"Ziqian, you don't have a girlfriend yet, right?" Xuelan suddenly asked this question.

"No..." Ling Ziqian blurted out subconsciously, but the moment he opened his mouth, he regretted it.

"That's great! My cousin told me that a lot of girls like you. Now, I'm joining their ranks and competing with them!" Xue Lan said with high spirits, seemingly returning to her previous eccentric personality.

Ling Ziqian was somewhat dejected and speechless.

Xue Lan felt embarrassed and asked cautiously, "You don't mean to... dislike me, do you?"

Before Ling Ziqian could react, Xue Lan shouted anxiously.

“At home, I was often bullied by them. They would punish me by making me do heavy work, verbally abuse me, lock me up, and even make me go on a hunger strike. But they wanted to use me as a tool for a marriage alliance, so they didn’t do anything excessive. I am still innocent. I have never been in a relationship, I still have my first kiss, and I am still a virgin. If you don’t believe me, I’ll show you!”

Ling Ziqian was sweating profusely. He really didn't know what to say to her.

Without warning, Xue Lan pouted and kissed Ling Ziqian's cheek.

Ling Ziqian was startled by her.

Xue Lan blushed shyly. "Thank you for saving me just now."

Hearing her say that, Ling Ziqian put on a stern face, "If you really want to thank me, then tell me, who is Chen Mailong, and how can I truly help you!"

Xue Lan lowered her head and remained silent.

"You don't want to be treated like that by Chen Mailong anymore, do you? You've had enough, haven't you?"

"I will work hard to get rid of them!"

"Your asking me for help is also an effort!"

These words surprised Xue Lan greatly. She was somewhat excited and didn't know what to say.

What drove Ling Ziqian crazy was that even though Xue Lan was moved by him, she still didn't ask for his help.

Since that's the case, Ling Ziqian decided not to ask her anymore and to go find Cui Qiuzhen later.

Cui Qiuzhen is Xuelan's cousin; she should know something.

Ling Ziqian planned to go find Cui Qiuzhen after class, but his plan was thwarted before it could be implemented.

Dou Xiaorong suddenly called, her voice panicked, "Ziqian, where are you? Run! The police are coming to arrest you!"

"The police are coming to arrest me?" Ling Ziqian was startled.

He was just an ordinary otaku who had a certain fear of the police. When he heard that the police were coming to arrest him, he was immediately terrified and panicked.

"What happened? Is it because of what happened before?" Ling Ziqian asked nervously.

"The police seem to have been brought by Chen Mailong. Anyway, there are more than a dozen police officers. They just barged in while we were in class. Anyway, you'd better run, or you'll get caught!"

Chen Mailong was kicked hard by himself; he actually brought the police to arrest him!

Ling Ziqian was somewhat alarmed. If he were caught by the police, wouldn't he be caught by Chen Mailong? That would be terrible!

Ling Ziqian was still on the phone with Dou Xiaorong.

Xue Lan, who was sitting to the side, heard the word "police" and guessed what was going on.

Footsteps sounded outside the auditorium, and she quickly grabbed Ling Ziqian's hand and ran into the backstage area of ​​the auditorium.

Ling Ziqian hung up the phone and anxiously searched for an exit with Xue Lan. They were stunned.

However, there was no exit backstage of the auditorium, which greatly worried Xue Lan.

Ling Ziqian's heart was pounding, and he was extremely nervous, but he remained relatively calm.

He took a deep breath and carefully looked around the backstage area.

The backstage area is very small, with a restroom, but it's impossible to hide inside the restroom.

There are also several cabinets for storing costumes and props, which are easy to spot if hidden there!

Looking around, Ling Ziqian's gaze finally settled on the stage.

The auditorium stage was made of wooden planks and was hollow inside, so you could hide inside!

With this discovery, the footsteps outside the auditorium grew closer, and Ling Ziqian quickly walked towards the stage.

The steps leading up to the stage from backstage are movable. Gently move the steps aside, and suddenly a dark entrance appears, allowing you to enter the area under the stage!

Upon seeing the cave, Xue Lan was somewhat surprised, but even more so, she was terrified!

Ling Ziqian felt a little uneasy, but at a time like this, he had no choice but to hide there!

Pulling Xue Lan inside, Ling Ziqian carefully restored the steps.

The space under the stage was only about one meter high, pitch black, and filled with the smell of dust.

The footsteps outside were getting closer and closer; they could be heard police officers talking, asking each other if they had found anything.

Ling Ziqian held Xue Lan's hand and walked little by little towards the corner under the stage.

