Leng Sa headed in the direction where Fu Annie had gone. She ran quite fast, and Leng Sa had to spend some effort to catch up with her. Just as she walked into the alley, she heard Fu Annie's sobbing from the other end of the alley. "Don't fight! Stop hitting him!" Accompanied by the sounds of fighting.
"It's not us looking for trouble, Miss Fu. He started it. You should move aside, it's not good if you get hurt," a male voice said.
Fu Annie said, "He didn't mean to do it. Don't hit him! I…"
"Quiet!" came a hoarse voice, sounding like a teenage boy going through a voice change. It wasn't pleasant to listen to, but it was filled with the rare aggressiveness of a boy of that age.
At the end of the alley, a boy in a school uniform was surrounded by four teenagers who were a few years older. Fu Annie stood against the wall, looking helpless, her eyes turning red from crying. The boy had disheveled short hair, and a swollen lip, and his clothes were in disarray, clearly the aftermath of a fight.
"Fu Annie, get lost!" the boy snapped irritably, giving her a dismissive glance. "Who asked you to meddle?"
Fu Annie shouted, "Fu Yangcheng, please stop fighting. If Mother finds out tomorrow… If she finds out…" Without letting her finish, the boy sneered and taunted, "What if she finds out? Do you think she'll care? Go back to school and mind your own business."
Leng Sa finally noticed that this boy appeared to be half a head taller than Fu Annie, but there was a striking resemblance between them. However, while Fu Annie looked cute and obedient, this young man exuded an aura of hostility, making it hard to notice their similarities. This young man was Fu Annie's twin brother, Fu Yangcheng, the Fifth Young Master of the Fu family.
One of the teenagers surrounding him sneered. "Fu Yangcheng, apologize to us. For the sake of the Sixth Young Lady, we'll forget about this matter."
Fu Yangcheng sneered, "Apologize to you? Are you worthy?"
"F*ck!" The group of teenagers became furious instantly. "Fu Yangcheng, don't think just because you're from the Fu family, nobody dares to touch you! Who cares about the Fifth Young Master Fu? You're just son of a b*tch! Why are you acting so arrogantly?"
"What did you say?!" Fu Yangcheng's voice turned cold. Without saying another word, he lunged at the teenagers again, and another brawl erupted.
Fu Annie watched helplessly, unable to hold back her tears any longer. She cried out, "Stop! If you don't stop, I'll call for help!"
"What are you doing?" A cool voice came from outside. Leng Sa slowly walked over to the group of teenagers who were amid a scuffle.
"Sister Mingyue!" Upon seeing Leng Sa, Fu Annie froze before quickly running towards her.
She patted Fu Annie's back, signaling her not to worry, and then walked towards the group of teenagers.
"Sister Mingyue, don't go over there!" Fu Annie hurriedly cautioned.
Leng Sa smiled and said, "It's alright."
She walked up to the group and grabbed one by the collar from behind, tossing him aside. Then, she caught another one and kicked away another who was trying to punch her. Finally, she threw the boy in her hand at another youth who pounced on her.
Finally, she twisted the wrist of the boy, Fu Yangcheng, who was swinging a fist at her. She pinned his hand behind.
The alley fell silent. The teenagers in front of her and Fu Annie stared in astonishment at her, who appeared to be a typical female university student.
This woman… effortlessly defeated five teenagers who were not much shorter than her in just a matter of moments.
"You… who are you?" One of the boys sitting on the ground asked.
Fu Yangcheng, still held by Leng Sa, shouted, "Who are you?! Let go of me!" He tried to strike behind him again with his other free hand, but she caught his hand and pressed it against his back. He was pushed against the wall, and his once-handsome face was almost deformed by the pressing pressure.
"Let go of me if you dare! Do you believe that I'll kill you!" He roared.
"I don't think so," she replied calmly. "With your noob level of fighting, you want to kill me? Dream on." She lifted his left hand and pressed against his right, now her other hand free to keep a firm grip on his neck.
He began to struggle frantically, but she had one hand behind his back and the other pressing down on his neck, rendering him immobile. He attempted to kick backward with his leg, but before he could lift it, she raised her foot and kicked his calf with the tip of her shoe. Although her shoes were not that hard, Fu Yangcheng couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.
The other teenagers who had initially been angry, watched the scene unfold and felt a surge of sympathy for Fu Yangcheng. They helped him stand up and looked warily at Leng Sa. One of them spoke, "You… don't mess around. He's from the Fu family."
She found it amusing and turned to them, saying, "Didn't you beat him up just now?"
The leader of the group looked somewhat embarrassed and said, "Well, it's not the same. He deserved a beating! We just wanted to… teach him a lesson."
Fu Yangcheng, who had stopped struggling, turned his head with difficulty and glared at the leader.
"What did he do?" Leng Sa asked.
The teenager explained, "He's a lunatic! My buddy didn't do anything; he was just sitting at the same table with him, and he kicked my friend to the ground."
"Also… when a female classmate handed him water, he splashed the water on her face!"
Leng Sa looked at Fu Yangcheng thoughtfully. "If that's the case, he deserves beatings."
"It's none of your business!" Fu Yangcheng stopped struggling, but his mouth refused to keep quiet. "You meddlesome woman, just you wait!"
"Fu Yangcheng!" Fu Annie finally regained her senses and rushed over, urging, "Stop it! Don't say nonsense! Sister Mingyue, he, he…," Leng Sa turned to the teenagers and said, "You can leave now; don't get into fights in the future."
The teenagers, realizing they were no match for her, didn't argue further. After casting glances at Fu Yangcheng and Fu Annie, they turned and left.
Leng Sa released Fu Yangcheng, and he turned around, glaring at her malevolently. He then asked Fu Annie, "Did you bring her here?"
Fu Annie tugged at her brother's sleeve and said softly, "This is Sister-in-law."
Fu Yangcheng hesitated for a moment before realizing that that term referred to Leng Sa.
He crossed his arms and sized Leng Sa up for a moment before sneering. "So you're the future sister-in-law. Looks like Fu Yucheng still has some discernment after all. Otherwise, that wimp would've been beaten to death by you?"
Leng Sa smiled. "The pot calling the kettle black. A rookie is no better than a weak chicken."
"You!" His eyes flared with anger, but when he thought of Leng Sa's earlier display of strength, he suppressed his emotion and sneered. "Do the old man and Fu Fengcheng know your true colors?"
Leng Sa flexed her wrist and replied, "If you dare to spread rumors about me that will ruin my marriage prospects, I'll make sure you'll be handicapped."
"…" Fu Annie looked pitifully at her future sister-in-law, thinking. "Why is my sister-in-law so fierce? Did I do something wrong?
"…" Fu Fengcheng must have accumulated some bad karma to end up with such a wife. Was the old man blind?
