Gao Wu: Oh no! Young Master Zhen is a cultivator!

Unexpected events came one after another, leaving Lin Ran somewhat overwhelmed.

When he first transmigrated, he thought he would embark on a path of a loser's rise to power.

In the blink of an eye, he obtained a cultivation technique that allowed him, a mortal, to cultivate into an immortal.

Then, he believed that he would become the only cultivator in this world of high martial arts, cultivating silently and eventually transcending tribulation to become an immortal.

Unexpectedly, another couple suddenly appeared, claiming to be his biological parents.

Wouldn't that make him a rich young master again?

In my previous life, I toiled for half my life and never enjoyed any happiness.

Now that he's been given the chance to be a young master, he finds it utterly uninteresting.

Everyone's cultivating immortality, who still cares about being a rich young master?

Song Yishu was somewhat at a loss due to Lin Ran's attitude: "Mom knows you can't accept it right now, but... we really are your biological parents!"

"Perhaps," Lin Ran said calmly. "However, I've lived alone for eighteen years and am used to being an orphan. I'm not really keen on acknowledging my relatives."

"But..." Song Yishu wanted to say something, but Lin Hongbo interrupted her: "No need to rush, take your time."

As he spoke, his gaze swept over everyone in the room, and he slowly asked, "What happened here?"

"This..." The security captain was at a loss for words.

Zhao Dahai asked, "Xiao Liu just told me that some students were fighting?"

"Yes...yes, yes, it was a student fight." The security captain nodded repeatedly. "I asked Xiao Liu to call Teacher Zhao over to deal with this."

Zhao Dahai turned to look at the group of energetic young men, his expression icy: "You lot, are you bullying Lin Ran again?"

The group of energetic young men remained silent.

Did they bully Lin Ran?

They really did bully them.

It wasn't just today that they bullied me; they've bullied me a lot in the past.

But today is different.

Although they bullied Lin Ran today, they also got a good beating from him.

Judging from Lin Ran's nonchalant appearance, it's hard to say who's more seriously injured!

"I'm asking you a question. Are you mute?" Zhao Dahai pressed again.

Rainbow Head is, after all, the leader, and his mental fortitude is stronger than the other young men.

He spoke up first: "Yes...we bullied Lin Ran, but Lin Ran also hit us."

Faced with this situation, he dared not continue to distort the truth.

Lin Ran might be able to fight, but they are not afraid of him.

What good is being able to fight?

In this world, you need influence and connections.

Lin Ran used to have no background, so they could bully him at will.

Now, Lin Ran is the long-lost biological son of the richest man, with an immense background. If he still doesn't know when to advance and retreat, then he has a way to die.

Of course, it's still worth selling the pitiful aspect; perhaps it can reduce Lin Hongbo's anger.

"Hmph!" Lin Hongbo glanced at Rainbow Head, then turned to Zhao Dahai: "I am extremely disappointed with your school's discipline and atmosphere. How can people like them be allowed to stay in school and influence other students' studies?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Dahai wiped the fine sweat from his forehead: "This...this...Mr. Lin, there's been some misunderstanding. Actually, there are many more good students like Lin Ran in our school."

"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? What misunderstanding could there be about bullying a classmate?"

Lin Hongbo's tone was calm, but his attitude was very firm: "I think this kind of black sheep should be expelled immediately. Only in this way can we serve as a warning to other students. What do you think, Teacher Zhao?"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Lin is right. We will definitely handle this matter seriously and give you and Lin Ran an explanation." Zhao Dahai readily agreed.

Lin Hongbo waved his hand: "It's not just about giving an explanation to Lin Ran and me, but also to all the students and parents at the school!"

"If students like this don't receive the punishment they deserve, how will Xinhai No. 3 Middle School recruit more new students in the future?"

His words sounded grand and dignified, but the unspoken implication was that if a few young rascals weren't expelled, Xinhai No. 3 Middle School would never need to reopen.

