The aloof school beauty has been reborn and is now pursuing me relentlessly.

In her previous life, around 08, Lin Ran had seen a news article in the newspaper.

The story is about a KTV room in Donghai city that has become a criminal den.

A criminal gang in their twenties and thirties lured young girls into their trap and then controlled them with hallucinogenic drugs.

They then proceeded to humiliate and enjoy these mentally unstable female victims.

Finally, these women are even resold through special channels to continue serving the sellers in illegal activities.

This gang started committing crimes in early 07.

He wasn't arrested until 08.

The case caused quite a stir in the entire East China Sea at the time.

That's why Lin Ran was quite impressed with it.

And reborn into this world—

Only now did Lin Ran completely piece together all the fragments of memory and realize the truth.

Why did this place seem so familiar to him before?

The gang in that case used the Royal Dynasty KTV as their hideout to abduct women.

Even inside the luxurious private room of the "Peony Hall".

The first thing I saw upon entering was the unconscious figure of a woman lying haphazardly on the sofa in the dim light of the private room.

And the young man who stood up.

Even in the dim light, the other person's face was still vaguely discernible.

Lin Ran immediately recognized the other party as one of the leaders in the photos of the gang arrested in the newspaper at the time.

A slight chill ran through me.

He knew how dangerous and critical the current situation was.

But his expression remained unchanged; he continued to look guilty and apologize repeatedly.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry—"

The young man named Liu Xin stood there, staring intently at Lin Ran, without saying a word.

His gaze, however, carried a cold and sinister scrutinizing quality.

A young man from a non-mainstream background nearby, somewhat impatient, cursed:

"Damn it, if you've gone to the wrong place, why aren't you getting out of here?!"

Lin Ran nodded quickly, her face full of apologetic smile:

"Good good."

"Let's go, sorry for the disturbance—"

He then pulled Liu Xiaowan along and slowly backed out of the private room.

……

Exit the private room.

The instant the door closed.

The smile and apology on Lin Ran's face vanished instantly.

At the same time, he quickened his pace and pulled Liu Xiaowan back towards their private room.

Liu Xiaowan finally broke free from Lin Ran's hand covering her mouth and anxiously asked:

"What are you doing?"

"There were so many girls in that private room, it seemed like they were all—"

The words are not finished yet.

Lin Ran quickly interrupted him in a low voice:

"Do not talk."

"Go back first."

At this moment, Lin Ran's face showed none of his usual leisure and ease.

His expression was solemn, his eyes sharp and cold.

The aura emanating from him actually intimidated Liu Xiaowan, who subconsciously dared not speak anymore and obediently cooperated by quickening her pace.

They remained silent the entire way.

They didn't return until they were back in the Rose Hall private room.

I turned around and checked again to make sure no one was following me down the corridor.

Then he quickly closed the door behind him.

Lin Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Qingyan noticed the two people who entered the room immediately.

Moreover, he keenly noticed the solemn expression on Lin Ran's face.

So she quickly got up, walked briskly to Lin Ran's side, and asked softly:

"what happened?"

Lin Ran took a deep breath, lowered his voice, and quickly explained the situation to his girlfriend, the school beauty.

However, he concealed information such as his rebirth and seeing newspaper news in his previous life.

He simply said that he and Liu Xiaowan had accidentally stumbled into a private room in the Peony Hall, and after seeing the situation inside, they guessed that someone was engaging in illegal or criminal activities.

Ma Xiaoshuai had also curiously come over, and upon hearing this, his eyes widened in disbelief:

"real or fake……"

"In a society governed by the rule of law, how could anyone be so audacious in a place like the East China Sea?"

"Third brother, are you mistaken?"

Lin Ran shook his head, about to speak.

But Su Qingyan spoke first:

"I believe."

Lin Ran was stunned and subconsciously looked at his girlfriend, the school beauty, in front of him.

The girl's expression was calm and serious as she repeated:

"I believe you."

……

In fact, Su Qingyan was quite shaken at this moment.

Both are reborn.

She had seen that news report in her previous life.

After Lin Ran's explanation, I immediately remembered her reminder.

So, given the current situation...

It is indeed troublesome and dangerous.

Liu Xiaowan had never experienced anything like this before, and now that the alcohol had worn off, she was completely flustered and at a loss.

"Then, what should we do now?"

"Should we call the police, or just tell the front desk and let the KTV handle it?"

Lin Ran and Su Qingyan interrupted almost simultaneously in low voices:

"no!"

Both of them froze, and subconsciously exchanged a glance.

Lin Ran first explained in a low voice, "Calling the police is of course necessary, but we can't tell the KTV."

Su Qingyan quickly replied, "Since the other party can commit crimes so brazenly here, it's very likely that there are people in the KTV acting as informants. Telling them would easily alert them."

One sentence per person.

Ma Xiaoshuai and Liu Xiaowan were completely stunned.

Liu Yuanhua was somewhat bewildered:

【no……】

Are all deskmates at Yunaan Middle School this in sync?

