Chapter 47: Clogged Heating Pipe

  "What?! What did you say?!" Principal Li almost jumped out of his chair. The school's database had been breached, which was no small matter. The database contained not only the records of past principals, but also those of board members and even some people from the Education Bureau.

  The so-called materials are not just some personal resumes, these so-called materials are all things that cannot be exposed to the light of day. This is also a way for the first chairman of the board to restrict other directors, slowly, the restriction level starts from the director and spreads down, now, even some students' resumes are very complete.

  If these things get out, it will be a huge scandal!

  Calm down, Principal Li carefully took a look at Sun Hua's disgruntled face, smiled apologetically and lowered his voice as he walked out of the principal's office; "Mr. Devil, are you sure?" The matter was of great importance, Principal Li was anxious and unknowingly used polite language when addressing Devil.

  The little boy on the other end of the phone devil smiled disdainfully, walked to the computer, one hand holding the mobile phone, the other hand flying quickly on the keyboard, the computer screen went black, a bunch of garbled code flashed on the computer screen, slowly arranging itself into rows of incomprehensible characters.

  The devil glanced around; "It was about twenty minutes ago. The person who did it is a master, otherwise my alarm system wouldn't have delayed for so long before reacting."

  "Principal Devil, I want to know if the school's database has been lost." Principal Li was somewhat impatient, pacing back and forth in the corridor outside his office while hastily asking.

  The devil tapped the keyboard again, inputting a few commands. The characters on the screen disintegrated, scrambled and reorganized once more. The devil furrowed its brow, then relaxed it, revealing a hint of an excited smile on its tender face.

  "Lost, all lost. He actually managed to evade the identity verification I set up and copied the entire database's data. His equipment is not ordinary."

  After saying a few irresponsible words into the phone, he lightly dropped a sentence "I'll think of a way" and hung up the phone. Standing by the computer chair, his eyes gazing at the screen were filled with a smile, his heart was itching to move; "It's been a long time since I've been so excited, hopefully this guy is an expert."

  The devil turned around and walked to the bedside, fell down, and the soft bed supported his body. Drowsiness came over him, and he fell fast asleep. Looking at his tender and delicate little face, who could have guessed that he was the mastermind hacker controlling all the data of Class 8?

  ……

  Ling Fei held the U-disk, looking at the thing in his hand that could give him an answer. His heart was filled with conflicting emotions. He said he didn't want to find out who the murderer was, but that was a lie. Perhaps after careful consideration, he felt that investigating now would not be beneficial for either himself or Fang Zhan Yan. Although he wasn't afraid of being blamed by Principal Bai, he couldn't drag Fang Zhan Yan down and ruin a student's future.

  He let out a sigh, put the U-disk back in his pocket, walked to the window at the end of the corridor, opened it, and a gentle breeze blew in through the window, blowing across the empty corridor with a low hum.

  Looking down from the high-rise building of Lingfei, I calmed down on the morning exercise field.

  "What I need to think about now is the matter at hand, not those old grudges." Ling Fei muttered softly to himself, stretched his limbs and turned towards the staircase on the other side of the corridor.

  Just as he reached the stairs, a figure suddenly rushed over and Ling Fei hastily grabbed his shoulders; "Classmate, slow down, don't you know that you have to walk slowly in the corridor?"

  That student raised his head, and Ling Fei felt a little familiar, but couldn't quite put his finger on where he had seen him before.

  "Classmate, have we met before?" Ling Fei wasn't sure, so he asked aloud.

  The boy was suddenly stopped by Ling Fei while running at full speed, and his body's inertia hadn't dissipated yet. He felt a sharp pain in both shoulders, gritted his teeth, and heard Ling Fei's words. The boy lifted his head, saw that it was Ling Fei, and a hint of joy flashed across his eyes.

  "Teacher, is it you?" The boy was somewhat surprised, and Ling Fei was left bewildered.

  "Who are you?" Ling Fei looked somewhat embarrassed as he couldn't recognize the boy and asked again.

  "I'm Liu Yang, you know, the one from last time when you came to our class and even spoke up for me." Only then did Ling Fei recall that not long ago he had gone to Class 2 to observe a lesson, where he was wrongly accused by a young boy.

  A faint smile; "It's you, what's wrong? Why are you running so fast." Ling Fei asked softly again, turning the topic back.

  "Nothing much, I'm going to watch a basketball game with my classmates. The competition has just started in our class." Liu Yang saw that it was Ling Fei and wasn't so anxious anymore, standing at the staircase entrance chatting with Ling Fei.

