“I did nothing wrong, so why can’t I come out?” Gu Yu retorted.
"This..." The old principal was stunned. Gu Yu injured six students in the class and caused one student to be unable to speak for the rest of his life. How could he not be at fault? Moreover, he was also suspected of an extortion case.
"Principal, I want to ask you a question: why was I expelled?" Gu Yu went straight to the point, since the principal was the most powerful person in the school.
"You showed no respect for your elders at school, assaulted your classmates, expelling you would be too lenient," the principal said. These were all Gu Yu's crimes! To be honest, he had never encountered a student like this in his entire teaching career.
"Hehe..." Gu Yu chuckled, "Principal, did you witness these things yourself?"
"This..." The principal didn't know how to answer. He had only heard it from his subordinates; how could he have seen it with his own eyes?
“Everything requires evidence. Aren’t you wondering why I was able to get out unscathed? That’s because I’m innocent. If you don’t believe me, you can call the head of the law enforcement bureau,” Gu Yu said.
"This..." The principal hesitated for a moment. Making a phone call to the director of the law enforcement bureau was giving him too much credit! Putting aside whether he had the director's phone number, the most important thing was that even if he did call, the director probably wouldn't answer, since the director didn't know him.
"By the way, I know you can't do these things yourself; you just listened to what your subordinates said. I'd like to know who told you about my actions?" Gu Yu asked.
"It's Director Zhang, not everyone says that," the principal said.
"Hehe... It seems I really need to report this to the law enforcement bureau. Otherwise, these people are slandering me every day, which makes me very uncomfortable. I don't want to suffer such a great injustice. What do you think, Principal?" Gu Yu asked the principal.
"This..." The principal was stunned for a moment, but then he realized something. From the moment Gu Yu entered the room, Gu Yu had been questioning him word by word. He didn't know why he had fallen into Gu Yu's questioning, which made him very passive and he didn't know what to say.
"You've already been fired, there's no point in doing this anymore."
"Is that so?" Gu Yu's face was somewhat gloomy. "Perhaps that's true for you. Anyway, I'm insignificant. But have you ever thought that this one decision will completely change my life? For me, this is a huge deal."
These words had been stuck in Gu Yu's heart since his past life. Even if he was a convict, he should at least be given a chance! Unfortunately, he wasn't.
“You were wrong first. There are laws in society and school rules in school. These cannot be violated,” the principal said. He wanted to give Gu Yu a chance, but Gu Yu made mistakes again and again, and each mistake was bigger than the last.
“In that case, bring those people over. I want to have a good chat with them,” Gu Yu said.
"This is a school, not your home. Please understand that." The principal was slightly angered upon hearing Gu Yu's words.
"Alright." Gu Yu nodded, took out his phone, and made a call in front of the principal.
"Young Master Gu, what are your orders?" The phone was answered immediately after only one ring. "Young Master Gu, the battle sword you requested has been forged. When would you like to come and see it?"
"Old Mo, I need your help with something," Gu Yu said.
"What kind of help?" Motai asked, surprised.
"I would like to ask the director of the law enforcement bureau to come to Mocheng No. 2 Middle School," Gu Yu said.
"Okay, I'll take care of it right away." Mo Tai agreed readily. Asking Luo Nanshan to go to Mocheng No. 2 Middle School was not a difficult task.
"Hurry up." Gu Yu said, then hung up the phone.
At this moment, the principal's gaze was fixed on Gu Yu. He was somewhat shocked, as he knew the name Luo Nanshan.
"Principal, please wait a moment. Luo Nanshan should be here soon," Gu Yu said to the principal.
"You mean Luo Nanshan? The director of the law enforcement bureau?" the principal asked, somewhat incredulously.
“Yes,” Gu Yu replied.
"Who exactly are you?" the principal asked, suddenly becoming suspicious of Gu Yu's identity.
“I’m just an ordinary person,” Gu Yu replied.
Just then, there was a knock on the principal's office door.
"Come in," the principal said, and then the office door opened.
