#409 - Chapter 408: Poor Students (Two in One)
Although Han Xiaoxiao's strength wasn't anything special, her efficiency was quite good. Under her leadership, the news quickly spread throughout the academy.
"A disciplinary rectification meeting at the South Playground at 7 PM? What's wrong with the Disciplinary Law Department?"
"This message was issued in the name of Director Wenren. It must be something big, otherwise it wouldn't be aimed at all students, don't you think?"
"What's wrong? Are you planning to go to this disciplinary rectification meeting?"
"I'm quite interested in going, not so much to hear what the disciplinary rectification meeting is about, but mainly because I'm curious about Li Chenqiu. Since it's a meeting convened by the Disciplinary Law Department, he'll be there, right!"
"Now that you mention it, I suddenly want to go and see this son of a powerful and wealthy consortium!"
......
South Playground, 6:30 PM.
Before the 7 PM appointed by Li Chenqiu, quite a few people had already gathered sparsely on the platform, talking and laughing, or arguing and making noise.
"Disciplinary rectification meeting? What exactly does Li Chenqiu want to do?"
Not far from the South Playground, inside a tall building, Duan Xian and two other Disciplinary Law Chiefs stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the 23rd floor, overlooking the entire South Playground from above.
Faced with Zhao Ying's question, the two didn't speak, because they didn't know what Li Chenqiu was going to do either, only faintly sensing a bad premonition.
Duan Xian raised his hand and pinched his brow, saying somewhat wearily: "Convening a disciplinary rectification meeting in the name of Director Wenren, this guy must have bad intentions!"
Hearing this, Yu Changle, the Disciplinary Law Chief of the Second District, frowned slightly.
When Zhao Ying proposed a jointly managed district, he was actually quite resistant in his heart. Offending a Disciplinary Law Chief for no reason, it didn't seem like a good thing no matter how you looked at it.
But he had no way to refuse. On one side was Li Chenqiu, and on the other side were Duan Xian and Zhao Ying. If he had to choose one side, it was obviously wiser to choose the latter.
"Disciplinary Law Chief Duan doesn't need to worry. There are only so many people in the First District now. What kind of storm can he stir up? I guess this kid wants to make a big deal out of it and use public opinion to put pressure on us. I have a countermeasure for this!"
Zhao Ying narrowed his eyes slightly, speaking to Duan Xian in an almost flattering manner.
"I hope so!" Duan Xian showed a forced smile.
......
Time passed by, advancing towards 7 o'clock.
The number of students in front of the platform also increased, and looking around, it was a dark mass, with a scale of over a thousand people!
In addition to the students, many teachers and leaders also came to watch this so-called disciplinary rectification meeting, staying in high-rise buildings where they could see the South Playground, just like Duan Xian and the others, such as Li Ji and Li Bai.
"You told me before that you would never leave City 11 in your life. I didn't expect that a few months later, you not only came out, but also settled in Zhaixing Academy. Your brother will never believe your nonsense again!"
Li Bai held a teacup, shaking his head and chuckling helplessly.
Li Ji, who was sitting next to him, said unhappily: "Don't you know why I came to Zhaixing?"
Li Bai put down the teacup in his hand, curiously leaning his head over, asking curiously: "Is that little baby so important to you? You only stayed in that fried rice restaurant together for two years, is it worth it?"
Li Ji slightly tilted his head, the wrinkles on his face unfolding at this moment, his curved eyebrows seemed to be smiling: "You don't understand, this is my home, I haven't had a home for a long time."
A faint trace of loneliness flashed across Li Bai's brows. After a moment of silence, he said: "I always feel that this child is very strange. You'd better not completely let down your guard against him."
Li Ji turned his head: "What do you mean by that?"
"The literal meaning. If you think my words have offended your family, I apologize to you here."
Li Ji took a deep look at the other party, and said seriously: "Although I haven't spent a long time with this child, I know his nature. He's very good in other aspects except for being a bit greedy for money."
Li Bai smiled faintly, nodding in agreement: "Indeed."
Li Ji's tone was somewhat dissatisfied: "Is 'indeed' all you have to say?"
Li Bai rolled up his sleeves speechlessly, revealing his bare wrist: "I've given him the Chaotic Force Ring, isn't that enough? I wasn't willing to give it to my own grandson."
Li Ji turned his gaze back, and said coldly: "My third child has a stubborn personality. If he gets into trouble at the academy and offends someone, help him out a bit. After all, with your status here, everyone will give you face."
"Okay, okay, I'll help him out, are you satisfied now?"
"Barely."
