Then several student representatives stood by, waving flags and shouting, "Welcome, welcome! A warm welcome!"

The scene resembled the loyal people of Paris welcoming the exiled Napoleon; the unpleasant looks Andrew had imagined from the students were nowhere to be seen.

"The vice principal's delaying tactic is quite interesting." Gu Ran looked at the helpless Andrew from a distance and laughed. "There is a Chinese saying, 'You can't hit a smiling face.' Andrew can't refuse such a situation."

Susie and Lee Eun-sook were by Gu Ran's side.

Susie asked with some concern, "Are we just going to do nothing?"

Gu Ran said, "In fact, it's pointless for us to do anything. This is a power struggle between the principal and the board of directors. All we can do is stand on the principal's side."

"Why should we side with the principal?" Lee Eun-sook asked innocently.

"Because the principal is on our president's side, you silly girl!" Gu Ran tapped Li Enshu's head lightly with a chop to the neck. The mischievous long-legged girl covered her head and pretended to cry out in pain.

Gu Ran glanced at Percy, who was not far away. He had blond hair and looked somewhat like Caesar.

"I'm going back to cultivate. Call me if you need anything," Gu Ran said to Su Qian before leaving with Li Enshu.

the following few days.

Andrew was completely outmaneuvered by the vice principal, whose schedule was packed every day. Moreover, the vice principal, an old drunkard, kept pliing him with strong liquor like Erguotou.

As for Angers, the person being investigated, he claimed to be ill and refused to see anyone.

Mixed-race people are supposed to be immune to cancer, so why would they get pharyngitis? Everyone knows that's a lie.

Besides drinking, the Night Watch also arranged for Andrew to observe the school girls' 10,000-meter swimming physical fitness test.

Gu Ran also participated in this event; the senior students' bikinis were really beautiful!

But what Andrew couldn't accept was that Chu Zihang was actually going to be awarded an annual "Three Good Student" certificate...

Andrew was helpless in the face of all this, because the vice principal said as soon as they met, "I'm on your side. I've disliked Angers for a long time!"

Then, when urging someone to drink, the Night's Watchman would say, "Come on, drink up! If you don't, you're disrespecting me!"

Andrew had witnessed this kind of thuggish persuasion to drink at banquets in China before, but he couldn't refuse the Night's Watchman's request, given his seniority.

Moreover, these gatherings were attended by tenured professors, who had voting rights in the investigation and were key targets for Andrew to win over.

So Andrew was put on hold for four days. On the fourth day, he could no longer bear it and finally formally filed charges against Angers.

“Judging from this accusation report, you really have a long history of misconduct…” The Night Watchman smiled at Principal Angers while holding the report. “The accusation says that you take better care of young and pretty girls. Tsk tsk tsk, your life is really not clean at all.”

“I did not act improperly!” Angers retorted.

Two longtime partners, after a routine quarrel, brought up the problems they were currently facing.

Actually, the core of the problem is Chu Zihang, and Chu Zihang has two problems: first, he is very violent when carrying out missions; second, there is the issue of his bloodline.

The first problem is easy to solve; just hand it over to Fingel, the paparazzi in the news department, to clear his name.

Fingel is already a junior in college and hasn't graduated yet. Moreover, he has been demoted to the 'G' level, which is even rarer than the S level in some ways.

In order to graduate, Fingel accepted the task without hesitation, thanks to the principal's promise.

Next, his first task was to delete and modify Chu Zihang's negative records in Norma's database, and then he would work on clearing his name.

If the whitewash is thorough enough, it can win the votes for tenured professors. These professors mostly conduct research in the cold and have little contact with people and things, so as long as the whitewash is logical, they will not vote for Andrew.

“Actually, Chu Zihang’s initial mission had many problems, but since Gu Ran joined him and started working together, there have been basically no more issues with things getting out of control,” Fingel said. “Therefore, as long as we deal with the previous few unfavorable news reports, it’s not troublesome at all.”

“But the problem is Chu Zihang’s blood sample,” the Night Watchman added.

“I have a solution,” Angers thought to himself.

Angers' idea was simple: to give Chu Zihang a complete blood transfusion.

This old headmaster was in charge of a group of lunatics in a school for lunatics, and he himself was a lunatic.

During the blood transfusion, he actually extracted all of Chu Zihang's blood and replaced it with fresh blood.

It was precisely because of this that Angers truly observed that Chu Zihang's blood had transcended the human realm, just like aqua regia, capable of corroding all organic matter.

On the other side, after receiving Chu Zihang's mission to clear his name, Fingel immediately went to meet with the Lionheart Society.

The reason is simple: he wanted to get 'sponsorship money' from the Lionheart Society.

Fingel had a brilliant plan: he bribed the principal to get his graduation certificate and the Lionheart Society to provide him with financial assistance.

The Lionheart Society is determined to protect Chu Zihang, because over the years, it has been Chu Zihang who has been fighting against Caesar; he is the face of the Lionheart Society.

However, Fingel's funding negotiations were not going smoothly at all, because he encountered Gu Ran.

Gu Ran held no position in the Lionheart Society, but Lancelot still called him up and had him confront Fingel.

Gu Ran sat to the side and immediately quoted a price without saying a word: "One thousand US dollars. Consider it a service fee. Take it or leave it. The Lionheart Society's money doesn't grow on trees."

"A thousand US dollars? Are you trying to fob me off with money?"

"Weren't you begging at the train station last year?"

