Rebirth 78: After being jilted at the altar, I reached the pinnacle!

Upon seeing this, Li Hanliang's eyes lit up even more.

Looks like today is destined to be a big battle, how exciting!

He rolled up his sleeves, grabbed a stool from the side, and smashed it at the head of the security team.

The cafeteria was in chaos.

Fearing he might get caught in the crossfire, Zhou Pengfei ducked to the side, but kept shouting, "Grab him! Grab him!"

"You guys leave quickly!"

Li Hanliang didn't stop talking either; he picked up a stool and swung it around, clearing a safe area for Pei Shuxin and Chen Shuyun.

Pei Shuxin was worried about him and didn't leave, but urged Chen Shuyun, "You should leave quickly, everything's fine here!"

When Li Hanliang saw Pei Shuxin rush in and actually want to fight against the security guards with him, he felt both touched and anxious.

Now is not the time to show off or to display affection!

"Shuxin, go quickly, don't cause me any more trouble!"

Li Hanliang protected her and tried to get her out the window.

Just then, he was distracted, and a security guard behind him struck him on the back with a club!

"My Cao..."

Li Hanliang was so angry that he cursed and picked up a stool to hit someone.

The situation in the canteen became even more chaotic. Tables, benches, pots and pans were all in disarray. In this era of scarcity, the sound of plates and bowls breaking made one's heart tremble.

Zhou Weijun couldn't bear to watch this scene. He grabbed a large ladle and stepped forward, his voice booming, "Stop it, all of you!"

"stop!"

The veteran's voice carried the intimidating power of someone who had fought on the battlefield, and the security guards, who usually listened to Zhou Weijun, quickly stopped.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chen Shuyun quietly slipped out through the back door.

Security guards and students crowded the cafeteria.

Zhou Pengfei is not tall, and when he came out from the corner, he didn't see Chen Shuyun slip away at all.

What he hates most right now is this old geezer who's been occupying the school cafeteria and won't leave.

Just because he served in the army and fought in battles for a few years, he actually dared to ride on his head as the principal.

"Old Zhou, these people are causing trouble in the cafeteria, aren't you going to do anything about it? You were sent to the cafeteria, do you really think you're here to retire? You don't even care about the students' safety and the school's reputation? Do you even deserve the title of a veteran of the Long March?"

Zhou Pengfei launched into a barrage of questions, expressing his dissatisfaction with the old man for so long.

Zhou Weijun didn't argue with him, but looked at him coldly and authoritatively. "These are all young people, about the same age as vocational school students. Principal Zhou, do you really need to be so aggressive?"

“Me, being aggressive? Old Zhou, don’t you know that most of these vagrants in society these days are young men and women in their early twenties? Look at these three, which one of them looks like a decent person?” Zhou Pengfei pointed at Li Hanliang and Pei Shuxin.

His gaze froze instantly.

That's when he realized the young reporter was gone!

Pei Shuxin wasn't about to tolerate him. She coldly questioned, "Principal Zhou, what do you mean by this? I'm wearing the uniform of the county's state-owned textile factory, and I have my work ID from the factory in my pocket. How does that make me an improper person? Are you implying that all female textile factory workers are improper? That textile factories are shameful places compared to technical schools?"

Zhou Pengfei had no time to think about her; his mind was filled with worry.

He pushed through the crowd, intending to find Chen Shuyun.

Li Hanliang stopped him and questioned him, "We are all good young people working for the government, what gives you the right to call us hooligans?"

"Alright, Hanliang," Old Zhou called out to him, "Stop being so glib. Here's what happened, Principal Zhou: today's incident was my fault. I let these three children in, so I'll take responsibility for any mistakes. Please stop making a scene. Get the students back to class right away."

How could Zhou Pengfei not make a scene? The young reporter had slipped away so quickly, and these people now looked so confident; he suspected they had already obtained evidence.

The only place in the canteen where he could tamper with things was by injecting water into the pork.

He was now almost certain that these people were after the water-injected pork!

It's highly likely that the three of them are in cahoots with Zhou Weijun! That old bastard has quite the ambition; he actually wants to bring him down!

"Well, Zhou Weijun, I usually respect you because you're a veteran of the Long March, so I've turned a blind eye to many of your actions. I never expected you to betray your own people and invite outsiders to the government canteen!" Although Zhou Pengfei said this, he still didn't dare to directly attack Zhou Weijun.

He paused, then ordered the security guards, "Quickly arrest these two people and take them to the police station for thorough questioning!"

Zhou Weijun stopped them, "Who dares?"

His eyes were piercing and dignified, which startled the security guards who were about to step forward, causing them to take a few steps back.

Zhou Weijun then said, "Principal Zhou, what I mean is, let's just leave it at that. Otherwise, do you think you'll bear no responsibility if things continue to escalate?"

"Who suddenly barged into the cafeteria with dozens of security guards and caused the chaos?"

Pei Shuxin also said, "That's right. If it was wrong of Mr. Zhou to let us in, it's even more wrong of you, Principal, not to set an example and instead cause chaos and damage to campus order!"

Under their interrogation, Zhou Pengfei felt waves of pain in his back molars, and his teeth felt like they were about to break.

Well, these few mediocre cowards actually dare to outmaneuver him!

"Old Zhou, you really handled this matter beautifully today. I underestimated you before. I never expected that you, who look so righteous, would be so treacherous at heart!"

After saying that, he looked at the students with a righteous expression, "Everyone, no one is allowed to spread what happened today. With Teacher Zhou here, we should just let it go. But if anyone finds out later that someone has lost something or is injured, please don't try to take responsibility for it yourself."

"Come to me, and the principal will stand up for you!"

Li Hanliang listened to him with a frown, feeling like he was about to throw up his breakfast.

How did that scoundrel manage to say those things without batting an eye?

Li Hanliang used to consider himself a shrewd businessman, but now he feels he couldn't be more kind.

"Let's go, students, let's get to class!"

Zhou Pengfei organized the students.

He now appears not only kind, but also very refined and dignified.

Li Hanliang and Pei Shuxin exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat speechless.

"Security guard, take these two back to the textile factory first. Remember to tell Director Pei that if any property is lost at the school, I will go to them." Zhou Pengfei gave the instructions, and his whole demeanor returned to its calm and composed state.

Before turning around, his gaze fell menacingly on Li Hanliang.

It seems to be saying——

Boy, you're dead!
