The pretty little follower gets targeted by the crazy guys at the elite academy

The barrage of comments above her head exploded in front of Li Ruo like a hornet's nest that had been poked, the sheer volume of information almost blinding her:

[Warning! Warning! The crazy group has collectively rioted again!]

[Xia Qinghe's anonymous email was indeed the trigger! Zhou Si is now frantically searching for the art building with Guo Yiling over the two breakfasts!]

Guo Yiling's surveillance system has been hacked! He suspects Jiang Wuqian was behind it, and he's heading menacingly towards the art building in order to abduct Li Rushu for an illicit deal!

[Lu Ran is also squatting in the grove! He seems to have received the email too; his eyes look like he wants to devour someone!]

[The most outrageous one is Lu Xingzhou! His hacker teammate just permanently destroyed the surveillance footage he was trying to use to find you, Pei Qing! He's furious, and after seeing that anonymous email, he's exploded with rage! He's stormed into the art building too!]

[Pei Qingrang!!! Important Warning! Pei Qingrang!!! He hacked into Guo Yiling's system and is looking for you! Just to collect new items! He was enraged after seeing that email! He might be nearby now!]

[Summary: Zhou Si, Guo Yiling, Lu Ran, Lu Xingzhou, and Pei Qingrang—five madmen, with the same goal, are rushing to Jiang Wu's studio in the art building! Estimated arrival time: within five minutes!]

[Li Ruo, run! If they see you and Jiang Wu in this position... you'll be dead even if you jump into the Yellow River!]

[Why are you running?! Let's activate the ultimate battleground mode! Let them attack and damage each other!]

[Jiang Wu seems even more excited? Does his extraordinary sensory abilities mean he's already foreseen this?!]

Seeing the comments scrolling by, Li Ruo thought, "..."

run?

Is that the story of a runaway sweetheart who runs away and bumps into some crazy guy's arms, gets sexually assaulted, gives birth to 1808 babies, marries into a wealthy family because of her children, is then stabbed all over by her wicked mother-in-law with an ancestral hairpin, and finally dies tragically in a mental hospital?

She's young, don't lie to her.

She won't run away.

She has to stay here without breaking a sweat to tame this bunch of lunatics, and then become a beautiful queen.

And at this moment—

Several eccentric individuals, each with their own agenda, unexpectedly converged in the same place through information flow and action lines.

The college's art building.

Jiang Wu's territory.

The five lunatics looked on with a mixture of confusion and shock when they saw the other four suddenly appear.

"Why are you all here too?"

Several voices asked in unison.

Five lunatics: "...???"

After exchanging a disapproving look with each other:

"I knew you guys were up to no good!"

Several voices spoke in unison.

Five lunatics: "...!!!"

After a brief, tense exchange of glances, the group surprisingly and yet with a mutual dislike began to search the art building separately.

Currently, finding Li Ruo is the top priority.

Soon, using their own methods, they successively located the private studio deep inside the art building, which was never open to outsiders and was said to contain the most of Jiang Wu's works.

The studio door was tightly closed and looked heavy and sturdy.

The door lock is also specially made and quite sturdy.

A few lunatics gathered outside the door, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment.

Their eyes met, filled with hostility and a strong possessiveness towards Li Ruo.

"This is a specially made security door for the school. Anyone who dares to break it open is openly defying the school leadership and will face severe punishment."

Guo Yiling, a control freak who believes school discipline is above all else, would never easily break school rules.

But the fact that he doesn't actively sabotage doesn't mean he won't incite these few lunatics to do it for him.

So, he adjusted his glasses, adopting a serious, Holmesian expression, and added his analysis:

"However... the most secure place is also the place where that madman Jiang Wu is most likely to hide Li Ruo."

Whoever can resist breaking down the door wins.

Zhou Si clenched his fist, relying on his domineering school bully instincts, and declared:

"I don't care! This is the most suspicious place anyway!"

"If I don't drag that little brat out and get to the bottom of this tonight, I might really lose my temper and want to kill someone."