  Ling Fei nodded slightly, having heard Yang Yu'an say that their class was the only one participating in the competition today. After a moment of thought, he asked, "Can teachers go together?" He even added a gentle smile, which really had a bit of the demeanor of a refined and dignified teacher.

  "Alright, then you wait here for a moment, teacher. I'll go find some classmates." Liu Yang nodded and seemed to think that time was limited, so he hastily said goodbye to Ling Fei and quickly turned to leave towards the corridor.

  "Slow down, be careful!" Ling Fei shouted a useless phrase after which he leaned against the handrail of the stairs, pinching his chin, lost in thought.

  In an instant, Liu Yang brought two boys, one tall and one fat, running from the corridor. Liu Yang said to the two behind him: "This is the teacher of Class 3."

  Ling Fei saw Liu Yang return, lifted his head and smiled warmly; "Hello, my surname is Ling, name is Ling Fei, you can just call me Teacher Ling."

  Who would have thought that the two boys didn't give Ling Fei any face at all? The tall one turned his head, using his peripheral vision to look at Ling Fei with disdain, and the more he looked, the more jealous he became. "You're actually Mr. Mu Rong's boyfriend?"

  "Isn't this over yet?" Ling Fei muttered to himself after hearing it, and smiled in response; "Yeah, that's me."

  "What qualifications do you have to be with Mu Rong teacher? You look like a pretty boy, I don't know what Mu Rong teacher sees in you." The tall one was being sarcastic and mean, as if he wanted to duel with Ling Fei.

  Ling Fei rubbed his temples, which were aching from the conversation; "I'm telling you, classmates, I really don't understand what's going on in your minds. Can't teachers fall in love with each other? What's it to you if Teacher Murong has taken a liking to me? If she likes me, that means there's something attractive about me, or else why wouldn't she like you instead? Jealousy is one thing, but this kind of jealousy that borders on perversion, nitpicking like trying to find bones in an egg, really leaves me baffled."

  Ling Fei didn't have the slightest awareness that he should yield when necessary, and was unwilling to lose face. His confrontation with this tall man also had a hint of stubbornness.

  "What the f**k, you're still pulling this s**t? I told you you're not worthy of Mu Rong teacher. If you've got guts, come at me!" The tall one's face turned red with embarrassment, feeling wronged but refusing to back down, he rolled up his sleeves and took a step forward.

  Taking a glance at the tall and detestable face, Ling Fei spread his hands out and shook his head with a bitter smile; "Kids will be kids, can't reason with them."

  Ling Fei rarely didn't swear, but he also had a bit of a playful tone.

  "Come on, say that again?" The tall guy was thoroughly enraged by Ling Fei's attitude, ignoring Liu Yang's attempts to stop him, and stormed over to Ling Fei with a fierce momentum. Since Ling Fei was standing at the top of the stairs, he had a few inches on the tall guy, who was forced to look up at him with his head lowered, looking extremely arrogant.

  "What I hate the most is when others threaten me, you little rabbit, don't you know how fierce I am if I haven't beaten you up yet?" Ling Fei raised an eyebrow and lifted his eyes, saying in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

  "You son of a bitch, you've gone too far." The tall guy heard this and flew into a rage, raising his fist to punch Ling Fei.

  "Damn it, damn it, damn it, all you do is curse back and forth, can you not behave like a child?" Ling Fei suddenly flipped his hand over, opened the man's fist, grasped his collar, and with a slight exertion of strength, lifted him up.

  After walking up the stairs, he glanced at Liu Yang and the little fatty standing at the corridor entrance, shook his head slightly; "Nowadays students are too lacking in discipline, they dare to beat teachers at will, if I don't teach him a lesson, where is the authority of the teacher? Where is the school's rules and regulations? Which way should I put my face?" After finishing speaking, Ling Fei casually flung his hand, pinning the tall boy against the wall, causing him to let out a muffled grunt.

  "Do you know what's wrong?" Ling Fei asked, one hand holding him up and the other rubbing his nose.

  "Damn your mom..." The tall one wasn't a coward either, gritting his teeth and cursing. Before he could finish, Ling Fei took a step back and then suddenly pressed forward, causing the tall one's back to make intimate contact with the wall once again, producing a muffled thud. The fat guy and Liu Yang felt their hearts skip a beat, neither of them daring to speak up for mercy.

  "I'm asking you again, do you know your mistake? If you spout nonsense again, I'll stuff you into the heating pipe!" Ling Fei pointed to the heating pipes on the corridor wall and said viciously.
