Chapter Twelve: The Blue Flame.

  Liu Daqiang immediately shouted: "No way! With the three classes of those waste... uh, students! It's impossible to reach the bottom line of the mock exam!" Gao Changfeng glared at Liu Daqiang, forcing him to swallow back his insult. In fact, how could Gao Changfeng not know about the grudge between Liu Daqiang and Ling Fei? Moreover, Gao Changfeng also knew what means Liu Daqiang used to climb to his current position, a method that Gao Changfeng had always despised.

  Gao Changfeng said lightly: "The matter has been decided, so let's not talk about it anymore. This time the passing score for the third class seems to be 400 points? Teacher Ling, come on, I'm rooting for you!"

  Ling Fei gave Gao Zhangfeng a grateful smile, and couldn't help but feel moved in his heart, "Being a good person really does bring good fortune!"

  "Alright, today's meeting is adjourned and this matter will not be mentioned again. Teacher Ling, I hope you can reach the passing score this time, not just for yourself, but also for those students."

  Ling Fei nodded solemnly, "Of course, for the sake of the students' future, I will not shirk my responsibility. I'll go up Knife Mountain and down Fire Sea to fight against evil to the end!" As he spoke, Ling Fei glanced at Liu Daqiang with a self-satisfied look, almost causing the latter to lose his temper.

  Gao Changfeng nodded, "So be it, the meeting is dismissed. Ling teacher, wait a minute." As soon as he heard the dismissal, Ling Fei, who was about to leave, had to stop in his tracks and turn around to see everyone else walking out of the conference room. The principal walked up to him and gave him a "be careful" look, which Ling Fei responded to with a smile.

  Gao Changfeng stood up, walked to the window, saw that everyone had left, and then lit a cigarette. He tossed one to Ling Fei from afar. Ling Fei immediately caught it, took a closer look, and found it was Huangshan, five yuan a pack. His eyes swept across the Great Wall cigarettes on the conference table, just as he was about to speak up, Gao Changfeng murmured, "You're wondering why someone like me would smoke this kind of cigarette, aren't you?"

  Ling Fei didn't say a word, but lit a cigarette and puffed out a mouthful of smoke. "A first-rate Huangshan, with high skies and light clouds - good stuff."

  Gao Zhangfeng slowly turned around, leaning on the windowsill, and smiled: "It seems you also like cigarettes." Ling Fei took a puff of his cigarette, "I think you kept me here not to discuss cigarettes, right?"

  Gao Zhangfeng didn't answer Ling Fei's question, but instead asked rhetorically: "Do you understand the kind of pain that comes from standing at a height, looking down at people who are constantly giving you fake smiles, while secretly thinking about how to kick you down?"

  Ling Fei took a drag on his cigarette. "Yes, people always want to reach heights that ordinary people can't, but they don't know that the higher you go, the colder it gets, and being ordinary is true."

  Gao Zhangfeng looked at Ling Fei with a hint of nostalgia, "You're absolutely right. When I was young, I had big ambitions and single-handedly founded the Tianfeng Group. After stumbling and struggling, I transformed from an immature kid into the person I am today, earning respect and fear from others, but losing the simplest joys in life."

  Ling Fei sneered, "Speak up, what do you want me to help you with?" Gao Changfeng nodded, "You're a clever person, but being too clever isn't necessarily a good thing."

  As he spoke, Gao Changfeng took out a photo from his suit pocket. The photo showed a little girl smiling very innocently and cutely. Gao Changfeng looked at the photo as if lost in thought; "This is my daughter, she's now hanging out with a group of thugs, not doing anything proper every day, and recently it seems like she's even started dating someone. I want you to help me, help me deal with that boy."

  Ling Fei suddenly raised his head, his eyes fixed on Gao Changfeng. "President Gao, with your resources, you can't even hire a few thugs? Why do you need to find me?"

  Gao Changfeng faintly shook his head, stretched out his right hand, and a cluster of pale blue flames suddenly burst out, causing the temperature in the entire conference room to drop by several degrees; "Others may not know your skills, but I do, you're an Esper, aren't you?"

  Ling Fei looked at the flame in Gao Changfeng's hand and nodded slightly, "Alright, let's hear it. What benefits will I get from helping you with this matter?"

  Gao Zhangfeng smiled slightly, put away the flames, and skillfully pulled out a checkbook. He drew a string of zeros on it and placed it on the table. "This is ten million. If you get the job done, I'll add another ten million."