“Principal, Gu Yu is back, and…” Director Zhang said as soon as he entered the door, and then he saw Gu Yu and was stunned.
"Who was injured?" the principal asked.
"Feng Bing was injured; his ankle was shattered," Director Zhang said, looking at Gu Yu.
"What?" The principal frowned, then looked at Gu Yu. He said he did nothing wrong, so how could he have broken Feng Bing's ankle?
"Wait!" The principal suddenly realized something. "You mean Feng Bing?"
He recognized Feng Bing, the runner-up in the city's Sanda competition. Although he wasn't a martial artist, he had the potential to become one. Yet, Gu Yu had broken his ankle. Seeing Gu Yu standing unharmed in his office, he suddenly realized something.
"Yes, he injured Feng Bing," Director Zhang said. To be honest, he was also quite surprised when he first heard about it. Gu Yu could injure Feng Bing? That seemed absurd! But the facts were undeniable, and he had no choice but to believe them.
"You injured Feng Bing?" the principal asked Gu Yu.
"He blocked my way, spoke disrespectfully, and even attacked me first, so I just taught him a lesson. I didn't expect him to be so easily defeated," Gu Yu said casually.
"Are you a martial artist?" the principal asked again. Being able to injure Feng Bing meant that he had very likely already entered the ranks of martial artists.
"I guess so!" Gu Yu said after thinking for a moment. He could no longer be called a martial artist; he had to be called a grandmaster.
"A martial artist, what a pity!" The principal was suddenly stunned. Although he had guessed it, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful after hearing Gu Yu's answer. This year, their school was supposed to have three students enter the Dragon Division, but now it has become two. If he had known that Gu Yu was already a martial artist, he would have defied the world and kept Gu Yu. It was such a pity.
"You've actually become a martial artist?" Director Zhang looked equally incredulous.
"Is it difficult?" Gu Yu murmured. Becoming a martial artist is very simple; all you need to do is fill one blood aperture. He can now help anyone fill one blood aperture in a short time.
"Even if you become a martial artist, you can't be arrogant and domineering. This is a school." Hearing Gu Yu's words, Director Zhang felt that Gu Yu was too arrogant.
"Since you know this is a school, then please tell those teachers and students who provoke me that this is not a place for them to act arrogantly and recklessly," Gu Yu retorted.
"You..." Director Zhang was speechless, his face flushed red. "This is a school, and I am the director of the Academic Affairs Office. I am ordering you to leave here immediately. I have already reported this to the enforcement team."
“This is a school, not your home. The principal hasn’t spoken yet, so who gave you the right to speak?” Gu Yu said. As for calling the law enforcement team, Luo Nanshan would be here soon. What was he afraid of?
Just then, an alarm sounded outside, and a law enforcement vehicle drove into the school.
"Hmph! Let's see how long you can be so arrogant." After saying that, Director Zhang walked outside.
Since Yang Dong became the deputy captain of the law enforcement team, he has rarely received reports of crimes. When he suddenly heard someone report that an outsider had broken into the school and injured a teacher, he came immediately. This was a big case. Someone dared to do such a thing in his jurisdiction. It was simply lawless.
"Captain, you've finally arrived!" Director Zhang scurried out, beaming with excitement. He had expected it to be Deputy Captain Hu, but instead, a captain he didn't recognize appeared. He knew the man was the captain because he was wearing a captain's uniform, albeit a deputy captain's uniform. But who wants to be called deputy captain? Everyone wants to be the captain.
"Did you report the case?" Yang Dong asked Director Zhang.
"Yes," Director Zhang replied.
"Where is he?" Yang Dong asked.
"Isn't that it?" At this moment, Gu Yu and the principal came out, and Director Zhang immediately pointed at Gu Yu and said.
"Arrest..." Just as Yang Dong was about to say "arrest," he suddenly saw Gu Yu's face clearly and immediately stopped himself from saying the rest of the words.
"Young Master Gu, what brings you here?" To Zhang Zhuyi's surprise, Yang Dong jogged up to Gu Yu's side and asked respectfully.
