Chapter 001: The Female Ghost

  Two people strolled around on the street for a while and then sat down at a roadside stall selling cold drinks, ordering two cups of iced tea.

  During this time, some irrelevant words were said, and no one else said anything more.

  After a while, Xie Yuting went to the restroom in the back.

  Yang Hua was deep in thought alone there, wondering if this Miss Qianjin had asked him out not to express her affection but because of the bangle.

  Yang Hua felt something was off, but now this beauty seemed as if she didn't eat or drink anything worldly, what to do?

  Yang Hua, who was thinking about this, suddenly heard the laughter of three or five men coming from behind.

  Only a duck's voice was heard saying: "Beauty, would you like to have a drink?"

  Another guy with a non-standard Mandarin accent said: "Yeah, beautiful girl, accompany us for a few cold drinks and dissipate some heat?"

  Yang Hua turned her head and saw that four thugs in flashy clothes were surrounding Xie Yuting in the bathroom.

  Yang Huali immediately rushed over with one arrow step.

  Xie Yuting glared fiercely at the thugs, having only seen them on TV or in movies before. She never thought she'd actually encounter one, but still unafraid, she cursed: "Thugs, get out."

  One of them, wearing a black short-sleeved shirt with yellow-dyed hair, had a cigarette in his mouth and said, "Hey, it's still pretty spicy? The spicier the better."

  The three next to him burst out laughing together.

  Another guy with a hairdo that looked like it had been struck by lightning said, "Beautiful girl, don't be like this, okay? Accompany us for a night and have some fun?" As he spoke, his lecherous eyes scanned back and forth over Xie Yuting's plump breasts.

  "Get out of here, you bunch of thugs."

  Xie Yuting was still a young girl after all. In the past, who dared to say such words in front of her? But at this moment, her small face turned pale with fear.

  "What are you doing?" Yang Hua rushed over and blocked Xie Yuting's way.

  Xie Yuting saw Yang Hua coming over, just like seeing a lifesaver, and hid behind Yang Hua like a small bird. Although Yang Hua's momentum was not bad, he took one look at the four people opposite him, all of whom were notorious thugs in this area. He thought to himself that they were outnumbered, and if it really came down to a fight, he would be in trouble. But then he thought again, getting beaten up was a small matter, but Xie Yuting absolutely could not be bullied by these bastards. If that happened, he might as well die.

  "Halt, has the hero come to rescue the beauty?" The fellow with the yellow hair then burst out laughing, revealing a mouthful of big yellow teeth.

  The three guys next to him also burst out laughing.

  "Listen up, pal! You'd better get as far away from me as possible. Don't make us lose our temper."

  Yang Hua looked at several thugs, secretly sighing in his heart, what to do?

  But still putting on a fearless and unyielding attitude, he said: "If you're men, come at me, what kind of man bullies women?"

  Lian Yanghua himself didn't even realize he had said those words.

  "Just listen to that yellow hair glance at Yang Hua: 'You damn well, stop pretending to be a hero in front of me, or else I'll make you become a bear.'"

  As soon as he finished speaking, those guys all started laughing.

  Xie Yuting behind him had seen this kind of rogue before, and her small face turned even paler.

  Yang Hua secretly thought it was not good, it seemed that today's matter was 100% settled, unfortunately, today, he was alone against four people, and indeed a bit difficult to handle, and behind him was the weak and frail Xie Yuting.

  When he was in school, it was said that there was a group of hooligans in the city who specialized in bullying female students. In school, last year, it was said that a third-year female student was bullied by hooligans and was stripped naked and thrown onto the street. The police investigated for several months but couldn't find out who did it. In the end, the girl jumped to her death from the dormitory building.

  Yang Hua inexplicably thought of this and was even more worried in her heart.

  But these four guys in front of me are indeed a bit difficult to deal with.

  "What the hell is wrong with you?" The blond suddenly said.

  Bang.

  With one punch, Yang Hua knew the rule of hitting a snake at seven inches and hitting a person in the eye first. He knew that today's fight was settled, so now the only thing he could do was to go all out and hit this guy who seemed to be the leader first.

  "Ah"

  A blood-curdling scream.

  Yang Hua's fist solidly hit the guy's eye.

  The several thugs beside him did not think that this guy really wanted to fight, and they were stunned for a moment.

  Then he started scolding loudly: Are you looking for death?

  As soon as he finished speaking, several fists flew towards Yang Hua's face.

  Yang Hua punched one of them first, but ultimately couldn't dodge in time and was hit in the face by the guy wearing a plaid shirt. His body stumbled, almost falling to the ground.

  "Ah"

  Xie Yuting saw them really fighting and was so scared that she cried out loud.

  Yang Hua was secretly called unlucky, but still got up.

  The guy with the hair roots that were struck by lightning came over again, and Yang Hua suddenly hugged his leg. The guy didn't expect it, was stunned for a moment, then Yang Hua used force and threw him to the ground, but got kicked several times in the process.

