Chapter 139: Isn't This About Upholding Justice? Returning the Money?

Page 1 of 3

“Zhang Chu, whatever you do, don’t tell people you’re the deputy director of the Armaments Division. Our division really can’t afford that kind of disgrace.”

Seeing that Zhang Chu was about to lose his temper, Liu Tianhe, who never missed a chance to make matters worse, added, “No one would mistake you for a mute if you kept your mouth shut, you moron!”

Zhang Chu showed him no mercy. In front of everyone, he confronted Liu Tianhe head-on.

“You!”

Liu Tianhe’s blood pressure shot up.

But he couldn’t beat Zhang Chu, so what else could he do?

All he could do was wait for his father.

Fan Tianlei’s head was buzzing as well.

Although the Armaments Division had always been under Zhang Daoyi’s command, Liu Tianhe’s father was no one to provoke either.

Even Fan Tianlei had to give him a wide berth.

Then, with a sudden change of thought, Fan Tianlei decided that he was the real idiot.

Anyone capable of becoming Guan Zifang’s disciple could easily stand up to Liu Tianhe. What was there to fear?

“Dad, Director Chen has gone to the War God Academy. You’ll have to make the decision now,” said Fan Dayong.

The Martial Administration Bureau had had a difficult time over the years. Its standing in the eyes of university students had gradually sunk lower and lower, and this incident was indeed troublesome.

“Boy, you made this mess, so you solve it.”

Fan Tianlei tossed the problem to Zhang Chu.

Zhang Chu said nothing. He turned and walked out of the gaming hall.

On the way, Zhang Chu made two phone calls.

“Dayong, find someone to keep an eye on things. Make sure that brat doesn’t lay a hand on those university students. They’re going to be the backbone of our Binzhou in the future.”

The moment Zhang Chu left, Fan Tianlei hurriedly issued the warning.

“Brother Zhang Chu, wait for me!”

Huang Lili had just taken off her brain-computer helmet. Still utterly bewildered, she hurried after him.

……

Outside the Martial Administration Bureau, everything had already descended into chaos.

Wang Xiaochuan and several others were leading the crowd in raising their fists and shouting slogans.

As vice president of the Binzhou University Alliance, Wang Xiaochuan felt it was both his duty and his responsibility to lead these pure-hearted, foolish university students in seeking justice for the poor elderly couple.

Even if their opponent was Zhang Chu, the pride of Binzhou.

Zhang Chu had achieved his current accomplishments in just three or four months, and most of his classmates were deeply resentful of him.

Now that they finally had a chance to find fault with him, how could those former classmates from Binzhou University possibly let it slip away?

“Uncle Zhang, Auntie Zhang, don’t worry. Even if Zhang Chu is now the pride of Binzhou, he still falls under the authority of the Martial Administration Bureau. We will definitely get justice for you!”

“What good people! There are still plenty of righteous university students like you.”

Zhang Erhe nearly laughed aloud inside.

The mysterious person he had encountered a few days ago really had been kindhearted.

Not only had that person helped him register an account on the forum and stir up public outrage against Zhang Chu, but they had even paid the University Alliance to lend a hand.

This time, no matter how powerful Zhang Chu was, he would still have to support the two of them.

“Look! Zhang Chu is coming out!”

Someone in the crowd spotted Zhang Chu’s car appearing at the entrance.

“Surround it! Don’t let someone like him get away!”

At Wang Xiaochuan’s rallying cry, a group of idiots rushed forward and blocked Zhang Chu’s path.

“Cuihua, don’t worry. No matter what happens, that boy Zhang Chu is going to support us this time. Once he admits his mistake, we’ll make him get our son a teaching position at the Martial Arts Research Institute. Then we’ll really be living in glory.”

Seeing the scene before him, Zhang Erhe smiled.

His own son was a good-for-nothing who had never applied himself to his studies.

If they hadn’t happened to see those short videos, they would never have known that Zhang Chu—the child they had abandoned at the Binzhou Welfare Institute—had grown into such an outstanding person.

Left with no choice, Zhang Chu got out of the car.

He couldn’t very well run these university students over.

“Zhang Chu, you owe us an explanation! Otherwise, you have no right to call yourself the pride of Binzhou!”

“That’s right! Explain yourself! Why won’t you support your own uncle and aunt?”

The crowd looked like some self-righteous league of heroes, pointing fingers at Zhang Chu and angrily shouting over one another.

At a glance from Zhang Erhe, the elderly couple threw themselves onto the ground and began wailing.

