Chapter 698: Encountering Off-Campus Bullying!

"Let's go, I'll treat you to a late-night snack! There's a small place near the school, the taste is especially good, and the key is it's delicious and not expensive!"

"I heard Dayu Women's High School is having a hard time, and you haven't been paid for several months, so let me treat you instead!"

Huang Sitian rolled her eyes at Tang Ye, annoyed: "Looking down on me, are you? I can still afford a meal!"

Tang Ye came to find Huang Sitian mainly to understand the actual situation at Dayu Women's High School.

Although he hadn't been in touch with Huang Sitian for a long time, he could still feel that rare simplicity in her.

Arriving at the restaurant, Huang Sitian ordered two bowls of pita bread soaked in soup. Afraid that Tang Ye wouldn't know how to eat it, she helped him tear the bread into small pieces and sprinkled it with bright, colorful chili oil and chopped green onions.

Tang Ye took a taste; the broth was rich and stimulated his taste buds, instantly whetting his appetite.

"The taste is not bad."

"Of course, could anything I recommend be bad?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, the atmosphere relaxed.

After eating and drinking their fill, Tang Ye walked Huang Sitian back to the school dormitory.

Huang Sitian only felt her heart thumping wildly. She knew she had feelings for Tang Ye, but she also understood that Tang Ye probably only saw her as a friend—otherwise, he wouldn't have gone so long without contacting her.

"Teacher Huang, teaching must be quite tiring, right?"

Huang Sitian smiled slightly: "Most of the time it's very fulfilling. When I first applied to this high school, I thought it was particularly novel—I didn't expect a women's high school to be hidden in a mountain hollow.

At first, when I came here to work, I was very unaccustomed to it, but over time, I got used to it. The teachers who work here with me are all moved by the spirit of the Principal.

This school is held up entirely by her alone. Her philosophy is not to give up on any child. In order to give every girl a chance to walk out of the mountains, she has put in too much effort."

Tang Ye hadn't expected the Principal to receive such high praise from Huang Sitian, and he said softly: "The Principal is indeed a person with personal charisma."

"Yes, when there's an opportunity, I'll introduce you to her. She is a very good person; we all call her Mother Jin in private."

Tang Ye was speechless for a moment.

He had originally thought that Jin Chunping had already told Huang Sitian about his identity.

But now it seemed that Huang Sitian didn't know his specific identity at all.

Tang Ye didn't feel it was appropriate to take the initiative to clarify his identity, thinking to himself, let it just take its natural course.

At this moment, Huang Sitian continued: "The teachers in our school fall into two categories. One category is the students that Teacher Jin taught back then—they applied for teaching majors after the college entrance exam, and upon graduation, they returned to their alma mater to follow Teacher Jin and fulfill the same dream;

The other category is people who want to add some experience to their lives by volunteering to teach, but under the influence of Teacher Jin, they have all felt the true great love of humanity."

"Teacher Huang, then which category do you belong to?" Tang Ye asked with a smile.

"What do you think?" Huang Sitian asked back with a smile.

"I guess you are the second category."

"Why do you say that?"

"No reason, just a hunch." Tang Ye answered with a smile.

Huang Sitian was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "Your hunch is quite accurate."

After the two finished their meal, Tang Ye said with a smile, "Next time you're free, I'll treat you to a meal."

Huang Sitian said happily, "Alright, don't you forget. I'll wait for your notification."

The two parted ways at the entrance of the restaurant.

Watching Tang Ye leave, a smile appeared on the corner of Huang Sitian's mouth.

So Tang Ye still remembered her.

This was already very good!

Passing by a small alley, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.

The sound of a girl sobbing and begging for mercy reached her ears intermittently.

It was around eight o'clock in the evening, and the public security in the county town was not particularly good.

Huang Sitian still gathered her courage and followed the sound.

In the dark alley, several figures were moving under the dim light.

Besides the girl's crying, there was also the sound of men cursing.

"Stop hitting me, I'll give you the money." The girl begged bitterly.

"Bitch, wouldn't it have been better to be obedient earlier?" The boy cursed.

The girl tremblingly took the money out of her pocket.

The leader snatched the money, counted it, and then patted the girl's face: "How come there's so little? Bring me more tomorrow, or else just wait and see!"

The girl's eyes were red as she said softly: "This money is what I secretly took from home; my mother has already started to suspect. If I keep taking money, she will definitely find out, and I'll be beaten to death by her then."

The bad boy grinned and threatened her in a hooligan-like manner: "I don't care how you get it! Either get beaten to death by your parents, or get dealt with by us, weigh it out yourself!"

Huang Sitian realized what was happening.

This was encountering bullying outside of school.

"What are you doing? Hurry up and give the money back to her!"

The leading boy swept a disdainful glance at Huang Sitian: "I'm asking her for some pocket money, and she's giving it willingly, don't you meddle in other people's business!"

Huang Sitian looked at the girl, who was curled up in fear, and said softly but firmly: "You are committing a crime! I advise you to return the money immediately, or I will call the police right now."

The leading boy frowned and sneered: "Don't meddle in other people's business, or I'll deal with you too!"

Huang Sitian sensed the scent of danger.

But at this moment, she felt that as a teacher, she had to stand in front of that girl.

"You can try it and see."

The leading boy walked straight toward Huang Sitian and placed a hand on her shoulder: "Get out of the way!"

But the next second, he only felt a sharp pain in his wrist.

Turning his head to look, a man was firmly twisting his arm, and immediately after, kicked him in the buttocks.

The other boys saw that the situation was wrong and panicked for a moment, not knowing what to do.

Huang Sitian looked closely and did not expect Tang Ye to appear suddenly.

Tang Ye had originally intended to go back, but feeling that it had grown dark and fearing that Huang Sitian might meet with an accident, he had followed after her.

He had not expected to run into trouble.

This was a case of seeing injustice on the road and acting with courage!

Tang Ye crouched down, took the money from the boy's pocket, and then walked over to the girl and handed it to her.

The girl looked timidly at the boy on the ground and actually did not dare to reach out to take the money.

Tang Ye comforted her softly, "Don't worry, take the money; they won't dare to harass you again. I have already called the police."

As soon as his voice fell, the sound of police sirens came from not far away.

After the police car came to a stop, the police officer and the auxiliary police officer walked over quickly.

Tang Ye went up to meet them, "I am the one who called the police!"

The auxiliary police officer looked Tang Ye up and down, "What happened?"

Tang Ye pointed at those boys, "These boys were committing highway robbery."

The police officer was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself that highway robbery was no small matter and that this was perhaps an exaggeration.

The auxiliary police officer said somewhat nonchalantly, "The charge is not for you to decide! These children look like they are still minors; we will take them back to the Police Station to investigate thoroughly."

Tang Ye's eyes turned cold, and he took out his work ID and handed it to the police officer.

Seeing the other party hand over a booklet, the police officer was somewhat bewildered...

After seeing Tang Ye's position clearly, the police officer's eyes instantly became clear...
