Zhou Yanli ruthlessly had that person pinned on the ground, mercilessly beating him punch after punch.
All the muscles in his body were tense, containing enormous explosive power, not holding back a single punch.
Because the door was locked from the outside, the people in the classroom were unable to come out. The boys with more strength were attempting to kick open the door.
However there weren’t many among these people that were genuinely worried, practically all just having the intention of going out to watch.
Having been under constant pressure, they finally encountered something unrelated to studying, so naturally joined in on the commotion.
Jiang Huihui was crying the whole time. Zhan Tong was comforting her to the side, “Don’t worry, Zhou Yanli, he……he should know not to go too far.”
These words, even she herself wasn’t that confident in.
After all, she and Zhou Yanli weren’t familiar with each other.
The person kicking the door kicked it for a while, yet it still didn’t budge. In fact, someone even took out their phone, planning to call the police.
Just, the police didn’t come; someone else came instead.
“Holy crap, it’s Zhou Jinwei.”
“What’s he doing here? Doesn’t he normally never come to this side?”
“Could it be that he came to look for the transfer student?”
This matter he was familiar with! Qin Yu loudly announced to everyone, “What do you all know? On the very first day Zhou Yanli transferred to our school, he just recognized Zhou Jinwei as his dad.”
He was infamous for having a loud mouth, so no one believed his words, let alone something this absurd.
Just based on that transfer student’s cocky attitude, would he call someone else dad in public?
Saying that he’d someone beaten into crying out dad would sound more believable.

Seeing them not believing his words, Qin Yu instantly got worked up, “It’s true.”
He even pulled out the second person who was present at the time as witness, “Jiang Huihui, you were also present at the time, you tell them. At the time, didn’t he…..wtf, what’s wrong with you?”
He got startled by Jiang Huihui’s appearance. She was crying like a pear blossom in the rain, her eyes red and swollen. Zhan Tong was by her side comforting her, vigorously signaling Qin Yu with her eyes, letting him shut up, but this moron was like as if he was blind.
She ruthlessly scolded him, “At times like this, don’t cause more trouble. If you have this much energy, then why not think of a way to kick open the door.”
Qin Yu scratched his head, his expression filled with powerlessness, “If I can kick open the door, then I would’ve long kicked it open. Moreover, didn’t you see how Zhou Yanli looked just now? I feel whoever opens this lock will die.”
As soon as these words came out, those few that were kicking the door instantly stopped.
They mutually looked at one another.
Right, how come they didn’t think of this.
Zhou Yanli had the door locked from the outside precisely because he didn’t want to let them go out. Whoever takes the lead in unlocking the door today certainly will get held accountable by him.
Thinking of the miserable screams outside, everyone all silently backed away, not daring to get involved in this.
Outside the classroom.
Zhou Jinwei had him pulled away, “Enough, stop before going too far.”
The person that got beat up was covered in blood, still attempting to struggle. Zhou Yanli directly held him by the neck, having him pinned to the wall.
In this world, the only ones able to have him pulled away while in the middle of beating someone up and still remain unharmed, aside from Jiang Huihui, it was just Zhou Jinwei.
Zhou Yanli got pulled away, but his face was still full of anger. He pointed at that person’s nose, asking him, “Are you together with those thugs who have been harassing Jiang Huihui outside the school? Let me tell you, those people got beaten up by me to the point where even their mom won’t recognize them anymore. Next time I hear you running your mouth again, never mind your mom, you won’t even be able to recognize yourself!”
These words weren’t just a threat, but a warning.
For Jiang Huihui, he was able to do anything.
Li Ao didn’t dare to breathe.
The sounds outside finally stopped. The security guard also heard the commotion and came over not long after. The person that got beaten up, aside from his face appearing somewhat unsightly, the rest was actually still fine. At least, he was still able to follow behind the Disciplinary Director and get taken to the principal’s office.