Between sobs, they claimed that Zhang Chu’s parents had died when he was young and that the two of them had raised him from infancy, feeding him and caring for him through every hardship.

Only because their family had been too poor, they said, had they ultimately made the decision to violate their ancestors’ wishes and send Zhang Chu to a welfare institute.

Zhang Chu rolled his eyes.

Your own son is the one who was raised on filth and urine!

That performance immediately broke through the University Alliance’s defenses of sympathy.

Everyone surged forward, and the scene became a cacophony.

“Wang Xiaochuan, since you’re so kindhearted, why don’t you take them in and support them yourself?”

Zhang Chu had no good feelings whatsoever toward Wang Xiaochuan and the others, his former classmates.

“Everyone, listen to that! Those are the words of a professor at the Martial Arts Research Institute, the pride of Binzhou. Does he even sound human?”

Wang Xiaochuan nearly flew into the air to announce to everyone that Zhang Chu was no human being.

“Little Chu, your uncle and aunt don’t know how we offended you. How could you order the security guards at West Sand Garden to beat us again and again?”

“I know you’re angry with us, but we only ever acted for your sake. You can’t become an ungrateful wretch!”

Supporting Cuihua, Zhang Erhe pushed his way to the very front of the crowd and began slapping his thighs while howling in grief.

For heaven’s sake!

Zhang Chu’s scalp prickled.

“Brother, you really had a hard life. You took all those pills and died for Su Mingyue, and now you’ve even left me with these two shameless scoundrels…”

“Punish Zhang Chu severely!”

At Wang Xiaochuan’s shout, everyone began chanting. Their voices were deafening, loud enough for the entire Martial Administration Bureau to hear.

Videos and photographs of the scene were being uploaded to the forum in real time.

Zhang Chu was nearly beaten to death by public opinion online.

Wait!

Just then, Zhang Chu sensed an unusual fluctuation of energy.

He raised his head. At the back of the crowd, a middle-aged man wearing a black mask and hat turned and walked away.

“Damn it, a demi-human!”

Having entered the Brain-Computer Beast Realm twice, Zhang Chu had encountered several hundred demi-humans.

Only demi-humans possessed that strange energy signature.

A demi-human had actually infiltrated Binzhou City.

Zhang Chu understood at once.

There was no way Zhang Erhe’s intelligence was sufficient for him to come up with such a vicious scheme against Zhang Chu.

Someone was clearly pulling the strings from behind the scenes.

“It’s those bastards from the Godfall Alliance again!”

Zhang Chu was so furious that his teeth ached. He wished he could kick Wang Xiaochuan and the other idiots into the air.

They had been used by someone else and still believed themselves righteous.

With intelligence like that, failing the martial arts examination was only natural.

“Principal Huang, if you don’t get here soon, I’m going to take action.”

Before long, Zhang Chu finally saw the reinforcements he had summoned rushing over.

Everyone turned their heads and saw Huang Wen-zhan, the president of Binzhou University, hurrying toward them with a grave expression.

The students from Binzhou University immediately lost their swagger. They parted to make way for him and bowed respectfully.

“Professor Zhang Chu, I’m sorry for arriving late.”

After offering a brief apology, Huang Wen-zhan turned sternly toward the hundreds of Binzhou University students led by Wang Xiaochuan.

“You’ve all gone completely out of control! Where have you put the school motto of Binzhou University?”

“Principal, Zhang Chu is the one acting like a beast!” Wang Xiaochuan muttered, while the others began whispering among themselves.

“Silence.”

“Did you forget that our school issued an appointment notice just a few days ago? Mr. Zhang Chu is now our honorary president. You surrounded and attacked the honorary president. Under school regulations, every one of you will be expelled and permanently stripped of your eligibility to take the martial arts examination!”

Huang Wen-zhan’s words struck the students like a bombshell, instantly clearing the innocent look from their eyes.

In their eagerness to defend justice, they had actually forgotten the school motto!

“Principal, I… I didn’t mean it that way.”

Wang Xiaochuan came to his senses. He looked at Zhang Chu as though he were about to cry, then immediately collapsed limply to the ground.

Without eligibility to take the martial arts examination, he would be no different from a crippled waste.

“Well then, tell me how much the Godfall Alliance paid you. I’d also like to know whether university students on the Spirit Qi Continent really work for peanuts.”

Boom!

The moment Zhang Chu spoke, everyone was stunned.

The Godfall Alliance?

What did the Godfall Alliance have to do with this?

Hadn’t they been standing up for justice out of the goodness of their hearts?

They had actually been paid?
