School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert

But today, with the grades revealed, he felt the exhilarating sensation of winter vacation dissipate suddenly, plunging him deep into the abyss.

"How could this be..." Jiang Xiaoliang was profoundly distressed.

During the morning classes, Jiang Xiaoliang had been in a daze almost the entire time, as if under a spell.

"Xiaoliang, what's wrong with you?" a boy with a good relationship with Jiang Xiaoliang moved closer to ask.

"It's nothing!" Jiang Xiaoliang shook his head and said, "I'm fine, just feeling a bit unwell."

"Do you want to visit the infirmary?" the boy asked curiously.

"No need, I'll just go rest for a bit!" Jiang Xiaoliang replied.

After speaking, Jiang Xiaoliang, carrying his backpack, walked out head down and taciturn.

"Strange!" the boy muttered, confused, "What's up with Jiang Xiaoliang today? He seems off."

Jiang Xiaoliang's odd behavior went unnoticed, as everyone's attention was focused on Xiao Han and Chen Zihan.

After school, Chen Zihan slung her backpack over her shoulder and unexpectedly took the initiative to hold Xiao Han's hand. Hand in hand, they matched together like a couple, immediately causing many boys to break their hearts. Watching the pair hand in hand, they felt utterly dejected.

"My God, did Xiao Han really win over Chen Zihan?"

"Incredible, Xiao Han actually chased down Chen Zihan!"

For many boys, it seemed anyone could have been chosen by Chen Zihan, except Xiao Han. Because not only was Xiao Han reticent but also timid. His grades were poor, and his family was destitute. Such an inconspicuous person, which woman would like him?

However, a few months ago, Xiao Han turned things around dramatically, his grades skyrocketing, and moreover, there was some ambiguity in his relationship with Chen Zihan.

Today, the two of them officially started holding hands.

Watching the two walk out of the classroom, a bunch of people were instantly filled with sorrow.

"My goddess, she was actually taken away by that guy, Xiao Han."

"That's awful!"

"No, I must find a way to win back Chen Zihan!"

Many boys shouted. Although Xiao Han's grades had improved, they still didn't think he was worthy of Chen Zihan. In their eyes, Chen Zihan was outstanding, a fairy who managed to remain unsoiled by the mud. She shouldn't belong to any man on earth. She should belong in the heavens, admired from afar but never besmirched.

"Are you trying to make all the boys in the school hate me?" Xiao Han said with a wry smile.

"No choice, do you expect this blockhead to take the initiative?" Chen Zihan clung tightly to Xiao Han's arm, ignoring the astonished, shocked, and even jealous glances from around them. Chen Zihan relished being the center of attention.

"I just feel like this might be a bit inappropriate at school!" Xiao Han said awkwardly.

"What's inappropriate about it?" Chen Zihan glanced at him and then said, "Do you still need to care what others think? If you cared about other people's views, why would you fight, even going so far as to break Jiang Xiaoliang's arm? Aren't you afraid of retaliation from the Jiang family?"

"Didn't he, Jiang Xiaoliang, obtain a guaranteed admission spot from the principal?" Xiao Han said coldly with a smirk, "The Jiang family wouldn't dare make a fuss anymore. If they still make a fuss, that guaranteed spot might just be canceled."

"A guaranteed spot can still be canceled?" Chen Zihan looked at Xiao Han curiously.

"Anything is possible!" Xiao Han, holding Chen Zihan's hand, slowly walked outside along the school's perimeter wall. They walked along the wall, stepping on the moist ground after a light snow, occasionally splashing a little water. Xiao Han said indifferently, "With this obvious regression in Jiang Xiaoliang's performance, the Jiang family is even less likely to stir up trouble.

If the guarantee were to be canceled, it would be difficult for him to get into a university of choice with his own abilities."

"Hearing your analysis, it does make some sense!" Chen Zihan nodded, smiling.

Chen Zihan wrapped around Xiao Han's arm, holding his warm hand, her head gently resting on his shoulder, like a pair of intimate lovers, drawing curious glances from passersby. The boy handsome and dapper; the girl beautiful and exquisite. Indeed, they were a match made in heaven, a pair designed by fate.

Xiao Han was quite good-looking, but Chen Zihan's appearance was even more striking.

In this society where men outnumber women, China will have thirty million bachelors, thus making girls particularly popular. Especially in this society, many mothers-in-law take the opportunity to raise their demands. If someone cannot come up with a dowry of ten or twenty thousand, they can forget about having their daughters married off.

Especially a girl as striking as Chen Zihan was even more sought after.

