Chapter 222: Public Punching Bag
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The door opened with a bang.
The locks used in this kind of old dormitory building were the most basic mechanical locks, which could be easily opened.
The girls standing inside looked at Guo Miao and exchanged glances.
In front of them was a trembling girl wrapped in a blanket.
The girl poked her head out from under the blanket. There were tears on her face, and her hair was disheveled. It was as if she had encountered a disaster.
“Guo Miao.” She looked at Guo Miao at the door and pleaded for help.
Guo Miao’s eyes darted between the girls.
Seeing that Guo Miao was the only one who had come, the girl in the lead laughed. “So, you’re Guo Miao?”
“What? She’s a contestant. How can she be Enya’s teacher?” The other girl pulled Enya out of the blanket with a grin and grabbed her hair.
Enya leaned back in pain and looked at Guo Miao.
Guo Miao’s eyes were cold. “Let her go first.”
“Why? Don’t tell me you don’t know that Enya is our public punching bag.”
Public punching bag.
What a cruel and vivid metaphor. Enya shook her head in pain. She had been bullied by this group of people since junior high. There was a culture of bullying in Country K. If you did something unacceptable to the delinquents, you would be a target.
On the other hand, Enya had a target painted on her back because she had stood up for another girl.
These bullies weren’t ignorant and incompetent. On the contrary, they had a certain reputation in Snow Village, and some of them were even very good at their studies.
“This is Country B. The laws here are very strict. If you want to cause any injuries, I don’t mind complaining to the organizing committee and disqualifying you,” Guo Miao said coldly.
The girls looked at Guo Miao and laughed. The leader named Lu Min said, “There are no surveillance cameras here, and there are four of us. You’re alone.”
“That’s right. If you want to report us for hurting Enya, we can report you for hurting Enya too. There are four of us. Do you think the organizing committee will believe you or us?” A girl named Jin Zuo, who was standing on the other side, laughed.
Guo Miao shook her head.
Other than bullying others, bullies were usually best at twisting the truth and pretending to be good children in front of their parents. Even Guo Miao could not deal with four people alone.
Guo Miao did not reply. She walked to Jin Zuo, who was holding Enya’s hair.
She reached out and grabbed Jin Zuo’s wrist. Jin Zuo cried out in pain. Guo Miao’s grip was vice-like. She bet that it would leave a bruise.
In agony, Jin Zuo let go of Enya and glared at Guo Miao. “You’re really bold. You threatened us just now, but I have evidence against you now.”
Jin Zuo sneered. “Guo Miao, you’ve hurt a contestant. Are you trying to lose your qualification?”
“I won’t lose the qualification to compete.” Guo Miao smiled. “The marks you left on Enya’s body can be compared to her fingerprints and used for an injury appraisal. However, the injuries on your body only cause pain, and an injury appraisal won’t be able to identify anything.”
Jin Zuo and Lu Min looked at each other in surprise.
They had heard of Chinese kung fu before, and one of the techniques was like what Guo Miao said. It would not leave any traces on the victim’s body at all. No matter how thorough the injury appraisal was, it would not be able to identify the attack.
“How can a high school student like you know this kind of technique?” Lu Min straightened her back. This girl must be talking nonsense.
“Also, don’t regret protecting her now. Do you know why she’s being used as a public punching bag? Isn’t it because she betrayed our friendship?” Jin Zuo sneered.
Guo Miao could feel the shivering Enya behind her.
“Don’t be afraid,” she comforted her in a low voice and patted her on the arm.
“What’s wrong? Are you trembling in fear? You traitor, don’t think that you can treat us as you please just because someone is protecting you. We’re not afraid of you, let alone this so-called teacher of yours,” Jin Zuo said with a smile.
Guo Miao looked at the people in front of her coldly and took out her phone.
A recording of their conversation played.
Jin Zuo and Lu Min looked at each other and laughed. “You’re really stupid. If you have evidence, you shouldn’t have shown it to us..”
