Do you want to go home?

She glanced down at her shoes and when she noticed her hands were trembling, she grabbed onto her pinafore tightly to stop them.

He was right. They could not save her.

The dirty cop that she talked to was right.

The Ye, Luo, and Shangguan Family would just pressed everything down or they would turned it against her.

No matter what she did, with her current position, no one would believe her. In this world, the strong would always trample on the weak.

If she had made a report, they would think that she was the one who asked for it.

That she voluntarily slept with them and tried to get something out of this.

A poor scholarship student versus the sons of ministers. It was easy to see who the people would believe in.

Ye Tian played with her hair as he continued, "You know, I'm surprised that your family did not do anything."

When he saw her lack of expression, he realized that she did not tell her family.

"Color me intrigued, Little Kai Xin. You tried to tell the police but not your own family? Here I thought you and Kai An were tight. Looks like I was wrong."

"Kai An?" muttered Kai Xin.

She thought, "Even if they are friends, why would he mentioned Kai An?"

She chuckled ruefully when she finally realized why they targeted her.

It was not because of her being at the wrong place at the wrong time.

They planned this. They wanted to get back at her brother.

Kai An, as a scholarship student, managed to win against all odds and obtained the prestigious position of the President of Student Council.

It was a position that both Luo Yin and Ye Tian wanted.

They were probably embarrassed at the loss. Of all people, they lost to poor student.

Finding a bravery that she never knew existed, she laughed at him, "You guys want to use me to get to him? I would never let you succeed."

Ye Tian stared at her as he thought incredulously, "How did she find out?"

He smiled and shook his head as he thought to himself, "Then again...She was a smart one like her brother."

Laughing out loud, he completely ignored the fact that they were in a library and that the people who were studying there were glaring at their direction.

Suddenly placing his hands on her throat, he massaged it as he whispered,

"Little Kai Xin, you are right. You are just the means to an end. Your brother should have live a quieter life that befits someone of his rank. He should not have fought for something that was not meant for him."

When he tightened his grip on her throat, she clawed against his hands as she fought for her life.

Once he was happy with her reactions, he released her.

Before he left, he warned, "Listen to me. You lowly Zhens should keep a low profile. This is not your world to stand out in."

As she watched his receding back, she coughed out weakly, "I-I would g-get you b-back!"

With tears falling down her cheeks, she hit her thighs hard hoping that the pain would help her in getting her focus back.

Wiping her tears away, she kept telling herself, "I would definitely pay them back."

....

Back in the car, Kai Xin gripped her pants tightly as she whispered, "I would pay them back."

From the corner of his eyes, DX glanced at her and noticed that she was thinking about something.

She had been quiet the entire journey and it worried him. It felt as if she was about to be taken away from him.

Once he was sure that it was safe to stop, he pulled over.

Taking her cold hand in his, he asked, "Do you want to go home, Kara?"

Kai Xin shook her head. She did not want to deal with her family at the moment.

He held her face in his right palm as he asked gently, "Let's go to my place, alright?"

She nodded as she rubbed her right cheek against his warm palm.
