Chapter Eighty-six: Utter Chaos

  Chen Chufan ran away and went back to his dormitory directly.

  He knew that Taoge had seen Li San's arm injury and would definitely guess that he was the one who did it. However, he wasn't afraid at all, even if the police really came to investigate, he planned to deny everything to the death. Anyway, he believed that Taoge was genuinely good to him and wouldn't go out of his way to find evidence to accuse himself.

  However, this means that Zhang Peng and Wang Kun's actions will have to speed up. If Taoge finds him again and lectures him, he really won't be able to bring himself to take action against these two people. After all, for those who are good to themselves, they should give some face, otherwise it would make oneself appear too ungrateful. With this thought in mind, Chen Chufan pushed open the dormitory door.

  In the bedroom, Yang Tao was alone, hugging a book and reading it.

  "Lao San, you're finally back! If you hadn't returned, I would have had to post a missing person notice! Where did you go gallivanting last night and now?" Yang Tao exclaimed loudly as he saw Chen Chufan walk into the dormitory.

  "By the way, which dorm is Zhang Peng from?" Chen Chufan asked directly.

  "What's wrong? What are you looking for him for? Was it this bastard who got someone to do that thing yesterday?" Yang Tao indeed was sharp and immediately grasped the key point.

  "Hmph, anyway, it's none of his business!" Chen Chufan coldly threw out a sentence and directly turned around to leave the dormitory, heading towards room 318. Yang Tao also hurriedly followed him out.

  Unfortunately, when Chen Chufan rushed into room 318, he didn't see Zhang Peng's figure.

  "Where's Zhang Peng?" Chen Chufan asked in a low voice.

  "Zhang Peng hasn't returned to the dorm since last night!" Han Suan said timidly, looking at Chen Chufan who had suddenly burst into the dorm.

  As one of Zhang Peng's followers, he didn't know about Zhang Peng finding someone to collect debts from Chen Chufan, but he was very clear about how much hatred Zhang Peng had for Chen Chufan. Thinking that Chen Chufan came over in a rage, it must be that Zhang Peng did something again to provoke this jinx. He had accompanied Zhang Peng through the scene at the cafeteria entrance, and this madman didn't consider consequences when he got angry, so Han Suan couldn't help but feel apprehensive, deeply afraid that Chen Chufan would vent his anger on him if he saw that Zhang Peng wasn't there.

  But it turned out to be unnecessary worry, Chen Chufan heard that Zhang Peng had not returned and directly went out of dormitory 318.

  Zhang Peng not only hasn't returned to his dormitory, but from last night till now he didn't even dare step out of his house.

  When Li San's younger brothers pulled out their knives, he felt that something was wrong. In his mind, it was just a matter of giving Chen Chufan a good beating. At most, breaking a bone or two would send him to the hospital for a while, and that would be enough to vent his anger. But once knives were involved, things were different, if someone really died, it would implicate himself...

  Every time he thinks of this, his heart is racing. Yesterday, he didn't sleep well all night, and after dawn, he didn't dare to go out, but kept dialing Li San's phone number over and over again, wanting to ask about the situation. However, Li San's office phone was not answered by anyone. This made him have a bad premonition.

  In the meantime, Zhang Peng contacted Wang Kun again, but Wang Kun didn't know the specific situation either. Moreover, in their conversation, it was all about getting himself out of trouble, which made Zhang Peng even more terrified. He was so frightened that he was on edge. Even a slight movement outside the door could make him jump, fearing that the police had arrived at his doorstep.

  His own son was so abnormal, his family must have noticed something, and when he asked him what had happened, he didn't dare to say anything. He even got scolded by his father. So Zhang Peng went to bed early that night. But he still couldn't sleep, tossing and turning with regret in his heart. Why did he think of asking those unreliable people? Thinking of this, Zhang Peng also started to resent Wang Kun. If it weren't for him, how could he have gotten into such trouble? And now that something had happened, he was ready to get rid of himself without any sense of loyalty.

  Like this, he thought wildly and scared himself, only falling asleep in a daze after 5 o'clock. At 7 o'clock in the morning, he was called up again, and it was already Monday. The first two classes today were Feng Wuqing's class, although this subject is destined to be hung, but he still didn't dare to skip class. Moreover, his father would not allow him to skip any class. With a father who is the head of an institute, he can't even realize the idea of breaking a broken pot.

  He came to the classroom with a pair of panda eyes, and began searching everywhere. However, he only saw Yang Tao and Meng Wei sitting properly at the back of the classroom, and Chen Chufan was indeed not by their side. This made Zhang Peng's heart even more anxious. He randomly found a seat and sat down, continuing to think wildly.

