Chapter 50: The Ancestor Is the Tyrant of Seventh High!

Gong Lu seemed surprised that she would speak to him. He paused for a moment, then smiled and said, “You’ll find out in time.” Clearly, he had no intention of answering her now.

Ye Luo didn’t press further. She simply left, got into the car, and headed to school.

...

The car stopped at the entrance of Seventh High. As soon as Ye Luo got out, she saw two students dashing into the school in panic, shouting, “Ahhh! The school bully is fighting again! In the alley ahead!”

Ancestor!

At the mention of “school bully,” Ye Luo’s first reaction was her ancestor. She hurried toward the alley. Before she even reached the entrance, she saw Ye Wuqi, hands in his pockets, swaggering out with casual arrogance.

Her premonition was confirmed, and Ye Luo froze in her tracks.

So it was true...

Yan Baba and Lei Xingxing followed closely behind Ye Wuqi. Yan Baba, with his mop of yellow hair, now had a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, giving him a roguish look. Lei Xingxing, the hulking gorilla, was sobbing miserably, wiping his tears, shoulders trembling as if he were a child.

“Hey, Sister Luo, what are you doing here?” Ye Wuqi was the first to spot her. His expression changed instantly, and he pulled his hands out of his pockets, hurrying over with genuine delight.

Ye Luo’s face was impassive. She said truthfully, “I just heard someone say the school bully was fighting in the alley, so I came to see.”

Ye Wuqi widened his eyes dramatically. “You’re really fearless! Everyone else would run from him, but you came to check it out? You’d better not look. Just see the gorilla—he got beaten up by the school bully and cried.”

Upon hearing this, Lei Xingxing was baffled. Yan Baba was dumbfounded as well, the blade of grass falling from his mouth.

Ye Wuqi continued, “I’ll tell you, that school bully is Qin Zhaoyu. He’s really peculiar—when he fights, he needs two spectators, so he called Baba and me over. The gorilla’s always with us, so with one extra, he beat up the gorilla. Look at this big guy—Qin Zhaoyu beating him is like squashing a soft fruit, shows you how tough Qin Zhaoyu is.”

Ye Luo simply asked, “Didn’t you say the school bully and his brother went abroad to visit their parents, and wouldn’t be back for at least ten days?”

“He came back early!” Ye Wuqi answered smoothly.

Ye Luo said only, “Do I look stupid?”

“Huh?” Ye Wuqi didn’t react at first.

“Do I look stupid to you?”

“Uh…”

Ye Luo didn’t wait for his reply, nor did she bother to check the alley for a so-called Qin Zhaoyu. She turned and walked away.

“Hey, hey, hey!” Ye Wuqi suddenly panicked, as if a loved one was about to leave him forever. He rushed after her, arms open, blocking her path. “You’re not stupid—I am, okay? Let’s talk properly. Why just turn and leave? It’s scary.”

Yan Baba and Lei Xingxing hurried after them, but both wore expressions as if they were watching a show, offering no help to Ye Wuqi.

Ye Wuqi shot them a glare.

“So who are you?” Ye Luo asked calmly.

Ye Wuqi was suddenly nervous, afraid to lie again. He scratched his head, annoyed, and muttered, “Fine, fine, I’m the school bully. Happy now?”

Ye Luo closed her eyes for a moment.

He really was the school bully…

Only if he was the school bully would everything make sense.

“Why did you lie to me?” she asked quietly.
