"Miss Chu..." the principal said, loosening his collar with an awkward smile.
"I really think the students were just horsing around. They’re young men after all. Sometimes they get a little carried away."
Chu Luoshen didn’t respond immediately.
Instead, she calmly pushed her chair back and stood up.
She walked straight toward Yun Wanhe.
Seeing the beautiful teacher approaching him, Yun Wanhe couldn’t help but become excited.
[Woah...]
[Why is she walking over to me?]
[Is she actually going to touch me in front of everyone?]
Her expression twitched ever so slightly.
’What a disgusting little weirdo...’
She silently suppressed the urge to roll her eyes.
Without saying a word, she gently lifted the edge of Yun Wanhe’s school uniform.
Purple bruises and fresh kick marks immediately came into view.
She looked back at the principal.
"As you can clearly see... These injuries aren’t the result of ’horsing around.’"
The room fell silent.
Pan Yu’s expression darkened.
He shot the principal a cold look.
The meaning behind it was obvious.
Handle this!
The principal felt a chill run down his spine.
"A-Alright..." he forced out with a dry laugh.
"I’ll handle everything from here."
He looked toward Chu Luoshen.
"You can go now."
Chu Luoshen calmly let Yun Wanhe’s shirt fall back into place before returning to her desk.
She sat down, folded her hands, and looked directly at the principal.
"I will not leave. Not until this student receives justice."
She had promised Shen Tian she would play her part.
She wasn’t about to back down now.
The principal’s face became increasingly ugly.
’Where did this woman even come from? Who hired someone this stubborn?’
Yun Wanhe quietly watched Chu Luoshen.
His heart unexpectedly softened.
[She’s willing to stand up for me...]
[Even against someone with power...]
[What a truly wonderful woman.]
His expression gradually became gentler.
[I’ve decided.]
[I’ll make her my second wife.]
[From now on... I’ll protect her too.]
Chu Luoshen nearly pinched the bridge of her nose.
’Second wife? Absolutely not. Shen Tian is already my man...’
Seeing the situation slipping further out of his control, Pan Yu finally lost his patience.
He slammed a hand against the wall.
"My father is already on his way!"
He glared at everyone in the room.
"I’d love to hear how you’re going to explain to him that you’re keeping us from our education over something as harmless as friends playing around!"
The principal’s face immediately turned pale.
He knew exactly who Pan Yu’s father was.
Not only was the man one of the school’s biggest financial backers...
He was also the one quietly paying the generous "bonuses" every month to him.
Swallowing nervously, the principal’s attitude changed completely.
He looked at Chu Luoshen.
"You need to leave. Now. This is an order."
Chu Luoshen didn’t even move.
She simply sat there calmly.
Seeing that she had no intention of backing down, the principal clenched his fists so tightly his knuckles turned white.
"...Fine."
He exhaled heavily.
"We’ll wait. Let’s wait for Mr. Pan to arrive."
It wasn’t long before Mr. Pan arrived.
The door swung open.
A middle-aged man in an expensive tailored suit strode inside with an expression dark enough to make the room feel colder.
He had clearly been pulled away from an important meeting.
The moment he entered, his icy gaze landed on the principal.
The principal instinctively stood up.
"Mr. Pan..."
Pan Yu’s eyes immediately lit up.
"Father!"
He hurried over and hugged his father.
"You have to help me!"
"That crazy teacher is trying to stop me from learning!"
Mr. Pan gently patted his son’s shoulder before taking a slow breath to suppress his anger.
"I’d appreciate an explanation."
His eyes slowly shifted toward Chu Luoshen.
To his surprise...
She smiled.
Not only smiled...
She openly smirked.
A vein instantly bulged on Mr. Pan’s forehead.
’Does this woman not know the difference between heaven and earth?’
’She’s an ant.’
’I’m the dragon.’
’Just because she’s beautiful doesn’t mean she can do whatever she wants.’
Chu Luoshen paid no attention to his expression.
She calmly pointed toward Yun Wanhe.
"This student was being bullied by your son. I believe your son should be suspended for several days while the school investigates the incident."
Before Mr. Pan could respond...
Pan Yu immediately shouted,
"Again! I already told everyone!"
"It was horseplay! Just horseplay!"
Mr. Pan calmly removed his glasses and cleaned them with a handkerchief.
Once he finished, he slowly put them back on.
"As you’ve heard... They were simply playing around."
He glanced at the expensive watch on his wrist.
"I don’t have time for this. So I’ll make this simple."
He looked directly at Chu Luoshen.
