Chapter 77 The Troublemakers Have Arrived
Glancing at the elder with an aura of calm and composure, Zhu Bufan felt a great sense of doubt in his heart, but that didn't lead him to treat the elder with courtesy. Thus, in the next moment, he walked straight over and took a seat!
"Little Zhu, isn't it? What tea would you like to drink? I have Tieguanyin, Pu'er Tea, and jujube tea."
As soon as Zhu Bufan sat down, the elder stood up and asked.
"Oh?"
Faced with the elder's standing inquiry, Zhu Bufan was somewhat puzzled. He genuinely did not understand what kind of game this elder was playing with him. However, Zhu Bufan was not intimidated by any tricks the elder might try to pull, so in the next moment, he casually replied:
"Just Pu'er Tea, I've heard others say it's good!"
"Alright, Pu'er Tea it is!"
The elder, showing no expression upon hearing Zhu Bufan's reply, answered just as casually at the next moment.
Then, the elder really turned around to prepare to get the Pu'er Tea to brew!
But after the elder turned around, he didn't move his feet. Not only did he not move, but he immediately turned back and placed his hand firmly on Zhu Bufan's chair: "Zhu Bufan, you've certainly got some nerve! Coming to my school and causing trouble, shouldn't you give me an explanation first?"
The elder's gaze bore down on Zhu Bufan, as if he would start a fight at any second!
Confronted with the elder's sudden shift in demeanor, Zhu Bufan didn't show any fear. He just chuckled lightly:
"You must be Principal Xia?"
"Hmm? Yes, that's right. I am Xia Jigu, the principal of Tianhai Medical College! What about it? Do you think that because this old senior didn't personally receive you, you can come and stir up trouble in my school?"
Xia Jigu frowned, and his expression changed immediately.
"Haha, Principal Xia, you must be joking. It's not that I caused a fuss here because you didn't come to receive me personally. It's actually because your students were looking for trouble with me, and that forced me to take action!"
"Haha, forced? Your 'forced' resulted in injuring over twenty students and crippling the legs of Director Zhao's nephew. Quite the 'forced' indeed!"
"Oh? Does that mean no matter how I explain it, you won't believe me, Principal Xia?"
"That's right!"
Xia Jigu's face darkened!
"Then go ahead and make your move, Principal Xia. I'll just have to take it!"
"Do you really think that just because you're sent by higher-ups, I wouldn't dare to lay a hand on you? I'm telling you..." Xia Jigu started to blow his beard and glare.
In the next moment, Xia Jigu took on a stance as if he was ready to start a fight right then and there.
"Alright, Elder Xia, I've cooperated with you in this act for long enough. Let's cut to the chase! Tell me, what's the real reason behind Professor Feng bringing me here?"
"Ha ha... So you are indeed someone sent from above! You've seen through me so quickly!"
Xia Jigu's face turned red, and in the next moment, he took out the Pu'er Tea, then brewed two cups!
"Here's the thing, Little Zhu, you've been at our school for nearly a day now, and I believe you've seen some of the situation for yourself. Since you're a person sent from above, I hope that you could cooperate with me to help eliminate some of the 'cancer' within our school!"
Xia Jigu returned to his original seat and took a sip of the freshly brewed Pu'er Tea, then spoke earnestly.
"Hehe, Principal Xia, you're quite the schemer! Using me to help you purge certain influences from the school! Are you really that sure I'll help you?"
Xia Jigu was dead serious, but Zhu Bufan immediately understood.
So, Xia Jigu wanted to use his strength to clean up the school! To eliminate some forces that had been entrenched in Tianhai Medical College for years and were opposed to him!
"Ahem, Bufan, aren't you the one sent by the authorities? Besides, there's some 'work' that you, the younger generation, can carry out better than we, the older one, so that's why I have no choice but to trouble you..."
Upon hearing what Zhu Bufan had to say, Xia Jigu's face immediately turned red.
After all, he was taking advantage of a junior.
Even if Xia Jigu himself was shameless, he couldn't just brush this off in terms of face.
"Bufan, I know you came to our school with a mission, but, you're still a person who serves the nation. Therefore, by joining hands with me, you'd be making a significant contribution to the nation's educational work! Besides, this is related to your mission too!"
"Okay, I don't want to say too much. Next, I'll just go straight to detailing my specific plan..."
As Xia Jigu went on, Zhu Bufan's brows furrowed in an instant.
When Long Aoguo sent Zhu Bufan to this university, he had already told him that Tianhai Medical College now was different from what it used to be.
A certain power within the current Tianhai Medical College seemed to be under the control of H country, but there was no solid evidence yet.
Originally, for the nation, removing a power would certainly be an easy feat, but the reach of this one power within Tianhai Medical College was extensive, so much so that it even involved certain higher-ups, which was why the authorities had so far refrained from acting against it.
Therefore, the agreement between Long Aoguo and Zhu Bufan was that Bufan not only had to successfully get close to and protect Professor Leng's daughter but also had to help the nation capture crucial evidence of this power colluding with H country!
Now that Xia Jigu had spoken this way.
Did it mean that this principal knew something?
"Alright, Principal Xia, I will think about what you've said. If you have nothing else, I will take my leave!"
After Xia Jigu finished laying out his plan, Zhu Bufan didn't wait for him to speak again and took the opportunity to say his piece.
"Okay, Bufan, take some time to consider it. It's a big matter, after all. However, I hope you can reply to me sooner rather than later," Xia Jigu said somewhat helplessly, but he couldn't urge Zhu Bufan too much since he was someone sent by the higher-ups.
"Okay"
...
After leaving the office, Zhu Bufan did not choose to return to the classroom for classes; instead, he went straight back to his dormitory!
Originally, Long Aoguo hadn't mentioned Xia Jigu to him!
So, Zhu Bufan needed to ask Long Aoguo before making any plans!
"Are you Zhu Bufan?"
However, just at that moment, a student wearing a white martial arts uniform blocked Zhu Bufan's path.
"I am. What's the matter?"
Zhu Bufan looked at the stranger with some confusion; he didn't know the person.
"If you are Zhu Bufan, then you're the right guy!" The student in martial arts uniform heard Zhu Bufan's reply and immediately said, "Kid, didn't you brag about wanting to challenge our Martial Brother? Now, our Martial Brother invites you!"
And the look in this person's eyes was filled with ill intent!
