Chapter 245

Ning Chen heard the sound of a slap.

"Can I go now?" a little girl's voice.

"You good-for-nothing. Next time I'll still beat you!" a boy's voice.

A moment of silence.

The boy suddenly felt as if his entire being had been elevated; his feet left the ground.

His back collar was grabbed, and he was lifted up.

He let out an "Ah," but his mouth was covered.

A cloud in the night sky just passed, and moonlight spilled down again.

Now, he could see clearly.

This was a boy of about ten, looking like a middle school student, also a member of the Fuli Academy.

He indeed held a fruit knife in his hand.

However, as his body was hoisted up, the fruit knife had already fallen to the ground.

Before, the one forced into the corner and subjected to violence was Zhang Xiao.

On the little girl's cheek was the mark of a slap, red and swollen.

At this moment, she was staring in terror at the boy being lifted up before her.

Because the moonlight suddenly appeared and she was looking straight into it, she could not see the tall figure behind the one lifting the boy.

But in an instant, she knew exactly who he was!

It was that person!

It was that big brother!

He had finally come back to find her!

Zhang Xiao had not cried before, even when slapped by that boy and threatened with a fruit knife.

But at this moment, hot tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.

"Ah—what are you doing—who?! Let me go..." The boy, afraid of being heard, lowered his voice and struggled constantly.

But the person holding him paid him no attention at all.

Instead, he said, "How he just hit you, you can hit back now."

These words were spoken to Zhang Xiao.

Zhang Xiao stared at that guy being lifted up.

"Don't be afraid, be brave. Just go ahead and act; I can guarantee that when you act—"

"Bang!"

Zhang Xiao, from somewhere, produced half a brick.

She smashed it directly onto that boy's face!

The figure behind, who was holding the boy, also froze for a moment...

That boy, his eyes blurred by the brick strike, his face burning with pain, felt fear instantly flood his entire being; he actually began to cry out loud.

His lower back loosened.

He was thrown onto the ground.

Zhang Xiao rushed forward and kicked him hard in the stomach!

Bang!

Then, she turned her head and ran toward the gate of the Fuli Academy.

The old guard in the security room was dozing off and noticed nothing at all.

Ning Chen bent down, looking at the boy on the ground; his face was twisted, showing that that brick and that kick had been ruthless enough.

Ning Chen turned around and walked out as well.

After a few steps, he thought of something and came back.

The boy on the ground looked at him in horror, "You..."

Ning Chen also kicked him once, then left.

In the courtyard, only that boy lying on the ground remained.

The pain in his body could not conceal the confusion in his heart...

Ning Chen walked out of the Fuli Academy.

He looked around, but did not see her again.

He walked toward the direction of his motorhome parked not far away.

Zhang Xiao had once sat in that black motorhome of his.

So Ning Chen thought she should be here by the motorhome.

But opening the driver's seat door of the motorhome, inside there was only a frowning dog.

She didn't come?

Ning Chen turned around again and looked at the surroundings.

Indeed, he could not find her.

She really ran fast.

However, one really couldn't tell.

This little girl's strike was quite ruthless.

She smashed that brick down without hesitation.

If that kick had been a bit lower, that guy would have had no happiness for the rest of his life.

Ning Chen only wanted to say, "Well done."

He looked around once more.

Her figure was still nowhere to be seen.

Ning Chen had no habit of waiting for people; since that was the case, he had other matters to attend to and decided to leave.

He got into the motorhome and started the engine.

The motorhome's two headlights switched on, and the vehicle drove forward.

After traveling about twenty meters, it began to accelerate.

Suddenly, a small figure rushed out directly from the roadside!

Ning Chen slammed on the brakes; the front of the car stopped less than a meter from that figure.

It was only a hair's breadth from a collision.

Ning Chen looked at the small figure before the car.

That little girl, illuminated brightly by the headlights, stood with her arms spread wide, blocking the front of the motorhome.

Ning Chen looked at her.

She looked at Ning Chen inside the car, her lips pressed tightly shut.

Suddenly, she cried out—

"You said! When you came back to find me, if I was willing, you would take me away!"

Ning Chen looked at her ahead.

"You said so!"

She shouted loudly, her eyes turning red.

Ning Chen looked at her ahead.

"I don't like this place! I hate everyone here! I also hate school! You said so! You must keep your word!"

The little girl's childish voice echoed in the night.

For a long time.

She stood there motionless.

She had been waiting for a reply from the person inside the car.

The car door.

Clicked open with a crack.

Zhang Xiao's eyes lit up, and a surge of intense joy welled up in her heart.

She ran toward the open door of the motorhome.
