"Lin Chen, be careful!" Li Meiying screamed in alarm when she saw the thug stabbing at Lin Chen with a dagger.

"Crack, ah!" Accompanied by the sound of breaking bones, the thug's wrist was unexpectedly snapped by Lin Chen, who knelt before him in agony.

Lin Chen kicked the thug to the ground and said coldly, "I'm not running because I'm not stupid, but because I want to personally cripple scum like you."

"How is this possible!" Everyone was stunned to see the thug wailing on the ground.

Li Meiying could hardly believe her eyes. Lin Chen had always seemed like a frail guy to her. When had he become so powerful?

The four thugs were also dumbfounded. Ergou had practiced martial arts for a few years, so how could he be so weak that he was subdued by this kid in one move?

"Damn it, let's all go at him, take him down!" The bald thug roared furiously, brandishing a dagger as he and the other three charged at Lin Chen.

"Dayong, help Lin Chen quickly." Li Meiying stood up and said in a frantic manner.

"I help him? Those are knife-wielding thugs we're talking about. Are you asking me to go get myself killed?" Wei Dayong stayed put and retorted dissatisfied.

"You!" Li Meiying's delicate body trembled with anger.

"Meiying, let's run and forget about him!" Wei Dayong said as he grabbed Li Meiying's hand, attempting to flee.

"No, I'm not leaving!" Li Meiying exclaimed angrily.

Just when she was held hostage by these thugs, this burly man simply stood by and watched.

Now that Lin Chen was fighting the evildoers for her sake, this guy actually wanted to abandon their lifesaver and escape by himself. Li Meiying was completely disappointed in this scumbag.

But just then, several more screams erupted, causing the two quarreling individuals to turn their heads and freeze in disbelief.

All four thugs had had their wrists broken by Lin Chen and were lying on the ground, crying out in pain.

Both Li Meiying and Wei Dayong were stunned.

These were four fierce thugs wielding daggers, yet in the blink of an eye, Lin Chen had taken them all down.

Li Meiying shook off Wei Dayong's hand and ran towards Lin Chen.

"Little Chen, are you okay?" Li Meiying pulled Lin Chen close for a thorough check.

"I'm fine. I never took these little punks seriously," Lin Chen said with a light smile.

Watching Li Meiying's intimate behavior with Lin Chen, Wei Dayong's face turned ashen with rage.

"Meiying, what are you doing, holding hands with a boy? Don't forget that you're my girlfriend," Wei Dayong said coldly.

"Wei Dayong, we're done. I choose to hold Lin Chen's hand, and it's none of your business," Li Meiying replied coldly.

In front of that gang of thugs, Wei Dayong behaved like a coward, and now that the goons were down, not only was he not grateful, but he was also jealously lurking on the sidelines.

Now, Li Meiying found this man utterly disgusting. She truly regretted her blindness for ever making this jerk her boyfriend.

"You bitch!" Wei Dayong was completely enraged.

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow: "Who are you calling a bitch?"

Seeing Lin Chen, Wei Dayong involuntarily trembled; just now Lin Chen had faced five thugs alone. Wouldn't taking care of him be as easy as playing a game?

"Lin Chen, let's not bother with him. Let's go," Li Meiying said with tears in her eyes as she pulled Lin Chen away.

The two of them took a taxi and left the park. Watching the car's tail lights, Wei Dayong who had walked out of the park showed a vicious look in his eyes: "I will never let you two dog lovers off."

In the taxi, Lin Chen looked at the sobbing Li Meiying with compassion.

"Ms. Li, don't be sad. Such scumbags aren't worth your tears," Lin Chen consoled.

Li Meiying wiped away her tears: "It's not for him that I'm sad; I hate myself for being blind and getting involved with such a scumbag."

The taxi arrived at the school dormitory, and the two alighted.

As soon as Li Meiying's feet touched the ground, she suddenly cried out in pain, her body swaying, and Lin Chen hurriedly stepped forward to support her.

"Ms. Li, what happend?" Lin Chen asked.

"My foot, my foot is twisted," Li Meiying said with a pained expression.

Lin Chen helped Li Meiying to a nearby chair and crouched on the ground to take off her high heels.

"Lin Chen, what are you doing?" Li Meiying asked, taken aback.

"I'm going to massage it a bit, that should stop the pain," Lin Chen said with a smile.

"No need, I'll just put some ice on it when I get home," said Li Meiying, her cheeks flushing.

Li Meiying's foot had never been touched by a man, and her heart trembled slightly when Lin Chen's hands touched the top of her foot.

"If you don't want to be in a cast tomorrow, you'd better listen," Lin Chen said sternly with a somber look on his face.

Seeing Lin Chen's serious demeanor, Li Meiying was initially stunned, then she couldn't help but smile wryly.

She was actually being scolded by a student, but strangely, it felt somewhat sweet.

Lin Chen took off Li Meiying's black stockings and started to gently massage her ankle.

With the massage, Lin Chen channeled a stream of True Qi into the injured part of Li Meiying's ankle.

A cool sensation washed over her, and Li Meiying was surprised to find that her foot no longer hurt.

"Heavens, how did you do that!" exclaimed Li Meiying, shocked.

"Hehe, I've learned a bit of massage therapy, but even though it feels better now, you still need to rest," Lin Chen advised.

Li Meiying nodded, "Got it, little Divine Doctor."

Not far from them, a modified Audi coupe slowly pulled up to the curb.

The window rolled down, and a pretty face wearing sunglasses peeked out curiously.

"Huh, what's my brother-in-law doing? Kneeling there and touching a girl's foot, does he have that kind of fetish?" Xue Zi Qi said with a mischievous smile playing on her lips.

Just after Lin Chen had seen Li Meiying into her home, the Audi coupe parked beside Lin Chen.

"Brother-in-law, I've caught you in the act!"

Seeing that face, Lin Chen was startled, "What are you doing here?"

Xue Zi Qi took off her sunglasses and dangled her feet in front of Lin Chen, "Brother-in-law, do you think my little feet are pretty?"

Lin Chen looked at her feet, which were indeed white and tender—an exceptional sight.

But he quickly came to his senses, "Scram, I don't have that kind of interest."

"Hmph, I saw everything just now. You were kneeling on the ground massaging that girl's foot," Xue Zi Qi retorted with a pout.

"I was crouching, not kneeling, and she's my teacher. Her ankle was twisted," Lin Chen replied irritably.

"A teacher-student romance, huh?" Xue Zi Qi teased with a wicked grin.

"You, what's always going on in that little head of yours?" Lin Chen said, exasperated.

Xue Zi Qi snorted, "If there's nothing fishy going on, why are you still with her at nearly midnight?"

"I…" Lin Chen found himself at a loss for words.

"See, speechless now, aren't you? How about this, you do me a favor and I won't tell my sister about this," Xue Zi Qi said with a sly smile.

Lin Chen didn't intend to hide it from Xue Ying, but the circumstance was indeed a little hard to explain, so he asked, "What favor?"

Xue Zi Qi replied with a smile, "Get in the car. I'll tell you about it in the car."

Lin Chen got in the car, and then Xue Zi Qi said, "I'm going to race someone later. You'll act as my male companion."

"That simple?" Lin Chen was taken aback.

Xue Zi Qi smiled, "Buckle up. I'm about to speed up."

With that, Xue Zi Qi pressed the accelerator, and the roar of the engine accompanied the Audi coupe as it shot off like a lightning bolt.
