“You what?”
Su Qinghe immediately cut off the teacher.
“You can’t see that Qin Wang’s mouth is already split open? Don’t tell me you’re going to say he did that to himself by being careless and falling?”
“Wang Kuan, that fat kid, and his little followers are clearly lying—are you just pretending to be deaf and dumb and ignoring it?”
“Someone like you still deserves to be a teacher? I think you should be paraded around with a sign on your neck! You should be publicly criticized!”
“You wait! I’m going to write a complaint letter right now! I’m going to write big-character posters right now! I’m going to expose everything you’ve done so everyone can see what a hypocrite you are! You’re a beast in human skin! A wolf in disguise! A cancer in the system! It’s your negligence that leads children onto the wrong path and makes them suffer! You should have your head shaved and be publicly shamed!”
After firing off her tirade in one breath, Su Qinghe grabbed Qin Wang and was about to leave.
The teacher’s face had already gone pale. She was trembling so badly she could barely speak.
Although she couldn’t get the words out, she knew she couldn’t let Su Qinghe leave like this.
Otherwise, she was finished.
Stumbling forward, the teacher grabbed Su Qinghe’s arm and almost knelt down.
“Com… comrade! Please don’t go! Let me ask again! I’ll ask again!”
Su Qinghe pulled her hand away. “What’s there to ask? Didn’t they already say they didn’t bully Qin Wang?”
The teacher immediately turned sternly to Wang Kuan and the others.
“I’m asking you again—did you or did you not bully Qin Wang?”
Before they could answer, she quickly added:
“If you don’t tell the truth, she can report me—and she can report all of you too. You’re not afraid, but aren’t you afraid your parents will lose their jobs?”
After all, they were only eight or nine years old. No matter how bold they were, they still had limits.
Hearing this threat, Wang Kuan’s group immediately cracked.
“Yes, teacher! Wang Kuan hit Qin Wang!”
“Yes! It was all Wang Kuan! We just stood there to back him up!”
“Wang Kuan told us to watch and make sure Qin Wang didn’t run away. He said once they got the money and coupons to buy food, he’d share some with us!”
Just moments ago they were “good brothers,” but now they had not only sold him out—they were trampling on him too.
Wang Kuan immediately burst into tears.
“I’m going to find my dad! You’re all bullying me!”
Su Qinghe immediately said, “Go ahead! Call your dad right now! Is there a phone at school? Call him! I’ll call Qin Wang’s father too!”
Before Wang Kuan or the teacher could respond, Qin Wang spoke up first.
“No! Don’t call my dad!”
He had already caused his father enough trouble. He couldn’t drag him into this.
Su Qinghe raised an eyebrow. “Why not?”
“No means no! My matters don’t need you to interfere!” Qin Wang’s tone turned fierce again.
“Heh.” Su Qinghe sneered. “Oh, so you’re tough at home but useless outside? What’s the point of being fierce at me? Be fierce at the people bullying you!”
Qin Wang froze for a moment.
Then he suddenly turned his glare toward Wang Kuan, his eyes burning with anger.
It’s all because of him!
If they hadn’t bullied him, Su Qinghe wouldn’t have seen it.
And if she hadn’t seen it, she wouldn’t be calling his dad.
Under that stare, Wang Kuan’s fat body trembled.
Not because he was timid—but because that look was terrifying.
Like a little wolf cub.
Before he could even finish thinking, Qin Wang already pounced.
Even though he was much thinner than Wang Kuan, he knocked him down instantly.
He straddled him and began swinging his fists, hitting him again and again.
Wang Kuan, being fat and thick-skinned, screamed loudly, but he wasn’t actually seriously injured.
The teacher was completely stunned.
Qin Wang had always been the one being bullied. Even when he was beaten, he never said a word—let alone fought back.
What had changed today?
Not only had he learned to resist—he’d learned to hit people!
It must be that stepmother’s influence!
As expected, stepmothers can be wicked!
On the surface she was helping him, but in reality she was encouraging him to fight—she was corrupting him!
Meanwhile, Su Qinghe didn’t know what the teacher was thinking, but she did hear the system notification.
【Hidden task completed: Inciting the male lead to fight.】
Inciting him?
She didn’t! She didn’t do anything! Don’t talk nonsense!
【Reward: 500 cultivation points.】
Su Qinghe instantly broke into a bright smile, showing two rows of perfectly white teeth.
Fine.
She did it.
Her balance jumped from 103 to 603.
Instant wealth!
Inside, she was already dancing with joy, but on the surface she remained calm.
Just as Qin Wang finished a few punches and was out of breath, she stepped forward.
“Get up! If you don’t, I’ll call your dad!”
Qin Wang glared at her again.
This woman—did she know any other line besides that?
“Don’t look at me like that,” Su Qinghe said cheerfully. “It doesn’t need to be new. It just needs to work.”
Seeing Qin Wang stand up, the teacher quickly helped Wang Kuan up.
“How are you, Wang Kuan?”
Wang Kuan, still crying and covered in snot and tears, immediately wailed louder.
“He hit me! I’m going to find my dad! I’m calling my dad!”
Su Qinghe pulled up a chair and sat down.
“Go ahead. I’ll wait for your dad.”
This matter had to be resolved today.
Otherwise, Qin Wang would keep being bullied at school.
The teacher took the noisy Wang Kuan away.
Phones were rare items in this era. The teachers’ office didn’t have one—they had to go to the reception room.
After they left, only Su Qinghe and Qin Wang remained in the office.
Qin Wang stared at her.
“You’re not allowed to call my dad! And you’re not allowed to tell him about this!”
“Fine,” Su Qinghe agreed easily.
But the easier she agreed, the more suspicious Qin Wang felt.
“Why did you agree so quickly? Are you just going to promise me now and then tell my dad later tonight?”
How dare he doubt her?
Su Qinghe snorted. “If I lie, I’m a dog.”
That sentence was lethal.
Qin Wang, who had just been suspicious, immediately relaxed.
After a moment of silence, he added:
“When Wang Kuan’s dad comes later… if he wants to hit someone, let him hit me.”