Zhou Jinwei was also present. Next to him was the silent Zhou Yanli. There was still anger in the bottom of his eyes, his entire person appearing somewhat gloomy.
When passing by the window, Zhou Jinwei glanced inside.
Jiang Huihui was originally still crying, when she suddenly met his eyes without warning. Although it just lasted for a few seconds, as if coincidentally sweeping by.
But, unknown as to why, Jiang Huihui’s uneasy emotions and messy heart all gradually settled down because of that eye contact.
When the math teacher heard the news, he also rushed over, unlocking the door from the outside. He asked Jiang Huihui what happened.
Jiang Huihui’s eyes were swollen, unable to speak.
She stood at her seat with her head down, her hands continuously tugging at the corner of her own clothes.
It was still Zhan Tong who was sitting a few rows in front that had the cause and effect briefly explained, “Li Ao was playing games in class, even swearing at others. Zhou Yanli’s tone was quite polite, saying that we were in class, letting him be quieter. But, he not only didn’t quiet down, he even insulted Zhou Yanli, and even…….”
She seemed to have a hard time opening her mouth, “Even said some insulting and defamatory things about Jiang Huihui. That’s why…..that’s why, Zhou Yanli hit him.”
Under Zhan Tong’s explanation, Zhou Yanli became a modeled student that was kind-hearted and willing to help others.
Li Ao has always been the type of student who gave teachers the most headache, normally skipping class, getting into fights, and even prematurely dating. In any case, all the things that were unrelated to studying, he’d pretty much all done.
After hearing Zhan Tong’s words, the math teacher slightly frowned, feeling deeply concerned.
He’d only been gone for a while, yet such a big incident had occurred.
Seeing Jiang Huihui’s eyes still swollen, he worryingly let her sit down first, not forgetting to console her a little, “Don’t worry, this matter has nothing to do with you. We, teachers, will take care of it.”
Jiang Huihui was the math teacher’s most beloved student, having good grades, studious, and obedient.
This matter, no matter who is to be blamed, it all wouldn’t be her.
After Jiang Huihui sat down, she looked at the empty seat next to her.
More than half an hour has already passed since then, don’t know how’s Zhou Yanli….
Zhou Jinwei, he……..
With him present, there shouldn’t be any problems.
Even Jiang Huihui didn’t notice that her trust in Zhou Jinwei has already reached an unprecedented height.
Not long after the math teacher left and just as the bell for the end of class sounded, the people from the class next door all ran over, gathering around outside Class 8.
The place where Zhou Yanli beat up the person was in the hallway between the two classrooms.
They were just separated by a wall, so naturally also heard the sounds.
Having been burning with curiosity for the entire class period, they finally got the chance to come over and ask.
Qin Yu added fuel to the story, having how Zhou Yanli had Li Ao dragged out like a dog, and how he had him beaten senseless entirely recounted from beginning to end.
Zhan Tong kept rolling her eyes to the side, “For you to not go and become a storyteller really is a waste of talent.”
She went to console Jiang Huihui again, “Don’t worry too much. I saw that Li Ao was mostly fine. Wasn’t he still able to walk on his own?”
He was able to walk on his own, but his face was cover in blood….
Don’t know if Zhou Yanli got hurt or not…..
–
Inside the principal’s office, that man who was nearing fifty, looking at the scene before him, frowned so deeply that his brows could crush a mosquito between them, “What in the world is this?! In broad daylight, during class, you had a classmate dragged out of the classroom and beaten to this degree!”
Zhou Yanli stood there, not showing the slightest bit of remorse, still that nonchalant look, “Who let him have a dirty mouth, he deserved to be beat.”
Li Ao was to the side covering his face. It hurt so much that he couldn’t speak.
He was burning with anger inside, but he didn’t dare to open his mouth.
Zhou Yanli’s ruthlessness just now, he was still vivid in his memory.
If not for Zhou Jinwei coming over and having him pulled away, he really thought that he was going to die there.
