CHAPTER 502: HE WHO ACTS AS A GUIDE FOR THE TIGER WILL END UP BEING DEVOURED BY IT.

Students gradually walked out from the entrance, most of them with thick glasses perched on their noses. Some were reciting vocabulary as they walked, while others had earphones on, diligently practicing their listening.

Although they were a group of bookworms immersed in mountains of study materials, the graceful figure at the campus gate, with clothing fluttering in the wind, firmly caught their attention.

However, these youths had more resolute goals in their hearts, and merely glanced a few extra times before moving on.

Even with the last wave of students leaving, Qi Baotan did not appear.

Shen You’an frowned slightly.

The security guard at the gate just took a sip of tea, and something seemed to flash before his eyes.

The security guard quickly craned his neck to look.

All the students had left the school, and the surroundings were empty.

Maybe he was seeing things.

The security guard shook his head, retracted himself, and continued reading a novel on his phone.

Shen You’an’s gaze swiftly locked onto the teaching building; the classroom for the Senior Year A+ class where Qi Baotan was, was on the westernmost side of the first floor.

The classroom was empty, with only one girl squatting in the corner picking up trash.

Noticing someone at the doorway, the girl instinctively looked up.

The person stood at the classroom door, against the twilight, ethereal, like a fairy descending to the mortal world.

She was stunned.

"I’m looking for Qi Baotan." A cold voice summoned back the girl’s rationality.

A flicker of panic crossed the girl’s eyes as she hurriedly lowered her head, "I...I don’t know."

The girl intensified her tone, authoritative without anger, "I’ll ask you again, where’s Qi Baotan?"

The girl, already with a fragile psychological defense, broke down and cried out, "In the restroom, it was all Zhu Xing, it’s none of my business... ."

The silhouette at the door flickered, and when the girl looked up again, the graceful figure was gone.

"You seduced the director with that face to land the role, didn’t you?"

"And calling yourself a Cen Girl, pfft, shameless creature."

"Zhu Xing, if you dare lay a finger on me, I’ll make sure you rot in jail."

The girl’s voice was very calm, yet it carried a sense of crazy determination.

"Who are you trying to scare?"

"Before you think about laying a hand on me, didn’t you check out my past? The last person who laid a hand on me is now in prison, never dreaming of getting out for life."

Cai Xiang: Just report my ID number.

By the restroom sink, Qi Baotan was cornered. In front of her were three young girls, led by Zhu Xing.

Zhu Xing sneered, "Just with you?"

The two girls beside her were visibly scared, "Zhu Xing, let’s drop it... ."

From inside the stall came the banging of the door, "Baotan? Baotan are you okay?"

It was the voice of Xue Hongyan.

Qi Baotan replied loudly, "I’m fine, Yanyan don’t worry."

Zhu Xing frowned, carefully scrutinizing Qi Baotan, and suddenly sneered, "Your mom’s just a lousy cleaner, and you’re pretending like a rich white beauty in front of me, or are you going to find your sugar daddy or director to complain? You think I’ll be scared of you?"

Even at this moment, Qi Baotan still stood tall with a frosty look on her pretty face like a proud plum blossom blooming against the cold, beautiful yet indomitable.

Zhu Xing found this face glaringly offensive.

Qi Baotan casually tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear, "I signed with an agency, the most powerful legal team in Hua Country, and I’m the most promising newcomer in the company. If you dare to lay a finger on me, do you think the company will take you down thoroughly for me?"

She emphasized each of the last four words, making Zhu Xing’s heart skip a beat as she blurted out, "You dare."

Qi Baotan lifted her chin and looked back defiantly, "Try me."

Zhu Xing became flustered inside, could Qi Baotan have really signed with a powerful company?

"Zhu Xing, you’re repeating a year to get into a good university to prove yourself, right? But what are you doing now? If anything happens to me, forget about university because with a criminal record, your life is over. Is it worth it for you to go this far over me?"

Touched at her sore spot, Zhu Xing lashed out in fury, raising her hand to slap Qi Baotan’s face.

"Shut up!"

Qi Baotan’s pupils contracted sharply, unable to dodge in time, she could only hug her head and cursed Zhu Xing’s foolishness in her heart for truly choosing a wrong path.

Yet the expected pain did not come.

Qi Baotan looked up to see Zhu Xing’s arm frozen in front of her, held back by a more delicate and fair hand.

Qi Baotan stared at the hand in a daze, thinking, what a beautifully delicate hand, so white and soft, what would it feel like to touch?

Qi Baotan quickly shook her head, driving away the trivial thoughts, her gaze fixed on the familiar silhouette.
