Su Muqing hadn't expected President Wu's reaction to be so strong. She was startled by his sudden outburst.
President Wu also realized he might have frightened the young girl. He quickly cleared his throat, trying to make his voice sound gentler.
"Cough cough!"
"Um, little girl, don't be scared!"
"You just said you know Jiang Fan, which Jiang Fan are you referring to?"
"The one who just left here?"
As he spoke, he saw Su Muqing's age and guessed that she was likely there for her Martial Artist Certification as well.
He then continued with a smile.
"You're here to get certified as a Martial Artist today too, right?"
"How did the assessment go?"
"I'm the Vice President of the Martial Arts Association here!"
Su Muqing was a little flattered that the Vice President of the Martial Arts Association was being so polite to her. She quickly replied.
"Yes, it's him. He just passed the Level 2 Martial Artist assessment here!"
"I..."
"I'm not as good as him. I only passed the Level 1 Martial Artist assessment!"
The information matched!
President Wu was overjoyed to hear this, but he still patiently praised her.
"Good, good, good! You are both talents from Jiang City. Jiang City's future belongs to young people like you!"
After speaking, he tried to guide the conversation.
"Do you know which school he attends?"
As he said this, President Wu glanced at the sky outside. He figured it was too late to find the person by going to the school now. He then pressed further.
"Or do you know where he lives?"
Su Muqing nodded.
"He's from Third High School, Class 3, Year 2!"
She was about to tell him Jiang Fan's home address, but then she suddenly remembered Jiang Fan's attitude just now and felt it wasn't appropriate. So, she told a small lie.
"As for his home, I'm not too sure. I only know his family lives in the Inner City!"
President Wu and the others exchanged glances.
"Inner City?"
But when Jiang Fan came in just now, he was clearly dressed like someone from the Outer City!
Moreover, he had just asked about buying a house in the Inner City.
It seemed this little girl's information wasn't accurate either!
President Wu forced a smile.
"Okay, thank you, little girl. Please visit our Martial Arts Association often in the future!"
"Strive to reach Level 2 Martial Artist as soon as possible!"
After Su Muqing left, Team Leader Wang looked at President Wu.
"President, what should we do? Should we still look for him?"
President Wu immediately started scolding him.
"Are we supposed to not look if you have no other information?"
He checked the time and turned to walk towards the hall.
His voice could be heard as he walked.
"We definitely won't find anyone at school now. Tomorrow morning, you and I will go find him!"
"Even if the information isn't entirely accurate, the school should be correct!"
Jiangcheng Third High School.
Ever since expelling Jiang Fan last time, Li Dongsheng had returned to his post and resumed his daily work.
Jiang Fan's departure had not caused even the slightest ripple.
Although Jiang Fan was the top student in Jiangcheng Third High School, he was only the top student in liberal arts.
In this era where martial arts reigned supreme, no matter how well one studied liberal arts, it was ultimately to serve those martial artists.
Therefore, when he had gone to report the matter to the school, the Dean of Students had signed off without hesitation, without even waiting for him to finish explaining the specific reasons.
Heh!
Now you know who you can't afford to offend, right?
Thinking of Jiang Fan, a sense of schadenfreude rose within Li Dongsheng!
He had originally intended to buy Jiang Fan's Level 1 gene serum at a low price for his son to use.
But he hadn't expected Jiang Fan to be so ungrateful, not only refusing to sell it to him but also talking back, causing him to lose face!
If he wasn't going to deal with Jiang Fan, who else would he deal with?
The facts proved that in the eyes of the school, Jiang Fan was a worthless piece of trash. Making him leave was as simple as him saying the word.
The more Li Dongsheng thought about it, the more pleased he became.
At this moment, it was during morning class, and many students were coming and going in the hallways, but he couldn't help but hum a little tune.
"Teacher Li, Teacher Li!"
Suddenly, a panting voice came from behind Li Dongsheng.
Li Dongsheng turned his head and saw the figure of a small, chubby boy running unsteadily towards him.
Li Dongsheng asked in surprise.
"Wang Tao, why are you coming from this direction?"
Behind them was the teachers' office building, and in front were the classrooms.
Logically, at this time, students should be entering through the school gate and heading directly to the teaching building.
But Wang Tao was coming from the direction of the office building, which was very strange.
Wang Tao arrived nearby, gasping for breath.
"Teacher Li, Principal Fang wants to see you!"
Li Dongsheng was even more puzzled.
"The Principal? What does he want with me?"
Generally speaking, a teacher of his level rarely interacted with the principal, except during large meetings. At most, he would report to and interact with the Dean of Students.
And now, with morning classes about to start, he really couldn't figure out why the principal would want to see him!
Wang Tao was only responsible for delivering the message and didn't know the reason, so he truthfully replied.
"I don't know. I just ran into the principal and a group of people at the school gate. He told me to call you!"
Li Dongsheng nodded slightly.
Wang Tao's family had some influence. The principal knew people with some influence.
So it was normal for him to have Wang Tao come find him.
It was just that he really couldn't figure out what business the principal could have with him.
