Chapter 573: Done For!

Hao Ren didn’t expect to see Hao Zhonghua here, so he turned stiff.

Hao Zhonghua was also surprised to see Hao Ren in the crowd. After a quick pause, he and Lu Qing walked in.

Lu Qing looked stern and walked over slowly.

There were many students, but they created a small path for Lu Qing so that he could walk over.

The people who knew things about East Ocean University were all familiar with Lu Qing. This grey-haired old man was East Ocean University’s Managing Vice Principal. Since the Principal had to go to different events often, Lu Qing was in charge of making the crucial decisions at the school, so he had the most power at East Ocean University.

Hao Zhonghua looked stern. He didn’t say anything and stood two-steps behind Lu Qing.

He came to East Ocean University this time to discuss a project to train young people. Because of his tight schedule, he didn’t want to waste time and money, so he decided to stick to the school’s cafeteria where meals were simple and quick. Therefore, the school’s management could only come and eat at the cafeteria with him.

Just when they were chatting and having a good time on the second floor, they heard loud noises downstairs.

Lu Qing came downstairs to see what was going on, so Hao Zhonghua came along with him.

“What’s going on here?” Lu Qing walked toward the center of the crowd, and he looked around and asked coldly.

The students looked at each other, and not a single person dared to answer. No one thought that Vice Principal Lu would be eating upstairs.

Zhao Jiayi was on his hands and tried to stand back up on his feet. He wiped away the blood that was dripping from his nose, but he remained silent.

Hao Ren saw Hao Zhonghua looking at him, so he quickly let go of the captain of the soccer team’s wrist and tried to act calm. However, he was very anxious inside.

The person who was more anxious than Hao Ren was the Program Director of the Mechatronic Engineering Program. The Mechatronic Engineering Program was built from the support of Hao Zhonghua.

As the Program Director of the program that Hao Ren was enrolled in, he also went along with Hao Zhonghua this time.

However, he did not expect that Hao Ren would be fighting with other students in the cafeteria when Hao Zhonghua came to East Ocean University to discuss the project.

Just a few minutes ago, he was praising Hao Ren for getting along with classmates and having great manners and grades!

Now, he was looking at Hao Zhonghua’s gloomy face quietly, thinking to himself, “Damn… Damn…”

“Academician Hao, what do you think we should do about this situation?” Lu Qing slightly turned his head to ask Hao Zhonghua who was standing behind him.

“Hehe, this is your school’s problem. Do what you have to do. I won’t give my opinion.” Hao Zhonghua slightly chuckled, but his voice sounded very gloomy.

When Hao Ren saw Hao Zhonghua, he knew that he would be heavily punished this weekend.

Xie Yujia looked at Hao Ren worriedly. She wanted to help explain the situation to Hao Zhonghua, but Hao Zhonghua didn’t state his stance, so she couldn’t help Hao Ren beg for mercy.

“Who is this guy…”

Some students couldn’t help but ask the people around them who this mid-age man was when they saw Lu Qing asking him for his opinion.

“You don’t even know who he is? He’s China’s chief scientist, Hao Zhonghua! His status is even higher than the Principal! Not just one level, but higher in many ranks!”

“Hao Ren is out of luck. He got into this kind of trouble; even the Vice Principal can’t help him!”

“That’s for sure. Who do you think Hao Zhonghua is? The Principal lost face this time, so Hao Ren’s going to be in deep trouble!”

All sorts of chatter spread in the cafeteria.

This captain of the soccer team didn’t know who Hao Zhonghua was. He thought Hao Ren was finally scared of him, so he glared at Hao Ren viciously.

Now that he had regained his energy, he realized how strong Hao Ren’s arms were.

However, he thought he didn’t need to worry about Hao Ren anymore. He believed that even if he were to be punished, it would only be a light punishment since the school needed a soccer team to compete with other schools, and he was the captain of the soccer team.

“However, this kid would for sure be punished hard! My team members are still on the floor and haven’t got up yet,” he thought.

The reason why he thought Hao Ren was in trouble was that Hao Ren held him by the wrist and punched him when Lu Qing showed up.

“Vice Principal, he hit us first! He said that our grades are bad, and he even poured soup onto our shirts,” the captain of the soccer team explained quickly.

“Is that so?” Lu Qing looked around, and his expression and tone were still cold.

The captain of the soccer team looked around viciously; he didn’t think that anyone dared to speak up at this moment! The soccer team wasn’t something ordinary students could reckon with!

“It’s not like that. They hit Brother Hao!”

“Yeah, they hit him first!”

“We saw it too. The soccer team picked the fight and started to hit him.”

Tens of students in the crowd started to speak up.

The captain of the soccer team was dumbfounded; he didn’t expect others to go against the soccer team.

He didn’t know that Hao Ren was the President of the Calligraphy Club, and his members would help Hao Ren out during these times!

“Vice Principal, he started the fight!” The captain of the soccer team was used to street fights, so he started to question the other students and tried to twist the truth.

Those soccer players who had fallen to the ground started to shout even though they were still shaking. “Vice Principal, he hit me! My bones are broken! I need to go to the hospital for an examination!”

They looked like they were in pain, and they weren’t acting; there were a few who had broken bones.

In their minds, they had to represent the school to compete in soccer matches. Even though they hadn’t won any championships, they still put in the effort. Now that Hao Ren had broken their bones, it would have a bad impact on their games. That was why they at least wanted some medical compensation and to have Hao Ren suspended for a few days.