  "Beat him to death. Beat this son of a bitch to death. Fuck your mother." The yellow-haired guy was beaten until his eyes were covered, and he was now squatting there, covering his eyes with one hand, but still cursing in his mouth.

  Yang Hua was ultimately no match for the four-handed attack, and at this moment he was being strangled from behind by the flower-patterned sleeve, while the two guys in front of him were punching his face with alternating fists.

  A mouthful of blood spurted out from Yang Hua's mouth.

  The man in the floral shirt suddenly knocked Yang Hua to the ground, and the three of them trampled on Yang Hua's head and body with their feet.

  Yang Hua covered his head with both hands and could only endure the beating.

  Xie Yuting behind him was so scared that she burst into tears: "Stop fighting, stop fighting."

  The more she cried, the harder those thugs beat her.

  The place next door was suddenly surrounded by many people, but those people seemed to be just watching the excitement, and no one went up to help.

  At this time, the yellow dog squatting on the ground walked over with a resentful expression.

  "Are you looking for death?"

  As soon as he finished speaking, one foot kicked Yang Hua's body.

  He walked forward, one hand grasped Yang Hua's hair, and before he could react, Yang Hua didn't know where the strength came from, but suddenly pressed him to the ground.

  The yellow fur that was pressed to the ground let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered, and Yang Hua's mouth was biting into its shoulder.

  "Pull him out, pull him out." The yellow-haired one shouted.

  The several hooligans behind were pulling Yang Hua's body with all their might, while punching his head with their fists.

  But Yang Hua didn't show any sign of loosening up, blood flowed out from Yang Hua's mouth, and the yellow-haired man's shoulder was actually pinched until it bled.

  At this critical moment, a sudden voice shouted "Halt!"

  Only to see in the field a few tall guys appeared out of nowhere.

  Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the four-eyed guy from this morning's class, with two tall guys standing next to him who looked like they were part of the school basketball team.

  "Wang Wei." Xie Yuting suddenly called out, crying as she ran towards the four-eyed man, like a frightened little bird that had suddenly found its owner, and flung herself into his arms.

  The four-eyed man gently wrapped his arms around Xie Yuting's shaking body and looked at the scene in front of him, saying softly: "Xiao Ting, are you okay?"

  Xie Yuting nodded lightly in the arms of the four-eyed man.

  "Quickly help Yang Hua, quickly!" Xie Yuting only realized now that Yang Hua was still entangled with those thugs.

  At this time, Yang Hua had already sent away Huang Mao's flesh, with blood flowing from his mouth, and his clothes were all torn apart. Although he was down on his luck, his eyes were filled with painful gaze at Xie Yuting who was leaning in the arms of Four Eyes.

  Was it all just a one-sided wish? Was Xie Yuting really the girlfriend of that four-eyed man? Thinking about this, a feeling of utter despair suddenly rose up in my heart.

  At this moment, for him, the physical pain is far less than the mental pain.

  The four-eyed man didn't make a sound, he just gently pushed Xie Yuting out of his arms and walked towards the thugs who were still standing there in a daze.

  "You bunch of trash."

  A tall guy of about 190 cm stared fiercely at those hooligans who were still arrogant just now.

  A few thugs who still didn't understand what was going on, the four-eyed man's fist greeted the face of the man in the loud plaid shirt first.

  Ah!

  A few thugs were no match for these big men of the basketball team and soon they were all knocked to the ground.

  "Yang Hua, Yang Hua, are you okay?" Xie Yuting rushed over to Yang Hua, who was bent over and clutching his stomach.

  Her hand had just touched Yang Hua when he suddenly struggled free, hunching over: "Nothing's wrong."

  Xie Yuting was stunned there, a tear rolled out from the corner of her eye.

  She didn't understand what was going on. How could her genuine concern be met with his cold words?

  Yang Hua didn't go see her again, and only faintly said: "Now...now it's all over, you're safe too, I'm leaving."

  He struggled to finish the sentence and then limped forward with a hobble.

  "Yang Hua." Xie Yuting's tears fell like a broken string of pearls, and as she gazed at his figure, she wanted to say something but ultimately held back.

  The tallest boy with a slightly wooden expression chased after him, looking at the limping figure and asked with concern: "Classmate, why don't you go to the school infirmary to take a look?"

  Yang Hua didn't turn around and said lightly: "I'm fine, just need some rest."

  The tall man didn't say another word. The crowd watched as he limped away, slowly disappearing into the distance.

  Xie Yuting, standing there, was in tears at this moment.

  The four-eyed man beside him didn't say a word from start to finish, but looked at Yang Hua's back and then glanced at Xie Yuting, with a complex expression in his eyes.

  The people around who had come to see the excitement all dispersed quickly after they were done watching.

  Only the tallest guy said: "Wang Wei, you take Xiaoting to school first."

  The bespectacled man named Wang Wei nodded in response and silently walked to the front of Xie Yuting. Xie Yuting gazed at Yang Hua, who had already disappeared from view, a tear rolled out of her eye socket, but she quickly wiped it away and turned around to follow Wang Wei.

  A farce ended in silence.

  Collecting, recommending, golden bricks...
