Gao Wu: I'll enjoy the benefits, but you'll bear the side effects.

Miao Mulan looked on incredulously when she saw A Niu and Gao Jie arrive together.

Her throat felt like it was choked by something, and she couldn't make a sound. She could only blink her eyes frantically to express her shock.

Ah Niu quickly moved closer and asked anxiously, "Teacher Mulan, are you being threatened? If so, please blink to let us know."

Hearing this from the side, Gao Jie couldn't help but feel helpless and said to A Niu, "The person is already like this, why are you still asking so many questions?"

Then, Gao Jie turned to Miao Mulan and said softly, "Teacher Mulan, we plan to take you away from here, but you have to promise not to ask us how we know these things, okay? If you agree, just blink like you did before."

Miao Mulan was filled with doubt, not understanding why these two people had suddenly appeared here.

Although she felt something was amiss, she didn't have much time to think about it. After hesitating for a moment, she blinked as requested, tacitly allowing the two to take her away.

After delivering Miao Mulan to the teachers' apartment inside the school, A Niu and Gao Jie were exhausted. Luckily, it was lunch break time and there weren't many people loitering around, otherwise, something terrible would have definitely happened.

Miao Mulan kept staring at the box on the table, and Gao Jie pointed to it.

"Teacher Mulan, do you want to eat what's in this box?"

Miao Mulan blinked, and Gao Jie opened it, finding it to be a gummy bear-shaped candy.

She picked one up and stuffed it in, her eyes closed, and sweat quickly beaded on her forehead.

The next moment, sweat streamed down his face, and he sat up abruptly, panting heavily.

"I need water!"

Gao Jie poured her a cup, but it still wasn't enough. Miao Mulan simply stretched out her finger and pierced the water dispenser bucket, then hugged the bucket and drank it all.

Miao Mulan slumped on the sofa, her hands tightly covering her round belly, until her body reached its limit and she could no longer drink a drop more.

"How exactly did you two realize that something bad had happened to me?" Miao Mulan asked, her eyes filled with a mixture of doubt and urgency as she composed herself.

Gao Jie scratched his head somewhat awkwardly and said, "Teacher, you promised us you wouldn't ask us about these things."

Miao Mulan frowned slightly, a hint of apology on her face, and said softly.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I was careless and forgot about that."

But the doubts in my heart grew stronger, and my thoughts became tangled like a mess of hemp.

But since we've already made a promise to Gao Jie, we can't easily go back on our word, after all, we have to take care of the child's self-esteem.

After resting for a while, Miao Mulan suddenly felt a strong wave of nausea. She hurriedly got up and staggered towards the toilet.

In the toilet, she bent over the toilet bowl and vomited painfully. She did this repeatedly for a long time until there was nothing left in her stomach to vomit, and then she leaned weakly against the wall.

She thought to herself that the poison in her body must have been forced out by all this commotion, and that she had escaped a terrible ordeal.

When they came out again, Ah Niu and Gao Jie were leaning on the windowsill, watching the girls' school students next door play ball.

"You two come here, there's something I need to tell you both."

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name 1110 ...

Gao Jie turned his head.

"Teacher, you don't need to say anything more. It's about our grades, right?"

"We were always first or second in the class in terms of overall grades, but our report cards showed us at the bottom, right?"

Miao Mulan was even more surprised.

"You're right."

"Now that this has happened, I can't stay at the school anymore. I'm going to resign this afternoon. Take this and go to the youth training team right away."

Gao Jie felt a warmth in his heart, because Miao Mulan had given him the reports from the youth training team.

Once you fill it out and take it to the youth training team, you'll never have to worry about making a living again.

In this world, most members who emerge from the youth training team will go on to take up positions in various bustling cities, thus beginning their meteoric rise in their official careers.

A complex emotion welled up in Gao Jie's heart.

The situation was critical at the time, but seeing the outcome now, I feel that my life-risking rescue was worthwhile.

However, Gao Jie surprisingly chose to decline this coveted opportunity.

