When she arrived at the classroom, Sarah Hill saw Alice Reed. Her thoughts shifted and she thought, “Ryan Brooks has offended David Thompson. What if he gets retaliated against? Alice Reed is so capable—if I beg her, maybe she can help Ryan Brooks settle things with David Thompson?”

With this in mind, Sarah Hill sat down next to Alice Reed, and, a bit shyly, said, “Alice Reed, could I ask you for a favor?”

Alice Reed hadn’t expected the class committee member to take the initiative to talk to her. She was momentarily stunned, then smiled and said, “Sarah Hill, if you need any help, just say the word. I’ll definitely help you.”

“It’s not about me, it’s about Ryan Brooks.”

“What? It’s about the boss!”

As soon as Alice Reed heard it was about Ryan Brooks, she became interested. After listening to Sarah Hill explain what had happened, she frowned, realizing the situation was rather tricky.

Although the 聂 family was wealthy and powerful, the 李 family was no weaker. In fact, because they developed in different directions, the 李 family was even stronger than the 聂 family in some shady areas, to the point that even the 聂 family was wary of them.

Both families were prominent in Dong’an City. The 李 family definitely wouldn’t dare lay a hand on Alice Reed, but no matter how good Ryan Brooks was at driving, he had no background. David Thompson would never take him seriously, and even if Alice Reed spoke up, it might not help.

“Alice Reed, is this matter a bit troublesome?” Sarah Hill noticed the troubled look on Alice Reed’s face and grew even more worried. If even Alice Reed looked like this, then Ryan Brooks was definitely in deep trouble.

“I’ll try making a call first. If it’s for the boss, I have to help.”

Alice Reed’s expression grew serious as she took out her phone and called David Thompson.

When the call connected, she spoke into the receiver, “Hello, David Thompson, I want to discuss something with you.”

“The one million I lost to you in last night’s street race—I’ll transfer it to you right away. But it’s just a million. I can’t believe Miss 聂 herself is calling to collect a debt. Are you afraid I can’t pay?”

“It’s not about that. I wanted to ask if you could let go of the matter between you and Ryan Brooks.”

“Let it go? Heh, he broke my jaw, knocked out three of my teeth, and humiliated me in front of everyone in the cafeteria. Do you think I can just swallow that?”

“He’s my boss. Can you do me a favor? I’ll forgo the one million.”

“It’s not just about a million—even if it were ten million, don’t think I’ll let him off. And let me tell you, I’ve already told my dad about this. He was furious when he found out I was beaten up, and told me I could mobilize anyone I want to deal with Ryan Brooks. Goodbye!”

With that, David Thompson hung up, and the beeping tone came through the receiver.

Hearing David Thompson’s last words, Alice Reed’s face turned a bit pale. David Thompson’s father had given him free rein to mobilize people—this was practically a death sentence for Ryan Brooks!

“Where’s the boss? He needs to run right away.”

“Where’s the boss? He needs to run right away.”

Alice Reed snapped back to her senses, grabbed Sarah Hill’s shoulders, and asked urgently.

Hearing Alice Reed say that Ryan Brooks needed to run, Sarah Hill’s heart skipped a beat. She realized the situation between Ryan Brooks and David Thompson was even more serious than she’d thought.

She didn’t have time to ask what was going on. Grabbing Alice Reed, she ran downstairs. “Ryan Brooks is downstairs.”

The two of them hurried downstairs, but there was no sign of Ryan Brooks anywhere.

……

After returning to the School of Computer Science, Ryan Brooks didn’t go to the classroom. At the entrance to the hallway, he was stopped by his homeroom teacher, Emily Walker, who called him into her office.

Looking at Emily Walker’s long legs, her alluring figure wrapped in a professional suit, and the irresistible charm in her eyes, Ryan Brooks couldn’t help but marvel again at the power of a seductive physique—even he was a little tempted, his blood surging.

Emily Walker sat behind her desk, a troubled look on her gentle face, and said, “Ryan Brooks, the director of academic affairs just called me. He said you got into a fight in the alley outside the textbook office. Is that true?”

Ryan Brooks hadn’t expected the beautiful teacher to call him in for this. He replied, “Teacher Walker, those thugs were trying to harass Sarah Hill, so I stepped in.”

Hearing this, Emily Walker’s gaze toward Ryan Brooks flashed with admiration. This student wasn’t swayed by her beauty, and he even acted bravely to help the class committee member. Emily Walker saw him in a new light.

But then Emily Walker frowned and said to Ryan Brooks, “You weren’t wrong to do that, but you’ve caused trouble. Those thugs are members of the Black Wolf Gang. Their boss, Wei Yong, is a major figure in the Jianglin District. He’s very powerful. The director of academic affairs said Wei Yong called the principal directly, demanding the school hand you over, or else no student will be able to study in peace from now on.”

It was just a few thugs, but the other side had gone straight to the principal and was making such brazen threats. Only now did Ryan Brooks realize the Black Wolf Gang really did have some power.

“These bad guys are way too arrogant! Is there no law at all?” Ryan Brooks said indignantly, then changed the subject and looked at Emily Walker: “Teacher Walker, what did the principal say? He’s not really going to hand me over, is he?”
