Chapter 45: Double Reed

  A few words that were neither hot nor cold made Tang Yingying angry and embarrassed.

  Crash! The chess pieces scattered all over the floor.

  Tang Yingying suddenly stood up like an angry mother tiger: "What did you say?"

  Her tone was not loud, her voice was not heavy, she looked down at Qin Di from a high position, and said with an air of arrogance: "What did you say? Have the guts to say it again?"

  "Old maid!" Qin Di sneered, saying lightly: "And an old maid with no chess skills!"

  "Qin Di, I'm going to kill you!" Tang Yingying bared her teeth and brandished her claws, exuding an aura of killing intent. However, she was intimidated by Qin Di's towering physique and well-developed limbs. Despite being at a disadvantage, she chose to adopt a fierce and intimidating stance.

  Qin Di directly ignored her intimidating aura and that murderous gaze, narrowing his eyes as he said: "I'm afraid you don't have the skills for it!"

  Tang Ziyin gazed at his niece, who was as fierce as a tigress, and then glanced at Qin Di, who was calm and composed. He narrowed his eyes in surprise, but didn't have the slightest intention of intervening. Instead, he held up his cup of tea to watch the commotion. Unfortunately, the instructor was intimidated by Tang Yingying's icy demeanor and stood there trembling with fear, unsure whether to scold Qin Di for being reckless or if he truly believed that Tang Yingying was naturally cruel and a spinster. Either way, he was terrified, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

  Fortunately, the principal seemed to have finally noticed his presence, waving at him with a military salute while casting a warning glance in his direction.

  The counselor rushed out of the office like a bird in flight, reminding himself that he had seen and heard nothing.

  Tang Yingying apparently found that she couldn't outdo Qin Di in this kind of game, so she smiled slightly and restrained her anger, making a small threat: "Qin Di, don't forget I'm your teacher. Do you want to fail this semester?"

  "I fail every semester, but I won't let you get away with this one." Qin Di was a sore loser and refused to back down.

  Tang Yingying was furious, her phoenix eyes staring at the student who dared to scold her as an old spinster, indignantly saying: "Qin Di, believe it or not, I'll find a way to make you unable to stay in school?"

  "Oh, what a coincidence! I was just thinking of dropping out anyway. Thanks for making it easy for me, Teacher Tang!" Qin Di said with a playful tone, exuding an air of boldness and unruliness that wasn't ordinary.

  Tang Yingying was so angry that she couldn't help but pout, her sexy little mouth opening and closing, her beautiful face flushing red, a pair of twin peaks rising and falling on her chest, making for a truly spectacular sight. And Qin Di's position just happened to allow him to take in the full view of her cleavage, what a broad "chest" she had.

  Tang Yingying seemed to have also discovered that Qin Di was unscrupulously directing his gaze at her chest, feeling that the twin peaks under her clothes were being ogled by those thieving eyes. Tang Yingying's face changed color as she turned to look at Tang Ziyin with a wronged expression, pitifully saying: "Principal, this student is being rude to the teacher!"

  "I didn't see anything!" The principal was completely unflappable and detached from the situation.

  "I'm usually not rude to old virgins." Qin Di said calmly, his heart delighted, it's rare for this girl to suffer such a great loss, he was thrilled.

  Tang Yingying was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She had always thought herself to be superior and had enough capital, but Qin Di was no longer the same as before. He dared to put the Ji family in a low position, and Tang Yingying's attempt to intimidate him with her aura was too childish. It wasn't that Tang Yingying didn't have enough background or prestige, but rather she lacked his domineering and unruly heroic spirit. So Qin Di very rudely set aside Tang Da Xiaojie and turned to look at Tang Ziyan, who had been watching the battle from a distance, smiling and saying: "The principal summoned me, won't it be just to have me play chess with a woman who has no chess skills?"

  Tang Ziyin smiled bitterly, and Tang Yingying said coldly, "Who doesn't have chess skills?"

  Qin Di pretended he hadn't heard.

  Tang Ziyin looked at Qin Di and then glanced at his niece, thinking that this pair of men and women seemed like a couple who were destined to be together, yet somehow they also gave off a sense of being sworn enemies... no, more like a feeling of having a past grievance.

  What a sin!

  The principal let out a soft sigh and frowned at Qin Di: "As for Zhang Zhe's matter, I think it should be left as is!"

  Qin Di said sternly: "This won't do, we must give the victim justice!"

  "Yes! Justice must be served to the victims! Especially for a murderer like you, you should be taken away and shot!" Tang Yingying said coldly.

  "Am I doing the right thing by standing up for justice?" Qin Di said calmly.

  Tang Yingying sneered, "You call this chivalry? You've broken the limbs of three people and left two others severely injured, one with a broken rib. Is this what you call justice? Qin Di, isn't this just plain brutality?" She didn't even look at Qin Di's face, instead turning to Principal Tang Ziyin, "I think we should report this heinous crime to the police and let the law give the victims some justice."

  "Report it? You think the Public Security Bureau is your family's?" Qin Di said coldly.

  Tang Yingying smiled slightly and said: "The Public Security Bureau is still run by my family."

  Qin Di "uh-huh"ed and suddenly remembered that this chick's old man was the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

  The Public Security Bureau said it was her family's, and indeed it wasn't an exaggeration. No wonder this girl would commit a crime on the left and report to the police on the right, turns out she had backing.

  "So, classmate Qin Di, you'd better be honest with me, or I have many ways to deal with you!"

  Qin Di raised an eyebrow, his face full of disdain. He was no fool and could naturally see through the act that Tang Ziyuan and Tang Yinying were putting on.

  This is clearly a double-edged sword, one black and one white, requiring him to make concessions on the Zhang Zhe matter.

