Unlike Lee Guo Er, who had her emotions on her sleeves, Zhao Qian was his boss, exceptionally experienced, and incredibly cunning. She wouldn’t waste meaningless words, and she hid her murderous intent well.

“CEO Zhao, are you in?” Han Fei knocked on Zhao Qian’s door. As the boss, Zhao Qian had her own office.

“Come in.”

“Our team has completed the new gaming proposal. Please have a look.” Han Fei placed the storyboard on Zhao Qian’s table.

“Shouldn’t your team take over Zhang Qin’s dating sim? Why is the cover so gory? There’s even a saw.”

“They only knew how to sell sex. That is getting old. After some consideration, we decided to restart and redo a new game.” Han Fei walked forward so that he wouldn’t miss Zhao Qian’s micro-expression.

“Dating sims are like that. What new elements can you introduce to it?” Zhao Qian stopped working. She picked up the materials. Slowly, her expression shifted. It felt like your boyfriend was the victim inside the horror movie you were watching. She was happy and excited. Seeing the smile on Zhao Qian’s face, Han Fei averted his eyes. In the game, he represented the male lead, while Zhao Qian represented the other women.

“Very good.” Zhao Qian studied it for fifteen minutes. “If I have to nitpick, I think the boss is not three-dimensional enough. Other than that, she should have a few more endings, like after the male lead drove her home, many other things could have happened.”

“CEO Zhao, do you think the deaths need to be changed? Even though this is an adult game, I don’t think it should be too gory. After all, we’re ultimately a dating sim.” Han Fei said in a whisper.

“You’re right. Some of the deaths are too gory and impossible to replicate in real life.” Zhao Qian wrote down a few more endings on the board. “I have some ideas. How about the male lead is pushed into the pool after he was drunk; he is electrocuted when he is in the shower; or…” Zhao Qian wrote down four new endings. Hearing them made Han Fei’s spine tingle.

“Fu Yi, you are still a good designer. There is nothing like this on the market. I believe no one will come up with something like this either. Work hard and try to get the game out. If the sales are good, the higher-ups might make you the lead of Immortal again.” Zhao Qian praised Han Fei. She urged Han Fei to finish the game as if worried that he’d died before the game could be done.

“Thank you, CEO Zhao. We will continue to work hard.” Han Fei answered officiously.

“Right.” As Han Fei reached for the materials, Zhao Qian suddenly pressed her hand on it. “Games are games, don’t treat it too seriously. I notice you’ve been under a lot of pressure recently. How about we go for a drink at the old place tonight?” The plot was so familiar that Han Fei’s hair was standing. Just as he pondered how to reject her, his phone rang.

“I’m sorry, CEO Zhao, I need to answer this.” Han Fei dragged the materials away and rushed out of the office. ‘That was close. If I go to her home tonight, I wouldn’t be able to leave.’ Han Fei answered the call. “Hello?”

“Can you come to the school? We want to talk to you about Fu Sheng. Earlier, he has injured other students. The other students’ parents want to find a truce.” The voice on the phone sounded polite.

“Teacher Liu?” Han Fei’s heart trembled again. Now was not the time to relax. “Fu Sheng has beaten someone?”

“Both parties were responsible.”

“The kid also beat Fu Sheng? Okay, I’ll be there now.” Han Fei hung up and returned to his office. “I have two things to announce. One, our game has gained the higher-up’s approval. They also think it’ll be a hit!” Brother fake plant and the others cheered. If the sales were good, the bonus was higher than the average salary.

“Two, I need to go out for a moment. Please stay and complete the work.” Han Fei walked to his computer and closed the minimized Plants versus Zombies. He was clocking out. He grabbed his briefcase and then went to check on Shen Luo. The man was still asleep. ‘I’ve bought you food and water. It’s not my fault if you’re caught again.’

Han Fei left the building and called a cab to the school. Honestly, he was pretty interested in Fu Sheng’s school. But the constant need to watch over his back meant that he didn’t have the time to explore. It was still school hours, so there were not that many adults around.

“Teacher Liu, I’m already at the school gate.” Han Fei messaged Teacher Liu.

