They dared lay a hand on Lu Yuan's sister? They were dead meat

Lu Shishi curled up, her face full of terror.

When had she ever suffered bullying like this at school? Overwhelmed by the injustice, she burst into tears.

As Lu Shishi cried, Gu Xixia slapped her across the face again. "Fuck! What are you howling for? Hold it in!"

A few of Shishi's roommates couldn't bear to watch any longer. "Sister Xia! Haven't you gone far enough?"

Several of the delinquent girls with Gu Xixia immediately pinned down the girl who had spoken and punched and kicked her. Gu Xixia planted a foot on the girl's face and looked down at her.

"What? You got a problem with me teaching this little hussy a lesson?"

"Who the fuck else wants to stand up for this little hussy? Step forward! I'll beat you up too!"

The other girls who had wanted to step forward all shrank back in fear.

Gu Xixia picked up the cosmetics on Lu Shishi's desk and muttered, "What right does a little hussy have to use such nice things? I'm taking them all. Next time, remember to tell your brother to buy more and send them to school. I'll come collect them. If I don't see them within three days, I'll beat you every time I see you."

After beating her, Gu Xixia and her group swaggered out of the dorm room.

Only after they had left did the girls in the room dare come forward to check on Lu Shishi. "Shishi, how are you? Are you hurt anywhere?"

Lu Shishi shook her head. Her hair was disheveled and her face was red and swollen. Biting her lower lip, she looked dazed and terrified.

The girls fumed. "Gu Xixia went way too far. She's been throwing her weight around at school for ages. Can't anyone put a stop to her?"

"At least there's no one at school who can. Brother Long runs with Yang Tianba, and Master Tian, Yang Tianba of the Magic City, is an old hand..."

Lu Shishi's roommate Qiu Qianqian suggested, "Shishi! I think you should call your brother and have him arrange a transfer for you. If you can't afford to provoke Gu Xixia, can't you at least avoid her?"

Lu Shishi clenched her fists and refused. "I'd rather not make my brother worry..."

Qiu Qianqian was furious and unwilling to let it go. "Are you really planning to live under Gu Xixia's tyranny from now on?"

"I, I..."

"Oh, come on, what do you mean, 'I'? That's it. I'm calling your brother."

Qiu Qianqian and the other roommates soon got through to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan hadn't wanted to answer a call in the middle of the night, but when he saw that it was his sister's roommate, he sat bolt upright, tense, and answered immediately.

"What's wrong?" Lu Yuan asked. "Does Shishi want to talk to me? Why didn't she call herself?"

"Brother Lu Yuan, your sister, she... she got beaten up. The person who did it knows people in the underworld. She said your sister has to pay her fifty thousand every month and give her all the cosmetics you buy her every month, or she'll beat her every time she sees her!"

"You should transfer your sister to another school!"

A nameless fire flared up in Lu Yuan the moment he heard this. His sister had been beaten up? And the person who did it was this brazen?

Lu Yuan clenched his fists and pressed, "Why did they beat her? How did my sister offend them?"

"Brother, didn't you buy Shishi and us a bunch of skincare products last time? You remember Xu Bing, right? After you spent all that money, lots of people at school started hanging out with Shishi, and hardly anyone paid Xu Bing any attention anymore. Xu Bing's the second-year boss Gu Xixia, the top girl in the third year, personally raised up. So she got Gu Xixia to beat your sister up!"

At that, Lu Yuan's eyes nearly spouted fire. He felt ready to kill.

His sister Lu Shishi had always kept to herself and never stirred up trouble. Sure enough, just as he had thought, other students at her school were bullying her.

Lu Yuan nearly crushed his phone in his grip. "Give the phone to Shishi," he told Qiu Qianqian. "I want to say a few words to her."

After Qiu Qianqian handed Lu Shishi the phone, his sister's aggrieved sobs rang out. "Boo-hoo, Brother!"

Lu Yuan's heart ached. This was the sister he had watched grow up, the one he could never bear to hit or scold, yet now she had been bullied to this extent. Did they really think her brother didn't exist?

Lu Yuan reassured her, "Shishi, don't be afraid. Tomorrow morning, I'll come to your school myself. It'll be a good chance to show everyone there whether my sister is someone they can bully as they please!"

"Brother, don't do anything rash... Your life has only just started getting a little better. I don't want you to get yourself caught up in this because of me!"

A warmth swept through Lu Yuan's heart. "Don't worry. I won't do anything rash. Get some sleep. Tomorrow, everyone who bullied you will pay the price."

After hanging up, Lu Yuan immediately called Principal Nie Bin on his cell phone. His tone was extremely harsh. "I gave you an apartment in a good school district. I never put you in a difficult position, never asked you to give my sister any special treatment, and never used your position to gain favors or conveniences. I never asked you to do anything that would tarnish your political career!"

"But my sister goes to your school, so her personal safety ought to be guaranteed, shouldn't it? You have half an hour to get those two students who beat my sister under control. If you can't handle it in half an hour, your granddaughter can forget about university and wait to retake the college entrance exam next time. And you can forget about being principal. The school doesn't need a principal who can't protect his students' safety. I'll report the situation directly to the education bureau."

"With my social standing, don't imagine your connections higher up will help you. Let me make this clear: if I, Lu Yuan, want to take you down, no one can protect you!"

"Don't call the police. I'll come deal with those two students myself."

Furious, Lu Yuan hung up.

After Principal Nie Bin hung up, his body was covered in cold sweat. He hated the two students who had beaten her to the bone. At his age, when had anyone ever given him such a tongue-lashing?

Though Nie Bin was unhappy, he had no complaints. Lu Yuan had already shown him more than enough kindness, first donating six million to the school and then giving him an apartment at Tomson Riviera.

Lu Yuan had repeatedly made a point of asking him to look after his sister, Lu Shishi, yet she had still been beaten at school. That was a dereliction of his duty as principal.

"Those two students really don't know whether to live or die. They even dared beat the sister of Tomson Riviera's chairman! They're dead meat!"

Principal Nie Bin quickly contacted Lu Shishi's dorm room and reached several of her roommates. "Who beat up Lu Shishi?" he asked.

Qiu Qianqian spoke up. "Principal! It was Xu Bing from the second year and Gu Xixia from the third year. They brought people with them to beat her up!"

Hearing this, Nie Bin quickly checked which classes the students were in, then found the female directors of instruction. "Director Li! Director Liu! Tell Xu Bing and Gu Xixia from your classes to get their asses down here immediately!"
