My girlfriend isn't as cute as me.

Ning Yueyao was rendered speechless by Lin Jiu's retort.

Her legs felt weak, and she couldn't stand up.

A well-behaved girl who has been pampered since childhood has no idea what to do in this situation.

Lin Jiu glanced at the fat man. This guy was the one who was having the most fun, so he should have been the most dangerous person... But it was unbelievable that someone could be so cowardly. The fat man's legs were twisted together, and he was standing awkwardly. He was about to pee.

This further confirms that the other party has been using substandard psychotropic drugs, and the most typical symptom is a problem with nerve coordination.

"Squad leader, do you believe me?"

"what?"

"Stop it, do you believe me or not?"

Lin Jiu didn't even glance at the fat man, completely ignoring him; his eyes were only on Ning Yueyao.

Looking at Lin Jiu's calm expression, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, Ning Yueyao felt a sense of relief despite the dangerous situation. Her heart, which had been pounding, slowly calmed down.

"Clap your hands if you feel happy."

Lin Jiu clapped his hands.

Ning Yueyao: "?"

Fat brother: "?"

"If you feel happy, clap your hands quickly!" Lin Jiu stared at Ning Yueyao, unsure if she understood his meaning, but he continued singing the nursery rhyme, gesturing wildly, "Look, everyone clap your hands together!"

Ning Yueyao blinked.

She understood.

"If you feel happy, then—stomp your feet!"

As soon as Lin Jiu finished speaking, Ning Yueyao gritted her teeth, suddenly raised her leg and stomped hard on the foot of the fat man who was holding her arm. While the other man was howling and clutching his leg, she activated her ancestral skill—head-covering crouch defense!

"Class monitor, I will remember your name from now on."

Lin Jiu revealed a wild smile, stepped forward, and slammed his right fist into that greasy face!

The obese man rolled several times on the dirty ground, his arms and legs flailing weakly. The gleaming titanium alloy folding knife lay on the ground, reflecting his distorted and bloated face.

Ning Yueyao plopped down on the ground, completely dazed.

She opened her mouth, looked at Lin Jiu for a long time, and finally managed to utter a sentence.

"You really don't remember my name!"

Chapter Forty-Four: The Teaching Affairs Office

The Academic Affairs Office.

Lin Jiu and Ning Yueyao stood in front of the long table.

The head of teaching affairs, the homeroom teacher, the vice principal, and the parents of the three students were all sitting together.

The gazes of the crowd were as sharp as knives, especially those of the students' parents, who seemed to want to tear Lin Jiu apart. If looks could kill, Lin Jiu would probably be chilled to the bone and her heart would be soaring.

That's how it happened.

Lin Jiu calmly stated the facts, even recounting every detail.

There was no embellishment from beginning to end, yet it is still unbelievable.

However, Lin Jiu didn't care whether these people believed him or not. He didn't take the people present seriously at all. Right now, he only had one thing on his mind... what would happen to Wang Yuting's lunch and dinner today? Lin Jiu had planned to go back and cook lunch during his lunch break, but he didn't expect to encounter this kind of situation.

Of course, Lin Jiu didn't think she had done anything wrong.

Even if God gave him another chance, he would still make the same choice.

Heroes cannot desert their posts in the face of battle!

Lin Jiu had never expected that things would go wrong at the school.

At first, Lin Jiu thought that reporting the matter to the school would resolve it, but the school's reaction was completely unexpected. Without any explanation, they told the person involved to wait at the dean's office, without listening to Lin Jiu and Ning Yueyao's explanations, and without even letting them sit down.

Ning Yueyao, a young girl, was already frightened by what happened, and now she was even more pale.

Only Lin Jiu stood there calmly, but he wasn't idle while waiting for someone.

He made a phone call.

A very important phone call.

"That's slander! How could my child do such a thing!"

A woman who looked well-off slammed her hand on the table and shouted. Judging from her expensive clothes and appearance, she was probably the parent of the fat brother who had been sent spinning 360 degrees in the air by Lin Jiu's "Friendship-Breaking Punch".

Don't you have any idea how much your child weighs or can't handle?

Lin Jiu said calmly, "The simplest form of foul language is the ultimate enjoyment." He was in a very bad mood right now, extremely bad. The thought that Wang Yuting might still be waiting for him to come home and cook made him incredibly anxious.

It's actually quite laughable...

Among the parents present, Lin Jiu also saw a female teacher from the school.

The other party was a teacher from another class, and her child was the tall boy who fought outside of school every day.

It's ironic that he taught so many people but failed to teach his own children well.

Of the three, the parent representative of the shorter student was a middle-aged man.

His expression was blank; he didn't say a word after taking his seat, and his gaze towards Lin Jiu was somewhat numb. It was a feeling of someone whose edges had been smoothed out, who didn't react much to anything that happened, like a walking corpse.

When he heard that his child was going crazy over that kind of thing, he just lowered his head and looked ashamed.

