Chapter 750: Learning a Lesson

After asking several male students, they finally arrived at room 402 on the 4th floor.

Luo Wenjie looked at Chen Fan, asking if they should go in.

Chen Fan nodded.

Just as Luo Wenjie was about to push the door open, it opened, and a shirtless male student carrying a washbasin was about to come out.

Seeing Chen Fan and the others standing outside the door, this student was visibly startled.

"Who... are you looking for?"

"Is Zhang Xingwei living in this dorm?"

The student's gaze swept cautiously over their faces.

"You don't seem to be students, do you?"

"There's no one called Zhang Xingwei in our dorm. You've got the wrong place."

Luo Wenjie smiled, reaching out to push the student aside, forcing him back into the room.

"Hey, you..."

The student shouted, but Chen Fan and the others had already filed into the room.

It was a 6-person dorm room. Inside, 4 shirtless male students were originally playing games on their computers.

Suddenly seeing people barging in, all the students curiously looked up.

"Who are you?"

"Old Fourth, who are these people?"

The student pushed in by Luo Wenjie said angrily, "I don't know them at all, they just barged in."

Hearing this, all 4 students in the room stood up, looking warily at Chen Fan and his group.

"Who are you looking for?"

Luo Wenjie raised his hand with a smile.

"Don't panic. Who's Zhang Xingwei?"

This question made the students' expressions visibly falter, with someone instinctively looking up at the upper bunk.

Chen Fan's gaze followed to the upper bunk, only then noticing that someone was lying there.

However, this guy was covered with a blanket, seemingly pretending to be asleep.

Luo Wenjie turned to look at Chen Fan, who nodded.

So Luo Wenjie stepped forward and knocked on the bed frame.

"Are you Zhang Xingwei?"

"Hey, who are you guys anyway?"

"Who let you in?"

The other students in the dorm got agitated, stepping forward to block Luo Wenjie.

"They clearly aren't students from our school."

"Students from another school? Who let you in?"

"I'm warning you, leave now, or don't blame us for getting nasty."

"Hmph. You've come to cause trouble in our sports college, don't you know our sports college has no shortage of male students?"

This statement amused Chen Fan's group.

Guo Shuai turned his head to look behind him.

One of his subordinates immediately understood, closing the dorm room door and standing guard.

Luo Wenjie smiled and said, "Not bad. You guys are quite loyal to each other. I admire that."

"When I was in college, my dorm mates were also very close."

"So, I've decided not to cause trouble for you guys."

Luo Wenjie knocked on the bed again.

"Brother, stop pretending to sleep. If you're a man, come down. Don't bring trouble to your dorm mates."

These words left the dorm students looking at each other, unsure of what to do.

Suddenly, Zhang Xingwei sat up straight on the upper bunk, his gaze sweeping across the people in the room before he threw off the blanket and climbed down.

"I'm Zhang Xingwei. Who are you?"

Chen Fan stepped forward, "I'm Gao Xiaoxi's brother-in-law."

Zhang Xingwei's expression froze, and he nodded with a bitter smile.

"I understand now."

"So you know why we're looking for you?"

Zhang Xingwei nodded, "I do."

He stood there, head lowered, not daring to meet Chen Fan's eyes.

"Very good," Chen Fan said, looking at him. "Answer a few questions for me."

"Was it you who took Gao Xiaoxi to the KTV?"

Zhang Xingwei kept his head down, silent.

"Speak!" Chen Fan shouted sternly, startling the other students in the room.

Zhang Xingwei hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"It was me."

"When those people in the private room demanded she inhale that laughing gas, did you try to stop them?"

Hearing this, all the students in the room were stunned, looking at each other before turning their gazes to Zhang Xingwei.

This time, Zhang Xingwei was silent for longer before finally speaking.

"I... I tried to plead with them at the time, but..."

Chen Fan interrupted him: "I'm asking if you physically tried to protect her?"

Zhang Xingwei hesitated, then spoke.

"No."

"Alright, answer one more question."

"When those guys tried to harass her later, did you protect her?"

"N...No."

"When she jumped from the building, did you protect her?"

"No!"

After this exchange, the dorm room fell so silent you could hear a pin drop.

The roommates stared at Zhang Xingwei in disbelief.

They didn't know what had happened, but just hearing these questions, they could piece together a rough idea of the events.

They all looked at Zhang Xingwei, completely unable to believe it.

Chen Fan nodded.

"At least you're honest. Given your honesty, you'll suffer a bit less today."

Hearing this, Zhang Xingwei quickly said, "I... I was just scared at the time. There were too many of them, I didn't dare to provoke them..."

"And one of those guys had a powerful background, I... I couldn't mess with them at all."

"Those aren't excuses," Chen Fan said, his face cold and expressionless as he stared at Zhang Xingwei.

"Let me ask you, wasn't she your girlfriend?"

"Aren't you a man?"

"In that situation, shouldn't you have protected her?"

"But what did you do? You were a coward, pissed yourself in fear, and let your girlfriend be bullied to the point of jumping off a building. Then you came back to school like nothing happened and hid under your blanket like an ostrich?"

Chen Fan's words left Zhang Xingwei feeling ashamed and pale-faced.

Especially in front of his dorm mates, he felt he had lost all face.

He staggered back a step and sat down on the edge of the lower bunk.

"I... I was wrong. I was scared at the time..."

Chen Fan couldn't be bothered to listen to his excuses and asked directly, "Last question, do you think you deserve the lesson we're about to teach you today?"

Zhang Xingwei kept his head down, his voice a bit hoarse.

"I... I was wrong."

"I deserve to be beaten by you guys."

"Guys, don't get involved. This is between me and them."

The other roommates exchanged glances and silently stepped back.

"Go ahead and hit me. I won't fight back."

Chen Fan smiled.

"Beating you would dirty my hands."

"Xiaoxi broke a leg when she jumped. Today, I'll cripple one of your legs. Consider it a lesson learned."

Hearing this, Zhang Xingwei's body trembled. The roommates were also startled.

Luo Wenjie turned and walked to the door, retrieving a mop from behind it. He kicked off the mop head, leaving just the wooden handle.

He walked back, carrying the half-length of wood.

Seeing that these guys were actually serious, the dorm students were terrified.

"You..."

"Even if Old Zhang was wrong, you should report it to the police, not take matters into your own hands, right?"

"Y-yeah. What you're doing..."

Guo Shuai led two subordinates to block these students.

"I advise you not to interfere."

As the two sides were pushing and shoving, Luo Wenjie had already reached Zhang Xingwei.

He patted Zhang Xingwei's shoulder.

"Don't worry. It'll be quick."

"Consider this a lesson. Next time you date, learn how to be a real man first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Wenjie's wooden stick came crashing down on Zhang Xingwei's lower leg.

"Ah..."
