Just a short distance behind Jiang Ping, Zhang Jun saw him actually walking towards the Four Kings and immediately broke out in a cold sweat, unable to help but complain in his heart: "Is Jiang Ping crazy? What is this kid trying to do?!"

Jiang Ping was certainly not going to provoke the Four Kings; he just wanted to get as close as possible to hear what Jiang Jun was saying to them. His extensive experience from his previous life and his doctorate in psychology gave him a deep understanding of human psychology. For example, he was now maintaining a very subtle distance from the Four Kings, close enough to hear their conversation without making them feel threatened.

Jiang Jun indeed did not recognize the disguised Jiang Ping, as his attention was entirely on the students pushing bicycles and not wearing school uniforms, and he didn't even spare a glance at Jiang Ping, who was quite close to him. The Four Kings had never seen Jiang Ping before, so they certainly couldn't recognize him either.

Jiang Ping slowly passed by the Four Kings, a few steps away from them, and managed to overhear a few words as he walked past.

"Junzi, is your friend's words reliable?" One of the Four Kings, with dyed yellow hair, asked casually, "If we strip that girl, will we really get three thousand yuan?"

Mentioning this in public made Jiang Jun very nervous, but he dared not not answer, so he whispered slyly, "Brother Wu, just rest assured. My friend's dad is an official, and his family has plenty of money..."

Although Jiang Ping had deliberately slowed his pace, he could only hear this much. If he walked any slower, it would draw their attention. However, even with just these two sentences, Jiang Ping learned a lot.

Jiang Ping continued to walk as if nothing had happened, but his mind was racing: "So they're not just after me, but there's also a girl? They actually want to strip her in public, how deep is this grudge..."

At this thought, Jiang Ping suddenly shuddered, a foreboding thought arising in his mind: "Could these guys be after Li Qian?"

As if to confirm Jiang Ping's suspicion, just as this thought flashed through his mind, a clear voice rang out from a short distance behind him: "What do you want?"

Jiang Ping heard it clearly; it was Li Qian's voice. At this moment, he no longer cared about revealing himself and quickly turned to look in the direction of the voice.

He saw that the Four Kings had already surrounded Li Qian and her deskmate, Yu Menghua, with malicious smiles on their faces. The two girls were clearly very frightened, their faces pale, and Yu Menghua was hiding behind her classmate. Li Qian, who had always been a class leader, was relatively calm, protecting her deskmate while angrily staring at the Four Kings.

Although it was after school and many students were passing by the school gate, no one dared to provoke the Four Kings, who were notorious. Many students cast sympathetic glances at Li Qian and Yu Menghua but carefully avoided the Four Kings, keeping a safe distance to avoid trouble.

The yellow-haired guy who had been talking to Jiang Jun, known as "Brother Wu," seemed to be the leader of the Four Kings. He sized up Li Qian and then leered, "This girl is quite a looker, we're in for a treat this time!"

"Ha ha!" Brother Wu's accomplices also laughed triumphantly, leering at Li Qian with malicious intent.

For people like the Four Kings, bullying the weak was the most enjoyable thing. Especially in public, making a beautiful girl like Li Qian lose face would definitely be a topic of conversation for a long time to come.

The thought of soon seeing the girl's delicate body made Brother Wu feel a surge of excitement. He had no patience to keep talking to Li Qian and gave his accomplices a fierce look, signaling them to act quickly.

The Four Kings often hung out together and had a good understanding of each other. The other three immediately understood Brother Wu's meaning and leered as they moved closer to Li Qian.

Jiang Ping, who was not far away, saw everything clearly and knew what Li Qian would face next. For an 18-year-old girl, such an incident would be terrifying, not only affecting her college entrance exam results but also having a significant negative impact on her life.

"This can't be ignored!" Jiang Ping no longer cared about hiding his presence. With a sigh, he charged towards the Four Kings without hesitation.

This time, Jiang Ping's backpack didn't contain bricks, which would only be a burden. He had already thrown it away. As he ran faster, he leaped towards one of the thugs, using the force techniques from the Xuan Kong Jue to concentrate all his strength in his right arm. Without a word, he punched the guy's waist with all his might.

The guy Jiang Ping targeted was the most lecherous of the Four Kings, known for harassing pretty girls on the street. Today, he was the most enthusiastic, eager to get his hands on Li Qian before anyone else.

Just as his hand was about to touch Li Qian, Jiang Ping's punch landed. He felt a heavy blow to his waist, followed by intense pain, and he collapsed involuntarily.

Jiang Ping had used all his strength in this punch. Although it wasn't fatal like in his previous life, it was enough to make the unprepared thug suffer. Jiang Ping didn't let up, grabbing the guy's hair and slamming his twisted face into his knee. The thug let out a惨叫, blood gushing from his nose, staining his white teeth red, looking very pitiful.

Jiang Ping didn't care about the thug's condition. Taking advantage of the surprise, he didn't hesitate and immediately punched another thug nearby.

Despite the Four Kings' reputation, they were just street thugs. Even though one of them had already been taken down by Jiang Ping, the others were caught off guard and had no reaction. The thug watched helplessly as Jiang Ping's punch landed on his face, making him see stars and stagger, barely managing to stay on his feet.

Jiang Ping took this opportunity to deliver several more punches to the thug's head. At this point, Jiang Ping was slightly stronger than an average person, and he used the unique force techniques from the Xuan Kong Jue, making his punches as powerful as those of an amateur boxer.

The thug's head took several punches and finally couldn't hold on, stumbling back a few steps and falling to the ground, unable to get up.

This was the strategy Jiang Ping had planned before taking action: no matter how strong the opponent, he would focus on one person and take down as many as possible. Even if he was eventually taken down himself, he would at least have some company. Now, he had successfully taken down two of the Four Kings, and he was quite satisfied with this result.

However, the other two members of the Four Kings had now recovered. Brother Wu glared at Jiang Ping and shouted, "You little brat, daring to meddle in my affairs, beat him up!"