"Watch your mouth, student!" the dean of students shouted sternly, then turned to the wealthy woman and fawned, "Mr. Li Zhihao, rest assured, our school will investigate this matter thoroughly. If Li Zhihao is innocent, we will handle it according to school rules and procedures."

"Of course my child is innocent!" The woman spoke in a loud voice that shook the entire disciplinary office.

"Yes, yes, yes." The head of student affairs, sweat beading on his forehead, turned to Lin Jiu's homeroom teacher and shouted, "Where are the students' parents? Why haven't either of their parents arrived yet!"

"Ning Yueyao's parents said they'll be here soon. As for Lin Jiu..." The homeroom teacher looked at Lin Jiu, her eyes filled with panic, as if she remembered Lin Jiu asking her if she wanted the whole school to celebrate her affair with the principal.

"It's alright, teacher, don't worry."

Lin Jiu gave her a warm smile, as gentle as a spring breeze.

"Ah ha ha……"

The teacher was trembling with fear. How could she be at ease? The person she was most worried about was Lin Jiu.

"We haven't been able to contact Lin Jiu's parents, we just haven't been able to..." Lin Jiu's homeroom teacher said helplessly. There's a parent-teacher conference every semester, but Lin Jiu's father is the only one they've never been able to reach. She knows Lin Jiu comes from a single-parent family; her mother is divorced, so naturally she wouldn't bother her about her ex-wife—actually, she just doesn't have her ex-wife's contact information.

"That won't do!"

The woman was displeased upon hearing this.

"I have to call him over. I'm going to find his parents and demand compensation for my son's emotional distress, reputational damage, and medical expenses! I'm also going to sue him; I'm going to sue him until he's bankrupt!"

"You idiot, your son is addicted to drugs and stabbed people. He's beyond saving, just wait to die."

Lin Jiu laughed out loud, completely disregarding the feelings of those around her.

Just as his mother said, there was no need to take those who had ill intentions towards him too seriously.

Just laugh it off.

Looking at Lin Jiu's relaxed and carefree demeanor, Ning Yueyao couldn't help but smile, even though she was very nervous inside. It was as if, standing beside him, even if the sky were to fall, he could carry it all while simultaneously telling a comedy routine.

"Don't go too far! You're causing trouble, beating up classmates, and you still think you're right!"

The head of the teaching department slammed his hand on the table and shouted, startling Ning Yueyao.

Lin Jiu nodded obediently and smiled, "Yes, then call the police."

"..."

The head of the teaching department glanced at the silent vice principal, who shook his head, and his imposing manner instantly vanished.

Lin Jiu finally understood why the school teachers hadn't called the police yet; that explained it all.

The school never intended to make a big deal out of this. If outsiders found out that there were students using drugs at the school, the entire school's reputation would be ruined! Not only would it seriously affect the enrollment rate for the following year, but higher-ups would probably come down to investigate, and once they did… who in this school doesn't have something to hide?

"Call the police then! Who's afraid of who!" the woman shouted without any fear. "How could my Zhihao do such a thing? We'll check the surveillance footage and see! You can just wait to go to jail!"

"Whether you believe it or not is up to you. You'll know when the drug test results come out," Lin Jiu said calmly.

The woman became even angrier upon hearing this. Unable to argue with Lin Jiu, she picked up a pen from the table and threw it in the direction of Lin Jiu and Ning Yueyao.

No one around her stopped her; instead, they let her vent. The head of the teaching department didn't even react and was still pretending to look at the scenery.

Lin Jiu didn't stand on ceremony with her. He glanced at her, calculated the trajectory in his mind, stretched out his arm to shield Ning Yueyao behind him, and easily caught the pen that almost hit her. With a flick of his wrist, he threw the pen directly in front of her, the tip scraping against the table with a piercing sound.

"If you do it again, then I will be acting in self-defense. Please have some self-respect."

Lin Jiu said calmly, "I feel like there's a fire burning inside me, almost bursting out."

Ning Yueyao hid behind Lin Jiu, staring blankly at the other's back, momentarily lost in thought.

Even though Lin Jiu is actually a little shorter than her, he looks incredibly tall and gives people a sense of security.

"Bang bang."

Just then, there was a knock on the door of the administration office.

Chapter Forty-Five: The Rain Stops

"Bang bang."

A knock came at the door.

Among those present, the lowest-ranking homeroom teacher hurriedly went to open the door.

Now was not the time to sit in a chair and casually say "Please come in." To be honest, she breathed a sigh of relief, at least she could temporarily escape this awkward atmosphere.

The dean of students and the vice principal probably never expected that a student would be so stubborn, as hard as a rock, unyielding to any storm. If it were an ordinary student, like Ning Yueyao, the well-behaved girl who was first in the grade, she wouldn't dare to breathe loudly in front of so many people, trembling with fear.

wrong.

The homeroom teacher rubbed her eyes; she thought she had just seen Ning Yueyao laugh.

Good heavens, Lin Jiu is really corrupting people! Such a good girl has been led astray!
