"Yes!"

Zhang San and Li Si immediately pinned Zhu Bajie to the ground. A group of people surrounded him and started kicking and punching him.

"Ah, no, spare me."

"Don't hit me, I was wrong."

"Boss Hao, didn't we agree that I'd pay you to teach Jiang Feng a lesson? Why are you going back on your word? You can't hit me."

Zhu Bajie screamed in agony.

"Spit! You made me offend a senior. Who else should I hit if not you? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in this mess. Beat him, beat him hard," Hao Daxiong spat on Zhu Bajie's face disdainfully.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Fists and feet rained down on Zhu Bajie, leaving him defenseless. He could only curl up and endure the sudden beating.

The classmates who used to follow Zhu Bajie's lead were now silent, not daring to plead for him. They huddled in a corner, trembling with fear.

Such is the fickleness of human nature.

"Cheng Zhenjie, who hit you earlier? Go hit them back, tenfold, a hundredfold," Jiang Feng said to Cheng Zhenjie.

"Alright, I know what to do." Cheng Zhenjie grinned, wiped the blood from his forehead, and walked towards Jiang Yang.

"Come out here," Cheng Zhenjie grabbed Jiang Yang and roared, "You were so arrogant earlier, relying on Zhu Bajie. Let's see how arrogant you are now."

Slap!

Cheng Zhenjie slapped Jiang Yang hard, leaving half of Jiang Yang's face swollen with a red handprint.

"Feels good, hahaha!" Cheng Zhenjie laughed, "Today, I'll show you what I'm made of."

Cheng Zhenjie rolled up his sleeves and started beating Jiang Yang fiercely.

Jiang Yang remained silent, enduring Cheng Zhenjie's punches and kicks.

It wasn't that Jiang Yang was tough, but he didn't dare to make a sound or fight back. He knew that if he begged for mercy or fought back, he'd be beaten even worse.

The situation had completely changed. Jiang Feng and Cheng Zhenjie were now the protagonists, while Zhu Bajie and Jiang Yang had become cowards.

As for the others, they were just spectators, unable to intervene or speak.

"Ah..."

Zhu Bajie let out a chilling scream.

Zhang San and Li Si had driven knives through Zhu Bajie's hands, pinning them to the ground.

Then, Zhang San and Li Si pulled on Zhu Bajie's hands, tearing them apart with a sickening sound. Blood splattered everywhere, making it impossible to distinguish between bone and flesh.

Zhu Bajie's hands were completely ruined.

But Zhang San and Li Si weren't done. They moved on to Zhu Bajie's legs, pulling out sharp daggers from their pockets. With a glance at each other, they simultaneously stabbed Zhu Bajie's heels, eliciting another scream.

Zhu Bajie's legs were also destroyed. In an instant, the once-arrogant Zhu Bajie had become a cripple, his future and life ruined.

Zhu Bajie's screams sent chills down the spines of all the classmates present, especially Xiao Wanjun. She was now tied to Zhu Bajie, hoping to benefit from him.

She had given him her body, youth, and future. If something happened to him, all her efforts would be in vain.

Everything she had sacrificed and worked for would become a joke.

With Zhu Bajie crippled, what would she do? The person she relied on the most was now useless. What could she do?

"No," Xiao Wanjun threw herself over Zhu Bajie, trying to protect him.

But what use was there in defending him now?

"Please, spare his life, I beg you," Xiao Wanjun cried.

"Wow, this girl is quite pretty, very charming. I like her," Hao Daxiong ignored Xiao Wanjun's pleas and was quickly captivated by her beauty.

As the school beauty of Meilong Middle School, Xiao Wanjun naturally attracted many men wherever she went.

It wasn't surprising that she caught Hao Daxiong's eye.

"Take her away. I want to enjoy her tonight," Hao Daxiong ordered.

But then he remembered Jiang Feng was still present. He couldn't make such a decision without consulting Jiang Feng.

Thinking of this, Hao Daxiong immediately lowered his voice and asked, "Senior, you won't be angry if I do this, right? If you think it's inappropriate, I'll release her immediately."

"I already said, do whatever you want. Beating people, taking people, it's all your business. Even if someone dies, it has nothing to do with me," Jiang Feng replied.

"Haha, since you have no objections, I'll go ahead," Hao Daxiong was delighted. It seemed Jiang Feng wasn't that overbearing. Maybe he could try to befriend him in the future. Such a powerful person could be a great help someday.

Hao Daxiong waved his hand, signaling for Xiao Wanjun to be taken away.

"Jiang Feng, can you really bear to see me defiled by these people?" Xiao Wanjun cried out.

She had no other choice now. To protect her reputation, she had to beg Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng looked at her coldly and said indifferently, "Why should I care? Do we still have any relationship?"

