CHAPTER 503: THOSE WHO HELP THE TIGER DO EVIL, WILL EVENTUALLY BE DEVOURED BY THE TIGER_2

Qi Baotan exclaimed in surprise, "An’an, what are you doing here?"

Zhu Xing frowned as she looked at the girl who had suddenly appeared. She tried to pull her hand back, only to find that the slender white hand gripping hers was like an iron clamp, leaving her unable to move.

A foreboding feeling crept into her heart, but she still forced herself to snap angrily, "Let go of me."

She shouted as she struggled.

The girl abruptly loosened her grip without warning. Caught off guard, Zhu Xing couldn’t regain her balance and stumbled backward, falling heavily onto the floor, landing squarely on her backside. The scene couldn’t have been more humiliating.

Zhu Xing let out a wretched cry, feeling as though her tailbone was about to split in two.

Two girls hurried forward to help her up.

Shen You’an scanned Qi Baotan from head to toe and asked in a low voice, "Are you hurt?"

Qi Baotan grinned brightly, "No, I’m perfectly fine. An’an, it’s my fault for making you wait so long."

Thinking of Xue Hongyan, Qi Baotan immediately added, "An’an, wait for me just a moment."

With that, she briskly walked inside and rescued Xue Hongyan, who had been trapped in one of the stalls.

Xue Hongyan was completely drenched in dirty mop water. The foul smell clung to her, reeking from head to toe.

Xue Hongyan sniffled, her eyes reddened, "Baotan, I’m sorry..."

Qi Baotan sighed, her gaze filled with guilt, "I’m the one who should be saying sorry."

Zhu Xing got to her feet, rubbing her sore backside, and glared venomously at Shen You’an, "Who are you?"

The person before her was wearing a white baseball cap and a black mask, making her face unrecognizable. But judging by her figure and aura, she was undoubtedly a stunning beauty.

Zhu Xing’s tone was unfriendly, "Speak up."

She grabbed a mop from the corner and gripped it tightly in her hand. There were three of them, and three of the intruders. The odds shouldn’t be against them, yet the strength of the other girl’s grip earlier had shaken her confidence. In an attempt to bolster her courage, she tightened her hold on the mop.

Shen You’an took a step forward, and Zhu Xing instinctively took a step back, eventually retreating into a corner with no place left to go.

Her face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

"With skills like yours, you think you can pull off bullying? Go home and practice your punches and kicks first."

The girl’s voice was cold and sharp, laced with undisguised mockery, cutting straight to the heart.

Shen You’an glanced at Qi Baotan.

In that instant, Qi Baotan seemed to understand without a word, pulling out her phone and starting to record a video.

Infuriated, Zhu Xing’s eyes turned red as she raised the mop in her hand to strike.

Qi Baotan let out a reflexive scream, "An’an, watch out..."

Xue Hongyan squeezed her eyes shut.

Shen You’an easily dodged. With a graceful step, she grabbed Zhu Xing’s arm. It was unclear how she exerted force, but the mop fell from Zhu Xing’s hand and clattered onto the ground.

Shen You’an twisted Zhu Xing’s arm behind her back, maneuvering it into an almost impossible position behind her neck. The empty restroom echoed with Zhu Xing’s blood-curdling screams.

The two girls who had been with Zhu Xing stood frozen in terror.

Qi Baotan exclaimed excitedly, "An’an, you’re amazing!"

Shen You’an switched from gripping to hoisting, lifting Zhu Xing as though she were carrying a helpless chick. She dragged her over to a mop sink filled with a half basin of murky black water.

"She did this to you earlier, didn’t she?"

Shen You’an turned her head to look at Xue Hongyan.

Xue Hongyan froze for a moment before nodding reflexively.

Without a shred of hesitation, Shen You’an shoved Zhu Xing’s head into the filthy water. Zhu Xing thrashed like a drowning person, struggling desperately, but the strength pressing on her back was immovable, pinning her down like a mountain.

Shen You’an’s expression and movements remained disturbingly calm and indifferent throughout.

When Zhu Xing’s struggles grew weaker, Shen You’an yanked her out and tossed her aside.

Zhu Xing, now alive but deeply shaken, gasped for air, her arrogance thoroughly extinguished. Her eyes were filled with raw fear.

"As a repeat student, you ought to focus on studying instead of stooping to such despicable acts. If you’re anxious or need to vent, don’t pick on the weak. Come find me—I’ll entertain you anytime."

Shen You’an didn’t spare her another glance. She turned to Qi Baotan, "Let’s go."

Qi Baotan obediently nodded and took Xue Hongyan’s hand, following Shen You’an.

As Shen You’an passed by the other two girls, she glanced at them from the corner of her eye.

Their faces turned deathly pale, and they shook their heads frantically, "This has nothing to do with us! Zhu Xing forced us to do it!"

"Those who serve the tiger will eventually be devoured by it. Make your choices wisely."

With those words, she strode out boldly.

The two girls exchanged terrified looks and, without even sparing Zhu Xing a second thought, fled in a panic.

Outside by the sink, Shen You’an washed her hands. As she looked up, a tissue appeared in front of her.

Shen You’an took it and wiped her hands.

Qi Baotan eagerly took the used tissue and tossed it into the trash. "An’an, don’t get the wrong idea. Today was just a fluke. Normally no one dares to bully me. It’s just a coincidence you happened to see it today. Even without you, I could have handled it just fine. But still, thank you—you really are my best sister."
