When a person is in a high-ranking position, their words carry the law.

Chapter 26 I am a genius
After a long while, Zhong Jing broke the silence by speaking.

"The doctor said you'll probably wake up this afternoon, that's why I'm here. There will probably be other people coming to ask you questions later, so be prepared and try to fool them," Zhong Jing instructed.

"How do you fool them?" Bai Ze asked, blinking his eyes.

"You can fool me however you want."

Zhong Jing said calmly, "Wu Jincheng and Zhang Jueming have been confirmed as cult members, but for many people, that's a minor matter. You, a one-star martial artist who has just awakened your inner energy, took on three opponents and defeated two one-stars and one two-star. That's the real deal."

"They will use the pretext of questioning you about the case to try and find out your backing and your secrets. If you don't want to be coveted in the future, just brush these questions off. I've found you a decent backer. As long as you don't get caught up in any trouble, this matter will be considered closed on the surface."

"Not bad?" Bai Ze asked. "How good? And this backer probably didn't come for free, so what's the price?"

At this point, Bai Ze couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

After such an incident, it's impossible to develop quietly anymore; we have to show our talents early.

Taking this step will inevitably bring a lot of trouble in the future.

"The price is getting into Yujing Martial Arts University."

The door to the ward was suddenly pushed open, and a breeze that seemed to come from nowhere highlighted a solitary figure.

He was an elderly man with gray hair, dressed in a formal suit. He walked into the ward with his hands behind his back, and an invisible breeze surrounded him, revealing his air of great wisdom.

"Principal, you've arrived." Zhong Jing said, then sighed for some reason.

"I am Lu Mingzhou, the principal of the Third High School."

The old man ignored Zhong Jing and went to the bedside, looking intently at Bai Ze. "Child, as long as you can get into Yujing Martial Arts University and bring honor to our school, I will take care of this small matter for you."

The old man spoke in a very ancient style, but the meaning behind his words was somewhat enigmatic and impressive.

"To put it simply," Zhong Jing translated from the side, "the old principal has taught students for decades, but he has never produced a single student who could be admitted to Yujing Martial Arts University. As a result, he can't hold his head up in front of his old friends. As long as you can get into Yujing Martial Arts University and let him show off, you will reap great benefits."

Then, Zhong Jing explained, "Our former principal at No. 3 Middle School was the one who cherished talent the most, and the decision to allocate educational resources to the school was made by him. If I hadn't received the school's resources back then, I might not be where I am today."

"And then you got into some lousy school to repay me," the old principal said with a sidelong glance at Zhong Jing.

“Jiangnan Martial Arts University is one of the top ten martial arts universities in Dongxia…” Zhong Jing said with a wry smile.

“Any martial arts university other than Yujing Martial Arts University is a diploma mill,” the old principal interrupted.

"Principal, you graduated from Yanjing Martial Arts University, not Yujing Martial Arts University."

"So I'm also a graduate of a diploma mill."

Zhong Jing was speechless.

When the old principal gets ruthless, he even criticizes himself, so what can the other person say in response?

"How is it?" The old principal looked at Bai Ze and asked directly.

It sounds like there's no harm in it.

At least for now, the potential downsides haven't surfaced.

Then let's leave it to our future selves.

Even if any negative consequences arise in the future, your future self will be able to handle them.

“The students will do their best,” Bai Ze replied.

"Hahaha, okay."

The old headmaster was straightforward. After hearing Bai Ze's answer, he laughed a few times, then turned around and called out, "Come in, it's your turn."

A middle-aged man in a sharp suit walked into the ward, accompanied by a young man in a security guard uniform. "Excuse me, old principal."

The middle-aged man smiled and nodded at the old principal, showing no sign of anger. He then greeted Bai Ze, saying, "Hello, Bai Ze. I am Qi Fangwei, the deputy director of the Canghai City Public Security Bureau. I am here today to inquire about the cause of death of former security guards Wu Jincheng and Zhang Jueming. You can also call me senior, Bai Ze. I also graduated from No. 3 Middle School."

Even the family dog ​​is on the police dog roster under Director Qi?

Bai Ze looked at the middle-aged man with a square face and an upright demeanor. 'He's actually alright?'

Even the family dog ​​gets a government job, which shows how outrageous Director Qi's actions are and how greedy he must be. Bai Ze can hardly imagine it.

Even if their connection with the Sacred Heart Cult has been cleared, given the things that have been uncovered, they shouldn't be completely unscathed.

He was even able to participate in the case without needing to avoid suspicion.

Principal Lu Mingzhou seemed to see Bai Ze's confusion, but also seemed to be simply explaining the situation to Bai Ze, saying, "Your senior Qi has a good father-in-law, so even though he committed the crime of abusing public power by using police dogs to protect his own house, he still got away scot-free. He has a very powerful background. But he is still your senior, so say whatever you want without being a stranger."

Bai Ze: "..."

Goodness, it can even be flipped over.

The whole thing of getting his own dog officially registered has turned into having a police dog protect his home. Bai Ze has to admit he's impressed.

Since we're only talking about the misuse of public resources, then everything else is essentially irrelevant.

Wu Jincheng went to great lengths, but in the end, all he got was a demerit from our Director Qi.

As Bai Ze pondered this, he glanced at Zhong Jing.

Zhong Jing winked at him and nodded slightly.

This suggests that former Principal Lu Mingzhou can still be trusted.

After receiving a reply, Bai Ze turned to Deputy Director Qi and said, "Please ask."

"it is good."

The young man who came with Deputy Director Qi set up a camera, pointed it at Bai Ze, and then took out a laptop from his bag to record.

Deputy Director Qi, with a smile, sat down by the hospital bed and began to ask questions.

"Although the nearby surveillance cameras were destroyed and the footage is unavailable, judging from the traces at the scene, the young student should have first subdued Luo Tao, who is at the one-star level, then defeated Zhang Jueming, a former security guard at the one-star level, and then faced off against Wu Jincheng, who is at the two-star level, and killed him, right?"

"The order is correct, but I only beat Wu Jincheng because I took his sidearm; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to win," Bai Ze replied honestly.

"Oh?" Deputy Director Qi's smile deepened. "According to the investigation, Bai activated his internal energy on Friday, registered as a martial artist on Saturday, and then on Sunday, you defeated two one-star martial artists and even took the sidearm of a two-star martial artist?"

“That’s right,” Bai Ze answered honestly as always.

"Isn't this a bit unbelievable? You even redeemed your martial arts techniques on Sunday, while both Zhang Jueming and Wu Jincheng are veteran security guards."

Deputy Director Qi acted like a kind elder, asking questions step by step.

"Is it weird?"

Bai Ze thought for a moment and then suddenly realized, "That's probably because I have superhuman strength... no, it's because I'm a genius."

"What?" Deputy Director Qi's smile froze.

“I’m a genius,” Bai Ze said matter-of-factly. “So what Senior Qi is talking about is something anyone can do.”