"Hey, you kid..."
"Don't bother me, it's seven o'clock, I want to watch my little Qiu."
......
Pa!
Right at seven o'clock, the lights on the platform turned on, and the six characters "Disciplinary Rectification Meeting" fluttered on the long red banner.
Suddenly, the sound on the South Playground weakened a lot, and everyone's attention focused on the platform.
"Everyone, sorry for the wait."
Li Chenqiu's voice echoed in everyone's ears through the broadcast system.
Click——
Holding the microphone, Li Chenqiu walked out of the broadcast room under everyone's gaze, walked to the center of the platform and stood still, looking around and saying with a smile:
"Hello everyone, I am Li Chenqiu, the Disciplinary Law Chief of the First District."
As he spoke, he bent his upper body slightly, nodding to the left, middle, and right directions respectively.
Below the stage, everyone curiously sized up Li Chenqiu, talking to each other.
"Why is this guy so much more handsome than on TV?"
"TV will lengthen people's faces and change their facial features, you don't know that!"
"With such good looks and strength, I feel that he is very likely to be a son-in-law of the Zhou family!"
"Keep your voice down, he's still standing there!" Someone reminded.
Bang bang bang!
Standing on the stage, Li Chenqiu patted the microphone with his hand, suppressing the surrounding noise, and said with displeasure: "Respect is mutual. I respect everyone, and I hope everyone can respect me as well, okay?"
After all, he was a Disciplinary Law Chief. Although most students didn't approve of him in their hearts, they still had to give him the respect he deserved, and the noise on the field instantly decreased a lot.
"Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend the Disciplinary Law Department's disciplinary rectification meeting!"
Holding the microphone, Li Chenqiu smiled and took a step back, pointing to the word "Discipline" on the big red banner, and asked everyone:
"The focus of this meeting is the word 'Discipline'. Does anyone have any unique insights into this word?"
He raised his arm, looking around.
"Discipline?"
The students on the playground looked at each other, and no one raised their arms. This word was too unfamiliar to them, so unfamiliar that they had almost forgotten it.
Li Chenqiu asked again with a puzzled expression: "Am I not expressing myself clearly enough?"
"Discipline is discipline, what else can it be?" Someone shouted from the crowd.
"When I was in kindergarten, the teacher asked us to sit upright with our hands behind our backs. Isn't that discipline? What's there to say!"
"Disciplinary Law Chief Li, are you trying to teach us these things?"
"Just say what you have to say, what's the use of saying these useless official words?"
Once someone started, others followed, and in less than a moment, the entire South Playground was buzzing like countless bees had swarmed in.
Some men and women dressed in gaudy clothes shouted at the stage, seeming to think that defying their superiors was a very remarkable and worthy thing to show off.
"Everyone, be quiet." Li Chenqiu said calmly, holding the microphone.
No one below the stage paid attention, and some students standing on the periphery dispersed to the surroundings, walking towards the exit of the South Playground while talking and laughing.
"It's really boring. I thought this disciplinary rectification meeting could come up with something new!"
"It's not a loss. You're also someone who has shouted at the Disciplinary Law Chief now. It'll be more respectable to talk about it in the future."
"You reminded me. I have to post a WeChat moment. Did you record the video of me shouting at Li Chenqiu? Send it to me quickly!"
"Don't worry, I'll send it to you after I finish editing my WeChat moment!" The bare-chested young man with red hair focused on sliding his phone screen.
At the same time, on the 23rd floor where Duan Xian and the others were located.
"Hahaha, I really overestimated this kid. He can't even stabilize the people, and he's still holding a disciplinary rectification meeting. This is a complete loss of face. Let's see how he can gain a foothold in the Disciplinary Law Department in the future!"
Zhao Ying pointed in the direction of the platform, mocking undisguisedly.
Yu Changle said lightly: "It seems that he doesn't know much about the school spirit of Zhaixing Academy. In this kind of occasion, he should at least bring dozens of Disciplinary Law members to maintain order."
The corners of Duan Xian's mouth curved slightly: "I overestimated this kid."
Zhao Ying came over, looking curiously at Duan Xian: "Disciplinary Law Chief Duan, I've always been curious, how did Li Chenqiu offend you?"
Duan Xian glanced coldly at the other party: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."
"Uh... okay." Zhao Ying responded awkwardly.
On the platform, Li Chenqiu shouted several times with the microphone, but the students didn't stop making noise or leaving.
Some daring students even walked to the front of the platform, recording this rare scene with their mobile phones.
"Sigh~~~" Standing on the stage, Li Chenqiu smiled helplessly, his arms hanging down naturally, no longer speaking into the microphone.