If they discover that the stairs in the back can be moved, they will definitely move the stairs to see what's going on.

Ling Ziqian and Xue Lan must hide in their blind spots to avoid being discovered!

The space under the stage was covered in dust and cluttered with all sorts of miscellaneous items.

During this time, squeaking sounds came from inside, accompanied by the sound of nimble running. Xue Lan was so frightened that she almost screamed. There were rats here!

Having finally reached a corner of the stage, Ling Ziqian sat on the ground, leaning against the wall.

It was pitch black here, and Xue Lan could already hear rats. She was terrified!

She was trembling all over; she wanted to scream, but she held back.

She gripped Ling Ziqian's hand tightly, but it didn't ease her grip; she still felt insecure.

"Ziqian, hug me, hug me..." she whispered, her words slightly slurred, with a hint of a sob in her voice.

"Don't be afraid!" Ling Ziqian didn't hesitate and pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly.

Even she herself felt a little uneasy, let alone Xue Lan, who was a girl.

Xue Lan was trembling slightly all over, her head buried deep in Ling Ziqian's arms.

Smelling the fragrance emanating from Xue Lan, Ling Ziqian stopped overthinking and gently comforted her, stroking her back.

Xue Lan found a sense of security in Ling Ziqian, and her tense heart gradually calmed down.

However, at that moment, someone jumped onto the stage and stomped their foot heavily.

A loud thud resounded, startling Xue Lan once again.

That's not all. I guess the person stomping on the stage was shouting, "The stage is empty! See if anyone's hiding inside!"

Ling Ziqian was terrified, and Xue Lan was so frightened she almost suffocated!

She felt certain that the two of them would be found, and she started to have wild thoughts.

Thinking of Ling Ziqian being taken away by the police and abused, she cried, "Ziqian, I'll go to Chen Mailong and beg him to let you go. You did nothing wrong, I'm the one who's wrong..."

Ling Ziqian reached out and gently covered Xue Lan's mouth to stop her from saying such things.

He whispered in Xue Lan's ear, "You can't bow down to someone like that, even if it means death. Not only can you not bow down, you can't even have the thought or mentality of bowing down!"

"But, but you..."

"I'm perfectly fine!"

Ling Ziqian smiled softly in the darkness.

At that moment, the stairs in the back were moved aside, and they discovered the entrance!

Xue Lan was terrified. She clung tightly to Ling Ziqian, not wanting to be separated from him.

If the police want to arrest him, they should arrest themselves too!

Outside the classroom of Class 1, Grade 12.

Chen Mailong changed his clothes and stood in the corridor with a gloomy expression.

He was waiting for the police to arrest Ling Ziqian.

"Despicable and shameless!" Cui Qiuzhen cursed at Chen Mailong.

Chen Mailong glanced at Cui Qiuzhen, but said nothing. His face was cold and gloomy as he walked in a certain direction.

"What should we do? What should we do?" Dou Xiaorong and Su Mingxi were in a panic, not knowing how to help Ling Ziqian.

"Why did the police arrest Ling Ziqian, saying he intentionally injured someone or something? It was clearly that man who started it!"

"It's really a case of the guilty party accusing the innocent first. He's gotten away with nothing, but Ling Ziqian has been arrested!"

"It's not like the guilty party is accusing the innocent first. Didn't you see? The police seem to be his henchmen, doing his bidding!"

"Wow, that's so shady! I'm going to report this to the TV station; I have the complete video!"

"I also filmed a video, it's all in HD and uncensored!"

Hearing the commotion from her classmates, Su Mingxi seized the opportunity and exclaimed, "Hey classmate, are you posting on Weibo? I'll retweet it and quickly notify the TV station reporters!"

Dou Xiaorong snapped out of her daze and saw a glimmer of hope. "Give me a copy of the video. I'm going to post it on the school forum and in all the class chat groups. We have to tell everyone that the bad guys brought the police to arrest people!"

Su Mingxi nodded, "Everyone saw what happened just now. Let's be witnesses for Ziqian. Please upload the video and photos online!"

"Please make this a big deal and get attention, everyone!"

The boys in the class were immediately fired up when two beautiful girls asked them to do this.

They all felt obligated to upload videos and spread information about the incident...

Chapter 135 Unable to suppress anger and impulse!

The movable staircase leading from backstage to the stage was removed.

The voices coming from outside became clearer.

"People can indeed hide under this stage."

"Are they really hiding inside?"

"You'll see when you go in."

"It's dark and filthy inside, definitely teeming with rats. I'm not going in!"
