Quick Transmigration - After Betraying the Male Lead, the Supporting Female Character Gets Locked Up and Cries - Chapter 48

Content Warning: Physical Assault

As Su Yu expected, not long after, the system rushed over in a panic and said: 【Host, bad news! Su Jingyu has hired a group of thugs, planning to take advantage of the male lead being alone and beat him up.】

【Beat him up?】 Su Yu was surprised.

In her imagination, Su Jingyu might personally confront the male lead and threaten him, or perhaps find someone to trip him up, but she never expected such a direct approach.

【As expected of  my brother—decisive and ruthless.】

The system was almost dying of anxiety: 【What do we do? That group has already gone over! The male lead has thin arms and legs; what if he gets beaten to death?】

【Because of our actions leading to the deaths of the male and female leads, we would be publicly reprimanded and then blacklisted. Once blacklisted, we wouldn’t earn any points, and without points, we’d starve…】

The system broke down in tears.

Su Yu was silent for two seconds: 【…I know you’re upset, but don’t be just yet. First of all, the male lead isn’t so easily beaten to death. Secondly, Su Jingyu isn’t that foolish.】

The system’s sobs ceased.

Su Yu said: 【So, don’t just stand there; hurry up and send me the address.】

When Su Yu arrived, she could hear the sickening sounds of close combat echoing through the alley, accompanied by Qi Huaizhi’s stifled groans that made her wince.

She didn’t dare to show her face and stayed back, letting the system provide her with live updates.

Four burly men surrounded Qi Huaizhi.

Their solid, muscular frames stood in stark contrast to Qi Huaizhi’s tall and lean figure. They clenched their fists like four fierce beasts, focused on their prey, coordinated in their movements.

Breathing heavily, Qi Huaizhi leaned against the wall, his gaze vigilant as he calmly tried to negotiate: “Who are you? Who sent you? Do you want money or revenge?”

“If it’s the former, there’s no need for this. I can give you money; if it’s the latter, I can offer double whatever price he’s giving you, just let me go.”

While speaking, he subtly scanned his surroundings, looking for a chance to escape.

The four men sneered: “We’re not going to tarnish our reputation.”

It seemed like it was for revenge.

Qi Huaizhi’s heart sank, unable to think of who he had offended or who would go to such lengths to have him beaten.

“Stop wasting time; just get this over with and take a picture to report back to the employer.”

The four men lunged at him.

Two fists against four hands, and considering they were armed, it didn’t take long for Qi Huaizhi to be brought down. Soon after, a flurry of punches and kicks rained down on him like a downpour.

He curled his body slightly to protect his head and stomach, the two most critical areas.

The pain made Qi Huaizhi groan.

He didn’t know how long it had been; eventually, the four men slowed down and stopped, standing over him, looking down from above at this pretty boy.

One of them pulled out a phone and snapped a few pictures.

Then, he said the line given by their employer—

“Kid, we’re just doing this for the money. The employer wants us to tell you not to provoke those you shouldn’t and not to entangle with those who don’t want to be bothered; otherwise, next time it won’t just be a beating.”

After saying this, they turned to leave, leaving behind a man lying motionless on the ground, uncertain of his life or death.

In times like this, Qi Huaizhi’s mind became increasingly calm and active.

Enduring his physical discomfort, he propped himself up and slowly moved to lean against the wall.

Such a simple action, yet it took all his strength.

Qi Huaizhi’s breath was shallow; he didn’t dare exert himself too much because it hurt.

He gently wiped the corner of his mouth with his thumb, noticing blood, then looked down at his dust-covered clothes and couldn’t help but hiss in pain.

They had hit him hard; he wondered if any ribs were broken.

Not to mention the pain in his arms, thighs, and back.

He shifted slightly, trying to find a more comfortable position, his mind racing over the words he had just heard.

“Don’t provoke those you shouldn’t, don’t entangle with those you shouldn’t…” He pondered, “Who are they talking about?”

At that moment, a smiling face unconsciously floated into his mind.

Suddenly, an urgent ringtone broke through his thoughts.

Qi Huaizhi glanced up; the sound was coming from not far away.

His phone had somehow slipped from his pocket and fallen to the ground, lying a distance away.

Qi Huaizhi reached out, but it was just out of reach.

He frowned slightly and pushed himself a few inches, which brought a wave of pain that made him wince; just as he was about to grab his phone—

A pair of delicate, fair hands picked it up before he could.

Qi Huaizhi froze, raising his gaze, and the person before him matched the face in his mind.

Su Yu smiled brightly, her eyes crescent-shaped: “What a coincidence.”

But every expression, every movement of hers indicated that this was no mere coincidence.

The ringtone in the phone had stopped automatically.

Su Yu slowly squatted down in front of Qi Huaizhi, looking him in the eye, her voice gentle: “Does it hurt?”

Curiously, she reached out and poked at the wound on his arm.

Very hard.

Qi Huaizhi shuddered slightly, his face paling, but he held back his cries of pain.

After all, he was still a student, and he couldn’t maintain a poker face in the face of such things.

Su Yu found it amusing and poked him again.

“I told you not to come bother me again, but you didn’t listen. Now look where you are! You had to learn the hard way, didn’t you?”

Qi Huaizhi shot up, his lips pale: “It’s you!”

Su Yu neither confirmed nor denied it.

The phone rang again, urgent and persistent, as if something important was at stake.

Neither of them paid it any mind.

Qi Huaizhi glared at Su Yu, his eyes fierce yet vulnerable, unwilling to believe she would do such a thing.

Su Yu blinked slowly and said: “Huaizhi, can’t we part ways in peace? I’ve already transferred double the amount you spent on me back to your card; isn’t that enough?”

“Honestly, I could have not given you anything; the expenses during our relationship were voluntary. Asking for it back after breaking up is a bit shameless.”

Su Yu pretended to sigh: “But you’re so poor, earning that money can’t be easy. Think of it as charity for a beggar on the street.”

“How pitiful.”

She casually gave a definition to the current Qi Huaizhi

The ringtone stopped.

The next second, it rang again.

Curious, Su Yu glanced down at it; a corner of the screen was shattered, likely broken during the earlier scuffle. Thankfully, it hadn’t been stepped on, or it would have been ruined.

“Is it from Bai Luo?”

Su Yu raised her brow, then seemed to think of something and said: “Oh right, Bai Luo seems to really like you. Last time, when she saw you in the rain downstairs, she almost cried and rushed out to give you an umbrella. I think you two are quite compatible.”

“She’d definitely be willing to suffer alongside you; why don’t you consider her?”

Qi Huaizhi clenched his fists, looking at Su Yu in disbelief, his eyes chilling: “What did you say?”

How could she say such a thing so casually?

Her tone was so casual, asking her ex-boyfriend to consider another woman.

“Su Yu.”

Qi Huaizhi suddenly asked: “Did you ever… have even the slightest bit of love for me?”