"Disciplinary Law Chief!"
Han Xiaoxiao walked out of the broadcast room quickly, stood next to Li Chenqiu, and said anxiously: "Disciplinary Law Chief, I'll..."
"No need." Li Chenqiu raised his hand to interrupt directly, looked at the messy South Playground and smiled: "No one listened after shouting several times. It's really unexpectedly chaotic!"
Han Xiaoxiao pointed to the big red banner behind her: "Then I'll take down the banner?"
"The meeting hasn't finished yet, what banner are you taking down?"
Saying that, Li Chenqiu raised his arm, waving it casually like swatting mosquitoes, and said: "Bring them all back, you can educate them appropriately, but don't hurt their lives."
As soon as the words fell, black smoke as thick as ink窜out from his fingertips, rushing into the sky in an instant, spreading around.
Before the crowd below the stage could react, the black smoke transformed by the Soul Soldiers occupied the entire sky, submerging the bright lights.
The students stopped one after another, looking up in horror.
"Why is it getting dark?!"
"This... what is this?!"
"It seems to be... Li Chenqiu's Soul Soldiers..."
"Is he crazy? What is he trying to do!"
Everyone had a big question mark in their heads, but this time Li Chenqiu didn't keep them in suspense, and quickly told them what he intended to do.
Hua——
All the Soul Soldiers opened their eyes at the same moment, and densely packed scarlet pupils appeared in the black clouds, making people look at them with fear!
Whoo whoo whoo——
In the next second, countless Soul Soldiers tore through the black clouds and swooped down to the ground, like black raindrops... just a little bit bigger than ordinary raindrops.
The red-haired, bare-chested young man who had sent a WeChat moment earlier had just wanted to take a video with his mobile phone when a humanoid Soul Soldier flashed in front of him.
The bare-chested young man's pupils shrank, and just as he was about to say something, the Soul Soldier twisted his hips and kicked a whip leg, directly kicking the phone away, smashing it against the iron fence a hundred meters away with a "bang".
The phone should be dead.
"This!" The bare-chested young man looked in the direction where his phone had died with grief, and suddenly turned his head, shouting angrily: "Bastard, pay me for my..."
Whoosh!
The Soul Soldier's fist blasted out like a bullet, hitting the other party's chest fiercely.
"You!!!"
As soon as the young man had the idea of resisting, the power of the fist was completely poured onto his body, erupting like a mountain torrent in an instant, blasting him away!
At the same time, this scene happened in every corner of the South Playground. One after another, humanoid black shadows drew beautiful arcs in the air, like a meteor shower, neatly smashing in front of the platform.
"Ah! My phone!!!"
"Bro, bro, don't move, I'll walk over myself... puff!"
"Li Chenqiu, what the hell are you doing? Do you know who my dad is? My dad... don't hit my face, don't hit my face, everyone... ah!"
For a time, wails rose all over the field. The students had no resistance in front of the Soul Soldiers. With one Nine-Cursed and several Eight-Cursed controlling the field, the fire in their hearts couldn't even ignite.
The culprit, Li Chenqiu, sat in front of the platform, his calves dangling in the air, supporting his head and admiring this beautiful scenery.
Han Xiaoxiao, who was standing behind him, widened her eyes, covering her mouth with her hand: "This, this, this..."
"What's wrong?" Li Chenqiu asked without turning his head.
Han Xiaoxiao swallowed, and said stutteringly: "Is it... appropriate to do this?"
"It's not appropriate, but there's no way. Who told them not to listen to me? Under these circumstances, I can only be forced to make such a decision. Alas, poor students!" Li Chenqiu shook his head helplessly.
The corners of Han Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched slightly, and she had a more comprehensive understanding of the character of her boss, Li Chenqiu.
In the distance, Duan Xian and the other three, who had witnessed everything, all showed horrified expressions.
"This... is this kid crazy? How dare he, is he turning this into a prison for the chosen ones???" Zhao Ying's Adam's apple rolled slightly.
Those who can enter Zhaixing Academy are either talented or have powerful backgrounds. The proportion of these two is half and half. No matter which side it is, it is not easy to offend.
After all, no one can guarantee whether the former will become a Nine-Cursed or even a Ten-Cursed existence in the future, or whether the elders in the latter's family will be protective. This is one of the reasons why Zhaixing Academy gradually lacks "discipline".
Because the Disciplinary Law members in the Disciplinary Law Department are also people, and people have concerns, and people are afraid, so naturally they don't dare to manage too harshly.