In fact, given the extent of Lin Ran's injuries, he could have easily chosen to call the police and send these young men to the police station.

However, considering that Lin Ran had also hit someone, he ultimately didn't want to escalate the situation.

They're just a few school punks; they're not worth him making a big fuss about.

First, have the school expel them. If they still don't learn their lesson, they'll find plenty of ways to deal with them in society.

"Mr. Lin, rest assured, I will take them to the principal's office right now. The school will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

Zhao Dahai looked at the group of energetic young men: "You guys, come with me now."

The energetic young men secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If it's just expulsion, they don't really care.

They were just a bunch of hooligans anyway, so what difference would it make if they didn't go to school?

However, their joy was short-lived, as Lin Ran spoke again: "You still haven't told me who's behind you all?"

Before the energetic young men could respond, the security captain spoke up first: "There's no order involved. It's just bad students bullying honest students. I've seen this kind of thing countless times. Why would anyone need to instruct them?"

He spoke with certainty, while his gaze swept over the group of energetic young men, clearly intending to shut them up.

Lin Ran turned to the security captain: "How can you be so sure? Or... are you in cahoots with them too?"

"No, don't slander me! I'm a respectable person! How could I be involved with them?" The security captain denied it outright, his tone becoming even more urgent.

Lin Ran raised an eyebrow: "Really? You said you often encounter bad students bullying honest students, which means this kind of thing happens frequently at our school?"

"This...that's not what I meant, I meant...I meant..." The security captain didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Lin Ran looked up: "Or do you often see them bullying me?"

"I...you...I..." The security captain became increasingly flustered.

Lin Hongbo and Song Yishu also sensed something was amiss; this matter seemed to be more complicated than they had imagined.

"Tell me! Why are you targeting my son?" Song Yishu's voice rose an octave, clearly showing her deep concern about Lin Ran's long-term bullying.

Rainbow Head instinctively stepped back, glanced at the security captain, and then quickly lowered his head.

"No, don't make wild guesses. We just don't like you, that's why we want to deal with you, it has nothing to do with anyone else."

"Oh?" Lin Ran curled his lip. "Because you don't like me, you've bullied me for two and a half years. Is bullying me that fun?"

Upon hearing Lin Ran's words, Song Yishu's eyes immediately filled with tears: "Two and a half years? How dare they?"

She looked at Lin Hongbo, her voice choked with emotion, "Husband, I will make them pay!"

"Don't worry." Lin Hongbo gently patted Song Yishu's back, took a deep breath, and looked at Rainbow Head again: "You still have one more chance to tell the truth."

To him, ordinary people who are poor, powerless, and unable to awaken are like ants on the ground.

If he just lifts his foot, these energetic young men won't see the sun rise tomorrow.

I didn't want to bother with it before, I just thought student fights were common.

Now that they know the other party has ulterior motives, the situation is different.

Rainbow Head could no longer hold out. He knew that if he said another wrong word, the consequences would be dire.

"I said... it was all arranged by Young Master Sun. He told us to deal with Lin Ran, and we dared not disobey."

The security captain and Zhao Dahai's expressions immediately turned ugly.

What started as a simple student brawl has escalated into a case of hiring someone to commit assault, and things are unlikely to end so easily.

"Young Master Sun? Someone from the Sun family?" Lin Hongbo frowned and asked again.

Rainbow Head simply confessed: "Yes, it was Sun Jinghuan, the eldest son of the Sun family, who ordered us to do it. The Sun family is powerful; how could ordinary people like us dare to disobey Young Master Sun's orders?"

"Good! Good for the Sun family! Good for Young Master Sun! Very good indeed!" Lin Hongbo laughed angrily, "It seems the Sun family doesn't take my Lin family seriously at all!"

Lin Ran rolled his eyes: "Sir, please don't jump to conclusions. This guy surnamed Sun doesn't know I'm a member of the Lin family."

After saying that, he looked at the person with the rainbow-colored hair: "I don't think I know this Sun Jinghuan. Why is he targeting me?"
