Outside the library, Miao Xiaoxia, barred by the caution tape, stared anxiously at the building and asked the nearby police officer, "Hello, what exactly happened inside? My friend is in there, and I'm very worried."

"Step back! Nothing to report, if your friend is inside, please wait patiently." The officer's words made the already beautiful Miao Xiaoxia even more uneasy.

Just then, several young men approached, the leader being a handsome man about 178 cm tall. He walked over with a look of surprise and greeted, "Hey, Miao Xiaoxia, I didn't expect it to really be you!"

Miao Xiaoxia was taken aback, "Ren Kangning, you're also studying at Medical University?"

The handsome young man replied with exceptionally bright eyes, "Yes, I'm here too, but I remember you said you wanted to go to a normal university?"

Miao Xiaoxia smiled and said, "I changed my mind, I think Medical University suits me better."

The man laughed, "You really haven't changed, still doing whatever you think, but I must admit you're amazing. Now, everyone in the college says you are the most beautiful freshman this year."

Miao Xiaoxia raised her eyebrows and smiled, "That's just them talking nonsense. There are many beautiful women at Medical University."

Upon hearing this, the man's friends interjected.

"Miao Xiaoxia, you are much prettier than in the videos."

"Yeah, let's all be friends."

"I really didn't expect it, Ren Kangning really wasn't boasting; he actually knows you."

In the midst of everyone's noisy voices, Miao Xiaoxia was slightly displeased because several friends of Ren Kangning were staring at her intently, making her very uncomfortable.

Seeing that Miao Xiaoxia seemed somewhat unhappy, the handsome young man quickly spoke, "Xiaoxia, what are you doing here?"

His question made Miao Xiaoxia immediately tense up, and she spoke with some urgency, "My friend is inside and hasn't come out yet, and I don't know what the situation is like."

"A guy?" The handsome young man looked slightly displeased, then said, "Xiaoxia, when we were in senior high, I told you to be my girlfriend, and you said no relationships before university. Now we're both at Medical University, I think you no longer have a reason to refuse."

Miao Xiaoxia frowned, "I now have someone I like."

The handsome young man immediately looked unhappy, "Xiaoxia, don't think just because you're the most beautiful freshman that you're so great. My mom can shut down your family's store with just one word. My dad just bought me a new sports car today for over a million; I'll take you out to the city tonight."

"I have someone I like," Miao Xiaoxia repeated, then seemingly feeling her tone was a bit off, she softened her voice and said, "I still need to wait here for news about my friend, you should go ahead."

Upon hearing this, the handsome young man looked arrogantly at the policemen near the caution tape, walked over, and haughtily said, "Hello, my dad is Director Ren Guogang from your University City division, could you please tell me what's going on inside?"

The officer at the caution tape looked at him for a full thirty seconds and coldly said, "Step back! Nothing to report, if your friend is inside, please wait patiently."

At this, the handsome Ren Kangning grew impatient, "Hey, you're pushing it. Do you believe I'll have your uniform stripped off later?"

The officer glared angrily, and just then an older policeman came over, patted the officer, and then smiled, "The son of Director Ren, it wouldn't normally hurt to ask about this, but this case is a bit special. It's not under the jurisdiction of the sub-bureau. Even if your father came, there'd still be nothing to report."

Upon hearing this, the handsome Ren Kangning became enraged, "Fine, you'll see, just you wait."

After saying this, Ren Kangning glared angrily at Miao Xiaoxia and snapped, "Listen carefully, Miao Xiaoxia, I know there's rumors in the school that you and Shen Qiang have been getting a bit close. I hope that isn't true, and even if it is, you better break it off with him immediately."

"I'm not just scaring you. Listen well: get ready tonight and come to the city with me. If you stand me up, I'll ask my mom to shut down your family's shop tomorrow, got it?"

The young men beside him immediately seemed impressed.

"Ren is impressive; talking to a pretty girl, it's like he's training a police dog."

"Absolutely incredible, Ren, you should be gentler tonight, ever heard of 'Lin Xiang cherishes the jade'?"

In the midst of the lewd laughter of the people around him, the young and handsome Ren Kangning had a triumphant look in his eyes.

"I won't go with you, and, this is the last time I'm telling you, I already have someone I like."

Hearing Miao Xiaoxia's words, Ren Kangning exploded, "Is it Shen Qiang? He's nothing, let me tell you Miao Xiaoxia, what I say, I can make happen. If you dare not accompany me tonight, your family's shop won't need to open tomorrow."

Miao Xiaoxia was so angry that her chest heaved.

Just then, a few men beside Ren Kangning lit up.

"Young Master Ren, look, Shen Qiang is coming."

"Where is he, where is he, just now coming out of the library."

The young and handsome Ren Kangning, upon seeing Shen Qiang, revealed a cold smile.

"Just a guy who can play basketball, watch, once he steps out of the cordon, I'll show him how to behave."

"Young Master Ren is awesome!"

Hearing this, Miao Xiaoxia panicked, "Ren Kangning, don't go too far!"

"This is going too far?" Ren Kangning scoffed, "Just be a good girl and go out with me tonight, there won't be any issues. But if you dare not to, I'll show you what going too far really means!"

"Here he comes, Young Master! Shen Qiang is alone. If he dares defy us, we'll kick him."

With the reminder from the man beside him, Ren Kangning swaggered over to the edge of the cordon, positioning himself to teach Shen Qiang a lesson.

Just as Miao Xiaoxia was anxiously unsure of what to do,

she saw the officer who had earlier sternly told her and Ren Kangning to step back snapped to attention as Shen Qiang passed by him.

Immediately, he puffed out his chest, raised his head, and saluted without diverting his eyes, his movements impeccably standard.

Shen Qiang recognized at a glance that this officer was the same one who had rushed up to the fifth floor earlier.

Smiling, Shen Qiang nodded at him, then ducked under the cordon. The officer watched Shen Qiang's departing back with eyes filled with excitement.

Seeing this scene, Miao Xiaoxia, Ren Kangning, and several young men around them were instantly dumbstruck.

"Young Master Ren, I feel like something is not quite right here,"

said someone following Ren Kangning in a hushed tone.

"Shut up," someone commanded.

Now approaching the group, Shen Qiang smiled at Miao Xiaoxia, "Kept you waiting, huh?"

Miao Xiaoxia was startled, then hurriedly nodded, "Yes, a bit anxious." She then grabbed Shen Qiang's hand and headed out, saying, "Let's hurry, we're going to see my cousin."

"Hold on."

But instead of moving, she found herself pulled back into Shen Qiang's arms.

Then, the astounded Miao Xiaoxia heard Shen Qiang say with a hint of amusement, "I heard someone mention kicking me when I was coming over? Who said that? Step forward, don't worry, I won't hit you."
