The woeful cries echoed in the office.

Lin Chuan, unruffled, smoked a cigarette. He turned around to look at Director Liu, who was lying on the ground wailing.

Zhou Kai rushed forward in a dash, stepping on Director Liu's chest and sneering, "Surname Liu, listen up, you must find a solution to this problem, otherwise, we won't let you get away with it."

"I... I want to call the police!" Director Liu still insisted on calling the police.

Lin Chuan sneered, then said, "Call the police?"

"Yes, call the police!" Director Liu said through gritted teeth.

"Alright, I'll give you a chance!" Lin Chuan placed his own cellphone just a meter away from Director Liu. Director Liu could reach it if he stretched his arm. However, at the same time, a sharp cleaver hovered in the air. Lin Chuan sneered, "If you dare reach out, you'll lose that arm. So, do you choose to call the police, or to save your arm?"

"You!" Director Liu was stupefied, facing a difficult choice, unable to decide for himself as he gritted his teeth.

"Dare you?" Lin Chuan sneered.

"I'll do it!" Director Liu thought Lin Chuan wouldn't dare, so he braced himself and reached out desperately.

Click...

The hand moved, the cleaver fell.

Splat...

Under reflex, Director Liu swiftly withdrew his hand, and in that instant, a finger was chopped off.

"Ow!!!" Director Liu immediately screamed in agony. The piercing cries made Zhou Kai and Lu Dapao couldn't help but cover their ears.

"Damn, he screams like a pig being slaughtered!" Zhou Kai said disapprovingly.

"Even pigs sound better than him." Lu Dapao laughed.

Nuo Xiaoxi was dumbfounded, perhaps she hadn't snapped out from the bloody scene yet. Lin Chuan held Nuo Xiaoxi, softly comforting her, "Don't be afraid, this man deserves this."

"Brother Lin, let it go," Nuo Xiaoxi looked up at Lin Chuan and said: "We have already taught him enough lessons, I think it's enough."

"That won't do." Lin Chuan shook his head and said: "Such a person needs to be completely crushed."

"But, he looks like he's almost dead," Nuo Xiaoxi said worriedly: "What if he actually dies?"

"We can handle it," Lin Chuan smiled and said: "So, don't worry."

Meanwhile, Zhou Kai went over, grinning and said: "Director Liu, what do you think... still want to call the police?"

"No... no more calling the police!" Director Liu had realized that he had encountered some tough bastards, and if he kept pushing against them, he might end up dead in a terrible way. So, he decided to temporarily yield, then look for another solution later.

"Very well," Zhou Kai nodded and said: "That's a wise man."

Lin Chuan asked smilingly, "Tell us, how do you plan to resolve this?"

"I... I don't know!" Director Liu shook his head.

"You've harmed so many girls, shouldn't you be punished?" Lin Chuan said with a smile: "I don't want your life, just confiscating your tools of the crime will do."

At this moment, Zhou Kai and Lu Dapao both held down his limbs.

"Don't... don't!" Director Liu begged bitterly: "Spare me, I know my mistakes, I won't dare anymore. I... I'm willing to pay compensation. I really am willing to pay. Nuo Xiaoxi, I beg you, please have them let me go, making a big fuss out of this will do no good to anyone!"

On one hand, he was bitterly pleading; on the other, he was issuing a stern threat.

Sure enough, Nuo Xiaoxi wavered, she quickly grabbed Lin Chuan's arm and said, "Brother Lin, let it go maybe. Who is flawless, after all? Can we really expect him to be entirely faultless? Since he is willing to change, we should give him a chance."

"Yes, yes, yes, I am willing to change, I really am willing to change," Director Liu pleaded urgently.

Lin Chuan looked at him disdainfully and said: "A leopard can't change its spots. Can you change?"

"Change, definitely will change!" Director Liu hurriedly said: "If I can't change, may heaven strike me with thunder, may I be killed by a car the moment I step outside!"

Lin Chuan chuckled and said, "Alright, since you've sworn on your life, I'll give you a chance."

"Thank you, thank you..." Director Liu immediately relaxed, his eyes excitedly fixed on the group, repeatedly expressing his gratitude.

"Don't be too quick to thank us." Lin Chuan sneered: "This isn't over yet, I may not confiscate your tools of crime, but that doesn't mean I won't hold you responsible!"

"Uh..." Director Liu was dumbfounded, and awkwardly said: "Then... what do you want?"

"Come up with one million, and we'll consider this matter settled." Lin Chuan took a puff of his cigarette and said: "If you can't come up with one million, then the tools of crime still need to be confiscated!"

"What?!" Director Liu was immediately dumbfounded.

One million is indeed a lot for a school director of academic affairs. His monthly salary was just eight or nine thousand, it would take ten years of saving every penny to accumulate one million. To ask him to produce one million on the spot was truly difficult.