He looked calmly and openly at Miao Mulan before speaking slowly.

"Teacher, I didn't help you out of any desire for such a reward. You know, there's a lot more to this than meets the eye."

Gao Jie paused for a moment, then continued.

"Those people with powerful connections can easily manipulate our overall scores, instantly dragging the top spot to the bottom. How could they not have ways to prevent us from entering the youth training team?"

After hearing this, Miao Mulan nodded slightly, her expression showing a hint of helplessness and agreement.

Seeing this, Gao Jie continued, "In that case, why not stay at school and get through this period smoothly until graduation and getting your diploma? That would be a safe bet."

Gao Jie had his own plans in mind; he possessed a unique system.

Whether or not you join the youth training team, you have enough ability and resources to grow and break through.

Moreover, the astronomical training fees for the youth training team are far beyond the reach of ordinary families.

For him, there is no need to be fixated on this one path; he can still forge his own wonderful path after leaving school.

My family can't afford the 200 million Alliance Coins training fee per year.

Miao Mulan felt a little sad.

"It's all my fault as a teacher."

Gao Jie smiled.

"It's alright, you don't need to take it to heart. There's a saying that goes, 'Life is unpredictable.'"

"We won't take up any more of your time. Please pack your things and leave. I'm worried he won't let this go."

Miao Mulan knew that Gao Jie was referring to Principal Zhu.

If I don't leave soon, Principal Zhu might realize what's happening and actually find someone to deal with me.

He couldn't allow himself to be ruined.

"This is the address I'll be going to next. This is my personal number. You two can contact me if anything comes up."

After saying that, Miao Mulan turned around and started packing her things. Gao Jie and A Niu didn't stay there any longer either, and went straight to the classroom.

The two had just returned to the classroom when Yang Long was showing off again.

"I was only slightly disturbed while practicing yesterday, but I'm at least at the second level now."

"It won't be long before the school gives me a spot to join the youth training team."

This sentence reminded Gao Jie.

The youth training team gave out two spots. One was Xu Wanwan, who was pre-selected. Who was the other one?

Yang Long doesn't have that qualification; his family is just rich, not powerful.

Xu Wanwan's father is a very powerful figure in this city.

So who exactly is it?

Gao Jie was a little confused, so he chatted idly with A Niu until it was almost time for school to end before he remembered that he hadn't kept his promise to A Niu about the grilled fish.

"Going to eat Golden Grilled Fish will cost at least two or three hundred Alliance Coins. How about this, I made some money today, so I'll give you 1000."

The prices in this city are particularly low; 1000 Union Coins are enough for Ah Niu's family to live on for three months.

"Are you kidding me?"

Ah Niu's face was filled with disbelief until his phone popped up.

To everyone's surprise, 1000 Alliance Coins actually arrived in his account. Ah Niu excitedly grabbed his hand.

"From today onwards, I'm your buddy, good brother. Don't forget me when you make your fortune!"

Ah Niu was quite happy, but Gao Jie took him to the market again, and they each bought a ten-pound mandarin fish.

The city's specialty is mandarin fish, but its high price makes it inaccessible to most ordinary people.

If a family of three can afford to eat mandarin fish once a month, they are basically considered upper class in this city.

Its delicious taste and tender meat are unparalleled in the world.

The two parted ways, each carrying a fish.

But when he arrived at his doorstep, he found a crowd gathered around. Gao Jie panicked and rushed to push through the crowd, fearing something might happen to his home.

But as the saying goes, what you fear most is what happens.

The parents were being threatened by a scarred man. "You dare borrow money from me if you don't have the money to pay me back? You're asking for it!"

"You guys actually dare to ask me for 50,000 yuan? Are you crazy?"

"I'm warning you, I'm taking 7000 yuan in interest today. If you don't pay, don't blame me for breaking one of your legs!"

In this world, debts must be repaid, and even the mayor can't control that.

Gao Jie then realized that half of the 100,000 Alliance Coins was borrowed.
