Chapter 18: Chapter 18 I'm Going to Ruin You!
```
When Dong Hui saw Su Yang, it was as if a drowning man had caught sight of a life-saving straw. He rushed over in quick strides, and from a distance, he chuckled and said, "Ah, Young Master Su, you've finally returned. I've heard about your situation, the school is in the wrong here, and I, on behalf of the school, apologize to you. This incident will be handled seriously, and I will definitely give Young Master Su a satisfactory response!"
With the Soul-searching Technique, Su Yang needed only a glance at Dong Hui to know what had happened. He couldn't help but laugh dryly to himself; he had not intended for things to escalate to this extent. However, Hou Shilin's timing was quite coincidental.
Throughout the way, Dong Hui had been ingratiating himself with Su Yang. Dong Hui was only the principal of Seventh Middle School, while Zhang Gaojian oversaw all schools in the city—how could he not be afraid? Moreover, the incident also involved the Hou Family, which was totally out of his league. With Hou Shilin and his companions in a rage, there was no ti to curry favor with them, so he had to start with Su Yang.
Back at the office of Political Education, Hou Shilin and the others were still seated. Liu Xingchao stood trembling beside them, and from start to finish, not a single word had been exchanged with him, leaving him even more uneasy.
When Hou Shilin, who had just picked up a teacup, saw Su Yang, he imdiately stood up and walked briskly over, saying enthusiastically, "Brother Su Yang, you're back."
Hou Shilin's series of actions made both Dong Hui and Liu Xingchao's hair stand on end. Even Hou Shilin was so polite to Su Yang—just how formidable was Su Yang's background? Both n thought they knew Su Yang fairly well; he didn't have any significant background—what was going on?
Su Yang nodded casually in response to Hou Shilin. However, Hou Shilin didn't feel the slightest discomfort. On the contrary, in his view, this was exactly the deanor a true master should exhibit.
Standing next to Su Yang, Hou Shilin whispered, "Brother Su Yang, we were looking for you just now. I heard there was a bit of unpleasantness at school. I also inquired about the situation, and the school's managent rules are simply outrageous. I will ensure this matter is thoroughly investigated!"
Su Yang said nothing and walked straight over to sit at the table, as if Hou Shilin standing beside him was invisible.
Zhang Gaojian was sowhat irate, his ever-increasing irritation only subdued when Hou Shilin shot him several pointed looks. However, Zhang Gaojian's gaze towards Su Yang was far from friendly.
"Principal Dong, you just ntioned that this matter needs to be handled seriously, so please go ahead and deal with it now," Su Yang said calmly.
"Uh..." Dong Hui was taken aback. His earlier words were mainly to appease Su Yang's feelings, and he hadn't thought through how to handle the situation. Now that Su Yang was asking him to deal with it on the spot, he didn't know what to do.
Coldly, Hou Shilin said, "Principal Dong, is this matter difficult to handle?"
Dong Hui swallowed hard and, gritting his teeth, said, "As Director of Political Education, Liu Xingchao did not distinguish right from wrong, and seriously violated the rules. We will relieve him of his duties and put a major derit on his record. As for Zhao Tao and the others..."
"Principal Dong, I am not satisfied with this resolution!" Su Yang interrupted him bluntly.
Dong Hui was dazed; this was precisely what he'd feared. In fact, how bad was Liu Xingchao's offense? To be relieved of his role as Director of Political Education was already a severe punishnt. But the crux of the issue was that Su Yang had Hou Shilin backing him up, and that was the most difficult aspect to manage.
"This..." Dong Hui was sweating profusely, "We will dismiss Liu Xingchao from public office, and as for Zhao Tao and his group..."
"Not enough!" Su Yang interrupted, his voice cold.
"What?" Dong Hui was utterly stunned; dismissal from public office wasn't enough?
Liu Xingchao was also stunned; in just a few words, there was both demotion and dismissal—it was complete ruin!
"Not enough?" Liu Xingchao lost his temper, shouting, "Then might as well kill !"
Looking at Liu Xingchao, Su Yang said, "Yes, I do want you dead."
"What did you say?" Liu Xingchao was furious, "Fine, I'll go all out. Co on then, kill ! I've got nothing left, am I supposed to be afraid of you? Co on, do it! Zhang Gaojian, Hou Shilin, your Hou Family is so powerful, co kill !"
Dong Hui waved his hands in quick succession, but Liu Xingchao ignored him completely. Damn it, he was about to be fired anyway, why care about what the principal thought!
Zhang Gaojian frowned, and Hou Shilin also felt sowhat embarrassed, whispering, "Brother Su Yang, this matter, it's really not that serious, there's no need..."
Su Yang turned his head and looked at Hou Shilin, causing the rest of Hou Shilin's words to imdiately choke back down his throat. Although he was a scion of the Hou Family, he still felt apprehensive when locking gazes with Su Yang.
"Young man, this is rely a small internal issue within the school, is it really necessary to make such a fuss?" Zhang Gaojian finally lost his patience, saying angrily, "You want to kill him? Do you think you're an emperor, capable of deciding life and death? Even emperors need a cri to execute soone. What has Liu Xingchao done that warrants death? Go ahead, kill him and show . I don't believe you have that much power. Just who do you think you are, so arrogant? What do your parents do? Haven't they ever taught you to spare others when possible?"
