"Hello? Who is this?" A puzzled inquiry came from the other end as the call connected.
Hearing the voice, Lin Zheng flared up again, "Wang Yu, look at the mess you've made for me!"
"Bang—" A sound came from the phone, indicating how shocked the other party must have been!
"B-b-boss?!"
"You still remember I'm your boss?! What have you done with the task I entrusted to you?!"
"Please calm down! Calm down! You have to tell me what I did wrong! If you just get angry like this, I won't know what it's about!"
"You blame me for getting angry!" Lin Zheng's anger flared even more!
"I told you to look after Dragon Garden, but what have you done? You've turned my Dragon Garden into a high-class brothel?!"
"A h-high-class brothel?!" Wang Yu was also stunned.
His boss would never speak idly; if it weren't for a good reason, his boss's usually gentle temper would never be so furious!
And for the world's top educational institution to be associated with the word 'brothel'—just thinking about it made Wang Yu's heart pound.
He had originally thought no one would dare to target Dragon Garden, especially since it was right under the emperor's nose and he had already made arrangements when entrusting Dragon Garden, so he had always been quite at ease and hadn't paid too much attention.
Who knew such a huge mess had been stirred up!
As soon as he thought of this, an unidentifiable anger surged in Wang Yu's heart.
"Alright! You're treating my words like they're nothing, aren't you! You've made such a big mess, causing me to be scolded by the boss.
If this gets out, what face will I have left!
And also! Face is a small matter, but if this gets to a certain feminist's ears..." Just thinking of this, Wang Yu's face twitched, and the fire in his heart grew even larger!
Taking a deep breath, Lin Zheng slightly calmed his agitated emotions and said in a deep voice, "I'll settle this matter with you later, but if you don't clean up this mess for me now, you don't need to call me boss anymore!"
"Don't! Don't! Don't! Don't worry, I'll definitely handle this perfectly!" Wang Yu cried out in a panic, "You! Just don't be angry!"
"I'm about to explode with anger and you tell me not to be angry!" Lin Zheng shouted, scaring Wang Yu on the other end of the phone into scurrying away!
"Alright, if you promise me one thing, I'll let you off!" Lin Zheng exhaled.
Wang Yu was overjoyed to hear this and quickly asked, "Tell me, what is it!"
"I'm in a bit of trouble recently, so don't tell anyone about my appearance!"
"Ah?!" Wang Yu was stunned, then exclaimed, "That's impossible! If Da Jie Tou finds out, I'm dead!"
"You're afraid of her, but aren't you afraid of me?!" Lin Zheng couldn't help but threaten.
"I'm more afraid of her!"
"Damn it—!"
...
After a series of threats and inducements, Wang Yu was finally sorted out.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Zheng casually glanced at the four security guards and Zhang Ting, all of whom had turned pale.
Anyone who wasn't an idiot could guess that this seemingly young man in front of them had an incredibly powerful background; otherwise, who would dare to casually make a phone call after beating up a vice-ministerial level official, and from the looks of it, this wasn't some princeling, but a real power player!
"Listen carefully, someone will be here soon.
If you let him escape, you'll be in big trouble!" Lin Zheng said indifferently.
The security guards immediately straightened up and, ignoring Zhang Ting's curses, quickly lifted him up.
Turning back, Lin Zheng looked at the girl injured by Zhang Ting.
This should be one of the 'Young Misses' cultivated by the Young Miss Fund, he thought.
Lin Zheng carefully observed the girl; although half of her face was somewhat swollen from the beating, her beauty was still evident.
Even in her shock, she exuded an incomparable noble aura.
Considering her previous conversation with Zhang Ting, Lin Zheng was even more certain of her character!
Very good!
The Young Misses cultivated by the Young Miss Fund are indeed excellent!
"What's your name?" Lin Zheng asked.
"Me?!" The girl was startled for a moment, then answered very generously, "My name is Bai Ling! The last 'Young Miss' of Dragon Garden!"
Looking at the somewhat melancholic Bai Ling, Lin Zheng couldn't help but tenderly caress her injured cheek.
"Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt! My heart hurts!"
"Good girl!" Lin Zheng suddenly embraced Bai Ling, tenderly stroking her long hair, "You are all my Young Misses, and no one can bully you.
Those who bully you, I will make them pay back tenfold, a hundredfold!" As he spoke the last words, Lin Zheng gritted his teeth.
Turning his head, he glared fiercely at Zhang Ting, scaring Zhang Ting so much that his legs went weak.
