Chapter 576 ~ Definitely Doomed ~
in 246 were empty. Everyone entered the rooms at will, eating snacks and resting.Everything seemed peaceful on the surface, but in reality there was a lot going on beneath the surface. Zhao Hongyu and...Chapter 576: It's Over for Him ~~~~
Hao Ren didn't expect Hao Zhonghua to be here. His expression stiffened.
Seeing Hao Ren in the center of the crowd at the first-floor cafeteria, Hao Zhonghua paused his steps and followed Lu Qing into the dining hall.
Lu Qing's face was stern as he slowly walked over.
The students in the cafeteria immediately made way for him to pass unimpeded.
Anyone familiar with the school knew that this white-bearded old man was Vice President Lu of Donghai University, who handled important matters due to the president's frequent attendance at various events. He was thus considered the most powerful vice president in the university.
Hao Zhonghua followed closely behind, standing two steps back from Lu Qing.
This time he had come to Donghai University to discuss a talent cultivation plan. Due to a tight schedule and his desire not to waste resources, he insisted on having meals in the school cafeteria, which meant that the university leadership also ate with him there. Little did they know that as their conversation was going smoothly, loud noises came from downstairs.
Lu Qing went down to see what was happening, and Hao Zhonghua followed along.
"What's going on" Lu Qing asked coldly upon reaching the center of the crowd, looking around at the students.
No one dared to answer. They had no idea that Vice President Lu Qing would be dining upstairs.
Zhao Jiayin supported himself with his hands and struggled to stand up, wiping a drop of blood from his nose but remaining silent.
Hao Ren saw Hao Zhonghua's gaze fixed on him. He dropped the wrist of the soccer captain he was holding and tried to appear calm, though he felt panicked inside.
Even more anxious than Hao Ren was the dean of the School of Mechatronics Engineering. Because the school’s experimental building had been built with significant support from Hao Zhonghua, and because he was also the dean of Hao Ren's college, he accompanied Hao Zhonghua this time.
How could he have foreseen that Hao Zhonghua would come to Donghai University for a project discussion only to witness Hao Ren fighting with classmates in the cafeteria!
Just minutes ago, he had been praising Hao Ren's harmonious relationships with schoolmates and his excellent grades and moral character.
Now he secretly glanced at Hao Zhonghua’s gloomy face, silently thinking: It's all over…
"Academician Hao, what do you think about this" Lu Qing turned slightly to ask Hao Zhonghua behind him.
"Haha, this is your school's matter. How it should be handled is up to you; I won't offer my opinion," Hao Zhonghua gave two forced laughs, his voice sounding very heavy.
Hao Ren looked at Hao Zhonghua and knew that he wouldn't escape punishment when he returned home this weekend.
Xie Yujia worriedly looked at Hao Ren and wanted to explain things for Hao Zhonghua, but since Hao Zhonghua had not revealed his identity yet, she didn’t dare beg for mercy on the spot.
"Who is this person…"
Seeing Lu Qing about to consult with that middle-aged man behind him, some students couldn’t help asking their classmates in a low voice.
"You don't even know who he is The Chief Scientist of China's scientific community, Hao Zhonghua! His rank is several levels higher than our principal!"
"This Hao Ren is doomed. He ran into the wrong person; even the vice-principal can’t protect him."
"That’s for sure. Who is Hao Zhonghua The principal was humiliated this time, so he will definitely impose strict punishment!"
Variety of comments spread quietly.
The captain of the soccer team didn't know who the middle-aged man behind the principal was; when he saw Hao Ren letting go of his wrist, he thought that Hao Ren had been intimidated and glared at him viciously.
By now, he felt refreshed from the adrenaline rush and realized how astonishingly strong Hao Ren's arm strength was. However, he wasn’t worried anymore because as a soccer team captain, any punishment would be just superficial since the school needed a soccer team to compete with other schools.
This kid was in for it now! The students who were lying on the ground from getting beaten were all members of the soccer team and hadn't gotten up yet!
And when the principal appeared, Hao Ren just punched him in his abdomen as he held onto his wrist!
"Principal, he attacked us from our soccer team, saying we had bad grades. He even poured soup on my clothes," the captain of the soccer team said immediately.
“Is that so” Lu Qing’s expression and tone remained cold as he glanced around.
The captain of the soccer team followed his gaze but didn’t believe anyone would dare speak up at this time. Was it okay for them to provoke the soccer team, a group they couldn't afford to offend
“No, that’s not true. He hit Hao Ge!”
"Yes, they all attacked him together!"
"We saw it too; it was the soccer team who started it and initiated violence."
Suddenly, over ten students came forward to speak up.
The captain of the soccer team was stunned. He didn’t expect anyone would dare challenge them. What he didn't know was that these people were all members of Hao Ren’s Calligraphy Society. Of course, they had to support Hao Ren at this moment!
"Principal, he started it!" The captain of the soccer team, who was often involved in fights outside, quickly argued to confuse the issue.
The struggling members of the soccer team, as they were getting up from the ground, also staggered and shouted, "Principal, he hit us first! I have a broken bone! I need to go to the hospital for an examination!"
Their expressions of pain did not seem fake; some of them indeed had fractures. In their minds, as members of the school team, they were supposed to participate in various football matches on behalf of Donghai University, and even if they didn’t achieve anything, they still deserved recognition for their hard work. Now that Hao Ren had broken their bones, it would have a bad impact, at least leading to probation or compensation for medical expenses.