“Come to the headmaster’s office.” After getting the reply, Han Fei only realized he had no idea where the headmaster’s office was. “The school is quite big. Fu Sheng is only in his first year of high school. Two students fighting shouldn’t garner the headmaster’s attention. It looks like there is a bigger story behind this.” Han Fei was not new to society. He had survived for a long time in the cryptic world and had seen the range of human nature.

Right in front of the gate was the education block. Han Fei planned to walk around it when he saw a girl student sitting on the steps before the building. ‘It’s school hours. Why is she sitting there?’ Han Fei walked to the girl, and the girl turned and disappeared into the education block. ‘That’s the girl Fu Sheng has been accompanying?’ A few years ago, a female student jumped from the roof. Her body landed on the steps. Many people knew about this, but the school had suppressed the news. ‘Teacher Liu also said that Fu Sheng would carry an umbrella for a plant. I wonder where that small plant is. If they refuse to admit there is a problem with that plant, I’ll come at night to see if I can dig up things like a dead body.’ Han Fei was a father for the first thing. He believed this was the best way to prove Fu Sheng’s innocence.

Han Fei walked around and finally found the office building. Teacher Liu was waiting for him. “This way!”

Teacher Liu was dressed up that day. She wore a light green dress and appeared very lady-like. But she carried a huge bag. With Teacher Liu leading, they came to the top floor and entered the headmaster’s office. There were several people in the room, and they looked at Han Fei with hostility.

“Such tardiness. As expected of an uncultured man.” The man who spoke was a middle-aged man. He wore an expensive suit and pushed out his big belly proudly. Next to him was fatty in school uniform. He was both tall and wide. This student, who was as high as Han Fei, stood obediently beside his father. His arm was bandaged.

Next to the two was a short man who sat on the sofa on the left with a severe face. Behind him stood a student with dyed blond hair. The blond didn’t even button his shirt. He even had the smell of cigarettes on him.

“Fu Sheng’s father, is Fu Sheng doing better?” The voice came from the office table. A kind-looking elder sat behind the table. He waved his hand to signal Teacher Liu to close the door. “Now that all three parents are here, I’ll cut right to the chase.” The headmaster’s eyes swept everyone. “Since the students violated the school rules and fought in class, they deserved to be punished. Fu Sheng injured your children, and he was wrong, but he has been suspended for so long already. I’m sure he has learned his lesson. In my opinion, you two shouldn’t keep on hounding him. They are just kids. How about we just let this be?”

The headmaster told the middle-aged man and the short man. It sounded like Fu Sheng was the only one in the wrong.

“We are generous people, so we’ll let it slide this time. We are not going to stoop to his level.” The middle-aged man said. He seemed to come from a great background. Even the headmaster was polite to him. The blond’s father nodded.

“Fu Sheng’s father, what do you think?” The headmaster turned to Han Fei. Once Han Fei nodded, this would be solved.

“Are you three putting on a show for me?” Han Fei walked to the fat student. “This bandage is not even tied correctly.” He yanked off the bandage, and the fatty’s arms were perfectly fine. Han Fei looked around for a long time before finding a few scratches on the fatty’s arm. “These few scratches, and you used a bandage for that?”

Han Fei dumped the bandage to the ground. Han Fei turned to the headmaster. “Plus, look at these two. One of them is tall and fat. The other is a street fighter. Do you really think Fu Sheng can injure them?”

The smile on the headmaster’s face froze.

“When I arrived, I saw there are cameras outside every class. Let me see what happened that day.” Han Fei stared at the headmaster. “I am not so easily fooled. I, Fu Yi, will do anything for my son.” Han Fei’s eyes glowed dangerously.

Hearing that, Teacher Liu took out her phone and placed it on the table. She clicked open the video. “This is recorded by the students that day, and they uploaded it to the internet.” She pointed at the blond. “They thought this was fun.”

