169: Chapter 168 Moral Attack! Chen Lin, are you even human?

On the other side, outside the main gate of Lixian Academy.

A black commercial van slowly pulled to a stop, the door opened, and a group of people stepped out.

Leading them was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a crisp suit, his hair combed meticulously, and sporting gold-rimmed glasses, looking quite refined.

It was none other than Principal Gao Yi of Shi City Hongwen School.

He was followed by seven or eight people; most conspicuous among them were a male and a female student carrying video cameras.

Beside them was a middle-aged female teacher holding a microphone, and at the very back, two students were holding up a banner with red characters on a white background.

The words on the banner were written in large letters, visible from afar—

"A student hitting a teacher, what has this world come to?"

As soon as this scene unfolded, the students entering and leaving the gate of Lixian Academy glanced over, and many stopped, watching curiously.

"Holy crap, what's going on? Are they here to stir up trouble?"

"Look at that banner, a student hitting a teacher? Who is it?"

"It wouldn't be someone from our academy, would it?"

Principal Gao Yi stood at the very front, his expression calm, but a hint of coldness hid in his eyes.

The middle-aged female teacher beside him cleared her throat, picked up the microphone, and intentionally raised her voice, ensuring that the dozens of people around could hear her.

"Ahem, hello friends in the audience, I am your good friend, Reporter Sun Min."

"Everyone knows that I am a teacher, and I believe many of you have received enlightenment from me!"

"But you surely wouldn't expect that a shocking incident occurred at the school where I work some time ago!"

"Teacher Bai Jie from our school was actually slapped in the face by Chen Lin, a second-year student at Lixian Academy!"

"It is simply unheard of, and today, I, Reporter Sun Min, must seek justice for Teacher Bai Jie!"

Reporter Sun Min's voice was modulated and rhythmic, carrying the unique incitement characteristic of a professional media person.

She had been a journalism teacher for over a decade, so she knew exactly how to grab people's attention.

Once the camera was on, she had no fear.

No matter who the other party was, as long as the lens was pointed at you, you had to reason.

You dare to make a move? Then you are in the wrong.

You dare to snatch the equipment? Then you are guilty.

She knew this routine like the back of her hand.

Principal Gao Yi nodded slightly, very satisfied with Reporter Sun Min's performance.

His greatest strength was his intelligence; he knew when to be tough and when to be soft.

If he had just brought people to cause trouble at Lixian Academy, that would be suicide.

What was the scale of Lixian Academy?

It was a top-tier prestigious school in Daxia; to be honest, as the principal of Hongwen School, he was nothing compared to them.

But bringing a camera was a different story.

No matter how impressive Lixian Academy was, they had to care about public opinion, right?

No matter how arrogant Chen Lin was, could he really hit someone in front of the camera?

I don't believe it; is Chen Lin really that crazy?!

Aren't you a genius?

What geniuses care about most is their reputation!

Once the camera comes out, won't you explode?!

Principal Gao Yi sneered inwardly.

Why was he working so hard?

Because of Teacher Bai Jie.

It could be said that Teacher Bai Jie had put in a lot of effort behind the scenes for Principal Gao Yi to climb to his current position as principal.

Although the two were not husband and wife, but...

Now that Teacher Bai Jie had been slapped by a student, she had gone back and cried for several days, feeling incredibly wronged.

If he didn't even make a peep, what kind of man would he be?

How could he hold his head up in front of Teacher Bai Jie in the future?

Let alone his head, Teacher Bai Jie wouldn't even give him a good look.

Therefore, he had to make this trip.

And not only did he have to come, he had to make a huge scene.

"Chen Lin!"

"You dare to mess with my Teacher Bai Jie; if I don't ruin your reputation today, I won't go by the name Gao."

He turned his head to look at the team behind him; the cameras were set up, the banner was straightened, and Reporter Sun Min's microphone was ready.

Everything was ready.

"Let's go, inside."

Principal Gao Yi waved his hand, and the group marched imposingly toward the gate of Lixian Academy.

The security guard at the gate frowned as he watched this spectacle; after a moment of hesitation, he picked up the walkie-talkie to report it.

Damn it, someone is causing trouble again!

...

Meanwhile, on the side of the Lixian Academy playground, a crowd had already gathered.

Originally, the second-year students had a combat practice class today, and they were all gathered on the playground waiting.

