"Hahahaha!" The students all burst into laughter, because they usually disliked Lu Han, especially after he became effeminate. Now, seeing him fly from his seat to the wall behind him, he looked utterly ridiculous.

Lin Ruoyan ignored him, her attention now entirely on Lin Chen. Of course, she was also very interested in the matter of Che Yulin's father forcibly demolishing the orphanage where Lin Chen lived.

The perceptive woman realized that this was very likely a major reason why Lin Chen suddenly left the Lin family and returned to the county town!

While she was away, she had already asked someone to investigate the matter. Ning Jiaqi, who was with her, had also sent the basic information to Brother Wu, asking him to look into the matter for her.

What might surprise everyone is that these two "rumored girlfriends" of Lin Chen are actually investigating him like spies! That's why Lin Chen said he was suffering, but who would know?

This class felt like the longest one Che Yulin had ever had. After class, he hurriedly grabbed his schoolbag and ran home.

The next day, before class, Lin Ruoyan mentioned that Che Yulin had also taken a leave of absence and probably wouldn't be coming back until after the college entrance exam. This was practically the same as graduating early.

"That kind of scum should have been kicked out long ago." "Black Whirlwind" Li Kui still had a fiery temper.

"Exactly! Someone like him is the vice class monitor? He's a disgrace to our Class 15!"

"You've forgotten how he used to report on us to our bald-headed Old Zhao when he was in charge of discipline. I feel like throwing up just thinking about his despicable face."

...

It's only natural for classmates to kick someone when they're down and collectively condemn them. But the tone of the last sentence was noticeably higher than the others, and her delicate pinky finger was also raised higher than usual.

"Lu Han, aren't you and Che Yulin on good terms?" someone asked deliberately.

That's right. Yesterday, Lu Han was comforting Che Yulin, but today, after learning that Che Yulin might not come back, she immediately transformed into a warrior of justice and became the vanguard in the fight against Che Yulin!

Not only that, Lu Han shamelessly approached Lin Chen and Ning Jiaqi, constantly badmouthing Che Yulin and even praising Lin Chen and Ning Jiaqi as a perfect match! She even said she was waiting to drink their wedding wine!

"Get out of here!!!"

Lin Chen and Ning Jiaqi uttered these three words almost simultaneously, their tone filled with tacit understanding and determination.

"Is Che Yulin really not coming on his own?"

After confirming that no one was around, Lin Chen asked a question in a low voice, his tone slightly playful, which startled Ning Jiaqi.

"Do you think that kid's heart is that fragile?" he continued, a deep light flashing in his eyes.

"I don't understand what you mean," Ning Jiaqi replied, somewhat puzzled.

"Actually... I can handle most things myself. But I still want to thank you." Lin Chen smiled slightly, then picked up his schoolbag and left the classroom, leaving Ning Jiaqi alone, lost in thought.

"Impossible, right? Brother Wu is very efficient. Could he have found out?" Ning Jiaqi muttered to herself, feeling that things were not as simple as they seemed.

Just as Lin Chen said, Che Yulin didn't voluntarily choose to drop out of school. In fact, his situation was quite passive. He was detained by unknown individuals just yesterday when he left the school.

Moreover, these unidentified individuals were not one group, but two groups! Their goal was the same: to force Che Yulin to reveal the location of his home and the truth behind the forced demolition of the welfare home.

When Che Yulin saw this scene, it reminded him of the fear he felt when he accompanied Liu Tiantian to the bar and was dominated by Zhao Sanfeng.

Unsurprisingly, he urinated on the spot again, this time on someone else's car. As a result, he was brutally beaten by the two groups of people, so badly that even his own mother didn't recognize him.

At this time, Che Yulin was locked in a small dark room. His parents already knew about this and could only raise money as required by the other party in the hope of redeeming their son.

...

"This is my own business, why are you interfering? Are you that bored?"

Lin Chen dragged Lin Ruoyan back to the women's restroom and questioned her with a serious expression.

"What are you talking about, Lin Chen? I don't understand what you're saying," Lin Ruoyan replied, feigning composure.

"Are you still playing dumb with me? Where is Che Yulin now?" Lin Chen's tone revealed a hint of impatience.

"Didn't he drop out of school? How would I know where he is?" Lin Ruoyan tried to hide her inner panic.

"Looks like you're going to take the punishment!" Lin Chen had wanted to make a move against Lin Ruoyan for a long time, but he was held back by other reasons. But now, Lin Ruoyan had crossed his bottom line.

He grabbed Lin Ruoyan by the neck with one hand and slammed her against the wall!

"Aaaaaah, Lin Chen, are you crazy? Let me go!"

Lin Ruoyan was, after all, just a petite young female teacher. How could she be a match for Lin Chen, who possessed mysterious qigong? She was suddenly being choked and could barely breathe.

"Do you really think I'm joking with you? I'll deal with you first, then Lin Yiming, and then Lin Ruoyue!"

Lin Chen's eyes were bloodshot, seemingly radiating boundless rage. This appearance truly frightened Lin Ruoyan.

Just then, other teachers happened to pass by and, upon seeing this, rushed over to stop it.

"Hey student, stop right there! Let go of Teacher Wang!"

The person who came over was a very young male teacher. Lin Chen recognized him; he was their foreign language teacher, and his name was Dong Shouyi.

"Teacher Wang, are you alright?" Dong Shouyi asked Lin Ruoyan with great concern.

"I'm fine, I'm fine." Lin Ruoyan rubbed her neck and glared at Lin Chen.

"This student is outrageous! How dare he choke a teacher in public! Come on, let's go to the Student Affairs Office!" Dong Shouyi tried to take Lin Chen to the Student Affairs Office to deal with the matter.

It was clear that Dong Shouyi liked Lin Ruoyan, and this was a perfect opportunity to show off to his goddess. However, Lin Ruoyan wasn't interested in Dong Shouyi at all. She said, "No need, I'm fine. Mr. Dong, you can go now. I have something to discuss with this student."

“How can that be? Teacher Wang, this student is clearly going to assault you…” Dong Shouyi said anxiously.

"I told you I'm fine, don't you understand? Get out of here right now!"

Lin Ruoyan's emotions also flared up, leaving Dong Shouyi somewhat bewildered, but he could only leave dejectedly.

"I didn't expect there to be so many people who like you and fawn over you?" Lin Chen said with a hint of sarcasm.
