That Night Many Years Ago!

This puzzled Chen Mo greatly. How could an ordinary classmate, whom he hadn't seen for many years, recognize him after such a drastic change?

In fact, Chen Mo did not know that although An Ran was just an ordinary classmate to him, she was not so ordinary to An Ran.

An Ran will never forget that night. After finishing her evening self-study, she was riding her bicycle home alone when she was stopped by a group of people who suddenly rushed out of the darkness as she passed through an alley near the school.

Because she lives close to the school and arrives early every day, she always has the classroom key. Since the door needs to be locked at night, she is always the last to leave. Now, no other students pass by on this road except for her. And even if there are people, they probably wouldn't dare to go against this group of six or seven people who look like they're not good people. The most likely scenario is that they would just turn around and run away.

Seeing the group of people with lewd smiles surrounding her, An Ran, though she didn't know much, could guess what would happen next!

In fact, this group of people had been eyeing An Ran for a long time. They were all good-for-nothing hooligans who often got together to eat, drink, and have fun, fight and brawl, and act violently. When they were short of money, they would occasionally run to the vicinity of the school in the middle of the night to rob people. Students and teachers were their targets.

Earlier, one of them saw An Ran riding her bicycle home alone late at night when they were robbing people here. They were attracted by her slender and graceful figure under the dim streetlights. After seeing her face clearly, they were even more attracted by her quiet and refreshing temperament and her gentle and beautiful face. At that moment, bad thoughts arose in their hearts.

After observing her secretly several times, they discovered that she was always the last one to walk home alone after school, which made it very convenient for them to make their move. Finally, the group got together and decided to make their move in this alley!

Although An Ran mustered her courage and shouted at the wolf pack when she was trapped in the pack, her weak and trembling voice only earned her merciless laughter.

Seeing the group of thugs with lewd smiles slowly surrounding her, An Ran panicked An Ran tried to ride her bike away, but two of them pulled her off the bike and pushed her to the ground in the middle of the crowd.

An Ran sat helplessly on the ground, watching a group of thugs surround her. Realizing her dangerous situation, An Ran panicked and began to shout for help. However, she had only shouted a few times when they quickly covered her mouth and dragged her into the darker alley.

Having an An Ran idea of what was going to happen next, An Ran fought back with all her might, but it was all in vain. She was soon dragged into the darkness of the alley.

With her mouth covered, An Ran couldn't make a sound, and her hands and feet were tightly gripped, rendering her immobile. A deep despair welled up within her, and two streams of tears silently slid down her cheeks. Could it be...?

Just as An Ran was completely pulled into darkness and her heart was filled with boundless despair, a lithe figure suddenly flashed before her eyes and quickly rushed into the darkness.

Immediately afterwards, a series of painful screams rang out from the darkness around her. Soon, the men who had been holding An Ran and covering her mouth released her and rushed away, cursing angrily. An Ran's eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, she was able to see what had happened.

Right in front of her, a boy in a school uniform was fighting with the group of thugs. Several people had already fallen to the ground, clutching their throats, stomachs, and genitals, writhing and screaming in pain. The remaining few were also being pushed back by the boy's fierce and swift attacks.

An Ran felt that he was like Martial Arts Master on TV. His movements were so fast that she couldn't see them clearly. She could only see one arrogant and domineering thug after another falling down in his hands. A special light appeared in An Ran's eyes.

His punches and kicks were all aimed at vital points, and he quickly knocked all the standing men to the ground.

Because the area was blocked by high walls on three sides, the light was very dim, and An Ran could not see the boy's face clearly, but she could vaguely see that he was wearing their school uniform.

Under An Ran's An Ran gaze, the boy, who was probably her classmate, neither came to see her nor left immediately after defeating all the thugs.

Instead, he went to the thugs he had knocked to the ground, who were lying there groaning and clutching their groins, and lifted their hands and feet one by one, breaking them.

The cracking sounds of bones breaking and agonizing screams echoed through the darkness, interspersed with cries of despair and pleas for mercy. Yet, the high school student, who appeared to be around her age, showed no hesitation or pause, ignoring the screams and pleas, and continued methodically.

One of the thugs near the outer edge tried to escape and had already struggled to crawl most of his body out of the darkness while the boy was dealing with the others. Unfortunately, the next moment, footsteps sounded behind him, and he felt his ankle tighten as if it were being firmly clamped by an iron clamp. No matter how much he struggled, he could not break free and was eventually dragged back into the darkness of the alley amidst his desperate pleas for mercy.

Then came four more cracking sounds of bones breaking, and another scream from the ground.

An Ran witnessed the entire process. She, who usually couldn't even bear to watch a chicken being killed, surprisingly felt no discomfort or reluctance. On the contrary, seeing all of everyone's limbs broken by the boy, she felt incredibly happy. Her panic, despair, and pain from before subsided a lot. This must be what they call "satisfying revenge" on TV!

If this boy hadn't shown up today, and they had actually succeeded, An Ran didn't know if she would have had the courage to live on. Even if she had, she would probably have been nothing more than a walking corpse, and her whole life would have been ruined by these people!

An Ran felt no sympathy for these people; they deserved the punishment. She couldn't accept that they would only be locked up in jail for two or three years before being released.

It wasn't just because these people almost ruined her, but also because he knew that if no one stopped them, they would continue to do bad things in the future, and perhaps even more girls would be ruined by them.

Even if we call the police and get them arrested this time, they'll only serve a few years in prison at most. After they get out, they'll only become more aggressive and remain a social cancer.

Now that all of them have had their limbs broken, even if they recover, they will never be able to act violently or harm others again. This is more effective than going to jail, and it solves the problem once and for all.
