Chapter 002: Focused Youth

This is outrageous, it is truly going to turn the world upside down! Ever since Yang Yi made that sarcastic remark, Jia Liping has been in a state of furious anger, and as a result, he did not pay any attention to what Yang Yi said afterwards.

However, Principal Jia's admonition reminded me that we must dare to fight against unhealthy trends and evil forces, and we must have the courage to speak the truth and uphold justice. Therefore, I am standing here again!" The mockery on my face grew more pronounced as I casually shot a glance at Jia Liping, then turned to Director Tian Zhengwu, who was seated at the far end of the podium: "Director Tian, I would like to ask, how did you come to see me as someone who stands by and does nothing in the face of danger?"

With the means of seizing the clouds and the achievements of turning back the heavens, a single battle will determine everything, this little fellow...

"Does Principal Jia have something to say that Director Tian does not?" Yang interrupted Jia Liping's words decisively, his youthful voice gradually rising in intensity: "Then why don't you answer on behalf of Director Tian? Were both of you present at the time of the incident? Was it that I did not want to save, or was it that there was no time to save? Can you arbitrarily determine this based on your words? Can you freely slander students? Setting aside your ruffian nephew, I still feel regret for the departed classmate Xiao Lu! Was it that I did not want to save, or was it that there was no time to save? Can you arbitrarily determine this based on your words? Can you freely slander students? Setting aside your ruffian nephew, I still feel regret for the departed classmate Xiao Lu! However, from a moral standpoint, I can absolutely face my own inner judgment with composure, but can you, Director Tian Zhengwu, who falsely accuses innocent students?"

Xue Haiqing, who had originally been feeling guilty for not being able to protect the innocent students, was now overjoyed. He did not expect that the subordinates of this rough-faced tyrant would be so careless in their actions, leaving behind such a significant piece of evidence. He couldn't help but cast a surprised glance at Yang Yi, who was seated at the front of the podium, secretly admiring the boy's keen and meticulous mind.

The students' eyes sparkled even more, though they were less excited about watching a show and more filled with passionate fervor. Children of this age often possess a deeper sense of conscience and loyalty than adults, making them more prone to indignation. At this moment, Yang Yi's actions undoubtedly fired the "first shot of the armed uprising" at No. 3 Middle School!

It is precisely for this reason that Yang Man is far more affected at this moment than an ordinary student—standing confidently at the podium, speaking eloquently and humorously to vindicate herself, is this truly the useless cousin who usually gets flustered and indignant when she retorts with a few sharp remarks?

Meanwhile, the academic affairs director, Tian Zhengwu, also managed to shake off his initial shock and panic. His embarrassment, stemming from his guilty conscience, made him particularly furious as he slammed the table and said: "Yang Yi, let me tell you, the fact that you have been punished by the school is already a done deal. If you admit your mistakes and actively seek to correct them, you still have a chance to apply for the revocation of the punishment. However, if you continue to disrupt the order of the campus like this, I believe, as Principal Jia said, the only option is to expel a bad student like you!"

This world is truly insane

The several school leaders on the podium realized that there might be significant news today. Their originally composed postures shifted as they turned their heads to curiously observe the relaxed Yang Yi, then they furtively glanced at the already flushed and agitated Jia Liping and the academic affairs director Tian Zhengwu. However, in this particularly strange atmosphere, no one took the initiative to interrupt Yang Yi's speech.

This message was learned by Yang Yi many years later from an old school worker who sympathized with him. However, by that time, Jia Liping and the academic director had already stepped down, and the question of whether to reopen the case was no longer significant for Yang Yi at that time, so he merely regarded it as something he had heard. Little did he know that, due to a twist of fate, it would unexpectedly become an opportunity for Yang Yi to clear his name.

The old man with grizzled hair appeared stern in expression, yet his habitual action of lightly tapping the table with his left middle finger, under the influence of a good mood, had already betrayed him.

"Is this person really your cousin?" In one of the countless lines, a petite girl from Class Seven tightly grasped her companion's arm, her delicate long eyelashes fluttering gently, and her large eyes had not blinked for quite some time.

The students in the audience were watching the developments with shining eyes, paying close attention to the confident and unrestrained youth at the front of the podium at this very moment

As he watched the students below erupt into laughter once again, he followed their intense gazes and saw Yang Yi leisurely walking towards the podium. Jia Liping's face, resembling that of a pig's liver, twisted once more, transforming directly into that of a pig's kidney: "You social scum, how dare you come back..."

However, Yang Yilian found himself lacking even the strength to glance at him, and directly picked up the idle microphone, turning towards the playground: "Originally, when Principal Jia was speaking, I could only silently stand by, protesting solemnly in my heart, and expressing my disdain for him with my gaze..."

Not only should one not passively endure, but it is also imperative to retaliate fiercely against such baseless accusations.

As the voice fell, the vast playground was enveloped in an extraordinary silence; however, in the hearts of nearly two thousand teachers and students present, applause erupted like a raging tide.

Before long, Yang Yi arrived at the designated dining establishment of the Third Middle School. He confidently pushed the door open and then approached the lobby manager. With the dual impact of his life experiences and a charming smile, Yang Yi, who falsely claimed to be the nephew of the third-grade head teacher, quickly gained the trust of the lobby manager

For a considerable period of time starting from today, the students seated below the podium will find it difficult to forget the figure who posed this earnest question

However, even more madness lay ahead. As Tian Zhengwu's face turned pale and Jia Liping's expression darkened, the boy on stage spoke with increasing fervor: "Evil deeds go unpunished, good deeds may not receive recognition, and the art of distorting truth and confusing right and wrong is indeed a specialty! The occurrence of such an absurd situation where the academic affairs director falsely accuses a student is a folly of the school administrators! It is the indulgence of the unseen puppeteers..." The occurrence of such an absurd situation where the academic affairs director falsely accuses a student is a folly of the school administrators! It is the indulgence of the unseen puppeteers..."

