They looked like hooligans who mingled in society.

Yu Zhao felt the gaze of the man beside her. She followed his line of sight and saw the group of hooligans.

“Are you worried about me?” she asked with a sneer on her face.

“I’m considering whether I should send you back to school to avoid being targeted.” Jiang Zhe retracted his gaze. There was no emotion in his indifferent voice.

Yu Zhao couldn’t help but burst out laughing. “Ha! Jiang Zhe, if I’m not mistaken, you’ve helped me apply for leave from school, so I can stay out tonight.”

“Oh?” Jiang Zhe raised an eyebrow.

Yu Zhao’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “Isn’t that so?”

“So, you asked me to apply for leave for you just to walk on the road alone in the middle of the night?” Jiang Zhe was suddenly confused. What was this little girl thinking?

“Of course not. I just went to the Yu family.” Yu Zhao restrained her gaze and created a sense of loneliness for herself.

Hearing this, Jiang Zhe looked up at the road sign. This place was indeed not far from the Yu family.

Yu family?

Jiang Zhe narrowed his eyes. “Did you go to the Yu family but didn’t go in?”

Yu Zhao raised her eyebrows and pretended that her thoughts had been seen through.

She sighed and asked Jiang Zhe in return, “So what if I am? You’ve already investigated it, haven’t you?”

For a moment, Jiang Zhe couldn’t answer.

What he had investigated was true as Yu Zhao had said. He even found out that Yu Yuan had erased the fact that Yu Zhao was his biological daughter and treated Yu En as his only daughter, raising her by his side.

With such cold-blooded parents, it was no wonder that Yu Zhao looked independent and indifferent, and even… very direct.

She didn’t know how to hide at all.

At least, that was what he saw for now.

Suddenly, Yu Zhao stopped in her tracks. She then quickly extended her fist toward a man who was rushing toward her and punched him hard.

The man was in pain, and his screams pierced the air, attracting the attention of the people around him.

“Stinky girl, how dare you launch a sneak attack!” The man roared and swung his arm at Yu Zhao.

Yu Zhao dodged and retaliated.

The commotion caused by the two’s fight attracted many onlookers, and they kept discussing around them.

Although Yu Zhao looked weak, she was agile and nimble.

She took down the man with one move and kicked him a few times. The man flew to the ground and wailed in pain.

The group of people who were with the man did not dare to come forward again when they saw that she had such good skills.

“Didn’t you want to mess with me? Come on!” Yu Zhao faced those people and slowly moved back. Her attitude was arrogant and willful.

“You b*tch! You force us to do this.” The man in the lead glared at her fiercely and took out his phone to make a call.

Yu Zhao’s eyelids twitched. ‘How dare this group of scum call for help!’

“Bullying a girl with numbers. What kind of men are you to bully a girl with a bunch of men?” Just as the group of people was about to make a call, a deep voice suddenly rang out.

Everyone looked over and saw a handsome man in white casual clothes walking towards them with long, straight legs.

He was holding a bottle of mineral water in his hand as he approached them slowly. There was a frivolous smile on his face, making it difficult for people to figure him out.

“You… Who the f*ck are you? Mind your own business,” the man in the lead cursed fiercely but a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

It was because he saw that the man’s eyes were sharp and unfathomable.

“Oh? I just heard that you were looking for someone to teach this girl a lesson. What? You don’t dare to do it?”

Jiang Zhe had a devilish smile on his face. He looked lazy and casual, but those who were familiar with him knew that this kind of person was often extremely dangerous.

Yu Zhao was stunned. She didn’t expect Jiang Zhe to get out of the car at this time.

If he wasn’t there, she could probably knock down the person on the phone right now.

However, it might be a little difficult to make a move with him around.

Jiang Zhe glanced at Yu Zhao, who was standing still. His eyes darkened, and he walked to her side.

“Don’t be afraid, I’m here.” His clear and deep voice was like a warm current that flowed into Yu Zhao’s heart.

She was stunned. She looked up and met a pair of deep and charming black eyes. Then, she looked away unnaturally.

“Thank you,” she said. She pursed her lips and smiled. “No one has ever taken care of me like this. It feels good.”

“Hey, I’m telling you! If you know what’s good for you, then get lost. Otherwise, I’ll beat you up too.”

The men saw Jiang Zhe’s leisurely appearance and immediately felt uneasy, threatening him.
