Qi Shuheng was in a foul mood right now. This year's Outstanding Teacher award had nothing to do with him; he wasn't even nominated.

Though no one had explicitly said anything, he knew very well that the situation was all thanks to Shu Lulu!

His son was also a student at this school and had become infatuated with Shu Lulu during his first year, leading not only to a steep decline in his grades but also to picking up smoking and drinking.

In fact, right on the cusp of the college entrance exam, his son, having been rejected after confessing his love to Shu Lulu, cursed her out in front of everyone. The words were so vile that he couldn't believe they actually came from his son's mouth!

The impact of this incident was nothing short of disastrous! It would be a miracle if he got nominated for Outstanding Teacher!

Even though his younger brother was the director of education at the school, he couldn't withstand the negative influence of this incident to help him with the Outstanding Teacher nomination.

And to make matters worse, the very next day, some parent had reported him to the Education Bureau for charging money from parents under the guise of tutoring!

Angry as he was, his vision even started having problems. He could barely see clearly even if someone was three or four meters away.

At this moment, upon seeing Shu Lulu's parents, he even felt an urge to curse them out.

After getting no response twice from Qi Shuheng, Chu Ge finally lost his patience, thinking that this middle-aged teacher must be out of his mind?

Frowning, Chu Ge had no interest in wasting words with Qi Shuheng, so he turned around and walked towards a teacher's office down the hallway.

This time, when he asked where Shu Lulu was, the teachers in the office looked somewhat strange but were not as bad as Qi Shuheng's attitude. A young female teacher kindly told him that Shu Lulu was currently in the fourth-floor's administration office.

Inside the administration office, Director Qi Shuyuan showed a stern face, acting all righteously, but his eyes sneakily darted over Shu Lulu. He secretly rejoiced, thinking this was practically a godsend opportunity.

"Shu Lulu, the evidence is so clear now, are you still refusing to admit your mistake?"

"Director, it wasn't me, it really wasn't me."

Standing opposite Qi Shuyuan, Shu Lulu sobbed while shaking her head. She was truly panicking now, her usual cheerful and lively demeanor nowhere to be seen.

Seeing Shu Lulu's tear-streaked face and futile explanations, Qi Shuyuan felt a perverse pleasure. As the word "Director" reached his ears, he automatically fantasized it as "Master."

Though gleeful inside, Qi Shuyuan didn't show it, continuing to act from a moral high ground as he snorted disdainfully.

"Not you? Did someone else's wallet grow wings and fly into your bag? Isn't Li Xin your friend? You even stole a friend's wallet, how morally corrupt you are! You're simply a stain on our Third High School!"

"I didn't... really didn't... there must be some misunderstanding..."

Still now, Shu Lulu found it hard to believe that Li Xin could have set her up. Aren't the two of them supposed to be very close friends?

"Misunderstanding? Ha... Shu Lulu, let me tell you, stop pretending to be pitiful with me. Your actions amount to a crime; you cannot be retained by the school. From now on, I officially expel you! I'm calling the police, so you can reunite with your convict father in prison!"

Finishing his righteous tirade, Qi Shuyuan picked up the phone, pretending to dial, while sneakily glancing at Shu Lulu.

"No, don't..."

Just as Qi Shuyuan had expected, after he delivered such harsh words, Shu Lulu became even more flustered, stepping forward in a hurry to hold the arm he raised with the phone, her eyes filled with tears, shaking her head desperately.

Indeed, Shu Lulu didn't like studying, but if she was expelled right before the college entrance exam and even got arrested, she couldn't fathom her mother's reaction upon learning this.

Sneaking a glance at Shu Lulu's ample chest, Qi Shuyuan felt even more pleased, yet he showed a cold smile, slowly lowering the phone.

"Don't want? Right, calling the police now is indeed premature. I suspect you have other stolen goods on you, so take off your clothes and let me check."

Shu Lulu was stunned for a moment, then immediately let go of her grip on Qi Shuyuan's arm, retreating several steps, adding shame and humiliation to her already helpless expression.

At this point, although Qi Shuyuan still carried a guise of righteousness, Shu Lulu finally saw the fox's tail he exposed and, from the sinister light barely visible in his eyes, realized his utterly filthy intentions.

"Qi Shuyuan, I warn you, don't even think about touching me, or I'll dare to take your life!"

