Lu Chen naturally knew nothing about these matters. He had cultivated all night, and now the sky had brightened, so he returned home.
Back at Sea Bright Moon, Lu Chen first took a shower. While he was showering, his phone rang again.
“Mr Lu, An Lingyu has been kidnapped.” It was Fei Long calling.
Lu Chen was not surprised at all. Zhou Zihao’s strength was simply insufficient to protect An Lingyu. This had been inevitable.
“This matter no longer concerns me, right?” Lu Chen did not want to get involved. His mission had already ended.
“The Security Bureau sent out three groups of experts last night, but regrettably all of them were killed by the other side. So the leader over there at the Security Bureau wants to ask Mr Lu to take action.”
Fei Long paused for a moment before finally saying those words.
“Sorry, no time!” Lu Chen hung up directly.
Back then that Security Bureau leader had treated him with an extremely poor attitude. And that Zhou Zihao had been arrogantly overbearing, repeatedly claiming he could definitely protect An Lingyu, that he was a professional. But what was the result?
Even setting aside the outcome, they had kicked him away when everything was fine. Now that there was a problem, they came calling him back.
What kind of behaviour was this?
Did they really think he, Lu Chen, could be summoned and dismissed at will?
He had barely hung up when there was a knock at his door.
Lu Chen opened it. Outside stood Fei Long and Liu Quan.
“Mr Lu, we are truly sorry. We really have no other options.” Fei Long felt very frustrated. Moreover he could not stand the sight of Liu Quan no matter how he looked.
The girl had been well protected. Yet you had to come meddling. Now look what happened. A huge mess.
“I have already done everything I was supposed to do. So sorry, this has nothing to do with me.” Lu Chen shook his head.
“Lu Chen, right? You should understand that my coming here in person this time is giving you an opportunity!” Liu Quan still maintained that arrogant posture, and his attitude was extremely poor.
Because in his view, for anyone, being able to serve the Security Bureau was indeed an opportunity. Most people would eagerly accept it.
Moreover he still did not take Lu Chen seriously. He regarded Lu Chen as merely an ordinary member of society.
But the moment those words came out, Fei Long’s expression changed. You are here to beg someone for help, yet you still act with this attitude?
When I come to ask him for help I have to plead and beg, because Lu Chen’s temper is just like that. He responds to softness, not hardness. If you put yourself on a high horse, he might not even bother glancing at you.
Lu Chen was amused to the point of laughter by Liu Quan’s attitude and those words.
“Oh? Giving me an opportunity?”
“You should know that other people beg for such good fortune but cannot get it. This really is giving you…”
“Sorry, I need to take this call.” Lu Chen’s phone rang.
“Hello, is this Teacher Lu? Could we please ask you to return to Tulip and continue as the homeroom teacher for Class 3?”
It was the principal of Tulip calling. Because this morning was not only about An Lingyu’s kidnapping.
Ye Shengtao had led the students of Class 3 to smash every single pane of glass in all the classrooms and office buildings of Tulip. Not one was spared. Even the principal’s office had been smashed.
That was not all. This morning Ye Shengtao had also slipped laxatives into the food in the school cafeteria. Now dozens of students had been sent to the hospital. The Education Bureau had already sent people to investigate the matter personally.
The principal of Tulip now felt he was finished.
With such a huge incident at the school, he could not bear the responsibility.
The only one who could suppress Class 3 was Lu Chen.
“Sorry, no time.”
Lu Chen hung up directly. When his protection mission had ended, the principal’s attitude had already said everything. Now they came begging him to return?
Where was such good fortune in the world?
“How about it, Lu Chen? I hope you cherish this opportunity!” Liu Quan saw Lu Chen hang up and brought up the topic again.
“Cherish? Opportunity?” Lu Chen smiled, but it was a cold smile.
Fei Long, listening from the side, itched to slap Liu Quan directly!
“Sorry, I just want to say.” At this point Lu Chen paused, cleared his throat.
“Who the hell do you think you are? Giving me an opportunity? Does someone like me, Lu, need you to give me an opportunity?”
“Are you mentally ill? Right now you are the one begging me for help, yet you dare speak to me like this?”
“Take your opportunity and give it to someone else. Since you are so capable, go rescue the person yourself. Now, stop standing at my door disturbing me. Get lost!”
“Bang!”
Lu Chen slammed the door shut.
He gave them no face at all!
On the other side, after the call was hung up, the principal stood in his office with a dark face. Now all the teachers in the school had been gathered here.
Chen Chao and Sun Jianguo were also present. At this moment they kept their heads lowered and did not dare say a word.
“Director Chen, Teacher Sun, and the other teachers. When Teacher Lu first came to the school, you opposed him again and again. Then repeatedly came to me privately, hoping I would fire Teacher Lu.”
“Fine. Now Teacher Lu has finally left. Are you satisfied?”
“Then why don’t you come up with a solution for me now? The whole school is in chaos, a complete mess. Why don’t you solve it for me?”
“And Chen Chao, haven’t you always claimed you could manage Senior Year Three Class 3 well? Then go out now and bring those kids from Class 3 back to the classroom to study quietly!”
“Have you gone mute? Why aren’t you speaking? Weren’t you quite talkative back then?”
“Aren’t you all so capable? What’s wrong? Now go and settle this matter for me!”
Chen Chao’s face was bruised and swollen in patches. Even Sun Jianguo looked the same. Last night when they left the school gate, a group of people had suddenly appeared and beaten them upon sight, leaving them in this state.
But at this moment they remained silent, letting the principal curse them in the office.
Because they had nothing to say.
They had originally thought that once Lu Chen left, their scheme would succeed. Who knew that after Lu Chen left, their suffering had only just begun. Just now, people from the Education Bureau had already come looking for Chen Chao. After all he was now the homeroom teacher for Class 3. But it was definitely not good news. The Education Bureau had clearly stated that Chen Chao’s performance was too poor. He had only just taken over Senior Year Three Class 3 and already such a huge mess had occurred. So the Education Bureau had already given up on Chen Chao.
In other words, Chen Chao’s hopes of promotion had completely fallen through.
“Prepare the car, quickly.” The principal suddenly shouted.
“Principal, where are you going?”
“Where am I going? What else can I do? Of course I am going personally to invite Teacher Lu back!”
