607: Chapter 30 I Just Like This Kind of Confidence in You 607: Chapter 30 I Just Like This Kind of Confidence in You Wang Yunxiao got up for breakfast in the cafeteria when Youtiao sneaked up to him and whispered, “Big Brother, have you heard?
The Emperor was assassinated!”
Sitting silently next to him and drinking soy milk, Li Mumu suddenly spat out her drink and began coughing violently, covering her mouth.
Wang Yunxiao was utterly confused.
Have I ti-traveled again?
What’s going on this ti?
he thought.
“The Emperor?
Which Emperor?” he asked.
“The one who abdicated from the Forr Dynasty!” ca the reply.
To be fair, it had been less than two years since the event, so it was common for people to still refer to the new governnt as the Imperial Court and the police station as the Yan.
“When did this happen?” he inquired.
“Last night.”
“And how did you find out about it so quickly?”
“The security uncle at the gate said that around four or five o’clock in the morning, soone ca to visit Principal Zhou by car…”
Four or five o’clock…
At that ti, Wang Yunxiao had been exercising behind the building and hadn’t paid much attention to the activity at the school entrance.
It wasn’t a big deal, not like the President being assassinated…
But then again, it wasn’t trivial either, as the history books were full of such fresh examples.
The sudden news of the Emperor being attacked would have undoubtedly kept many loyalists from the Forr Dynasty awake last night.
After giving it so thought, Wang Yunxiao figured that the incident had nothing to do with him.
I’m not a remnant of the Forr Dynasty, why should I worry on their behalf?
he mused.
Li Mumu hesitated beside him, seemingly holding back sothing she wanted to say.
She had an ominous feeling that, sohow, she’d stirred up trouble again.
I didn’t do anything, she thought.
All I did was go out for a spin with Eldest Miss Shen.
Could I possibly be so sort of natural disaster magnet?
She decided she would have to consult soone about her karma when she got the chance.
……
When called to the Principal’s office, Tang Ping’an was extrely nervous, suspecting his secretive planning for the school’s underground network had been discovered.
Of course, he wouldn’t be surprised if the Great Commander knew every little thing happening within the school.
But there was no help for it; being without the internet was torturous.
“Tang Ping’an, the Chinese na you’ve chosen for yourself is quite good,” Principal Zhou said, setting aside the docunts in his hand and asking in a calm voice, “I hear you and your sister have been eager to go ho these past few days?
Are you struggling to adapt to the harsh life here, or did you leave so necessities at ho?”
It was both, but he couldn’t say that.
“If you indeed have a need, you can call your family to have them send over whatever you require,” the Principal offered.
Clenching his teeth, Tang Ping’an replied, “Thank you for your concern, Mister Principal.
Friday is only two days away, and we are not so delicate.”
“It’s okay, no need to be so tense.
You are here to study and learn; you should focus your main energy on that.
If you have any problems in life, as long as I can help you solve them, I will try my best.”
Principal Zhou’s face revealed a kind and llow smile.
The principal is a good person, Tang Ping’an sighed to himself.
However, since things had co to this point, there was no need for him to keep denying it, so he got straight to the point and said, “Principal Sir, although we have received the textbooks, it’s still very hard to make progress without a teacher’s guidance.”
“Don’t your Spirit Clan have the technology of ‘网道,’ which can make learning more efficient?”
Tang Ping’an’s pupils suddenly contracted, and he said in surprise, “Principal Sir, how do you know about…
‘网道’?”
“The technology of ‘网道’ is not exclusive to the Tesla Family.
Have you heard of Alexander Androlov?
He invented the telephone and a series of later advanced communication technologies, which includes the initial theorization of ‘网道’ technology.
During my ti studying abroad in the Federation, I studied for a while under Professor Androlov with your father, that is, Sir Greycus Tesla.”
Tang Ping’an said in surprise, “I have never heard my father ntion this history.”
“That’s quite normal, after all, the experience of advanced studies at Mistoka University is not a bedti fairy tale that can just be told to children.”
Principal Zhou smiled and said, “I happen to have a matter that needs dealing with.
If you and your sister have the ti, you could run an errand for , and take the opportunity to visit ho.
I wonder if you might be interested?”
Is there such a good thing?
Tang Ping’an imdiately nodded and said, “No problem at all, may I know what it is that you need us to do, Principal Sir?”
Principal Zhou handed a student file from his desk to him, and said seriously, “It’s not a big deal really; it’s just that one student who completed the enrollnt process hasn’t reported to the school within the designated ti.
I want you to visit her on behalf of the school to find out what exactly is going on.”
Tang Ping’an nodded and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
I thought you were going to ask to do sothing else… But it makes sense; this is a proper school, not so kind of hellish den.
Other than student matters, what serious business could there be?
He took the student file and glanced over it briefly, noticing the round-faced little girl in the photograph, as well as her na: “Wei Anyu”.
Principal Zhou patiently waited for him to finish reading the student’s file, then added in an unhurried manner, “I believe you are aware that it is very difficult for girls to go to school these days.
In general, in cases like this, it’s mostly due to family reasons.
You might encounter so tricky situations…”
“Rest assured, I will not resort to violence,” Tang Ping’an confidently assured.
If he couldn’t handle even this small matter, what face would he have to call himself a descendant of the noble Tesla Family?
“No, what I an is that her family situation is complicated, and it’s not appropriate for the school to intervene directly.
It would be best to keep the matter within the level of communication between students.”
Principal Zhou reminded him, “I will grant you a temporary student council officer status.
If you run into any issues, you can also seek help from the student council.
Seniors will offer you advice, and what you see as a troubleso issue might not be a big deal to others.
Through this matter, I also hope that you can engage in deeper interactions with other students and make more friends…”
“There’s absolutely no need for that!”
Tang Ping’an smiled and declined Principal Zhou’s good intentions, “I believe you and my father are indeed old friends.
However, you might be misunderstanding the strength and depth of the Tesla Family.
As soon as we leave the school and restore our ‘网道’ connection, my sister and I can demonstrate our true abilities.
Solving such a trivial issue, we don’t need to rely on any external assistance!”
“Is that so?”
Principal Zhou’s face showed a gratified smile, “Tang Ping’an student, I very much appreciate your confidence.
Since that is the case, then I will wait here for your good news.”
