Chapter 411: Chapter 403: The Best Teacher (Part 2)
Liu Tong painfully curled up at the corner of the wall, his originally clean and tidy uniform had also become wrinkled and dirty. He hung his head low, not saying a word, but his heart was filled with resentment.
Why should he suffer these things? Is he not a person just because he has no money? He hadn’t stolen or robbed, so what mistake had he made to deserve this treatment?
If only they were all dead, thought Liu Tong darkly.
But the world is just so unfair; how could these rich people die so easily?
"Poor ghost, I’m talking to you, did you hear? Hurry up and clean Brother Jun’s shoes that you dirtied. Can you afford to compensate for them?" Someone kicked Liu Tong again.
The stairwell was crowded with people, most of them were there to watch the excitement, surrounding Liu Tong and mocking him without restraint.
"Mr. Ye, you should come and see, Liu Tong is being cornered by the students in the stairwell." Mr. Tang, who taught physics, came in flustered.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiu quickly stood up and ran while making a call to the police.
"What are you doing?" By the time Ye Qiu arrived, Liu Tong was still being beaten by some students, and it took him great effort to break through into the crowd.
"Teacher, I advise you not to meddle." Xuanyuan Junrui warned, having suffered a setback that afternoon, and told himself that no matter how much Ye Qiu pressured him this time, he wouldn’t let it go so easily.
"Assaulting classmates, what you’re doing is a crime."
"Crime? Teacher, I’m not yet sixteen, even if I ’accidentally’ killed someone today, what could you possibly do to me?" Xuanyuan Junrui said nonchalantly.
"The criminal law stipulates that anyone over the age of fourteen bears legal responsibility."
"Teacher, it seems you don’t understand the law as well as I do, the criminal law states that those under sixteen who commit non-malicious crimes bear no legal responsibility." Xuanyuan Junrui said with a smile as he lectured Ye Qiu in the law, appearing truly unconcerned and fearless.
Ye Qiu’s face darkened, these students truly did not regard the law or morals, to put it bluntly, they lacked discipline, not just them, but their parents as well.
"Teacher, if you don’t want to be fired, then get out of here." Sima Kai said to Ye Qiu with a smile.
"Only if Liu Tong can leave with me."
"What a good teacher, but what to do when our Young Master Jun dislikes such teachers the most?" Sima Kai glanced at the onlooking students, adding fuel to the fire.
"Teacher, please go." Liu Tong struggled to stand up, his expression pained as he said, "I’m fine."
"Such deep teacher-student affection, do you think this will soften Young Master Jun’s heart?" Sima Kai continued to provoke Xuanyuan Junrui as if eager to make the situation irreversible.
Ye Qiu took a deep look at Sima Kai; everyone said that Xuanyuan Junrui was the real boss of the school, but he felt that Sima Kai was no simple character, suspecting that many things were instigated by him.
Xuanyuan Junrui was already hot-tempered, and with such provocation, coupled with the jeering of the surrounding students, how could he not act rashly?
Sure enough, as soon as Sima Kai finished speaking, Xuanyuan Junrui’s expression became even more irate: "Come here, clean it properly."
Liu Tong hesitated, glanced at Ye Qiu, then prepared to kneel down, but Ye Qiu grabbed him.
"Your shoes are not dirty at all, why should Liu Tong clean them?"
"If I say they are dirty, then they are dirty." Xuanyuan Junrui glared dangerously at Ye Qiu, enunciating each word.
"You are being unreasonable." Ye Qiu’s expression also darkened.
Xuanyuan Junrui ignored Ye Qiu, squinting his eyes towards Liu Tong: "Are you going to wipe or not?"
"I..."
"He won’t wipe, if you must get into this, I will compensate for the pair of shoes."
"Wow, quite the noble teacher indeed!" Sima Kai clapped his hands mockingly, "Since we’re all the teacher’s students, why don’t you buy each of us a pair as well, they aren’t that expensive, just over twenty thousand for each, there are over twenty students here, you should be able to afford it, right?"
"Idiot." Ye Qiu glanced at Sima Kai coldly, not taking his petty tricks seriously at all.
"Who are you calling an idiot?" Sima Kai straightened up, his expression seemingly on the verge of rage.
"As your teacher, I feel deeply responsible, how did I end up teaching a student like you, who lacks compassion for classmates, brotherly love, is narrow-minded, and incites discord?"
"Shut up, who do you think you are to lecture me?" As he spoke, Sima Kai’s fist swung towards Ye Qiu.
He must have taken some boxing lessons, as the punch came incredibly fast and strong, and very accurate, striking Ye Qiu’s eye socket, even though Ye Qiu had already dodged.
