Yu Wan'er was panicking.
Ye Mengyao's words had pierced the deepest vulnerability in her heart.
In that instant, the young girl felt as though her heart had been laid bare and peeled open.
"Sister Yaoyao, how could you think that? How could I possibly like Jiang Che?"
The smile on Yu Wan'er's face was slightly stiff.
Yet a voice involuntarily rose from the depths of her heart: Did she really not like him?
Clearly, it was impossible for her to have no feelings for Jiang Che.
Although she hated Jiang Che and wished she could leap up and bite him to death, she had to admit... she really did like Jiang Che too!
"Oh, Wan'er, then I'm relieved. If you liked Jiang Che... then I'd back out. Since you don't like Jiang Che... then I'll definitely win him over."
Ye Mengyao raised an arm to cheer herself on, her gaze becoming even more resolute.
But she did not see... the lost and desolate expression on Yu Wan'er's face.
At noon, homeroom teacher Zhu Yong entered the classroom.
"I have something to announce! This afternoon, provincial leaders will be coming to our school for a secret inspection. You all need to be careful!"
"If you run into people wearing administrative jackets, carrying briefcases, and wearing big leather shoes... make sure to rein yourselves in."
Zhu Yong's words drew a wave of groans from the other students.
More formalism. Even students at an aristocratic school could not escape the claws of formalism.
After hearing this, Jiang Che thought for a moment before letting out a sinister chuckle.
Hadn't the God-level Disguise Technique he had just obtained come in handy already?
Chen Hao, you little security guard... today, he'd crank up the intensity for him first!
Inside the security office.
"Did you hear me? Keep your eyes peeled this afternoon. Important provincial leaders are coming for an inspection, so don't talk so aggressively, understand?"
The pot-bellied principal personally came to the security office to speak with Chen Hao.
"I understand, I understand!" Chen Hao nodded and bowed.
But inwardly, he was full of contempt. What kind of big-shot leader could make a great expert at the mid-stage Dark Force bow and scrape?
That was obviously impossible!
Dark Force experts could not be humiliated!
What was more, he had the enormous Ancient Martial Chen Family behind him. But Chen Hao knew... right now, he was merely a little security guard.
He still needed to keep a low profile.
"Little Chen, work hard. I think highly of you. If you do well... I'll promote you to security captain!"
The principal began painting him a pie in the sky.
"Take care, Principal..."
After Chen Hao saw the principal off, he spat. "Pah! Who the hell do you think you are? You want me to bow and scrape to people?"
"Do you know who I am? I'm the young master of the Ancient Martial Chen Family! My father is a generation's Tai Chi grandmaster!"
Chen Hao was already holding a bellyful of anger. What had happened to Qin Qiaoqiao that morning, when she had been defiled by that dog of a man... had continued to gnaw at him.
Just then, another familiar voice rang out.
"Little Chen, what did you say?"
That haunting voice made Chen Hao jump in fright.
He looked up. Why had the principal come back again?
"P-Principal, why are you back again? Y-you changed clothes?"
Chen Hao rubbed his eyes in confusion. If he remembered correctly... the principal had not seemed to be wearing these clothes just now, had he?
"What? Does me changing clothes get in your way? Or do you simply not like the look of me?"
The "principal" snorted coldly.
"N-no, nothing! Principal, please go on!" Chen Hao instantly became somewhat humble.
"Mm, the Education Bureau just called me. They said the provincial leaders aren't coming after all."
The "principal" paused, then continued, "Recently, there have often been small peddlers from outside coming into our school. They wear administrative jackets, carry briefcases, and put on a respectable facade, but they're actually sneaking in to sell stationery. You need to keep a death grip on those people."
"Got it? Don't you dare let me down!"
Chen Hao was dumbfounded. He only felt as though his CPU was overheating.
Just now, he had been told to keep a humble attitude, and now he was being told to chase people away?
Sure enough, these idiot leaders were all complete brain-dead morons.
"Yes, yes, yes! I guarantee no one will sneak in! Especially those little peddlers—I'll beat up every one I see!" Chen Hao patted his chest and made his vow with utter conviction.
The "principal" nodded approvingly. "Not bad, not bad. Little Chen, your future is promising! In a while, I'll tell the finance department to give you a raise!"
With that, he patted his backside and left.
Watching the "principal" depart, Chen Hao felt rather pleased with himself.
That principal might be an idiot, but at least he was giving him a raise.
Chen Hao was indeed the young master of the Ancient Martial Chen Family, but he was currently making his way outside and could not rely on his family... so he still cared quite a bit about things like salary.
"Hahahaha, I'm fucking dying of laughter!"
Jiang Che found an empty place, released the God-level Disguise Technique, and immediately took off his suit and tossed it into the jade pendant space.
That's right, that principal just now had naturally been a disguise of his.
When it came to messing with people's heads, Jiang Che was a professional!
Campus life did not seem so dull and boring after all. Flirting with girls during the day and occasionally training a Son of Destiny—there was endless joy in it!
"Sigh, if that guy Lin Yu were still at school, how great would that be? If I'd known, I wouldn't have messed him up so badly. Now there's one less source of amusement."
Jiang Che missed Lin Yu a little. Lin Yu was simply a musclehead with a simple mind, making him ridiculously easy to deal with.
"A-Achoo! Damn it... I actually caught a cold?"
Lin Yu was currently filthy and bedraggled, with his clothes torn to rags.
He had clearly been having a miserable time.
Who knew what he had gone through over the past two days!
He had planned to set up a roadside stall and save people, but whenever he was about to show off... there would always be several people in the crowd shouting that he was a quack.
And every time, they brought up the fact that he had no medical license. The patients he had finally managed to talk into treatment were all scared away.
There were bad people among the masses!!!
Just as his head was throbbing, a commotion suddenly broke out in the crowd ahead.
"Where's the ambulance? Where did the ambulance go? Someone has fainted here!"
"Oh no, oh no! I forgot to bring my father's fast-acting heart pills when I left home today... Hurry and call an ambulance!"
Lin Yu slowly raised his eyes, a wicked smile curling across his lips.
He had finally waited for it. After coming down the mountain for so long, he finally had a chance to show off.
Who was he? He was the Ghost Physician's successor!
Wasn't a mere heart disease as easy as turning over his hand?