The two sides started to argue.

The school’s management, especially the Mechatronic Engineering Program’s Director, were all standing behind Lu Qing and were baffled.

“This Hao Ren has such great influence at the school!” they thought.

Hao Ren’s dad was Hao Zhonghua, so these instructors and officials respected him for Hao Zhonghua. However, the elite students in the school were trying to help Hao Ren.

Hao Zhonghua slightly frowned and thought, “Hao Ren is good at fighting? Moreover, it seems that he is the little king at school and has his own clan?”

“OK! That’s enough!” Lu Qing raised his hand.

Both sides went silent and stopped their arguments.

“The specific punishments will be released this afternoon. Now…” Lu Qing saw the swollen faces of the players of the soccer team and said, “The soccer team is dissembled! The players on the soccer team who participated in the fight will all receive detention as punishment! If your grades aren’t up to standard within half a year, you will be expelled!”

He stared at them and continued, “I’ll talk with your coach!”

Lu Qing’s decision stunned all the students, and they were so shocked that they couldn’t close their mouths. They didn’t expect Lu Qing to focus the punishment on the soccer team and let Hao Ren go.

Of course, this did not mean that Hao Ren escaped from punishment since the official notice would be posted later, but the players on the soccer team were all doomed.

Without their status as players on the soccer team, they were nobodies! Lu Qing was the Managing Vice Principal, so he was in charge of the school sports teams and clubs. He had the absolute authority to disassemble the soccer team!

“Vice Prin… Principal. He hurt us. What about medical expenses…” When Lu Qing turned around and was about to leave, a few players on the soccer team asked in a hurry.

Lu Qing turned around and said to them coldly, “Well, didn’t you say it was because the cafeteria floor was too slippery? Didn’t you slip and fall?”

The players on the soccer team were all astonished.

“Hiss…” the other students all gasped. From Lu Qing’s attitude, they could tell that he was leaning toward helping Hao Ren!

Since he was East Ocean University’s Managing Vice Principal, no one could go against him. However, it was a delight to see him punishing these scummy soccer players.

Lu Qing then looked at the manager who was in charge of safety and standing on his side, and he said sternly, “Get the cafeteria staff to clean the floors, so the students won’t slip and fall again!”

“Yes, yes…” this manager wiped off the sweat on his forehead and nodded.

The students watched as Lu Qing led the officials upstairs again, and they were too stunned.

Hao Ren had beat the soccer players so hard that their bones broke, but the story turned out to be that they fell and hurt themselves! Lu Qing, the Vice Principal, had such powers!

Then, the students looked at Hao Ren again and thought, “Who is the real overload of the students at East Ocean University? It isn’t Huang Xujie but Hao Ren! He is even dating the Vice Principal’s twin granddaughters! What else is he capable of!?”

“Are you ok?” Hao Ren turned around and looked at Zhao Jiayi. “Do you need me to go to the hospital with you?”

“It’s just a scratch!” Zhao Jiayi clenched his teeth.

The corners of his mouth and eyes were a bit torn, and his nose was still bleeding. Others could see the scratches on his arms and legs from the tables and chairs.

However, the captain of the soccer team who fought with him was injured even worse than him; the latter’s eyes were swollen, his nose was crooked, and his clothes were torn.

Since Hao Zhonghua saw Hao Ren holding onto the captain of the soccer team and hitting him, Hao Zhonghua believed that all the injuries and scars on the captain of the soccer team were Hao Ren’s doing.

“The idiots on the soccer team don’t want to live, right!” Tens of players on the basketball team came charging into the cafeteria. They heard that the soccer team was beating Zhao Jiayi, so they rushed over from the academic buildings.

The players on the soccer team were all injured, and they looked paler when they saw the basketball team appear in the cafeteria.

“OK! It’s ok!” Zhao Jiayi yelled.

School officials were still eating on the second floor, so he didn’t want to cause another commotion.

The players on the basketball team were shocked when they charged into the cafeteria and saw how beaten the players on the soccer team were.

Then, they saw Hao Ren who was beside Zhao Jiayi.

Hao Ren’s clothes were clean and tidy while Zhao Jiayi’s were torn. The players on the basketball team exclaimed happily, “Brother Zhao is so amazing! You singlehandedly beat them all!”

They believed that only Xie Wanjun had such fighting abilities, and they didn’t expect Zhao Jiayi to overpower others in a similar fashion!

Zhao Jiayi sighed helplessly. He looked at how concerned Hao Ren was and suddenly thought, “Ren is so strong and terrifying… But Hao Zhonghua somehow looked a little similar to Hao Ren.”

“Ren, don’t worry. If anything happens, I’ll take the blame!” Zhao Jiayi tapped Hao Ren’s shoulder and said while he patted his chest.

“Hao Zhonghua is a world-renowned scientist, and Hao Ren is an ordinary student at East Ocean University. They probably aren’t related!” Zhao Jiayi thought, “Lu Qing didn’t punish Hao Ren in front of everyone probably because he is concerned about his two granddaughters. However, it looks like Hao Ren had caused such a commotion in front of a very important guest from his perspective, so the school would punish Hao Ren in secrecy!”

Just when Zhao Jiayi finished his thoughts, the Mechatronic Engineering Program’s Director came downstairs and waved at Hao Ren. “Hao Ren, come upstairs. The Vice Principal is calling for you.”