"You’re fired. You may collect your belongings and leave. Goodbye."
Yun Wanhe’s eyes widened.
"No!"
He instinctively stepped forward.
"This teacher was only doing her job! She was protecting a student! Why fire someone like her?"
Nobody paid him any attention.
Instead...
Pan Yu quietly pinched the back of Yun Wanhe’s arm.
"Ow..."
Yun Wanhe winced.
’Damn it... I’m still far too weak. That has to change...’
Seeing Mr. Pan had already made his decision, the principal’s confidence instantly returned.
He puffed out his chest.
"Well, you heard Mr. Pan! Pack your desk and get the hell out of my school! Immediately!"
Mr. Pan gave a satisfied nod.
"Now that this pointless matter has been settled... I’ll be taking my leave."
He turned toward the door.
It was then...
A soft giggle echoed through the office.
"Hehe... Actually... You’re not going anywhere."
Everyone turned.
Chu Luoshen was holding up her phone.
The screen showed an active video call.
Sitting comfortably in a luxurious office chair on the other end...
Was Shen Tian.
He wore a relaxed smile while slowly spinning a pen between his fingers.
The instant Mr. Pan recognized him...
His face drained of all color.
"T-The Young Master of the Shen Family?!"
He immediately spun back around.
"Young Master Shen! What an honor to—"
Before he could finish...
Shen Tian casually raised a finger to his lips.
"Shhh..."
Mr. Pan immediately fell silent.
The domineering attitude he had displayed only moments ago vanished completely.
He now looked like a frightened kitten standing before a tiger.
Shen Tian’s expression turned cold.
"As someone who claims to respect education and the hardworking people of China... you actually tried to use your wealth and influence to force an innocent teacher out of her job?"
His voice was calm.
Yet every word carried immense pressure.
Mr. Pan hurriedly opened his mouth, wanting to explain himself.
"Young Master Shen, I—"
Bang!
Shen Tian slammed his hand onto his desk.
"Don’t! Don’t give me excuses."
His eyes narrowed.
"One more word, and I’ll personally see to it that every one of your companies is investigated."
A faint smile appeared on his lips.
"After all... If I remember correctly... Your businesses already have quite a few illegal issues that still haven’t been dealt with."
Mr. Pan’s face instantly turned deathly pale.
Cold sweat poured down his forehead.
His legs nearly gave out beneath him.
He slowly lowered his head.
"...I’m sorry, Young Master Shen. I acted disgracefully. I’ve embarrassed myself... and failed to uphold the standards expected of me."
Beside him, Pan Yu stood frozen.
He quietly took two steps backward.
For the first time in his life...
He had seen his usually invincible father bow his head to someone else.
He didn’t even dare look Shen Tian in the eye.
Yun Wanhe frowned.
For some reason...
He instinctively disliked the man on the phone.
And seeing Chu Luoshen holding the phone made him unexpectedly jealous.
[Hopefully, there’s nothing going on between those two...]
Chu Luoshen heard every word.
She almost burst out laughing.
’If he found out Shen Tian and I are already together... His expression would probably be priceless.’
She managed to keep a straight face, though the corners of her lips twitched slightly.
Mr. Pan finally spoke again.
"...Young Master Shen. Is there anything I can do to make this right?"
Shen Tian leaned back in his chair and pretended to think for a few seconds.
Then he smiled.
"There is."
He raised a finger.
"First, kneel and apologize to Miss Chu. A sincere apology. Second... The principal is fired. He’s no longer fit to run a school. And third..."
His gaze shifted toward Pan Yu.
"I don’t want your son attending this school anymore."
The smile on Shen Tian’s face never faded.
"But whether that’s a transfer... Or something more permanent... I’ll leave that decision to you."
Mr. Pan gave a slow nod.
"...I understand."
Without another word, he walked over to Chu Luoshen.
He dropped to his knees.
Bang!
His forehead struck the floor as he kowtowed deeply.
"I am truly sorry..."
His voice trembled with remorse.
"I almost committed such a selfish and unforgivable act. I allowed my status and wealth to blind me. I sincerely beg for your forgiveness."
He clenched his fists against the floor.
"I swear upon my family name that neither I nor my son will ever bother you again. My son will never attend this school again."
Silence...
Chu Luoshen didn’t respond...
In a fit of panic, Mr. Pan blurted out,
"I’ll send him to Africa to work in the mines! I swear it!"
Pan Yu blinked.
"...Huh?"
He pointed to himself.
"I’m going to Africa!?"
