"Damn it! Which idiot put something in my water cup..."
Lin Yu was so furious that he threw his water cup out. The key was that he had just taken a big gulp... that's when he noticed the strange taste.
Oh man, this is infuriating!
The worst part was that he couldn't find out who the culprit was, which was absolutely maddening!
"Damn it, everything has been going wrong lately. Ye Mengyao, are you really that cheap? I thought you were a girl who valued her chastity, but I didn't expect you'd throw yourself at men."
Lin Yu was unconvinced. He just couldn't understand what he was lacking compared to Jiang Che.
Was it just because Jiang Che had a bit more money? Was he a little bit better looking? What else did he have!
Lin Yu became angrier the more he thought about it. Ye Mengyao and Yu Wan'er, they were the girls he had his eyes on, so why were they throwing themselves at other men?
......
Meanwhile, Liu Tie and Wang Zheng were also busy with their own plans.
"Monkey, how did Lin Yu manage to get close to the Su family? Su Shan is the director of education, and Lin Yu is just an ordinary poor schmuck."
"I guess Lin Yu must really have some skill in traditional Chinese medicine. Don't you remember what Jiang Che said before? Lin Yu would go around saving people to build connections. This guy must have done something good for the Su family, so Su Shan helped him out."
The fat guy nodded. "Su Shan's background isn't clean either. I heard from people in the circle that his cousin's son bullied a female student in the same class, and it was Su Shan who stepped in to cover it up. We can dig into that."
"Ouch... are we playing this big?"
“What are you afraid of? The internet is so developed nowadays. We just need to hire some private investigators to gather evidence. First, we'll report him to the newspapers for abusing his power, then spend some money to buy hot search. Once the heat is up, we'll expose him completely! I don't believe we can't take him down...”
"Fatty, you're pretty clever, huh? Your brain is on a higher level now?"
Fatty chuckled and scratched the back of his head. "I'm already dizzy from thinking so much."
Liu Tie was speechless. He had only fantasized about peeing in Lin Yu's water cup, but Wang Zheng's plan was even more outrageous... I bow to your admiration.
......
Soon, articles began popping up online, accusing the director of education in Hangcheng of abusing his power by forcibly arranging a school placement for someone who didn't have a student record.
They also spent a lot of money to hire internet trolls to stir up the situation.
The evidence was laid out clearly.
It was about Lin Yu!
Lin Yu had already been expelled, but then he was sent back to school. A deeper investigation revealed that it had something to do with the director of education, Su Shan.
This immediately caused an uproar.
"Wow, the director of education abusing his power? Forcing a student with no record into a prestigious school?"
"I can vouch for this. I'm a student at Shilan School, and Lin Yu was forcibly inserted into our class. He's actually just a street punk outside of school."
"Brothers, let's push this up. We need more people to see this!"
"Hehe, sitting back and waiting for the drama!"
It was the favorite pastime of netizens: watching the downfall of some big celebrity, an internet celebrity crashing during a live stream, or a high-ranking official falling from grace...
...
"What's going on? Who's spreading rumors about me?"
Inside the Hangcheng Education Bureau, Su Shan was in a state of shock.
But after reading the news, he frowned deeply.
"Lin Yu? Isn't that the young man who saved my father?"
A few days ago, his father had a sudden heart attack, and it was Lin Yu who stepped in just in time to save him. Afterwards, Lin Yu also provided follow-up treatment for his father, and his medical skills were nothing short of miraculous.
Su Zhentian had developed a desire to nurture talent, and Lin Yu's request was simple: to become a student at Shilan School.
For Su Shan, the director of education, this was as easy as pie.
Although he didn't want to help an unknown person, Lin Yu had saved his father, and it was his father who had insisted on it, so he used his connections to get Lin Yu into Shilan School.
And now... the matter had already been reported?
Su Shan's brow furrowed, sensing that things were not simple.
Anyone who could climb to the position of director of education wasn't simple.
"Someone is trying to frame me? Could it be that Lin Yu's appearance wasn't an accident? Was it all part of a plan, including saving my father? Could it be my political rivals trying to expose my weaknesses?"
He thought of many possibilities, but none of them made complete sense.
"Director Su, the online buzz about you is quite high, and it might not be suppressed in a short time. Do you think you should make a statement to clarify?"
Su Shan sighed.
He knew the seriousness of the situation. With the internet being so developed, trying to avoid it was impossible, especially since the other side had solid evidence.
He had indeed given Lin Yu a shortcut, but so what?
Soon, Su Shan recorded a clarification video for himself, with accompanying text.
[I admit that I did arrange for Lin Yu to be admitted to Shilan School. But he also saved my father's life. If it weren't for Lin Yu... my old father might have already passed away. And when I heard that Lin Yu, who should be in school, had no place to study, I felt compassion...]
After this speech, the online sentiment did indeed shift a bit!
"My goodness, so that's the case. That makes sense."
"If someone saved my father's life, I would definitely repay them too. I think Director Su did nothing wrong."
"Hey, is the issue here? The problem is that Director Su abused his power, right? He could have found other ways to help Lin Yu. Why did he have to do it under his personal name?"
"Anyway, I don't believe it. I'm still waiting for the next twist."
In his office, Su Shan sipped some tea calmly, as if he wasn't worried at all. Trying to take him down with such a crude method?
Too laughable!
Moreover, everything he said was true. Lin Yu had indeed saved his father.
At least in this matter, he hadn't lied about a single word.
......
"Wow, this Su Shan is indeed a tough nut to crack."
"Monkey, let's ramp up the pressure!"
"Alright, I just happen to have some dirt on this guy. The incident where he covered up his nephew's crimes... he really thinks he can hide it forever?"
"Hehehe—"
Soon, another earth-shattering news exploded online.
The director of education in Hangcheng, Su Shan, had been covering up for his own nephew!
And the crimes his nephew had committed were also dug up: he had bullied other students and even sexually assaulted a female classmate...
This news was like a deep-water bomb.

We're all struggling to survive out here. I'm trying so hard, so how are they still alive?"
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
