Wronged

Dorm life had plenty of drawbacks too—for example, the guy in the bunk below Su Lin...

"Yes," Zhou En replied.

Su Lin slapped his forehead and said irritably, "Zhou En, haven't I told you never to provoke Li Hui?"

There was also a hint of anger in his voice, which showed just how far from simple Li Hui's background was.

"Where did you eat lunch?"

Before Zhou En could answer, Su Lin asked another completely unrelated question.

Zhou En was stunned by Su Lin's abrupt change of topic, but he still answered honestly, "The East District cafeteria."

"I see." Su Lin thought for a moment.

"Wait for me at the first-floor cafeteria entrance at noon. I'll tell you then."

After hanging up, Chubby hurriedly asked, "So?"

Zhou En's expression was extremely grave.

"We may have kicked an iron plate this time."

Zhou En immediately gave him a brief account of the phone call.

Chubby was somewhat shocked after hearing it. From Su Lin's tone, things did not seem good.

Zhou En checked his phone.

"Let's go eat. Maybe we'll find out what's going on when we see Su Lin."

"Yeah." Chubby agreed and headed toward the East District cafeteria with Zhou En.

About twenty minutes later, Zhou En and Chubby found Su Lin anxiously waiting at the cafeteria entrance.

"How did you end up provoking Li Hui?" Su Lin anxiously asked before either of them could speak.

Zhou En was helpless and could only repeat what he had told the counselor earlier.

Su Lin's expression turned grave. Holding his tray, he found a random seat and sat down.

He had considered many possibilities for how Zhou En might have become enemies with Li Hui, but he had never expected it to be because Zhou En had the ability to compete for a spot as an official team member.

Zhou En and Chubby could only sit down with Su Lin.

"Zhou En, you know about gangs, right?"

After sitting down, Su Lin spoke.

Zhou En nodded. In this world, gangs legally existed. Unlike Zhou En's original world, where Japan seemed to be the only country that allowed gangs to exist.

Seeing him nod, Su Lin said cautiously, "Li Hui is a member of the Iron Blood Gang."

The moment those words came out, Zhou En and Chubby both showed shocked expressions. Chubby even cried out, "How is that possible?"

In Zhou En's current country, there was only one largest gang—the Iron Blood Gang Su Lin had mentioned.

The other small gangs were all insignificant groups that could not make it onto the stage.

"No wonder Li Hui has so many privileges. He's from the Iron Blood Gang." Zhou En spoke bitterly.

"Zhou En, I think you should stop competing for that official student position. After all, you can offend anyone but the Iron Blood Gang!"

Su Lin spoke earnestly.

Hearing that, Zhou En could not help feeling dejected. To be honest, he really did not want to give up this opportunity.

His fist clenched beneath the table. How could he give up over such a minor difficulty?

"Then what should we do?" Chubby asked.

"Sigh, Zhou En can only announce that he's giving up his candidacy for the official student position, then apologize to Li Hui. Only then might this matter be resolved."

Su Lin said.

"No. I think I have evidence that can prove what they did today." Zhou En suddenly said.

Chubby and Su Lin were both slightly surprised, and the latter asked, "What evidence?"

Zhou En took a sip of soup to moisten his throat and said, "Didn't Glasses girl see what happened yesterday? Isn't she a witness?"

Chubby slapped his thigh and said in a worldly tone, "Exactly. Even if Li Hui is with the Iron Blood Gang, he'll have nothing to say when faced with solid evidence."

Su Lin hesitated after hearing that and shook his head.

"Guys, I don't think there's much hope."

However, Zhou En and Chubby remained optimistic. After all, the facts were right in front of them.

No one could deny them.

After eating, Zhou En and Chubby said goodbye to Su Lin and returned to their dormitory.

The two decided to explain everything clearly to the counselor again during evening self-study. Surely the school would not twist black into white.

That evening, at the Management Department's teaching building.

"Zhou En, Wang Rui, you two come out here."

Teacher Zhang said as he walked to the classroom entrance.

Zhou En and Chubby exchanged glances, then both walked out of the classroom.

In the hallway outside the classroom.

Teacher Zhang stood with his hands behind his back. His eyes made it clear that he was in a very bad mood.

"Zhou En, do you know what the school often teaches you?"

Here it came. Teachers always loved saying a bunch of pointless nonsense before getting to the point.

Since he did not know the right answer anyway, Zhou En simply kept silent.

Teacher Zhang did not expect Zhou En to answer. He continued, "The school has told you that your grades can be poor, but you must be honest people."

Hearing this, Zhou En looked up in surprise.

What the hell? Something about this feels off.

"Teacher, they're lying," Chubby hurriedly argued.

"Shut up! Don't you know you can't interrupt when a teacher is speaking?" Teacher Zhang said angrily.

Seeing this, Zhou En's heart suddenly sank.

It seemed the situation was far beyond what he had expected.

"The other students clearly didn't hit you two, yet you falsely accused them. Is that how a college student should behave?"

Teacher Zhang spoke with a look of heartfelt anguish.

"What?" Zhou En instantly felt like his whole world had gone wrong.

What the hell is going on? They can even call black white?

"Teacher, if they didn't hit us, where did the injuries on our bodies come from?"

As Chubby spoke, he even pointed his chubby little finger at his own face.

Teacher Zhang sneered. "You two fought in the woods yourselves, yet you actually tried to falsely accuse others."

"That can't be right. Someone saw it."

Zhou En shouted.

This drew the attention of the Disciplinary Department members patrolling evening self-study, who all turned to look.

Even the students studying in the classroom heard it and secretly ran to the classroom entrance to peek.

The previously quiet hallway instantly became packed with people.

The Disciplinary Department members immediately broke out in cold sweat and began driving everyone back into the classrooms with threats and intimidation.

Seeing that Zhou En and Chubby still refused to admit it, Teacher Zhang's old face turned red with anger. He raised a trembling hand and pointed at Zhou En.

"You want a witness, right? I'll call one over for you right now."

As he spoke, he took out his phone and made a call.

He rattled off a whole lot into the phone, then hung up.

For a moment, the hallway fell silent.

Zhou En and Chubby exchanged glances, both sensing that something was wrong.

They had not expected Li Hui's influence to be so great that he could make the school yield to this extent.
