Lin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, as he had a past grudge with Wei Dayong, and now these two together were definitely up to no good.

"Lin Chen, how come you have the guts to hit someone but not the courage to admit it?" Wei Dayong's face was cold as he stared at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen stood up from his seat, "I hit him, so what's the problem?"

Seeing Lin Chen's nonchalant demeanor, Wei Dayong sneered, "I knew it was you. It's one thing that your poor grades drag the whole class down, and now you're assaulting new students, you're like a rotten fish that spoils the whole pot."

Hearing Wei Dayong's provocative words, Lin Chen knew this guy must be in cahoots with Tang Yun.

"Lin Chen! Apologize to Tang Yun immediately," Wei Dayong snorted and raised his voice.

Tang Yun stood aside, watching Lin Chen with a mocking look, a face full of smugness.

"It was he who broke the school rules by driving recklessly and nearly hitting me, he should apologize first," Lin Chen retorted without showing weakness.

"Lin Chen, you dare to talk back to a teacher!" Wei Dayong was furious and slammed the desk.

Lin Chen's voice also turned cold, "Teacher, I am not talking back, I am just stating the facts of the matter."

Wei Dayong wanted to please Tang Yun; he knew that the harder he pressed Lin Chen, the happier Tang Yun would be, and in the future Tang's family might speak well of him, and he could even land a vice-principal position.

"Fine, Lin Chen, I didn't expect that not only are your grades poor, but your character is also despicable. You're becoming more and more like those hoodlums in society," Wei Dayong snorted coldly.

Lin Chen's gaze turned icy, "Teacher Wei, I respect you as a teacher and that's why I've shown you courtesy. If you continue to harass me like this, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Wei Dayong had not expected Lin Chen to dare to challenge him openly and was immediately enraged, "You being impolite to me, you're really turning against me, you get out, this temple can't accommodate a deity like you."

Lin Chen sneered, "You don't have the qualifications to expel me, unless the principal does it himself. Otherwise, I won't leave."

Wei Dayong pointed at Lin Chen, shaking, "Good, good, you just wait."

Seeing Lin Chen openly defy Wei Dayong, the classroom erupted into a buzz of shock.

"Lin Chen is done for, actually standing up against Wei Zhongxian."

"This guy is too rash, now that Wei Zhongxian has something on him, he's definitely not going to end up well."

Although Lin Chen wasn't very good academically, he had good relationships, so many classmates were secretly worried for him.

Tang Yun narrowed his eyes, watching the conflict between Lin Chen and Wei Dayong, but seeing Lin Chen's confident expression, he became more and more certain that Lin Chen had an unusual relationship with the principal.

Of course, Tang Yun knew that even if Wei Dayong went to the principal, the principal wouldn't expel Lin Chen, but he didn't say anything and just stood by, watching the drama unfold.

Lin Chen let out a cold laugh and sat down, "Fine, I'll wait."

A joke, huh! He had the backing of the Dragon Group, and city leaders had already given their greetings; even Tang Yun hadn't managed to get Lin Chen expelled from school, so how could a mere teacher like him?

"Lin Chen, you just wait, if I don't get you expelled, I am no longer your teacher," Wei Dayong blustered.

Fuming, Wei Dayong stormed into the principal's office, "Principal Yang, I can't teach this student Lin Chen anymore. He not only beats up newcomers but also openly defies teachers. He must be expelled today."

Yang Bo looked up at Wei Dayong and frowned, having just sent Tang Yun away, and now here was Wei Dayong, stirring up trouble too.

"Teacher Wei, I've been informed about the fight. As a teacher, we need to be patient with our students. Educating and instructing students is our duty. If there is a problem, we should just expel the student; then what are we teachers for?"

Hearing Principal Yang's words, Wei Dayong was momentarily stunned, as this was not Principal Yang's usual style.

According to Wei Dayong's wishes, even if Lin Chen couldn't be expelled this time, he must at least be disciplined, but Wei never imagined that the principal seemed to be speaking on Lin Chen's behalf.

However, Wei Dayong had already made a bold claim, and if he couldn't make an example of Lin Chen this time, where would he put his face in the future?

So, he intensified his tone and said, "Principal Yang, it's either Lin Chen leaves Class Three Year Two today, or I do."

Hearing Wei Dayong's somewhat threatening words, Principal Yang's face darkened slightly: "Mr. Wei, as I've said just now, let's leave the matter at that. If you keep dwelling on this, then I'm sorry, it's better that you leave instead!"

Yang Bo didn't like Wei Dayong to begin with, mediocre in teaching abilities but causing a lot of trouble.

Yang Bo had received numerous complaints about Wei Dayong soliciting bribes from parents and verbally abusing underperforming students, but considering his father was a veteran of the school, Yang Bo forcefully suppressed the incidents.

Stunned by Yang Bo's reply, Wei Dayong never expected the principal to protect Lin Chen like this, and even with his slower wits, he knew there must be an unusual relationship between Lin Chen and the principal.

"No wonder the kid is so arrogant," Wei Dayong, admitting his mistake to the principal, stormed back to the classroom in a rage.

Wei Dayong stood at the podium with a gloomy face, and many thought Lin Chen would be directly expelled.

But unexpectedly, after Wei Dayong arranged a seat for Tang Yun, he didn't mention expelling Lin Chen at all.

"Alright, class is starting," Wei Dayong said with a somber face, taking out his textbook.

All the students were waiting for a storm to break, but were met with a defeated look on Wei Dayong's face.

The students didn't need to guess to know that Wei Dayong had hit a snag with Principal Yang.

"My goodness, Lin Chen is simply incredible, to have wooed the two most popular girls and to talk back to Wei Zhongxian and still come out unscathed," the students whispered.

Everyone looking at Lin Chen did so with a mix of awe, and not only the boys regarded Lin Chen as an idol.

They knew that Lin Chen was no longer the easy target he had been two months ago; the current Lin Chen's background was lofty and inscrutable, able to draw the two most popular girls into his embrace, completely overshadowing the usually arrogant rich second-generation students.

With Wei Dayong no longer troubling him, Lin Chen was happy to enjoy the peace.

Lin Chen flipped through the textbook and suddenly froze because he realized that he had imprinted the knowledge in the book in his mind after just one look.

Bear in mind that he had always ranked near the bottom of his class, and the books had been as indecipherable as celestial texts.

Lin Chen quickly finished the book in his hands. Astonishingly, he had imprinted the entire senior year curriculum in his mind in less than half an hour.

This was too awesome; with this ability, becoming a top student would be an easy feat.

The more Wei Dayong thought about it, the angrier he got. He had intended to show off in front of Tang Yun, but instead, he had utterly embarrassed himself.

He stared at Lin Chen with resentment, only to see that Lin Chen wasn't paying attention to the lecture but was looking down at something.

Wei Dayong sneered coldly with a scheme in mind: "Lin Chen!"

While Lin Chen was flipping through the textbook, he heard Wei Dayong calling his name.

At that moment, all eyes turned to Lin Chen, and it was clear without guessing that Wei Dayong was looking for trouble.

Lin Chen closed the textbook and stood up, turning his gaze toward Wei Dayong at the podium.

"Lin Chen, you tell me how to solve the problem I just discussed," Wei Dayong said with a sinister smile on his face.