He has been dominating his territory in San Zhong for these years, and even some unofficial discussions about books have been circulating in secret. Who has ever dared to completely ignore him? The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and Jia Liping, who felt like he was about to explode, stood up, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at Yang Yi: "You..."

On the podium, the rather disheveled Jia Liping pointed at Shishiran with a look of pity, stammering "You, you, you" for quite a while, yet failing to articulate a coherent point. Meanwhile, the old principal Xue Haiqing calmly shifted his beloved teacup to the side, fearing the collateral damage of the situation.

In front of the podium, Yang Yi's speech was nearing its conclusion. Jia Liping attempted several times to angrily shout "outrageous" to interrupt Yang Yi, but in the midst of his fluster, he found himself unable to catch his breath under Yang Yi's relentless questioning. As for the other school leaders and teachers...

When Yang Yi proactively requested to leave her phone number and name in the school's expenditure record book, the woman in her thirties felt even more at ease, completely unaware that this well-behaved boy with a gentle smile had secretly torn off one of the receipts.

Did you not see the actions of the esteemed Vice Principal Xue Haiqing

Having been granted a second chance by heaven, how can one possibly betray such a divine favor

The entire campus suddenly fell silent.

What kind of attitude is this? What does it mean? To openly confront the school leadership and disregard the school's ethos and discipline, such social scum should be expelled! Expelled!

Tian Zhengwu wanted to vehemently accuse Yang Yi of slandering him with lies, but he could only utter a couple of muffled sounds from his throat, unable to say anything at all, because the document in Yang Yi's hand at that moment was particularly glaring.

On May 27, an official reception cost a total of 560 yuan, Tian Zhengwu

The roar of Jia Liping faintly reached Yang Yi's ears in the campus, and the buzzing whispers and discussions among the students had not yet subsided. However, these were of no concern to Yang Yi. What he needed to do now was to vindicate himself and the library.

As a school leader at San Zhong, failing to investigate the fundamental causes of the tragedy, not correcting one's own behavior, not educating the younger generation to be good individuals, not providing the victims and students with the truth, but instead attempting to embellish the true evil deeds, trying every means to divert everyone's attention, and ultimately brazenly framing and slandering innocent students! Such a person is truly a shameless high-ranking individual, and also a fool with a mind full of excrement

Seeing Tian Zhengwu's disheveled appearance, Yang Yi felt a surge of satisfaction: "Are you unable to answer my question? Or are you afraid to answer? The perpetrator has been shamelessly exonerated by you, while the true victim's grievances have nowhere to be voiced. As for us, two innocent bystanders, we have become the victims of some people's attempts to evade responsibility and divert attention. Is there anything more shameless and despicable in this world than this?

Indeed, you have gone mad. Aren't you the one who usually looks down on him even more than I do? Yang Man was helplessly groaning in her heart

The focus of the counterattack lies on the academic affairs director who falsely testified and framed him. On the evening of May 27, 1997, he was not at the school at all, but rather at a designated restaurant on the dining street near the Third Middle School, hosting a delegation from a school in a western province.

In just 20 minutes, when Yang Yi leisurely stepped back onto the campus, Jia Liping was still furiously ranting. Although he had successfully shifted the blame onto two students, transforming the pressure from the education committee into a rectification campaign against the students, Yang Yi's earlier disregard for him, especially the two phrases "shamelessly distorting black and white," made Jia Liping, who fancied himself the emperor of the Third Middle School, feel as if he had been dealt a heavy slap in the face.

Yang Yi keenly caught the fleeting panic in Tian Zhengwu's eyes. He shook his head and lightly said, "You reap what you sow, you cannot live." However, over three thousand students heard him clearly. Then Yang Yi took out a receipt from https://www.hetushu.com and began to read it word by word: "On May 27, a public reception cost 560 yuan, Tian Zhengwu! Director Tian, what else do you have to say? On the 27th, did you just happen to pass by our classroom, or were you receiving an inspection team from another school at Taoranju? Should we call 110 now to verify the handwriting on this receipt?"

The two girls standing in front of them exchanged glances and turned around upon hearing this conversation

At this moment, Yang Man's close friend had already freed herself from her dazed expression. Seeing the local tyrant from the Third Middle School and his lackey, the director, rendered speechless by a student's questioning, she suddenly blurted out: "Man Man, how about introducing me to your brother?"

The scorching summer wind has ceased, and under the clearly bright sky, there is a tense atmosphere reminiscent of dark clouds besieging a city

At that time, I signed the contract while intoxicated, and later I actually forgot about it! ... It's over ...! ... It's over! With no ideas left, Tian Zhengwu's mind went blank. The matter of slandering the student could be serious or trivial, but at this moment, it is likely that Jia Liping would not dare to guarantee his safety.

Yang Man, whose arm was tightly grasped by this little girl, felt no pain at all. The astonishment in her eyes was no less than that of her close friend. Within the family, this cousin, who was born just a few days earlier, had always been someone she looked down upon. He had a soft personality and was mediocre in studies, excelling only in Chinese while being subpar in all other subjects. Additionally, influenced by the adults in the family to some extent, Yang Man had hardly ever regarded Yang Yi with any respect at school.

With a loud bang, the students could no longer pay attention to Jia Liping's reaction, and they all burst into laughter— they did not understand why Yang Yi had the audacity to openly challenge Jia Liping, nor did they know why he had returned! However, they could clearly hear that Yang Yi's words were a blatant mockery and teasing directed at Jia Liping, and this kind of fearlessness and humor was precisely what children of this age admired the most