This fellow had made the perfectly fine Dragon Garden a chaotic mess!
"I'm leaving now; someone will come to deal with Dragon Garden's affairs soon!" Lin Zheng said, gently stroking Bai Ling's injured cheek.
A miraculous thing happened: the swollen cheek quickly subsided, and in the blink of an eye, it became perfectly white and flawless!
Bai Ling felt her cheek no longer hurt, but she didn't realize her cheek had already healed.
She only felt that the person in front of her was truly gentle, like a brother who had avenged his sister, making her feel a sense of reliance!
"When Wang Yu comes later, tell him that my Dragon Garden no longer needs a principal!"
"No principal?" Bai Ling was a little surprised, "Then how will the school operate? Many things cannot be done without a principal!"
"I'd rather not have a principal like that!" Lin Zheng sneered, glancing at Zhang Ting.
"Tell that guy Wang Yu this: Dragon Garden is my territory.
Any official who dares to stick their claws in, no matter who it is, chop them off for me!
As for the school's management, tell him to bring all the Young Misses back to me.
I refuse to believe that the elites I've cultivated can't manage this school!"
"Ah?!" Bai Ling was completely shocked.
A world-class institution was actually going to be so easily handed over to a group of young women to manage?
"Manage it well, okay! If you need money, go ask that guy Wang Yu for it!" Lin Zheng ruffled Bai Ling's hair.
Before Bai Ling could react, Lin Zheng had already withdrawn his hand and turned to walk out of the principal's office.
Seeing this, Bai Ling quickly chased after him, shouting at Lin Zheng's retreating back, "Brother, what's your name?!"
"I am Shengun!" As he spoke, Lin Zheng had already entered the elevator.
Watching the elevator doors slowly close, Bai Ling couldn't help but stomp her small foot, pouting and muttering, "You bad guy, you won't even tell me your name!"
How could she know that at this moment, Lin Zheng was also muttering somewhat dejectedly in the elevator, "Damn it, I'm so used to being called that, I just directly thought of myself as Shengun!
Forget it! Shengun it is!"
A somewhat melancholic Bai Ling returned to the principal's office, glanced at the disheveled Zhang Ting, couldn't help but frown, then retreated and waited by the door for Wang Yu to arrive.
Ten minutes passed in a flash.
Inside the principal's office, Zhang Ting's eyes darted around.
Knowing that his future was hopeless, he prepared to escape!
However, being watched by four security guards, he couldn't escape even if he wanted to, so he tried to entice them, "You guys, aren't you just working as security guards for money?
How about this, if you let me go, I'll give each of you ten million—no, one hundred million!
How about it?!
One hundred million!
With one hundred million, you won't have to do this kind of work where you have to pander to people; you can live comfortably for the rest of your life!
You know you won't earn one hundred million in your entire lifetime!
Let me go!"
The security guards' hearts pounded when they heard this!
That's right!
Isn't everything for money?
Now, if they just let this guy go, they could get one hundred million at once!
It was impossible not to be tempted!
Seeing signs of temptation in the security guards, Zhang Ting was overjoyed and was about to continue enticing them when Bai Ling rushed in, righteously shouting, "Don't listen to his nonsense!
If you let him go, where will you get the money?
Even if you get the money, do you think you can escape from Brother's people?"
At these words, the security guards couldn't help but shiver.
That's right, judging by the demeanor of that person just now, he was definitely someone with immense power.
If they took the money but didn't live to spend it, no amount of money would be useful!
Seeing the security guards, who had been so easily swayed, retreat, Zhang Ting couldn't help but curse angrily!
"You stinking bitch! If I hadn't supported you, would you be where you are today, you ungrateful whore!"
Bai Ling's pretty face turned pale from the insults, and she trembled with anger, then retorted, "My parents raised and educated me; it was Brother's Young Miss Fund that cultivated me.
When have I ever used a single penny of yours? I'd rather die!"
"Well said!" A magnetic male voice suddenly sounded at the doorway.
The few people looked in surprise, only to see a young man standing ramrod straight in a suit at the entrance, looking remarkably handsome and extraordinary!
And behind him were several armed police officers with loaded guns!
Seeing this, Zhang Ting's face instantly turned ashen!
It's over, there's no escape now!
The person who arrived was none other than Wang Yu.
He dared not delay Lin Zheng's instructions; as soon as the call ended, he rushed over with his people.
However, to his disappointment, Lin Zheng had already left before he arrived.
Scanning the principal's office and finding no trace of Lin Zheng, Wang Yu couldn't help but sigh, then turned his gaze to Bai Ling.
