Chapter 370: Stand Up for Us!

Seeing the girl bump her head on a pillar, the student who had pushed her flinched, just as he was about to reach out to help her up, his own back of the head was suddenly struck hard.

The pain made him instantly clench his teeth, leap up, clutch his back of the head and look at Lu Cheng.

He originally thought it was some classmate playing a joke, but it turned out to be a stranger.

He furrowed his brows and demanded, "Who are you, daring to hit even me!"

The one questioning Lu Cheng was Wu Yang, who held considerable prestige among the third-year students and was also a candidate for class president this time, the most likely to win.

When Wu Yang was hit, a number of classmates immediately rushed out and surrounded Lu Cheng.

One of them seemed to recognize Lu Cheng: "Wu Yang, this guy seems to be a second-year candidate."

There was only one candidate in the second year, namely Lu Cheng, so when someone recognized him, Wu Yang glanced again at the girl who had come to canvass and instantly got it.

"Fine, so it was you who sent her to campaign, coming to our class to campaign is one thing, but you still dared to hit me? That's a crime on top of a crime! If you don't clear this up today, you won't get away."

Wu Yang finished speaking, and immediately a few more classmates stepped forward.

Lu Cheng merely gave a disdainful glance; regarding what Wu Yang said—that he had sent Yang Yin to canvass the third-year—Lu Cheng was too lazy to explain.

In fact, even he himself didn't know why Yang Yin suddenly came to campaign, the key being that she was still campaigning for him, even though she had just expressed doubt about his run for class president.

But regardless, Yang Yin did indeed come to campaign for him, so Lu Cheng could not stand by.

Gesturing toward Yang Yin, who was sitting on the ground repeatedly sniffing, Lu Cheng said, "You're the ones who made the first move; what kind of skill is it to bully a little girl?"

Wu Yang, seeing him change the subject, said unhappily, "It was clearly you who came to our third-year to campaign first. I didn't let her campaign, yet she wouldn't listen! Besides, I only accidentally pushed her down; an apology would suffice, so why did you hit me!"

Lu Cheng snorted, "You knocked someone down, they bumped a pillar, and a single apology settles it? So the three words 'I'm sorry' are that powerful!"

When Wu Yang thought he was being forced into sophistry, just as he was about to speak, Lu Cheng's slap struck again, and as he slapped he kept saying "I'm sorry."

After saying "I'm sorry" over a dozen times, Wu Yang also received a solid dozen slaps on the head, causing him to clutch his head, scream loudly, and retreat.

Originally, Yang Yin had bumped the back of her head, the pain was severe, and tears of grievance streamed down; seeing Lu Cheng slap someone while saying "I'm sorry," she suddenly found it very funny.

With a 'Pfft' sound, Yang Yin didn't know whether she was crying or laughing.

But when she tried to reach for the back of her head and then pulled her hand back, bright red blood on her palm made her burst into tears again.

"Wow… it's bleeding…"

Lu Cheng, trained in martial arts, already had great hand strength; the continuous slaps left Wu Yang unable to open his eyes.

The classmates behind hurried to pull Lu Cheng, but the guy was as fierce as a bull and could not be restrained.

When Lu Cheng heard the girl's loud sobbing, he glanced and saw the fresh blood on her palm, realizing the bump was quite serious, and immediately stopped beating Wu Yang.

"How about it, are you okay?" Lu Cheng helped Yang Yin to her feet; when he saw the back of her head covered in blood, he was startled.

"Ow, it hurts, it's bleeding, will it leave a scar?"

Lu Cheng was speechless; at this moment, he shouldn't be thinking about scarring before stopping the bleeding.

"Come on, I'll take you to the infirmary to get you bandaged."

Lu Cheng was about to walk away while supporting Yang Yin when he realized he couldn't leave.

Those dozen slaps, Lu Cheng didn't even exert much force; Wu Yang felt his brain as if it had exploded, first throbbing painfully, then becoming dizzy, and even his vision was double.

After a while, he forced himself to stand, then shouted in angry humiliation.

"Take him down for me!"

Seeing a dozen students rush forward, Yang Yin was frightened.

Mainly there were only two of them on this side, and crucially she was injured; otherwise they could have blocked at least one.

But even so, Lu Cheng still had to fight a dozen, which he couldn't possibly beat.

Yang Yin immediately thought of someone; didn't her father say he was teaching the third-year today?

She instantly gained confidence, ignoring the pain in the back of her head, rushed to the front, spread her arms, shielded Lu Cheng behind her, and said.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Lu Cheng was stunned for a moment, watching the youthful girl's fierce demeanor, and could only find it amusing.

He had always been the protector, like for his older sister; back in school everyone knew his sister had a reckless brother who fought without fear, and no one ever dared to trouble his sister.

Today… he was the one being protected by a little kid.

Even Wu Yang was so angry he laughed: "We don't hit girls. I advise you to step aside quickly, lest you get splattered with blood later."

Yang Yin wrinkled her nose: "Who are you looking down on? I should be the one telling you to let us go, otherwise I'll call my dad."

Wu Yang, hearing that, laughed even louder: "Now you know to call an adult? Too late! If you won't leave, we'll beat you together, go ahead."

As Wu Yang swung his hand, a few classmates immediately raised their fists and struck forward.

Yang Yin was instantly terrified, shrieking, clutching her head, and even closed her eyes.

However, the imagined fists never landed; instead she heard the others crying out in pain.

She tried to open one eye while the other stayed tightly shut, which was enough for her to see the situation clearly.

She saw Lu Cheng swiftly throw a punch, followed by a side kick, easily knocking the first few rushers down.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Yang Yin opened her little mouth in awe.

Wu Yang also didn't expect Lu Cheng to dare resist so many, and crucially to strike them down with no way to counter.

This made Wu Yang somewhat enraged; there were a dozen of them on this side, how could they possibly not be able to beat even one person?

Little did they know, even a dozen strong laborers were no match for Lu Cheng, let alone these scholars who were as weak as chickens.

Lu Cheng's attacks on them were a one-sided crush.

"Wow, so impressive." Yang Yin hopped and clapped, but with that jump the back of her head throbbed again.

Lu Cheng finally delivered a kick, sending another person crashing into the classroom, toppling desks and chairs.

Wu Yang, struggling to get up, realized the disparity, but he didn't stop there; instead he shouted loudly, "Quick, call the Security Department!"

Wu Yang was unwilling to be beaten like this, so he immediately tried to summon the Security Department, hoping to make a big fuss; after all, Lu Cheng was the one attacking them, perhaps they could use this to disqualify Lu Cheng's candidacy.

At that moment, a female classmate watching the spectacle suddenly shouted, "The teacher is coming."

The teacher's here? The teacher arrived just in time.

Wu Yang immediately pretended to be seriously injured; only then could the teacher step in and cancel Lu Cheng's candidate.

"What's going on? The class bell has already rung, why is everyone gathered here?"

A student stepped aside for the arriving teacher and said, "Professor Yang, there's a fight."

Upon hearing that it was Professor Yang—one of the Student Committee judges—Wu Yang instantly gained confidence.

"Professor Yang, you have to stand up for us; this sophomore is attacking us."
