Chapter 46: Chapter 45: Rescue Again

(Sorry, I was a bit occupied this morning, so today’s update is a bit late.) ———————————————————— Should I interfere in this matter or not?

In Xiao Yi’s eyes, a trace of hesitation flickered. Although he had intervened once yesterday, if he did not step in today, yesterday’s incident might be dismissed by those people as an accident. But if he did interfere, he would undoubtedly enter their sights immediately.

Just at that moment, the car was almost upon the girl. She seemed to have been lost in thought beforehand, and it was only after hearing the screams of many people that she came back to her senses. Raising her head and seeing the electric scooter charging towards her like a missile, her face instantly turned pale, and she was stunned, losing the ability to react.

Well, might as well invite trouble!

Xiao Yi looked up and saw the beautiful face of the girl turn deathly pale, and a look of sad despair. It was as if a chord in his soul was struck. Gritting his teeth, he dashed forward, grabbed the girl, and spun around, dodging the direct path of the electric scooter while forcefully kicking towards the oncoming vehicle.

The person riding the electric scooter had prepared to hit someone and then use the brief obstruction to jump off the scooter in that moment. Seeing that he was about to strike the beautiful girl, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes. He was about to complete his task. Although he might face a year or two in prison for accidentally causing death or severe injury on campus, the generous reward and bright prospects that would follow this task made the risk seem insignificant.

However, just as he was fully unfolding his excitement, an unexpected change occurred. His pupils contracted violently. How could someone appear so quickly and whisk away the target? There was no way he could jump off now as the scooter wouldn’t stop.

At that moment, an even more unexpected event occurred. Just as he decided to jump off despite the pain, he suddenly saw the person he had seen before kicking his scooter. He no longer had the chance to jump off; the scooter immediately flew off the downhill slope. As it crashed down the slope, his pupils dilated with utter despair, and his gaze, full of spite, locked onto the troublemaker who had suddenly appeared, as if wanting to kill him with his hatred. Unfortunately, he was no Superman against the laws of gravity. In less than a second, his body had entirely crashed down the nearly eight-foot-high slope!

"Crack!"

The impact of the electric scooter with the ground emitted a loud noise.

"Phew!"

"Serves him right!"

"Such people recklessly speeding around the campus, he might as well have died from the crash."

"Exactly, it’s because of such trash, such scum, that you don’t feel safe walking around campus these days!"

"These rich kids are really trash, filled with nothing but air, bored of playing with Mercedes and BMWs, racing cars, and now they have come to mess around with electric scooters for thrills, they’ve really lost their minds!"

"..."

The crowd, having just watched the electric scooter head straight for the beautiful girl, had all held their breath, thinking she was going to be hit terribly, but then a sudden change of events occurred. A male student bravely rescued her, and everyone deeply exhaled, relieved. All these onlookers were students who did not wish to see a fellow student, especially a beauty, killed in such a way.

After hearing the loud crash, everyone immediately turned their attention to the electric scooter and its rider downhill. However, no one sympathized with him; instead, they all started to condemn him.

And some classmates had already started taking out their phones, sending the footage they just captured to the internet to incite public outrage.

This incident was truly despicable. Although the electric scooter had not targeted them, the rider’s reckless boldness had touched their most sensitive nerves and ignited their passion. If they did not denounce this trash today, who could say they wouldn’t be the next targets?

"Are you alright?"

Xiao Yi watched the electric scooter driver fall to the ground, saw his body hit the hard surface, and faint, before he exhaled, relaxed his grip on the hand of the girl he had just rescued, and his expression bore a trace of concern.

"I’m fine, thank you... ah..."

The girl had felt a tight grip around her just a moment ago, then she had spun in the air and landed on the ground. In that brief moment, she could not get a clear look at the face of the person who saved her. Since then, she had been unable to snap out of it, staring blankly as the scooter and the rider crashed downwards, not until she heard Xiao Yi’s voice did she come back to her senses. Instinctively wanting to thank him, she lifted her head and let out a scream, stunned.

The person who had saved her was the same person who had rescued her yesterday.

"Heh, it’s really quite a coincidence."

Xiao Yi touched his nose helplessly and smiled wryly. He understood why the girl was so shocked. Indeed, it was too much of a coincidence. Two days in a row, twice targeted, and both times he had been there. He felt somewhat frustrated, wondering if those people had investigated and knew he would be there before making their move.

"Thank you so much for rescuing me twice!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yi’s words, the girl realized she had been a bit out of sorts and her face flushed with embarrassment. However, she quickly lifted her head again, her eyes filled with sincere gratitude as she looked at Xiao Yi.

"No need to be so formal, I was just lending a helping hand. Besides, it seems you are also a student at Z University, so we are classmates. Heh, but you should be more careful from now. Today this..."

Xiao Yi waved his hand and smiled, then his expression became slightly serious as he pointed to the electric scooter and its driver below, intending to share his suspicion with the girl that it might have been deliberate, someone targeting her.

But he couldn’t protect her every day.

He didn’t continue speaking, however, because he felt it was no longer necessary. From the girl’s expression, he knew she understood everything. He didn’t need to say more, only adding, "You need to be careful on your own.".

"Yes, I know."

The girl nodded firmly. As she spoke, her gaze darted briefly to the electric scooter driver below, her eyes flashing with anger and sorrow. Would being cautious even help? These bad people had already completely surpassed her wildest imaginations of craziness and boldness. It was one thing yesterday outside the school, but today, inside the school grounds, they dared to be so brazen.

But quickly, she seemed to remember something, the anger and sorrow in her eyes fading as she turned to Xiao Yi, "By the way, you’ve rescued me twice now, and I still don’t know your name."
