The quality of the treasure chests I open will always increase by 3.

Fan Guangzeng adopted a leader's demeanor and said calmly, "Since Xiao Zhong has said so, it can only mean that Yang Xuan is indeed too weak, which led to Lin Yuan accidentally killing someone."

He characterized the incident as "accidental homicide".

Yang Bing panicked. "Then my son died in vain?"

He wanted to speak again, but a single look from Fan Guangzeng scared him back.

"but!"

Fan Guangzeng then changed the subject: "Lin Yuan's murder is also a fact, and he cannot go unpunished!"

Yang Bing's eyes lit up, and he immediately calmed down.

Director Fan is still biased towards me!

It's good that my filial piety hasn't been in vain.

"Oh, how should I punish him?" Su Weimin said calmly.

His mission is to protect Lin Yuan. If Lin Yuan is punished too severely, he will absolutely not agree to it and will instead use his connections with the Su family to protest.

but!

The authorities have always disliked these powerful families and have been looking for opportunities to weaken them. This matter originally fell under the jurisdiction of the Administration Bureau, but the Su family insisted on interfering and forming cliques. Isn't this just asking for trouble?

Therefore, Su Weimin was also in a dilemma, thinking to himself that as long as the punishment for Lin Yuan was not too severe, it would be acceptable.

—If it were just Yang Bing, he naturally wouldn't take him seriously, but Fan Guangzeng?

Not only is his strength on par with his, but he's also an official!

Fan Guangzeng glanced at Lin Yuan and said, "Although it was an accidental killing, it is still murder, which violates the law! Therefore, my solution is to expel Lin Yuan from school."

Is it that simple?

You don't even have to pay compensation?

But when everyone heard this, they all gasped in shock, thinking to themselves, "You're really ruthless!"

Expulsion from school means that Lin Yuan can no longer enter Wuhan University.

Forget about the top-tier martial arts universities, you can't even get into the worst ones!

If any university in Wuhan dares to admit a student without official student status, a single report will guarantee that all those involved will be expelled, and even the president will be dismissed from his post.

This is a blatant defiance of national law, and the authorities will not show any mercy.

Fan Guangzeng is going to completely ruin Lin Yuan's future!

From now on, Lin Yuan will only be able to level up in the game on his own. Without the help of the school, even with his high talent, he will gradually fade into obscurity.

Should the Su family help him?

Unless Lin Yuan is the Su family's illegitimate son, why would the Su family spend resources to cultivate an outsider?

Now, everyone looked at Su Weimin.

What do you say?

Su Weimin was overjoyed.

Others might not know, but as a high-ranking member of the Su family, how could Su Weimin not know Lin Yuan's value?

Putting aside everything else, the fact that Lin Yuan possessed the blueprints for creating the protective necklace alone is of immense value. Even a hundred years from now, Lin Yuan will still have a significant economic impact.

If Lin Yuan cannot be admitted to Wuhan University, how will he avoid the Yang family's revenge?

They had no choice but to rely on the Su family.

If the Su family saves your life, how will you repay them?

Do you get a cut of the money when making a protective necklace?

That's not right. You're really taking the life-saving grace for granted.

Hey, from now on Lin Yuan can only be a vassal of the Su family, not a partner.

He deliberately frowned, pretending to be in a difficult position.

This seemed reasonable to everyone.

Although the Su family is not weak, it is only not weak and cannot be considered a truly top-tier wealthy family. There are at least ten wealthy families in China with assets in the trillions, and even the government has to give them some face and will not easily turn against them.

Should the Su family be forced to confront the authorities head-on?

If the person in trouble were a direct descendant of the Su family, or even someone with exceptional talent, the Su family would certainly do everything in their power to protect them. But if it's just someone from another family... how much effort would the Su family be willing to put in?

Su Weimin's predicament was naturally reasonable.

"No! Absolutely not!"

Unexpectedly, before Su Weimin could even speak, someone shouted loudly.

Zhong Shen.

He declared loudly, "Distinguished leaders, Lin Yuan is a rare genius who will undoubtedly become one of our nation's top talents, supporting the country on its frontiers! Therefore, I urge you all to consider this matter carefully!"

Fan Guangzeng, Zhang Qixing, and others couldn't help but laugh.

The strongest in the country?

Can hold up one side of the sky?

You really dare to brag!

Even if a student with SSS-level talent has no difficulty growing into a strong person in the future, it is still necessary to add the words "top-tier".

Just kidding!

Although SSS talent is rare, given the size of the country, at least 20 to 30 people can awaken each year. But how many of these people can go all the way and become the backbone of the country?

On average, there aren't even one a year!

There are too many unexpected events on the road to growth.

Some died young, some were bewitched by cults, lost their faith and became traitors, and some lost their original aspirations. They should have served the country, but instead they only cared about themselves, built up family power, and pursued profit at the expense of the country!

Forget it, he's just a student. There's no need to lower ourselves to his level. Besides, he is a student of Shanghai Martial Arts University after all. With the prestigious reputation of Shanghai Martial Arts University backing him up, they can't say anything too harsh. Otherwise, some big shot from Shanghai Martial Arts University might come to Suzhou tomorrow and slap themselves in the face.

No need, no need.

"Everyone, what do you think?" Fan Guangzeng looked at Zhang Qixing and the others, without even glancing at Su Weimin out of the corner of his eye.

How to deal with the students is the Bureau's business; the Su family has no right to interfere!

Yang Bing was overjoyed and stared at Lin Yuan with murderous intent.

Without the protection of his student status, he had many more tricks up his sleeve to deal with Lin Yuan.

Zhang Qixing pondered for a moment, then said, "I agree."

He didn't want to offend either side, but then again, it was a fact that Lin Yuan had committed murder, so not executing him but only stripping him of his student status was already a lenient treatment.

The sentencing for manslaughter is very ambiguous; it can be severe or lenient.

After he made this statement, the other leaders looked at each other and slowly nodded in agreement.

This sentence isn't too harsh, but it's definitely not lenient either. No matter who brings it up in the future, they won't be in any trouble.

When officials make choices, they don't consider whether it's right or wrong, but rather whether it will harm them.

It should not be harmful; it should ideally be beneficial.

Right or wrong is not important.

The fact that these people nodded in agreement meant that Lin Yuan's fate was sealed!

Su Weimin wore a bitter expression on his face, but inside he was overjoyed.

—You bunch of fools! You have eyes but can't recognize a gem! Hey, once the Su family has a protective necklace, we'll take out the extras and sell them. Then we'll tell you that they were made by Lin Yuan. Hehe, what kind of expressions will you have then?

Moreover, everyone else can buy it, but you guys won't sell it no matter how much money you offer!

Although he hoped to tie Lin Yuan to the Su family's chariot and make him a vassal of the family, he never thought of treating Lin Yuan as a slave.

"Alright, on behalf of the Administration Bureau, I hereby issue the ruling: Lin Yuan's student status is revoked, effective from this moment on!" Fan Guangzeng announced loudly.

Before he could finish speaking, an aged voice boomed, "You have absolutely no right!"
