16: Chapter 16 Lawlessness

Yanjing, Bauhinia Noble Advanced High School.

This was a top-tier private institution that implemented semi-military management. Students who could enter were either rich or powerful; normally, they even had to button their school uniforms all the way to the top.

But today, the atmosphere on the playground changed drastically.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the basketball hoop shook violently, even emitting a teeth-gritting sound of metal twisting.

A young man with a bare upper body and muscle definition like knife carvings was hanging from the rim with one hand.

Sweat slid down his bronze skin, appearing out of place in this campus filled with youthful hormones, yet brimming with primitive wildness.

"Ahhh! Brother Defendant Ye Tian is so handsome!"

"This is what a man should be! Those pretty boys can't even compare!"

On the sidelines, a group of girls wearing JK uniforms screamed repeatedly, their eyes filled with little stars of adoration.

Defendant Ye Tian let go and landed, shook the sweat droplets from his hair, and curled the corners of his mouth into his signature wicked, arrogant smirk. He casually took the mineral water handed to him, tilted his head back to chug it, and most of the water flowed down the corners of his mouth across his pectoral muscles.

"Hey, newcomer!"

Several boys wearing designer sneakers walked over with dark faces. The leader was the school basketball team captain, also a rich second-generation, currently gripping the basketball so hard his knuckles turned white.

"This is a school, not your backyard. Put your clothes on, and also, stay away from Chu Yuxun!"

Defendant Ye Tian glanced at this group of students, his gaze as if looking at a few ants that didn't know whether to live or die.

"Rules?" Defendant Ye Tian smiled contemptuously, revealing a mouthful of stark white teeth, "In this school, I am the rule."

"You're courting death!" The rich second-generation was enraged and rushed forward, swinging his fist.

"Crack!"

The crisp sound of bone fracturing made one's scalp tingle.

No one saw how Defendant Ye Tian made his move. They only saw the 180-jin body of that rich second-generation fly backward five meters like a broken ragdoll, slamming heavily onto the plastic track, screaming and rolling while clutching his unnaturally bent arm.

The remaining few boys hadn't even reacted before Defendant Ye Tian had already moved.

Side kick, hook punch, shoulder throw.

In less than three seconds, a group was lying on the ground.

Defendant Ye Tian didn't even seem to be breathing hard. He walked leisurely to the leading rich second-generation, raised his foot, stepped on that face twisted by pain, and ground it hard.

"Remember, I am Chu Yuxun's personal bodyguard, and also the sky of this school."

Defendant Ye Tian leaned down, his voice cold: "In the future, when you see me, remember to walk with your head down. Otherwise, it won't be a hand that gets broken, but your neck."

After speaking, amidst the even crazier screams of countless girls, he picked up the school uniform jacket from the ground, threw it over his shoulder, and strode away.

Bureau of Anomalous Affairs, Director's Office.

Gu Changan sat on the leather sofa, holding a thick file bag in his hand.

On the other end of the phone, Wang Jianguo, the principal of Yanjing Bauhinia High School, was crying like a 200-jin child.

"Changan! Your Uncle Wang really can't do this anymore! This isn't hiring a student, it's hiring an ancestor!"

"This Defendant Ye Tian, relying on being arranged by the school board's Chu family, is lawless! Sleeping in class and insulting teachers is one thing, but the day before yesterday, the vice-principal was kicked by him and had two ribs broken just because he told him to put out his cigarette; he's still lying in the ICU now!"

Gu Changan listened to the weeping complaint on the phone, his expression calm, only his fingers flipping through the file paused slightly.

[Target Person: Defendant Ye Tian]

[Identity: Originally an overseas mercenary codenamed "Wolf King", returned to the country due to being tired of killing, entrusted by an old friend to protect the Chu family's daughter.]

[Current Disguise: Transfer student in Class 3, Grade 11, Chu Yuxun's distant cousin.]

[Violation Record:]

1. Used forged identification documents and forged student records for enrollment.

2. Intentional injury resulting in serious harm (Vice-Principal case).

3. Group fighting (due to the victims mostly being children of the powerful, it was suppressed by the Chu family).

4. Long-term possession of controlled knives on campus (carrying a military dagger).

"Treating the school as his private hunting ground, treating violence as personal charm."

Gu Changan closed the file, his eyes as cold as a frozen lake surface.

This so-called "Soldier King returns to campus" is essentially an adult with powerful violent means intruding into the world of minors for a dimensionality-reduction strike.

He enjoys the adoration of those mentally immature young girls, tramples on school rules and regulations, and uses the Law of the jungle to destroy the order of civilized society.

"Uncle Wang, rest assured."

