Chapter 92: Poisoned
It was clear that Guo Jingjing had just returned to school and didn’t know who Chen Tianlong was, let alone his heroic deeds, otherwise, she wouldn’t have dared to be so arrogant.
After Guo Jingjing left, Lin Wushuang and Lu Xiaoyu sat down. Obviously, Miss Lin was still angry, puffing her cheeks as she took a few bites of her meal before putting down her chopsticks.
Chen Tianlong glanced over and could only smile bitterly. After all, in this situation, it wasn’t appropriate for him to hit a woman when two women were quarreling.
Previously, if Guo Jingjing wasn’t a girl, it wouldn’t have been as simple as just a slap and a fall.
At this moment, Chen Tianlong noticed Wu Mengting was angry too, which puzzled him. So he quickly picked a piece of beef from his dish and placed it in Wu Mengting’s plate.
"Mengting, have some more." Chen Tianlong smiled slightly.
"Hmph! If you were hitting someone, just hit them. Why did you have to pat her butt? Couldn’t you have chosen somewhere else?"
With Wu Mengting’s words, Chen Tianlong immediately understood that she was blaming him for taking advantage of the girl.
"Oh, I wasn’t thinking much at the time, just gave a casual pat, haha."
Chen Tianlong felt a bit awkward. Damn it, hitting a girl really is troublesome; can’t hit here, can’t hit there, might as well just stand there and let her hit.
On the surface, Wu Mengting scolded him, but she wasn’t very angry inside. Seeing Chen Tianlong giving her some meat, she became happy again, pouting a little, and started eating seriously.
About ten minutes later, as the four were nearly finished eating and ready to leave the cafeteria...
Suddenly, a group of more than a dozen people appeared at the cafeteria door. From their attire, one could tell they were from one of the lower-performing classes, apparently coming to stir up trouble again.
The leader was a tall and large boy, whom Chen Tianlong had met not long ago, a senior remedial student named Xu Wei.
Upon hearing that Guo Jingjing had been beaten up, Xu Wei was immediately furious. This girl often hung out with them, recognized as the campus Queen Bee.
Everyone who hung out with Guo Jingjing wanted to sleep with her, but so far, no one had succeeded.
The reason was simple; just when things were about to get serious, this girl would always find a reason to take off, and her martial arts skills weren’t bad either. Those weaker than her didn’t dare provoke her, and those stronger didn’t want to force things.
After all, this girl had connections, and now that she’s fallen to this state, it was puzzling to them.
"Jingjing, who was the idiot who dared to bully even you, they’ve got a death wish."
Receiving a call from Guo Jingjing, Xu Wei was excited, thinking that there might be a chance to impress, and maybe tonight, Guo Jingjing might let him take the lead.
This girl’s figure was fantastic, combined with her wild personality, it would definitely be thrilling.
"Yeah, they’re sitting by the window in the cafeteria, three girls and a guy. Beat the guy to pulp and give the girls a few slaps to make their faces swell like pigs’ heads."
Seeing reinforcements arrive, Guo Jingjing gritted her teeth and said.
"Okay, okay, no problem, as long as Jingjing is happy, leave the rest to me."
Xu Wei agreed readily. After all, he was already infamous for fighting at South Sea No.1 Middle School, at most he’d be taken to the office for a scolding and given a major demerit, nothing unbearable.
In this way, he might win Guo Jingjing’s favor and gain some benefits in the future.
Thinking about Guo Jingjing’s sexy figure, Xu Wei got excited, waved his right hand, "Let’s go beat them up."
Over a dozen followers enthusiastically followed him over, while Guo Jingjing trailed behind, wanting to see with her own eyes the Lin Family’s young lady and the annoying guy getting a group beating.
"Was it you who hit Guo Jingjing?" Xu Wei walked over to Lin Wushuang’s table and asked aggressively.
At this moment, Chen Tianlong was facing away from the crowd, so Xu Wei didn’t notice him immediately, instead looking at the three girls in front of him.
