Forced into a romantic relationship

The feeling of having your scalp being torn apart is unpleasant.

Zhang Yang didn't know what was wrong, but he didn't dare to ask Hai Ge and the others to confirm their identities in front of Zhong Yin and the others. He could only frantically wink at Hai Ge, hoping that he would let him go.

But Hai Ge saw this winking and gesturing as a blatant provocation. He immediately reached out and slapped the man's face hard, grinning maliciously as he said, "Looks like you're not happy about this."

"Don't go too far, I am..."

His face stung with pain, and Zhang Yang became increasingly convinced that these people were serious. A sense of fear gripped him, and he almost blurted out the words "Sun Chengshuang's friend," but he quickly remembered Sun Chengshuang's words—

To make this hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress scene as realistic as possible, Sun Chengshuang had his friends act out their true selves from beginning to end before receiving the coded message "Get out of here," so as not to be easily exposed.

In other words, the more realistic their acting is, the more it proves that they are indeed Sun Chengshuang's friends.

As for why these people targeted him, it's probably because Sun Chengshuang changed his plans at the last minute, but he didn't receive the notification in time because his phone was out of battery.

Although he didn't quite understand Sun Chengshuang's intentions, Zhang Yang chose to trust his good brother and continue acting according to the original plan.

Just as he was getting into character, Hai Ge slapped him again, his face showing an exaggeratedly disdainful expression: "Huh? Who did you say you were? I can't hear you!"

He then slapped her again.

Damn! Even if it's a natural performance, this is way too much...

Zhang Yang hissed in pain, and seeing Hai Ge's mocking expression, he became angry and decided not to follow the script completely. Instead, he couldn't help but add a line: "I'm your father!"

Hai Ge's expression darkened. He released his grip on Zhang Yang's hair as if throwing away trash, beckoned two henchmen over, and they lifted Zhang Yang up from the left and right. Then, Hai Ge punched Zhang Yang in the stomach repeatedly.

"My dad, right!"

"My dad, right!"

"Do you know what happens when you talk nonsense about my father?!"

Hai Ge's face was contorted with rage. Even though Zhang Yang was already pale with pain and his body was curled up in a ball, Hai Ge still felt unsatisfied. He turned his head and spat on the ground, saying coldly, "Put something under his clothes. I haven't beaten him enough yet."

"enough!"

Just then, Zhong Yin, who was standing to the side, raised his phone and shouted, "If you keep calling, I'm going to call the police!"

Hai Ge frowned and glanced at her: "Big-breasted girl, this is between us and him. You'd better not meddle."

Being called "big-breasted girl" in front of so many people, Zhong Yin immediately showed anger. She barely managed to resist the urge to pull out a wrench and took a deep breath, saying, "Even if you have a grudge, you've fought enough now. Any hatred should be gone. There's no need to continue fighting, is there?"

As expected! Zhong Yin has feelings for me!
Despite being in considerable pain, Zhang Yang felt a warm glow inside, and even suspected that this might be the reason Sun Chengshuang changed her plans.

"Are you fucking deaf? Didn't I say I haven't beaten you enough yet?" Hai Ge said impatiently.

Noticing the hostile gazes of the group of thugs, Zhong Yin was a little scared, but she still mustered up her courage and said, "Then I have no choice but to call the police!"

“Zhong Yin…”

Liu Shiyue tugged at Zhong Yin's clothes, afraid that the other party would anger these guys. After all, they were currently surrounded, and even if they called the police, they would still be at great risk before the police arrived.

"Damn it, what bad luck."

Seeing Zhong Yin poised to press the dial button, Hai Ge seemed a little scared. He shrugged, looking utterly dejected. "Big-breasted girl, have you thought this through? You dared to threaten us with the police today. Next time, we might be looking for you."

He looked at Zhong Yin with a half-smile.

Zhong Yin was afraid, but she met his gaze without flinching.

Sure enough, Zhong Yin loved me deeply and was willing to sacrifice himself to protect me... Zhang Yang was both excited and moved, and a satisfied smile appeared uncontrollably on his face.

