護花近衛 - 第67章 給你轉個班級？ - 翰墨軒

"Education in the city is bound to be a bit better than out in the countryside where you're from, and the test questions are bound to be harder too." Kang Xiaofeng assumed Wei Zhao simply had not adjusted yet, and consoled him: "You'll get used to it soon enough."

"Mm." Wei Zhao nodded, unable to explain things more fully to Kang Xiaofeng. He thought Kang Xiaofeng a fine friend, but his own affairs were not something he could share with him.

Because they were simply people from two different worlds.

During the second class of the afternoon, an administrator from the discipline office came by with a notice: Director Wang Zhifeng wanted to speak with Wei Zhao, along with Zhong Yongliang, Gao Xiaofu, and Zhang Naipao.

Wei Zhao said nothing and rose directly to head out of the classroom. Kang Xiaofeng, however, was somewhat worried the school might punish Wei Zhao over this - after all, to have a disciplinary mark on one's record right before graduating from senior year would hardly be worth the cost.

But Wei Zhao had no such concerns. For one thing, he held something over Wang Zhifeng's head; for another, he was merely here to keep the princess company in her studies, and his records were all fabricated anyway. Let them mark his file however they pleased.

Zhong Yongliang, by contrast, changed color. He hesitated a moment before rising to his feet, and when Gao Xiaofu and Zhang Naipao saw him get up, they followed him out of the classroom.

At the doorway, Zhong Yongliang stopped in his tracks and said to Gao Xiaofu and Zhang Naipao: "When Wang Zhifeng asks about this morning later, we all say we don't know anything. We say Black Panther had some personal grudge with Wei Zhao that we know nothing about, that we only know Black Panther, that he asked us which one was Wei Zhao and we simply pointed him out - and beyond that, none of it has anything to do with us."

Gao Xiaofu and Zhang Naipao had been worried the school would punish them over this business; after all, neither of their families had the clout of Zhong Yongliang's. Zhong Yongliang might come out unscathed, but the two of them could well end up as scapegoats.

At Zhong Yongliang's instruction, he nodded at once and agreed.

Watching Wei Zhao's receding figure not far ahead, Zhong Yongliang clenched his fists in bitter hatred. Today's affair had cost him face badly, and all of it was thanks to this transfer student.

He had not expected Wei Zhao to be so formidable in a fight. It seemed his habitual way of settling things with his fists was no longer of much use.

When they reached Wang Zhifeng, and Wang Zhifeng had heard the accounts of Zhong Yongliang and the others, he naturally knew they were making it all up. Word had already come from the police station: that Black Panther was the chief of security at Zhong Yongliang's father's nightclub. Why would a chief of security come to a school for no reason to make trouble for Wei Zhao?

If anyone tried to tell Wang Zhifeng that this business had nothing to do with Zhong Yongliang, he would not believe it for a word. Still, Wang Zhifeng had previously sought instructions from the principal, and out of deference to Zhong Yongliang's family background, the matter could only be handled quietly. As for the police station, Black Panther had already taken the whole thing upon himself, so there was no need for Wang Zhifeng to offend anyone further over it.

So he gave Zhong Yongliang and the others a few words of reprimand and sent them back.

When only Wei Zhao remained, Wang Zhifeng did not ask much about the morning's events. It was plain that the morning's affair had little to do with Wei Zhao, so there was no need for Wang Zhifeng to ask.

He had kept Wei Zhao behind alone to sound out his opinion: "Wei Zhao, those lads Zhong Yongliang and the rest are no good, but because of his family connections the school cannot do much about them. How about I move you to another class?"
