“Since you’re not going to cut the stone, there’s no point in you staying here. Please leave.” Tang Bingyun directly issued an eviction order to Chu Bai.

Wang Haoran and Chu Bai were both students at Shuizhe High School, yet the old principal showed favoritism towards Chu Bai. Tang Bingyun, who was very friendly to Wang Haoran, couldn’t stand it.

No matter how you looked at Chu Bai, he seemed like a rogue, not at all like a student. She thought the principal might be getting senile to regard someone like him so highly. However, despite her dissatisfaction, Tang Bingyun still respected the principal and didn’t show him any disrespect. But when it came to Chu Bai, she had no such reservations. This was her territory, and if she didn’t like him, she could just ask him to leave.

“Beauty, a guest is a guest. No need to be like this,” Chu Bai said, spreading his hands.

“It seems you don’t know who I am. Let me clarify for you. Listen carefully, I am a director of your Shuizhe Private High School.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Bai was dumbfounded. This ice-cold beauty was even more important than the old principal!

“Escort him out,” Tang Bingyun instructed her female assistant without further ado. Her attitude clearly showed her extreme dislike for Chu Bai.

Wang Haoran was delighted to see this. It seemed that Chu Bai would have no further interactions with Tang Bingyun, right?

But just as Chu Bai had this thought, shouts suddenly came from outside the tent.

“Stop!”

“Don’t run!”

The sudden commotion surprised everyone inside the tent. Before they could react, a thin, panicked man rushed into the tent, followed closely by several pursuing security guards.

Seeing no way out inside the tent and the entrance blocked by security, the thin man, in desperation, grabbed the nearest person, Tang Bingyun.

“Ah!” Tang Bingyun’s face turned pale with fright.

“Don’t come any closer!” the man shouted at the security guards.

“Let go of President Tang, you can’t escape!” the security guards warned, advancing step by step towards the man.

“Don’t force me!” The thin man pulled out a gun and pointed it at Tang Bingyun’s head.

The security guards were startled and instinctively stepped back several paces. They never expected this guy to have such a thing on him.

Wang Haoran was also taken aback. He had initially thought of using his Wing Chun skills to teach this thief a lesson. But now it seemed better to forget it. No matter how strong his martial arts were, they couldn’t withstand a bullet.

However, in a place like Qingling City, where management was so strict, where did this guy get a gun?!

Wang Haoran was puzzled, so he focused his attention and instantly discovered the trick. It turned out to be a toy gun…

A trick, a trick, another damn trick!

Wang Haoran was speechless. Tang Bingyun’s attitude towards Chu Bai was already very bad. Yet Chu Bai still had a chance to turn the tables. If he could see that the gun was a toy, surely Chu Bai could too. With Chu Bai’s combat skills, dealing with a thin man would be a piece of cake. Hero saves the beauty, then wins Tang Bingyun’s favor. A classic trope…

“Be sensible and let the lady go!” As Wang Haoran was having these thoughts, Chu Bai’s voice reached his ears.

Wang Haoran looked towards the sound and saw Chu Bai approaching the thin man.

“Don’t act rashly, you’ll get President Tang killed!” the security guards quickly advised.

“I know what I’m doing, don’t worry,” Chu Bai said calmly.

“Don’t come any closer, or I’ll kill you!” the thin man threatened, pointing the toy gun at Chu Bai.

“Kill me? Go ahead and try,” Chu Bai said fearlessly.

“You, you…” The thin man was flustered and suspicious. Was this guy not afraid of death, or did he realize the gun was a toy? No, no, that’s impossible. From the outside, it looked real, so this guy must not be afraid of death.

“Stop, if you take another step, I’ll kill this woman!” the thin man changed his strategy, pointing the gun at Tang Bingyun’s head.

“Don’t do anything rash. If… if you want money, I… I can… give it to you,” Tang Bingyun stammered, her face as pale as paper, having never encountered such a situation before.

“Tell this guy not to come any closer!” the thin man ordered Tang Bingyun, feeling a bit guilty.

“Chu… Chu Bai, stay where you are,” Tang Bingyun said in a trembling voice.

“Don’t be afraid, I will definitely save you,” Chu Bai said, inching closer.

To enhance the effect of the hero saving the beauty, Chu Bai didn’t reveal that the thin man’s gun was fake, wanting to portray himself as a courageous man.

The thin man retreated step by step with Tang Bingyun until he hit the edge of the tent, with nowhere left to go.

“If you know what’s good for you, let her go,” Chu Bai continued to press.

“Kid, are you really not… afraid of death?” the thin man’s face twitched.

“My life is worthless. If I die, I die. If you’re interested, go ahead and kill me. Shoot here,” Chu Bai said, pointing to his heart.

The thin man almost wanted to curse, and his mental defenses began to crumble. The gun in his hand was a toy and couldn’t hurt anyone. And now there was a fearless guy in front of him, and he couldn’t escape.

The thin man immediately thought of surrendering. However, at this moment…

“Chu Bai, if you want to die, that’s your business, but don’t drag others down with you!” Wang Haoran quickly stepped forward and said to the security guards, “What are you standing there for? Can’t you see this guy is deliberately trying to get President Tang killed? Quickly restrain him!”

The security guards, awakened by this, immediately surrounded Chu Bai. Although Chu Bai was strong, the well-trained security guards managed to subdue him together.

“Wang Haoran, I was about to control the situation, why are you messing things up!” Chu Bai said through gritted teeth.

Wang Haoran picked up a piece of cloth that had originally wrapped a raw stone and walked over to Chu Bai.

“Are you out of your mind? You think you’re controlling the situation? Can’t you see what he’s holding?”

Without waiting for Chu Bai to respond, Wang Haoran rolled the cloth into a ball and stuffed it into Chu Bai’s mouth.

“Mmm, that… in his hand… fake… mmm…” Chu Bai tried to say that the thin man’s gun was a toy, but with his mouth blocked, he could only make muffled sounds. No one else could understand what he was trying to say.