"Are you laughing at your mother?!" Hai Ge felt disgusted and punched him in the stomach again.

Zhong Yin said angrily, "I told you to stop..."

However, before she could finish speaking, she felt her hand go empty. The phone she was holding was snatched away, slammed to the ground, and stomped on for a few seconds.

Zhong Yin's expression changed drastically.

It turns out that Hai Ge's compromise was just a ruse, intended to distract her so that his henchmen could snatch her phone and prevent her from calling the police.

Sure enough, seeing that his plan had succeeded, Hai Ge walked over unhurriedly, stomped on the shattered phone twice, then kicked the cart to the ground and asked with a sneer, "Are you still going to call the police, big-breasted girl?"

"You have to pay for breaking the phone."

Zhong Yin gripped the wrench tightly, staring at him warily.

"Hahaha, she wants us to pay her money? She wants us to pay her money!"

Upon hearing this, Hai Ge burst into laughter, and his henchmen around him laughed so hard they were doubled over, their laughter full of sarcasm.

After a moment, Hai Ge's smile faded, and he looked Zhong Yin up and down for a moment before suddenly suggesting, "Paying money isn't out of the question, but you have to keep us company first. How about we go have a couple of drinks later?"

Seeing that Zhong Yin remained silent with a cold face, Hai Ge was not in a hurry. He picked up an exquisite box from the ground, opened it, and looked inside. He clicked his tongue in amazement and said, "There's even a ring here. You're so young, you're not already a wife, are you? Being a wife is great, I love being a wife the most."

As soon as he finished speaking, it drew another burst of laughter.

Zhong Yin frowned, about to ask him to return the ring, when Liu Shiyue, who had been silent until now, suddenly turned red in the eyes and shouted angrily, "You bastards!"

She was trembling all over, not from fear, but more from anger.

A thug who has a thing for married women and harasses them with impunity—isn't this an NTR (Netorare) plot?!

Such disgusting words are a shameless trampling on pure love and a blatant provocation against a warrior of pure love!
Liu Shiyue immediately took out her phone and said angrily, "I'm calling the police and having you all arrested!"

"Snapped!"

The next second, the phone was slapped to the ground.

Hai kicked the phone aside, then put his hand to his ear and pretended to be confused as he leaned closer: "Huh? Call the police to arrest who? I didn't hear you clearly, can you say it again?"

As if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head, Liu Shiyue instantly calmed down, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Zhong Yin quickly pulled her behind him, held the wrench horizontally in front of him, and glared at Hai Ge who was approaching: "Stay away from us!"

At the same time, seeing Zhong Yin in danger, Zhang Yang realized it was finally time for him to step in. So he gathered his strength and let out a powerful shout—

"Get out of here!"

According to the plan, upon hearing this signal, Sun Chengshuang's friend would immediately pretend to be intimidated and flee in panic.

As expected, with that shout, Hai Ge immediately moved away from Zhong Yin.

However, instead of leaving with his men as agreed, he returned to Zhang Yang with a stern face and slapped him across the face.

"Get lost, huh!"

"Get lost, huh!"

"I can't even be bothered with you, but you still insist on showing off, huh!"

The slaps were extremely forceful, and Zhang Yang's face swelled up instantly, his expression filled with fear.

You've got it wrong, these people are definitely not Sun Chengshuang's friends!
"Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding!"

He was trembling all over and said incoherently, "You must have the wrong person. I have no grudge against you. Please let me go!"

Hai spat on the ground and sneered, "You got beaten up and now you know it was a misunderstanding? Keep pretending, go ahead and keep acting tough!"

He wanted to slap Zhang Yang a few more times, which scared Zhang Yang so much that he almost cried. Fortunately, one of his underlings stopped him in time and whispered, "Brother Hai, Brother Long said that it's enough to teach him a lesson. Don't make a big deal out of it and cause trouble."

Hai Ge frowned and glanced at him, then slapped Zhang Yang across the face again to express his displeasure. He then casually straightened his clothes and said expressionlessly, "Check if he has anything valuable on him, then tell him to get lost."

