Chapter 58

Only Wang Bai did not move, watching his teammates take out money and said, "Since we don't know him, why should we give him money?" Song Jemin clearly knew this Star Brother, but since that guy was turning his back on them, there was no need to be polite.

Li Xing, seeing someone step forward, took a closer look at the unremarkable guy who didn't look very strong and immediately started cursing. Just as he was about to move forward, a guy with yellow hair suddenly held him back and whispered in his ear, "Bro Star, I've seen this guy before. He's under Cha Si's protection, the one who embarrassed Brother Bing last time."

Li Xing was taken aback by this. He had heard that Brother Bing had led a group to corner this guy but ended up fleeing in defeat. This meant the guy had some real skills. Although Cha Si was now in detention and had no one to protect him, Li Xing wasn't sure he could gain any advantage by fighting him. This time, the guy had backup, and if pushed too hard, they might end up beating him, which wouldn't be worth it.

Thinking this, he felt a bit intimidated, but he had already made a big fuss. It was hard to back down now. The yellow-haired guy said, "Bro Star, Brother Bing will deal with him sooner or later. He's bound to have a bad end. We don't need to fight him head-on."

"Right!" Li Xing, being quick-witted, found a way out and immediately put on a magnanimous act, speaking in a rough voice, "Kid, today I'll give Cha Si some face and won't hold it against you! Be more careful in the future. Let's go!"

The eight hooligans left with a loud noise, still turning to spit at them from a distance.

Without having to pay, the school team members all breathed a sigh of relief, secretly grateful and impressed by Wang Bai's reputation, which had a special deterrent effect on the hooligans. Wang Bai, puzzled, asked, "Why did you just hand over the money? We could have handled them without losing out."

Zhao Jianbin sighed, "They are all hooligans from technical schools. They don't care about the consequences, so they cause trouble everywhere. We are different. We attend Guanglin Middle School, which has strict rules. If we really fight them and the school finds out, we'll get a disciplinary record, which would be terrible."

Hao Bin chimed in, "Yeah, if we get a disciplinary record, we can't stay on the school team. We'll be kicked out. I can't afford to cause trouble." He was tall and strong, and could have handled two of them at once, but he didn't want to risk losing his place on the team.

"But they provoked us first. Even if the school finds out, they can't be unreasonable, right?" Wang Bai said.

"You don't know, it's happened before," Xue Zhichao said. "A classmate of mine used to be on the school team. He was better at soccer than me, but he got into a conflict with hooligans over extortion and ended up with a disciplinary record. The school doesn't care about the details; they only follow the rules. It's a shame for my classmate."

Everyone shook their heads in sighs. Wang Bai, realizing there was a story behind it, thought that the school's approach of not distinguishing right from wrong was consistent. He sighed but didn't say anything more.

His teammates being extorted by a group of hooligans and not daring to fight back made him furious. He was determined to find a way to solve this problem one day.

"Bro Bai," Xue Zhichao, after the incident, felt even more respect for Wang Bai, "Thanks to you today. If I ever run into trouble again, can I use your name?"

Wang Bai nodded, "If you think it will help, go ahead. If it doesn't, let me know, and I'll help you get justice."

Xue Zhichao was delighted, "Thanks, Bro Bai!" The others were also moved but didn't immediately recognize him as a big brother. After all, Wang Bai had said that using his name might not be effective, and these students had little experience with such matters, not even knowing that Cha Si was in detention.

After returning home, Wang Bai made a fried rice and had a simple meal with Lu Lu using the leftovers from the previous day. Lu Lu then went back to her room to study, while he called Yu Jia and Qi Jueying to confirm the time and place for distributing flyers.

At 1 PM, Wang Bai and Yu Jia were distributing flyers on the pedestrian street near the Cultural Square. They encountered a little girl who had lost her family and was crying. Many people were watching, but no one stepped forward to help.

Later, Qi Jueying took the initiative, asked for the girl's name, and took her to the nearby police booth. It turned out the girl's family was already there reporting her missing, and they were reunited. This made Wang Bai see the kind and warm-hearted side of Qi Jueying.

