Chapter 505: Such a Scary Thing

Translator: Atlas Studios    Editor: Atlas Studios

When Lu Ning went to school the next morning, she passed by the alley leading to Li Nian’s house. She could not help but take a peek inside.

However, all she heard were a few old grannies sitting against the wall and chatting.

The weather was quite good today, so they might be getting some sun.

Lu Ning did not want anything from them, but just as she was about to leave, she could not help but stop. “Did you hear it?”

“l heard it. Such a scary thing.”

“He kept shouting for help. I was so frightened that I covered my ears.”

“Fortunately, someone told us in advance. Otherwise, I would really have gone out to take a look.”

“Who do you think that boy provoked? He’s already been arrested, but they aren’t letting him off. They even beat him up outside his own home.”

“That person must be some ruthless character. I guess he offended somebody up there. Otherwise, why would they just watch him get beaten up like this? I checked the time yesterday, it went on for a whole half hour, and his shouting never stopped. It’s so scary.”

“What kind of deep-seated hatred do you think they have? To beat him up like that.”

“If you ask me, he deserves it. That girl Nian!nian has suffered so much from the two of them. 1 suppose someone’s finally avenged her.”

“That’s true. That child’s life will be better in the future.’

“Right, but it’s still scary. Even just thinking about it makes me shiver. Later on, 1 secretly looked out of the window, and 1 think I saw him being dragged out by two people. It looks like he fainted. I don’t know if he has been beaten to death.’

“l don’t think so. They still have to report to the higher-ups, right?”

Lu Ning did not listen to the rest. Lu Qing had driven over and was calling for her.

As Lu Ning got into the car, Huo Jinyan’s face popped into her mind for no reason.

Who had the ability to beat Li Lang up like that?

She could not think of anyone else but Huo Jinyan.

Ifit’s him, why did he beat him up?

Was it for me?

Lu Qing looked at Lu Nings expression in the mirror and said softly, “Wait for me after school. I’ll pick you up.”

Lu Ning did not turn and kept looking out the window. “There’s no need. You don’t have to pick me up every day.”

However, Lu Qing said, “No, I have to pick you up.”

As if he did not want Lu Ning to keep refuting, Lu Qing added bluntly, “If you don’t let me pick you up, I’ll tell Mom and Dad everything.” Lu Ning:

She stopped talking. Lu Qing smiled and also stopped talking.

When they arrived at the school gate, Lu Ning got out of the car. Lu Qing even reminded Lu Ning to wait for him after school before he left.

Lu Ning walked straight into the school, but she saw Huo Jinyan in the school building. However, Huo Jinyan did not see her as he walked up the stairs.

Lu Ning stood where she was and did not move, She acutely sensed that something was wrong with his hands.

Huo Jinyan’s left and right knuckles were wrapped in gauze. It looked like he was injured.

Lu Ning frowned slightly.

During class, she could see them more clearly. Huo Jinyan’s hands were indeed injured, and she could even see a little bit of blood seeping out. Lu Ning watched in silence and went to the infirmary during recess.

There were a few first year girls in the infirmary.

Gu Chen was reminding them about something. Lu Ning stood by the door after she entered and did not disturb them.

After giving them instructions, the juniors turned around and walked out. When they turned around, they were stunned to see Lu Ning.

Then, they immediately walked to Lu Nings side excitedly. “Senior! Senior Lu Ning!’

Lu Ning subconsciously took a step back and looked at them.

“Hello.”

“Hello, Senior! Can we, can we take a photo with you?”

Lu Ning was stunned for a moment, but she was too embarrassed to refuse. She ended up taking a few photos with them in the infirmary.

The few junior girls ran away happily, as if they had recovered fully from whatever ailed them..
