However, the commotion this time seemed to be a bit too much, not only causing the boys in school to pursue Ruby Gregory tirelessly, but also attracting a gang from outside the school.

During those years, Hong Kong’s young thugs were trendy, and many youths, regardless of whether they had dropped out of school or not, followed the trend with a sense of self-righteousness and ambitions, stepping into the “underworld” of irregular occupations.

Perhaps some of the unskilled students in the school had gotten involved with the outside gang, and word got out about the breathtakingly beautiful female student whose name matched her appearance.

Every gang involved in the underworld had a leader, and the favorite thing for these leaders to do was to parade around with different fancy ladies by their side, showing off their self-perceived high social status.

So, when the leader heard about Ruby Gregory’s beauty, he rode a motorbike, trailed by black smoke, to her high school, with a cigarette in his mouth and a group of his sidekicks guarding the school gate. After witnessing Ruby Gregory’s stunning looks, he couldn’t help but praise her, thinking that if he could make her his girlfriend, he would definitely gain face wherever he went.

Thus, the leader started to appear frequently at the school gate from that day on.

Being part of the underworld, his audacity was quite big and he didn’t have the restraint of the good students in school. After seeing Ruby Gregory only twice, he had his minions stop her and hand her a note with his phone number on it.

The leader eagerly waited for a whole week, but he never received a call from Ruby Gregory. In the end, he tried his best to get her phone number from someone else and personally called her himself.

Ruby Gregory answered, realizing it was someone she didn’t know, she hung up without hesitation. The leader called back persistently, and Ruby hung up every time, until she got annoyed and simply blocked his number.

Ruby Gregory had no idea that her seemingly normal actions were seen as “tough” by the leader, hurting his “majesty.”

So, the offended leader sent his minions to issue a wanted threat to Ruby Gregory, telling her to proactively call him back within two days or face the consequences.

With a smile on her face, Ruby Gregory secretly found it ridiculous, as if she was acting in a TV show. She shrugged off the warning, flipped her long hair, walked elegantly in her big-toe shoes into the campus, and completely put that matter out of her mind.

It wasn’t until two days later, when Ruby Gregory went to the newsstand across the street from her school to buy the Rayli Magazine, that she was surrounded by a group of riffraff boys and remembered the warning from two days ago.

Her first thought was to run back to the school, but she was surrounded by the group of people.

“Ruby Gregory, right?”

“You’re pretty arrogant, huh? Our leader’s been trying to get your attention so many times, but you keep ignoring him?”

“Beautiful, let’s go, our leader has come to pick you up. Come have some fun with him…”

At that time, it was the afternoon rush hour for school, and many students were riding their bikes to school. Ruby Gregory was a new sensation at the school, and everyone knew her by then. So, in less than ten minutes, the news that Ruby Gregory was being surrounded by a group of boys at the school gate spread to Senior Class 1.
