Chapter 088 【Worse Than Beasts】

The morning sun broke through the clouds, illuminating the streets and alleys of Hong Kong. In the distance, the horizon was tinged a deep crimson by the dawn, resembling a sea of fiery clouds from afar.

On the campus of Zifeng Middle School, a few sparrows perched on a power line, chirping incessantly.

Gu Feng sat in his office, a faint smile playing on his lips.

After morning exercises, he had visited the classroom of Class 8, Grade 4, only to find that the students were not reading novels or playing mobile games as usual. Instead, they were studying diligently.

Their change gave him a sense of relief.

Not far from Gu Feng's seat, Hu Hua held a ballpoint pen, continuously marking something in a book while humming a tune under his breath.

Clearly, he was in a very good mood.

Qi Hui and the others, seeing Hu Hua's excited expression, looked displeased. But remembering Hu Hua's "shrewish" behavior from the day before, they held back from speaking up.

Hu Hua, however, didn't notice the expressions of those around him. He was still lost in the joy of yesterday's escapade.

Recalling the bodies and faces of the two women at Yelaichun, his heart fluttered with excitement. Especially when recalling the feeling of those two women using their small, delicate mouths on him, he almost felt like moaning on the spot.

Seeing Hu Hua's smug expression, Gu Feng thought for a moment and decided to visit Xu Qin.

However, just as Gu Feng stood up to leave, he was startled to see Guan Mingyue appear at the office door, looking deeply wronged, with Xu Qin standing right beside her.

Xu Qin's expression was unusually grim, her brows tightly knitted together.

What had happened?

Gu Feng wondered. As he walked toward Guan Mingyue, he asked, "Guan Mingyue, what's wrong?"

As soon as Gu Feng spoke, everyone looked up, and even Hu Hua stopped humming.

When Hu Hua saw Guan Mingyue and Xu Qin at the door, his face fell slightly.

"Wah..." Amid everyone's puzzled expressions, Guan Mingyue threw herself into Gu Feng's arms, sobbing loudly.

Gu Feng was taken aback by Guan Mingyue's sudden action but then gently patted her shoulder and said, "Guan Mingyue, don't cry. What happened?"

Gu Feng's words only made Guan Mingyue cry even harder, her body trembling.

Just as everyone was wondering what had happened, Guan Mingyue spoke, her tone filled with grievance: "Teacher Gu, Teacher Hu bullied me!"

As soon as Guan Mingyue said this, everyone was shocked!

A male teacher bullying a female student? And the girl was this upset?!

At that moment, everyone turned their gaze toward Hu Hua, with Gu Feng and Xu Qin's eyes particularly icy.

Hu Hua shot up from his seat, pointing a yellowish finger and spluttering angrily, "Guan Mingyue, you can't just say things like that! When did I ever bully you?"

"You tried to assault me yesterday at the Imperial Garden Hotel!" Guan Mingyue suddenly raised her head, her face full of grievance, her beautiful eyes brimming with tears.

Assault?

As soon as these words were spoken, almost everyone was shocked, including Gu Feng!

"Guan Mingyue, what exactly happened?" Gu Feng's expression turned grim. In his view, if Guan Mingyue had truly been assaulted by Hu Hua, the situation was serious.

Meanwhile, Hu Hua was momentarily stunned, instinctively trying to recall what had happened at the hotel the day before. However, he had drunk too much at the time and couldn't remember anything clearly.

"Guan Mingyue, when did I ever assault you?" Hu Hua's confidence wavered as he spoke, sneaking a glance at Xu Qin, only to see her face cold as ice.

Guan Mingyue, who had been in Gu Feng's arms, hearing Hu Hua's attempt to deny it, immediately pulled away from Gu Feng and made as if to run headlong into the wall!

Everyone was stunned by Guan Mingyue's sudden action!

Gu Feng's expression changed, and he quickly grabbed hold of Guan Mingyue.

"Teacher Gu, I don't want to live anymore. Let me die, I don't want to live..." Guan Mingyue slumped to the floor, crying as if her heart were breaking.

"Hu Hua, what did you do to Guan Mingyue?" Gu Feng turned around, narrowing his eyes and staring intently at Hu Hua.

Hu Hua felt uncomfortable under Gu Feng's knife-like gaze and stammered nervously, "I didn't do anything!"

"Hmph!" At that moment, Xu Qin snorted coldly and produced a disc, saying, "Teacher Hu, you've really done a fine job! If it weren't for the video recorded by Yang Bing's phone, no one would know about your actions!"

Seeing the disc in Xu Qin's hand, Hu Hua's face turned pale, and a bad feeling surged within him.

Just as he was about to defend himself, he saw Gu Feng stride over to Xu Qin and ask, "Principal Xu, what exactly happened?"

Xu Qin glanced at Gu Feng, sighed, and said, "Teacher Gu, please take Guan Mingyue back to her class first and help calm her down."

Gu Feng seemed to understand the meaning in Xu Qin's eyes. He nodded, walked over to Guan Mingyue, and helped her up.

At that moment, Guan Mingyue's face was streaked with tears, her eyes dazed, as if she had suffered a severe blow.

"Guan Mingyue, come back to the class with me first," Gu Feng said softly.

Guan Mingyue nodded blankly and, supported by Gu Feng, left the office.

Meanwhile, Xu Qin gave Hu Hua a cold glance and said, "In five minutes, we'll hold an emergency meeting!"

With that, Xu Qin turned and left.

In the office, almost all the teachers glared angrily at Hu Hua.

For a teacher to do such a thing to his own student was simply beneath contempt!

"Hu Hua, you're truly disgusting, actually targeting a student!" Since the incident the day before, Qi Hui had developed a strong dislike for Hu Hua. Seeing Hu Hua's panicked expression now, he instinctively believed Hu Hua had done it and couldn't help but curse.

Hu Hua, who had been desperately trying to recall the events of the previous day, suddenly heard Qi Hui's words and retorted angrily, "Qi Hui, screw you! Don't you dare slander me!"

"Whether it's slander or not, we'll find out soon enough," Xia Wei, who rarely spoke, chimed in, giving Hu Hua a cold glance as she spoke.

"Exactly!" Wu Xue also shot Hu Hua a disgusted look and said to Qi Hui, "Qi Hui, don't bother with scum like him!"

"You... you all!" Hu Hua trembled with rage but couldn't find the words to respond.
