Li Fugui immediately let out an agonizing wail of pain as cold sweat poured down his forehead.
Everyone was stunned by the scene.
Gu Chen was also breaking into a cold sweat.
He hadn’t expected Li Yanqiu to strike so suddenly, and that kick was incredibly brutal!
“Bullying my student! Do you really think our Class Five is an easy target?!”
Li Yanqiu’s voice was cold as she spoke.
Gu Chen wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but he felt as if he saw a flicker of murderous intent in her eyes!
The pressure was overwhelming.
Even he couldn’t help but swallow hard, his back drenched in cold sweat.
Li Fugui was now powerless to resist.
The way his arm was bent, it looked like it could spin like an electric fan.
He was completely defeated.
He had no choice but to submit.
He couldn’t win an argument, and his physical strength — the only thing he could usually rely on to dominate others — had failed him!
‘Damn it! His strength couldn’t even break my defense before, so how did he get like this after only two days? It’s as if he’s on drugs!’
“The Vice Principal is here!”
At that moment, the balding Vice Principal rushed to the Rooftop Entrance, accompanied by several PE teachers.
It seemed the situation with Li Fugui had reached the school’s high-level administration very quickly.
Without bothering to understand the situation, he immediately pointed a finger at the Homeroom Teacher and began shouting, “Teacher Li, look at your Class Five! Look at the trouble you’ve caused me!!!”
“Vice Principal, it was clearly Li Fugui who came looking for trouble with Gu Chen first!”
Tang Ziya said from the side, her voice filled with dissatisfaction.
She was furious that he would place blame without even asking what had happened, so she stepped forward to speak up for justice.
“And you! Little girl, I haven’t settled the score with you for organizing that School Strike last time.”
Finding his authority challenged by someone talking back, the Vice Principal immediately pulled a long, serious face.
“Vice Principal, our Class Five has always followed the rules. Are we supposed to just endure it when someone bullies us? Have you ever seen a student bring a knife to a fight?!”
Li Yanqiu walked over to where the knife had fallen, bent down to pick it up, and spoke calmly as she flicked the blade.
The Vice Principal and the teachers behind him took a step back in fear.
They hadn’t expected things to be this serious, and they immediately began exchanging uneasy glances.
“First, a pervert has been appearing at the Artificial Lake since the end of last semester. Many students must have reported this issue, yet the school has ignored it. Second, multiple cases of Campus Bullying have occurred within these walls. Third, there was an attempted stabbing. If I hadn’t stepped in, my student would have been stabbed, and his life might have been in serious danger. If these three points get out, I’m afraid our chances of being selected as a Model School this year will vanish, wouldn’t they?”
“You!!!”
The Vice Principal’s face turned beet red, and he was left speechless.
Everything Li Yanqiu said was correct; if a school was found to have poor management, it would be thoroughly investigated by higher authorities.
That would bring even more trouble to the school.
Furthermore, Chengnan High School had been selected as a Model School for over a dozen consecutive years.
If the streak broke this year, the reputation of the number one high school wouldn’t be preserved.
“Could you all… please… stop arguing… and call an ambulance for me?”
Li Fugui weakly interrupted their conversation.
As soon as he finished speaking, he fell to the ground with a thud, completely unconscious.
“Holy crap!”
“Is he dead?”
“Gu Chen really deserves the title of School Bully! I used to think he might have won by luck, but now… damn, he’s the real deal!”
The surrounding students immediately began to gossip.
“What are you looking at? The school isn’t a place for your games! Everyone, get back to class immediately! If I catch anyone staying behind, they’ll all be suspended!”
Seeing the situation, the Vice Principal quickly exerted his authority, causing the crowd to disperse.
“Gu Chen, take the Class Monitor and the others back to the classroom. I’ll handle things here.”
Li Yanqiu signaled that she could manage the situation, nodding as she spoke.
“Alright, I understand,” Gu Chen responded.
The crisis had been averted.
Staying here would only lead to more trouble from the school leadership, so it was better to take this chance to slip away.
He didn’t get involved in what happened afterward.
He only heard from others that the school had called the police and an ambulance, causing quite a stir.
By midday, the official notice was released.
Because Li Fugui had seriously violated school rules by bringing a knife onto campus with the intent to harm others, his actions were deemed extremely malicious.
After deliberation by the school committee, he was officially expelled!
From then on, he would never be allowed to step foot in the school again.
Upon hearing the news, the school erupted in celebration.
For once, the students were actually praising the Vice Principal and the other school leaders.
The girls, in particular, no longer had to worry about their undergarments being stolen.
Some were even moved to tears of joy.
If the other two “pests” could be expelled as well, the students would probably build a shrine to the school leaders!
—
‘Sigh, you reap what you sow.’
During the break, Gu Chen sighed as he looked at the notice posted by the school.
However, he was secretly happy.
As long as that guy was expelled, the only person who knew his secret about being a girl was taken care of.
“Guo Ming, do you have any snacks left? Give me a bag.”
Gu Chen was in a great mood, and his appetite had returned.
“Huh? Hey, did someone steal your soul?”
Guo Ming had been sitting there with his head hanging, lost in thought.
He didn’t react until the second time Gu Chen spoke.
A smile quickly spread across his face.
“Big Brother, what’s up?”
“You brat, why are you acting so serious? Give me some chips!”
“Coming right up!”
Guo Ming hurriedly pulled a bag of snacks from his desk.
Besides his love for drawing manga, he was a total glutton.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have reached his current size.
“Big Brother, why do you think Li Fugui was so obsessed with spreading those rumors about you being a girl? Couldn’t he have made up something more believable?”
“Uh… who knows.”
Gu Chen stopped opening the package and paused for a moment, not wanting to discuss the topic.
“Speaking of which, I’ve noticed something. Big Brother, I didn’t see you at the public showers at all last week. Every time you went to wash up, it was after the lights were already out, and you stayed for a long time. That doesn’t seem like you.”
Perhaps it was Li Fugui’s desperate actions before being subdued that made Guo Ming associate them with Gu Chen’s strange behavior from the previous week.
“Are you looking for a fight?! If you say another word, I’ll kill you!”
Gu Chen’s hair practically stood on end.
He raised his fist and bared his teeth threateningly.
“I’m sorry! I won’t ask again!”
Terrified, Guo Ming clutched his head and begged for mercy.
“Hmph!”
Gu Chen remained outwardly calm, but the sense of crisis in his heart grew stronger.
Many things became inconvenient after turning into a girl.
He could fool others, but it wasn’t so easy with Guo Ming, who shared his Dormitory.
The guy had strong instincts, and as time went on, the truth was bound to be exposed sooner or later.
‘This won’t work. I have to find a way to solve this.’
Gu Chen lost his appetite and threw the snacks back.
He thought about kicking Guo Ming out so he could live alone, which would be much safer.
But on second thought, that still wasn’t ideal.
It was still a Boys’ Dormitory, which meant there would always be safety risks.
Besides, showering was a major problem.
He needed an absolute private space.
