Transmigrated as the fake young master, I'll beat up the scumbags and b*tches - Vol. 1 - Chapter 65 - Nightmare

‘Buying some stationery and fruits should be enough,’ HuMing thought. Ultimately, he could only think of these affordable and functional things. However, he had a hunch that Ye QiuXue might want to purchase a few extras, so he planned to send her the money later.

He put down his phone and continued watching KangXin work on her test papers.

Although KangXin was unfamiliar with some knowledge points, she could still be considered mid-level.

HuMing felt that KangXin had too little time for education. If she had started learning earlier, she could have reached the same level as Ye QiuXue!

KangXin wrote her answers on the test paper but soon stopped and turned to face HuMing and calmly said,

“Young Master, Han ShuYi approached me today.”

“Isn’t that normal?” HuMing arched an eyebrow.

He had been curious about why Han ShuYi hadn’t yet targeted KangXin despite her being the person closest to him in the family.

Moreover, KangXin had not entered into any formal contract with the Han family; she had simply been living with HuMing.

This meant that KangXin was not bound by any constraints and could leave whenever she wanted, which eased some of HuMing’s worries.

HuMing shrugged, seemingly unconcerned.

“I’ve known for a long time that Han ShuYi has bad intentions for me. Furthermore, if he wants to make a move, he must have a valid reason. Not to mention that he’s now pretending to be a gentleman; he can’t break character.”

HuMing’s words left KangXin a bit stunned. However, she quickly nodded in agreement with her Young Master’s view.

Despite Han ShuYi’s generally kind demeanor towards the servants and his high reputation among them, KangXin only disliked him.

Perhaps this was due to the Young Master’s influence. If the Young Master didn’t like him, then neither will she!

KangXin silently affirmed this thought and lowered her head to continue working on her test papers.

Seeing KangXin so focused, HuMing decided not to interrupt her any further. He reached for his phone again, a hint of concern crossing his face as he noticed that Ye QiuXue had not responded to his messages for quite some time.

The president usually responds to him quickly. Why is she so late today?

……

As darkness fell, the sky became enveloped in the night, with intermittent clouds occasionally blocking the moon’s glow.

Ye QiuXue sat quietly on a soft mat, staring vacantly out the window.

She had called out a few times earlier, but there was no response.

The other party seemed to have prepared in advance; otherwise, how could everything be so coincidental?

Ye QiuXue couldn’t think who would do such a thing to her. After all, she had offended many people at school. Enforcing justice often ruffled many feathers!

To set an example, Ye QiuXue had left her phone at home, so she had no way to contact anyone outside.

She lay helplessly on the mat, her stomach growling from hunger.

However, her palm slowly opened to reveal a piece of chocolate.

It was the apology gift HuMing had given her; she didn’t think it would turn out to be useful now.

Ye QiuXue’s lips twitched, but she quickly unwrapped the chocolate and popped it into her mouth.

A wave of sweetness melted in her mouth.

She slowly shut her eyes, losing hope of finding a way out. At most, she would leave in the morning when the door opened, but she would likely become the target of mockery.

Many people were waiting to see her make a fool of herself, and the perpetrator’s intention was probably to make her look bad.

Ye QiuXue sighed tiredly; she disliked such scheming and conflict.

She closed her eyes slowly, feeling the fatigue from her body washing over her.

[Will someone come to save me?]

This thought flashed through Ye QiuXue’s mind, and a certain figure lingered in her mind.

She smiled faintly, unsure why she was still smiling in such a situation.

She did not believe in miracles.

……

Outside the school, an individual stealthily scaled the wall.

If anyone had witnessed this incredible spectacle, they would undoubtedly be astounded to believe that a real Spider-Man existed in this world!

The person landed steadily on the ground and quickly surveyed the surroundings.

Who else could it be besides HuMing?

HuMing was feeling puzzled as he couldn’t get a response from Ye QiuXue. She wasn’t answering his messages, as well as his voice and video calls.

Which is why he sneaked out of the Han family’s villa.

He had also tried to check the floor where Ye QiuXue was staying, but besides the WeChat call he had sent her, the lights were all turned off in the house.

It was only at that moment that HuMing realised that she could still be at the school.

[Could something have happened?]

HuMing frowned deeply and quickened his pace.

The guard at the gate was yawning and did not notice anything unusual. HuMing skilfully navigated around the blind spots of the security cameras and checked each classroom on campus. However, Ye QiuXue was nowhere to be found.

As the night grew darker, the dimly lit corridors presented a challenge in navigating the path ahead.

HuMing pondered, continuously thinking about where Ye QiuXue might be.

[If this isn’t an accident, it means someone is intentionally playing a trick on Ye QiuXue. If so, where would she be?]

For the first time, HuMing felt an inner urgency. Ye QiuXue’s safety was a matter of great concern, and any harm that befell her would deeply trouble HuMing.

After all, she was the person he trusted the most in school!

As he walked through the blind spots of the security cameras, he suddenly stopped, his eyes fixed on the external electrical switch.

Although it was hard to see in the dark, HuMing immediately noticed that the lock on the electrical switch had been forcibly pried open.

The cheap padlock purchased at a convenience store outside the school could be easily broken; it was not if only the key could open it.

HuMing put on gloves and took off the padlock.

All the switches were functioning properly except for the place that was turned off!V/IssịT n0(v)eL/b(i)(n).𝘤𝑜/𝓂 for the b/est novel reading experi/en/ce

Seeing this, HuMing dashed out.

…

Ye QiuXue felt like she was falling. It was as if she was suspended in mid-air, completely drained of any remaining energy.

She felt like she was back in her childhood when her grandmother carried her home from the town clinic when she had a fever.

Her tiny self curled up behind her grandmother’s frail body, shielding her from the cold wind and rain ahead. When she pressed against her grandmother’s back, Ye QiuXue could feel her body’s warmth.

She could also recall her grandmother’s strained voice: “It’s fine, little Xue; Grandma is taking you home.”

Ye QiuXue rested her head on her grandmother’s shoulder, tears flowing down her cheeks.

She missed her grandmother.

“I want to go home…”

She nestled herself, seeking warmth in the embrace of her surroundings.

With no road in sight, she appeared lost in an endless abyss.

“Bang!”

The sound of the door being pushed open echoed, and the early summer evening breeze brushed past her body.

She tried to open her eyes, and to her disbelief, the figure she had thought of really appeared!

Her nightmare, just like that, had ended.