Having her thoughts exposed by Shu Lulu, Qi Shuyuan's skin twitched slightly, then he raised his chin, letting out a cold snort.

"Hmph! I bet you're nervous, and that's why you don't dare let me check, right? Stop pretending to be so noble. With your father in prison, what good could you possibly be? You've probably been taken advantage of countless times already, haven't you?"

"Get lost! You can insult me, and I can bear it, but try insulting my father again?

Using the back of her hand, Shu Lulu fiercely wiped away the tears on her face and grabbed an ashtray from the table. Her face showed no trace of weakness, and her eyes were full of coldness.

"Shu Lulu, calm down! Put the ashtray down! Do you want to make things worse?"

Looking at the glass ashtray in Shu Lulu's hand, Qi Shuyuan felt quite uneasy. His gaze flickered as he spoke, sounding formidable but feeling intimidated, while slowly edging closer to Shu Lulu.

The distance between them was already quite close, and as Qi Shuyuan subtly moved forward, it became even closer without Shu Lulu realizing it.

Suddenly, Qi Shuyuan raised his hand without warning!

Shu Lulu's pupils shrank, and she hurriedly threw the ashtray at Qi Shuyuan!

Unfortunately, she was still a step too slow. Just as her arm rose halfway, before she could exert force, the ashtray, the only thing that could threaten Qi Shuyuan, was swatted aside by him.

"You little bitch! I've wanted you for a long time! Previously, Young Master Jiang was interested in you, so I held back a bit. Now that he doesn't care, let's see who the hell can stop me!"

As the ashtray fell to the ground with a crisp sound, Qi Shuyuan grabbed Shu Lulu's arm, wickedly tore off his facade, revealing the hideous true nature beneath his righteous exterior.

"Ah! Let go! Get away!"

Shu Lulu cried out in terror, desperately struggling; but with her strength, how could she possibly be a match for the robust Qi Shuyuan?

"Scream, go ahead and scream! I'm the only one on this floor today; even if I kill you, no one will know! As long as I use protection and leave no evidence, no one will ever catch me! Make sure you scream loud later, help fire me up! Hahaha!"

Listening to Qi Shuyuan's unbridled laughter beside her, Shu Lulu had never felt this terrified before, her heart practically sinking to her feet.

At the same time, amidst her grievance and reluctance, an incredibly clear image of someone floated in her mind.

"Uncle!"

Using almost all her strength, Shu Lulu shouted loudly towards the door.

As Chu Ge arrived at the teaching office door, just about to knock, he heard Shu Lulu's heart-wrenching cry from behind the door.

As Shu Lulu's voice reached his ears, Chu Ge's already furrowed brow tightened even more.

"Uncle? Call me Master!" Qi Shuyuan laughed heartily, feeling even more excited.

But just as he controlled Shu Lulu with one hand, and pulled off his tie with the other, the door suddenly gave a muffled thud. Not only did the thick door panel shake, but even the frame quivered.

Qi Shuyuan was stunned for a moment, while Shu Lulu took this opportunity to finally escape his grasp.

Just as she was about to run to the door, Shu Lulu was also completely stunned by the loud noise and the unimaginable scene before her.

"Bang!"

"Clang!"

The heavy door panel, along with some sand and stone from the frame, crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Immediately, a figure obscured by dust appeared at the doorway.

A ray of sunlight, through the gap in the thick curtain of the teaching office, illuminated the swirling dust in the air and cast light on that person's face. As he strode into the room, the dust slowly settled, and his face finally became incredibly clear.

"Hey there, little girl?"

Covering his nose with one hand and fanning the dust with the other, Chu Ge walked in with a wide grin.

"Uncle? You... you really came..."

Pressing her lips together, Shu Lulu's eyes filled with tears again. She covered her mouth, as two streams of clear tears slid down her cheeks.

"What are you crying for, give me a smile."

Completely ignoring Qi Shuyuan, who was staring blankly at the fallen door panel, Chu Ge walked over to Shu Lulu. Like a parent pampering a child, he ruffled her hair, then used his thumbs to wipe away the tears still flowing from her eyes.

Feeling the warmth from Chu Ge's hands, seeing the slight smile on his lips, and hearing his offbeat words, in that instant, a smile broke through Shu Lulu's tears. All her grievances, fear, anger, anxiety were replaced by a sense of warmth!
