Volume 1, Chapter 43: Double Standards—Who Gave You the Right?!

"Brother, it's really nothing. I'm not going to attend this class anymore."

Su Yingying was still trying to cover it up, her eyes panicked and dodging.

Just at that moment.

The classroom door was swung open, and a female instructor wearing glasses walked out with a stern expression.

"Are you Su Yingying's brother?"

"Stop making a scene in the corridor and disturbing others."

"Come over here, I happen to have something to tell you."

After walking out, the female instructor stood a short distance away and motioned for Su Ming to come over.

Doubtful, Su Ming walked toward her.

"Hello, I'm Chen Ling, the instructor for Class 3, Freshman Performance Department!"

"For this class, I invited an internet celebrity friend to share some professional knowledge with the students. However, because your sister's tuition fees haven't been paid in full yet, she can only audit from outside."

"This is an aristocratic performing arts school. In the future, many internet celebrities and stars will come here to lecture and impart valuable experience. Therefore, I suggest you pay the tuition in full as soon as possible. If your financial capacity is insufficient, I advise you not to put on airs beyond your means and expect to be here—"

Before she could finish, Su Ming interrupted her with a wave of his hand.

"Hold on..."

Su Ming turned his head back with an icy expression, pointed at Yingying not far away, and questioned instructor Chen Ling, "Are you telling me that you deliberately made my sister audit the class outside?"

"Just because her tuition wasn't fully paid? Even now that I've brought the tuition money, you still left my sister outside for a full hour, subjecting her to completely unequal treatment compared to the other students!"

Seeing this instructor's arrogant and condescending attitude, Su Ming felt disgusted, though he hadn't shown it yet.

But upon hearing that his sister had actually been driven out and left outside for a full hour—

Even with the door closed, and then hypocritically told that she was just auditing outside!

Heh...

Su Ming sneered inwardly, that coldness already surfacing on his face and erupting in his eyes.

An indescribable fury burned in his chest.

When his sister was subjected to such unfair treatment, he could not remain calm...

Even an iron will would shatter in an instant.

"Mr. Su, please calm down, or I cannot talk to you."

"You are just too extreme, it's frightening!"

"This makes it very hard for me to accept teaching your sister..."

By this time, instructor Chen Ling was already showing disgust and impatience.

In fact, she turned around as if to walk away.

"Stop right there!"

"Did I tell you to leave?"

Su Ming took a step forward, blocking Chen Ling's path directly, and rebuked her with a chilling glare.

His sudden movement turned Chen Ling's face pale. Clutching her chest, she took two steps back with a highly defensive posture.

"What do you think you're doing? This is a university, there are surveillance cameras everywhere!"

"If you dare lay a finger on me, I'll sue you until you're ruined! Just looking at your rough appearance, you've clearly never received a higher education. I will never teach the sister of someone like you, get lost!"

Terrified, Chen Ling pointed at Su Ming and shouted angrily.

*Crack!*

Su Ming delivered a slap with pinpoint accuracy and lightning speed.

Instantly!

Chen Ling was struck so hard her hair came undone and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth. She froze completely in place.

Never in her wildest dreams had she expected him to suddenly resort to violence.

"I never hit women, but you don't even deserve to be human!"

"From your eyes, I saw someone who looks down on others..."

"My sister doesn't have to take this class, but the harm you caused her today must be compensated for. Walk over there right now and apologize to her!"

Su Ming's gaze was as cold and sharp as a blade, impossible to meet directly.

Especially the murderous aura emanating from him felt almost tangible, sending a chill through Chen Ling's entire body.

All the anger and grievance from taking a slap were swallowed right back down.

"Go, now!" Su Ming demanded coldly once more.

Trembling with fear, Chen Ling shrank her neck and avoided his gaze, then carefully scurried past Su Ming.

She reached Su樱樱 (Su Yingying), but instead of apologizing, she sprinted forward frantically.

"Help! Someone is trying to kill me!"

"Someone is trying to murder me, help!"

At her screams, the doors of several surrounding classrooms burst open, and numerous students rushed out to watch the commotion.

A few instructors also approached with looks of utter confusion.

The head of student affairs hurried over at that moment as well.

"Instructor Chen, what is going on here?!"

The head of student affairs rushed up and demanded urgently.

"Director, you have to seek justice for me!"

"This person—it was him! He just attacked me, look at what he did to my face!"

Chen Ling pointed at the corner of her mouth and the handprint on her cheek, wailing like a shrew.

"Such a thing actually happened? Don't worry, Instructor Chen, I'll go see right now who has the guts!"

"Daring to assault someone inside Longzhou University, is there no law left?!"

With that, the head of student affairs strode over angrily. Seeing Su Ming, he furrowed his brows.

Looking livid, he demanded, "Mr. Su, why did you resort to violence and hit an instructor of all people? Once word of this gets out, public opinion alone will ruin you!"

"Right now, you must give an explanation and apologize to Instructor Chen. If she refuses to settle, prepare to be dragged away by the law enforcement officers!"

The head of student affairs, flanked by security guards, had already blocked Su Ming from the front and back to prevent him from escaping.

Meanwhile, Chen Ling stood nearby, arrogant and insufferably proud, crossing her arms as she declared, "I refuse any mediation! Unless he apologizes to me—kneels down and apologizes—otherwise, absolutely no way!"

"You've come just in time! I paid the tuition this morning and I'm paying the rest this afternoon!"

"Why did you drive my sister out of the classroom and treat her differently?!"

"She is already in a wheelchair and psychologically vulnerable, yet you treat her like this! Who is going to give me an explanation?!"

Su Ming's gaze turned icy as he reached out, grabbing the head of student affairs by the collar and jerking him straight toward his face!

The head of student affairs was left dumbfounded by the violent pressure exuding from Su Ming.

Cold sweat poured down his face.

Faced with the interrogation, all his previous bravado vanished, leaving only pleas for mercy.

"Mr. Su Ming, can you let go first, please?"

As the head of student affairs begged, Su Ming finally released his grip. To everyone's surprise, the official took a few steps back and his face turned ice-cold.

"Grab him and take him to the police station!"

As the order fell, a group of security guards charged forward!

Su Ming readied himself to fight.

Suddenly!

An icy voice rang out, causing all the security guards to freeze in their tracks. Su Ming as well felt the surging energy within him gradually dissipate.

"Blocking the corridor with so many people, what kind of spectacle is this?!"

"All class instructors, take your students back inside and resume your lectures!"

At that moment.

An elderly man with graying hair walked over, accompanied by a young woman.

Upon seeing him, the instructors hurriedly called their students back into the classrooms, and the corridor quickly quieted down.

Only Su Ming and the others remained.