The two sides were almost starting an argument, which left the vice president Lu Qing and other school leaders behind him, especially the dean of the Machinery & Automation College, dumbfounded — Hao Ren actually had such influence in the school!
Hao Ren's father was Hao Zhonghua, which could only make them teachers respect him with awe; however, these students were all elites from their respective colleges and fought to speak up for Hao Ren.
Hao Zhonghua slightly furrowed his brows — he hadn’t expected that Hao Ren’s fights in the school not only caused trouble but also made him a local bully who formed factions!
"Enough!" Lu Qing raised his hand.
The arguments on both sides immediately subsided.
"Details of the punishment will be posted this afternoon. Currently," Lu Qing looked at these bruised soccer team members, "the soccer team is disbanded! All members who participated in the fight will receive probationary status for one year! If their behavior is poor within half a year, they will be expelled from school!"
His gaze was sharp as lightning. "I’ll talk to your coach about this."
The temporary measures decided by Lu Qing stunned the students; they couldn’t believe that his punishment only targeted the soccer team members and spared Hao Ren!
Naturally, there was no way to rule out further punishments for Hao Ren later on. But based on the already announced decisions, all these soccer team members were doomed!
Without their status as the school’s soccer team, they were nothing! As the acting vice president in charge of managing the school teams and clubs, Lu Qing had full authority to disband the football club.
"P-principal, he injured us, we need compensation for our medical fees…" Seeing that Lu Qing was about to leave, a few soccer team members rushed after him to ask.
Lu Qing turned around coldly and looked at them icily. "Isn’t this all because the cafeteria floor is slippery You got hurt yourselves."
The soccer team members were all stunned.
"Whoosh..." The other students sucked in a sharp breath. Lu Qing’s attitude was clearly biased toward Hao Ren!
But he was Donghai University's first vice president; what could anyone say against him Besides, punishing these ruffian-like soccer team members was truly satisfying.
Lu Qing turned to look at the school leader in charge of campus safety beside him and said sternly, "Tell the cafeteria staff to clean the floor thoroughly so that students don’t slip anymore!"
"Yes, yes..." The school leader wiped the sweat off his forehead and nodded hurriedly.
The students watched as Hao Ren led a dozen school leaders back up to the second floor, collectively falling into a state of shock.
Hao Ren beat those arrogant football team members until they had broken bones—it was their own fault for tripping and hurting themselves! Vice President Lu Qing is very powerful!
When they looked at Hao Ren again, their eyes held different meanings. The true prince of Donghai University isn't Huang Xujie; it's Hao Ren!
If he can even date the school principal’s twin granddaughters, what else can’t he do
"Are you okay" Hao Ren turned to look at Zhao Jiayin and asked, "Do you want me to take you to the infirmary"
"Just some scratches!" Zhao Jiayin clenched his teeth.
There were cracks on the corners of his mouth and eyes, blood was flowing from his nose, and there were several red scars where he had been scratched by tables and chairs during the fight.
However, compared to him, the football team captain who had fought with him looked even worse—his eyes swollen, nose crooked, and clothes torn. He was in a much more miserable state than Zhao Jiayin.
But when Hao Zhonghua saw Hao Ren, he only witnessed Hao Ren beating up the football team captain, so he thought that Hao Ren had caused all of this mess.
"You cowardly football players! Are you trying to die" Suddenly, a dozen members of the basketball team rushed in from the dining hall entrance. Hearing about Zhao Jiayin being beaten by the football team, they immediately ran over from the nearby teaching building.
The already defeated football team members turned even paler upon seeing the basketball players arrive.
"It's okay! Let’s just forget it!" Zhao Jiayin shouted.
Several school leaders were still dining on the second floor, and he didn’t want another commotion to break out.
The basketball team members who rushed in, seeing the miserable state of the football players, were startled. Then when they saw Hao Ren by Zhao Jiayin’s side looking neat and tidy while Zhao Jiayin had some injuries on his body, they exclaimed with joy, "Big brother is still so awesome! He beat them all down alone!"
In their minds, only Xie Wanjun could display such fighting prowess, but they never expected Zhao Jiayin to be able to take on ten people by himself!
Zhao Jiayin sighed helplessly and looked at Hao Ren beside him with a melancholy expression. He suddenly felt that Ah Ren was incredibly formidable… When he thought about the imposing Hao Zhonghua, it just seemed like... Hao Ren was somewhat similar to him...
"Ah Ren, you can rest assured; if there’s any trouble, I’ll take responsibility!" Zhao Jiayin patted Hao Ren on the shoulder and then tapped his own chest as he said.
Hao Zhonghua is a world-renowned great scientist, while Hao Ren is an ordinary student at Donghai University; they should not be related!
Lu Qing didn’t punish Hao Ren in person because of respect for his granddaughters’ feelings, but if Hao Ren caused such a commotion before the super VIP Hao Zhonghua of the school, damaging the image of Donghai University, the school would definitely take action against Hao Ren!er three dragon palaces suffered relatively minor losses."Sir Hao is invincible…" When he saw Hao Ren return, Chancellor Xia immediately moved to him."Alright, no need for flattery," Hao Ren waved his...