Looking at the exceptionally elegant Bai Ling, Wang Yu was also somewhat surprised.
Is this a Young Miss cultivated by the Young Miss Fund?
She's indeed outstanding!
Many famous ladies in the capital can't compare to her!
“Hey, miss, could you please tell me what happened? The boss was furious just now, and I really didn't dare to ask him what exactly occurred!” Wang Yu gently asked Bai Ling. Wang Yu’s gentleness won Bai Ling’s favor, so Bai Ling, full of humiliation, recounted every detail of what had happened with the Young Misses’ Fund, completely unaware that as she spoke, Wang Yu’s face grew increasingly pale, and the veins on his clenched fists bulged!
“Enough!” Wang Yu stopped the teary-eyed Bai Ling from continuing. He just needed to know the general situation! It was too cruel to make this deeply hurt girl keep talking!
“Don’t be sad, I will get justice for you all!” Wang Yu comforted her. “Oh, right, did the boss give any instructions?”
“He said…” Bai Ling repeated Lin Zheng’s instructions. “Is that so? Let the young misses manage Dragon Garden? Alright, since it’s the boss’s order, no principal it is!” Wang Yu said indifferently.
“You! You have no right to do this! I am the principal appointed by the State Council! Even if I made a mistake, it should be judged by the Supreme Court, not by your arbitrary actions!” Whether his brain short-circuited or something, upon hearing Wang Yu’s words, Zhang Ting started shouting. Perhaps he thought Wang Yu looked gentle, refined, and young, and he could intimidate him, possibly escaping this predicament! Unfortunately, he once again underestimated the seemingly young man before him!
“Oh? So you’re the principal, Zhang Ting, right?” Wang Yu looked at Zhang Ting, whose face was covered in blood and resembled a pig’s head, with interest. It was better that this guy didn’t shout; once he did, Wang Yu’s attention, which hadn't been particularly focused, fell upon him.
Hearing Wang Yu’s words, Zhang Ting immediately puffed out his chest and said with a somewhat arrogant air, “I am Zhang Ting, the principal of Dragon Garden. Who are you? Who gave you the right to interfere with Dragon Garden’s affairs?! Is there no longer any rule of law?!”
“Interfere with Dragon Garden’s affairs? Who gave me the right? And you want to talk about rules?” Wang Yu smiled, but gradually, his gentle and refined smile turned cold and ferocious. He directly kicked Zhang Ting flying! “Where did this idiot come from! How can an idiot like you become the principal of Dragon Garden! What are those guys even doing?!” Wang Yu cursed, then went straight up and gave him another brutal beating. “You bastard! Because of your idiotic actions! I got a scolding! Who do you think you are, worth me taking the blame for you?! And you dare to talk to me about being appointed by the State Council, bah! Do you even know that your position as principal was taken from my boss’s hands? Do you know what ‘taken’ means? Who do you think you are, daring to be arrogant with me?!”
“You! You all!” Zhang Ting spat blood, his face distorted with rage. “As long as I haven’t been convicted, I am still the vice-ministerial principal of Dragon Garden for one day! You assaulted a state official without authorization! Even if I fall, I will never let you off lightly!”
“Oh, ho! Still daring to threaten me!” Wang Yu shook his head. “This guy is truly beyond cure, so stupid that I feel my hands getting dirty just hitting him!”
“Hmph! You know to be afraid now, don’t you?!” Zhang Ting sneered. But as soon as he spoke, the several armed police officers who came with Wang Yu couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“Alright, stop laughing, I’m really scared!” Wang Yu said playfully, then changed his tone, pouting, “Don’t kill him—oh, it doesn’t matter if he dies! Right, drag him somewhere else, don’t dirty this place!”
“Got it!” An armed police officer chuckled, walking towards Zhang Ting with an ill-intentioned look. Zhang Ting’s face instantly paled, and he cried out, “You can’t do this! I am from the Zhang family! If you touch me, the Zhang family will definitely come after you!”
“The Zhang family?” Wang Yu scoffed, “What kind of trash is this Zhang family you speak of?! Just despair properly! No one can save you! Drag him away, he’s an eyesore!”
“Yes, sir!” The armed police officer saluted, very seriously carrying out the order—dragging Zhang Ting out despite his wailing!
“Next, it’s time to find those young misses!” Wang Yu exhaled, muttering, “This might be a bit tricky. I wonder how many officials are involved!” When Bai Ling heard him say it was tricky, her eyes immediately lost some of their luster. Indeed, the involvement was too great; her brother’s sworn brother might be willing but unable to help!
