80: Chapter 80: A Sheep into the Tiger’s Mouth?
“You damn ghost, now you must be smug, huh?
I saw it—Li Qian has already gone in, and I guess she’ll be at your door any moment now!” Liu Hua’s voice was sweet as syrup over WeChat.
“Don’t worry, I definitely won’t let you down, hahaha…” A man’s voice came through.
Bai Xiaofan remembered this voice, it was none other than the Dean of Instruction, Li Wu, the bald scoundrel!
“What’s going on?
Explain yourself!” Bai Xiaofan grabbed Liu Hua’s wrist and demanded in a low voice.
“What…
what are you going to do?” Liu Hua recognized Bai Xiaofan.
“Repeat what you just said, in detail.
Otherwise, I’ll spread the word about what you and Li Wu did last time and ruin your reputation!” As Bai Xiaofan spoke, the hand gripping the other’s wrist slightly tightened its grip.
“I’ll talk, I’ll tell you right now…” Liu Hua had never been a principled person.
Upon hearing Bai Xiaofan’s words, she spilled everything at once.
“Get lost.
Don’t run your mouth about today!” Bai Xiaofan let go of Liu Hua’s wrist and turned to enter the hotel.
But after reaching the hotel, Bai Xiaofan hesitated.
According to Liu Hua’s story, although Li Qian was coerced by Li Wu, she eventually agreed on her own.
If he went to rescue her now, would it seem like he was meddling too much?
It took barely three seconds for Bai Xiaofan to decide to intervene.
Even if Li Qian had agreed on her own, she was coerced.
Since he had come across the situation, he couldn’t ignore it—he recalled how Li Qian had also been kind to him!
In room 502, Li Wu looked at the pretty Li Qian standing opposite him, lost and confused, and his face nearly crinkled into a flower with his smile!
Ever since Li Qian started working at the school, he had had his eyes on her, but he had been frustrated by the lack of leverage to force her to submit.
“Don’t just stand there; come, sit next to me!” Li Wu patted the space beside him, smiling continuously.
“No…
I don’t need to, I still have things to do, I’m leaving now!” Since the moment she entered the room, Li Qian had regretted it, and now, hearing that he wanted her to sit next to him only increased her panic!
Li Qian wasn’t naive.
If she hadn’t been absolutely desperate, she wouldn’t have agreed to the beastly Li Wu’s demand.
How could she not realize what was implied in his gaze now?
“Leaving?
Li Qian, you must be joking, right?
There’s twenty thousand yuan here, and if you agree to me, I’ll give you another thirty thousand after we’re done.
Then you’ll have the money to treat your mother’s illness!”
Li Wu wasn’t the least bit worried upon hearing Li Qian’s words; he was very clear that she needed the job and his money.
Since she had been willing to come to this place, it showed her inclination to sell herself for the money.
Seeing Li Wu’s calm and sure demeanor, as if he had her completely pegged, a hint of confusion flashed in Li Qian’s mind.
“Thank you for your concern, Director Li, but I’ll be leaving now!” Li Qian made up her mind, spoke softly, and turned to leave.
“Stop right there, I’m telling you Li Qian, if you dare leave, I will fire you as soon as I get back!” Li Wu bellowed, grabbing Li Qian’s arm with one hand, flipping her forcefully, and throwing her onto the nearby sofa.

“Fire me if you want, I’ve made up my mind to leave!” Li Qian stood up from the sofa, determined to go, leaving behind a simple statement.
But how could Li Wu just let her leave like that?
“Li Wu, let go of me, I no longer agree to your terms, let me go!” Li Qian was scared; she hadn’t expected Li Wu to actually be forceful and struggled frantically.
“Let you go?
You’re dreaming if you think you’re walking out after you’ve come here!”
Despair filled Li Qian’s heart to the brim; she regretted everything.
Knowing what a bad guy Li Wu was, why had she still agreed to his terms to get money for her mother’s treatment?
This was akin to a lamb entering a wolf’s den, not only had she failed to get the money, but she was also about to ruin herself here!
Suddenly, Li Qian’s mind conjured the image of someone with a mischievous smile always tapping her forehead.
She wondered what Bai Xiaofan was doing now…
Bang!
A loud noise interrupted her thoughts.
Before Li Wu could react, a force came flying at him, kicking him and sending him crashing across the room.
“Xiaofan…
Run…” For a second, Li Qian was stunned, then, as she recognized it was Bai Xiaofan, she hastily grabbed his hand, ready to leave.
“Run for what?
Go and lock the door!” Bai Xiaofan saw Li Qian’s teary eyes, and anger surged within him; he had heard her cries for help as well as Li Wu’s words!
As he spoke, Bai Xiaofan approached Li Wu, who had fallen to the floor, and stepped on his chest.
“Bald Li Wu, you’ve got some nerve, daring to lay a hand on my beautiful teacher!”
Li Qian locked the door and, hearing Bai Xiaofan’s words, turned back and stared at him, her heart uncontrollably thumping.
“Bai…
Bai, it’s a misunderstanding, really!
I didn’t know about you and Teacher Li’s relationship!” Li Wu, feeling as though his spine was shattered, looked up at Bai Xiaofan standing over him and spoke with tears in his eyes.
“A misunderstanding?
You think you can resolve this by calling it a misunderstanding?
You’re oversimplifying things!” Bai Xiaofan spat on Li Wu’s face and took Li Qian’s hand.
“Beautiful teacher, how shall we punish him?
It’s your call—do we take one of his arms or one of his legs?”
An arm?
A leg?
Li Wu was utterly panicked.
What’s this about suddenly crippling him?
“Bai, I was wrong, I truly didn’t understand your relationship with Teacher Li.
Please, have mercy, spare me…” Li Wu crawled up from the ground, kowtowing to Bai Xiaofan while continuously begging for mercy.
