Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 116 - 112, Emergency!
Chapter 116: 112, Emergency!
The journey was filled with noise and chatter, and soon they arrived at Pu Sangzhi’s home.
Huo Feng could only take her to the door because as soon as they stood there, Pu Sangzhi wasn’t in a hurry to take out her keys but was eager to rush him away...
"Thanks for the ride home, you should head back now, bye," Pu Sangzhi said.
Huo Feng was very reluctant to leave.
His gaze traveled past Pu Sangzhi, resting on the door behind her, which seemed like Pandora’s box—mystically tempting him.
So, risking life and limb, Huo Feng spoke up, "I’m so thirsty, can I come in for a drink of water?"
To his surprise, Pu Sangzhi wasn’t tricked and flatly refused, "No way!"
Huo Feng pouted discontentedly, "That’s too much, not even a sip of water. Was last night’s feast at Guixin Garden just for the dogs?"
Hearing him compare her to a dog again, Pu Sangzhi got annoyed and pushed him, saying, "Until you quit calling my mom ’mother-in-law’, I’m forbidding you and dogs from entering my house! Unless..."
Huo Feng’s eyes shone with anticipation, "Unless what?"
Pu Sangzhi looked up and replied, "Unless you stop chasing me, stop saying you like me, get a new girlfriend, then I can invite you in as a classmate!"
Huo Feng’s phoenix eyes narrowed into slits, this time replying with full confidence, "In your dreams!"
Pu Sangzhi let out a laugh, clearly amused.
Huo Feng ruffled her hair with a height advantage and declared, "You’ll never shake me off in this lifetime. Better kill that thought now!"
Afterward, Huo Feng raised his hand to wave goodbye, deciding not to struggle any longer, "Alright, I’m leaving! Don’t miss me too much!"
But just as he turned to leave, Pu Sangzhi suddenly called out behind him, "Huo Feng."
Huo Feng turned around with delight, "What is it? Miss me already? Feel like a drink of water?"
Pu Sangzhi laughed again and said, "You wish. I’m just telling you to come over for a tutorial tomorrow afternoon!"
Huo Feng nodded, replying with slight hesitation, "I’ll see."
Pu Sangzhi asked, "What do you mean?"
Huo Feng replied, "I will if I’m still alive." He feared he might be killed by his father tonight...
Pu Sangzhi: "?"
"Okay, I’m really leaving now. Bye, girlfriend."
Having concluded, Huo Feng truly waved goodbye and left her. frёeωebɳovel.com
As she watched Huo Feng leave the alleyway, Pu Sangzhi finally took out her keys and turned to open the door.
At that moment, she was in quite a good mood.
Though the past couple of days of the sports event were busy and exhausting, and she had been wronged and injured, the retrospective fulfillment made it all feel worthwhile.
Thinking of the various silly yet endearing things Huo Feng had done these past two days, she felt an indescribable warmth.
In summary, Pu Sangzhi was quite happy.
She opened the front door, stepped over the threshold with her injured foot.
It was then that she discovered her foot actually moved quite well, as long as she didn’t apply too much pressure; walking slowly on her own wasn’t an issue at all.
She was unnecessarily taken advantage of by Huo Feng several times!
Pu Sangzhi grumbled to herself.
"Sangzhi!"
Just as Pu Sangzhi was about to take off her shoes and walk into the living room, somebody suddenly called her from behind.
Turning around at the sound, she saw Lin Qianqian’s mother, Wu Cuidi, hurrying towards her from across the way.
Pu Sangzhi was startled, "Auntie Wu?"
Wu Cuidi, flustered, reached Pu Sangzhi’s side and took a breath before speaking, "Sangzhi, your auntie and Qianqian’s dad had to rush out with the truck; we’ve got a batch of goods to deliver urgently. But Qianqian isn’t home yet, and I’m worried. You’ve just returned, could you keep an eye out for Qianqian later on?"
Pu Sangzhi nodded quickly, "Auntie, what do you need me to do?"
Wu Cuidi glanced back at her front door, saying, "That girl Qianqian should have been out of school by now; she must have run off somewhere again. Help me see what time she gets home and give me a ring when she does. You’ve got my number, right?"
Pu Sangzhi quickly put down her backpack and took out pen and paper, "Auntie, tell me, I’ll note it down."
Wu Cuidi rattled off her number swiftly and also gave Pu Sangzhi Lin Qianqian’s number, adding, "Just let me know once Qianqian’s home. I’m worried she might play too hard and come back too late. Oh, and if she’s really late, give her a call to hurry her home. She loves playing too much, can’t be controlled."
Pu Sangzhi nodded, "Okay, got it, auntie."
Wu Cuidi: "Thank you so much, Sangzhi. I need to get going now, the truck’s waiting."
