Quick Transmigration: Why did you provoke him? He's love-struck!

Chapter 248 Thorny Rose (5)

A flash of malice crossed Yan Zhen's eyes when he thought of Jiang Xicun.

They've bullied her; it's time to let this young lady experience the wickedness of human nature.

She put the money away and left the school.

Yan Zhen rode a shared bicycle to a hardware store, a fertilizer store, a pharmacy, and a supermarket.

After spending two hours buying everything she needed, she was too exhausted to pedal her bicycle anymore and had to take a taxi back to school.

After resting briefly in her dormitory, she laboriously carried her things to the gymnasium.

The elite high school is very wealthy, with a bird's nest-shaped open-air gymnasium next to a five-story indoor gymnasium, so large that your footsteps echo.

Yan Zhen carried his bag and climbed the stairs to the sports hall. The first floor was an indoor basketball court, the second floor had some sports facilities that did not require much space, and when he reached the third floor, the stairs were covered with dust that had not been cleaned for a long time.

Only the bottom two floors of the gymnasium are commonly used. The third floor is the equipment room, while the fourth and fifth floors are idle and used to store discarded equipment, tables, chairs, and teaching aids. They are rarely visited.

Yan Zhen climbed to the fifth floor, looked around, and chose the classroom in the corner. She used the tools she brought to pry open the door lock. Inside, there were cobwebs everywhere and dust all over the place.

After putting down his bag, Yan Zhen began to set up a trap.

At 9 p.m., Jiang Xicun and several girls returned to their dormitory after finishing their evening self-study.

Several girls tried to curry favor with Jiang Xicun, praising her in every word and surrounding her like a star being surrounded by admirers.

As Jiang Xicun passed the first-year high school building, a boy blocked his way, presented him with a letter, and blushed as he began to speak: "Jiang Xicun, I..."

"A love letter?" Shen Yuan, the girl to Jiang Xicun's right, took the letter from the boy's hand and looked him up and down with a critical gaze.

Seeing that he was short, not particularly good-looking, and had a timid demeanor, Shen Yuan immediately smiled contemptuously: "There are no mirrors in the dorm, but you must have a pee, right? Before confessing your feelings, shouldn't you take a piss and see what you look like first?"

As soon as he said that, the other girls laughed.

Jiang Xicun watched this scene with a slight smile, but did not stop it.

The boy's face turned from red to white, and he reached out to snatch the letter back.

Shen Yuan stepped aside, quickly tore open the letter, and read it aloud: "Hello, classmate Jiang Xicun. Maybe you don't know who I am, but I've been paying attention to you for a long time. The first time I saw you at the school gate, I was deeply attracted by your aloof and independent temperament... Ugh! Isn't this just lust at first sight? You make it sound so nice, but do you even deserve to write a love letter to our Xicun?"

During the peak time after class, many students returning to their dormitories were attracted by this scene and stopped to watch.

The boy was so humiliated in public that he trembled slightly with anger. He met Jiang Xicun's mocking gaze, gritted his teeth, and turned to run away in a disheveled state.

The girls around Jiang Xicun laughed uproariously, as if they had witnessed a monkey show.

Amidst the joyful laughter, a marble suddenly shot down from the first-year high school building, hitting Shen Yuan squarely in the front tooth. She cried out in pain and fell backward to the ground.

The laughter stopped abruptly.

The two girls next to her quickly went to help Shen Yuan: "What's wrong?"

"Oh no, you're bleeding!"

Shen Yuan covered her mouth, blood seeping from between her fingers. Another girl pried her hand open and gasped, "You lost your front tooth."

Shen Yuan looked down at her front tooth, which was covered in blood, and her mind went blank. She burst into tears with a loud "Aww".

Jiang Xicun frowned and immediately looked up at the building. She happened to see the figure on the third floor who was wearing a hoodie and had his face obscured, and was aiming a slingshot at her.

Her heart skipped a beat, and before she could react, a marble shot down and hit her right breast.

Jiang Xicun staggered backward from the blow. The pain and numbness in her chest were secondary; what truly enraged her was the provocative act by the other party.

"She's upstairs!" Jiang Xicun threw down his schoolbag and led the chase, shouting, "Catch her!"

At her command, three or four girls rushed upstairs in different directions.

Jiang Xicun rushed up to the third floor in one breath, but the culprit was no longer in the corridor.

However, there is a fire escape corridor on the third floor of the first-year teaching building that leads directly to the gymnasium. She ran along the corridor to the gymnasium and saw a series of shoe prints on the ground leading to the fourth floor of the gymnasium.

Jiang Xicun snorted coldly and immediately rushed up to the fourth floor.

Sure enough, I saw a figure rushing towards the fifth floor in a panic. The person was so flustered that they even tripped on the stairs and almost fell while running upstairs.

Seeing the other person's extremely frightened appearance, Jiang Xicun was both annoyed and pleased. She shouted "Don't run!" and chased after him again.

This person dared to hide upstairs and ambush her, and now he's so afraid of her. When she catches him, she'll definitely hang him up and humiliate him severely!

She rushed up to the fifth floor, but the hallway was empty.

Because the classrooms were not in use, the lights in the hallway were not on.

Under the moonlight, the quiet, dusty corridor seemed eerie. The pale moonlight was reflected in the classroom windows. A gust of wind blew by, and a corner of the faded poster on the wall rustled as it peeled off.

Jiang Xicun belatedly realized she was scared. She planned to go downstairs first and wait for her group of friends to come up together to catch the bastard who had attacked her.

Thinking of this, she prepared to turn and leave, but as soon as she turned her head to the side, she caught a glimpse of two shadows on the ground out of the corner of her eye—one was hers, and the other was that of the attacker.

The other person appeared silently behind her, only a dozen centimeters away. Judging from the shadow, it looked like they were practically pressed against her back.

Jiang Xicun felt a chill run down his spine, and his mind went completely blank.

But having been arrogant for so many years, she wasn't exactly fearless. Realizing that the other person was shorter than her and quite thin despite wearing a large hoodie, she decided to take a gamble and catch him off guard by turning around and punching him.

But just as she clenched her fist, something suddenly pressed against her waist.

Jiang Xicun tensed up: "What are you going to do?"

The other person didn't answer, but just chuckled softly and pressed the switch with a "click".

Jiang Xicun felt a tingling sensation all over his body, his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground unconscious.

After successfully subduing Jiang Xicun with a stun gun, Yan Zhen dragged her into the last classroom, quickly messed up the shoe prints and drag marks on the floor, and then locked the door.

Before long, Jiang Xicun's group of friends caught up with them.

However, the girls were all timid. Seeing that there was no one in the hallway and it was dark all around, they didn't dare to check each classroom late at night.

One of them said, "Xi Cun isn't here, maybe he's gone somewhere else to look for her." The others chimed in, "Then let's hurry up and look somewhere else too," and then they hurriedly went downstairs and left.

The fifth floor returned to quiet.

Yan Zhen then took action, putting the unconscious Jiang Xicun into a rope knot and slowly hoisting him up to the ceiling.
