Chapter 156: Yes, we are worthless people who don't need to be dealt with by you.
Zhang Jian's family wouldn't cause too much of a problem for the school. But Lu Chen's family is a whole different matter. If they find out, the school will lose at least a third of its funding.
The gym Lao Shi understood what the other Lao Shi is talking about. He turns to Feng Meifeng, "Student Feng, can you help me carry student Lu Chen to the nurse's office?" Even though he's a teacher, he still had to be respectful to Lu Chen due to his father. And having heard about Lu Chen's arrogant attitude from other Lao Shi's, he lets Feng Meifeng carry him instead. Lu Chen is leaning on her, so the gym Lao shi thought the two of them are close.
Feng Meifeng nods her head as she asks Lu Chen, "Is it ok for me to carry you by the shoulders?" The position they're in is too uncomfortable and embarrassing. Walking to the nurse's office in that position would look like Lu Chen is being dragged like a ragged doll.
But she didn't get an answer from him. Lu Chen got off of Feng Meifeng's chest as he looks elsewhere. He focuses on something else as he asks, "What do we do about them?" The thugs are still on the floor, kneeling there obediently. Lu Chen hasn't forgotten about them at all.
What Lu Chen didn't know is that the thugs couldn't move. Their legs turned into jelly when Lu Chen had stared at them with killing intent. And plus, with kneeling for such a long time, their legs fell asleep too. If it weren't for that, they would have definitely made a ran for it.
One of the Lao Shi answers him, "Don't worry, student Lu Chen. We have called the police, and they're on their way here." When Feng Meifeng had explained the situation to them, they immediately called the police to deal with the situation. At first, they thought they could hide from the public, but with so many students watching and Lu Chen being the one in this mess made it a different story. It's not a situation in which they can keep under wraps.
It's a surprise for them that the thugs haven't run away when he took his eyes off of them.
The moment Lu Chen turns his head towards them, one of the thugs immediately smashes his head to the ground, "We are so sorry! Somebody had paid us to come here! We won't ever do this again and will turn ourselves to the police! So please, just let us go!" He isn't alone as the others begin to bow their heads as well. They have only two choices: Lu Chen or the police. From how ferocious Lu Chen was, the other potion is a safe haven away from this hell!
All thoughts about continuing to be thugs are out of their minds. Lu Chen had beaten it out of them. One of them even had this thought; if I get a second chance, I should just become a farmer and live far away from here.
Do you think I'm stupid? Lu Chen didn't believe a single word they had said. With how much they bragged, he would be a fool to believe it. Before he could reject them, Feng Meifeng suggests, "How about we just let the police deal with the matter instead, Lu Chen? You lost a lot of blood, and your injuries need to be tended to." Feng Meifeng knew that the thugs need to be punished for attack them. However, if she has to choose between dealing with the thugs or treating Lu Chen's wounds, she would choose the latter as it's more important. Lu Chen looks like he's about to fall to the ground if somebody pushes him gently.
The thugs look at Feng Meifeng like she's a goddess. No, she's already their goddess, even if they don't know what she thinks about them. Her words are like the salvation they need from getting executed by that ruthless executioner.
However, the ruthless executioner is giving a weird look. He still didn't want to let them go. Feng Meifeng continues to insist, "Please don't waste your time on something so unimportant like them." The thugs nod their heads in agreement. Yes, we are worthless people who don't need to be dealt with by you.