The henchman nodded nervously and immediately began searching Zhang Yang's body, quickly finding a thousand yuan and two concert tickets.

"Brother Hai, there are two concert tickets for tonight, take a look..."

"Take it, I'm not interested in those stupid celebrities."

Hai Ge waved his hand, then grabbed Zhang Yang's hair again, and said with a sneer, "Remember, this money and these two tickets are a gift from you, understand?"

"Ming...understand."

Zhang Yang's voice trembled, fearing that if he didn't say something right, he would be slapped again.

"You should know what happens if you call the police, right?"

"I know." "Okay, then you can get lost."

Hai Ge let go of his hand and shooed him away like a fly.

Zhang Yang felt like he'd been granted a pardon and was about to flee, but when his gaze fell on Zhong Yin and the other woman, he hesitated, then mustered his courage and asked, "What about them...?"

"Ok?"

Hai Ge merely uttered a nasal sound, which rendered him speechless.

“If you want to take them with you, you can play a game with me. How about it? Want to try?” Hai Ge said with great interest.

Zhang Yang didn't dare to reply, nor did he dare to look at Zhong Yin and Liu Shiyue. Amidst the laughter of the crowd, he scrambled away from there.

He ran frantically, and although his phone hadn't been stolen, he didn't even think about finding a place to charge it or call the police; he just wanted to get as far away from the place as possible.

During his escape, he encountered Han Zhou, who was running towards him.

"Sorry, bro..."

He vaguely heard the other person saying something, but he didn't want to listen to anything, nor dared to listen, and ran into the crowd with his head down.

Seeing this, Han Zhou, who was carrying Xiao Yixia, sighed inwardly.

He didn't know the specifics, but he could guess that the group of thugs were most likely after him. This guy was probably an innocent victim. But even if that was the case, he could only apologize after the matter was over.

The fact that Sister Yin and Liu Shiyue didn't appear here means that the matter is not over yet.

Just then, Xiao Yixia on her shoulder spoke up: "I need to remind you again, there are a lot of them. You'd better not try to be brave before the police arrive."

She had already called the police while searching for Han Zhou.

Han Zhou sighed: "It's precisely because the police haven't arrived yet that I need to finish this matter as soon as possible."

"This is the only thing I can do to show off now."

Meanwhile, Hai Ge and his henchmen had surrounded Zhong Yin and her companion, intending to find something valuable on the two girls.

Zhong Yin, of course, would not let them touch her. She waved the wrench around and angrily told them to get lost.

It has to be said that a wrench does have some deterrent power, and coupled with the girl's fiery temper, it seemed she really dared to smash a wrench into someone's head, so Hai Ge and the others didn't dare to make any rash moves.

Zhong Yin was worried that they would use the same trick again, so she remained on high alert and pretended not to hear those disgusting and vulgar words.

She thought she could hold out until Sun Wukong arrived, but these people were even crazier than she imagined. One of them rushed up from behind and was about to grab her hand that was holding the wrench.

At the critical moment, Zhong Yin gritted his teeth and swung the wrench without hesitation, smashing it hard into the man's wrist.

"what!"

The man's face turned deathly pale, and he clutched his wrist, screaming in agony.

At the same time, Hai Ge lunged forward and, taking advantage of Zhong Yin's momentary lapse in strength, slammed the wrench to the ground.

With a clang, the wrench fell to the ground.

Zhong Yin's face turned pale. He hurriedly tried to pick up the wrench, but it was too late. Hai Ge walked over with a gloomy expression, casually took the wrench from his underling, and raised his hand to slap Zhong Yin, but he held back.

He glanced at his underling, who was still screaming in pain, and said in a deep voice, "Big-breasted girl, I'll give you one more chance. Come with us for a couple of drinks, or you'll have a hard time paying off these medical bills."

Zhong Yin stared at him coldly, without saying a word.

Hai Ge continued to threaten, "Have you thought this through? You were the one who started it. We have so many witnesses here, and I have the physical evidence. If you don't want to call the police and get arrested, you'd better listen to me."