Ma Xiaoshuai couldn't help but be shocked:

Holy crap, how come these two are so observant?

[The couple's perfect chemistry!!!]

—Actually, they all used the same rebirth cheat.

Of course, at this moment, neither Lin Ran nor Su Qingyan knew the truth about each other.

The current situation leaves them no time to consider anything else.

Lin Ran quickly continued speaking:

"They just let us go temporarily, but they may have already become suspicious."

"The other party may have controlled knives. If they come looking for them, it will be dangerous."

Su Qingyan nodded:

"If that's the case, we have a lot of people here, and most of them are girls, so it might not be very effective."

"Everyone, please disperse. That's all for tonight."

As she spoke, she looked at Liu Xiaowan:

"Make up a reason for everyone to leave. Don't tell the truth, or it will cause chaos."

The two were clear-headed and calm, and in just a few words, they had already listed out the plan and its key advantages and disadvantages.

Ma Xiaoshuai and Liu Yuanhua were initially shocked and flustered.

Listening to the two people's calm and methodical arrangements, I unconsciously felt at ease and reassured, and my mood relaxed considerably.

The work assignments were finally determined.

The students from the Arts and Literature Department in the Rose Hall handed it over to Ma Xiaoshuai.

Liu Xiaowan went to the Azalea Hall on the other side to disperse her other friends and guests.

I watched as Liu Yuanhua hurriedly pushed open the door and left.

Lin Ran composed himself, quickly took out his phone to call the police, and at the same time said to his girlfriend, a campus beauty, standing beside him:

"You go with them first."

"I'll stay and see how things go—"

The words are not finished yet.

But he was interrupted by the girl beside him:

"I'll stay too."

Lin Ran was slightly taken aback and turned to look at Su Qingyan.

The latter's expression was calm and composed, and his words were concise and to the point:

"I can beat you."

Lin Ran chuckled, but he could feel the unwavering determination of his girlfriend, the school beauty, in front of him.

Without further persuasion, he pressed a button on his phone screen to make a call.

Simultaneously.

Ma Xiaoshuai had already walked to the middle of the private room.

Holding the microphone, he loudly announced that tonight's birthday party was over, as the campus belle had something come up and it was time to leave the private room, so everyone should hurry up and leave.

The students were somewhat taken aback and still wanted more, but they gradually got up to leave.

Ma Xiaoshuai, still holding the microphone, repeatedly urged:

"hurry up!"

"If you leave late and your private room is overtime, whoever leaves last pays!"

Just then, everyone was about to leave the private room.

It just so happened at that moment.

A sudden voice rang out, carrying a mocking and vulgar tone:

"Oh, you're leaving already?"

"Don't rush—"

……

The private room fell silent for a moment.

Everyone instinctively stopped and looked in the direction of the sound.

Staring blankly at the entrance of the Rose Hall private room, a tall, thin young man with a sinister aura slowly walked in.

And behind him.

He was accompanied by six or seven young thugs who also exuded an aura of menace.

Lin Ran's pupils narrowed slightly.

My mood immediately sank.

The young man in the lead looked past the crowd and landed directly on Lin Ran, who was holding a mobile phone.

He revealed a mocking expression that was neither a smile nor a frown:

"Dude, you're pretty good at playing dumb."

"If I were you—"

"It's best to put your phone down first."

As the young man spoke, the six or seven thugs behind him seemed to casually pull out steel pipes, sticks, and even fruit knives from behind their backs.

Bright and clear.

It was somewhat chilling and unsettling to watch.

Lin Ran sighed inwardly, put down his phone, and tossed it onto the table beside him.

The man in the lead, named Liu Xin, nodded in satisfaction.

"very good."

Then he turned to look at the other people in the private room, clapped his hands, and seemed to be all smiles:

"Then everyone please cooperate."

"Hand over your phones, and you better not let me find out who's been hiding any, or the consequences will be severe..."

The students from the Arts and Literature Department inside the private room were unaware of the situation.

They were surprised to see a group of people suddenly appear and then try to confiscate their phones.

There was a sudden commotion and reluctance.

A tall boy from the Literature and Art Department couldn't help but stand up:

Who are you?

"Why should we listen to you...?"

Before he could finish speaking, before he could even react...

Without warning, Liu Xin raised her hand and slapped the boy across the face!

Bang!!!——

Almost the entire private room shook violently!

That slap was incredibly powerful and vicious!

In an instant, the tall boy was knocked to the ground, leaving a burning red mark on his face. The boy was stunned and couldn't stand up for a while.

A ferocious look suddenly appeared on Liu Xin's face:

"Cut the fucking nonsense!"

"Give you face?"

The atmosphere inside the private room seemed to suddenly plummet to its coldest, most brutal low.

Some girls were so frightened that they covered their mouths and their eyes welled up with tears.

Soft sobs could be faintly heard from the crowd.

When Liu Xin raised her head again and looked at the crowd in front of her with a cold gaze, no one dared to hesitate any longer. They hurriedly took out their phones and threw them on the ground.
