Chapter 96

As soon as he saw the gun, Zhu Guangcong's heart rate doubled in fear, nearly causing him to faint. He hurriedly said, "Brother Qiang... You can rest assured, I know what to do!"

"Don't be scared, I'm sorry, I was just looking for a cigarette," Han Sanqiang said, putting the fake gun back in his pocket.

"Both of you, I... I don't smoke. I still have to go back to the meeting. You can rest assured, I will ensure that nothing goes wrong with these two students. Yes, I'll take care of it right away!" Zhu Guangcong really didn't want to stay there for a moment longer.

"Alright, we won't force you, Director Zhu," Han Sanqiang said calmly, "But Director Zhu, if things don't go well, the next time you step out of this school gate, I guarantee you won't be able to come back!"

Damn! This is a blatant threat!

Zhu Guangcong didn't dare to say anything, hurriedly got out of the car, and then said to Qin Lang and Zhao Kan with a gentle smile, "Students, what's going on?"

"Sun Bo wants to expel us," Zhao Kan said.

"This Sun Bo is really being unreasonable!" Zhu Guangcong put on a fair and just demeanor, angrily saying, "What right does Sun Bo have to expel one, no, two students! Come on, I want to see who gave him such audacity!"

Qin Lang gave Zhao Kan a faint smile.

When Qin Lang, Zhao Kan, and Zhu Guangcong arrived at the classroom, Sun Bo was teaching.

Thinking about the constant threat to his life, Zhu Guangcong didn't hesitate and directly rushed to the podium, pointing at Sun Bo's nose and said, "Sun Bo! What's wrong with you! As a teacher, your primary responsibility is to educate and nurture students. How can you talk about expelling students? You should know that expelling a student is a very serious matter! Besides, you are just a teacher. To expel a student, it must go through the school administration, not just your decision! Do you think No. 7 High School is your family business..."

Sun Bo didn't expect his uncle to scold him so harshly. He said dejectedly, "I was just about to report to the school administration and to you."

"Report? Where did you report? I haven't seen your report!"

Zhu Guangcong clearly didn't plan to let Sun Bo off easily, "Sun Bo, Sun Bo, even though you are my relative, I, Zhu Guangcong, always stand for justice, not family ties. Your current behavior is very problematic! As a teacher, you should know what you should and shouldn't do. You keep talking about disciplining and expelling students. If disciplining and expelling could achieve the goal of education, those mediocre high schools would have long surpassed No. 7 High School! Sun Bo, since you like to discipline people, today I will discipline you—I will propose to the school that, given your recent behavior, you receive a reprimand!"

"What, you want to discipline me?" Sun Bo really didn't expect his uncle to take such a drastic action.

"Of course!" Zhu Guangcong said firmly, for the sake of his own safety, he had to make an example of Sun Bo.

Then, Zhu Guangcong put on a kind and friendly face again and said to Qin Lang and Zhao Kan, "Students, continue your class. In the future, you should also follow the school rules, but if you receive unfair treatment from a teacher, you are welcome to file a complaint."

After saying this, Zhu Guangcong ignored Sun Bo, whose face was ashen.

Sun Bo was extremely angry and was about to explode, but he didn't dare to, because Zhu Guangcong was not only the school's head of discipline but also his uncle and elder. So, both professionally and personally, Sun Bo didn't dare to confront Zhu Guangcong. Of course, he also didn't dare to confront Qin Lang and Zhao Kan, as Zhu Guangcong was clearly supporting them.

"The rest of the class will be self-study!" Sun Bo, extremely angry, had no choice but to leave the classroom.

"Yay!" When Sun Bo left the classroom, a cheer went up.

Students who had been long suppressed occasionally needed to release their emotions.

***

The last class of the afternoon was physical education.

Qin Lang poured all his energy and sweat onto the soccer field, using this method to adjust his emotions and forget the complex feelings brought by Luo Bin's departure.

"Damn! Qin Lang, can you slow down a bit? This isn't a formal match, we're just playing for fun. Why are you running so hard?" Zhao Kan reminded Qin Lang.

But Qin Lang seemed not to hear Zhao Kan's words and ran even faster. What puzzled Zhao Kan was that sometimes Qin Lang didn't even chase the ball, he just ran for the sake of running. This puzzled Zhao Kan, but thinking about Luo Bin's departure, Zhao Kan roughly understood Qin Lang's current state of mind.

Back when Zhao Kan met Zhou Lingling at Pure Beauty Bay, the feeling was worse than death.

Even now, whenever he saw or thought about Zhou Lingling, Zhao Kan's heart still ached.

However, Zhao Kan genuinely admired Qin Lang's endurance, as he didn't stop running for the entire class, almost like a wild bull in heat.

By the end of the class, Qin Lang was drenched in sweat, with steam seemingly rising from his hair, indicating the intensity of his exercise.

"Alright, stop running. I know you're upset," Zhao Kan comforted Qin Lang, "Let's get some cold drinks, my treat!"

Just as Zhao Kan finished speaking, a slender girl ran over and handed a bottle of iced cola to Qin Lang, "Qin Lang, you really put in a lot of effort playing soccer. Drink this to replenish your fluids... and here's a towel to wipe your sweat, so you don't catch a cold later..."

Zhao Kan rubbed his eyes, confirming that he hadn't mistaken the person. The girl who brought Qin Lang the drink and towel was Jiang Xueqing, a school beauty on par with Luo Bin in terms of beauty.

"What kind of luck does this guy have! Just got dumped by one school beauty, and another one picks him up right away!"

Zhao Kan was incredibly jealous, thinking that life was truly unfair. Qin Lang's good fortune with women was really something, while he, Zhao Kan, had suffered so much and still had no one to comfort his wounded heart.

In fact, Zhao Kan's guess was quite accurate, because Jiang Xueqing was indeed "waiting for an opportunity."

The last time Jiang Xueqing appeared and then disappeared was only because of Luo Bin. In the entire No. 7 High School, the only person who could put pressure on Jiang Xueqing was Luo Bin, because she not only had a beautiful face but also a high IQ and musical talent, making Jiang Xueqing feel inferior in her presence. So, after learning that Qin Lang and Luo Bin were close, Jiang Xueqing decisively forced herself to give up, until she found out that Luo Bin was going abroad.