After this, the three of them continued distributing the flyers. Suddenly, a group of girls dressed provocatively and heavily made up walked by. They didn't even take the flyers Wang Bai offered, just laughing and walking past. Suddenly, one of the girls stopped, looked closely at Qi Jueying on another street, and called out, "Hey, isn't that Da Yuer?"

"Where, where?" The other girls immediately chimed in, and upon closer inspection, they recognized her. They chattered excitedly and went up to greet her. Qi Jueying, initially taken aback, soon smiled and chatted with them for a while.

The group of girls seemed very happy to see Qi Jueying and said, "It's been so long, you've become even more beautiful! By the way, since we've met, why don't you come sing with us?"

Qi Jueying thought for a moment and said, "Sure, you go ahead. I'll finish distributing these flyers and then find you."

A girl with a nose ring said happily, "Your phone number hasn't changed, right? I'll send you the location later."

"Right, it hasn't changed," Qi Jueying nodded, and they parted ways.

Wang Bai, watching from the other side of the street, was puzzled and asked Yu Jia, "Hey, how does Qi Jueying know those girls? They don't seem to be the same type."

Mentioning this, Yu Jia felt a bit awkward and said hesitantly, "They are all alumnae from Beixing Middle School, probably from the same year as Qi Jueying. I remember, before I graduated, Qi Jueying was one of them, with yellow hair, a problem student. I don't know how she suddenly changed, becoming well-behaved and studious, liking dance, and even getting into Guanglin Middle School."

Hearing this gossip, Wang Bai's eyes widened. The model student, the top student in the first year, and the popular volunteer, had such a history? Truly, one cannot judge a book by its cover!

"Did she used to hang out with the wrong crowd and cause trouble?" Wang Bai couldn't help but ask curiously.

Yu Jia understood what he meant and shook her head, "No, in Beixing Middle School, the girls and the hooligans were not the same group. They sometimes even had conflicts. This is a tradition. Have you heard of the 'Thirteen Girls of Beixing'?"

"Oh, I've heard of them. That was a few years ago, right?" Wang Bai vaguely remembered hearing about the 'Thirteen Girls of Beixing' when he was a child, a group of thirteen girls from Beixing Middle School who formed their own gang and were quite successful, even rivaling the 'Four Dragons of Baihe.'

"Even though it's been a few years and those seniors are no longer active, their legend lives on. The female students at Beixing admire them and are happy to emulate them. I guess Qi Jueying went bad for that reason."

Wang Bai nodded lightly and didn't ask further, focusing on distributing the flyers.

After distributing nearly a thousand flyers, they completed the volunteer activity. As Wang Bai handed the last flyer to a passerby, a system notification sounded in his mind: "Task 2 completed, rewarded with 100 points."

He was delighted, now having 140 points, enough to exchange for some good items, and he could smoothly take on the third task. If he ranked in the top 100 in the mid-term exam, he would get another 200 points!

After finishing the flyers, Qi Jueying said goodbye to them. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly turned to Wang Bai and asked, "Senior, do you have your phone with you?"

"Yep, I have it," Wang Bai replied, puzzled. She didn't say anything more, just smiled and nodded, then left.

On the way, Qi Jueying looked at the text message on her phone, found the address of a somewhat shady KTV, and stood in front of the room door. She didn't rush in but set the message to forward, adding "Come quickly" and setting the recipient as Wang Bai.

However, she didn't press the send button but kept her finger close. Then she pushed the door open and saw a group of men and women inside. A cold light flashed in her eyes, but she maintained a calm smile and decisively pressed the send button.

"Hey, Da Yuer is here!" The girl with the nose ring broke free from a hooligan's embrace and said, "Come in, come in, I'll introduce you to some big brothers!"

The hooligan, seeing the girl at the door, stared with wide eyes, stopping his drinking and said, "Please come in, please come in!" He thought the girl was indeed as beautiful as the little hooligan had said, and today would be a lucky day.

Thinking this, he kicked the skinny guy next to him, "Go welcome her!"

The skinny guy, understanding that the big brother was about to have some fun, thought he might get a chance to join in. He went forward to welcome her, "Beautiful lady, please come in, please come in."

As he approached Qi Jueying, he quickly snatched her phone, "Hey, nice phone! Let me see it!"
