Chapter 331: Chapter 330: Then Do You Want to Solve the Problem You’re Facing?
"Aren’t you guys taking this way too far? You keep saying you won’t do anything to her, but your actions are cornering her step by step, leaving her no room to resist at all."
A student from a nearby university finally couldn’t take it anymore and stepped forward to rebuke them.
"Well, well, look who wants to play the hero."
"Did you stop to consider whether you’re even qualified before stepping up?"
Meng Fan immediately broke into a grin.
In his eyes, anyone who tried to play the hero without the strength to back it up was a complete idiot. And Meng Fan loved toying with idiots like that.
Meng Fan walked up to the male student and asked, "What school are you from?"
"I’m from Haitong City Science and Technology University. What about it?"
The young man answered, forcing himself to be brave. fгeewebnovёl.com
Although he was terrified, seeing the girl he had fallen for at first sight—the one who made his heart race—being bullied like this, he couldn’t stop the blood from rushing to his head.
"Oh, so it’s Haitong City Science and Technology University."
"You must be a complete scrub when it comes to Martial Arts. Why else would you go to a university that isn’t a Martial Arts Academy?"
Meng Fan’s insult was sharp and to the point.
In this world, not all high schools and universities were dedicated to training Martial Arts students.
After all, Martial Arts required talent, and not everyone was suited to walk that path.
So, these young people were channeled into ordinary schools.
These were the same schools that existed before the Evil Spirits invaded Blue Star and had been preserved to this day.
After all, humanity still needed elites in science, engineering, and the liberal arts to maintain the foundations of society.
But ever since the Evil Spirits invaded Blue Star,
students who cultivated Martial Arts were now the new elite, equivalent to the top scholars from the most prestigious universities before the cataclysm.
As for the former elites in science, engineering, and humanities, they were now seen as inferior to those who practiced Martial Arts.
Humiliated in front of the girl he admired, the young man’s face instantly turned beet red, but he couldn’t find the words to refute it. The truth was, he had no talent for Martial Arts cultivation.
That was why he had worked so hard on his academic subjects to get into Haitong City Science and Technology University.
"If I recall correctly, the student council president of your Haitong City Science and Technology University is named Zhang Yangyuan.
As a student there, you must have heard of him.
Even your president, Zhang Yangyuan, has to respectfully call me Young Master Meng Fan when he sees me.
Who the hell do you think you are, yelling at me?
Believe it or not, one phone call from me, and I’ll have Zhang Yangyuan make your life a living hell at school every single day."
Meng Fan pulled a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one out, lit it, took a deep drag, and blew a thick cloud of smoke right in the student’s face.
The act made the student’s expression even more awkward and grim.
Then, Meng Fan escalated, thrusting the burning cigarette directly toward the student’s face.
The student’s face went pale with terror. Whether he was too scared to move or simply couldn’t believe Meng Fan would actually try to burn his face with a cigarette, he remained frozen to the spot.
Just as the cigarette was about to touch the student’s face,
a hand shot out and clamped down on Meng Fan’s wrist.
When that hand gripped his wrist, Meng Fan felt as if he had been locked in a steel vise.
Stunned, Meng Fan followed the hand with his eyes and saw that it was Chu He.
He asked with a mix of anger and confusion, "Young Master He, what is the meaning of this?"
"I think it’s better not to be so overbearing."
With a flick of his wrist, Chu He sent Meng Fan staggering back several steps.
The cigarette in Meng Fan’s hand fell to the ground.
His entire right wrist throbbed with pain, as if it were about to be crushed, and the numbness spread up his entire arm, making it stiff.
"Alright, alright, we’re all friends here."
"We’re all going to the same party tonight to have a good time."
"Let’s not fight here and make a scene for outsiders to laugh at."
Gu Chen quickly stepped in to smooth things over, his gaze fixed thoughtfully on Chu He.
"Friends? What friends?"
"Young Master He, you may drive a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, and I know your background isn’t simple,
but don’t forget, this is Haitong City.
Sun Canxing is the girl our Young Master Yu Qiming has his eyes on.
Even a mighty dragon can’t crush a local snake.
Besides, the circle of rich kids in Haitong City is more united than you think."
Having been thoroughly embarrassed by Chu He in front of everyone, Meng Fan flew into a rage out of humiliation and demanded answers.
"Where we are has nothing to do with me." Chu He shook his head.
Sun Canxing and Li Ping were both very surprised.
They clearly hadn’t expected that Chu He, who seemed to be mixed up with this group of rich young masters, would actually choose to stand up for them at a time like this.
Chu He’s reaction was too calm, which made the furious Meng Fan feel a little uncertain.
’Is this guy’s background really that powerful? Does he really not give a damn about us rich kids from Haitong City?’
Chu He walked over to Sun Canxing and asked, "Do you want to go to the party tonight?"
"No, I don’t."
Sun Canxing hesitated for a moment before deciding to tell Chu He her true feelings.
In truth, Sun Canxing felt a mix of resistance and fear toward those young masters.
"Then do you want to solve the problem you’re facing right now?" Chu He asked again.
"Just who are you?" Sun Canxing felt that there was something strange about Chu He.
"My name is Chu He," he told her honestly.
"Could you be *the* Chu He, the number one expert on Blue Star?" Sun Canxing’s eyes widened.
Originally, Sun Canxing had just thought the two looked very similar.
After all, a face on television can often look different from a face in real life.
But now, she couldn’t believe this young man was telling her his name was Chu He.
If their faces were just similar, it could be a coincidence, a case of having a doppelgänger.
But for their names to be the same as well? That would be too much of a coincidence to be believable.
However, after the initial intense surprise, Sun Canxing looked at Chu He with a hint of caution.
Yu Qiming had approached her before and made his intentions clear.
But Sun Canxing had rejected him outright.
At the time, Yu Qiming had made an offer: if Sun Canxing would accompany him for a few days, he would pay her a thousand yuan per day.
He also promised to find her a top-tier Martial Arts instructor,
and he would sponsor all four years of her tuition at a Martial Arts Academy.
During that time, if Sun Canxing could please Yu Qiming,
he said he could contact specialists from major city hospitals to help treat her father’s illness.
To be honest, when Yu Qiming laid out those conditions, Sun Canxing had actually hesitated.
It was mainly because her family’s situation was so dire.
Sometimes, Sun Canxing would wake up in the middle of the night feeling utterly hopeless.
But after waking up in the morning and looking at herself in the mirror, Sun Canxing still chose to refuse.
But the more she did so, the more interested Yu Qiming became in her.
