In the Grand View Garden, Baoyu and a group of his friends were playing. Once, they encountered Xue Pan and his gang. Xue Pan and others, taking advantage of their large numbers, bullied Baoyu's friend Qin Zhong. Although Baoyu was angry, he could not cope with the numerous Xue Pan and others for a while. At this time, Jia Rui happened to pass by and, seeing this situation, immediately stepped forward to stop them and ordered Xue Pan and others to apologize to Qin Zhong. Xue Pan and his group saw that Jia Rui's status was not low, and Baoyu and his friends were also supporting him. Therefore, Xue Pan and others obeyed and apologized to Qin Zhong, so the storm subsided.
