The scene the principal saw left him feeling overwhelmed—on both sides were people he couldn’t easily dismiss. If things weren’t handled well, it would definitely become a serious issue. The deputy head teacher quickly rushed over and gave a concise summary of what had happened. "You’re making a fuss out of nothing," the principal exclaimed. "A girl hitting a boy—doesn’t that count as a minor issue? Just send the boy to the medical room, give the girl a good reprimand, and that’s it. Why do you need to involve both sets of parents? Haven’t you been too idle lately? Isn’t it time you showed off your authority in front of the parents? Are you not satisfied with yourself?" "The head of the academic department said with a look of genuine distress: 'It's not like that at all. I know the slender boy who was beaten has strong connections. If I don't promptly inform his parents, what if they find out later? Then we'd be in serious trouble—surely we'd have to absorb the consequences. What I didn't expect was how powerful the girl's brother was. In fact, I had already made up my mind to expel her entirely, just to give the family of the slender boy some relief!'" This gentleman isn't someone else—he's precisely the one who handled the case of the second-rank inspector Zhang and the restaurant owner last time. In recent days, he's been particularly proud of how well he's managed that matter. Yet now, he's surprised to find another incident involving Qin, so swiftly. "Director, isn't it you again?" Qin scoffed. "You know, perhaps we're truly destined to meet after a long journey, or maybe it's more fitting to say we're not meant to be rivals until we meet!" Upon hearing this, the director's heart sank immediately. He smiled politely and said, "As you say. Honestly, I was just passing by here with no particular business. Please go on with your work—let's meet again later!" With that, the director took off at a pace that could easily have chased away a rabbit. "Wait a minute! You've come all this way—why rush off so quickly? Just stay a little longer, wouldn't you?" Qin said with a sarcastic tone. Wheee! Wheee! The couple watched in amazement as the police car arrived, only to retreat back again. This dramatic scene was utterly unacceptable to everyone except Qin Feng and Fang Fei. The middle-aged man with the thick belly had his eyes wide open—wider than a cow's—since he himself had hired the police. Given his long-standing relationship with the bureau chief just mentioned, though not a true friend who'd risk his life for him, he was still a solid, trusted friend over the years. Yet, the chief simply vanished, leaving him here with no support. The woman's prominent facial muscles tightened further; her son had already lost consciousness from pain, despite the school staff having called for emergency medical help. The ambulance would take time to arrive. Outside, a commotion grew louder—she knew her group of allies had arrived. This formidable woman, known as the "Tiger Woman," had built a strong reputation in the local underworld. Now, dozens of her armed associates marched in with strong resolve, sending shockwaves through the school's leadership. If things escalated further with bloodshed, the situation would surely become much worse. "Hmph," she said, "see how you can still act so proud." The woman steadied herself against the chair and was about to issue orders when a man's voice rang out, "You guys, what are you doing here?" The younger men grumbled, turned around, and when they saw who it was, all lowered their heads. Standing behind them were Chen Hu and Chen Bao, the two brothers who had unified the underworld in Pingplain City. With years of leadership under their belts, their tastes had naturally refined—both wore polished suits, and Chen Bao even wore glasses, giving him a real touch of literary grace. Upon seeing their elder brother arrive, the woman raised her voice, shouting, "Brothers Hu and Bao, you've come at the perfect time—we've been attacked by our family!" The brothers paid no attention to her outburst, simply bowed respectfully as they walked past, and then bowed to Qin, the young man, saying, "Mr. Feng, we've come just in time, haven't we?" "Just so-so." Qin Feng glanced at the two of them and said, "If you had arrived just one minute later, this place would have already been in ruins. I've often told you both to remain composed in your dealings—how could you let dozens of young subordinates come all the way to the school to cause a fuss? This is no ordinary place—it's a center for education and nurturing future talents. If you scare the young blossoms of the nation, will you be able to bear the responsibility?" "Bro Hu, Bro Bao, what's going on here?" she asked carefully. Chen Hu slapped her hard on the face and shouted, "Feng Xiao doesn't even know you! From now on, you're out of the game. Hand over your territory and go home to retire!" "Exactly. You've got no sense of judgment at all—unfit to lead your subordinates anymore," Chen Bao added, slapping her on the other side of the face and sneering, "We've told you time and again that in Pingzhuan City, we'd rather offend the gods than Feng Xiao. You've just ignored us, haven't you?" Only then did Hu Jie realize that someone had shown her a photo recently, instructing her to remember that face—never to conflict with that person, no matter when. Now it made sense—the face in the photo was exactly the same as the one before her, Qin Feng. "Bro Hu, Bro Bao, I'm sorry. Please forgive me this time," Hu Jie said, bowing down and kneeling on the ground. Chen Bao gave her two more slaps and said, "You've lost your chance now. Listen to all of you, and get out of here right away. Never come back again—otherwise, I'll see you once and punish you once!"
