Chapter 264 If you don’t enter the tiger’s den, how can you catch the tiger’s cubs?
Chapter 264 Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Shen Tong had made plans for the evening, but after seeing the message from Xia Lan, she had to cancel her original plans and instead went to follow the boy whose bone she had broken.
Xia Lan's message said that they impersonated the boy's account and angered an account called "Magic Eye" that was related to the upskirt filming incident.
The other party is likely targeting this boy with the broken bone to retaliate against him, and this is a good opportunity to use him as bait.
Although it's not authentic.
Shen Tong stroked his chin and clicked his tongue. It seems that Xia Lan isn't so saintly after all. She pretends to be different from him, but she's just using others.
Shen Tong was secretly pleased. She returned to the office restroom, changed into a clean and neat set of clothes, and waited to start following the man with the broken bone after school.
Lu He originally wanted to go and follow them personally, but Xia Lan rejected the idea.
"If something really happens, you won't be able to protect yourself..." Xia Lan was extremely worried, and at the same time subconsciously touched the pain on her shoulder: "My fighting ability will also be greatly reduced..."
"I'll put some medicine on you when we get back tonight..." Lu He had been worried about Xia Lan's injury. If it weren't inconvenient to open her clothes to check at school, she would have applied medicine to her long ago.
"Alright, let's leave the matter of the Demon Eye to Shen Tong..." Anyway, that girl is so good at fighting, even Xia Lan can't beat her.
Lu He was furious. She had been ruthless towards Xia Lan earlier, and Shen Tong was a real scoundrel. If she had met someone just as ruthless, she would have given her a good beating!
Thinking this way, Lu He felt much more at ease.
“Then let’s go back and pack our bags today,” Lu He said, taking out the completed accommodation application. “We’ll move to room 404 tomorrow.”
"I also asked around among my classmates about what happened with 404. Basically, they all said that one student took a leave of absence and the other dropped out..." Xia Lan shook her head as she recalled how her classmates had talked so confidently about it that afternoon.
In fact, they clearly only had a superficial understanding and didn't explain anything clearly. On the contrary, they talked vividly about gossip and romance, as if they had seen it all with their own eyes.
It's about how two girls fight over one boy, who's a green tea bitch, who uses underhanded tactics, and then they turn against each other and turn on each other with knives.
But when asked who the so-called boy in the story was, everyone was stumped and no one could answer what the male protagonist's name was.
"The story of two women fighting over one man is mostly made up..." Lu He thought so too. If it were true, how could no one know who the man was? It's pure fiction.
Even so, this version is still the most widely circulated and the one that everyone believes.
It's so ironic that a conflict between two girls always involves a man... Men really think too highly of themselves...
Xia Lan opened the campus wall and flipped to the previous post: "Look, this is the post that was talking about this gossip back then. The earliest comments were about fighting over a man, and it was a male account."
The most popular and liked comment reads, "This is clearly a fight over a man, they went so far! They're really ruthless!"
The post never mentioned any romantic disputes; it only described a heated argument between the two, during which A grabbed a fruit knife and stabbed B.
"It seems we won't get any information from the students. We'll have to go to that dormitory to find out the truth." Lu He frowned, looking at the jubilant comments below with a strange sense of disgust.
Meanwhile, Shen Tong was leisurely lighting a cigarette by a tree by the roadside, with the boy with crutches and a limp not far away.
They were moving so slowly that Shen Tong couldn't even use the motorcycle he had prepared.
Who would have thought that this kid would actually walk home?
After turning a corner, the boy, leaning on his crutches, trudged into the alley. There were noticeably fewer people there. He continued to move slowly, when suddenly seven or eight blond-haired youths, cigarettes dangling from their mouths, walked towards him, chatting and laughing.
The boy glanced at them uneasily, not daring to look at them any longer, and quickly lowered his head to continue on his way.
Shen Tong also stubbed out his cigarette, squinted, and stared at the group of thugs.
The group of thugs chatted and laughed as they walked along, ignoring the boy with the broken bone.
Just as they were passing each other and Shen Tong was about to lower his guard, the group suddenly surrounded the boy and rushed into the alley between two houses on the side of the road.
The boy was just taken away like that.
"Damn it!" Shen Tong cursed under his breath and immediately followed.
The boy's body trembled slightly, his forehead was covered in sweat, and his hands were tightly gripping the hem of his clothes.
A burly young man with a buzz cut suddenly rushed forward and shoved the boy hard. The boy, who was unsteady on his feet due to a foot injury, staggered and fell to the ground.
Then, several people surrounded him, kicking his back and legs repeatedly. The boy gritted his teeth, groaning in pain, but dared not make a loud sound.
"You little brat? You dare to mess with us!" A fat man said as he grabbed the boy's hair and shook his head from side to side.
The boy, with blood at the corner of his mouth and a look of confusion in his eyes, said, "Big brothers, are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else? I don't think I've done anything to offend you..."
The young man in the black hoodie, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, smiled and tossed the cigarette butt to the ground, grinding it under his foot. His voice was gentle yet threatening: "You bought VIP Candy Videos from the Demon Eye, didn't you?"
The boy nodded, seemingly at a loss for words.
The man took off his black hood, revealing the face of an innocent young man, and smiled harmlessly: "Is this you?" He reached out and handed a photo to the man with the broken bone who was being pulled by the hair on the ground. The photo had an ID avatar and nickname on it.
The boy nodded again, trembling, and the next second he was slapped so hard that one of his teeth was knocked out, and specks of blood formed a line that splattered on the ground.
The man in the black hood stepped on the boy's cast, then waved for the others to scatter: "You're not going to save that leg today..."
As he spoke, he raised his foot, ready to strike, when he heard a gust of wind rush past his ear. He quickly leaned back, dodging a whirlwind kick.
His previously lazy gaze instantly cleared; if he hadn't dodged quickly, his head would have been smashed by the opponent's kick.
That's ruthless!
He quickly moved aside, glanced to the side, and saw Shen Tong, dressed in black, staring at him with icy eyes.
His eyes were like a venomous snake eyeing its prey, which made him a little scared.
Shen Tong had been observing this group of people for a while and was certain that the person in the black hood was most likely the Demon Eye, or at least a gang leader.
This person needs to be arrested and interrogated.