As the two people walked slowly along the path, suddenly, a Honda Odyssey business van stopped in front of Xiao Han, followed by a Golden Van. The doors opened and more than ten knife-wielding men quickly clambered down from the vehicle.

The leader was none other than Li Shan.

"Is it you?" Xiao Han quickly shielded Chen Zihan behind his back.

"Hehe, Xiao Han, Happy New Year," Li Shan smiled and said, "It's the New Year, why haven't you paid a visit to our Fourth Master?"

"I'm not familiar with your Fourth Master. Why should I go?" Xiao Han appeared very calm, but Chen Zihan, standing behind him, was utterly shaken. She had never encountered such a scene in her life. It looked just like the underworld gangs on TV. Extremely terrifying.

"Xiao Han, you have no say anymore!" Li Shan spoke up, "Come on, the Fourth Master wants to have a chat with you."

"Xiao Han, who are they?" Chen Zihan asked trembling.

"Don't be scared!" Xiao Han quickly shook his head and said, "Nothing will happen, go back and pretend you saw nothing."

"It won't be that easy. If you're leaving, we leave together," Li Shan waved his hand and said, "Don't try to send any signals, I am not stupid!"

Li Shan was afraid that as soon as Chen Zihan left, she would immediately make a phone call. So, he simply took both Xiao Han and Chen Zihan with him. Consequently, absolutely no one knew that Xiao Han was taken to the Fourth Master's place.

Chen Zihan clung tightly to Xiao Han's hand, and Xiao Han could feel her palms sweating profusely. He firmly grasped her hand and pulled her into his embrace. He knew Chen Zihan was petrified. Her whole body was shivering.

Li Shan's lips curled up with a sinister smile as he cheerily said, "Get in the car."

Xiao Han gripped Chen Zihan's hand and said, "Come, go with me, I won't let anyone bully you!"

"I..." Chen Zihan shivered with fear, but when she saw the determination in Xiao Han's eyes, her heart somewhat relaxed. Chen Zihan nodded slightly and said, "Okay."

Afterward, she followed Xiao Han into the Honda van. The two were pushed into the back row of seats, the middle two seats occupied by two burly men holding knives. One of the sturdy men turned his head to look at Chen Zihan, revealing an evil grin. From the moment he first saw Chen Zihan, he felt a compelling urge to dominate her, to pin her beneath him and ravage her violently.

Chen Zihan was terrified by the man's gaze and quickly burrowed into Xiao Han's embrace.

"Hehe..." the sturdy man smiled wickedly.

"Close your eyes, or I'll make you regret it for the rest of your life!" Xiao Han said coldly. Discover stories with empire

"Fuck, you little punk still dares to act tough?" the sturdy man scoffed, annoyed, lifting his knife towards Xiao Han, "Believe it or not, I'll chop you into pieces right now!"

Bang!

Suddenly, Xiao Han's foot flew out, his toes striking the sturdy man's wrist.

"Ouch..."

The sturdy man instantly felt pain, and the knife immediately fell from his hand. Xiao Han swiftly snatched the knife and, with a lightning-fast move, held it against the man's neck. He sneered coldly, "Let me make myself clear, if you dare to have any improper thoughts about her, be careful, or I'll cut off what's between your legs!"

"Ah!" By the time the sturdy man realized his knife was in Xiao Han's hands, and the blade was pressed against his neck, he felt utterly horrified and alarmed.

"Did you hear me!" Xiao Han increased his grip. The blade was extremely sharp, and it easily cut through the man's skin, with blood slowly trickling down along the skin's ridges.

"Yes, yes, I... I heard you!" the sturdy man nodded hastily.

"Drive!" Xiao Han waved, and handed the knife back to the man.

The sturdy man was dumbstruck. He thought Xiao Han would use the knife to threaten him all the way, but unexpectedly, he returned the advantage back to him, which seemed utterly unbelievable. Still, the sturdy man picked up the knife. Xiao Han leaned back, knocking his knees together, looking nothing like someone who was kidnapped.

Chen Zihan looked on at Xiao Han in amazement.

The authority Xiao Han had just demonstrated left Chen Zihan dumbstruck, for she had never seen such a domineering side of Xiao Han before. Xiao Han had always seemed honest, upright, and timid to her. Unexpectedly, Xiao Han also had dealings with underworld figures and even dared to confront them. Most importantly, he had won.

"Xiao Han, you..." Chen Zihan didn't know what to say.

"What is it?" Xiao Han hugged Chen Zihan and smiled slightly, saying, "I just didn't want them to bully you."

"When did you offend them?" Chen Zihan asked.

"I didn't offend them," Xiao Han shook his head and said, "It was Liao Zhijie who had them come after me."