“Hey—what’s with that expression? I only said it’s tricky, not impossible!” Wang Yu widened his eyes and said, “This matter was assigned by the boss. If I don’t handle it well, he’ll tear me apart! So worry less!” Seeing Bai Ling brighten up, Wang Yu also smiled, then took out his phone and made a shushing gesture, “I’m making a call, please be quiet!”
The call connected, and a cold voice came from the phone, “What’s so important that you have to call me? If it’s a trivial matter, hmph—”
Wang Yu couldn’t help but shiver, making Bai Ling look on in surprise. Who was on the other end that could make someone as imposing as Wang Yu so afraid?
“It’s not a small matter! Absolutely not!” Wang Yu quickly said, “I, well, wasn’t I supposed to be watching over Dragon Garden? This, something happened!”
“Oh?” The woman on the other end of the phone frowned, seemingly quite concerned about Dragon Garden. “What happened? Can’t you solve it yourself?”
“That, someone messed with the boss’s Young Misses’ Cultivation Fund, and as a result…” Wang Yu briefly described the situation, carefully. But the faint “squeaking” sound coming from the phone let him know that Da Jie Tou was on the verge of exploding. That “squeaking” sound was clearly the lament of some poor phone! He even worried if Da Jie Tou’s phone could last until he finished explaining!
“So, it’s a bit troublesome for me to go find the young misses taken by those officials alone. I had no choice but to ask Da Jie Tou for help!”
“Bang—” Da Jie Tou slammed her hand onto the desk in front of her, scattering it, and roared, “You idiot! I told you to watch over Dragon Garden, and such a big incident happened!”
“Me! It’s my fault! I admit my mistake! But Da Jie Tou, the key now is to find those young misses, right!” Wang Yu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
“Do I need you to tell me that?!” Da Jie Tou said through gritted teeth. Without a doubt! Da Jie Tou was that feminist whom Wang Yu feared! Not to mention that Dragon Garden was her territory, just the incident involving the young misses, if she found out, there was absolutely no way it would end well! She showed a cold smile, muttering to herself, “They dare to touch our people, hmph! We’ve been keeping a low profile, so they all think we’re easy to bully, right?!”
“You idiot! Hurry up and get over here! First, resolve this matter, and I’ll settle your score later!”
“Yes! Yes! I’ll be right there!” Wang Yu dared not delay in the slightest. He hung up the phone and then let out a long sigh of relief. Thankfully, he wasn’t caught by Da Jie Tou on the spot. Now, he could atone for his mistakes. As long as this matter was handled properly, Da Jie Tou’s anger would subside a bit, and his punishment would be much lighter! What a stroke of luck!
“Well, I’ll have some people come over to handle the school’s affairs later. Since you are one of the Dragon Garden administrators personally appointed by the boss, stay here and wait for them. Learn how to manage the school properly from them!” Wang Yu resumed his gentle and refined demeanor, speaking very kindly to Bai Ling. Bai Ling nodded, agreeing with Wang Yu’s decision. It was unrealistic to let them, the young misses, manage Dragon Garden directly. Wang Yu had thought things through thoroughly, even sending people to teach them hand-in-hand.
“I’ll give you my number. Call me if anything comes up, and don’t ever feel like you’re bothering me!” Wang Yu repeatedly emphasized not to feel like he was bothering her. After all, if another mess happened, he, the guardian of Dragon Garden, would be the one in trouble! After giving her the number, Wang Yu also had to leave. Da Jie Tou’s military order was still in effect, and he dared not waste time!
“Brother Wang!” Bai Ling couldn’t help but call out to Wang Yu.
“What is it?”
“That!” Bai Ling fidgeted a bit, feeling a little embarrassed, “My brother, he, what’s his name exactly?”
“Huh?” Wang Yu was slightly surprised. “You still don’t know his name?”
“I just asked, and he actually told me his name is Shengun!” Bai Ling puffed out her cheeks. Wang Yu, meanwhile, burst out laughing, “Hahaha! Shengun?! The boss’s nickname… it’s really too powerful!”
“Don’t laugh!” Bai Ling said, displeased, her charming expression appearing alluring. Wang Yu looked at her and was instantly captivated. Coming back to his senses, he chuckled at Bai Ling, “If the boss didn’t tell you, then I shouldn’t either. Don’t worry, you’ll know later!” With that, he quickly left, ignoring the young miss stamping her feet in anger!
