Chapter 73: Chapter 073 Said the Wrong Thing Chapter 73: Chapter 073 Said the Wrong Thing “Mervin.”
Lin Fu was shocked, “Let go quickly.” As she spoke, she had already swiftly struck at several crucial acupoints on Mervin’s wrist and arm.
She had spent years learning with her brother in her previous life and had also taken a master, and together with her own ill health, she could find acupoints with her eyes closed. Using this trump card, fighting and grappling became far more effective and she never made a mistake.
However, this time there was a problem; her fingers striking Mervin’s body did not elicit any reaction at all, instead, it caused her to be jolted several steps back.
She was steadied by someone on the other side just in time to prevent her from falling.
Fortunately, Mervin had already let go, leaving He Shu, like a drained fish, curling up in pain on the ground.
Xu Jinglan quickly stepped forward, supporting He Shu and not forgetting to shoot a fierce glare at Mervin.
“Are you alright? How do you feel?”
Lin Fu truly didn’t know what to say and she huffed, glaring at Mervin, “Why did you suddenly attack He Shu?”
“This is a small punishment for her nonsensical talk,” Mervin said calmly, clearly not taking his actions to heart.
“He Shu is my good friend, and you can’t just hit her; it’s not right,” Lin Fu didn’t know what else to say, “Apologize to her quickly.”
Everyone at the scene had their eyes widened in horror, some were even fearful enough to attempt running.
Expecting Mervin Melfield to apologize to someone? Are they mad?
A scion of the Messfield family distinguished only between the living and the dead; demanding an apology from him was tantamount to courting death.
Even Xu Jinglan, who had fearlessly glared at Mervin earlier, did not dare to demand an apology.
It was a lie to say she wasn’t intimidated.
Recognizing Mervin as well, He Shu’s face turned pale as she hurriedly waved her hands, attempting to stop him.
Just as everyone was on edge, Mervin spoke without expression, “Classmate, I’m sorry. I will be more careful with my strength and measure in the future.”
He Shu trembled all over, almost crying out in fear.
Why did it sound more like a threat?
“Lin Fu, we brought your school uniform; go find a place to change quickly, and go for the test! Any later and you’ll miss it,” Xu Jinglan was reliable, remembering why she had come to meet Lin Fu and immediately passed her the bag with the clothing.
After Lin Fu and her group left, He Shu slowly stood up, rubbing her neck which now bore a visible handprint, and stared fearfully in the direction Mervin had left.
“Why would Lin Fu be with Mervin Melfield? Isn’t she afraid?”
Xu Jinglan bitterly smiled, “I guess she doesn’t even know who Mervin Melfield is, let alone his affairs.”
But there was something Xu Jinglan had left unsaid: even if Lin Fu knew, she wouldn’t be afraid.
“That’s true. Lin Fu doesn’t frequent Star Network and comes from a remote planet; it’s normal that she doesn’t recognize him.”
Xu Jinglan suddenly became stern, “You indeed spoke out of turn earlier. Although Mervin Melfield is ruthless, you weren’t entirely blameless. Lin Fu was just sparing your feelings, avoiding saying it outright.”
“Really? I shouldn’t have asked if Lance had seen…”
Realizing her own mistake, He Shu lowered her head in shame.
“Apologizing to me is useless; just remember not to speak of this again, it’s not good for Lin Fu.” And she could see that Lin Fu was actually very angry, holding back her emotions but choosing not to voice them.
However, Mervin Melfield’s insight being so profound and keen had also left Xu Jinglan extremely surprised.
