Chapter 19

The other party consisted of four people, all wearing the school uniform of No. 2 High School, but they all looked like troublemakers, not like proper students. Two of them were tall and muscular, standing half a head taller than Jiang Ping and looking much more robust. The other two, though not as burly as their companions, were about the same height as Jiang Ping. When these four people stood in front of Jiang Ping, the disparity in strength was immediately apparent.

The student leading the group had a sly look on his face and glanced at Jiang Ping with a squint, asking, "Kid, you're Jiang Ping from Class 1, right?"

Although it was clear that he was at a disadvantage, Jiang Ping remained calm. He first calmly looked at the four people, then nodded lightly and said, "Yes!"

The leader of the Class 5 students was named Jiang Jun, who had already bullied many other students with his gang of friends. However, someone as calm as Jiang Ping after being confronted was extremely rare, so Jiang Jun felt a bit surprised.

But Jiang Jun and his gang were used to being arrogant at No. 2 High School. Although they felt a bit surprised, it did not affect their "plan." Jiang Jun just sized up Jiang Ping and then sneered, "Kid, you look pretty calm! I have something to talk to you about. Let's go up to the rooftop and chat!"

Jiang Ping, of course, knew what "going up to the rooftop to chat" meant. However, he did not back down; he just nodded calmly and said, "Okay, I'll bring my backpack!"

"Suit yourself!" Jiang Jun nodded indifferently, then hooked Jiang Ping's neck and led him down the corridor. There was a staircase leading directly to the roof of the teaching building, which students referred to as the "rooftop."

Seeing Jiang Ping follow Jiang Jun, another student from Class 5 menacingly threatened the surrounding people, "No one is to tell the teacher, or else... hmm!"

The students from Class 5 were already notorious, especially Jiang Jun and his gang, who were well-known bullies in the school. When they first intercepted Jiang Ping, the other students had already avoided them and walked around. Now, with Jiang Jun's companion threatening them so fiercely, it indeed dissuaded a few students from reporting to the teacher.

Jiang Jun and his gang were not to be trifled with. If they found out who reported to the teacher, that person would definitely face severe consequences. They were reckless and didn't care, but the others still had the college entrance exam to worry about. If they were targeted by Jiang Jun and his gang at this critical moment, it could affect their future prospects!

By the time they were in their senior year, most students had a basic sense of self-interest. Without the warning, someone would definitely have reported to the teacher, but now no one dared to do so.

In fact, among the students present, only Jiang Ping's close friend Zhang Jun intended to report to the teacher. However, just as he was about to go to the teacher's office, he saw Jiang Ping shaking his head subtly, clearly indicating that he should not report to the teacher. So, he had to give up on the idea.

Jiang Ping did this for Zhang Jun's sake. Zhang Jun had good grades and a good chance of getting into a top university. With only less than a month left until the college entrance exam, Jiang Ping did not want his own affairs to affect his friend's exam results.

Jiang Jun hooked Jiang Ping's neck all the way to the staircase, then smirked and gestured for him to go up first. Since there was only one staircase leading to the rooftop, once Jiang Ping went up, he would be like a bird in a cage, and Jiang Jun and his gang wouldn't have to worry about him running away.

Jiang Ping didn't hesitate and went up the stairs without a second thought. Jiang Jun turned to his companions with a smug smile and followed first. Seeing Jiang Jun go up, the others hurriedly followed, afraid of being left behind.

Jiang Jun and his gang had long been bullying other students at school, and they found it entertaining. Now that they had another chance to have some fun, no one wanted to fall behind and miss the opportunity to act.

As the leader, Jiang Jun naturally walked at the front. However, when he reached the rooftop, he was surprised to find that Jiang Ping was nowhere in sight.

Jiang Jun quickly looked around, trying to find Jiang Ping. But just as he turned his head, a dark object came flying at him.

This dark object was none other than the backpack that Jiang Ping had insisted on bringing. After reaching the rooftop first, Jiang Ping had hidden behind the staircase. Taking advantage of Jiang Jun's surprise, he swung the backpack and hit him hard in the face.

Jiang Jun felt as if he had crashed into a wall while riding a bicycle. With a dull thud, he felt a jolt in his head, saw stars, and his ears started ringing. He involuntarily let out a scream, "Ah..."

But at that moment, Jiang Ping had already kicked Jiang Jun hard in the stomach, cutting off his scream. Despite his tall and muscular build, Jiang Jun lost his fighting ability after being hit twice, covering his face and stomach, and fell to the ground, unable to stand up.

Jiang Ping's actions were very quick. From the time Jiang Jun reached the rooftop to the time he was knocked down, it took only a few seconds. The student who followed him up the stairs hadn't even reacted when he reached the rooftop.

The first thing that greeted this student was Jiang Ping's surprisingly lethal backpack. Jiang Ping swung the backpack at his head, and the student staggered. Jiang Ping's hit was heavy and landed right on the student's nose. The student felt a warm sensation in his nostrils and instinctively touched it, only to see his palm covered in red, realizing that Jiang Ping had made him bleed.

This student was much more timid than Jiang Jun. Upon seeing the blood, his legs turned to jelly. He involuntarily sat on the ground, wanting to cry but feeling embarrassed, making his expression very awkward.

Although Jiang Ping had taken them by surprise and knocked down Jiang Jun and his companion, the noise had caught the attention of the other two. They thought their companions had already taken action and hurriedly ran up to the rooftop. However, when they reached the top, they were surprised to find the situation completely different from what they had expected, leaving them momentarily at a loss.

Jiang Ping didn't show any mercy and immediately took action against one of them. When this person saw Jiang Ping swing the backpack at him, he carelessly raised his hand to block it. He thought he could easily stop the backpack, but to his surprise, Jiang Ping had hidden something heavy and hard in the backpack. The hit caused his arm to ache severely, and he couldn't lift it anymore.

This student didn't have time to guess what Jiang Ping had put in the backpack. He screamed and turned to run. Jiang Ping didn't show any mercy and kicked him, making him fall to the ground.

In just a moment, the once arrogant Jiang Jun and his gang were reduced to only one person still standing. This person had originally intended to teach Jiang Ping a lesson but was now terrified. He didn't think about teaching Jiang Ping a lesson anymore and turned to run downstairs.

Jiang Ping didn't plan to let him go and swung the backpack at him. The backpack hit the person's back hard, and he screamed as he fell to the ground, unable to run anymore.

From the time Jiang Ping stepped onto the rooftop to this moment, it had been less than half a minute. However, all four of them, including Jiang Jun, had been knocked down.