The video rolled. It was raining. Han Fei entered the classroom with a dripping umbrella and washed lunch box. The students pointed at Fu Sheng, talking bad things about him. Fu Sheng was used to this. He didn’t react to the gossip. He walked to his seat when the blond tripped him with his leg. The umbrella fell, and the lunch box rolled away. Fu Sheng didn’t say anything. He climbed up to reach for the lunch box. The fatty joked with the girl beside him and then stepped on the lid of the box. Fu Sheng stood before the fatty and told the fatty to let go. Hearing that, the fatty looked at Fu Sheng smugly and kicked the lid to the side. The few boys played kickball with the lid. Fu Sheng stood right there with his fists clenched. The fatty taunted him relentlessly, and finally, he punched the fatty’s face. Then the other kids jumped on Fu Sheng.

They pressed Fu Sheng to the ground. Fu Sheng knew he couldn’t win so many people, so he focused on the fatty. But he was too weak. He was kicked, and his table was toppled over. When the video ended, Han Fei’s face was dark. He had no idea how Fu Yi dealt with this. Perhaps he was too busy with women to care.

The headmaster glared at Teacher Liu and then laughed awkwardly. “You saw it yourself. It was Fu Sheng who made the first move. Both parties are wrong. When bullied, the right way is to find the staff and not resort to violence.”

“That’s right. See, Fu Sheng scratched my child’s arms.” The middle-aged man wanted to say something more when Han Fei slowly turned his head around.

“So you think that is worse than my son’s injury?”

“Your son has surface wounds, but my son is bleeding. When he came home that day, his arms were bleeding so badly.” The middle-aged man protected his son. Han Fei knew words were not going to solve anything. He walked to the middle-aged man and sighed. “The saddest thing is that the events that happened here have happened in real life.”

“What do you doing?” The middle-aged man wanted to retreat, but Han Fei grabbed his neck. A giant force slammed him on the headmaster’s table. “Didn’t you say this is just surface wound?” Han Fei picked up the middle-aged man and slammed him on the table again. The headmaster was baffled.

Han Fei squeezed the man’s neck. Han Fei looked at his expression twisted from pain. “Come, use your fingernails to scratch my arms. We’ll see who gives up first.”

“Fu Sheng’s father, ca-calm down! This is not going to solve any problem!” The headmaster stood up. “You’re using violence to solve violence. Both parties are responsible!”

“Both parties are responsible? Did you not see the group of students beating my son? Did you not see the blond trip my son? Did you not see this fatty step on the lunch box I bought for my son?” Han Fei slammed the table. “Stop playing Tai Chi with me. At most, my son will transfer school, but I guarantee you this is not over!” Han Fei grabbed the man’s neck. “You said this is just a surface wound, so why are your eyes rolling back?!”

The fatty was too scared to say anything when he saw his father being beaten up. It was the headmaster who stopped this. “Fu Yi! This is not the way to solve the problem. We should talk about this. After all, no one is really injured.”

“Because there is no physical scar?” Han Fei loosened one arm and pressed the headmaster beside the middle-aged man. “Since there is no injury, then why did you summon me? If it’s a little pain, they can just rest at home.”

Han Fei only let go when the middle-aged man was about to faint. He dropped the middle-aged man and the headmaster to the ground. He turned to the fatty. “How you bullied Fu Sheng is how I bullied your father. Then he will understand, protecting you is merely harming you.” Picking up the phone, Han Fei sent the video on Teacher Liu’s phone to his own phone. Then he walked to the blond. The short man was scared, but he still shielded his son.

“Brother, I’ll go home and teach him myself! This is my fault!” The short man pleaded. The blond was really scared. The small ruffian had met the legendary murderer. His legs were weak.

“None of the students inside this video is going to escape.” Han Fei didn’t care if the students really felt regret or not. He only hoped that Fu Sheng could walk out of his room to face the world again. This time, no one would harm him because Han Fei would protect him.

Han Fei walked out of the headmaster’s office and watched the setting sun. He called his wife. “I might be late tonight.”

“Okay, do you need me to save dinner for you? When will you come back?” The wife’s voice changed.

“I’m at Fu Sheng’s school. We’re discussing how to get Fu Sheng to come back to school.” Han Fei turned back to look at the office and walked away.

“Then what is the discussion result?”

“Prepare for a school transfer.”

“Huh?”

“I just beat up their headmaster.”