Seeing this attitude of Zhou Yanli’s, the principal was even angrier, heavily slamming the table, “This is just your attitude? Having beaten someone up, yet have no remorse?”
He had the red landline on the desk pushed before him, “Immediately give your family a call and let them come over to take care of this matter.”
Zhou Yanli didn’t move, just lifting his chin in Zhou Jinwei’s direction, “Isn’t he right here?”
Zhou Jinwei: “……”
The principal heard Zhou Yanli’s words and looked towards Zhou Jinwei, his complexion changing.
The two of them both had the surname Zhou and indeed also looked somewhat similar, but he never heard about President Zhou having two sons.
The principal hesitantly asked, “This is…”
Zhou Yanli could sense the principal being particularly careful when talking to Zhou Jinwei, fearing that he might offend him.
He was long used to seeing this kind of thing. Since he was little, every time his dad went to his school to clean up his mess for him, which time wasn’t this kind of scene.
Zhou Jinwei ignored the other party’s question, calmly stating, “It’s better to first investigate the cause and effect, what if it’s just a misunderstanding?”
Li Ao got worked up, “Is there even a need to investigate the cause and effect? What misunderstanding can there be? I already got beaten up like this!”
Zhou Jinwei glanced at him, his gaze blank and ordinary, but the latter still got scared and immediately shut up his mouth.
“No matter what, first go to the hospital for a checkup.” The principal was scared that Li Ao might meet with mishap in the school, so before the ambulance came, he let the security guard take him to the school’s infirmary to temporarily take care of the wounds.
Meanwhile, Zhou Jinwei let Zhou Yanli return to the classroom first, “You go back to class first.”
Zhou Yanli nodded, going back without any burden. In any case, all the trouble he has caused in the past seventeen years have always been taken care of by Zhou Jinwei.
As soon as he returned to the classroom, he just saw the place crowded with people.
Qin Yu was currently vividly recounting how he’d beaten up Li Ao earlier.
And the guy in the story who did the beating up was currently nonchalantly standing in the outer circle of the crowd with both hands in his pockets, his gaze sharp.
Zhou Yanli’s height, no matter where, was all like a crane standing among chickens, let alone in school where everyone was mostly underage.
Just as Qin Yu was getting carried away with his story, he spotted Zhou Yanli, instantly getting frightened to the point of not daring to open his mouth again.
Zhou Yanli casually walked over, coldly sneering, “Keep going, why aren’t you continuing? I thought you were doing quite well.”
Qin Yu forehead filled with cold sweat, “No….no, it wasn’t good at all. What I said just now were all randomly made up.”
Zhou Yanli arrival undoubtedly caused the lively scene to instantly drop to freezing point.
Those who had witnessed that scene earlier, and those who didn’t witness but heard the exaggerated version of the event from Qin Yu’s mouth, at this time, all had a kind of reverence mixed with fear towards Zhou Yanli.
Li Ao was a well-known bully in the school. Because he got along with the thugs outside of the school, he frequently bullied the other students.
Sometimes, he would even wait by the paths near the school, collecting ‘protection fees’ from the passing students.
Because they were scared of getting retaliated against, no one dared to report him. They could only avoid that path as much as possible.
What Zhou Yanli did although was scary, it still can be considered helping them take revenge.
The people gathered here, because of Zhou Yanli’s arrival, very quickly scattered, each returning to their own class and seat.
Qin Yu originally wanted to cozy up to Zhou Yanli with a smile on his face, but he also got scared away by a glance from him.
Zhou Yanli pulled out his chair and sat down, seeing Jiang Huihui silently writing and drawing with the pen in hand, not saying a word.
He leaned over, “What are you writing, let me see.”
Jiang Huihui turned her body to the side, using her hand to cover, not letting him see. Her head was also turned to the side, just leaving him the back of her head.
She was even sulking.
Zhou Yanli lightly smiled, “Angry?”