“…Junior brother, you’ve exposed your senior brother’s shortcomings again. But a thousand dollars is impossible. This is a matter of life and death for Chu Zihang. Only professional paparazzi like us can clear his name…”

Chapter 281 The Encounter with Percy

Gu Ran's offer of one thousand dollars was too low, and Fingel naturally refused. "At least one million dollars! You just won the Freedom Day competition not long ago and received a one million dollar prize!"

Gu Ran looked at this ruthless senior brother and laughed, "The principal is also a member of the Lionheart Society. He told me about your secret meeting in the clock tower..."

This was actually meant to bluff Fingel, but due to a lack of information, the G-level senior was unaware of it.

Fingel was a little embarrassed that his secret had been exposed, but he still kept clamoring to bargain.

But Gu Ran's final offer was $100,000.

“One hundred thousand US dollars is a lot. It’s enough to pay off your credit card debt and the money you owe your classmates. The rest of the money is enough for you to live a carefree life for a while after graduation,” Gu Ran said to Fingel. “Of course, you can also choose not to complete the principal’s task and continue to be a senior next year.”

Gu Ran didn't push Fingel too hard, since he still needed Fingel to deal with EVA and keep her in the database so that the Gattuso family couldn't copy the data using the white card.

White has the highest level of access to Norma and can access everything about Norma.

"Ten thousand US dollars it is!" Fingel was taken in by Gu Ran and agreed to the money for the money laundering sponsorship. Lionheart would pay half of the money first, and the rest would be paid after the money was laundered.

Then, Fingel summoned his paparazzi to go to the news department to clear Chu Zihang's name.

"The hearing starts in three days. Do you think the chairman will be convicted?" Lancelot asked Gu Ran.

"Don't worry, he'll be fine," Gu Ran said.

Lancelot frowned: "I'm just worried about the witnesses; Caesar might give incriminating testimony."

Chu Zihang is now the leader of the Lionheart Society. If he is convicted, it will bring shame to the Lionheart Society.

“Caesar is proud and would not defeat Chu Zihang in this way. He would even speak up for him. Besides…” Gu Ran looked around. Susie was not there.

"Besides what?"

"It's nothing. Anyway, there won't be any problems this time, so you don't need to worry." Gu Ran then got up and walked out.

Lancelot then noticed that Gu Ran was not wearing a school uniform, but a black combat suit, with a knife hidden at his waist.

Such attire is quite normal at Kassel College; after all, if the principal carries a folding knife, it's only natural for students to carry weapons.

*……*……*

In the central control room, Percy, holding the board's white card, prepared to access Norma's database.

A few hours earlier, Frost Gattuso was unable to visit Norma in Europe because the undersea communication cable had been severed by people from the Kassel College.

Of course, the school claimed that it was bitten off by a sperm whale, but everyone knows the real story.

Frost knew that Angers intended to delete Norma's data, and he anticipated this, so he had Percy bring White Card over from the beginning to copy the data.

While Percy was copying data downstairs, the paparazzi in the news department were modifying Chu Zihang's data and whitewashing his past.

As Percy copied the data, he kept track of how far the paparazzi had progressed. But when the data was 99% copied, the EVA personality suddenly popped up on his computer screen.

"Sorry, your access has been terminated!" The exquisitely designed anime girl smiled and stopped Percy from continuing to copy the data. The progress bar on the computer instantly began to roll back.

Percy was immediately alarmed. Copying takes a long time, but rolling back and deleting only takes a second!

He didn't even have time to unplug the phone and shut it down.

Percy immediately realized that the school knew far more than the board of directors did, and it was now impossible to gather evidence of Chu Zihang's past through Norma.

Therefore, the only option is to have blood drawn.

He suspected that there must be something wrong with Chu Zihang's blood!

Percy quickly put away the white card and rushed out of the room.

At Chu Zihang's bedside.

Because it was already midnight, Chu Zihang had already started to rest, but the appearance of a figure still startled him.

“Excuse me for disturbing your rest, may I turn on the light?” the man said. “My name is Percy, and I’m the secretary of the investigation team. We need a blood sample from you to help with our research.”

Percy took out a syringe, drew a little blood from Chu Zihang, and then smiled as he prepared to say goodbye.

Chu Zihang couldn't utter a single word.

“I’m telling you, illegally obtained evidence won’t be recognized by the court.” A figure appeared in front of Percy, blocking his way.

“A hearing isn’t a court of law; there’s no need to concern ourselves with the plausibility of evidence.” Percy calmly looked at the figure in the doorway. “Your name is… Gu Ran? Could you please move aside?”

"No, I don't have the habit of giving way to thieves." Gu Ran assumed a fighting stance.

“How can I be considered a thief?” Percy calmly retorted.

“There is a saying in China: taking something without asking is stealing,” Gu Ran said calmly. “This blood is not yours. You took it without permission, so of course it is theft. If this does not count as stealing, then starting tomorrow, I will take a syringe and go to Caesar’s place every day to draw a vial of blood.”

Percy frowned slightly, brushed his hair aside, and revealed a pair of eyes that had been hidden in his hair.

A pair of golden eyes.

Gu Ran gave a mocking smile, then rolled his eyes and glared at Percy with an intimidating look.

Instantly, Percy felt an invisible pressure bearing down on him, making him feel dizzy.

However, his bloodline was not weak, and after a moment his will hardened, and he blocked Gu Ran's oppressive aura.

He was a calm and composed person, and from that brief eye contact, he could tell that Gu Ran was quite strong.

He didn't want to get entangled with Gu Ran, so he turned around and planned to escape through the window.
