After getting three months' leave from Qin Ming, Yu Tianlin took Ye Lingling back to Thunderbolt Academy that very day.
By the time the two of them arrived at Thunderbolt Academy, it was already a little late. The academy was silent, and there wasn't a single person on the road.
Yu Tianlin had a clear goal. He did not return to his own dorm first, but instead took Ye Lingling to the dean's apartment to find Vice Dean Lei Bao and pull some strings.
The lights were still on in the dean's apartment, which meant Lei Bao had not gone to rest yet, so Yu Tianlin did not have to worry about disturbing him. He walked straight up and knocked on the door.
"Young Master Tianlin." The one who opened the door was a maid. Seeing that the visitor was Yu Tianlin, she naturally gave a bow, then said, "You're here to see Dean Lei, right? He's in the study on the second floor right now. I'll take you there."
Yu Tianlin nodded to the maid. "Mm, sorry to trouble you."
The maid smiled reservedly, then turned and led the way. Although she was somewhat curious about Yu Tianlin bringing a girl to visit Lei Bao late at night, her good professional upbringing kept her from asking.
Lei Bao's dean's apartment was fairly large, so he had no choice but to hire a few servants to help manage it. Along the way, Yu Tianlin ran into several people who bowed to him one after another, and Yu Tianlin nodded in response.
After they arrived outside the study on the second floor, the maid knocked three times, and they heard Lei Bao's voice come from inside. "Is something the matter? Come in."
Only then did the maid push open the door.
