Gu Shiting was afraid that Sheng Tang would be unhappy.
Sheng Tang replied to him, "Alright, see you in two stations."
Gu Shiting replied, "Okay."
After school, Sheng Tang was called to the office by the head teacher again.
She messaged Gu Shiting: "A bit late, something came up."
The head teacher tried to persuade her to sell the copyrights, saying the other party had increased the price to 150,000.
"150,000?" Sheng Tang smiled slightly, "Teacher, I heard it should be 300,000."
The head teacher was stunned.
Then her face turned a bit red, both in embarrassment and anger, "Are you suspecting me?"
"No, I just heard it from someone," Sheng Tang smiled, "You said 150,000, so it’s 150,000. I’ve already sold it."
The head teacher was astonished inside, knowing Sheng Tang had figured out the truth, and it was pointless to continue on, so she let her go.
By the time Sheng Tang walked out of the school, it was almost five o’clock.
In the late autumn afternoon, it got dark earlier, and by five o’clock, the sun was setting in the west, with night gradually taking over and street lights coming on.
Sheng Tang thought about Gu Shiting still waiting, and hurriedly walked towards the bus stop.
This bus stop was designated for the school’s students.
It had been an hour since school ended, and those who should have left had already gone; there was no one around.
But there were three men, looking strong, leaning against the stop and chatting, with one of them holding a lit cigarette.
Sheng Tang had a bad feeling and turned to go to the opposite side to hail a taxi.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she moved, the man closest to her had already surrounded her, blocking her way.
"Hey there, got any money?" The man grinned at her, exuding a greasy vibe, "Lend us some, will ya?"
Sheng Tang looked at him and suddenly asked, "Did Gu Jiahui send you?"
The man was taken aback.
His response was especially genuine.
He realized his gaffe and quickly covered it up, "Who’s Gu Jiahui? Your boyfriend?"
With that, he reached out to touch Sheng Tang’s face, "Hey girl, you’re pretty cute, chubby and plump, I like girls like you."
By now, Sheng Tang understood.
She clearly refused the head teacher in the morning and turned down Gu Jiahui at noon, making it very clear, yet in the afternoon, the head teacher called her over again.
It must have been Gu Jiahui who asked the head teacher to persuade her again.
His objective was no longer about the song but to teach Sheng Tang a lesson.
His intention was clear: "What I want, no one can refuse me."
Last time, he asked Sheng Tang for a scan, and she gladly gave it to him; otherwise, he would’ve dealt with her then.
He always smiled so gently in person, yet behind the scenes, he could resort to such underhanded tricks.
Sheng Tang’s intuition wasn’t wrong—he truly was a snake.
While the man was speaking, his hand had already reached out, trying to touch Sheng Tang’s face, only to be grabbed by her.
Sheng Tang sneered, "Harassing a student? How shameless are you?"
With a slight force, the man’s hand instantly hurt, nearly making him kneel.
Sheng Tang let go.
The other two approached, trying to grab her.
It was then that Sheng Tang noticed a car parked not far away.
Although the bus stop had surveillance cameras, since Gu Jiahui dared to send people after her, he must have thought of a way to handle it.
However, Sheng Tang didn’t feel panicked.
She had been very skilled in Sanda (Chinese boxing) before, and now she trained every day. Her body was in good shape. Though the muscle memory wasn’t there, she still knew the basic moves.
She dodged, spun around, and kicked, landing a solid back kick on the shoulder of the man who tried to grab her.