Jiang Feng's words left Xiao Wanjun speechless. She had been the one to say they had nothing to do with each other anymore. Now that she was begging Jiang Feng, he had every reason to ignore her.

"Do you have no sense of decency at all?" Xiao Wanjun's tears flowed.

"Decency?" Jiang Feng laughed, "What a joke. You still have the face to talk about decency with me? It's the biggest irony."

"..." Xiao Wanjun.

"It's not that I don't want to help you. Don't think I'm petty. The truth is, you brought this on yourselves. I've let you off many times, but you never learn. You keep pushing your luck. The consequences you're facing today are your own doing. It has nothing to do with me," Jiang Feng said firmly.

His words were reasonable and irrefutable.

Xiao Wanjun lowered her head. Jiang Feng was right. Everything was her own choice. It was too late to beg now.

"Jiang Feng, I'm begging you, please save Wanjun," Zhu Bajie, surprisingly, pleaded for Xiao Wanjun. It was a rare sight.

"And how do you plan to beg me?" Jiang Feng seemed interested.

Zhu Bajie gritted his teeth, using his mangled hands to prop himself up, struggling to kneel.

Even such a simple action made Zhu Bajie sweat profusely, with beads of sweat dripping from his nose.

"I'll kowtow to you. Please spare Wanjun," Zhu Bajie knocked his head heavily on the ground.

Zhu Bajie's action surprised Jiang Feng. He had always thought Zhu Bajie was just playing with Xiao Wanjun, never truly caring for her. Today, Zhu Bajie was willing to kowtow and beg for her, which was unexpected.

"Can you tell me your reason?" Jiang Feng asked.

"No reason. Even though I never treated Wanjun seriously, I do like her. That's undeniable," Zhu Bajie said with a bitter smile.

Jiang Feng nodded slightly. At this moment, he didn't dislike Zhu Bajie as much. At least Zhu Bajie was someone who could take responsibility for his actions.

Xiao Wanjun was deeply moved, hugging the battered Zhu Bajie and crying, "Don't worry. No matter how you treated me before or what happens in the future, I'll take care of you for the rest of my life, as long as you don't mind."

"Look at you. As long as you don't mind, I'll be grateful. How could I dare to mind you?" Zhu Bajie replied.

The two of them showing true feelings at this moment was a dramatic scene that no one expected.

Hao Daxiong looked at Jiang Feng, waiting for his final decision.

Jiang Feng remained silent, reflecting on himself. He shouldn't be so heartless. He should act like a man. Let the past be the past; it had nothing to do with today.

"Hao Daxiong, for my sake, let them go," Jiang Feng finally decided.

"Senior, your word is my command," Hao Daxiong replied.

Hao Daxiong waved his hand, signaling everyone to retreat, sparing Xiao Wanjun.

"Alright, I'm done here. I'm leaving," Jiang Feng said.

"Let me see you off, Senior," Hao Daxiong offered.

"Cheng Zhenjie, let's go," Jiang Feng called out to Cheng Zhenjie.

"Alright, I've got my revenge. It feels damn good," Cheng Zhenjie said, touching his nose and looking at the curled-up Jiang Yang with satisfaction.

"Jiang Feng, wait a moment," a male classmate called out to Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng turned and asked, "What is it?"

Jiang Feng had no good feelings towards these classmates. They were all fair-weather friends, swaying with the wind.

"It's like this. We were all incited by Zhu Bajie. Before we came, he called us, promising five thousand yuan each if we helped him deal with you. So..." the boy explained.

"So you were tempted by money and agreed to his request?" Jiang Feng asked.

"Yes, yes, no, it's not like that. We were used, yes, used. Please don't take it to heart. We know we were wrong," the boy said, blushing.

"Used?" Jiang Feng asked.

"Yes, definitely used. We have no grudge against you. Why would we go against you? It was all a misunderstanding," the boy said.

"Yes, it was a misunderstanding. We were used by Zhu Bajie."

"And Xiao Wanjun, she also incited us."

"And Jiang Yang, he was involved too. We didn't mean to target you."

"Blame them, not us. We were just doing it for the money."

"Yes, Jiang Feng, please don't hold a grudge. We're sorry."

"Sorry."

"Sorry."

"We were wrong."

"I was wrong."

"..."

Everyone admitted their mistakes, their attitudes seemingly sincere.

But to Jiang Feng, these people were even more detestable, their faces even uglier. If he could, he would wipe them all out.

What a bunch of shameless brats.

Jiang Feng said coldly, "Do your apologies mean anything now? We'll only be together for a few more months, then we'll go our separate ways. We won't know each other anymore. What's the point of apologizing? Forget it."

After saying this, Jiang Feng walked away, not giving these people another glance.
