Before they could speak, Zhang Tai cursed loudly first.
“You sick or something, blocking my way!”
“Exactly, get out of the way already.
My son has an exam today, and if he’s late because of you, can you afford that responsibility?”
Zhou Qing also accused them arrogantly.
“I am Laoke, the First Guard Captain of the Lower City District police station.
You are Zhang Tai, right?”
Laoke, not angry at all, looked at Zhang Tai with ill intent.
“I am Zhang Tai, what do you want?”
Zhang Tai was as arrogant as ever, not taking Laoke seriously at all.
In his eyes, a mere guard captain from the Lower City District was nothing; after all, he didn’t consider anyone from that area human.
“Good, you know this person, right?”
Laoke picked up a photo of Wang Qiang and asked sinisterly.
“I don’t know him!”
By then, Zhang Tai realized these people were after him.
“His name is Wang Qiang, recently suspected of murder, and he has identified you as the mastermind behind it.
Now, under the old Federation law, I am arresting you!”
As soon as Laoke finished speaking, he waved his hand, and several subordinates went forward and roughly seized Zhang Tai.
Immediately, Zhang Tai struggled fiercely and bellowed.
“Let go of me!
Or you’re all dead!”
Many pedestrians on the surrounding streets gathered to watch the scene.
“What’s going on?”
“I don’t know, seems like the guards are making an arrest.”
“The one being arrested looks like a student.”
…
Seeing his son getting arrested, Zhou Qing exploded in rage and cursed wildly.
“Let go of my son!
Do you know who my husband is?
Believe it or not, one call from me will get all of you kicked out!”
“Who your husband is doesn’t concern us.
We are just handling this normally, so please do not interfere or we’ll have to arrest you too!”
Laoke spoke to Zhou Qing with fierce intensity.
“You….”
Zhou Qing was so angered he couldn’t speak, just pointing incessantly at Laoke.
“Take him away!”
Laoke immediately issued the order.
Several guards then dragged Zhang Tai towards the guard van.
Zhang Tai continued to struggle violently, shouting continuously.
“Mother, call someone!”
Zhou Qing immediately pulled out a phone from her pocket, only for Laoke to slap it away, sending it flying.
The phone flew out, landing on the ground shattered.
Zhou Qing stared at her thrown phone, completely stunned.
“Sorry, I thought you were reaching for a gun.
As for the damaged phone, you can claim compensation later at the guard’s office.
Goodbye!”
After saying that, Laoke turned and left.
Laoke certainly knew who Zhang Tai’s father was; under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t want to provoke him, but the Su Family was not to be trifled with either.
The really important point, of course, was that he was acting impartially and legally.
What could they do to him?
At worst, they’d just release him after a few hours.
Watching her son being taken away, Zhou Qing panicked, rushing up to the driver and shouting.
“What are you waiting for?
Make the call.”
…
—————-
Thirteenth District Mient Intermediate School Gate.
A crowd of students and parents gathered here, and since everyone arrived early, the time hadn’t come yet, so the exam hall doors were not open.
At the entrance, guards holding loaded guns stood watch.
During the city exam period, school order was maintained jointly by the Thirteenth District guards and teachers.
In an open space outside the gate, Su Yuan and Zhao Ning were anxiously circling Su Ming, with Su Yuan in particular pacing back and forth.
“Can you stand still?
You’re making my head spin with all that walking.”
Zhao Ning complained to Su Yuan.
“Ah, I’m just nervous.
Listen son, you have to do your best.
Just score 150 points, and you’ll bring glory to our ancestors!”
Su Yuan stopped pacing and encouraged Su Ming.
Hearing Su Yuan’s words, Su Ming’s lips twitched slightly.
Before Su Ming could respond, Zhao Ning raised his hand and landed a punch on Su Yuan’s head, scolding irritably.
“150 points?
You couldn’t even score that yourself.
Why put the pressure on your son?”
“I just want to get my son into a better school.”
Su Yuan said, looking rather wronged.
“Son, don’t listen to your dad’s nonsense.
All you need is 120 points.
Then we can graduate peacefully and live a good, stable life.”
Zhao Ning gently told Su Ming.
Su Ming silently sighed.
Just how little faith did they have in him?
But he didn’t say anything and just spoke.
“I’ll do my best.”
“Son, this isn’t a joke.
You really need to give it your all!”
Su Yuan said anxiously, holding Su Ming’s hand.
“Alright, I’ll do my best.”
Su Ming replied with a bitter smile.
…
On the other side, Li Fubai, Lin Chuyu, and others were standing together while teacher Chen Yi was giving them their final instructions.
“When you’re taking the exam, don’t panic.
Tackle the questions you know first, then come back to the blanks.
Don’t get stuck on any single problem!”
“Understood!”
Li Fubai said calmly.
“By the way, where is Zhang Tai?
I remember he was also drawn to our school.
Haven’t you seen him?”
Chen Yi asked.
“Teacher, let’s not worry about him.
That guy does his own thing; it’s nothing strange.”
Li Fubai said nonchalantly.
“Alright then, let him be.
I’ve already instructed you guys regularly on the rest.
Just give it your best!”
Chen Yi didn’t dwell on it much.
“Alright.”
Lin Chuyu replied softly.
Chen Yi then turned and left.
At that moment, Li Fubai handed a bottle of mineral water to Lin Chuyu.
“Chuyu, have some water.”
“No thanks, I brought my own water bottle.”
Lin Chuyu shook her head and refused.
Just as Li Fubai was about to say something, a male student wearing a Mint uniform with black spots on his face and looking panicked, approached him.
“Li Fubai.”
“Wu Bo, what’s up?”
Li Fubai asked, furrowing his brows as he looked at the boy.
Wu Bo looked hesitant before speaking to Li Fubai.
“Zhang Tai is in trouble.”
“What happened?”
Li Fubai suddenly felt a heavy heart and asked.
“I don’t know, he was taken away by a guard on his way to the exam.”
Wu Bo whispered.
Hearing this, Li Fubai felt even gloomier, a bad premonition lingering around him.
However, he quickly adjusted his attitude and responded indifferently.
“I see.”
…
Time gradually passed, and it was soon 7:20 AM.
At that moment, the school gate guard opened the gates and started the security check.
“It’s starting, you can go in now.”
…
Anxious students shouted one after another.
Seeing the school gate open, Su Ming said to Su Yuan and Zhao Ning,
“The examination hall is open, I’m going to line up!”
“Son, you must do your best, we’ll be waiting outside for you!”
Su Yuan and Zhao Ning said anxiously.
“Okay.”
Seeing Su Yuan and Zhao Ning so worried about him, Su Ming also showed a slight smile in response.
Then, he headed toward the entrance.
