From the first day of school, Shang Lin felt that he was living a more stressful life than in his final year of junior high. The only difference was that instead of doing endless practice problems, explaining problems, and taking exams every day, he had to teach new knowledge every day.

The results of the preliminary exam were released five days later. As soon as they came out, they were used to rank the students by grade level. Shang Lin's name was in the top ten. It seems that No. 2 Middle School is full of hidden talents.

Shang Lin didn't feel anything special about his results. As he always said, there were still three years left, so why was he in such a hurry? However, some people started to criticize him.

In fact, because Shang Lin was a day student, he had almost no time to interact with his classmates outside of class. As for the ten minutes between classes, the teacher would hold the class for a while, and then he would run to the toilet, which was practically the same as not having any time at all.

So at first, Shang Lin didn't know and naturally didn't pay attention. But the more he reacted this way, the angrier the other party became. As he slowly walked past him, the other party said, "I thought the top scholar in the county was something special. I wonder how he managed to get into the top ten."

Shang Lin was reading a history book when he suddenly heard these words and realized that they were talking about him. He immediately looked up, but only saw a figure walking away.

High school students, like junior high students, are all wearing school uniforms, and since it had only been a few days since the start of the semester, Shang Lin couldn't determine who this person was from their back view, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Besides, in Shang Lin's view, this was just a child's jealousy. It would only last for two or three days before it was over. After all, high school studies are so demanding, who would have the time to do such trivial things, especially since it was a boy.

However, things were completely different from what Shang Lin had imagined. Instead of the matter being resolved, rumors of his plagiarism spread. Ha, what a guy. Is this what they call "sitting in the classroom and trouble comes from nowhere," or "the tree wants to be still, but the wind won't stop"?

To be honest, Shang Lin didn't quite understand these kids' psychology, but now that he was in their shoes, he had to find a way out, because judging from the current situation, they couldn't get through it.

Shang Lin originally planned to go to the principal in the afternoon and ask him for a set of mock exam papers from No. 1 Middle School, and then take the exam alone with the boy who had been sarcastic towards him. He wanted to let the facts speak for themselves and prevent the boy from bullying him.

But when Shang Lin came to class in the afternoon, his schoolbag had disappeared, his chair was gone, and although his desk was still there, it was placed alone in the corner.

Shang Lin was so angry he almost laughed. Now it seemed that when they were in junior high school in the county, Chu Jiusheng and his classmates were just bluffing. Look at the students in the city's high school, these are the real powerhouses.

Shang Lin calmly took out a tissue from his pocket, quickly drew a talisman on it with his right hand. He was no ordinary Qi Refining expert, and soon he folded the tissue into a paper crane and flew away. He then followed the paper crane.

Oh, to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, he concealed the paper crane. He followed the paper crane to the garbage station, where his schoolbag and books were scattered all over the ground, along with his chair that was missing a leg.

When Shang Lin, that little money-grubber, saw his schoolbag and books ruined like this, his face immediately darkened. If you have a problem, come at me. What kind of skill is it to throw his things away?

Shang Lin immediately took out his phone from the Dragon Spirit Tower and took pictures of his belongings and the surrounding environment. He was about to go find the culprit when he turned around and saw Chu Jiusheng throwing away the trash.

As soon as the younger brother saw the boss, he grinned from ear to ear, "Boss, you're here to throw out the trash too?"

Before Shang Lin could respond, Chu Jiusheng, who had already walked up to him, noticed the schoolbag and the books scattered around. With his good eyesight, he happened to see Shang Lin's name on a page of one of the books.

Chu Jiusheng subconsciously asked Shang Lin, "Boss, what's going on here? Why is your name on this? Wait, could this be your backpack and books?!"

They had just finished ranking the students for their first year of high school. Chu Jiu, who was going to be promoted, was eager to improve himself. He carefully looked up the names and rankings of his classmates, and also checked if there were any students with the same surname. The result was that there was only one person with the surname Shang, and two others with the surname Chu, including himself.

No, no, no, it's not just the surname; very few people use the character "凛" in their given name either. So, after asking the question on the ninth day of the first lunar month, Chu Jiusheng asked again with a dark face, "Which grandson did this?"

Since the beginning of the new year, Shang Lin hadn't had a chance to speak. Now, seeing that he was already angry and looked like he would find someone to fight if he said the name of the culprit, he finally had a chance to speak. "I don't know either. I'm looking for evidence."

Chu Jiusheng was furious. "It's only been a few days since school started, why is someone targeting you? Why?"

Shang Lin spoke frankly, "It seems to mean that I cheated during the placement test, or it could mean that I cheated during the preliminary test, anyway, it was cheating."

Chu Jiusheng was so angry he laughed. "No way, use your brain before spreading rumors! You were the top scorer in the preliminary exam, who could you possibly copy from? As for the placement test, you were in the top ten, but that was on the second day of school. Who knows who there was? Where could you copy from? You're crazy, no, you're just jealous. You can't stand seeing others do well."

Shang Lin patted Chu Jiusheng's shoulder with amusement. "Alright, alright, don't be angry. Don't you know how capable I am? Go back to class, I can handle it."

Chu Jiusheng naturally knew how powerful Shang Lin was, but, "If it's just one person targeting you, that's fine, but if it's several people, can you handle them?"

Shang Lin laughed for real this time. "What do you mean by that? Do you want me to fight someone, or fight against many people? My family doesn't have a mine. I'll be at a disadvantage no matter who wins or loses a fight. Young people shouldn't be impulsive. We should persuade people with reason."

Chu Jiusheng looked at Shang Lin with some dissatisfaction, "What young man? Are you older than me? And you're too calm, aren't you angry at all?"

“I’m angry,” Shang Lin said matter-of-factly. “But the way I get angry is different. I’m a pretty easygoing person, so I don’t show my anger too obviously.”

"I think you've gotten so angry you've lost your mind." Chu Jiusheng said helplessly, then pointed to the schoolbag and books on the ground. "So what do we do now? Should I put them away for you?"

"No need, someone will compensate me." After saying that, Shang Lin urged again, "Go back to class and don't think about sticking up for me. You're just making things worse, you know? Since you've acknowledged me as your boss, you have to listen to me, understand?"

Chu Jiusheng looked at Shang Lin with a very aggrieved expression, "Boss, how could you do this? Shouldn't your younger brother step in when something like this happens?"

"Get lost." Shang Lin, unusually impatient, even clenched his fist at Chu Jiusheng, "Watch out or I'll beat you up."

On the ninth day, the food was served in one liter, and then it was "rolled away".
