chapter 13

The video clearly mentioned the names of Zhuo Feng and Zhuo Yichen, and the mighty netizens were able to pick apart the people involved in the blink of an eye. Zhuo Yichen and Fu Xueqing’s background, Zhuo Feng’s character, school, orphanage, headmistress and Xiao Zhou… all these things were exposed on the internet, causing an uproar! Meanwhile, the little white fox was cozily sleeping in the middle of the night.

The headmistress of the orphanage actually seduced the little boys with the subsidy quota. All the kind-hearted people who supported the orphans were enraged and called through the Internet for the government to thoroughly investigate the matter and make all future subsidy processes transparent and open. They supported the orphans in order to let the orphans who really have dreams and ambition to overcome the hardships of life, not to let others use their kindness to satisfy their selfish desires!

While netizens lambasted the headmistress for being wretched and vile, they also argued about Zhuo Feng’s ‘love triangle’. Some think it was Zhuo Feng’s third party meddling, and he deserved to be expelled. Some people thought that Fu Xueqing was half-hearted and played around with two handsome guys. However, more people conceded that it was cruel to expel Zhuo Feng from the orphanage because of such a thing.

When the information had spread everywhere on the Internet, the captain of the police received the video sent to him by the little white fox, and saw that the man and woman inside took private videos and stored them, and the pictures appearing on the computer seemed to show that there were many such videos. Combined with the scandal of orphans in the ‘hidden rules’ of the headmistress, he immediately applied for a search warrant to verify the situation of the orphanage.

This was no small matter. They were in the provincial capital, not in a rural place. Once verified, this would be a national scandal. This can’t be delayed at all. Now that things have gone online and can’t end well, they must find out the facts and give a response as soon as possible. Otherwise, the people’s trust in the government would also be affected.

After considering all these aspects, at 1 o’clock in the morning, the police captain led the team to take away the headmistress and Xiao Zhou, and took out a warrant to search out all the things related to the case, things such as the headmistress’s computer and video camera, as evidence. The captain sealed Xiao Zhou’s cell phone in a plastic bag as took it in front of him and pressed twice to bring up the video inside, “This is what you sent me, right? Are you going to testify against your headmistress?”

The headmistress looked at Xiao Zhou in disbelief, her expression instantly furious, and she swore at him. Xiao Zhou kept explaining and saying it wasn’t him, but the headmistress didn’t believe it. She kicked him, refusing to give up even when she was pulled away. Xiao Zhou didn’t know how the video came from his mobile phone as there were only two of them in the room. If it wasn’t him, who could it be? Originally, the captain thought that he was humiliated and bravely exposed this, but when he saw the way he had been explaining himself in a flurry, he knew it was not his doing.

In the end, they could only consider that he had the same hobbies as the headmistress, and liked to record that kind of private video. Just, the mobile phone wasn’t set up well, and the video was sent out by mistake. Everyone accepted this explanation, so Xiao Zhou missed his only chance to clean his hands of it.

The headmistress was arrested, and everyone in the orphanage woke up to see it happen. The little white fox and Zhuo Feng also stood by the window to watch the incident outside. When seeing the headmistress and Xiao Zhou being escorted away in a disheveled state, wrapped only in bath towels, the little white fox shouted out of the window happily, twice.

Zhuo Feng picked her up and asked strangely, “Xiao Bai, why don’t you ever bark? Are you too small?”

The little white fox froze, thinking that a fox would never bark. How can she tell Zhuo Feng that she was not a Pomeranian?

Before she could figure it out, many people knocked on Zhuo Feng’s door. The little white fox cleverly hid in the corner under the bed, and even motioned to Zhuo Feng to show that she was hiding. Zhuo Feng was surprised by her humanized behavior, but the door was knocked so hard that he had to come forward and open it. Seeing that the corridor outside was full of people, he frowned and asked, “What are you doing?”

Everyone was more surprised than he was, and asked, “You still don’t know what happened?”

“What does it have to do with me?”

“Of course, it was you! The whole internet is full of news about you, saying that our headmistress has been sleeping with the orphans in the orphanage, and that you took revenge after you rejected her. And the fact that you offended Zhuo Yichen is all over the internet. There’s a video of it, you know. Look, the headmistress said you’re going to be expelled, and she’s going to kick you out of the orphanage, but she was caught!”

Zhuo Feng looked at the video transferred to his mobile phone, and his expression instantly became ugly. He wasn’t afraid to be driven out of the orphanage, but to expel him was to cut off the road to his future! Zhuo Yichen actually hated him so much, was so narrow-minded, and wouldn’t give up until he died. But he obviously had nothing to do with that Fu Xueqing, how could he be so unreasonable?

Zhuo Feng had never been so eager to become stronger as he did now. If he was strong enough, this kind of incident wouldn’t befall him. If he was strong enough, he wouldn’t be given up by the school. Even if he could win glory for the school, the school still chose to expel him for Zhuo Yichen. The Zhuo’s family once donated a library to the school. What did they donate this time? A gymnasium?