As it turned out, someone shouted, "Someone has come to the academy to cause trouble, saying they are here to find trouble with Chen Lin."

In a rush, everyone swarmed toward the area near the main gate.

"Chen Lin? Who is that?"

"Holy crap, you don't know Chen Lin? Are you a spy? Are we first or second-year students of Lixian Academy, and you don't know Brother Lin's name?"

"Oh, you mean Brother Lin? Then I know, the bully Brother Lin, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes, that's him. What is the background of this group of people, daring to find trouble with Brother Lin?!"

"Tsk tsk, I think they don't want to live anymore! Brothers, what is our Lixian Academy school rule? Protecting our own! They dare to come to our turf and find trouble with Brother Lin, they really don't take us second-year students seriously! Let's beat them up!"

"Don't be hasty, look, they have cameras with them, do you dare to make a move? If things go wrong, we won't be able to help Brother Lin, and might even cause trouble for him!"

"True, let's see what Brother Lin says when he arrives."

"..."

The crowd was discussing it in a flurry of voices, their eyes fixed in the direction of the main gate.

Meanwhile, Chen Lin and his group were walking over from the direction of the dormitory building.

Old Fei was panting as he followed along, still nagging: "Xiao Lin, let me tell you, you need to be cautious about this matter."

"That group brought cameras, saying they want to attack you from a moral standpoint!"

"Hold your temper in a moment; if you make a move, you'll fall into their trap."

Chen Lin had his hands in his pockets, his expression changing from stunned to playful.

"Principal Gao Yi? Teacher Bai Jie?"

"And they want to play the moral card with me?"

"Once you two mention your names, won't the moral aspect just explode?"

Wang Gu followed behind, frowning and saying: "Brother Lin, how about I go and chase them away?"

"Any Tom, Dick, and Harry can come and try to frame us?"

"No rush."

"They came with cameras, so we have to reason with them."

Ye Huang and Gong Ling exchanged a glance, and both saw the same sentence in each other's eyes—

Brother Lin is going to reason?

That group of people is probably going to be unlucky.

The few of them crossed the playground and arrived near the main gate.

The watching students automatically cleared a path, and everyone's eyes fell on Chen Lin.

Principal Gao Yi also saw Chen Lin.

He had seen Chen Lin's photo and recognized him at a glance.

Looking at this young man walking over in casual clothes with his hands in his pockets, Principal Gao Yi's eyes narrowed.

This was the person who slapped Teacher Bai Jie's face.

Principal Gao Yi took a deep breath, his expression shifting from calm to serious, carrying a sense of righteousness like "I am here to seek justice."

Reporter Sun Min reacted even faster; seeing the main target arrive, she immediately raised the microphone, and the camera was aimed at Chen Lin.

At this moment, she had to firmly stand on the moral high ground!

Next was the trial on a moral level!

No matter how high your martial arts talent is, watch my mental attack; I'll finish you off!

"Student Chen Lin, right? A while ago you slapped Teacher Bai Jie, and now that we've come, not only are you not guilty, but you can actually still smile."

"Are you even human?"

"When you slapped Teacher Bai Jie, did you think about your morals at all?"

Reporter Sun Min spoke righteously, throwing a bomb right from the start.

Today, she wanted to see how Chen Lin would resolve this moral trap?!

To be honest, doing this caused great psychological harm to a student.

But so what? Reporter Sun Min was friends with Teacher Bai Jie in private, and the two were very close. Now that Teacher Bai Jie had been beaten, Reporter Sun Min naturally had to seek justice for her friend.

Although, Reporter Sun Min had also doubted the motive for coming to cause trouble this time.

After all, Teacher Bai Jie had always said that Chen Lin slapped her without rhyme or reason.

She was very sad and angry.

According to normal cases, there must be a motive first, then a result.

Just like up until now, Reporter Sun Min could not understand why Chen Lin would slap Teacher Bai Jie if there was no reason.

But then again, what the motive was actually didn't matter.

Because, besides being friends with Teacher Bai Jie, Reporter Sun Min was also a girl!

Ahhhhhhh, have you ever heard that girls are born with the ability to love others, ahhhhhhh!

Outside, girls must help girls!

So, whatever the motive was, it didn't matter; Reporter Sun Min was going to vent for Teacher Bai Jie!

"Chen Lin, you are so young and yet you hit Teacher Bai Jie."

"May I ask, are you even human?!"

"Answer me, Look at my Ace!"