  Chen Chufan didn't go to class. Since he had already decided to study abroad, he didn't care about failing his courses either. Yesterday, Han Xiaoxi complained that the porridge in the hospital cafeteria was hard to eat, so early this morning, Chen Chufan got up and ran to the cafeteria to buy some black rice congee that Han Xiaoxi usually liked to eat, and rushed to the school hospital to deliver breakfast to Han Xiaoxi.

  Han Xiaoxi's father should have gone to work, and there were only two people in the ward, Han Xiaoxi and her mother. When Chen Chufan brought breakfast for Xiaoxi, Han Xiaoxi's mother greeted him and left the two young lovers alone in the ward, going outside to eat breakfast herself.

  "Your mom doesn't have to go to work!" Chen Chufan carefully fed Han Xiaoxi the black rice porridge from the school cafeteria.

  "My mom is a painter, usually paints at home and doesn't need to go to work." Han Xiaoxi replied vaguely with her mouth still full of the black rice porridge her boyfriend had brought her. "So my mom heard that you play the piano well and are planning to study art abroad, she thinks highly of you."

  "Mothers-in-law always like their sons-in-law more and more as they get to know them!" Chen Chufan replied shamelessly.

  After feeding Han Xiaoxi's breakfast, the two chatted until Han Xiaoxi's mother returned, and Chen Chufan politely bid farewell. It wasn't that he didn't want to communicate with his future mother-in-law, but he had more important things to do. The first class was about to end soon. He didn't believe Zhang Peng would dare skip Old Feng's class again.

  Wang Mingtao received the news from Xiao Li early in the morning, and it turned out that Wang Kun was indeed the son of Deputy Director Wang of his own institute. Thinking of Chen Chufan's bold and ruthless character, he couldn't sit still either. So he ran to the director's office.

  "Chen Suo, now that the truth about the Nanhu rape case has been clarified, shouldn't we apologize to that kid? Personally, I think the reward for the Min Da school's security team should be given directly to him instead. And isn't there a 'justice and bravery' banner in the office that wasn't sent out last time? Let's just send it to that kid too. What do you say?" Wang Mingtao said in the director's office.

  "Little Wang, what's wrong with you today? Why are you coming to help that kid take credit so early in the morning? Isn't the trouble he's caused enough? Are you going to reward him too? It's already a miracle that his merits and demerits balance out!" Chen said coldly, giving Wang Mingtao a sideways glance.

  Wang Mingtao chuckled twice and explained: "Chen Suo, I'm doing this for your own good! There's something I need to report to you. In the Xijie injury case, two students were involved, one of whom is Wang Kun, who has been confirmed to be the son of our deputy director Wang. Chen Chufan has also got wind of this situation!"

  "You also know, that kid still won't give up. Yesterday he even broke Li San's right arm on the spot. Until now Li San is still lying in the hospital. If he dares to play this trick on his own classmate again, it'll be hard for you to stay out of it!" Wang Mingtao explained in detail.

  Director Chen heard Wang Mingtao's explanation, not only did he not nod in agreement with Wang Mingtao's opinion, but instead became furious: "He dares to, and has turned the sky upside down! He even dares to use force, bring him in directly! Let him know what it means to be fierce!"

  "You can decide that way, anyway this thing has blown up. On one side is our own Wang Deputy Director, and we all know who his father-in-law is. On the other side is Municipal Secretary Han. If it's true what that kid said about being friends with Master Longyuan, maybe there'll even be a venerable monk joining in on the fun. I think it's quite entertaining, our department hasn't had any excitement for a long time, don't you agree?" Wang Mingtao said with a mischievous tone, not getting angry despite Chen's outburst.

  King Mingtao's words made Director Chen somewhat hesitant. After a moment of contemplation, he said gruffly, "So we just need to send him a silk banner and give him some prize money to appease that little brat?"

  "I'm telling you, Chen Suo, how can your management style be so regressive? We've done this, regardless of whether it's effective or not, at least we're showing our attitude. After rewarding that kid, I'll personally team up with you to discipline him. If he still dares to cause trouble, we can say we've done our best, right? When the time comes, we won't be in the wrong!" Wang Mingtao said with a smirk, it seems that Chen Chufan really did infuriate Chen Suo, just mentioning his name and Chen Suo completely loses his usual composure.

  "What you said makes sense too!" Chen thought for a moment and said: "However, the 3,000 yuan prize that was fought for in the report to be given to the nursing school team is now changed to be given to that kid, it's too much, just give him 500 yuan as a token, and the rest will be used as office expenses for our department!"

  "Director Chen is wise, the amount of money doesn't matter, as long as we get the idea across! It's a win-win situation, and it can also increase revenue for our department. Director Chen is indeed brilliant, he's several stories high!" Wang Mingtao saw that Director Chen had relaxed his tone, so he immediately began to flatter him.

  "Alright, that's settled then. You go get a blank certificate and I'll fill it out. Then we can head straight to Zhongbei Min University." Principal Chen finally made the decision.
