Lu Yuan went back to his room first, took some things out of his bag and stuffed them into his pocket before going with Gao Zhe to the girls' room to find Xiao Wen.

Everyone was watching him from the living room, wondering how he would manage to win over Xiaowen.

In fact, if he planned to use violence, probably few people present would object.

Human patience has its limits, and Xiaowen has been repeatedly pushing the boundaries.

The door wasn't locked, so Lu Yuan and Gao Zhe pushed it open and went inside.

Xia Anqi wanted to see what Lu Yuan would do, but Gao Zhe closed the door.

"What is he going to do?" Xia Anqi asked, puzzled.

Zhang Xueling and the others shook their heads.

Xia Anqi then looked at Ye Yixian, who was closest to Lu Yuan.

Ye Yixian sat by the stove warming herself. She didn't want to talk, but Xia Anqi kept looking at her, so she had no choice but to say, "Don't look at me. I don't know what Lu Yuan is up to."

"Aren't you worried that he might make a mistake in a moment of impulse?"

Xia Anqi was referring to Lu Yuan's hot-blooded nature. Xiao Wen was so annoying, and Lu Yuan lost control and beat her up. She had no problem with beating her up, but what if he went too far and injured her?

"He knows what he's doing."

Ye Yixian spoke calmly, showing his trust in Lu Yuan.

Xia Anqi was speechless and could only wait in the living room with everyone else.

There was no room. Xiaowen sat on the edge of the bed, crying as she packed her things. Lu Yuan and Gao Zhe pushed the door open and entered, startling her.

She curled up at the foot of the bed and said fearfully, "What do you want to do? Don't come any closer, or I'll scream."

Lu Yuan and Gao Zhe were speechless.

Gao Zhe stood by the door, guarding the only exit, preventing anyone from coming in or Xiao Wen from leaving.

Lu Yuan smiled faintly, his gaze falling on Xiao Wen's packed luggage. "What's up? Planning to leave?"

Xiaowen glanced at her belongings, then looked at Lu Yuan warily, and said with a forced smile, "Yes, I'm leaving now. When I get back, I'll definitely report you, and you can expect to go to jail."

She was referring to Gao Zhe in the second half of the sentence, because it was Gao Zhe who killed the pheasant.

Will you really go to jail for killing a pheasant?

It's hard to say; it depends on the judicial assessment. If the circumstances are deemed serious, imprisonment is indeed a possibility.

The most typical case is the "college student bird-stealing case" in 2014, also known as the "Yan Xiaotian case". The general situation is that college student Yan Xiaotian and his friends stole bird nests during the summer vacation and sold them publicly on a group. Among them were precious birds that are national second-class protected animals. As a result, he was sentenced to ten years and six months in prison for multiple crimes.

This case caused a sensation and can be considered a major news story serving as a warning to others in the context of the implementation of the National Precious Animal Protection Law.

It remains to be confirmed whether the pheasant Gao Zhe shot is a protected animal. If it is, and Xiao Wen reports it, not only Gao Zhe, but also Lu Yuan and his group will be in trouble.

Therefore, the best approach is to act as if nothing happened and let Xiaowen give up the idea of ​​reporting it.

Despite Xiaowen's threat, Lu Yuan remained unfazed, still smiling kindly as he walked to the bedside.

Xiaowen was so frightened that she curled up in the corner. Her movements were so exaggerated that Lu Yuan felt a little embarrassed to sit down.

"Unless you kill me today, I will definitely report you. Even if you hit me or curse me, I won't be afraid."

Xiaowen is determined to go against everyone.

Gao Zhe couldn't take it anymore and looked at Lu Yuan, asking for his opinion on whether he could go up and give this woman a good beating!

Lu Yuan waved his hand, indicating that Gao Zhe did not need to make any move.

Gao Zhe sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Xiao Wen, and said slowly, "Don't worry, we won't hit you or scold you. I prefer to reason with people."

"you……"

Xiaowen was a little confused, not knowing what Lu Yuan was up to.

Lu Yuan continued with a smile, "Tell me, what problems do you think Zhang Xueling's team has?"

"There's a huge problem," Xiaowen blurted out without hesitation.

Lu Yuan adjusted his posture and listened attentively.

Xiaowen immediately began to complain: "None of you take your homework seriously at all. You could have done more, but you insist on being so slow. How can you possibly do it well like that?"

"These assignments all qualify for extra points, and there's even a scholarship at the end of the semester. Shouldn't we be taking them seriously?"

Over the next few minutes, she voiced her opinions about everyone, especially Xia Anqi, whom she considered a useless rich girl.

She disliked Xia Anqi the most because she had to wear makeup when she came out for an inspection.

In short, she felt that no one in the team was taking it seriously; they were either there to have fun or just to join in the fun. This kind of inefficiency might prevent her from getting a high score on her practical assignment and from receiving a scholarship.

After listening, Lu Yuan thought for a moment, then smiled faintly, "So, what do you care about, grades or scholarships?"

"Of course I care about the grades."

Xiaowen answered angrily.

"So you don't want the scholarship?" Lu Yuan asked again.

Xiaowen immediately added, "Why not take the scholarship if you can?"

Lu Yuan nodded in understanding, then asked, "How much is your scholarship?"

"It's anywhere from two or three thousand to seven or eight thousand. What's wrong?"

The scholarships Xiaowen mentioned include both individual and group scholarships, ranging from a few thousand to over ten thousand yuan, depending on whether it's a national scholarship, a school scholarship, or an individual/company scholarship.

Regardless of which one, it's all real money.

A few thousand yuan is an attractive sum of money for any student.

Lu Yuan now earns hundreds of thousands of yuan a month, which is quite wealthy, but if he had the opportunity to receive a scholarship of several thousand yuan, he would still not refuse it and would be happy to accept it.

Nobody turns down money.

"Since you care so much about grades and...scholarships, why don't you listen to Zhang Xueling's arrangements? Zhang Xueling is the group leader, isn't she?" Lu Yuan asked.

Xiaowen immediately showed a defiant look, "His plan is too conservative, we could have done better."

"We won't comment on his arrangements, but I'm just asking you, as a group member, shouldn't you follow the group leader's arrangements? Even if you have better ideas, you should discuss them with him instead of making decisions on your own. Zhang Xueling isn't someone who can't be discussed with. Do you think what I'm saying makes sense?"

"I……"

Xiaowen was speechless for a moment, seemingly realizing her mistake.

However, she would not admit her mistakes.

After a brief moment of contemplation, he swung his arm and declared righteously, "We're talking about hunting protected animals. You've broken the law, so I have an obligation to report you and uphold justice."

"Are you trying to uphold legal justice, or are you trying to get a cash reward by reporting someone?"

Lu Yuan looked at Xiao Wen with a forced smile.

The latter seemed to have her secret thoughts exposed, and was immediately embarrassed and speechless. Her gaze towards Lu Yuan also held a hint of fear.