  However, Qin Di would not be easily deceived and gave Tang Yingying a disdainful glance.

  Tang Yingying took one look and got angry, disregarding everything, and threatened fiercely: "Qin Di classmate, don't suspect that I'm not capable of this. On this point, I believe you have a number in your heart. If you don't want to be followed by the police all day, then you can also ignore my existence."

  Qin Di was somewhat annoyed, this guy eats everything but doesn't eat threats. He said coldly: "Hey, Teacher Tang really thinks your dad is Li Gang, what a big official! Trying to scare people, huh? But I'm not afraid, because I know one or two people who are better off than your old man. If you can get the police to follow me around, I can ask someone to get the Discipline Inspection Committee to follow your dad around, let's see who can outlast each other! By the way, Old Tang, don't doubt whether I have this ability, your dad knows more about it than you do."

  "You..." Tang Yingying was furious, but immediately deflated. This was something she had expected, it's just that she couldn't help feeling angry at her own student speaking to her like this.

  She gritted her teeth in hatred and cursed Qin Di's ancestors for nineteen generations.

  Qin Di doesn't care about her, the dark face is gone, and the white face appears naturally.

  As expected, Tang Ziyin seemed to have not heard Qin Di and Tang Yingying's confrontation, smiling and walking over with a cup of tea in hand, still looking very approachable. With a smile in his eyes, he said: "Qin Di, how can you speak to the teacher like that? Come on, let's have a cup of tea and talk slowly. It's just about giving an explanation to the victim, right? You tell me, what kind of explanation method do you want? As long as it's not excessive, we can discuss it."

  Qin Di naturally didn't dare to offend this principal and politely said: "I'll compensate."

  Tang Ziyin was also very straightforward and directly asked: "How much money do you want?"

  "200,000!" Qin Di thought for a moment and didn't dare to open his mouth too wide. Mainly because he had a number in mind, if he said more, he estimated that the principal would slap him in the face. Qin Di didn't dare to fight with this smiling tiger, 100% would be beaten and could only swallow his anger without any resentment or revenge. So Qin Di reported a relatively conservative number.

  Tang Ziyin was very satisfied, and things weren't as difficult as he had imagined. Without saying another word, he pulled out a stack of cash from the drawer, took out two stacks from it, and slapped them directly in front of Qin Di: "Count it."

  "No need!" Qin Di replied, not looking at the 200,000 yuan on the tea table, but rather glancing at the stack of cash in Tang Ziyin's hand, which was at least 800,000. Qin Di immediately knew he had underbid, and the principal's bottom line should be one million.

  Qin Di felt very displeased in his heart, knowing that this was the principal's deliberate attempt to anger him, but he had no way to counter it.

  Tang Yingying finally revealed a victorious smile, as if as long as Qin Di was unhappy, she would be very happy.

  "Kid, you can get out of here now. Remember not to bother Zhang Zhe again, or I'll come after you." The principal was so direct, the order to leave was given with such style and intimidation.

  Moreover, Qin Di listened and didn't dare to show any temper, honestly took the money and left, but just as he was about to reach the door, the principal suddenly asked: "Young man, who did you learn Go from?"

  "An old man who raised me from the age of twelve!" Qin Di replied, suddenly thinking of the welfare home's elderly person who always smiled and stroked his head, saying things he seemed to understand but didn't.

  The principal grunted, expressionless, until Qin Di walked out of the room. He then turned around to look at his niece and smiled: "How was it? Did you lose out? I told you so, this kid doesn't take softness but only hardness. You didn't believe me and wanted to be tough with him. Now that he's thoroughly taught you a lesson, your heart must not feel good."

  Tang Yingying curled her lip in distaste and said, "Third Uncle, he's just relying on the Ji family to dare be so presumptuous!"

  Tang Ziyin chuckled and said: "You don't want the police to follow him around all day, do you? Who's backing him?"

  Tang Yingying gave her uncle a white eye and said: "I just can't get used to his fearless look."

  Tang Ziyin sat in the chair, rubbing his temples and shaking his head: "He's not just fearless, he's making people respect him one foot, while he respects them ten feet. In terms of character, Qin Di is quite good. Although I've only met him a few times, I can see clearly that this student has his own way of doing things, is a straightforward person with a strong sense of justice, and has a heroic spirit. So it's inevitable that he's a bit hot-headed. Take the way he taught Zhang Zhe and those spoiled brats a lesson, for example. I won't say how ruthless he was, but just this behavior alone is worthy of admiration. This is also why I like this student... because students like him are too rare in this world."

  Tang Yingying hummed in agreement, smiled to herself, and slyly said: "Actually, I also can't stand those few spoiled brats. I've been wanting to teach them a lesson for a long time, but he beat me to it. Although it's quite satisfying, I just don't like the way he looks at me. This is the first time I've met a student who dares to be so reckless with me. It's really infuriating! One of these days, I'll make him regret being so arrogant, hmph..."

  Tang Ziyin couldn't help but glare at her, thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "Yingying, you should also find a man to control you!"

  "Mind your own business!" Tang Yingying glared at Third Uncle, turned around and walked away. Her tight-fitting clothes accentuated her curves, making her look even more stunning. She was a woman with unparalleled beauty and temperament, but unfortunately, she was too overbearing. Only Qin Di dared to call her an old spinster in front of her face. However, given Tang Yingying's arrogant personality, she would definitely make Qin Di pay for it, as she was already thinking about how to get back at him.

  She picked up the phone as she left the office, just about to dial, but after thinking for a moment, she put it down again, constantly telling herself that there's still plenty of time ahead and no need to rush.

  "Don't let it fall into the hands of your aunt, or you'll never be able to call yourself a man!"

  It's just next time we clash, who will be more miserable?
