Chapter 5

Director Ma glared fiercely at Wang Ming, waved his hand, and left the large classroom with his subordinates. "Brat, you'll be arrogant for now, but wait until you're in the station, and see how I deal with you!"

Wang Ming turned to Gao Guo and said, "Director Gao, do you have something to say? If not, please wait outside."

Gao Guo's face turned a deep purple, and he said with a sour expression, "How can you talk to me like that? I came here for your own good!"

"I don't need it!" Wang Ming was not the least bit polite to his enemy.

Gao Guo trembled with anger, stomped his foot, and walked out in frustration.

Cen Wei, worried, said, "Wang Ming, Director Gao is a school leader, and what you did isn't good!"

Wang Ming suddenly reached out and pulled the two women into his arms. Cen Wei was startled and struggled fiercely when she came to her senses. What was this boy doing? She was his teacher, after all.

"Don't move, listen to me!" Wang Ming said sternly. "Something is wrong. They want to frame me. That mysterious person has a complicated background, and the police and Gao Guo are both working for him. Once I leave, it will depend on the two of you to help me out!"

The two women looked at each other, seeing the worry in each other's eyes. Guan Ying, in particular, clutched Wang Ming's arm nervously. "Then don't go!"

Wang Ming shook his head. "If I don't go, they'll pin the blame on me even more. They'll charge me with resisting arrest and assaulting a police officer, which will be more trouble. It's like mud in your pants; even if it's not shit, it will be considered as such!"

"What can we do?" Cen Wei asked, grasping the key point.

Wang Ming showed a relieved expression. "There are a few key people in this case. First, the student who called the police, found by Teacher Cen, is a witness to the time when Teacher Cen and I came to save you! The second is Tian Nina, who invited Guan Ying. If she tells the truth, Yang Yang will be exposed!"

Guan Ying's face was very pale. Thinking of Tian Nina's betrayal made her feel terrible. Betrayal by a close friend is the hardest to accept. If Tian Nina refuses to speak, things will really be in trouble!

"Is that enough?" Cen Wei was skeptical.

Wang Ming shook his head. "If we can do this, I won't have any major issues. At worst, it will be a fine for fighting and a few weeks in detention!"

The two women's faces were very pale. Wang Ming was clearly trying to save someone, yet things had turned out this way. This was the best outcome. If these two people refuse to testify, the trouble will be even greater, and he might be framed as the aggressor instead of the rescuer!

"Is there no other way?" Cen Wei murmured.

Guan Ying looked at Wang Ming expectantly. "There must be another way. I know you're the smartest, and there must be other solutions. I can't let you suffer this injustice!"

Wang Ming shook his head. "There's no other way! That young man is not ordinary, and we can't match him. That's why I wanted to kill them all at once. Unfortunately, I couldn't bear to let you go. If I die, I don't know what will happen to the rest of your life!"

Guan Ying held back her tears. She felt closer to Wang Ming than ever before. They say men need to be tested, and today's test for Wang Ming, if it were out of 100, she would give him 120.

"As long as you're safe, everything I do is worth it!" Seeing Guan Ying's tears welling up, Wang Ming cupped her face and smiled brightly.

Guan Ying nodded, choking back her tears, afraid to speak and break down.

"Teacher Cen, I'm worried about Guan Ying's safety. Please take care of her these days!" Wang Ming bowed to Cen Wei. Her performance tonight surprised him greatly. After Guan Ying's death in his previous life, he had cut ties with almost everyone, and he didn't know Cen Wei was such a just teacher.

Cen Wei frowned. "You're the student council president and a probationary party member. I'll go to the principal; they can't frame you like this! They're not just destroying you but the school's reputation!"

"It won't work. Talking to school leaders is less effective than talking to the students!" Wang Ming's eyes brightened, as if he had an idea, but then he shook his head in disappointment. "Unfortunately, Xiao Zilou, who is close to me, has gone back to the south. If he were here, he could help me!"

Cen Wei's face was grim. "Xiao Zilou, that playboy, what can he do? Is there anyone in the student council who can help you? At this moment, the student council is a significant force!"

Wang Ming recalled the members of the student council and said after a long thought, "Lin Hao! This guy is the type who loves chaos, but I'm afraid he'll make things worse!"

Cen Wei nodded. "Now, we need more people to know, not fewer! Rest assured, I won't let anyone harm Guan Ying! We will save you. You're my student, and I won't let anyone frame you!"

Wang Ming smiled gratefully at Cen Wei and wiped away the tears from Guan Ying's eyes. "I like the strong Guan Ying, the one who remains calm in the face of any difficulty! Wait for me, I'll come back!"

"Are you done?" A young police officer pushed the door open, his face unfriendly.

Wang Ming patted Guan Ying's shoulder and walked out. As he passed the young police officer, he stopped and gave a thumbs up. "From your tone, it sounds like I'm a suspect. You police are really talented!"

The young police officer, new to the job, blushed and lowered his head. Director Ma, however, was used to it and smiled. "We're doing this for your own good. The sooner we investigate, the sooner you can return to school!"

Wang Ming snorted in contempt. As for Director Gao, he ignored him completely.

Cen Wei and Guan Ying watched helplessly as Wang Ming was taken away, their chests filled with indignation and anger. In a short time, the situation had completely changed, giving them their first taste of the dark side of society.

"Teacher Cen, come in for a moment!" Gao Guo, seeing the two women ignoring him, coughed twice to remind them of his presence and called to Cen Wei.

