C19 Lin Hui

Gao Mu was well aware of who they were referring to as Ma. He also knew what Ma was planning to do that day.

"Gao Mu, come out here!" As Gao Mu was getting ready to tackle his homework, he heard someone bellowing from the doorway of Class 3.

The students of Class 3 all turned their attention to the entrance.

There, the three guys Gao Mu had previously taken down were standing with an air of defiance.

Subsequently, several students from Class 3 rose to their feet in unison.

Gao Mu didn't know these individuals well, but he recognized them.

Lin Hui was a prominent figure at the school.

He wasn't just skilled in a fight; his academic performance was impressive too. He consistently ranked in the top thirty of his grade and was always among the top ten in his class.

"The nerve of you Class 6 folks is growing," Lin Hui said, eyeing the trio at the door with a mocking tone.

The expressions of the three men shifted uncomfortably under Lin Hui's gaze.

Truth be told, they were intimidated by Lin Hui. His reputation had preceded him.

But the circumstances were different today.

"We're not here for you," they said, careful not to provoke Lin Hui. One of them pointed at Gao Mu and declared, "We've come for him."

Lin Hui glanced at Gao Mu, his face etched with curiosity.

"Has he wronged you?" Lin Hui didn't recognize the three men, nor did he know Gao Mu. However, since Class 3 was his domain, he instinctively treated Gao Mu as one of his own.

One of them stated firmly, "I'm here to tell Gao Mu that if he doesn't apologize to us right now, we'll bring a whole group to beat him up after school!"

This statement caused a stir among the students of Class 3.

Lin Hui gave the three a sharp look and frowned. "You're going to call in outsiders to gang up on one of our own students? That's utterly disgraceful."

The trio paid no heed to Lin Hui's comments. They pointed at Gao Mu and demanded, "Apologize to us now, or you're going to regret it."

Gao Mu gave the trio a quick glance before swiftly rising from his seat and making his way toward the classroom door.

"Apologize?" Gao Mu queried as he strode forward, "How exactly do you expect me to apologize?"

It was clear that the three had come to intimidate Gao Mu, yet they lacked the strength to do so. As Gao Mu approached, memories of their previous encounter flashed through their minds, causing them to retreat with ashen faces.

"You wanted an apology, right?" Gao Mu's voice was icy as he continued, "So, how should I apologize?"

Too preoccupied with backing away, the three couldn't muster a reply to Gao Mu.

"Scared, are you?" Gao Mu sneered at their timid display. "Go tell your boss, Mr. Ma, to wait for me at the school entrance like a good boy. I'm certain I can take them down again."

With a dismissive wave of his hand, Gao Mu signaled that they were free to go.

The three of them hurriedly tumbled out of the Class 3 classroom.

Gao Mu, noticing the astonished expressions of his classmates, simply smiled and remarked, "It's nothing major!"

Meanwhile, Lin Hui remained rooted to the spot, his gaze shimmering with uncertainty. Eventually, he rose and made his way toward Gao Mu, his two close friends trailing behind him.