  Ling Fei didn't even look at the check, money was just a number to him. He didn't say anything, but started playing with his fingers, making a loud cracking sound that was quite jarring. Gao Changfeng seemed somewhat displeased; "Teacher Ling, one should be content with what they have. Two hundred million is given to you to take care of a child, isn't that enough?"

  Ling Fei shook his finger, took a few steps forward, and placed his hands on the long table. The cigarette smoke in his hand slowly rose to form a mist that separated him from Gao Changfeng. Through this mist, Ling Fei locked eyes with Gao Changfeng. "Don't think you can easily deceive me," he said. "What kind of kid would seek out an ability user? Mr. Gao, let's not beat around the bush. You understand, and I understand. All I want now is a peaceful life, to be a dutiful teacher. I don't know why things always find their way to me. Although 20 million is a handsome sum, it's not enough for me to disrupt my current peaceful life."

  After finishing speaking, Ling Fei picked up the check and tore it to shreds in front of Gao Changfeng, throwing it on the table and staring at him silently.

  Gao Chang furrowed his brow, "Ling Laoshi, you should know that I am one of the school's board members. As soon as I say a word, you will be expelled immediately."

  Ling Fei's mouth curled up into a disdainful smile, "Is that all you've got? If there's nothing else to say, I'll leave first." Gao Changfeng was taken aback, then immediately became angry and shouted: "Ling Fei! You're being ungrateful!"

  Ling Fei gently lifted his hair, his eyes fixed on Gao Changfeng, and said word by word: "I don't like being threatened by others, no matter who they are." Gao Changfeng looked at Ling Fei's eyes, only to feel a chill in his heart, his facial muscles twitched, and his tone also softened. "Mr. Ling, if you don't help me, I really don't know what to do."

  Ling Fei spread his hands wide, "It's simple, get your daughter and that kid into our class." Gao Changfeng's eyes lit up, probing, "You... are willing to help me?"

  Ling Fei smiled and said, "I'm not helping you, don't forget I'm a teacher, teaching and educating is my responsibility. Try to transfer your daughter and that kid to our class, I'll help you with this matter. Oh, by the way, that Liu Daqiang guy..."

  "Rest assured, you won't see him tomorrow." Ling Fei shook his finger, "No, I didn't mean that. I just wanted to say that Director Liu is a hard worker and has made great contributions. You understand? So, I hope he can join the outing I'm organizing the day after tomorrow."

  Gao Changfeng looked at Ling Fei with a puzzled expression, he really didn't understand what Ling Fei wanted to do. Ling Fei sighed, "If something unexpected happens along the way, don't blame me, Director Liu's physical condition is really too poor, needs exercise."

  Gao Changfeng immediately understood, "Alright, I'll go talk to him right away and have him cooperate with your work!" Ling Fei nodded, took a last drag on his cigarette, threw away the butt, "Then I'll take my leave first, Mr. Gao continue with your busy schedule."

  ……

  ……

  Leaving Gao Changfeng, Ling Fei did not immediately return to the office, but instead searched his mind for information related to that blue flame. If he wasn't mistaken, Gao Changfeng didn't know his own identity, otherwise it would be impossible for him to reveal his heterodox abilities in front of him. Ling Fei gritted his teeth and muttered to himself: "Blue flames, if it's you, I'll make sure you don't die well!"

  Three years ago, on a clear morning, Ling Fei was walking with a girl in the woods, when suddenly a burst of bird chirps came, making people feel carefree and joyful. A blue flame completely destroyed everything, and Ling Fei stared blankly at the charred spot on the chest of the person in his arms. If he hadn't hidden his identity, she wouldn't have rushed out to block that blow for him.

  Ling Fei and Murong, Lin, Chen, the three families' grudges are thus unfolded...

  Ling Fei woke up from his memories, faintly turning his head to glance at the conference room door. Although it was just a guess, Ling Fei would not give up any opportunity for revenge. He vowed to eliminate the person who used blue flames with his own hands.

  Ling Fei let out a sigh and strolled down the corridor. From time to time, he would tap his fingers against the walls and windows, looking like a neurotic.

  Han Ruoyue had just gone upstairs and turned into the corridor when she found Ling Fei walking in front of her, muttering to himself. A cold smile appeared at the corner of Han Ruoyue's mouth as she turned around and walked in the opposite direction of Ling Fei.

  PS: It's really late today, sorry everyone. Yesterday night was dragged out by friends to play, and then directly played Contra at his house... Cough cough, didn't sleep all night, went home and fell asleep on the bed.

  That's all for now, I'll make up for it later, and as usual, asking for votes... Cough cough.
