“It is a pity that Lily refused to come with me.”
“Never mind, Lily’s situation is special.” The four girls went back to eat.
On the other side, however, Chen Chao looked extremely unhappy. At this moment his eyes were practically red with rage.
“Luo Chen!” Chen Chao said through gritted teeth.
Sun Jianguo also hung his head in dejection.
The two of them, covered in bits of food scraps on their heads, looked utterly dishevelled. What had just happened spread quickly and soon reached the ears of some teachers.
All along the way people pointed and whispered about them.
“That conman, unbelievable, what a disgrace.”
“Exactly, went to the canteen acting like a big shot, then could not even pay up. Total humiliation.”
“I just came from over there. This guy swore up and down that as long as Teacher Luo dared to pay, he would pay too. In the end, damn it, he backed out. What kind of rubbish is that?”
Such curses naturally reached the ears of Chen Chao and Sun Jianguo. Their steps unconsciously quickened.
When they reached the office and closed the door, Chen Chao kicked over a table in fury.
“I cannot swallow this!”
“Old Sun, think of something. We cannot go on like this. It is too suffocating.” Chen Chao was practically steaming with anger.
Sun Jianguo also felt this incident was far too humiliating. Moreover, Luo Chen was clearly gaining the upper hand more and more.
This was only his second day here, yet he had already made them suffer two major setbacks!
If things continued this way, sooner or later the two of them would be finished!
“How about we target someone from Class Three?” Sun Jianguo suddenly saw a glimmer of an idea.
“What do you mean?” Chen Chao asked with a dark face.
“Every student in Class Three has problems. I say we directly catch one of them and force that Luo guy’s hand!” Sun Jianguo suddenly laughed, now planning to act against a student.
“Which one should we catch then?” Chen Chao asked.
“We dare not touch most of them. How about we catch Zhou Lili? Is she not the big sister of the Tulip group? She collects protection money from the girls’ dormitory every evening. Let us go catch her!” Sun Jianguo suggested.
“Good, excellent idea. We did not dare touch her before, but things are different now. We catch her, and without notifying her parents, we call Luo Chen over. I want to see how he handles it.” Chen Chao clapped his hands in approval.
“Exactly. Is he not the form teacher of Class Three? When one of his students commits something like this, what can he do?” Sun Jianguo also felt his idea was brilliant.
“Moreover, Zhou Lili’s family background is special and her personality is quite eccentric and withdrawn. He will not be able to do anything to her!”
“Perfect plan. We act tonight!” The two quickly settled on their scheme to set Luo Chen up.
After dinner came evening self-study. Near the end of self-study, Han Xiu proudly waved his phone around.
“Heh heh, it is done. My big brother will bring people over soon.” Han Xiu said to Liu Ziwen.
“By the way, Ziwen, they cannot get into the school. How am I supposed to trick him out later?” Han Xiu frowned.
“Are you stupid? Here is an idea. Later go to the school gate and cause some trouble. Naturally someone will call him and tell him to come out.” Liu Ziwen said.
“And this way you can completely distance yourself from it.” Liu Ziwen instantly came up with a solid plan.
“Heh heh, Ziwen you really are clever. That one hundred and eighty IQ is no joke!” Han Xiu laughed happily, then slipped out through the back door before class even ended.
Soon evening self-study finished.
Those who could go home went home, those who lived in dorms returned to their dorms.
Only a few nearby students could actually go home.
At that moment Luo Chen’s phone rang.
“Teacher Luo, one of your students is causing trouble outside. You should go take a look.” It was Teacher Zhou calling.
“All right, I will go right away.” Luo Chen frowned but still went.
He crossed the sports field and reached the guard post. Han Xiu was being scolded by Sun Jianguo. But the moment Sun Jianguo saw Luo Chen arrive, he turned his attack toward him.
“Teacher Luo, is this the kind of student you taught?” Sun Jianguo had originally planned to go to the dormitory to catch someone. Unexpectedly the security guard called him, saying his car window had been smashed.
Sun Jianguo had rushed over in a hurry. He left the dormitory matter to Chen Chao first. Coming out, he happened to catch Han Xiu.
“All right, Teacher Sun. I already understand the situation. You can go now. I will discipline him properly.” Luo Chen said.
“What do you mean you already understand? I have not even told you what happened yet!” Sun Jianguo was furious.
“That is enough, Teacher Sun. If you have other matters, go handle them. I will take care of educating him.” Luo Chen said again.
And Sun Jianguo did indeed have other business, namely going to the girls’ dormitory to catch Zhou Lili for collecting protection money. Naturally he did not want to waste more time here. After all, that was the real priority.
Otherwise he would surely have found ways to make things difficult for Luo Chen.
“Fine. I hope you can give a satisfactory explanation!” After saying that, Sun Jianguo borrowed a small electric scooter from the security guard and sped off.
Once Sun Jianguo left, Luo Chen looked at Han Xiu.
Han Xiu had assumed Luo Chen would give him a harsh scolding. After all, that was what every teacher did. They would at least lecture him a bit.
But no matter. His big brother was already on the way. They would beat him up soon enough.
However!
“All right, you can go now.” Luo Chen suddenly said just that.
Han Xiu, who had braced himself for a reprimand, was stunned.
“You are not going to scold me?”
“Why would I scold you? It is not a big deal.” Luo Chen found it strange too. It was just smashing a car window, right?
He had even killed people before. Smashing a window was such a trivial matter.
“But did you not tell Teacher Sun you would educate me?” Han Xiu asked.
“Oh, I almost forgot. From now on, remember, when you smash something, make sure no one sees you. Do it sneakily.” Luo Chen suddenly said this, leaving Han Xiu stunned once more.
He felt this teacher really did not play by the rules!
Besides, he still needed to stall for time. His big brother had not arrived yet.
“You are not going to ask why, out of so many cars, I specifically smashed his window?”
“Oh, then tell me.” Luo Chen asked.
“Because he always finds chances to harass female classmates.”
Ring ring ring… Luo Chen’s phone rang again.
“Teacher Luo, another one of your students is in trouble. She is being taken to the principal’s office right now. Hurry over. It is a female student.”
Teacher Zhou called again. Before the call even ended, the principal also called. Luo Chen did not answer either one. He hung up both calls.
Then he turned and left.
“Hey, Teacher Luo, why are you leaving? I have not finished yet!” Han Xiu did not dare let Luo Chen go. His big brother was almost here.
“Tell me later. I have something to handle. You go do whatever you need to do.” Luo Chen walked quickly, heading straight toward the principal’s office in a rush.
Less than two minutes after Luo Chen left, Han Xiu’s phone rang. “What? Big brother, you are already at the gate?”
