Gu Xing felt he was going insane.

He never dreamed that he'd only wanted to show off in front of a girl to make it easier to get with her later, yet he would end up offending such a terrifyingly influential person!

He had thought the guy sitting nearby was just some poor loser from the dregs of society, but he later realized this was a tycoon with 8.6 billion in his current account, someone who could get a student expelled from school with a single WeChat message!

This is freaking unbelievable! This must be a nightmare, a total nightmare!

Gu Xing felt the world itself had become unreal. How could such bizarre things happen? It was just too damn absurd!

SMACK! SMACK! SMACK!

He began slapping his own face frantically, shouting, "Wake up! Wake up! This has to be a dream! This is definitely a dream!"

The people around were stupefied, thinking Gu Xing had gone mad. After all, considering the enormous mental shock he had just received, it wasn't surprising that he might have been driven mad.

On the day before he was supposed to enter one of the nation's top universities, he got expelled just because he wanted to show off while trying to pick up a girl. This was truly a case of reaping what he sowed; he had no one to blame but himself. If he hadn't been so arrogant earlier, he wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable situation.

"AAARGH!!" Gu Xing screamed madly, continually slapping his own face, and roared, "Impossible! This can't be happening! Why haven't I woken up yet? Why?! This is a dream! Why can't I wake up?!"

He was on the verge of collapse. He realized that no matter how hard he slapped his face, he couldn't wake up from this "dream." Nothing around him changed in the slightest.

Could it be… could it be this isn't a dream?! Is reality truly like this? Have I really been expelled from school?! Oh my God! Why is this happening?!

"Son! Son! What's wrong with you? What's happened?!" Gu Xing's mother rushed over and hugged him, saying, "Son, don't worry. Maybe that phone call was fake! Maybe this guy is just putting on an act!"

"Fake? Fake?!" Gu Xing, as if clutching at a final lifeline, instantly felt revitalized. He suddenly stood up, pointed at Qin Heng, and burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! That's right! It has to be fake! You hired actors and hackers, didn't you? You faked the school's official number and called my mom, trying to scam me! No way!"

"You're overthinking things," Cui Danwei suddenly said, holding up her phone to show the screen to everyone. It displayed the school's official website.

There was a new announcement on it!

Both the title and content made one thing clear: the new student, Gu Xing, was to be expelled for his misconduct involving forcibly occupying a seat on the high-speed train.

An official website announcement! Who would have thought the official website announcement would come out so quickly!

Some people in the train carriage were still skeptical of Qin Heng. After all, getting a student expelled with a simple WeChat message seemed utterly terrifying and unbelievable. A mere phone call was hardly enough to convince everyone completely. However, now that even the school's official website had posted the announcement, the matter was unquestionably confirmed.

This Gu Xing had been 100% expelled by the school. And, barring any extraordinary turn of events, he could forget about attending any school in Beijing for the rest of his life!

You reap what you sow! Being too arrogant usually leads to offending people you can't afford to cross! In the end, the one who suffers, who is in so much pain they wish for death, who is filled with regret too late to mend, will always be oneself.

Gu Xing was frozen again, his expression that of a complete fool. His eyes widened, staring fixedly at the official announcement on Cui Danwei's phone. His gaze was empty, devoid of any light. To describe him as withered, his complexion ashen, was no exaggeration for his current state. He was like a dead man, motionless, without any sign of life, like a walking corpse that had lost its soul. Only an empty shell remained; he hardly resembled a living person anymore.

"Go back. Don't stand here shocked and dismayed," Qin Heng said indifferently. "This is just a minor punishment. If there's a next time, you won't be so lucky!"

Upon hearing this, the people around first paused, then nodded repeatedly, admiration filling their eyes as they looked at Qin Heng. No one doubted Qin Heng's words because they felt incredibly real, without a hint of falsehood.

A man with 8.6 billion in his current account, who could casually spend 1 billion to acquire assets worth tens of billions, and could force a university to expel an incoming student with some baffling reason! Such power, such influence! Within all of China, there were very few like him; it was truly astonishing, truly top-tier!

If this young man hadn't directed his power at expelling Gu Xing, but had instead decided to slowly destroy him after reaching Beijing, he absolutely could have done it! In the end, Gu Xing might not even have known how he died, his life ending in complete bafflement! For this young man surnamed Qin, such a thing was certainly not difficult. In fact, it might not even require him to give a verbal order. If his subordinates, or those wanting to curry favor with him, learned about today's incident on the high-speed train, they would take it upon themselves to deal with Gu Xing. Then, like dogs, they would go to Qin Heng to claim credit and seek rewards.

Therefore, in the eyes of the onlookers, when Qin Heng said he had merely meted out a small punishment, it was indeed the truth.

But Gu Xing, as if deeply provoked, pointed at Qin Heng and started cursing, roaring, "You motherfucker! You dumbass rich second-generation brat! You made me drop out! You got the school to expel me!

"You must be doing this out of jealousy! You're jealous of my grades, of my school! I know it! You rich second-generation trash never study; your test scores must be absolute shit!

"You could never set foot in a top school like this in your entire life! Hahaha! Even if you got me expelled, so what? Can you get in?!

"No matter how powerful or influential you are, if you can't study, you're just trash! Even if I'm dropping out now, I was still admitted! I was still awesome!

"And you! Which university did you get into? Let me guess: the richer someone is, the worse they usually are at studying. Someone like you probably only got into some second-tier college in Beijing! Hahaha! Trash! You're a waste!"

Gu Xing had completely lost his mind. He only knew how to wildly mock Qin Heng, venting the hatred in his heart, completely disregarding whether Qin Heng could actually destroy him or not.

The onlookers also cast curious glances at Qin Heng. They too wanted to know what kind of school this top-tier wealthy young man had been admitted to.

Cui Danwei and Shangguan Wen also perked up. They were still students, and in a student's worldview, academic performance and the quality of the school were still very important.

Bo Ling was also curious about which school such an important figure as Qin Heng was attending. In her heart, she already had some suspicions about Qin Heng's identity but wasn't quite sure yet.

"Old Summer Palace Vocational Technical College," Qin Heng said nonchalantly.

At these words, the entire carriage fell into dead silence, a silence like death itself!
