F*ck! After contacting Jiang Xiaoqing on the phone, Zhao Yu couldn’t help but sweat. It seemed the hexagram’s power was not to be underestimated. Even something as simple as meeting his goddaughter could cause a huge fuss.
“God-dad! Why are you here?” Jiang Xiaoqing asked, pushing her bicycle as she exited a small alley outside of her school. Although he had called in advance, she was still surprised.
“Why am I here?!” Zhao Yu could not care less about answering and pointed straight at Xiaoqing’s damaged bicycle pedal and torn trousers. “Why not tell me what exactly happened to you instead?”
“Uhm, this…?” Xiaoqing pouted and glanced at the alley unnaturally.
“Don’t tell me you were knocked over by a car?” Zhao Yu held on to the girl’s shoulders as he asked. “I, your god-dad, have really sharp eyes. Quick, tell me which b*stard did this to you!”
“You… you’re amazing! How did you know I didn’t fall on my own?” Xiaoqing asked, surprised.
“Your eyes sold you out! Quick, tell me what happened!” Zhao Yu answered.
“It’s not a big deal…” Xiaoqing said. “It was just some squabble between the students. Don’t worry, I’ll tell the teachers and let them handle it! That’ll probably be better.”
“Da*mn it, who dares to bully my goddaughter? Do they want to die?” Zhao Yu said. He stormed towards the school, seething with anger. “Let’s go, I will accompany you to find your teacher, no, the principal! If the principal doesn’t settle this then I’m escalating it to the ministry!”
There were security guards at the school entrance and the moment they saw Zhao Yu marching towards the gates they rushed forward to stop him. Zhao Yu pushed them away and the security guards hit the wall, scaring the students standing off to the side.
“Dad, god-dad! I beg you!” Xiaoqing grabbed on to Zhao Yu. “It’s really okay, it’s just a small issue between us. If you kick up a fuss now then no one will dare be my friend in the future!”
Uhm, that’s true… Zhao Yu thought. As a detective, it wasn’t his place to interfere with student affairs. “Fine, then tell me the name of the person who bullied you!” Zhao Yu said.
“I don’t know, they’re all seniors! And, they, uhm…” Xiaoqing quivered. Zhao Yu saw three tall girls pushing their bikes and staring intently at him and Xiaoqing. They had come from the alley.
“Wow, this straight-A student works fast!” The tallest girl said scornfully. “You’ve already tattled to your parents? Are you going to tell the teacher later? Well, that’s no surprise. You’re our school’s panda, after all, an endangered species who needs protection!”
“Hehehe, hey uncle! Don’t listen to what she told you. We were just cycling and she hit us, she deserved it, really!” Said another girl.
Jiang Xiaoqing shook her head helplessly. “I’m just a freshman, how could I dare to make trouble with bullies?”
“Uncle!” The tallest girl said scornfully. “You see that attitude? After offending us, not only is she not apologizing, but she still dares to be arrogant. How did you teach her growing up?” All three girls sneered.
“Alright, here’s my solution,” Zhao Yu said, almost speechless. “Let’s do this, you guys square off one more time!”
“What? Are you crazy?” The tallest girl said, giving Zhao Yu a look. “Hey, straight A’s dad, are you some gangster?”
“I like to settle things this way. Why don’t we all go back to the alley and solve this? The three of you will fight with my Xiaoqing. If she wins, you will never bully her again, okay?” Zhao Yu said. “Rest assured, I will not get involved, I’ll wait here!”
“This…” The three girls were in shock.
“God-dad, are you crazy?” Xiaoqing asked, rolling her eyes.
“Don’t worry!” Zhao Yu said. “Women should be able to fight their own battles. After you beat them once, they’ll never bully you again! You just have to remember the fighting techniques I taught you and punch them hard!”
“God-dad, when did you ever teach me?” Xiaoqing frowned.
“Pft! God-dad? What an odd pair!” The tallest girl said. All three girls laughed.
“Don’t you worry about whether or not I’m odd,” Zhao Yu said. “If you don’t fight today, then the next time you see my daughter you can call her your god-mum instead!”
“F*ck!” The tallest girl was now agitated and kicked her bicycle aside, walking up to Xiaoqing. “Alright then, come on! You asked for it, so you better be ready for the consequences!”
“Lame…” Xiaoqing was about to leave when she was stopped by Zhao Yu.
“No problem, we will take responsibility, but you guys better do so too!” Zhao Yu pushed Xiaoqing into the alley.
“Ha, idiot! You guys don’t know that I’m a Taekwondo black belt!” the girl said.
Zhao Yu had placed an Energy Booster into Xiaoqing’s body and while doing so, had told her telepathically that it didn’t matter what belt she was! A few minutes later, a scream could be heard from the alley. Then a second, and a third scream followed. After about four or five, the three girls fled, running out one by one, each with dirty clothes and a swollen face. Jiang Xiaoqing walked out of the alley, staring at her hands in awe.
“That can’t be, I didn’t even put in any effort! God… god-dad!” She grabbed onto Zhao Yu. “How is this possible? I hit them until they cried! This time the teachers will definitely call their parents…”
“Don’t worry!” Zhao Yu said, patting his chest. “With me around, they won’t just cry, they’ll wet themselves with fear! Remember this, we are honest people, but that doesn’t mean we should allow ourselves to be bullied! Do unto others what they do to you! Remember, girls must be strong…”
