Chapter 1377: Chapter 1377

"It can’t be that there’s no money. You can go ask around. None of us are short on cash at school. Each of us has tens of thousands on our meal cards. I just topped up a hundred thousand yesterday, and you’ve used it all up."

With a grim expression, Brother Hao stared at Li Xiaoli: "You liar, I’m calling the police to arrest you."

"I’m not a liar. It’s your card that has no money."

Li Xiaoli shouted in frustration.

"Still trying to deny it. Either you return the hundred thousand to me, or I’ll call the police to arrest you. It’s your call."

Brother Hao said with a cold sneer.

"You, you guys deliberately set me up?"

By now, Li Xiaoli finally realized that these people weren’t really trying to help; it was truly a trap.

"Girl, you’d better be careful with your words. Clearly, you took our money and still want to deny it."

Liu Fengchang sneered, leeringly eyeing Li Xiaoli: "Or, just stay with us one night, then I won’t make you repay the money. Otherwise, we’ll have to call the police on you."

"That’s right; you make the decision yourself."

Brother Hao nodded in agreement.

This was the trap he had intentionally set for Li Xiaoli. If they had to take action, he would have the legal ground to justify arresting her later.

"Xiaoli, why is there a commotion?"

At this moment, Liu Mengting ran over.

Brother Hao’s eyes lit up, signaling to Big Guy with a glance.

Big Guy immediately blocked Liu Mengting: "Your friend stole Brother Hao’s meal card, spending a full hundred thousand. If you don’t pay today, you won’t be leaving."

"How did it turn into stealing? That’s not what happened, Sister Meng Meng, you saw it, their meal card had no money, they’re setting me up on purpose."

Li Xiaoli shouted anxiously.

"Bastards! I can also prove that the meal card had no money; you’re framing her."

Liu Mengting immediately became furious.

"You’re all in on it, of course, you’d back her up in your claims."

Brother Hao snorted coldly, impatiently remarking: "Stop wasting time, take them to the police station."

Big Guy and Liu Fengchang immediately charged at Li Xiaoli and Liu Mengting with menacing smiles.

"Anyone who dares touch them, I’ll take them down!"

A sharp voice sounded, and Chen Cang rushed over at the fastest speed, pulling Li Xiaoli and Liu Mengting behind him.

"What on earth happened?"

Tang Ming and Zhou Dafu also came over.

Li Xiaoli quickly recounted what happened.

"Wow, so it’s a group effort, huh?"

Brother Hao sneered sinisterly, "But even if there’s more of you, don’t think this matter will end peacefully today."

"Interesting, are you guys students at this school?"

Tang Ming stepped forward, looking oddly at Brother Hao.

"That’s right, this is our turf. If you don’t do as we say, you’ll have a rough time."

Brother Hao arrogantly nodded.

"How do you plan on making things rough for us?"

Tang Ming touched his chin, curiously gazing at Brother Hao.

"The girls go to the police station, and the guys get a beating."

Brother Hao snorted coldly.

Just as Brother Hao finished his words, his body flew out and fell heavily to the ground.

Big Guy and Liu Fengchang were dumbfounded. They didn’t see how Tang Ming moved, but Brother Hao was knocked away. What the hell happened?

"It hurts like hell; how dare you kick me."

Brother Hao fell to the ground, clutching his stomach, angrily roaring.

"Losers like you got into Imperial University? Looks like the school’s not as prestigious as it’s cracked up to be."

Tang Ming sneered disdainfully, "To bully someone right under my nose, you must be blind."

"Screw you, beat him up, beat him to death."

After climbing up, Brother Hao roared through gritted teeth.

"You dare hit Brother Hao? You’re courting death."

Big Guy and Liu Fengchang roared in anger, charging at Tang Ming fierily, only to end in...

Tang Ming swiftly kicked them both to the ground.

Brother Hao was left dumbfounded, having never imagined that a high schooler like Tang Ming could fight so well.

While Brother Hao was stunned, Li Xiaoli charged at him in fury, kicking him in the groin.

Brother Hao screamed in agony, falling to his knees—this kick was even harsher than Tang Ming’s.

Sitting in his chair, Zhuge Qing was utterly stunned, having never expected these high schoolers to be so savage, taking down all three athletic Brother Hao cronies.

"Everyone, everyone, this is a misunderstanding."

Zhuge Qing quickly stood up, gesturing with his hands, explaining: "It must be Brother Hao mistakenly identifying the meal card, hence this misunderstanding."

Tang Ming squinted his eyes, looking at Li Xiaoli: "Did he also bully you?"

"No, he’s a good person."

Li Xiaoli shook her head.

"Get lost. If we catch you bullying anyone again, it won’t just be a kick next time."

Tang Ming nodded at Zhuge Qing, not making things difficult for him.

"Damn it, I definitely..."

"Enough, let’s just go."

Zhuge Qing quickly interrupted Brother Hao, helping him up and walking away.

Big Guy and Liu Fengchang also clutched their stomachs, embarrassingly fleeing.

"I’m so pissed off! I can’t believe there are scumbags at Imperial University; I won’t apply here anymore."

Li Xiaoli said angrily.

"I feel very disappointed too."

"Idealism is rich, but reality is harsh."

Tang Ming shrugged, rubbing his stomach, "Damn, we should have made them pay for the meal first before leaving."

"Right, we’re going to starve."

Li Xiaoli exclaimed, looking around anxiously, only to find...

"A new student is here."

At this moment, a female student in a white tracksuit was ordering at the counter, presumably having just come upstairs.

"Let’s go borrow a meal card together this time, to avoid more trouble."

Tang Ming got excited and promptly headed towards the female student.

Brother Hao and the others stumbled out of the cafeteria, supporting each other.

"Damn, call someone, call them right now."

Brother Hao shakily took out his phone, cursing venomously: "These little brats dare act wildly on our turf; I must take them down."

"Right, I’ll call right away."

Big Guy also took out his phone to call for backup.

"Brother Hao, let it go! I don’t think those people are easy to deal with."

Zhuge Qing warned with concern: "Besides, this is a school. If it escalates, we might not be able to contain it."

"Bullshit! I was nearly kicked into being a eunuch; how can such a grudge not be avenged?"

Brother Hao glared at Zhuge Qing, "So what if it’s a school? Call the people over. If anything happens, I’ll be responsible."

"Zhuge Qing, you’re too cowardly! No student from our athletics department has ever feared a fight, and it’d be shameful if high schoolers walked all over us."

Liu Fengchang looked with disdain at Zhuge Qing.

"I, whatever, do as you please."

Zhuge Qing shrugged in frustration, knowing that if these guys hadn’t started trouble, they wouldn’t have ended up .
