The Queen of Masks

Chapter 13: Ninth Master Says the Blow Was Too Light

At this moment, Yan Cai's chubby and bloated face flashed with a hint of guilt.

"It doesn't matter if there's surveillance or not; she hit me, that's a fact, and the whole class can back me up."

Luke Bai chuckled, "Hitting people is divided into two types: one is when you go looking for trouble, and the other is when trouble comes to you. Some people really deserve it; if their parents didn't educate them well, then they need to receive some tough love from society. Principal Zhang, don't you agree?"

Principal Zhang could only smile and nod repeatedly.

When Young Master Bai speaks, even if he points at a mule and says it's a horse, I still have to agree.

"What Young Master Bai said makes sense; let's check the surveillance first."

Principal Zhang instructed his secretary to go to the surveillance room, and soon the video was retrieved.

The secretary recorded the entire incident on his phone and returned to the principal's office. Principal Zhang played the whole video in front of everyone.

The first person who appeared in the video was Yan Cai; he stood in front of a desk, tearing apart review materials scattered everywhere before writing “Die, Little Third” in large letters with paint on the desk.

After a while, Nancy Gu walked into the classroom.

All of her classmates began to humiliate and mock her in various ways; among them, Yan Cai jumped around happily and spoke words that were unbearable to hear.

Seeing this, Mason Fu glanced at Nancy Gu with his cold eyes: "You went easy on him."

Nancy Gu looked at him; this man she had only met twice gave her absolute trust, warming her icy heart slightly.

Luke Bai snorted lightly and mocked: "Kid, you should be thankful you can still stand here."

With that girl's real ability, if she got serious about it, this little fatty would be beaten into a pile of meat paste right away.

However, Yan Cai had grown accustomed to being arrogant and domineering without realizing the seriousness of the situation at all.

He raised his bloated face angrily and protested: "Isn't it just tearing up her book? I'll just pay her back for it; what does it matter that she hit me?"

At this moment, Nancy Gu coldly turned towards Yan Cai after standing silently for a long time. "According to Article 213 of Huaguo Criminal Law," she stated coolly, "the behavior of long-term bullying the weak through verbal insults or extortion—even assault—can lead to imprisonment for up to three years or detention for those aged sixteen or older who are criminally liable.

" "Since I transferred here three months ago to Pingcheng No.1 High School, Yan Cai has repeatedly insulted me verbally and has extorted money from me multiple times as so-called protection fees. He has also physically assaulted me in front of our entire class; all these malicious acts took place within school premises with many witnesses present. Therefore today’s response was purely instinctive self-defense."

Based on her memory as the original owner of this body recalled numerous atrocious acts committed by Yan Cai against her—acts that were appalling—but unfortunately she had been too timid initially to resist. Nancy Gu firmly believed that mercy towards enemies is cruelty towards oneself. Today’s confrontation with Yan Cai was not impulsive. Yan Cai's prolonged bullying constituted a criminal case already; hence even though she fought back today—it fell under legitimate self-defense. A series of legal jargon left everyone present staring at her in astonishment. Yan Cai sneered mockingly. "So what if I bullied you? In Pingcheng who dares convict me?"

This spoiled brat had been arrogant since childhood; in his perception there wasn’t much issue with bullying a classmate at all.

Even when Nancy Gu cited relevant laws he remained unconcerned—confident that even if something went wrong his parents would bail him out.
