Chapter 27

Zhang Ruochen had a phrase that sounded quite poetic:

"I am like the morning dew descending upon the world."

This phrase sounded mysterious, and few people could understand its true meaning. However, after saying it once, Zhang Ruochen never mentioned it again. Many people remembered the phrase and later gave him a nickname: "Morning Dew Scholar."

Seeing Zhang Ruochen arrive, Wang Siyu struggled to get up, her little face on the verge of tears, which made anyone who saw her feel incredibly heartbroken.

"Siyu? What happened?" Seeing Wang Siyu's state, Zhang Ruochen was even more surprised: "Are you hurt?"

Wang Siyu's cheeks turned red with embarrassment. She didn't know how to explain the situation, stammering and mumbling incoherently, leaving Zhang Ruochen even more confused.

Mang Luo, standing beside her, sighed and briefly explained the situation. Of course, she skipped over the part about how they had initially set up Chen Jie.

After listening, Zhang Ruochen nodded but didn't speak immediately. Instead, he walked back and forth a couple of times, as if deep in thought.

The two girls looked at Zhang Ruochen, not understanding what was going on. In the past, if something happened to them, Ruochen would always step in to help right away.

After about two minutes, Zhang Ruochen sat down in front of Wang Siyu and Mang Luo and slowly said,

"Siya, Mang Luo. You were in the wrong first."

The first sentence shocked the two girls.

"You went out without telling your family and went to such a dangerous place. Do you know how worried your family was?"

"Even if you went out to play, you didn't stay in touch with your family. If something happened to you, no one would be able to find you. Do you know how many people would want to kidnap you, especially you, Siyu?"

The two girls lowered their heads.

For some reason, if it had been anyone else, even if it were Wang Siyu's father, Wang Nan, she would have definitely argued back. But because it was Zhang Ruochen speaking, Wang Siyu couldn't bring herself to say a word in defense. She listened to his reprimand without a single complaint, not even knowing why she felt this way: it was as if Zhang Ruochen's criticism sounded so good to her.

"However, you are still young, so I can't blame you for this..." Zhang Ruochen finished his lecture and then stood up, saying,

"But... how dare someone hit you!" At this point, Zhang Ruochen's tone suddenly became sharp!

"Siyu, don't worry. As long as this guy is still on Earth, I will help you get revenge! No matter who he is!"

Wang Siyu felt as if her heart was filled with honey, so sweet.

"Of course, don't misunderstand. I am not some low-down gangster."

Zhang Ruochen added, "My way of expressing myself might have been a bit over the top. I will defeat him fairly and face-to-face, and make him apologize to you formally! That's my style."

"Thank you! Ruochen!" Wang Siyu and Mang Luo's eyes were filled with stars.

"No problem. Whoever dares to bully you is my opponent. Do you have any information on this person?" Zhang Ruochen smiled and asked.

"I have a photo!"

Wang Siyu immediately took out her phone, opened WeChat, and showed Zhang Ruochen the photo of Chen Jie.

Zhang Ruochen looked at it, and his pupils rapidly contracted!

Isn't this the guy who looked so unsophisticated in the elevator just now?