"Stop talking nonsense! You were the ones who hit them first!" Liu Shiyue said angrily.

"Yeah."

Hai Ge gave her a half-smile, "Then tell me, where are the people we beat up?"

Don't think everyone's blind!

"I don't know if everyone is blind, but I guarantee that the idiot just now will never admit that we hit him. Do you want to bet?"

"I……"

Liu Shiyue was speechless for a moment. Judging from Zhang Yang's performance just now, it was really hard to say whether he had the courage to identify these guys.

"It seems you don't dare."

Hai Ge patted the wrench on his palm and said in a relaxed tone, "So the situation is that we just wanted to have a chat with you, but you suddenly attacked us and even used weapons. If this kind of violence gets out of the school, you should be punished, right?"

He knew very well that for these honest students, punishment was a huge deal, let alone calling the police and filing a case. These words should be enough to scare the two girls.

So he continued, "But I'm a very easy person to talk to. If you're willing to have a couple of drinks with us, we'll call it even. How about it?"

However, Zhong Yin remained unmoved: "The police are already on their way. If you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave later."

She wasn't sure if the people around her would help call the police; these words were more meant to scare them, and she didn't believe these guys weren't afraid of the police.

Seeing that this guy was refusing to listen to reason and was about to suffer the consequences, Hai Ge's smile gradually faded: "It's good that the police came. How would they know that my good brother was injured by you with a wrench if they didn't come?"

"Then we'll just wait here."

Zhong Yin wasn't buying it. Seeing Hai Ge's face growing increasingly gloomy, he immediately pulled Liu Shiyue behind him and stood in front of him.

Meanwhile, Han Zhou had already arrived. He had been running at full speed the whole way, so it was impossible for him to hold the line to rescue people. He saw Zhong Yin surrounded by people from afar and also noticed Zhong Yin's slightly trembling hands hidden behind his back.

She wasn't unafraid; she just didn't dare show it.

Just like after her parents left, she had to wrap up her once cheerful and playful self layer by layer, using a cold and hard shell to protect the days and nights she spent relying on her younger sister.

She was just an ordinary girl, so she had to pick up a wrench as a weapon to protect herself and her sister.

She had to support her family, so she had to give up all her dreams. A young girl in the prime of her life, she started dealing with oil-stained and broken cars at a very young age.

She wanted to leave all the happiness and joy to her younger sister, so she could only use a cold and tough attitude to block out all the dark and painful things, completely disregarding whether she would become disliked because of it.

Or rather, it doesn't matter if people dislike you.

With no shore to lean on, she gritted her teeth and became the shore herself.

When Han Zhou saw Zhong Yin, Zhong Yin also saw Han Zhou outside the crowd.

When she saw the other person walking this way, the girl couldn't help but feel annoyed. She quickly shook her head slightly, indicating that he should just call the police and not come any closer.

Han Zhou felt a strange urge to laugh, not because he was happy, but because of a kind of bittersweet feeling that was stuck in his chest.

He knew it would be like this.

Sister Yin always told him not to overreach himself.

But the most stubborn and the least likely to back down is always herself.

This will always be true, both in the past and in the future.

"If the police come, I might have to run away for a while, and I might not be able to go to the concert with you tonight."

Han Zhou put Xiao Yixia down from his shoulder and said apologetically.

"Are you going to kill someone?" Xiao Yixia looked up at him.

"...You are not allowed to read that comic book anymore."

Han Zhou sighed helplessly. It's all about killing people and practicing the Hehuan Technique. This guy has been led astray.

"In short, I will get you home safely before I run away."

He whispered a few more instructions, then charged into the crowd with a reckless gait, and without saying a word, kicked Hai Ge in the chest.

To this day, he is still unsure whether he can change the future of Sister Yin's family.

He even had a vague premonition that the hope of saving Uncle Zhong and Aunt Ye's lives was probably slim.

However, he knew very well that at least one thing had begun to change. (End of Chapter)
