's fierce gaze, was too scared to respond and started to whimper, "Mom... I'm scared..."

Being only seven or eight years old, the boy immediately burst into tears, and the other children who had mocked Jing Si also began to cry, trembling with fear.

Seeing this, the boy's mother and other parents became angry. The boy's mother pointed at Ye Fengwu and shouted, "Who are you to care about what a child says? If you scare my son, I won't let you off!"

Ye Fengwu's eyes narrowed slightly, his voice cold as he responded, "Such young children hurting others with their words, and you as parents do nothing?"

The boy's mother haughtily retorted, "And why should you care? Besides, my child is only speaking the truth. Everyone in this school knows Qin Qinghan was assaulted."

Suddenly, a loud slap sounded, and the woman was sent flying three meters away.

She landed with a scream, her jaw dislocated and several teeth knocked out.

Ye Fengwu normally refrained from hitting women, but today, he had lost his restraint.

The woman, pale with shock, never expected that someone would dare to hit her in broad daylight.

She wanted to yell or scream for help, but could only emit strange whimpering sounds due to her dislocated jaw.

The boy, terrified, sat on the ground crying, having wet his pants, as did several other children who had mocked Jing Si.

The parents who had intended to blame Ye Fengwu stepped back in fear, burying their faces, afraid that this violent man might target them next.

Ye Fengwu looked around at the faces, snorting, "It's the fault of the parents if a child is untaught. If you don't discipline your children now, someone else will have to later. I won't hit your children, but those of you who insulted my daughter and wife... go and apologize now."

From afar, Qin Qinghan was stunned beyond belief. She hadn't expected Ye Fengwu to take such drastic action to defend Jing Si and herself. His anger and his affection for Jing Si were undeniably genuine.

"What's going on here?" asked a corpulent middle-aged man, frowning as he approached.

Seeing the woman on the ground searching for her teeth, his expression darkened, and he looked straight at the stern-faced Ye Fengwu.

"Is this your doing at the school gate?" the man questioned Ye Fengwu.

The sleazy-looking father quickly explained to the man, "Principal, this man claims to be Qin Jingsi's father. He not only hit a student's mother but also demands an apology for Qin Jingsi and her mother."

The newcomer was the school principal, Liu Fu, a greasy, corrupt-looking middle-aged man.

Hearing this, Liu Fu glanced towards Qin Qinghan and her daughter, his narrow eyes revealing a trace of lewd pleasure, which Ye Fengwu caught.

Then Liu Fu, with a stern face, said to Ye Fengwu, "This is nonsense. Assaulting a parent at the school gate? You're going to jail."

Ye Fengwu replied coldly, "As a principal, shouldn't you inquire about what led to this? Your student verbally assaulted and maliciously humiliated my daughter. Is this what your education teaches?"

Liu Fu frowned deeply, puzzled, "You are Qin Jingsi's father? As far as I know, her father was a criminal. And the students are merely stating facts. Should I teach them how to lie instead?"

As a principal, Liu Fu showed no shame over the students' actions of humiliating another student but continued to emphasize that Jingsi was the daughter of a criminal, highlighting his moral decay.

What Ye Fengwu did not know was that originally, nobody in the school knew about Qin Qinghan's past. This was why she had chosen to send Jing Si to this school.

However, Liu Fu, as the principal, had heard of Qin Qinghan's story, and from the moment Qin Qinghan transferred Jing Si to the school, he had been captivated by her beauty.

Liu Fu, frustrated that Qin Qinghan would not give him any chance to get close to her, spitefully spread her tragic story to every parent and student at the school.

Today, when the man claiming to be Qin Qinghan's husband caused a scene, Liu Fu saw it as an opportunity to have him imprisoned. He believed this would force Qin Qinghan to plead with him, leaving her no choice but to comply with his demands.

Upon hearing this, Ye Fengwu's gaze turned icy as he responded sharply, "The truth? The truth is a criminal violated a poor woman, and instead of helping, you make her life worse. How are you any different from the criminal who destroyed her life?"

Ye Fengwu's words made many parents hang their heads in shame; indeed, Qin Qinghan had already suffered enough, and yet they continued to malign her. Their actions were no better than those of beasts.

From a distance, Qin Qinghan was deeply moved by Ye Fengwu's words. Despite being a criminal and known for his violence, he spoke with such heartfelt sincerity.

Liu Fu scoffed, "As the principal, I'm responsible for my students. I've been gracious enough to accept the daughter of a criminal as a student. Instead of being grateful, you dare assault a parent. I'm sending you to jail now."

As he said this, Liu Fu pulled out his phone to make a call, but before he could dial, a powerful grip seized his hand.

Crack!

Liu Fu yelped in pain as his phone screen shattered, the force of the grip terrifying him.

"Calling the police? If I'm going to jail anyway... might as well be worth it," Ye Fengwu said mockingly.

With another loud slap, Liu Fu's hefty body flew five meters across, crashing harshly onto the ground. The surrounding crowd could hear the sound of his nose and teeth breaking.

Liu Fu's screams were pitiful, with teeth scattered all around him and blood leaking from his ear, indicating a burst eardrum.