"Director Liu, I know you can produce one million with no problem, right?" Lin Chuan sneered coldly.

Director Liu was stunned for a moment, he looked at Lin Chuan awkwardly and forced a smile, "I am just a director of academic affairs, asking me for one million... isn't this demanding the impossible?"

"Haha..." Lin Chuan laughed loudly, "That's not demanding the impossible at all. I'm sure you can produce it."

"I really don't have it!" Director Liu shook his head helplessly.

"It seems we can only confiscate your tools of crime then; otherwise, we cannot teach you this lesson!" Lin Chuan spoke up.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Zhou Kai and Lu Dapao immediately went forward to restrain the other party. Seeing this, Director Liu hurriedly screamed: "Don't...don't, I'll pay, I'll pay!"

"That's more like it!" Lin Chuan scoffed with disdain.

Then, Director Liu got up trembling, and cautiously glanced at the people around.

"Hurry up, don't dawdle, or I'll get impatient and slice you with one knife," Lu Dapao roared angrily.

Director Liu hastened his pace in fright.

Director Liu moved to a position against the wall, then shifted a painting on the wall, revealing a hidden safe. Carefully, he input the password and went through fingerprint verification, quickly opening the safe on the wall. Inside, it was piled with stack upon stack of cash, filling the entire safe.

"Wow, that's a lot of money." Zhou Kai glanced and couldn't help but laugh: "Didn't you just say you didn't have money?"

Director Liu's face was awkward as he counted out stack by stack, a bundle of one hundred thousand, totaling ten stacks. A total of one million. Even after taking out one million, the amount inside didn't seem to have diminished at all, as if it were just a drop in the bucket of this safe.

Lu Dapao put the one million in cash into a woven nylon sack, then hoisted it over his shoulder.

"Brother Chuan, what now?" Lu Dapao asked.

"Since Director Liu has handed over a million, naturally we'll follow the rules of the street," Lin Chuan smiled and said: "Let's go!"

Afterwards, the group swiftly left Director Liu's office.

Director Liu, seeing them leave, quickly shut the door behind them and locked it, collapsing onto the floor. He was sweating profusely. If he hadn't handed over the million, he might have become the last eunuch in modern China.

After some time to steady his emotions, Director Liu soon regained his composure.

"Damn it, daring to mess with me." Director Liu was boiling with anger, and decided to find someone to severely deal with Lin Chuan and his friends. In the provincial city, he had some connections, and dealing with Lin Chuan and his gang would be fairly easy.

............

Lin Chuan and Nuo Xiaoxi left the office.

Zhou Kai was smoking a cigarette, observing the various girls in the campus along the way. Lu Dapao, carrying a stack of money, was in high spirits, occasionally patting the money bag on his shoulder. For him, money was the best friend.

"Brother Chuan, do you think Director Liu will let this go?" Zhou Kai asked.

"Of course not!" Lin Chuan shook his head.

"Uh…" Lu Dapao was taken aback and said: "What do we do then? Princess Xiaoxi is still studying here."

"Don't worry, he'll probably send someone over soon." Lin Chuan smiled and said: "We just need to stay in the school for one day, I believe trouble will find us soon!"

"Brother Chuan, since you know, why give him the opportunity?" Zhou Kai eagerly said: "Why not just confiscate his tools of crime outright, why play these pointless games with him?"

"I want to completely drive him to despair!" Lin Chuan said with a cold chuckle: "I want him to know, even King Yan can't help him."

Zhou Kai and Lu Dapao quickly understood the implications of Lin Chuan's words, and smiled at each other: "Got it, Brother Chuan!"

At noon, the group had lunch in the school cafeteria. The three girls from Nuo Xiaoxi's dormitory joined them as well.

Zhou Kai and Lu Dapao, thrilled, observed the three girls. The three girls living with Nuo Xiaoxi were all very attractive—besides Xiao Ning, who was a typical Jiangnan beauty, the other two were northern beauties, with long legs and slender waists, all quite enchanting. Zhou Kai and Lu Dapao were extremely excited.

"Did you… really deal with Director Liu?" Xiao Ning curiously asked.

"Indeed!" Zhou Kai chuckled and said: "Beat him till he was like a dead dog. He surrendered obediently."

"And he even compensated us one million!" Lu Dapao slapped the nylon bag on the table.

The girls were instantly dumbstruck. They could hardly believe it.

"Cough cough…" Lin Chuan coughed.

Zhou Kai and Lu Dapao immediately dared not speak any further. These two guys really got carried away. Lin Chuan smiled and said, "Don't listen to their nonsense, hurry up and eat. The food in this school seems pretty good; no wonder everyone's so plump."