"It's you?" Gu Yu looked at Yang Dong. He remembered this person; he had just met him yesterday when buying a house. What was his name again? He couldn't quite recall.
"Young Master Gu, it's rare that you still remember me." Yang Dong was somewhat excited to see that Gu Yu actually remembered him.
Director Zhang's face was rather grim at this moment. He hadn't expected that Gu Yu would know this deputy captain. No wonder he was able to get out so quickly.
"You've come at the right time. I need you all. Has Luo Nanshan arrived yet?" Gu Yu asked Yang Dong.
"Director?" Yang Dong was taken aback. The director hadn't said he was coming.
"Since he hasn't come, let's wait for him!" Gu Yu said. "By the way, someone attacked me. I was acting in self-defense and accidentally injured his ankle. I should be fine, right?"
"It's alright, it's alright," Yang Dong immediately said. "Young Master Gu, who is this person? I'll take him back and question him properly. Why did he attack Young Master Gu? Did he have ulterior motives?"
Although Yang Dong said this, he was thinking to himself, "Who's so blind to mess with this guy? Isn't this like a grandfather who's tired of living?"
Gu Yu ignored Yang Dong and waited quietly. He would not leave until he was given an explanation for what had happened today. Although he did not care about this place, he would leave on his own, not be fired. As for why he had such a deep obsession, it was closely related to his experiences in his previous life.
Because of this, Gu Yu lived in a daze for more than ten years and regretted his parents for more than ten years.
Soon after, a large number of law enforcement vehicles arrived, followed by seven or eight military vehicles.
A hundred law enforcement officers and guards entered the school, especially the guards, who were carrying rifles.
Seeing this spectacle, even the principal and Director Zhang, who were both quite old, had never seen anything like it.
Of course, this action attracted the attention of many students and teachers, who stood on the windowsill and looked down at the scene.
Luo Nanshan and Mo Tai walked over side by side, their expressions serious.
When Gu Yu called Mo Tai, Mo Tai immediately sensed something was wrong. He wasn't actually afraid of anything Gu Yu might do; there was probably no one in the entire Mo City who could do anything to Gu Yu. He was worried about what others might do. If Gu Yu was angered and killed someone, things would get complicated. After all, some things couldn't be made public, and if the hidden families behind Gu Yu were really exposed, things would get out of control. Luo Nanshan had the same thought.
"Young Master Gu, are you alright?" The two men approached Gu Yu and asked in unison.
This left the principal and Director Zhang utterly shocked once again. These were two of the biggest figures in Mo City! They actually addressed Gu Yu as "Young Master Gu"? Just who was this Gu Yu?
"It's nothing." To be honest, Gu Yu was also a little surprised. Mo Tai and Luo Nanshan had made quite a scene.
"Lu Yao, who exactly is he?" Guo Xiu, who was peering out the window, asked Lu Yao.
"I don't know." Lu Yao was shocked. She knew Gu Yu as a poor man who had to be careful with his meals. She never expected that Gu Yu could get two big shots, Mo Tai and Luo Nanshan, to come out at the same time.
You should know that although her family has some money, it's nothing in the grand scheme of things in Mocheng.
Her expression was somewhat complicated at this moment. If she had known that Gu Yu had this ability, perhaps she wouldn't have done it. After all, she could see that Gu Yu had genuinely liked her before.
"I'm fine, I just want justice," Gu Yu said.
"A few days ago in PE class..." Gu Yu began to recount, while the people around him listened attentively.
"I don't understand. Someone insulted my father, someone attacked me, why can't I fight back? Am I just too weak to speak up?" Gu Yu said with some emotion. That's right, these were all grievances he suffered in his previous life. He originally planned to drop out of school today, but he learned that he had already been expelled. He couldn't tolerate it. It was a small matter, but for him, it was a big deal.
What if he were still an unknown nobody like in his previous life?
He was humiliated on the playground, then beaten, then by the academic affairs office, then in the hallway, then in his class, and even by Feng Bing. In the end, he was expelled. Why should he be treated like this?