Pu Sangzhi nodded repeatedly, "Sure, auntie, don’t worry and go ahead."
After finishing her requests, Wu Cuidi rushed off.
Wu Cuidi and her husband were always on the road, their job being to transport goods, traversing both long and short distances.
Such a job meant the couple was often away from home.
Lin Qianqian’s personality had become wild as a result, often defying restraint.
Watching Wu Cuidi close her front door and hurry towards the alley’s exit, Pu Sangzhi felt deeply touched.
She thought that probably it was because of her family that Lin Qianqian was now so carefree and undisciplined.
Perhaps Lin Qianqian now preferred her parents not being home, yearning for more freedom.
After entering her house, she greeted her mother and took the phone from her, immediately calling Lin Qianqian.
She decided to urge Lin Qianqian to come home now and to tutor her in the evening, implementing some control over her.
Lin Qianqian’s phone was quickly connected, and Pu Sangzhi announced herself, "Qianqian, it’s me. Have you finished school? When will you be back?"
Just as she was asking, Pu Sangzhi suddenly heard a strange noise over the phone...
"Qianqian?"
She heard a burst of strange static noise through the phone.
Listening closely, she discerned screams, laughter, and a very messy conversation.
Pu Sangzhi’s brow furrowed slightly as she asked, "Qianqian? Are you fighting again?"
The response was still a jumble of noises.
Pu Sangzhi turned on the speakerphone and listened even more closely...
This listen was utterly alarming!
She seemed to hear Lin Qianqian’s sobs, cries for help, and laughter from a mix of men and women...
"Qianqian?"
Pu Sangzhi called out over the phone, her emotions beginning to surge and panic setting in.
But no one responded, and the sounds seemed very distant as though the phone had been thrown to the side.
The sudden emergency left Pu Sangzhi’s mind blank.
Never having dealt with such a situation before, she felt completely at a loss and unsure of what to do.
She listened carefully once more and heard Lin Qianqian’s crying becoming even clearer.
Not only that, but Pu Sangzhi even faintly heard a brash female voice say, "Should we strip her clothes off and record a video of her?"
That sentence made Pu Sangzhi unable to sit still any longer!
She hung up immediately, hurriedly put on her shoes, and limped out of the house.
Though walking was very difficult for her, in her urgent state of mind, she could no longer care about the pain in her foot.
She wondered if she could catch up with Huo Feng?
Unable to handle the situation herself, she could only look for Huo Feng!
Pu Sangzhi hobbled to the mouth of the alley but there was no sign of Huo Feng.
With the phone in her hand, she did not have Huo Feng’s number, and her anxiety was evident in her furrowed brows...
Having no other option, Pu Sangzhi hurriedly hailed a taxi and rushed towards Tangxia Town No.1 Middle School where Lin Qianqian studied.
On the taxi ride, Pu Sangzhi pieced together her memories and finally recalled Zhu Dandan’s mobile number.
Thankfully, she had a good memory. She once recharged Zhu Dandan’s phone credit, and that number remained etched in her mind.
Otherwise, Pu Sangzhi would have truly been out of options now.
After calling Zhu Dandan several times before getting through, luckily, she managed to obtain Huo Feng’s number from her and finally got in touch with him.
As she called Huo Feng, the taxi had already reached Tangxia Town No.1 Middle School. Pu Sangzhi hurried to pay, hurried to alight, and hurriedly explained Lin Qianqian’s situation.
Frantic and at a loss, she immediately asked Huo Feng, "What should we do, Huo Feng? Where do you think this kind of thing usually happens? I need to get there right away..."
At the time, Huo Feng was on the way back, on a bus that wouldn’t stop until the station, and it was driving him crazy with worry!
This was a case of school violence that Huo Feng absolutely would not allow Pu Sangzhi to be involved in, so he strenuously insisted, "Stay calm! Wait for me at the school entrance and don’t move! Don’t go anywhere! We’ll talk when I get there!"
Pu Sangzhi, increasingly anxious, said, "Then hurry up. I can’t reach Qianqian’s phone anymore, what should I do?"
Huo Feng urgently replied, "Whatever happens, it has nothing to do with you! Stand there and don’t move! Wait for me to come!"
Pu Sangzhi nodded with a frown, "Then I’ll hang up, come quickly."
Huo Feng, still worried, said again, "I’ll be there in five minutes! Don’t move!"
Pu Sangzhi responded, "Okay."
The call ended, the bus finally arrived at the next stop, and as soon as the door opened, Huo Feng dashed out like the wind!
He immediately hailed a taxi and rushed to the scene.
But before he arrived, Pu Sangzhi had not obediently waited at the school gate for him as instructed.
She searched around the school and finally came across a small alley. Inside, a horrifying incident of school violence was unfolding...