The little white fox felt the depressive energy emitted from Zhuo Feng’s body and couldn’t help but worry. Seeing Zhuo Feng sending those people away, she quickly ran out from under the bed, jumped to Zhuo Feng’s arms, and rubbed his cheeks. [Don’t worry, this school doesn’t want you, but other schools want you. You study so well, you can definitely go to school!]

Zhuo Feng listened to her gentle whine, and his heart miraculously calmed down. He smiled lightly. “I still have you anyway, and you will never abandon me and leave me, right?”

[ Of course, we had a deal.] The little white fox wasn’t used to such an intimate atmosphere. She was used to being cheerful. She learned to act adorable from pictures on Weibo, and made Zhuo Feng laugh all the time, completely putting aside his worries.

It must be a big deal for an 18-year-old senior to be expelled from school. However, the little white fox didn’t regard this as a thing. First of all, Zhuo Feng had a very good reputation. The first time was probably when he became the provincial champion of the college entrance examination. He also refused the ‘unspoken rules’ of the headmistress without fear of power. He was simply a model student among students, and was definitely liked by many schools. On top of that, Zhuo Feng was now working for the Mayor’s daughter. If such a big thing was revealed, the righteous and enthusiastic Mayor’s daughter will definitely help. Again, would their school dare to expel Zhuo Feng in such a stormy situation? Are they not afraid of making things worse?

She chose to expose the scandal in the middle of the night in order to make those people afraid to do anything toward Zhuo Feng under the watchful eye of the netizens. Just wait until Zhuo Feng goes to the capital to enroll in college and get rid of all this. Can that psycho, Zhuo Yichen, reach his hand out to the capital? Right now, unlike the original story, Zhuo Feng hasn’t been labeled as an ‘indecent’ or a ‘fraud’, has not been expelled from the school or driven out of the orphanage on grounds of poor character, had no reputation and wasn’t accepted by other schools. Now he was still very much sought after. The little white fox estimated that even if Zhuo Feng does nothing now, there would be other schools giving him an olive branch.

The little white fox was right. The next day, when Zhuo Feng went to the police station to give a statement, he received a call from the guidance director, saying that the expulsion was false. The school never had that idea, and was planning on nurturing him properly. Then, he received a phone call from three other high schools; one of which was close to the current school and promised to let him enter the class with the best teachers as long as he asked for it; a very modest one that promised to waive all tuition fees if he went; and a private school that promised to waive tuition fees, arrange free dormitories, get him into the best classes, and give him a scholarship for every exam if he went.

There was still one semester left before the end of high school. It doesn’t matter what class he entered, but exempting tuition fees and exam scholarships was very attractive for Zhuo Feng. Finding several ways out after just knowing that he was being schemed against put Zhuo Feng in a good mood, and he no longer felt the apprehension he had before.

His current school teachers were unfair, and they always helped the rich and the officials’ progeny. They also wanted to expel him. Thus, Zhuo Feng had no feelings for the school at all, and he didn’t want to win glory for such a school. So, for just one weekend, he considered taking the olive branch handed to him by the private high school that came forward to help him with the paperwork for a direct transfer!

Zhuo Feng’s transfer had set off a new wave among students. Outsiders didn’t know what happened, but they understood everything about it. Zhuo Feng, this was clearly him being forced to leave! Many students cursed the school for being stupid and didn’t see people clearly. They were blind to drive away the future provincial champion for the sake of scum like Zhuo Yichen.

Occasionally, a few of Zhuo Yichen’s fans jumped out to support the young master, but was scared off by the contempt from everyone. What about the young master? What good education has he received? Not only is he unreasonable and bullied others, but also nearly killed several stray dogs. Who would believe that he was a good man when he was a person capable of abusing small animals? He’s a psychopath!

The little white fox twirled around a few times, satisfied when she heard the voices of people cursing Zhuo Yichen everywhere. Now, she had nothing to do but lie in front of the pet shop window and bask in the sun, feeling so bored after a while. Then, she suddenly heard Fang Linlin talking to the captain on the phone, saying that Zhuo Yichen was suspected of bribery and has become the target of investigation. She immediately sprang up and decided to enjoy Zhuo Yichen’s miserable appearance after his failure.

When she ran to the Zhuo’s house, she saw the captain bring two people into the Zhuo’s home and said to the Zhuo’s family, “Zhuo Yichen is suspected of bribing the headmaster of No.1 Middle School and the headmistress of a suburban orphanage, and maliciously attacked his classmate Zhuo Feng. I hope you can cooperate with the police investigation.”

Mother Zhuo frowned. “My son’s legs are broken, and his right arm is broken. He could only rest in bed with such heavy injury. He can’t go to the police station. Besides, my son is only 18, how can he bribe someone? You must have made a mistake. Come back when you find substantial evidence.”

Mother Zhuo was very forceful and unreasonable. Finally, the captain left after a routine inspection, but all the communication records from Zhuo Yichen were put on record as evidence. Once it was found out that something was wrong, Zhuo Yichen couldn’t try to justify it.

When he left, Father Zhuo, who never spoke, strode to the bed and slapped Zhuo Yichen in the face. “Such a good thing you did!”
