How could a well-behaved boy like Lin Feng do something as disgraceful as stealing women’s underwear? Besides, a good boy like Lin Feng would be liked by any girl, even I like such a well-behaved boy. Hmm, even if Lin Feng really likes collecting women’s underwear, what’s the big deal? Teacher Du, I could give you a few pieces! You guys just like to make a fuss over nothing. By the way, Teacher Li, I’m Cao Nan. Huang Tao was clearly reluctant to cooperate, but the handsome Cao Nan, when Lin Feng gave him a glance, actually shivered involuntarily. Li Xiangdong secretly kicked Huang Tao and nodded at him. Only then did Huang Tao stammer, “Sorry, Lin Feng, I shouldn’t have spread rumors about you behind your back, but those words were… were told by Cao Nan to say, I was wrong!” Cao Nan also said, “I… Lin Feng, I… I shouldn’t have spread rumors and made up stories to slander you! I’m sorry!” After saying this, both of them bowed to Lin Feng in unison, looking very sincere. Lin Feng gave a non-committal cold snort. Li Xiangdong chuckled dryly, stood up from his seat, and said, “You two little brats, what kind of apology is this, not heartfelt at all!” After scolding them, he immediately turned to Lin Feng with a smile, “Hehe, Lin Feng, the situation is like this, Teacher Du and I have discussed this matter, and we’ve reported the whole incident to the principal. The principal’s opinion is to hold a school-wide assembly this afternoon, yes, a vindication assembly! The school requires Huang Tao and Cao Nan to make a self-criticism at the assembly, read their apology letters, and restore Lin Feng’s reputation.” Huang Tao was visibly agitated and clearly wanted to argue, but Li Xiangdong forcibly stopped him. Huang Tao looked stifled, his face full of indignation. However, Cao Nan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief after hearing Li Xiangdong’s words. The strange expressions of Cao and Huang naturally did not escape Lin Feng’s notice. Although Lin Feng was in the same class as Huang Tao, they weren’t particularly close, and he didn’t know much about him. Earlier, he was surprised that Huang Tao dared to openly say that Cao Nan had instructed him. After some thought, Li Xiangdong, who usually ignored Cao Nan’s underlings, decided to make him admit his mistake at this time, there must be some strategy behind it, so Lin Feng paid special attention to this person. Li Xiangdong unexpectedly played this little drama, not mentioning a word about last night’s events, as if nothing had happened. However, Lin Feng noticed a very unusual detail; Li Xiangdong, no matter what…
“Teacher Li, several of us have formed a basketball team and elected Lin Feng as our captain. Now that it’s proven our captain Lin Feng is not the underwear thief, can the school approve our team?”
“Oh, approve! Of course, we can approve! Da Sheng, just give me a list later, and I’ll report it to the school office right away.”
“Really, Teacher Li? Haha, the list is already prepared, please… Ah… Captain, why did you kick me! Teacher Li, here’s the list, goodbye Teacher Li, we look forward to your good news, ah… why did you kick me again…”
After leaving the faculty building, Lin Feng chased away Sun Da Sheng and his group, hiding in the men’s bathroom. He immediately activated the remote listening mode of Niu Niu, inputting the target Li Xiangdong, and began to probe. Unexpectedly, Li Xiangdong ignored him and went after his classmates. Lin Feng cursed Li Xiangdong for being cunning, not wanting other students to be unwittingly drawn into the gang feud. Moreover, the real purpose of Li Xiangdong’s visit needed to be clarified. His consciousness sank into Niu Niu’s intelligent system, and with a ripple-like wave, Niu Niu’s background blurred into scattered images. Soon, the scene of Li Xiangdong’s office appeared in his mind: he was studying the basketball team list. However, Li Xiangdong seemed somewhat distracted. After studying the list for a long time, he picked up the phone and dialed a number with practiced ease:
“Hello, Officer Cao, regarding the wrongful arrest of our student last time, shouldn’t your police department give us an explanation? … Ah? Yes, yes, this afternoon our principal plans to hold a school-wide assembly for two students who fabricated facts to make self-criticisms. … Yes, yes, if your police could clarify, it would be more convincing. Also, Officer Cao, I need to tell you something, about Lin Feng, ah, I have a list in my hand, ah, the students on this list often participate in activities with Lin Feng, if you still have any doubts about Lin Feng, you can ask these students in detail. … Okay, that’s settled then, what? Chief Tian also…”
Cao Nan, in an attempt to show he wasn’t incapable of dealing with Lin Feng despite having so many people, exaggerated the story, even describing Lin Feng as an unparalleled martial arts master. In reality, if he hadn’t been so reckless and had a gun in hand, no matter how fast Lin Feng was, he couldn’t outrun bullets, yet Lin Feng managed to escape easily from their encirclement and even turned the tables, disarming them and subduing them effortlessly. Cao Nan was genuinely scared by Lin Feng; the feeling of being shot between the legs by someone pointing a gun at him was not something anyone could easily endure. Cao Nan was indeed a school bully, but he was still far from being a real gangster.
Huang Tao said, “No way! With his skinny frame, he could beat the three-time Sanda champion, Big Brother?”
Cao Nan said, “Shh! Keep it down… I feel like someone’s nearby.”
Huang Tao said, “What are you fussing about? It’s class time, who else would be here? Hey, so according to what you said, do we really have to make a self-criticism in front of the whole school this afternoon?”
Cao Nan said, “Do you think I want to? Who knows what Li Xiangdong, that old pervert, told Big Brother on the phone? Big Brother forced us to apologize, do you dare not comply?”
Huang Tao said, “I can’t swallow this!”
Cao Nan said, “Do you think I can? Hey, what if… if someone can’t show up at the assembly, do you think we could…”
“You mean?” Huang Tao made a gesture of slitting his throat.
“Are you out of your mind?”
“There’s no need for murder and arson over this matter. Big brother can’t even clean up his own mess, let alone help us clean ours!” “So, what should we do?” “Hehe, just make sure that Lin’s boy can’t show up when the time comes. For instance, if his favorite woman is held hostage, or if his family happens to have a little car accident or something, hehehe…” Whoosh! Whoosh! Suddenly, a cold wind swept by, and Brother 77, the shopping maniac standing by the urinal smoking, hurriedly ran to a street-side public phone booth and dialed his home phone, but no one answered. Lin Feng realized something was wrong; his mom rarely went out, so it was impossible that no one would answer for so long. Gritting his teeth, he risked entering Nuonuo’s surveillance mode and typed in the keyword “Mom.” After a ripple of water-like waves, the image of his mother appeared in his mind. “Officer Cao, thank you so much, thank you for all the effort you’ve put into our Lin Lin’s case. I’ll definitely keep it confidential, and I’ll tell Lin Lin the good news at the afternoon meeting!” Lin Lin, this kid, no wonder he’s been so busy these past few days, not even telling me about such chaos, sigh! In the image, it was his mother’s back; she was talking on the phone in an unfamiliar room, and from her tone, she seemed to be talking to her enemy, Cao Lei. Lin Feng felt his world spin; his mother had indeed fallen into Cao Lei’s hands! Damn…
