After being reborn, the school beauty's entire family knelt down to repent.

Upon hearing this, a smile gradually appeared on Zhao Rou's face.

"Really? Yu Chuang?" Zhao Rou's voice carried a hint of doubt, but at the same time, it was filled with undisguised excitement.

"Of course, Zhao Rou, don't you believe me?" Yu Chuang answered confidently, seemingly having forgotten his recent defeat.

Zhao Rou smiled gently. She knew that although Yu Chuang was reckless, he could sometimes get things done.

"Alright, I'll be waiting to see how you do," Zhao Rou said, a sly glint in her eyes.

Yu Chuang nodded. He knew in his heart that although Zhao Rou seemed to disdain him on the surface, she actually had some expectations of him.

"Don't worry, I won't let you down." After saying that, Yu Chuang turned and left Zhao Rou's side.

Yu Chuang returned to his seat, pondering how to make Chen Ming suffer.

He knew that Brother Long was a man of his word; he would always do what he promised.

Yu Chuang's lips unconsciously curled up as he imagined Chen Ming injured, a surge of pleasure welling up inside him.

However, he did not notice that Li Yu, who was sitting not far away, was watching all of this.

Li Yu frowned, realizing that Yu Chuang might be plotting something bad.

"Chen Ming, you need to be careful. Yu Chuang seems to be planning something," Li Yu whispered to Chen Ming, his eyes filled with worry.

After hearing this, Chen Ming smiled slightly, seemingly unconcerned: "Don't worry, Li Yu, I know how to handle it."

“But…” Li Yu wanted to say something more, but Chen Ming interrupted him.

"I know you're worried about me, but what threat do you think their petty tricks could pose?" Chen Ming said, completely unconcerned.

However, just as they were talking, Zhao Rou walked over.

“Chen Ming.” Zhao Rou’s voice carried a hint of provocation, and her eyes flashed with ill intent.

Chen Ming raised his head and looked calmly at Zhao Rou; he was already used to Zhao Rou's attitude.

"Is there something you need?" Chen Ming asked calmly, his tone completely indifferent.

Zhao Rou's lips curled into a cold smile. She glanced around to make sure no one else was paying attention to them, then said in a low voice, "Of course there are."

"Speak your mind, or shut up." Chen Ming smiled slightly, but his tone was anything but polite.

Zhao Rou leaned closer to Chen Ming, her voice low and threatening: "You'd better watch out, Yu Chuang isn't planning on letting you off so easily."

Chen Ming remained calm, looking at Zhao Rou with a hint of disdain in his eyes: "Oh? Is that so? Then I'll see what tricks he can pull."

Seeing Chen Ming so calm, Zhao Rou couldn't help but feel annoyed. She had expected to see Chen Ming panic, but she didn't expect him to be so composed.

"Stop acting all high and mighty, or you'll be begging for mercy later," Zhao Rou continued to threaten.

Chen Ming smiled slightly. He wasn't afraid of Zhao Rou's threat; on the contrary, he found it all rather ridiculous: "Zhao Rou, you should worry about yourself. Don't try to steal a chicken and end up losing the rice instead."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Rou's expression changed. She hadn't expected Chen Ming to say such a thing, and a surge of anger rose within her.

"Hmph, just you wait and see who has the last laugh." After saying that, Zhao Rou turned and left, secretly plotting how to make Chen Ming regret it.

Chen Ming watched Zhao Rou's departing figure, pondering to himself.

He knew that neither Zhao Rou nor Yu Chuang were people who would give up easily, and this wasn't the first time they had clashed, but he didn't intend to let these trivial matters affect him.

"Chen Ming, are you really not worried?" Li Yu asked, still somewhat uneasy.

Chen Ming turned to Li Yu with a confident smile: "Li Yu, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. If they dare to do anything excessive, I will make them pay the price."

"However, you should also be careful; they might try something in secret," Li Yu warned.

"Yes, I will." Chen Ming nodded. He knew in his heart that Yu Chuang and Zhao Rou might resort to some underhanded methods.

After lunch break, the students flocked to the playground.

Chen Ming's class had physical education as their first class in the afternoon. As usual, they would gather and then have free time.

Chen Ming, Li Yu, and a few other boys from the class grabbed a basketball and started playing a game on the basketball court.

Chen Ming's dribbling skills and shooting accuracy quickly attracted the attention and cheers of his classmates.

Although Li Yu's skills were not as good as Chen Ming's, he still tried his best to run on the field, defend and pass the ball.

Just as they were fighting fiercely, Yu Chuang stood at the edge of the playground, coldly watching Chen Ming.

A sinister smile crept across his face; he seemed to be waiting for a certain moment to arrive.

As time went by, Yu Chuang suddenly walked over.

"Chen Ming, the PE teacher wants you to get some things." Chen Ming was slightly taken aback when he heard Yu Chuang's words, but quickly regained his composure. He passed the ball to Li Yu, then turned and walked towards Yu Chuang.

"Really?" He didn't completely trust Yu Chuang.

Yu Chuang shrugged, a slightly innocent expression on his face: "Why would I lie to you? If you don't believe me, go ask the PE teacher yourself."

Chen Ming followed Yu Chuang away from the basketball court. Although he had some doubts, he decided to go and see what was going on.

Yu Chuang led Chen Ming across the playground and toward the school's backyard, where there was a sports equipment room.

"Alright, the PE teacher is in the equipment room, go on over there."

After saying that, Yu Chuang turned and left.

Chen Ming headed straight for the equipment room, but as soon as he reached the backyard, he was blocked by a group of people.

"You must be Chen Ming?" The leader of the group was a tall young man with a provocative smile, clearly indicating that he had no good intentions.

"What's the matter?" Chen Ming remained calm. He looked around and noticed that these people were not students of the school, but thugs from outside the school.

"It's nothing serious, someone just wants to see you," the tall young man said, gesturing for the people behind him to surround Chen Ming.

Chen Ming felt a tightness in his chest, but he did not show any panic. He knew that staying calm was crucial at this moment.

"See me? Who has so much free time?" Chen Ming asked casually, trying to get more information out of the other party.

"I just didn't want to see you like this," the man replied.

"What does it look like?" Chen Ming asked coldly.

However, he was met with a heavy punch in response.

Chen Ming reacted extremely quickly, instinctively dodging to the side, but was still grazed on the cheek by the force of the punch.

He quickly stepped back a few paces to keep his distance from the group.

"Of course, he looked disheveled!"

Chen Ming's lips curled up slightly. He was not frightened by the sudden attack; on the contrary, he appeared even calmer.

"Is that all Yu Chuang is capable of?" Chen Ming said dismissively.

"Kid, you're pretty arrogant." Brother Long sneered, waving his hand to signal his men to prepare to make their move.
