From a distance, seeing Cui Ying slapped by Xu Ying, Zhang Peng's face darkened.
"Tian Ge, I'll go first. Hurry up. If I get beaten, you'll pay me."
"Zhang Peng, don't be impulsive, wait for me to come over."
On the other end of the phone, Qin Tian's somewhat anxious voice came.
"It's okay, just two people. We might not lose. I'll hang up now."
After speaking, Zhang Peng directly hung up the phone.
He stuffed his phone back into his pocket, looked down around his feet, but didn't find any bricks or anything similar.
So, steeling himself, he walked towards Xu Ying and the others, shouting loudly.
His curses carried a familiar, infuriating tone.
Not only Xu Ying, but Cui Ying and Qiu Man also instantly guessed who it was. Hope flickered in both girls' eyes as they turned their heads expectantly.
When they saw only Zhang Peng, the light in their eyes immediately dimmed.
"Don't be scared, your Grandpa Zhang is here."
Zhang Peng shouted to them, swaggering with an air of indifference.
"Yingying, who is this idiot?"
Jiang Hang asked with a look of disgust.
"He's a scoundrel from our class, and also in their current circle."
Xu Ying casually explained.
Seeing that only Zhang Peng had come, she also felt relieved.
As long as Qiu Man's younger brother was there, they wouldn't dare report it to the teacher.
"Jiang Hang, what do you say? Should we beat this guy up? He's annoying just looking at him!"
The guy with his hands in his pockets smiled and said to Jiang Hang.
Anyone who acted more pretentious than him he found displeasing.
"Whatever you say!"
Jiang Hang shrugged indifferently.
"Hehe..."
The guy chuckled sinisterly, took his hands out of his jeans pockets, interlaced his fingers, and walked towards Zhang Peng, circling around Cui Ying and Qiu Man.
"Zhang Peng, don't come!"
Cui Ying's expression changed, and she yelled at Zhang Peng.
However, Zhang Peng acted as if he didn't hear, grinning at the guy walking towards him, "Just you? Looking down on your dad?"
The guy's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth, "You're asking for death?"
"Come, come, your dad will teach you how to be a man."
Zhang Peng beckoned him over.
"Damn!"
The guy cursed, then charged forward aggressively.
Just then, Zhang Peng suddenly looked at the ground at the guy's feet and exclaimed loudly, "Watch out, banana peel!"
The guy immediately stopped and looked down.
Zhang Peng lunged forward a few steps and delivered a flying kick, sending him stumbling back two paces.
"Son of a bitch!"
The guy clutched his stomach, glaring at Zhang Peng with murderous eyes.
"You're the one who's stupid, don't blame me."
Zhang Peng shrugged, then pointed to his head, "My good son, fighting isn't just about fists!"
"I'll kill you!"
The guy's eyes turned red, feeling this was an unprecedented humiliation.
"Oh dear, don't do that, I'm so scared..."
Zhang Peng pretended to be fearful and backed away.
"If you have guts, don't dodge!"
The guy quickly closed in.
"Your dad isn't as stupid as you are. If you have guts, don't chase!"
Zhang Peng said with a smile.
The guy charged directly.
Zhang Peng bolted and ran, inflicting psychological damage with his best weapon: his mouth.
Thus, under the astonished gaze of Cui Ying and the others, Zhang Peng led the guy in circles around them.
Zhang Peng's fighting ability was inversely proportional to his verbal prowess.
He certainly couldn't beat the guy, but he was fast on his feet.
He wasn't a fool; he had said that if he got beaten, Qin Tian would avenge him, but if he could avoid getting beaten and stall for time, that would be the best strategy!
"Jiang Hang, block this bastard!"
The guy was so angry he was almost having a stroke, but he couldn't catch up to Zhang Peng for the moment and had to seek help from Jiang Hang.
"What is all this!"
Jiang Hang gave a wry smile, feeling somewhat reluctant. The main thing was that that scoundrel's mouth was too venomous, and he didn't want to be insulted himself.
"Hang Ge, he might be stalling for time."
Xu Ying guessed something, saying with a slightly grim expression.
Jiang Hang paused for a moment, nodded, and joined the somewhat comical chase.
The two, one in front and one behind, quickly cornered Zhang Peng.
"Hey, do you guys have no shame? If you have the guts, fight me one on one!"
Zhang Peng looked left and right as if facing a formidable enemy, not forgetting to continue his taunts.
"Keep babbling. For every word you say, I'll give you that many slaps later!"
The guy sneered.
"Let me tell you, I'm Hao Nan Ge from Middle School Number Four, and hundreds of brothers are on their way. I advise you two to think carefully. It's not too late to run now."
Zhang Peng made a serious threat.
"Damn, you talk too much."
The guy's patience had run out completely.
"Stop, try and touch him."
Suddenly, another angry shout came.
Xu Ying's face turned pale, and her fearful gaze followed the sound. The ominous premonition in her heart intensified.
Seeing Qin Tian galloping from a distance, Cui Ying and Qiu Man were overjoyed to the point of tears.
"Tian Ge... hurry and save me!"
Zhang Peng shouted excitedly.
"Make a move, take down this scoundrel first!"
Jiang Hang's expression was somewhat solemn, and he said to his companion.
The guy nodded and, along with Jiang Hang, attacked Zhang Peng.
"Holy crap, you two scoundrels, you only know how to bully me, huh? Hey, can't reach me, can't reach me, ah..."
Zhang Peng babbled incessantly while dodging left and right.
Unfortunately, his footwork wasn't agile enough, and he still took a kick to the back and a punch to the chest.
At this moment, Qin Tian, who had dropped off Xia Nuannuan and rushed over, had arrived. He flew up and kicked the guy away.
The guy's entire body slid several meters on the ground before he finally stopped.
Jiang Hang clenched his fist and punched directly towards Qin Tian's face.
Qin Tian tilted his head, easily dodging, and then swung his right elbow.
Jiang Hang instantly cried out in pain, his eyes wide, doubled over, and he fell to the ground, clutching his stomach and rolling around frantically.
"Are you okay?"
Qin Tian asked Zhang Peng beside him.
"No, no problem."
Zhang Peng touched his chest where he had been punched, looked at the two who had instantly collapsed, and exclaimed, "Holy smokes, Tian Ge, when did you meet a master and cultivate supreme martial arts?"
"Stop fooling around."
Qin Tian rolled his eyes, too lazy to banter with him. His gaze fell upon Cui Ying and Qiu Man.
Seeing Cui Ying's slightly red and swollen cheek, Qin Tian frowned slightly, his sharp gaze settling on Xu Ying.
Xu Ying's face turned ashen, and her body trembled like a sieve.
"Cui Ying, Qiu Man, are you alright?"
Xia Nuannuan also caught up, panting, and asked with concern.
The two girls looked at Xia Nuannuan running towards them from a distance, their hearts filled with emotion.
"We're fine."
Cui Ying responded loudly, slightly turning her head and lowering it, not wanting Xia Nuannuan to see her left cheek that had been slapped.