In his excitement, he channeled all his strength into clenching his fists, his ten knuckles cracking, and the veins and muscles in his arms bulging instantly.

It feels like that punch could kill a cow.

"I might as well just smash it open!!"

Zhou Si clenched his fists, eager to try.

"It's too sturdy; the few of us might not be able to break through it."

Lu Ran stroked his chin, his eyes narrowing dangerously as he looked the door up and down.

"brutal."

Pei Qingrang pushed up his glasses, his voice cool and clear: "But... perhaps it's feasible."

Anyway, it was Zhou Si, that mad bull with boundless strength, who rammed the door. He didn't suffer any losses, so wouldn't it be better to just sit back and reap the benefits?

The usually elegant Lu Xingzhou frowned, already impatiently starting to unbutton his shirt cuffs, looking ready to throw caution to the wind.

"If you can't do it, I will."

"Young Master Lu, you should probably save those fancy fists for when you're smoking! Don't let them get in the way!"

Zhou Si clenched his fist, which was as hard as steel, and refused to back down even an inch.

Lu Xingzhou swept his peach blossom eyes sharply across the room: "Each relies on their own abilities."

"I can give in to you for everything, but not for her... I can't."

Zhou Si spoke each word with a fierce gaze that was even more piercing and terrifying than Lu Xingzhou's.

The two were locked in a fierce battle.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Just as the two were preparing to settle their differences—

"It's noisy!"

"They're all just flashy moves with no real skill involved."

Pei Qingrang pulled a small chainsaw out of his black backpack, pressed the power button, and the chainsaw began to hum.

He looked eager to try:

"Make way, don't delay me from doing my work."

The group then made way for them.

Pei Qingrang adjusted his glasses and calmly analyzed the situation:

"Depending on the door frame material and lock cylinder type, we recommend using a portable chainsaw and starting from the door hinges for greater efficiency."

A few lunatics didn't quite understand.

But seeing his scholarly demeanor, I felt he made a lot of sense.

What's more, he also had a chainsaw.

A goal is on the horizon.

Lu Ran whistled:

"Wow, you're really well-equipped, genius. Shall I help you hold it steady?"

He just thought it was more exciting to open the door with a chainsaw; he had no intention of participating in breaking down the door to rescue people.

Guo Yiling frowned, feeling that this method was too harsh and violated school rules.

But looking at the closed door and thinking about what might be happening inside, he gritted his teeth and acquiesced.

Just when these usually arrogant and antagonistic lunatics were unusually united in preparing to violently vandalize a door—

"Click".

A soft sound.

That seemingly indestructible lock on the secret room door, which made several young masters seriously consider using a chainsaw...

It bounced off by itself?!

The door slowly slid open a crack.

Several lunatics: "...???"

Zhou Si's raised fist froze in mid-air.

Lu Ran paused, the chainsaw he was holding, eager to use, in his hand.

Pei Qingrang stopped wiping his glasses.

Guo Yiling's prepared reprimand got stuck in her throat.

Lu Xingzhou's fingers trembled slightly as he unbuttoned his cuffs.

The air fell eerily quiet.

Look!

Even the door was intimidated by the overwhelming power of this evil alliance!

It opened by itself!

Door:"……"

No, I'm just an ordinary door that's programmed to open at this moment.

After a brief moment of shock, the madmen, blinded by rage, immediately unleashed a torrent of fury.

Jiang Wu! You're finished! Prepare to die!

A few lunatics, full of bravado and eager to fight, pushed open the automatically opening door.

They were ready to rush in and drag out that crazy little bastard who dared to kidnap Li Ruo.

Let him experience firsthand what it means to be brutally beaten by society.

Then they would properly "comfort" Li Ruo, the innocent, pitiful, weak, and helpless victim in their hearts, who was waiting for their heroic rescue.

However, the moment they stepped into the studio and saw the interior:

All the angry words and fantasies of being a hero to save the damsel in distress froze on his face.

The brains collectively shut down.

The pupils collectively trembled.