Gu Changan said indifferently into the phone, "Since he likes to talk about 'rules', then I will go teach him what true rules are."

Hanging up the phone, Gu Changan pressed the internal line on the desk.

"Notify the Education Commission Supervision Group, the Municipal Public Security Bureau Security Detachment, and the legal counsel of the Minors Protection Association."

Gu Changan stood up, straightened his uniform collar, and polished the badge representing national power until it shone brightly.

"Prepare the car. Go to Bauhinia High School, have a 'parent-teacher meeting'."

Bauhinia High School, rooftop.

This should have been an area where students were forbidden to enter, but at this moment, it was wafting with the smell of cumin lamb.

Defendant Ye Tian sat on the railing with his legs crossed, twirling a cold, gleaming military dagger in his hand, focusing intently on slicing a piece of lamb into thin slivers.

Beside him, a girl with a sweet appearance, wearing a school uniform skirt, was looking at him with eyes full of starlight.

That was Chu Yuxun, the school beauty of Bauhinia High School, and also the apple of the Chu family's eye.

"Brother Defendant Ye Tian, you are so amazing, you even know how to barbecue!" Chu Yuxun rested her chin in her hands, her face full of adoration.

"What does this count for." Defendant Ye Tian fed a piece of grilled meat to the girl's mouth, the corners of his mouth hanging with that smile of someone who thought they had seen through the vicissitudes of life, "Back in the Amazon jungle, I ate poisonous snakes raw and tore crocodiles apart with my bare hands. These survival skills are just child's play."

Chu Yuxun ate the meat with a blushing face and asked in a low voice: "But... is it really okay for us to skip class? This period is math class, the teacher said they were going to talk about the final exam points."

"Studying? Studying is of no damn use."

Defendant Ye Tian sneered disdainfully and spat out a toothpick, "Those nerds study for a lifetime, and when they come out, aren't they just working for capitalists? Yuxun, you must remember, this world is one where the weak are prey to the strong. As long as your fist is hard enough, the rules are there to serve you."

"Just like that rich second-generation from earlier, so what if his family has money? With one punch from me, he has to obediently kneel down and call me Grandpa."

Chu Yuxun nodded as if she understood, only feeling that whatever Brother Defendant Ye Tian said was right; that kind of domineering temperament was simply mesmerizing.

Just as the atmosphere between the two was ambiguous, and Defendant Ye Tian's hand was somewhat unruly, wanting to rest on the girl's shoulder.

"Bzzzz——"

A piercing sound of electric current resounded over the campus.

Immediately after, the somewhat trembling voice of the Dean of Students came from the broadcast:

"Student Defendant Ye Tian of Class 3, Grade 11, Student Defendant Ye Tian of Class 3, Grade 11. Please report to the Principal's Office immediately! Repeating, report to the Principal's Office immediately!"

The broadcast voice was very loud, destroying all the romantic atmosphere on the rooftop.

Defendant Ye Tian's movements paused, his expression instantly turning gloomy.

"It's that old immortal Wang Jianguo again."

He fiercely snapped the bamboo skewer in his hand, a flash of violence crossing his eyes, "It seems breaking the vice-principal's leg last time didn't teach him a lesson. This time I must knock out a few of this old thing's teeth."

"Brother Defendant Ye Tian, how about... we go take a look anyway?" Chu Yuxun was a bit worried.

"Go, of course we have to go."

Defendant Ye Tian jumped off the railing, picked up the school uniform from the ground and draped it casually over his shoulder, reaching out to rub Chu Yuxun's head, "Let's go, Brother will take you to see a good show. Let you see that even a principal has to bow and scrape in front of me."

He took Chu Yuxun's hand and strode downstairs.

Along the way, the students encountered avoided them, their eyes filled with fear. Defendant Ye Tian really enjoyed this feeling of being feared by others, which made him feel that he was the king of this territory.

The Principal's Office was on the third floor of the administration building.

Defendant Ye Tian had no intention of knocking on the door at all.

Walking to that heavy mahogany door, he curled his mouth into a cruel smile, raised his foot wearing a military boot, gathered his strength, and kicked it violently.

"Bang!"

The sturdy door lock snapped instantly, the door slammed heavily against the wall, emitting a deafening loud noise.

Wood chips flew everywhere.

"Old thing! You're tired of living, right? Daring to disturb this young master's fun!"

Defendant Ye Tian swaggered into the office, his voice extremely arrogant: "If you don't kowtow and apologize to me today, I will dismantle your old bones!"

However, the next second.

His arrogant expression froze on his face.

Sitting behind the office desk was not that timid, white-haired old principal.

But a young man wearing a crisp black uniform.
