"Ah..." Although Xiao Wu was a bit tougher than his accomplices, he was still just a small-time thug. He couldn't help but let out a scream and finally gave up his resistance.

Jiang Ping slowly moved his foot away, revealing Xiao Wu's hand gripping the knife. Xiao Wu's three fingers were twisted in a strange way, and even the surrounding high school students could see that this guy's right hand would never be able to hold a knife again. No one expected Jiang Ping to be so ruthless, and they looked at him with even more fear.

Xiao Wu subconsciously glanced at his right hand and immediately began to scream in despair, "Son of a bitch, I'm going to kill you..."

Before Xiao Wu could finish his sentence, Jiang Ping kicked him hard in the face. Xiao Wu's nose immediately started bleeding, and a few of his teeth fell out. The second half of his sentence was kicked back into his stomach by Jiang Ping.

Although Jiang Ping appeared calm on the surface after being injured, he was actually burning with intense anger inside. Xiao Wu and his gang had even targeted Li Qian, and Jiang Ping himself had been injured, which had crossed his底线 (底线 means "bottom line" or "limits"). If the incident hadn't happened right at the school gate with others watching, Jiang Ping would have used even more severe methods to deal with them, making them remember it for the rest of their lives and never dare to provoke him again.

However, even so, Jiang Ping did not plan to let Xiao Wu off easily. Seeing that this guy was still glaring at him defiantly, he immediately intended to kick him again.

But at that moment, Jiang Ping noticed a brown light flashing on Xiao Wu's forehead. This surprised him, and he didn't kick him, sparing Xiao Wu some physical pain. Jiang Ping didn't know what the brown light represented, but he could figure it out by looking at Xiao Wu's fate.

Although the other students looked at Jiang Ping with both respect and fear, Li Qian's eyes were filled only with gratitude and tenderness. She had been worried that rushing forward would drag Jiang Ping down, so she had stood anxiously on the side. Finally, when Jiang Ping had dealt with the four thugs, the girl, ignoring her shyness, quickly ran up to him and anxiously asked, "Are you... are you okay? Let's go to the hospital and get you checked out!"

Her voice was already tinged with sobs, and Jiang Ping quickly comforted her gently, "Don't worry, it's just a superficial wound. There's no need to go to the hospital. It will be fine after a few days with some bandages."

Although Jiang Ping said this, Li Qian was still worried and shook her head, "No, what if it gets infected? We should still go to the hospital!"

In fact, Jiang Ping's arm had only been cut by a short knife wound. Compared to the injuries he had suffered in his previous life, it was nothing. As long as the wound was treated and properly bandaged, it would be fine in a few days.

Moreover, the main reason Jiang Ping didn't want to go to the hospital was that he didn't want his parents to know about this and worry about him. So, he could only disappoint Li Qian's good intentions.

Since Zhang Jun's school uniform had also been torn, Jiang Ping decided to make use of it and skillfully bandaged his wound with a strip of the sleeve. Seeing Jiang Ping do this, Li Qian knew he was determined not to go to the hospital. She didn't try to persuade him further but obediently helped him, not hiding the intimate relationship between them.

Before school let out, Li Qian was still somewhat reluctant to let others know about her relationship with Jiang Ping. But after what had just happened, she no longer cared.

Jiang Ping's willingness to risk his own safety and stand up to the notorious four thugs at school had deeply moved Li Qian. If before she had only had a vague fondness for him, now she was completely and utterly in love with him, and she wasn't afraid even if the whole school knew.

Jiang Jun had been secretly watching the situation from a distance. Seeing the four thugs completely defeated by Jiang Ping, he was also quite frightened. Jiang Jun had thought that even if Jiang Ping was strong, he would still be beaten by Wu Ge and his gang. He never expected Jiang Ping to be so powerful, capable of defeating the four thugs everyone feared.

The fact that Jiang Ping had beaten Xiao Wu after being injured made Jiang Jun even more terrified. Looking at Jiang Ping's bloody arm, Jiang Jun felt his legs go weak.

Seeing Jiang Ping start to bandage his wound, Jiang Jun thought it was a good opportunity to slip away. Noticing that the surrounding students weren't paying attention to him, he slowly moved backward, trying to leave this place of trouble.

Jiang Jun didn't know that Jiang Ping had noticed him as soon as he walked out of the school gate. If Jiang Jun had left when Jiang Ping was dealing with the four thugs, Jiang Ping wouldn't have been able to do anything. But since he had lingered until now, Jiang Ping was determined not to let him get away.

After taking a few steps, Jiang Jun felt his collar being grabbed. He turned around impatiently and was immediately terrified. The person holding him was none other than Jiang Ping, the one he feared the most at the moment!

Jiang Ping looked at Jiang Jun with a half-smile and said, "You're not very loyal, are you? How can you run away and leave your friends behind?"

"I didn't leave my friends..." Jiang Jun instinctively tried to defend himself, but as soon as the words came out, he realized he had made a mistake and quickly shook his head, "I don't know them, and I have nothing to do with this!"

"So you have nothing to do with this?" Jiang Ping gave Jiang Jun a faint smile and then suddenly raised his knee, hitting him hard in the stomach.

"Cough, cough..." Jiang Jun involuntarily bent over, coughing in pain.

Jiang Ping had no intention of letting him off and leaned in close to whisper in his ear, "You'd better tell me the truth. Don't force me to take action. I have dozens of ways to make you wish you were dead, and by then it will be too late for you to regret it! Speak, who told you to do this!?"

Although Jiang Ping's tone was calm, Jiang Jun felt his entire body shiver. Strangely, he had no doubt about Jiang Ping's words and was certain that if he didn't speak, he would face a very tragic fate.

Jiang Jun wasn't even a real thug, and the so-called loyalty he had was long gone. He quickly confessed loudly, "It was Zhou Xiang. Zhou Xiang offered me three thousand yuan to find people to help him take revenge! He said to beat you up badly and strip you in public... so you would lose face at school and even be affected in the college entrance exam!"

"Sure enough, it's that guy!" Jiang Ping nodded with a cold smile and slapped Jiang Jun across the face, "You can go now!"

As soon as Jiang Ping finished speaking, a police car with its siren blaring sped up and stopped at the school gate. Two police officers hurriedly got out of the car. They had received a report about Xiao Wu and his gang causing trouble at the school gate and rushed over. After all, with the college entrance exam approaching, if any senior student was beaten so badly that they couldn't take the exam, it would be considered a serious public security case.

However, the scene before them surprised the two police officers. They hadn't expected that Xiao Wu and his gang, who no one dared to provoke in this area, would all be beaten up. But they didn't show their surprise and coldly said to the fallen Xiao Wu and his gang, "Well, it looks like you guys are quite bold, daring to use knives at the school gate! It seems you won't stop until you've spent a few years in jail!"

Jiang Ping's mind flashed with an idea, and he realized that the brown light undoubtedly indicated imprisonment!
