Chapter 308 Painful Past (15)

Wu Yanghui, hearing the teacher approaching, dared not continue his assault and, as though afraid of being caught, ran out of the alley without looking back.

Ji Tingyang lay on the ground, his face pale as paper with numerous large and small bruises marring his face, making him look utterly wretched.

He didn't pay attention to the injuries on his body but looked first at his tightly clenched right hand.

Although the bills in his grip were crumpled and torn, he was relieved and happy that he had managed to hold onto the money.

Ji Tingyang used the wall to help himself stand, piercing pain spreading instantly from his chest. He gritted his teeth and it took a while before he could stand up from the ground.

Perhaps because she hadn't seen Ji Tingyang for a long time, the little girl became worried he might be in trouble inside. After hesitating outside the alley for quite some time, she walked in nervously, clutching the corner of her clothes.
