Zhou Mingyan finally caught He Lingchuan red-handed and excitedly stretched out his hand: "Did you hear that? He himself said he didn't have one. He doesn't have a report card, so how did you come to class?"
He Lingchuan leaned against the wall, looking at him leisurely: "Because this class was specially opened by Professor Zhao for me."
"That's impossible."
"Professor Zhao has always been supervising graduate students, how could it be a class specifically for you?"
"You should at least have some logic when you lie."
He Lingchuan chuckled and looked at Professor Zhao: "You tell them."
Professor Zhao glanced at them and made up his mind: "What's impossible about this? I stopped supervising graduate students the year before last. If He Lingchuan hadn't come back to study, I wouldn't have started this class at all."
Professor Zhao's skill in satirizing people is second to none; he can make students cry with just a few words.
Now, facing these ungrateful students, he showed no mercy: "You all made my class possible entirely because of He Lingchuan, and now you say he has a problem? I think the problem is with you."
Professor Zhao put his hands behind his back and said, "Now it's all settled. You don't need to argue about who got in through connections and who got in through the entrance exam. I'm going to find the principal right now. Except for He Lingchuan, I won't teach any of them."
Professor Zhao pushed open the door and left, his lips drooping and his eyes devoid of any warmth.
Only He Lingchuan and his classmates remained in the large laboratory. He spread his hands and asked calmly, "Do you have anything else to say?"
He looked at these people with a hint of schadenfreude: "I told you long ago not to go too far, you couldn't bear the consequences, but you didn't believe me."
He Lingchuan's gaze shifted from these people to Zhou Mingyan's face: "This is the consequence of using others as pawns, and being used as a pawn by others."
He Lingchuan waved to them, signaling them to leave: "I need to start my experiment now, can you go?"
"
It was only at this point that they realized the seriousness of the situation.
They blocked the doorway and showed no sign of leaving.
He Lingchuan, puzzled, looked them up and down and said, "I said I'm going to do an experiment, you can leave now."
These people were pushing each other, as if they had something to say to each other.
He Lingchuan waited patiently for a long time but they didn't speak, so he could only ask, "Do you have something to say? If not, please leave."
As He Lingchuan spoke, he pushed their shoulders, but they grabbed his shoulders instead.
The male classmate who had just been so aggressive now pleaded with him with a mournful expression: "Since you're so familiar with Professor Zhao, you must know him better than we do. Tell me, was what Professor Zhao just said true or false?"
He Lingchuan tilted his head slightly, straightened his body, and looked down at them: "Scared?"
They looked at each other and nodded.
"We don't want to drop out of school."
"What will we do if Professor Zhao really stops taking us?"
"I came to this school specifically because of Professor Zhao. If he doesn't mentor us, who will we learn from in the future?"
They muttered with their heads down, their voices filled with sorrow.
He Lingchuan couldn't help but chuckle and looked at Zhou Mingyan: "Follow him, didn't he send you here? He caused you to miss your schooling, so of course you should go find Zhou Mingyan."
Upon hearing He Lingchuan's words, they suddenly realized what was going on.
They all rushed to Zhou Mingyan, demanding an explanation.
"If you hadn't been so clever, Professor Zhao wouldn't have been angry at all."
"You must go and apologize to Professor Zhao and make up for our losses."
Zhou Mingyan was surrounded by these students. He tried to leave, but they grabbed his shoulders and wrists.
Zhou Mingyan's voice was serious: "What does this have to do with me? I didn't force you to come and watch the show."
Zhou Mingyan raised his head and met He Lingchuan's eyes: "He Lingchuan, you've harmed me. What does this have to do with me? It was clearly you who whispered in Professor Zhao's ear."
He Lingchuan crossed his arms and looked at him with a hint of schadenfreude: "Instead of wasting your time yelling at me here, you should think about how to give them an explanation."
He Lingchuan stood aside watching them attack Zhou Mingyan, guessing that the experiment would be impossible to conduct, so he could only shut down the machine for now.
It's a good opportunity for him to take on side jobs and save up enough money sooner, which will make him feel more at ease.
He Lingchuan pushed open the door, just about to hail a taxi, when he received a call from Teacher Nan Chen and Teacher Bei Chen.
Thinking they had been bullied at school again, He Lingchuan's first words were full of hostility: "What happened?"
The person on the other end was clearly stunned for a few seconds. He Lingchuan could hear rapid breathing coming from the other side, which sounded like someone was running.
"Teacher Nan Chen? Say something."
He Lingchuan gradually lost his patience; his first thought was that something had happened to the two children.
The other person, however, asked him where Nan Chen was.
He Lingchuan frowned, hailed a taxi, and headed towards the kindergarten.
"Nan Chen and Bei Chen have always been at your school, so how come you don't know where the children are?"
He had specifically asked Shen Yanxi that morning, and Shen Yanxi clearly told him that the two children were at school.
“That’s not right. Nan Chen and Bei Chen haven’t been to school for several days. We couldn’t reach their mothers, and I finally managed to find your number so I called you.”
The teacher sounded somewhat dissatisfied, especially when mentioning investment funds.
“Dad, we know that ten million is not a small amount, but this was originally an investment fund that our school fought for. If you hadn’t insisted on getting justice for the two children, you wouldn’t have been able to take this ten million. Now, not only are you not giving us the money, but you’ve also hidden the two children. Tell me, you’ve put our school in a very difficult position.”
He Lingchuan understood the teacher's implied meaning, and his grip on the phone tightened: "You mean, I deliberately evaded my debts?"
The person on the other end of the line clearly panicked, and she quickly shook her head: "I didn't say that, but the problem is that the child is indeed not with us, and we haven't received the money either."
He kept emphasizing the amount of investment; He Lingchuan's mind was completely occupied with his child.
He first tried to appease the teacher, then coldly said, "I won't shortchange you a single penny, provided you find the child for me."
"But he didn't come himself..."
"Stop talking nonsense."
He Lingchuan interrupted him mercilessly: "If it's really as you say, and they haven't been to school for several days, couldn't you have called me sooner? You're calling me now not for the children, but because you haven't received the money."
He Lingchuan didn't give the other party a chance to speak, and warned him in a low voice: "I'm going to the school to find you right now. If you can't give me an explanation, I will definitely make sure your school goes out of business."
