Chapter 73 It's just fortunate (Please vote!)

This moment was fleeting, but too casual.

For some reason, looking at the other person's outstretched hand, Gu Huai, who had almost never fought with anyone and had very limited experience, seemed to have certain images appear out of thin air in his mind.

The moment he realized it, his hand touched Gu Huai's shoulder.

Gu Huai grabbed his wrist with a backhand and pressed down simultaneously. The movement was swift and the force was just right.

"Ouch! It hurts! It hurts!"

Brother Wang didn't expect the boy to fight back, and he didn't expect the other party to move so quickly that he didn't even have time to react!
Gu Huai, of course, had no idea how he reacted so quickly, and he certainly hadn't expected this seemingly professional and precise movement. Had the free-fighting skill book come into play?
There was no time to think further; Gu Huai saw the fierce looks in those people's eyes as soon as they realized they had seen him.

"You dare to make a move, huh!"

Realizing the situation was about to escalate, he seized the opportunity to grab Wang Ge, who was yelling in pain, and pulled him close to his body, while turning back to shout at the bewildered Cai Yan.

"Go outside and call someone! Quickly."

"and you."

"leave me alone."

These lines sound like something out of a movie, and it seems like they shouldn't come out of my own mouth.

When I was a kid, I watched movies and saw the male lead say those words to the female lead as if he was going to die for her, and then leave gracefully without looking back. I thought he was incredibly cool.

Later, when Gu Huai saw similar scenes in movies, all he could think was: Is death the only option? Is there no other way to live?

Time seems to be a cycle, and experiences constantly change people. In the end, we return to the starting point.

But I can't think about those things now. The important thing is, damn it, I'm not the Gu Huai who was always on edge, afraid to face conflicts, forced to swallow my anger, and tossing and turning in bed at night, secretly regretting and feeling humiliated anymore.

In the simulation, who is afraid of whom?

Those people rushed forward shouting, and Gu Huai, as if holding a hostage, carried Brother Wang and charged towards them.

He was like a bulldozer, smashing through the crowd and even clearing a space at the entrance.

Cai Yan glanced at the chaotic group of people. She was very worried about Gu Huai, but her difference from the other girls became apparent at this moment. She knew that the best way to help was not to rush up and pull at them haphazardly, so she bit her lip, rushed to the door, opened the door of the private room, and ran out.

She hadn't expected things to turn out this way, and she even felt a little guilty. If she hadn't thought of helping Chen Pinyan, would things have turned out differently? Gu Huai wouldn't have gone to such lengths for her sake, leading to his current predicament.

But there was no turning back now. She rushed to the front desk, her heart screaming: Nothing can happen to you, hold on a little longer!

Every minute and second seemed especially precious at this moment.

She couldn't even notice that her heart was beating more intensely than ever before.

He hurriedly shouted to the front desk clerk, "There's trouble in room 108! Call security! Call the police, quick! Hurry!"

Although the waiter was a little confused, the girl's excited expression, which was almost making her cry, quickly brought him to his senses. He immediately took out his walkie-talkie and made a few calls, and then several waiters ran over together.

"Box 108!! Hurry up!!"

Cai Yan's voice was almost hoarse, but she was still trying her best to remind them.

Then, following these waiters, they rushed towards room 108.

"Stop! Stop it! We've already called the police, stop hitting them!"

As soon as the door opened, several waiters rushed inside.

Following closely behind, Cai Yan eagerly looked into the private room.

Her classmates were all huddled in a corner. They seemed to be fine and hadn't been implicated, but Cai Yan couldn't care less about their safety at that moment.

She only hoped that the boy who was in danger because of her wouldn't get hurt, otherwise she wouldn't know how to face him and his family.

Then look at the other side.

The scene was somewhat different from what I had imagined.

Contrary to the worst-case scenario, Gu Huai didn't suffer a humiliating beating in the crowd. Instead, the group of thugs and the so-called Brother Wang were sprawled out, struggling even to get up.

As for Gu Huai, he stood there, breathing heavily, sweat pouring from his forehead, but his expression was cold and somewhat frightening.

The scene almost made one forget who had come in looking for trouble; anyone who didn't know better would have thought it was this young man seeking revenge.
However, it seems that this is not the important thing. Seeing that Gu Huai had no obvious injuries, Cai Yan breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

He's alright.
Just be fine.

The police arrived faster than expected, and it's unclear if there were any other connections involved. However, upon arrival, they still took Gu Huai, Cai Yan, Chen Pinyan, and the thugs away.

Sitting in the police car with Cai Yan, Gu Huai, now completely calm, felt a strange sense of curiosity. This was his first time riding in a police car.

"What are you looking at?"

Cai Yan saw Gu Huai's actions.

Gu Huai shook his head, still managing a smile, "It's nothing, I was just a little curious because it's my first time riding in a police car."

Cai Yan sighed, "What kind of time is this to still be curious?"

"What else can we do? Isn't everything over?"

Gu Huai smiled and said that his overly optimistic expression left Cai Yan speechless, but it also eased the lingering fear in her heart.

At this moment, she could still feel the warmth of the other person's grip on her wrist, as if it were still etched on her wrist.

"What were you doing in the private room when we left?" She now recalled that strange scene.

When did Gu Huai acquire such abilities?
Gu Huai looked at the girl with a confused expression. "I didn't do anything. I just stalled for time until you found someone."

But those people weren't.

Aren't they all lying on the ground? They don't seem to need any help.

"never mind."

However, seeing his innocent expression, Cai Yan gave up asking further questions.

There's nothing to ask about these things.

Fortunately, he was there. And thankfully, nothing bad happened. That's what she thought.

The rest is quite simple.

When he was taken to give a statement alone, Gu Huai cooperated fully throughout the process.

The police officer taking a statement looked at Gu Huai and said, "We saw the surveillance footage. They did strike first, but you're a high school student, right? Your movements were quite professional."

Gu Huai couldn't explain where his displayed skills came from.

He could only smile and feign ignorance, "Really? That's how it is in the movies, I didn't think much of it."

"You kid, stop watching those violent movies. Why are you, a high school student with a bright future, getting involved with these thugs? Next time you get into trouble, call the police for help, don't..."

The police officer was about to say something to educate this seemingly arrogant teenager.

There was a knock at the door, and before he could speak, the door opened.

"Xiao Li, are you done taking the statement?"

"Ah, that's about right."

"Then let them go. It's all over. There's no need to record anything about self-defense."

Xiao Li seemed a little hesitant, "Shouldn't we notify his guardian or something?"

"No need, their parents are here, don't worry about it."

"Ok."

parents?

Gu Huai was stunned.

But they didn't even ask for their parents' phone numbers.
As he walked out of the police station, somewhat bewildered, it was already dark.

He saw Cai Yan standing outside, watching him intently. When Cai Yan saw him come out, her eyes lit up, like stars opening their eyes in the dark night.

But she didn't come over immediately; instead, a young man beside her stepped forward with a smile.

Gu Huai then understood what it meant for the other party's parents to come over, and instantly realized why this matter could be classified as legitimate self-defense so quickly, without any lingering consequences for him, rather than being a mutual fight.

He stepped forward with a polite smile, even a hint of gratitude.

"You must be Gu Huai? Thank you. I'm Cai Yan's older brother, Cai Yi."
