By the time Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu reached the rooftop, Lin Yi had already dealt with Gao Xiaofu and Zhang Naipao.
Looking at Gao Xiaofu and Zhang Naipao groaning on the ground, Chen Yushu felt a slight sense of disappointment; despite her rushing over, she had still missed such an exciting scene.
"Sister Yao, Lin Yi is actually quite powerful!" Chen Yushu said to Chu Mengyao beside her.
"What does his strength have to do with me?" Chu Mengyao replied, though she was also somewhat shaken.
If Lin Yi kicking Zhong Pinliang yesterday was considered a sneak attack, and his actions in the restroom today were considered despicable trickery, then what was happening now was undoubtedly genuine skill.
Chu Mengyao knew exactly what kind of person Kang Xiaobo was. Although she had never spoken to him, boys of his type were typically the cowardly sort who avoided trouble and ran far away from fights. Therefore, Lin Yi was the only one fighting a solitary battle here.
Glancing at Gao Xiaofu and Zhang Naipao on the ground, both were clutching certain parts of their bodies and groaning, which indicated that Lin Yi had likely taken them both down with just a single move each.
"He's qualified to be your shield now. I believe after today's incident, Lin Yi's reputation in school will become quite loud. When that happens, which of those flies bothering you will dare to come near?" Chen Yushu said with a giggle.
Chu Mengyao gave a "hmph" and said nothing.
After taking down Gao Xiaofu and Zhang Naipao, Lin Yi patted Kang Xiaobo on the shoulder. "You okay? Haha!"
"I'm fine!" Kang Xiaobo snapped out of his shock. He hadn't expected Lin Yi to be so fierce, taking down Zhong Pinliang's two top generals in just two moves. He truly was a man of hidden depths! "Buddy, you're awesome!"
"Zhong Pinliang, I didn't want it to be like this, but you forced my hand. I had no choice," Lin Yi said, walking toward Zhong Pinliang with an air of innocence.
Zhong Pinliang was not easily intimidated. Although Lin Yi was capable, he had seen it—he had merely used clever timing! When Gao Xiaofu wasn't paying attention, Lin Yi had kicked him to snatch the chair leg, and then used it against Zhang Naipao while he was off guard.
Therefore, Zhong Pinliang didn't think Lin Yi was particularly powerful; he felt the boy had mostly just gotten lucky.
Zhong Pinliang reached out, and a dagger gripped into his hand, giving him a slight sense of security.
"Lin Yi, stop with the useless talk. If I don't kill you today, I won't be able to show my face in this school again!" As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Pinliang brandished the bright dagger and lunged at Lin Yi.
Lin Yi hadn't expected Zhong Pinliang to resort to such extreme measures; this kid acted without any regard for the consequences! If a death occurred in school, no matter how much influence his family had, they would still face severe repercussions.
Lin Yi decided to teach him a profound lesson. Otherwise, if it hadn't been him standing here today, he likely would have been stabbed!
As Zhong Pinliang's dagger thrust forward, Lin Yi grabbed his wrist.
At this moment, Zhong Pinliang was nearly driven mad. Even after being caught by the wrist, he continued to twist his body, trying to use his momentum to drive the dagger into Lin Yi's body, screaming frantically, "Lin Yi, I'll fucking kill you!"
The moment Zhong Pinliang charged, Chen Yushu couldn't help but cover her eyes! She knew what Zhong Pinliang was capable of and wondered if Lin Yi could dodge the strike, but it was too late to try and stop him...
However, when Lin Yi caught Zhong Pinliang's wrist, Chen Yushu breathed a sigh of relief, and beside her, Chu Mengyao also seemed to relax slightly.
Lin Yi increased the pressure on his grip. Zhong Pinliang suddenly felt as if his wrist were being clamped by iron pliers, tightening more and more. The pain made his entire arm tremble, and his palm instinctively opened, causing the dagger to fall to the rooftop with a "clatter."
Lin Yi grabbed the incredulous Zhong Pinliang by the hair, roughly hauled him to the edge of the rooftop, and gave him a hard shove, pushing half of his body over the edge...
"Ah—!"
Zhong Pinliang let out a scream of terror as he felt his body suddenly plummeting. A layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead! For the first time, the fear of death enveloped his heart; he did not want to die.
When only half of his body was hanging over the edge, Zhong Pinliang finally breathed a sigh of relief; his lower body had not been thrown off the roof with him. Even so, he felt as though he were soaked in cold sweat.
Lin Yi pushed his grip on Zhong Pinliang's legs slightly further forward. Zhong Pinliang shuddered violently, completely abandoning his dignity as he began to wail with a sob in his voice
"Lin Yi, I was wrong! Let me go! Don't throw me down! I was wrong, I was really wrong—"
Lin Yi said nothing and pushed Zhong Pinliang's legs forward once more.
"Brother Lin, Brother Lin Yi, I beg you, let me go! I won't do it again, I'll never dare to provoke you again—" Zhong Pinliang's voice was distorted by fear, his entire body shaking uncontrollably.
"I kicked you yesterday. I admit I was wrong," Lin Yi said calmly.
"Brother Lin, you were right to kick me! It was my fault! If you want to kick me in the future, go ahead and kick me whenever you want..." Zhong Pinliang was completely broken by fear.
"I said I was wrong, and I am. I am not the type of person who likes to bully people through sheer force." Lin Yi's voice turned cold, and the hand gripping Zhong Pinliang's right leg suddenly let go...
"Ah—!"
Zhong Pinliang hadn't expected Lin Yi to actually let go. He screamed loudly, feeling as though his life had reached its end. However, after screaming for a long time, he realized he was still hanging in mid-air and had not fallen...
Zhong Pinliang felt a warm stream surge between his legs. He had wet himself.
"Good, good, you were wrong yesterday, but I forgive you. It's okay, it's okay..." This time, Zhong Pinliang didn't dare speak out of turn; he only dared to say whatever Lin Yi wanted to hear.
"I hope you remember what you said today." Lin Yi gave a sudden yank, pulling Zhong Pinliang back onto the rooftop and tossing him onto the ground.
Zhong Pinliang felt as if he had just taken a stroll through the gates of hell; his entire body was soaking wet, as if it had just rained.
It would have been incredibly easy for Lin Yi to kill Zhong Pinliang, but he knew very well that this was a school, not the war-torn regions of North Africa. He couldn't kill him—at least not in public like this.
"Let's go," Lin Yi said, smiling at Kang Xiaobo.
"Holy crap, Lin Yi, you're too fierce! You actually made Zhong Pinliang submit!" Kang Xiaobo hadn't expected Lin Yi to be such a hard man. His admiration flowed like the Yangtze River: "I, Kang Xiaobo, have decided—from now on, I'm following you! You're my boss from now on!"
"Don't be so impulsive in the future. Fighting isn't a good thing. Having courage is fine, but don't just rush in blindly," Lin Yi laughed.
"I got it." Kang Xiaobo said somewhat sheepishly. "Boss, there are girls over there watching you..."
