Seeing this, the other two lackeys immediately let go of Qiu Ying and rushed forward. “Brat, I advise you to mind your own business!”

“You interrupted my fun. You’re courting death!”

Jiang Lin looked at Qiu Ying’s bare shoulder and the swelling on her cheek. Anger surged.

Suppressing his anger, he took off his T-shirt and wrapped Qiu Ying in it. “Don’t look,” Jiang Lin whispered.

Qiu Ying stopped trying to lift her shirt. She couldn’t see what was happening outside, but she heard the men wailing in pain.

The man who had been kicked in the crotch by Qiu Ying was still holding his crotch at the door. At this moment, when he saw Jiang Lin go crazy and start beating people like a lunatic, he quickly moved out of the door. Unexpectedly, Yao Yu caught him as soon as he left.

Zhao Qi had been hit on the head twice in a row, and when he saw his group of lackeys lying on the ground while begging for mercy from a student, he went crazy and raised his fist to punch Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin shielded Qiu Ying. He took the other party’s fist with one hand and bent it hard. There was a sound of bones breaking.

“Ah!” Zhao Qi screamed.

There were two screams inside and outside the door, as if they were competing to see who was louder.

After Yao Yu finished beating him up, he entered the room and realized that Jiang Lin had not stopped.

He was pressing the other party’s head against the tiles of the sink. Zhao Qi’s loud curses turned into soft begging. There was a large pool of bright red blood on the pale yellow tiles.

Seeing Jiang Lin’s murderous expression, Yao Yu felt alarmed. He stepped forward and said, “Ah Lin, stop. If you continue, he’ll be dead. Let them live. Letting them live is worse than dying!”

Jiang Lin stopped what he was doing and threw him aside. Seeing that Qiu Ying was already wearing her own clothes, he walked over slowly and said gently, “Don’t be afraid. It’s okay.”

Qiu Ying’s pale face made the palm print more obvious. She looked at the boy in front of her and nodded. After a while, she said in a daze, “I want to participate in the competition.”

Jiang Lin glanced at his watch. “It’s ten past three. There’s still time.”

At this moment, Mr. Qian and Bai Zhen had also arrived with a few boys and saw the chaotic scene in the bathroom.

“Yingying!” Bai Zhen ran forward and looked at Qiu Ying, who was wearing Jiang Lin’s clothes, and then at the men on the ground. She thought that Qiu Ying had been defiled by these jerks, so she choked with tears and said, “Yingying, it’s fine!”

Qiu Ying didn’t know that Bai Zhen had misunderstood. She glanced at Bai Zhen and said in a daze, “I want to participate in the competition.”

Bai Zhen looked at Qiu Ying and tears flowed down her face.

Seeing this, Mr. Qian went forward and gently stroked Qiu Ying’s arm. He comforted her, “Qiu Ying, I’ll explain that you’re going to withdraw from the competition. The most important thing for you to do now is to go back and rest!”

Then, she said carefully, “Qiu Ying, it’s best if you get your body checked now. We don’t know what kind of diseases those animals have.”

Qiu Ying came back to her senses and when she heard this, she knew everyone had misunderstood, so she explained, “Jiang Lin came in time. I’m fine.”

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

Qiu Ying looked at Mr. Qian seriously. “Teacher, I’m fine. I can participate in the school’s sports meet!”

Seeing the determination in Qiu Ying’s eyes, Mr. Qian nodded. “Then go. Leave these things for us to handle. I’ll definitely investigate this matter and give you an explanation!”

With that, he took out his phone and called the police. The boys he brought with him watched over the four hooligans who were no longer able to struggle.

They left the laboratory building. Jiang Lin looked at his naked upper body and turned to Yao Yu. “Take off your clothes.”

Yao Yu widened his eyes at Jiang Lin. Under Jiang Lin’s menacing gaze, he reluctantly took off his clothes and comforted himself that he should just let it go. Since he had saved the damsel in distress, he was magnanimous enough not to argue with him.

Seeing this, Qiu Ying also realized that the man’s T-shirt she was wearing was too big. It would definitely attract attention when she reached the field, but time was tight and there was no time to go to the girls’ dormitory to change clothes. Hence, she tied a knot at the bottom of her wide T-shirt and walked towards the field with a firm gaze.

The more people wanted to stop her, the more she couldn’t admit defeat. As long as there was a chance, she had to grab it and climb up!

When Qiu Ying arrived at the arena, there were still five minutes before the competition. She took the number plate from Lin Zhao and said softly, “Class monitor, thank you!”

Lin Zhao adjusted the gold frame and smiled gently. “If you want to thank someone, thank Ah Lin. He was the one who reminded me to arrange for someone to report to get the number plate.”

Qiu Ying glanced at Jiang Lin and thanked him seriously. Jiang Lin smiled but said nothing.