Perhaps this outpouring of his thoughts triggered a resonance with his past life memories, causing Gu Yu to involuntarily exude a menacing aura that made those around him instinctively back away.
"Grandmaster?" The most terrified was Mo Tai. He hadn't expected that Gu Yu would become a Grandmaster in just a few days. He himself had been a Grandmaster before, so his intuition was probably right.
Gu Yu was able to kill a Grandmaster-level mutated leopard when he was close to becoming a Grandmaster. How terrifying would Gu Yu be if he became a Grandmaster? Most importantly, Gu Yu is too young. How terrifying would a Grandmaster who is so young be in the future?
Mo City has hope now. His choice was right. Over the years, there have been some things that Mo City dared not do or strive for, and could only silently observe the changes, precisely because Mo City had no Grandmasters.
"I, the deputy commander of the guard, have been wronged so much. I will not rest until justice is served!" Mo Tai's voice was loud and clear to everyone around him, including some students and teachers who were peering out of the school building windows.
Deputy Commander of the Guard? Gu Yu? Come to think of it, how old is Gu Yu?
The principal's face was very unpleasant. Who would have thought that Gu Yu had this connection? No wonder Mo Tai and Luo Nanshan came in person. As for Director Zhang, his face was pale and beads of sweat were forming on his forehead. He had been involved in Gu Yu's affairs and had even received money from him.
"Bring all the relevant people here immediately, I want to question them," Luo Nanshan said to the law enforcement team behind him.
He could tell that if things weren't resolved perfectly today, the situation would likely never end, and he could sense Gu Yu's anger.
"Call Xie Wen immediately and tell him to come," Mo Tai said. Who is Xie Wen? Xie Wen is the director of the Education Bureau of Mocheng, and all the schools in Mocheng are under his jurisdiction.
Soon after, Lu Yao, Guo Xiu, Wang Bin, Teacher Jiang, and Teacher Lü were all brought over, along with Li Zhu, the security guard from the school's security department.
The incident happened suddenly, but most of them knew why they had been brought here.
“Principal! It was Wang Bin who gave me two packs of good cigarettes and threatened me, saying that if I didn’t do what he said, he would fire me. That’s why I deleted the surveillance footage!” Li Zhu said as soon as he came up. He had never seen such a scene before. He was a little flustered and scared, especially since the soldiers were holding rifles.
"You're spouting nonsense!" Wang Bin exclaimed, furious. He hadn't expected Li Zhu to betray him so easily.
“Principal, gentlemen, I didn’t. Those two packs of good cigarettes are still in my dorm! I haven’t been able to bear smoking them,” Li Zhu said. “Now there’s fingerprint detection technology, right? Those two packs of cigarettes definitely have his fingerprints on them.”
"You're talking nonsense." Wang Bin was furious. If those two packs of cigarettes were still there, they would definitely have his fingerprints on them, there was no doubt about that.
"Whoever talks nonsense will have their mother die." Li Zhu was anxious. He was not well-educated and didn't know what to say.
“Chief, the surveillance footage was deleted less than a month ago, so we can restore it,” an enforcement officer said to Luo Nanshan.
"Restore it immediately," Luo Nanshan said.
“If you don’t tell the truth now, what will happen when the surveillance footage comes out…” Luo Nanshan said, looking at the group.
Hearing that the surveillance footage could be restored, Wang Bin panicked. The surveillance cameras on the playground recorded the whole incident, and once it was repaired and made public, he, Wang Bin, would be in big trouble.
“I was the one who hit Gu Yu first.” Wang Bin thought for a moment, lowered his head, and said indignantly, “He beat up a female classmate during class. As a teacher, how could I just stand by and do nothing?”
His words did make some sense, which caused everyone present to turn their gazes toward Gu Yu.
“What you said is true, but why did you insist afterward that I assaulted you? You were the one who attacked me the whole time; I was just defending myself.” Gu Yu asked Wang Bin, “Why did you still attack me when we got to the academic affairs office? Just because you’re a teacher, does that give you that right? Besides, you’re not my PE teacher.”