However, upon seeing them, Xu Wei was stunned. The beauty diagonally across from him looked so familiar; that person seemed to be South Sea No.1 Middle School’s number one campus belle, Lin Wushuang.
Lin Wushuang slightly raised her head, ready to pick up her tray and leave, but didn’t expect so many people to come, causing her to frown.
"It’s them, beat them up hard."
As Guo Jingjing caught up, she rushed over and pointed at Lin Wushuang, cursing, "It’s this stinky woman, make sure to beat her head until it’s swollen like a pig’s head later. Don’t let her think she can babble nonsense just because she’s a little attractive."
"May I ask, are you here to beat me up?"
Chen Tianlong suddenly turned around, revealing a hint of disdain in his eyes.
At this moment, Xu Wei’s eyes widened. While others might not know who Chen Tianlong was, he certainly did. This was the guy who had nearly beaten Hao Jian to death; provoking him was tantamount to seeking death.
"Ah, it turns out to be Chen Tianlong, I apologize for the interruption, it’s just like a burst of water rushing into the Dragon King’s temple. Please do carry on eating; we’ll make our leave now."
Upon confirming it was Chen Tianlong, Xu Wei hastily grabbed Guo Jingjing by the hand, turned around, and headed towards the door.
Leaving behind a group of bewildered underlings, standing there dazed.
"C’mon, get moving, or are you waiting to die there?"
Xu Wei, shocked, urgently turned back to yell at his dozen or so underlings.
The underlings were taken aback, then quickly understood and skulked off behind Xu Wei, exiting the cafeteria.
The three girls were a bit at a loss; these people were so aggressive a moment ago, how did they all disappear in the blink of an eye?
"Alright, has everyone finished eating? Let’s go." Chen Tianlong glanced at the three girls, noticing they had basically stopped eating.
Wu Mengting nodded, and Lin Wushuang stood up immediately. She didn’t want to walk with Chen Tianlong and Wu Mengting; it would seem a bit awkward.
Just after walking a few steps, she suddenly felt something was off, her head started spinning, and it felt like the world was spinning around her. She saw darkness in front of her eyes and lost consciousness.
Chen Tianlong, quick in his response, caught her in his arms just before she fell, crouching down and urgently called out a few times.
Seeing Lin Wushuang’s pale lips and slightly purple eye muscles, he frowned deeply, quickly grasping her hand to check her pulse.
"No good, poisoned!"
Chen Tianlong declared, and Wu Mengting and Lu Xiaoyu, who had walked over, immediately turned pale, never imagining such a thing would happen.
Friend Lu Xiaoyu hurriedly pulled out her phone to call an ambulance, and then made a call to Lin Batian. Hearing about his daughter’s poisoning, Lin Batian rushed over from his company.
At the same time, Wu Mengting had informed the principal. Ten minutes later, everyone was gathered in the school’s infirmary waiting for the ambulance to arrive.
Due to Lin Batian’s instructions, the hospital sent out a team of doctors to rush over to South Sea No.1 Middle School.
"Doctor, how is my daughter? Is she poisoned?" Lin Batian asked anxiously.
"She is poisoned, but the exact toxin isn’t identified yet. This poison is very strange and unprecedented in clinical symptoms." Dr. Peng Dawei from the Gastroenterology department said with a frown.
Having practiced medicine for over a decade, he had seen many cases of poisoning, but this was the first time encountering a toxin like this, leaving him a bit at a loss.
"Dr. Peng, you must save my daughter, whatever you need, just let me know." Lin Batian, hearing the doctor say this, felt a cold chill in his heart, utterly lost.
His wife had passed away early, leaving only his daughter to rely on. If he couldn’t even protect this last child, Lin Batian truly had no courage to continue living in this world.
"Well... What did Miss Lin eat before being poisoned? Is there any of it left?" the doctor suddenly asked.