"Alright, hurry up and go to class!"
After dismissing Wang Tao, Li Dongsheng headed towards the principal's office.
The two buildings weren't too far apart, only about a 5-minute walk. Li Dongsheng arrived at the door of the principal's office.
The office door was ajar.
Through the gap, he could see the principal sitting in his chair, facing the door.
Opposite the principal were several people with their backs to the door, talking with Principal Fang.
The group was chatting and laughing, quite animated!
Li Dongsheng tidied his clothes and then knocked on the door.
Knock, knock, knock!
The people inside looked up at the sound.
The principal's smile immediately widened.
"You're here!"
"Dongsheng, come here quickly!"
As Li Dongsheng approached, he noticed that the Dean of Students, Dong Bin, was also present.
The other few people looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't recall who they were for a moment.
"It's like this, do you have a student named Jiang Fan in your class?"
"I remember there should be. Director Dong just mentioned he had an impression that this Jiang Fan might have even ranked first in the grade!"
Li Dongsheng hadn't expected Principal Fang to be looking for him because of Jiang Fan. He thought Jiang Fan had caused trouble outside and someone had come to the school looking for him. He quickly distanced himself.
"Principal Fang, did Jiang Fan cause trouble again?"
"He's not our student anymore. If he causes trouble, it won't be our problem!"
As soon as Li Dongsheng finished speaking.
Principal Fang suddenly stood up and stared at Li Dongsheng sternly.
"What? Explain clearly!"
Li Dongsheng was bewildered and could only explain truthfully.
"He was expelled a while ago for truancy!"
After speaking, he looked at Dean of Students Dong Bin in confusion.
"Dean Dong signed it, don't you remember, Dean Dong?"
Dong Bin, who had been sitting there, felt his scalp tingle and said sternly.
"Li Dongsheng, don't spout nonsense!"
"When did I sign it?"
Dong Bin had actually forgotten about this matter, but after Li Dongsheng reminded him, he did have some recollection.
However, at this moment, he absolutely could not admit that he was involved in this matter.
After all, sitting in front of them was the Vice President of the Martial Arts Association!
And according to the information the other party had obtained, Jiang Fan was a genius certified as a Level 2 Martial Artist!
Although he didn't quite understand how Jiang Fan suddenly went from a useless person who hadn't awakened to a genius, since the Vice President of the Martial Arts Association said so, it must be true.
If he caused Third High School to lose a Level 2 Martial Artist genius, let alone the Vice President of the Martial Arts Association would think he was stupid, even Principal Fang wouldn't let him off.
Li Dongsheng stared blankly as Dong Bin completely denied the matter.
"But..."
He wanted to say something more, but was immediately interrupted by the President Wu standing up.
"Enough!"
"I don't care about these internal matters of yours, I just want to know, where is Jiang Fan now?"
Li Dongsheng's mind went completely blank and he subconsciously replied.
"He... I heard he went to Fifth High School!"
His voice grew softer and softer towards the end, and he clearly sensed that something was wrong.
President Wu took a deep breath and turned to Principal Fang.
"Principal Fang, since your school expelled Jiang Fan, then I have no reason to stay here any longer!"
"I'll take my leave!"
He led the people from the Martial Arts Association directly out the door.
Principal Fang walked around the table, wanting to see President Wu off, but was waved off by President Wu.
"No need to see me out!"
After speaking, he looked back at Dong Bin and Li Dongsheng.
"Principal Fang should first handle his own internal affairs!"
"A Level 2 Martial Artist genius, who could even become a provincial top scholar, appeared at your school, but you failed to grasp the opportunity. I don't know whether to be happy or sad for Principal Fang!"
Principal Fang's face turned ashen upon hearing this.
After President Wu and the others left, he turned back, his expression as dark as water.
"Li Dongsheng, tell me what happened?"
Li Dongsheng was already dumbfounded.
What had he just heard?
Jiang Fan? A Level 2 Martial Artist? How was that possible?
While in disbelief, he suddenly remembered the scene when Jiang Fan came to question him about his expulsion, how he had effortlessly dealt with Li Meng, and the bone-chilling look in his eyes. His heart was gradually filled with fear!
He, he was really a Level 2 Martial Artist!
I, expelled a Level 2 Martial Artist?
How... how would this end?
Li Dongsheng selectively omitted the matter of him wanting to buy Jiang Fan's Level 1 gene serum and instead recounted Jiang Fan's truancy and disrespectful attitude towards his teachers.
Then, under Dean of Students Dong Bin's sharp gaze, he silently took responsibility for the matter.
As soon as he finished speaking, Principal Fang slammed his palm on the table, splashing tea everywhere!
"Get out now!"
"Go find Jiang Fan and bring him back!"
"If you can't find him, you don't need to come back!"
Upon hearing this, Li Dongsheng quickly prepared to leave.
But just as he reached the door, he was called back by Jiang Fan.
"Wait, I'll go with you!"
Seeing this, Dong Bin also hurried to follow.
The Principal himself was going, could he, the Dean of Students, not go?
