CHAPTER 407: CHAPTER 406: NEVER SHOWING MERCY

"I understand what you mean, but I need to discuss it with the school leaders."

Sun Tiegang only said this much in the end, but Zhen Yu nodded her head in satisfaction and turned to leave.

Watching her retreating figure, Sun Tiegang shook his head helplessly and with a sigh.

Sun Tiegang was not incapable of making the broadcast to report students, but he needed to consult with other school leaders on how to word it to minimize the impact this broadcast would have on the campus.

Some things don’t need to be elaborated upon; people who have tumbled through society for a few years and have some experience can understand it.

But for a girl like Zhen Yu, barely in her teens, to do so is indeed rare.

At this moment, Sun Tiegang truly wanted to know what kind of family could raise such a smart, decisive, and worldly-wise girl. The key is she understands everything! Yet, she does not lower herself to please others! This backbone is genuinely commendable to Old Sun...

Zhen Yu didn’t wait too long. As the bell for the end of the fourth period rang, the school’s broadcast also sounded. A simple sentence brought up Kang Jian and Lu Huai’s fighting during the competition and announced their respective punishments. Zhen Yu’s name wasn’t even mentioned, but at the end of the announcement, the school subtly added: "Affiliated School’s ethos strictly prohibits puppy love! Those who create or spread such rumors will bear the consequences! If the circumstances are serious, the school will take strict action and record it in the student’s permanent record!"

—

Initially, when they heard the content, both the classmates and Teacher Zhao, who hadn’t left the classroom, looked at Lu Huai, and their expressions carried a bit of sympathy since Lu Huai was the one who was provoked. But as soon as everyone heard the words ’puppy love’ and the following passage, all eyes in the classroom immediately shifted to Zhen Yu!

There were several extremely sharp gazes, almost wishing to bore two transparent holes in her!

Zhen Yu had already packed her bag during the announcement and, seeing that everyone was looking at her, she didn’t flinch but straightforwardly stood up from her seat.

"Teacher Zhao, may I use the podium?"

"Ah? Oh, sure!" Teacher Xiao Zhao was stunned for a moment before quickly descending the podium to the classroom door.

However, he didn’t leave but stood at the doorway, staring at the girl on the podium.

Zhen Yu stood at the corner of the podium, her gaze coldly sweeping across the classroom. When everyone quietened down, she shockingly declared: "I requested Director Sun to issue the announcement!"

The students of Class 1 of Fourth Grade immediately burst into an uproar upon hearing this!

But the noise had just started when suddenly a loud "bang!" was heard from the podium.

The classroom went abruptly silent! Including Teacher Zhao, everyone stared with wide-open mouths at the wooden podium that Zhen Yu stomped into collapse!

That must have taken a lot of force...

Zhen Yu gently pulled her foot out of the hole and continued, "Spreading nonsense comes with a price! Don’t tell me about a gentleman who verbally resolves without violence! I have only one principle; if you can settle it by hand, no need for endless chatter!!" Zhen Yu’s speech suddenly paused at this point, her eagle-like eyes fiercely fixed on Gu Qing, then she squeezed through gritted teeth two words!

"Whoever it is! If truly provoked, even if the King himself intervenes, I won’t let her off!"

The guilty Gu Qing felt her heart tighten, barely managing not to lower her head! Yet, her body uncontrollably shivered visibly.

Seeing her subconscious reaction, Zhen Yu immediately scoffed in her heart.

It’s really Gu Qing causing trouble!

The way boys spread rumors and girls slander are completely different styles of behavior!

Zhen Yu, being the ’society person’ she is, almost instantly sniffed out that something was amiss! Besides, Zhen Yu is very sharp, and no matter in class or out of class, Gu Qing was frequently stealing glances at her! If Zhen Yu couldn’t figure out Gu Qing’s intentions, she might as well not live anymore!

——

When school was let out at noon, Zhen Yu also chose to play the role of the bad guy blocking the way.

"You! What are you trying to do?" Li Yueru immediately pulled Gu Qing behind her, and then asked with feigned composure.

"Nothing much! I just have something to tell Gu Qing!"

Gu Qing pursed her lips, gathered her courage, and poked her head out to ask, "What is it?!"

"I never go easy when I hit a woman."

Zhen Yu’s tone was light, but it inexplicably made Li Yueru feel a chill! She stared at Zhen Yu’s retreating back for a long while, then turned around and pulled Gu Qing, who was still lost in thought, and asked, "Did you slip up somewhere? How would she know it was us?"

"I didn’t!" Gu Qing was just thinking about this! How on earth did Zhen Yu figure out that she was involved?! It shouldn’t have been easy to find out...

This morning, a girl in her class who had participated in a competition told Gu Qing about what happened in Harbin. Gu Qing didn’t know what came over her! She knew in her heart that Zhen Yu and Han Mingyue were the actual couple! She also knew Zhen Yu didn’t like Lu Huai! She isn’t her love rival! But she just couldn’t help wanting to see Zhen Yu’s misfortune! Thus, she couldn’t help but want to ’take the opportunity to play it up’...

"Forget it!" Li Yueru said dejectedly, "She’s announcing it to the whole school and even wants to hit people, she didn’t even spare Lu Huai! Let’s just not provoke her anymore!"

Gu Qing silently hung her head, neither nodding nor shaking her head.

Seeing her like this, Li Yueru hesitated for a long time but still didn’t interfere with her. And she secretly decided in her heart never to get involved in this matter again! In case Gu Qing really causes a disaster, at least her stepmother would be there to plead for her, but she herself has no relationship with Zhen Yu!

——

Since they had already left the school grounds, Zhen Yu decided to go check out the new cafe to see how things were progressing.

When she got there, to her surprise, there was no one!

Zhen Yu didn’t know if it was fate or coincidence, but missing such a good opportunity would be too regretful! She hurriedly took out the key, opened the door, and quickly locked it from the inside after entering!

After looking around the bright and clean new cybercafe, Zhen Yu quickly started ’unloading’ in a spacious corner!

After one corner was filled with tower cases, Zhen Yu moved to another spot to place monitors, and finally, she stacked all the accessories in front of the bar, and her task was completed!

"Phew!" Zhen Yu wiped the nonexistent sweat from her forehead, sneaking around and working covertly was incredibly nerve-wracking for her! The thrill of it— it was almost like being a thief!

Working in such a frenzy, half of her lunch break had passed. Zhen Yu quickly walked to the door, thinking about hurrying to buy some ready-made food to take back to school!

But just as she was about to push the door open, she saw Zhang San leading two apprentices about to reach the door.
