Ma Li was thoroughly enraged. She called Wang Sheng directly and yelled, "Wang Sheng, I don’t care what methods you use, but everyone who hit my son is going to prison! If you can’t do it, I’m divorcing you!"
Chu Hao is done for! Wang Qi felt extremely pleased with himself. I should celebrate! he thought, then said, "Oww... Mom, I’m in so much pain. Could you peel an apple for me?"
"Peel it? I’ll peel one for you right now."
Liu Chan was utterly in awe of Wang Qi’s thick skin.
In class, Chu Hao felt bored. I have money and ability, so why should I bother going to school? he thought.
Chu Hao sighed, "Li Yin, tell me, I’m already this rich, why should I still go to school? Life is so lonely."
Li Yin, who was concentrating on the lecture, felt like he’d taken 10,000 points of critical damage. "Can you not depress me?" he said. "You’re the one taking it easy with 5,000,000 in hand, while I’m over here struggling."
Chu Hao rested his head on the desk, speaking listlessly, "What’s the point of university, anyway?"
Li Yin hid his face with his book and smiled mischievously. "Universities have lots of beauties! I heard college students are really open-minded. Just mess around on WeChat or Momo and you can easily hook up—hook up until you’re completely drained, until you doubt life itself."
Chu Hao listened, his eyes gleaming wickedly.
Chu Hao asked, "Is it really that amazing? Which university are you planning to attend?"
"Do I even need to say it? Of course, the Capital Film Academy! Film schools are never short of beauties. You haven’t seen the news reports, have you? The most beautiful girls in all of Huaxia Country go to the film academy. I even heard that the big star Yi Qinglian got into Capital Film Academy. Maybe if I go there, I could even be classmates with her."
Yi Qinglian is going too? Capital Film University, huh? The key point is the abundance of girls!
Chu Hao took out a book and started to study earnestly. He wasn’t just pretending.
Beside him, Li Yin asked curiously, "Ah-Hao, which school are you thinking of applying to?"
Chu Hao replied, "Listening to you, I’ve suddenly realized the true meaning of life. The beauties at the Film University are waiting for me to save them."
"You’re going for the girls too, aren’t you?"
"Then let’s work hard and get into Film University together!"
Time flew by. Just as school was about to end, two policemen walked in.
A tall policeman asked, "Is Chu Hao here?"
Chu Hao replied, "I am Chu Hao."
The policeman said expressionlessly, "You’re suspected of assault. Please come with us to the police station."
The whole class gasped. Anyone with half a brain knew this was Wang Qi’s doing.
Li Yin said angrily, "That Wang Qi is truly fucking shameless! He actually called the cops!"
The homeroom teacher at the podium quickly asked, "Officers, has this matter been brought to the principal’s attention?"
Behind the two policemen, a fashionably dressed woman appeared, saying without emotion, "There’s no need to inform the principal. Take him away."
The policeman walked up, took out a pair of cold handcuffs, and was about to cuff Chu Hao.
The entire class’s expression changed. This was such a minor issue! They were going to handcuff him for this? How was that different from treating him like a criminal?
Chu Hao’s face darkened. "What right do you have to handcuff me?" he demanded.
"You’re suspected of assault. Come back to the station with us," the policeman said, his face devoid of expression.
Chu Hao wrenched his hand away, shaking off the handcuffs. He said coldly, "I’m not going anywhere with you."
Wang Qi’s mother shouted angrily, "He’s obstructing official business! Grab him!"
The two policemen felt quite helpless. Using force on a student put them in a difficult position; they could only blame the kid for not knowing what was good for him.
The tall policeman said, "Fellow student! Please cooperate."
"Cooperate with your bullshit!"
Chu Hao was genuinely furious. Wang Qi, that petty bastard, had actually called the police on him?
The two police officers’ expressions changed. Wang Qi’s mother sneered, "This little bastard is still cursing? Take him back. If he doesn’t do five to ten years in prison, my name isn’t Ma Li!"
The entire class was deathly silent.
Li Yin was the first to stand up, shouting angrily, "On what grounds are you handcuffing him? It’s Wang Qi’s own fault for picking a fight he couldn’t win!"
Mu Yuxun also stood up and stated a plain truth, "Do you have an arrest warrant? You can’t take someone away without one."
The class advisor also said, "Ms. Ma, I don’t believe this is a matter for the police to resolve. It was indeed Wang Qi who struck first, and Chu Hao was acting in self-defense."
"Exactly! Someone like Wang Qi deserves to be taught a lesson."
"Calling for mommy when he can’t win a fight? Wang Qi really is pathetic."
The classmates were also agitated. Chu Hao had indeed hit someone, but the person he hit was Wang Qi. This was seen as helping those Wang Qi had previously bullied, so many of them started speaking out.
Ma Li’s expression grew increasingly grim. She had lived for so many years, yet today she was actually being lectured by a bunch of brats.
Like an enraged lioness, Ma Li bellowed, "All of you shut up! If any of you say one more word, you’re going to jail with him!"
Some students were scared; after all, they were just students.
Li Yin angrily retorted, "Oh really? Then you might as well arrest me too! I also laid hands on Wang Qi!"
Mu Yuxun also chimed in, "And me! If you’re handcuffing people, you’d better take me too!"
A female classmate whispered, "Wang Qi is so shameless. Truly, like mother, like son."
Ma Li was going insane. She came from a privileged background, and no one in society dared to speak to her . Now, a group of students was making her boil with rage.
Ma Li shrieked, "Take them back! Take them all back! What are you two still standing around for?"
The two police officers felt helpless. If they really took all the students back, the situation would likely escalate dramatically.
They couldn’t afford to offend Ma Li, so as long as they took Chu Hao back, she would likely calm down.
"Kid, come with us. It’ll be alright," one of the policemen said.
Chu Hao felt quite touched. His classmates were all speaking up for him, yet this woman, Ma Li, actually wanted to have the entire class arrested? She was clearly a madwoman.
Chu Hao looked at the two police officers and asked, "How much money did she give you?"
The two officers were taken aback. Ma Li had indeed given them money—50,000 each—and their boss had probably received even more.
Chu Hao calmly stated, "I’ll give each of you one million. Quickly take this madwoman to a psychiatric hospital. I feel like vomiting just looking at her."
DING... The Host has successfully acted pretentiously and received 70 Pretentiousness Points.
The whole class was stunned.
Chu Hao took out the card Zhang Qun had given him, slapped it on the desk, and said coldly, "Two million. For every second you delay, I’ll deduct one hundred thousand. You decide."
The two police officers’ breathing became rapid. One million each?
At the same time, a chill went down their spines. Weren’t we told this kid was just an ordinary person? How could he be so rich?
Ma Li was infuriated. "You little beast, you—!"
Chu Hao sneered. "To be frank, your son is a piece of rat shit. And you, you’re the filthiest rat in the sewer. The two of you are a perfect match."
What an apt description, everyone thought.
Ma Li’s face contorted with rage as she roared, "Bastard! Lowlife! Who do you think you are? How dare you curse at me?"
Chu Hao said coldly, "I’m cursing you, you green tea bitch! No, wait! Green tea bitches are young. You don’t even qualify as one. You’re just a wrinkled old hag, an old slut, an old piece of scum!"
Chu Hao felt incredibly satisfied cursing her out. He added, "This Young Master rarely curses, but you, you old bitch, were asking for it."
Those curses were brutal.
