Mutual destruction—no gain, only loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll handle it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Xianning hung up the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Lv Qiang calmly, he said, \"This isn’t the place to talk. Follow me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the east gate had fewer passersby, the commotion caused by the group had already attracted the attention of some onlookers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lv Qiang frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Xianning smirked coldly, \"What? Afraid?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Rong Xianning exchanged a discreet glance with Xiao Hu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The comment clearly provoked Lv Qiang. He scoffed coldly, \"Afraid of what? I’d love to see what other tricks you can pull.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver pulled the RV around. Rong Xianning glanced at Shen You’an, \"An’an, I’ll send you home first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen You’an shook her head, \"Your matter takes priority. I’m going with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Xianning frowned, \"Coming with me is dangerous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen You’an gave Xiao Hu a sidelong glance, \"Isn’t he here? A world champion in freestyle fighting should be capable of handling a few people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Hu looked at Shen You’an in slight surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How does she know?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Shen You’an’s firm attitude and trusting Xiao Hu’s capability, Rong Xianning nodded, \"Get in the car first. Sit by the window.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After getting into the car, Shen You’an chose a seat at the very back. Rong Xianning joined her, sitting beside her. When Xiao Hu stepped forward to board, Lv Qiang darted in ahead of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lv Qiang’s men piled into a dilapidated van.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Hu ordered the driver, \"Head to Xin’an Old Residence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver started the car and drove away. The battered van tailed them relentlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lv Qiang asked, \"What’s Xin’an Old Residence?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Hu shot him a glance, the corner of his mouth curling into a sinister smirk, \"You’ll find out once we get there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that point, Lv Qiang began to calm down and realized he might have been tricked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately reached for the car door handle, but the driver had locked it. He couldn’t budge it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cold sweat trickled down Lv Qiang’s back: \"What are you trying to do? I’m warning you—Rong Yuhe is still in my hands. If you dare lay a finger on me, he’s dead meat—ahhhh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gut-wrenching scream erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lv Qiang stared at his wrist, now bent at a ninety-degree angle, the sharp crack of snapping bone echoing through the car. He writhed in agony, his face twisted in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a low voice, Xiao Hu muttered, \"No one threatens me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Xianning stole a cautious glance at Shen You’an. Inside the dim cabin, the girl’s face remained stoic, as if the violent scene unfolding before her was nothing out of the ordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car drove for twenty minutes, the scenery outside the window growing increasingly desolate, until it finally stopped in front of a rundown factory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battered van halted right behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Hu kicked Lv Qiang out of the vehicle. Lv Qiang rolled across the ground, clutching his sides in pain and letting out pitiful moans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss.\" Several burly men emerged from the van. Witnessing the scene, they clenched their fists, their rage palpable, and charged at Xiao Hu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing four hulking men rushing toward Xiao Hu, any observer would reasonably fear for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Hu glanced back toward the car where Shen You’an and Rong Xianning were seated, \"You two stay inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, a devil-may-care smile tugged at his lips as he slowly rolled up his sleeves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In barely a minute, the four burly men were sprawled on the ground, groaning in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Hu stomped on one man’s head and looked over at Lv Qiang, who stood a short distance away, smirking disdainfully, \"A bunch of fools who don’t know their place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lv Qiang’s eyes burned with rage. Those henchmen of his were solid fighters—he never imagined they’d be utterly demolished in such a short span, completely outmatched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was his own oversight; who could’ve imagined Rong Xianning’s bodyguard to be so formidable, capable of taking on ten men singlehandedly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lv Qiang shouted at Rong Xianning, \"Rong Yuhe is still in my hands. If you’ve got the guts, then kill me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Xianning stepped off the car, approaching Lv Qiang. Standing tall, he looked down at Lv Qiang, who lay battered and humiliated on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve told you before, I severed ties with Rong Yuhe long ago. Did you fail to understand that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy’s face was expressionless, his eyes icy, exuding an inexplicable chill.\u003C\u002Fp>",771,"2026-06-06T12:23:57.768Z",1,"novelbin.me","35cd247087a046417539be209dff8dec1bf35cb59a5a3c432beef2aa5cf740e7","drama-queen-reborn-as-a-top-student-chapter-817","drama-queen-reborn-as-a-top-student-chapter-815",1154,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdrama-queen-reborn-as-a-top-student-cover.jpg"]
