Lu Chao's threat ignited the fury in Qin Chuan's heart.
He suddenly stepped forward.
Standing at 1.83 meters tall, he glared down at Lu Chao.
In an instant, Lu Chao suddenly felt a chill down his spine and instinctively stepped back two paces.
Seeing the tension in the air, Wen Yaxin quickly stepped forward and grabbed Qin Chuan, then glared at Lu Chao with disgust, "Lu Chao, if you're sick, go see a doctor. Why are you acting crazy here?"
Lu Chao, who was still in shock, came back to his senses and looked at Qin Chuan with fear, then secretly gritted his teeth.
Just a moment ago, he felt a tremendous threat coming from Qin Chuan.
If it weren't for Wen Yaxin stepping in, he feared he would've already received a severe beating.
Adhering to the principle of avoiding immediate trouble, Lu Chao gave Wen Yaxin a venomous look before slinking away.
"Be careful, this guy named Lu doesn't seem like a good person," Qin Chuan warned Wen Yaxin.
"Mm."
Wen Yaxin nodded sensibly, "This is a school; Lu Chao wouldn't dare to act recklessly."
"Even in school, you can't be careless. If anything happens, make sure to contact me immediately," Qin Chuan said with concern.
"Alright, alright, I know. You're my man, so I'll definitely contact you first if anything happens."
Wen Yaxin wrapped her arm around Qin Chuan's, rubbing her head against his chest, a look of infatuation on her face.
After snuggling for a while, Wen Yaxin reluctantly let go of his arm, letting him go.
Since Jiangcheng University and the Communication University are nearby, Qin Chuan chose to walk back to school.
But just as he reached the school gate, he was stopped by the security guards there.
"A student reported to us that you stole something of his. Please come with us to the security office to assist with the investigation." The security guards looked at Qin Chuan expressionlessly.
Qin Chuan furrowed his brows, "Was that student named Lu Chao?"
He didn't know anyone else at the Communication University besides Wen Yaxin and just now, Lu Chao.
He just didn't expect Lu Chao's revenge would come so quickly.
"Stop babbling, just cooperate with the investigation quietly."
The leading security guard was fierce.
Seeing that Qin Chuan was only in his early twenties, he thought Qin Chuan was just an ordinary student.
Having worked as a security guard at the school for many years, he had plenty of experience dealing with students.
Generally speaking, students, lacking social experience, would obey if intimidated.
Of course, some students did have identity and background.
For these students, force couldn't be used, only flattery.
Because you never know how powerful the forces behind them are, and one mistake could cost you your job.
But the security guards at the Communication University looked at Qin Chuan and thought he was just a poor student without a background.
So they directly chose to use coercion, intending to intimidate Qin Chuan.
"You security guards, accepting bribes from Lu Chao, helping him target me?" Qin Chuan said calmly, unfazed by the guards.
These few guards before him, he could handle them with one hand.
"Fine, not admitting the theft and even accusing us, we'll add another charge!" the leading guard said mockingly.
He was just worried about not having charges against Qin Chuan, but Qin Chuan handed it to him himself.
Now they had a reason.
Qin Chuan smiled indifferently, not caring, "If people want to find fault, they can always come up with a pretext."
Then, he looked around, sneering as he spoke to the surroundings, "Lu, stop hiding, I know you're watching, you coward."
Perhaps stimulated by Qin Chuan's words, or emboldened, Lu Chao actually stepped out from a corner.
At this moment, he was not alone; a few young people of similar age followed alongside him.
"Young Master Lu, this kid seems to be quite the tough guy," Lu Chao's roommate said playfully.
"Tough guy?"
Lu Chao smirked sarcastically, "Then let's see whether his bones are harder or the batons in the guards' hands are tougher!"
Facing the fearless Lu Chao, Qin Chuan remained composed.
Before long, Lu Chao went in front of him and arrogantly said, "I give you two choices: one, leave Wen Yaxin from today, or two, I break your legs."
The guards couldn't help but glance at each other.
They did accept benefits from Lu Chao, promising to teach Qin Chuan a lesson for him.
But they hadn't agreed to break someone's legs for Lu Chao.
Moreover, the money Lu Chao gave wasn't nearly enough to compel them to take such a risky action.
"What's the hesitation?"
Lu Chao saw the guards' concerns and immediately waved his hand, "I'll double the benefits I promised you."
"Young Master Lu, it's not about the money. The problem is explaining to the school," the head guard said with a fawning smile.
"My dad is an old friend of Principal Wen. This small issue, you think I can't handle it?" Lu Chao said dismissively.
It was precisely because of this relationship that he dared to straightforwardly target Qin Chuan.
Hearing Lu Chao's guarantee, the guards finally swallowed their concerns.
Then, they put on serious expressions again, glaring fiercely at Qin Chuan, "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear what Young Master Lu asked you?"
"Is it settled?"
Qin Chuan smiled, then looked at Lu Chao, "Come on, aren't you going to break my legs? I'll give you this chance."
"Damn you, refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit."
Lu Chao was furious, "Do it, hit him!"
"Young Master Lu, this is the school gate, how about we go to the security office..."
Before the guard could finish speaking, Lu Chao glared at him viciously, "I said hit him, what are you babbling about, don't you want to work anymore?"
The guards looked troubled. In broad daylight, they were also afraid of leaving evidence.
However, when they thought of Lu Chao's background, they steeled themselves and pulled out the batons from their waists.
Seeing the guards ready to act, Lu Chao and his three roommates stepped back a few paces with playful grins, as if watching a show.
"How many hits do you think this kid can take?" one of them mocked.
Another laughed, "Last time, that guy on scholarship couldn't handle two hits. This kid, at most three hits."
"Three hits? You're overestimating him. That poor guy last time was dark and sturdy and only took two hits. I bet this kid will kneel and beg for mercy after just one hit," the third roommate sneered.
At this point, the first one who spoke urged the others, "Why not add some stakes? I bet ten thousand he can take more than three hits."
"Alright, I'll bet he can't take more than three."
"Nonsense, if he doesn't kneel after one hit, I'll cover tonight's bill."
Lu Chao's three roommates were competing with each other, then they all looked at Lu Chao, "Young Master Lu, it's rare to have some fun, won't you add some stakes?"
Faced with their hype, Lu Chao had no intention to participate; instead, he turned to the guards and said, "For every extra hit, I'll pay you ten thousand more."
