Standing Next To You-Chapter 61: Getting Worse

Bei Sangyun walked into the cafeteria, but the spot where that man usually sat was empty.

Where did he go?

At that moment, an excited student came running in and loudly announced to everyone, "Guys! The target is definitely done for! I saw him being dragged away by the repeaters. The tyrant seems to want him dead this time!" He was so enthusiastic about sharing this news that he didn’t notice Bei Sangyun in the back.

Usually, this kind of gossip would send everyone into a frenzy, but this time the crowd was strangely silent.

"Don’t you believe me? It’s true! The video the tyrant made is probably a lie. I told you she was just preparing for a big event, and it turned out like this!"

His friends warned him with their eyes, glancing at the back, hoping their naive friend would realize that the tyrant was present.

"It’s really true!" The student felt misunderstood. He was eager to share this news and become the center of attention, but the expected reaction didn’t come. He should have taken a video to make everyone believe him.

"Who dragged whom away?" A cold voice came from the back of the cafeteria.

The student became animated again. "The target! Fei Chuan! The tyrant sent those big students to beat him up! I wanted to follow them, but they were too intimidating. Who wants to come with me?"

A path opened in the crowd, and Bei Sangyun emerged from it.

"Take me to those idiots."

"T-the t-tyrant!" The student exclaimed in shock. He immediately recognized Bei Sangyun. He stood stiffly. No wonder...no wonder everyone was acting strange!

Bei Sangyun’s face darkened. "Hurry up."

....

Bei Sangyun held the plastic with a thunderous expression. As the student led her to an isolated spot, her aura grew colder.

A large crowd was following behind Bei Sangyun and the student. They were the people in the cafeteria who wanted to join in the fun. But they maintained their distance from the school tyrant.

From a distance, Bei Sangyun could see a group of larger students surrounding someone.

"What are you doing?! Hold him down!"

"Get his leg! Break his leg!"

An angry roar emanated from the group.

Bei Sangyun’s eyes darkened, and her pace quickened as she approached the commotion.

The biggest man stood at the back and continued to shout, "You’re all useless! It took you so long to hold down just one man!"

There was another visible wound on his arm. He seemed really flustered and enraged.

The leader was already irritated that things weren’t going as smoothly as he had hoped. The skinny guy kept struggling and had injured two of his men, including himself.

They had managed to disarm him, taking away his makeshift weapon, the broken chair leg, and pinned him to the ground. Yet, the man continued to resist, even while on the ground.

He was furious, feeling that he was losing face as the big boss in the school. Why was it so difficult to subdue this man?

Suddenly, someone kicked him hard in the back. This sudden kick came out of nowhere, causing him to fall face-down on the ground.

"Who the heck kicked me?" The leader angrily shouted, looking back at the person behind him.

But another kick followed, pinning him to the ground.

"Who are you? You have the guts to defy my order? Which part of ’do not touch him’ didn’t you understand?"

A chilling voice sounded from behind him. Although it was clearly a girl’s voice, it sent shivers down his spine.

"B-boss Sangyun!" The leader exclaimed, horrified.

What was the school tyrant doing here?

"How dare you call me ’boss’? I don’t have underlings like you." Bei Sangyun kicked him hard once more.

The leader, a burly man, didn’t dare to move. Though he could easily push away the tiny feet on his back, he did not dare to do so.

He wasn’t afraid of anyone in this place, not even the teachers or the principal of the school could instill fear or respect in him.

But that had changed a year ago.

Two years ago, he was the biggest bully in this school.

He was three years older than most of the seniors here because he had repeated the same grade due to his numerous suspensions. Even though the school wanted to expel him due to various offenses against other students, his affluent family was able to keep the school in check.

Most of the students he targeted were those who were timid and had lower social status than him. With a bit of money, he could settle things easily.

He might have been a big bully, but he chose his targets carefully. To him, this place was his kingdom, and he was the king.

However, that changed when the tyrant transferred here and swept the entire school with her tyranny. Not only was she number one academically, but her social status and background were something he couldn’t compare to.

He tried several times to challenge her reputation, but her ruthless methods and even the way she made the teachers submit to her were enough to make this big bully step back. Besides, he couldn’t do anything to her because of her background, and he also lost the motivation to fight her. The gap was just too wide.

With her presence, the big bully had no choice but to withdraw from the front lines and quietly keep a low profile until the tyrant graduated.

Watching the tyrant dominating the school, the big bully had become one of those people who wished to be part of her group. He also dreamed of being carried by her toward the top.

But he never thought they would cross paths like this!

The big bully was both happy and scared at the same time. After all, the tyrant seemed angry with him.

"B-boss Sangyun, I c-can explain...."

Bei Sangyun stepped on his shoulder. "Explain?"

The man appeared disheveled from head to toe. The clean-freak Fei Chuan, who had been treated like a prince since he was young and had grown into a domineering king, was now being pushed around like this.

It was an unsightly sight.

A burning rage surged in Bei Sangyun’s chest.

How dare these people gang up on Fei Chuan? They weren’t even on the same level. Fei Chuan was someone they couldn’t touch. free𝑤ebnovel.com

She had been blamed by the entire village and expelled from school for merely lightly pushing Fei Chuan to the ground, yet this group of idiots dared to beat him up?

Ha.

Bei Sangyun coldly smiled. The pressure from her foot increased, causing the big bully to cry out in pain.

"What’s there to explain? Call back your men, or else I will break every one of your legs."

The students holding Fei Chuan snapped awake, shuddering. The tyrant’s gaze was too terrifying. They immediately stepped away from Fei Chuan.

Fei Chuan struggled to sit up, slowly standing and limping toward the container. He picked it up and silently withdrew from the center of the stage without a word.

He looked disheveled and injured, but he didn’t ask for help or glance at Bei Sangyun. He limped on his own under the gaze of everyone.

No one could see his expression under those long bangs of his.

Bei Sangyun narrowed her eyes and stepped away from the bully, approaching Fei Chuan’s side.

"Fei Chuan."

Fei Chuan paused in his steps.

"Let me take you to the clinic."

"....No need," the man said hoarsely. His tone was calm, devoid of any hint of emotion. He then continued limping away from the scene.

Bei Sangyun’s frown deepened. It appeared that Fei Chuan was deeply angered this time. The calmer Fei Chuan was, the more intense his anger seemed to be. She massaged her forehead. This was becoming really troublesome.

The misunderstanding was only getting worse.

"You two, follow him. Ensure he safely reaches the clinic and contact me afterward," Bei Sangyun ordered some of the students behind her naturally. These students weren’t her lackeys, but they immediately followed Fei Chuan to fulfill the tyrant’s order.

This was their best chance to become part of the tyrant’s group!

The big bully on the ground sneakily sat up. Lying on the dirty, hard ground was painful.

Bei Sangyun cast a cold glance at the bully who was rising from the ground. "Who told you that you can move? Lie down."

The bully obediently lay back down with unshed tears.

It seemed the tyrant was truly angry! What had he done wrong?
