C11 He Came to Save Her.

As Muh Jingyan stepped onto the school grounds, her path was abruptly obstructed by a lean silhouette. She lifted her gaze to meet Soong Xian's furious stare. An involuntary frown creased her brow.

"What's your relationship with that man? Are you really being kept by him?" Soong Xian demanded, his voice seething with anger.

Muh Jingyan's frown deepened as she regarded his rage. Impatience flickered in her eyes as she retorted icily, "What concern is it of yours whether I'm being kept by him or not? Step aside!"

"No. Muh Jingyan, you owe me an explanation. Are you aware that rumors of you being a rich man's plaything have spread across the entire school? You're utterly shameless!"

Soong Xian's anger intensified, his glare burning into Muh Jingyan.

"Move! I don't need you meddling in my affairs!" Muh Jingyan's impatience surged. Her disdain for Soong Xian had reached its peak.

"Muh Jingyan, you have no shame! To be kept by someone and still stand so defiant!" Soong Xian bellowed.

"Soong Xian, who do you think you are to me? By what right do you meddle in my life?"

His rage deflated under Muh Jingyan's icy, mocking stare. Soong Xian's face fell, and his anger gave way to frustration. He pleaded, "Jingyan, I know I'm to blame. But my feelings for you are genuine. I can't stand by and watch you make a mistake. Let's get back together; I swear I'll treat you right."

He extended his arms to embrace her, but Muh Jingyan stepped back, avoiding his touch.

Her evasion infuriated Soong Xian, panic flashing in his eyes. "Muh Jingyan, you'll regret this. One day, you'll be begging me to come back to you!"

With a cold, furious roar, Soong Xian stormed off.

Muh Jingyan didn't spare a glance for the retreating Soong Xian as she made her way to the dormitory. Whispers followed her, but her expression remained frosty.

Upon arriving at her dorm, Qianqian was nowhere to be seen. Assuming her friend was out, Muh Jingyan was about to relax when her phone rang. An unfamiliar number flashed on the screen. She assumed it was Soong Xian and was about to disconnect when she heard a cacophony of curses and muffled groans.

"Who is this?" she demanded, her voice cold and intimidating.

Recognizing Qianqian's groans, Muh Jingyan's heart clenched. Was her friend being attacked?

"Muh Jingyan, come to the back mountain beside the school now. If you don't, I'll kill Leng Qianqian!" The phone transmitted a man's menacing threat.

Muh Jingyan's frown returned as she responded with frosty resolve, "I'll come, but you better not harm Leng Qianqian. Lay a finger on her, and you'll regret it."

"Muh Jingyan, have you lost your mind? Who do you think you are to set terms? Come quickly if you know what's good for you!"

The man's voice, laced with malice, echoed again, backed by the lewd jeers of his accomplices.

"Yanyan, don't come! I'll be fine. You cowards, if you dare, just kill me!"

Leng Qianqian's defiant cry spurred Muh Jingyan into action, her expression turning stone-cold with lethal intent. They had the audacity to harm her friend; she was determined to confront them.

Ending the call, Muh Jingyan left the dorm and headed towards the back mountain. From a distance, she saw a group assaulting Leng Qianqian, striking and kicking her. A chilling loathing and murderous intent swept through Muh Jingyan as she approached.

The ringleader sneered upon seeing her arrival. "I didn't expect you to actually show up. Aren't you afraid to die here?"

"I'm here now. Let her go," Muh Jingyan demanded, her voice tinged with pain as she saw Leng Qianqian's battered form on the ground, feeling a twinge of guilt. It was her they wanted, yet Qianqian was paying the price.

"Yanyan, you shouldn't have come," Leng Qianqian murmured weakly before her swollen eyes shut and she lost consciousness.

"Who hit her? Step forward!" Muh Jingyan's fury was palpable, her menacing gaze sweeping over the group.

The intensity of Muh Jingyan's animosity and chill left the group momentarily taken aback. She was supposed to be a fragile woman, according to their employer. So where was this dangerous aura coming from?

"Muh Jingyan, someone's put a price on your head. If you don't want to get hurt, you'll surrender quietly. Otherwise, don't blame us for being ruthless!"

"Really?"

Muh Jingyan's eyes narrowed, her icy, detached expression now a mask of bloodlust and murderous intent. It had been far too long since anyone had dared to challenge her.

A merciless glint flickered in her gaze as she offered a chilling smile to the group before her. "Go ahead, try your luck. Let's see if you can lay a finger on me."

"Hmph, if you won't heed my warning, you've only yourself to blame!"

The leader snorted, and in an instant, Muh Jingyan was encircled by a dozen figures, their eyes gleaming with avarice as they appraised her.

"Boss, the guy said we could do what we want with her body. How about we take turns with her first?"

A sleazy man ogled Muh Jingyan's delicate beauty with a vile grin, his eyes alight with lust.

"Right, we'll have our way with her today!" The leader's eyes also shone with greed, his laughter sinister.

As the men advanced, Muh Jingyan's eyes blazed with unyielding killing intent. Her presence shifted, exuding ferocity and murderous energy as she launched herself at the encroaching men.

Her strikes were brutal, her movements a blur of speed. In an instant, several were sent flying by her kicks.

No one could have imagined such a slender, delicate figure could unleash such potent force and deadly intent. Her every attack was merciless, her dainty palms striking with precision at their vulnerabilities.

The thud of bodies hitting the ground, the screams of terror, and the crunch of bones crushed by Muh Jingyan's hands filled the air. The unrestrained bloodlust and killing intent radiating from her sent shivers down the spines of all who witnessed it.
