The signal frequency of the pinhole camera's transmitter had already been adjusted by Old Turtle to match the receiving frequency of Tianzhen Academy's wireless monitoring network. The campus security guard, who was responsible for monitoring the wireless surveillance video, watched in shock as the entire scene unfolded, hearing every word Dasha said with perfect clarity.

Not just one security guard was watching this scene; it happened to coincide with a patrol by the head of the security department. This head of security was a retired colonel from the military. Upon encountering this situation, he did not ask for reasons but immediately reported it to the Dean's office, the Student Union, and the Disciplinary Office. Then, he called the campus doctor to rush to the hero's dormitory with all haste.

The gruesome scene on the ground was truly hair-raising.

The hero was not seriously injured; he had only fallen to the ground in a feigned state of terror.

With such a major incident, the head of the Disciplinary Office also rushed over to handle it that night. When asked why the hero had brought an umbrella to the shower, his response was very reasonable. These people often bullied him, and the head of the Disciplinary Office had heard about it, but without concrete evidence, he had turned a blind eye.

Everyone knew the dirty secrets within powerful families.

But this time, there was direct evidence. This time, they had poured boiling water at 120 degrees, and the level of bullying was truly outrageous.

In the Disciplinary Office, the head of security, who was responsible for assisting in maintaining campus discipline, reported to the head of the Disciplinary Office: "I suspect that this poor soul has been bullied to the point of rebellion. According to the information I have, these guys have several times broken in and poured ice-cold water while he was taking a hot shower. He must have been forced to prepare all possible means of self-protection."

The head of the Disciplinary Office flicked the ash from his cigarette and said nonchalantly, "Originally, this poor soul was bullied openly in class but suffered quietly. Outside of class, no one from other classes knew how badly this freshman was being bullied. But bad news travels fast, and many past incidents that were handled quietly by the academy have been dug up. There are too many girls in our academy with a heart full of love, and the current discussions have made the three vice-deans lose face. They are questioning our ability to supervise campus discipline."

After a brief discussion, the two reached a decision on how to handle the situation.

Tianchuan City is located fifty miles east of the Tianzhen Mountains.

In a semi-mountain villa in the center of Tianchuan City, a roar like that of a lion echoed!

Kneeling before an enraged man was a young man dressed in a strikingly handsome manner. Even Lei Wei and Li Ming, who were injured, were brought to the villa's main hall.

The young man was not kneeling on the floor but on a board with nails! He was Huayang, the third son of the hero's same father but different mother, born to the main wife.

The enraged man was none other than the heartless father of the poor soul, Huazhilong.

Huazhilong pointed at Huayang and roared, "Did you spend four years in there for nothing? Don't they emphasize brotherly bonds in there? He is your blood brother! Even if he was a result of my momentary pleasure, he is still my son. What has he done to offend you? You have a hundred times better living conditions than he does. What has he done to you? How could I have fathered such a cruel son? If I had known, I would have shot at the wall."

The main wife, standing beside Huayang, was displeased by these words. She coldly snorted and was about to retort when Huazhilong pointed at her and angrily said, "If you say one more word that displeases me, I will sleep in the study for the rest of my life and never enter your room. I ruined that woman's life with one night of drinking. You know a hundred times better who she is. You even dared to harm your own maid. I could write 'servile' on your forehead. And now, you are encouraging your son to eliminate the root. You might as well kill me too; the root is in me."

Seeing a flash of cruelty in his son's eyes, Huazhilong slapped him and said, "If that poor soul had been crippled, I wouldn't have just slapped you; I would have cut you down!"

At that moment, clear footsteps were heard.

An old man, accompanied by a tall, high-heeled woman, walked into the hall and stood before Huazhilong, saying, "Now you know the consequences of your inability to control your desires."

Huazhilong lowered his head.

The old man stood in the hall with his hands behind his back and said to Huazhilong:

"That woman has also suffered a lot, all because of you. After all these years, you have paid for your sins. Bring them back. You don't have to give her a title, but you should take responsibility for your own flesh and blood. As for the Long family, I will handle it."

The old man's words made Huayang's mother's face change. She could not tolerate the idea of the former maid, who had given birth to her husband's child, moving back to live under the same roof.

But the old man's next words temporarily calmed her: "The old comrades from the front lines have reported that Yinglong has performed well over the years. I am very confident in entrusting the future of the family to him."

However, the old man added, "If such internal strife happens again, even if I have the slightest doubt, I will not tolerate it. As a mother, you must teach Hero the responsibility and magnanimity of a future family head."

This was a combination of carrot and stick.

Huayang's mother knew why the old man had turned a blind eye to her actions against the woman and her child for so many years. After more than a decade, if she still thought of eliminating the root, her own family would also disapprove of her.

But as long as that woman and her child were alive, she could not find peace.

The venomous woman had another plan. If she couldn't eliminate the root internally, she would spend a lot of money to hire powerful paranormal organizations to do the job. As long as it was done cleanly, could the old man do anything to her?

Thinking this, the venomous woman's face remained expressionless, but her heart was filled with resentment: "We have a long time ahead; wait and see!"

Half an hour later, the family meeting ended.

Lei Wei and Li Ming, who had been instructed by Huayang to do this, were clearly seen by everyone. If Huazhilong wanted to investigate, he could gather all the relevant clues and evidence within ten minutes.

Since Lei Wei and Li Ming's families had business dealings with the Hua family, they could not be punished too severely, but they also could not be let off. The heads of both families beat the two until their buttocks were bloody before taking them away.

Although the Hua family was not a superpower, their influence was immense. Who would dare to provoke a tiger?

After everything returned to calm, a person was hiding in a corner of the Hua family compound. It was Huazhilong's main wife, who secretly dialed a special number.

After a few seconds, a voice from the other end of the phone said, "This is Peninsula Hotpot City. What would you like to order for delivery?"

Huazhilong's main wife's eyes flashed with cruelty, and she said, "I want to order the spider package."

The hero was unaware that a deadly trap was about to be set for him.