Su Yang glanced at Zhang Gaojian and a cold smirk crossed his lips. Slowly standing up, he walked over to Zhang Gaojian and suddenly slapped him across the face.
The people in the room were stunned... was this an uprising?
Hou Shilin was also taken aback. It took a mont for Zhang Gaojian to co to his senses, and he imdiately roared, "You dare to strike !"
"ntion my parents again, and I'll knock your teeth out!" Su Yang bellowed, shaking Zhang Gaojian so much that he couldn't even finish his sentence.

"Dong Hui, since you've asked
back, then I shall resolve this matter today!" Su Yang extended a hand, pointing directly at Liu Xingchao: "Liu Xingchao, I ask you, do you have anything to say about Ki Linghui's affair?"
Liu Xingchao imdiately shivered, and Wu Bin's eyeballs whirled around in panic.
"Ki Linghui, what matter?" Dong Hui asked in surprise.
"Liu Xingchao, speak for yourself!" Su Yang said coldly.
Liu Xingchao's gaze shrunk back, and he said through gritted teeth, "I have no idea what you're talking about!"
"Good!" Su Yang sneered, and said to Hou Shilin, "Young Master Hou, do
a favor, and I'll heal your father!"
Hou Shilin's visit this ti was largely for this matter, and he couldn't help but feel overjoyed upon hearing this.
"Brother Su Yang, just give your order!"
"Call the police, investigate this place," Su Yang nad a location, and added, "By the way, the body should be buried under a big banyan tree three miles south of the village."
Liu Xingchao imdiately collapsed to the ground, and Wu Bin also fell from his wheelchair, both visibly shocked.
"What exactly is going on?" Hou Shilin asked in surprise.
Su Yang said coldly, "A girl was impregnated after being violated by Wu Bin, died filled with resentnt, and Liu Xingchao suppressed the matter."
"Ah?" Hou Shilin's eyes widened, this was a major issue; it was a matter of life and death.
"It can't be?" Zhang Gaojian was also dumbfounded, saying, "If soone really died, why did no one report it to the police? Why didn't this matter co to light, it doesn't make sense?"
Su Yang said, "This girl's family only has a ntally unstable mother, there was no one to avenge her."
"So this really happened!" Hou Shilin's complexion turned very ugly, and his gaze toward Liu Xingchao beca even more furious.
"Thoroughly investigate this, get to the bottom of it!" Zhang Gaojian pointed at Liu Xingchao in anger, saying, "If this is true, I'll make sure you pay with your life!"
Liu Xingchao was completely paralyzed. The incident was true, and the location of the buried corpse Su Yang ntioned was spot-on. But, only he and Wu Bin knew about it; how could Su Yang know?
Dong Hui was sweating profusely, such a big scandal had erupted, and he as the principal also had to shoulder the responsibility.
After Hou Shilin made arrangents for everything, he turned and looked at Su Yang with the utmost respect.
Having dealt with Liu Xingchao's matter, Su Yang then looked towards Zhao Tao and the others, saying, "Principal Dong, how do you think these students should be handled?"
"Expel them!" Dong Hui stated decisively, no longer daring to test Su Yang's limits.
Su Yang nodded in satisfaction, his gaze finally landing on Tan Yan, as Dong Hui's heart also tensed up; he dared not expel Tan Yan. Now, he could only hope that Su Yang would let her off because she was a beautiful girl.
Su Yang said coldly, "I heard you threw all of my books onto the sports field?"
"That's right, it was , so what!" Tan Yan replied defiantly; after all, she was a girl and hadn't participated in the fighting. Although she feared the power of the Hou Family, she wouldn't bow to Su Yang.
"Very good!" Su Yang smiled faintly and said to Dong Hui, "Principal Dong, have her pick up my books and place them neatly back in their original spot. Rember, it has to be her who picks them up, no one else will do!"
Dong Hui was stunned; he looked at Tan Yan, who seed as furious as a provoked fighting hen, roaring, "Su Yang, you're dreaming. Don't you ever expect
to pick up your books for you, you might as well never return to school!"
"Hehe..." Su Yang let out a light laugh and did not speak, with his hands behind his back, he slowly walked out of the office for political education, completely disregarding the people behind him.
Hou Shilin hurriedly followed him, and only when they were alone did he speak respectfully, "Brother Su Yang, about my father's illness..."
"Go get a few herbs, and co to
when you've gathered them," Su Yang listed a few nas of the herbs. Normally, he would have needed to wait three days before he could remove the needles for Director Hou. However, after cultivating 'Devouring the Heavens' the previous night, it was no longer so complicated.
'Devouring the Heavens' can plunder the dicinal properties from the herbs to form an elixir, sowhat similar in essence to refining dicine. With this thod, if Su Yang could find a Cauldron, he would be able to craft even better elixirs, making treating illnesses a trivial matter.
Hou Shilin morized all the nas of the herbs, but by the ti he wanted to speak again, Su Yang had already walked away with his hands behind his back. Looking at Su Yang's receding figure, Hou Shilin hesitated as he still wanted to discuss his grandfather's issue with Su Yang; it seed he would have to wait for another ti.