Cen Wei glared at Gao Guo, patted Guan Ying's shoulder, and said, "Wait a moment!"

The large classroom soon echoed with the sound of an argument. Cen Wei angrily slammed the door and took Guan Ying's hand. "Let's go!"

"Teacher Cen, what happened?" Guan Ying asked.

Cen Wei's face was ashen. "Wang Ming was right. Gao Guo is one of them. He even asked me to testify for Yang Yang and to convince you not to speak. What a scoundrel! And he's a leader!"

"There's no point wasting time on such people. We need to act quickly!" Guan Ying frowned and put the matter aside, speaking softly.

Cen Wei hesitated. "I have an idea, but I'm not sure if it will work!"

"What idea?" Guan Ying asked hopefully.

Cen Wei bit her lip. "This was actually a hint from Gao Guo! The key is to find witnesses. Many students saw Wang Ming running to the teaching building. If someone is willing to come forward and tell the truth, it will prove that you were in danger and he was on his way to save you!"

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go find them now!" Guan Ying's face lit up with joy.

Cen Wei shook her head. "Wang Ming must know this too, but he didn't say it. I think he was considering your reputation. Once we start looking for witnesses, the events of tonight won't be kept secret, and there will be many rumors that could ruin your reputation!"

Guan Ying suddenly understood. The power of rumors in China is immense, and it can destroy a person with just a few words. Tonight, she was clearly saved in time, but if the news spreads, people will say she was violated. Some malicious people might even claim that she was on a date with Yang Yang and was caught by Wang Ming, leading to a conflict. The nature of the incident would change.

Despite the terrifying consequences, Guan Ying said firmly, "It doesn't matter. As long as we can save Wang Ming, let them say what they want! Teacher Cen, I think we should make a big deal out of this, publicize the whole story, and let all the students know."

Cen Wei looked at Guan Ying in surprise, impressed by the courage of this seemingly weak girl. If Guan Ying isn't afraid, why should she be? She nodded. "Alright, let's do it!"

In fact, Cen Wei had another plan, but she didn't mention it. If things got to the point where it was unavoidable, she would give up her current free life to stand up for Wang Ming. Wasn't it just a matter of using connections and influence? She, Cen Wei, wasn't afraid of that!

"Wait, Teacher Cen!" Guan Ying stopped Cen Wei.

"What is it?" Cen Wei looked at Guan Ying, puzzled.

Guan Ying paced back and forth, her face showing struggle. After a long time, she said, "Teacher Cen, don't mention that mysterious young man. Shift the blame to Yang Yang."

"Why? That young man is the real culprit!" Cen Wei was confused.

"I know! But to save Wang Ming, we have to do this! The key is the attitude of the mysterious person. He's a smart person. If we show that we're willing to let him off, he might sacrifice Yang Yang and let Wang Ming go!" Guan Ying said, suppressing her anger.

"Ah? You want to compromise? How can that be? What if he refuses!" Cen Wei disagreed.

"Teacher Cen, as long as Wang Ming is safe, nothing else matters! If he refuses, I'll fight him, sue him, and use any means necessary to save him!" Guan Ying said firmly.

As the two women discussed how to save Wang Ming, in the police car, Wang Ming sneered. "Do we need handcuffs for an assistance investigation?" His hands were cuffed to the door handle, clearly the treatment for a suspect!

Director Ma didn't speak but gave a nod to the young police officer beside Wang Ming.

The young police officer nodded in understanding and suddenly grabbed Wang Ming's shoulder, punching him in the stomach. Wang Ming's stomach churned, and he coughed uncontrollably. Indeed, tonight would be tough.

Wang Ming lowered his head, his eyes flashing with deep hatred. Good, now I know it's you. I was worried you wouldn't show up!

Director Ma no longer hid his thoughts and sneered, "Wang Ming, do you really think we brought you here for assistance? Young Master Hou hasn't recovered yet. Pray he's fine, or you'll be in big trouble!"

"He's surnamed Hou? Good, I'll remember that!" Wang Ming licked his lips and smiled his signature smile.

Director Ma laughed. "You want to take revenge on Young Master Hou? Are you planning to take revenge on me too? I'm Ma Lianyun, the chief of the Fuan Street Police Station. Remember that, I'm waiting for you."

"I'll remember!" Wang Ming said, emphasizing each word. "I hope you can smile like me when the time comes!"

"Chief Ma!" The young police officer asked.

Ma Lianyun felt extremely uncomfortable, a sense of frustration and an inexplicable danger. He frowned. "He's a college student, a bit hot-headed is normal. Xiao Wu, I've reminded you many times, we must enforce the law strictly and not break it ourselves! Xiao Zhao, watch the road."

Xiao Zhao understood and said, "Yes, Chief Ma!"

Xiao Wu, hearing Ma Lianyun's words, looked at Wang Ming with a playful expression. This brat is playing tough with our chief? He doesn't know what 'death' means!

For the next few minutes, Wang Ming suffered greatly.

Under Zhao's control, the police car took the worst possible route, and every bump tightened the handcuffs on Wang Ming's wrists. By the time the car stopped at the police station, Wang Ming's wrists were red and swollen.

To Ma Lianyun's surprise, no matter how much pain Wang Ming was in, he always smiled, as if his body wasn't his own. This mental toughness didn't seem like a college student's but more like a middle-aged man who had seen much. If his mind was so deep, did he provoke me earlier just to find out Young Master Hou's identity?

"Chief Ma, how should we deal with him?" Xiao Wu asked with a sinister smile as the car stopped in the courtyard.
