People at the practical education center only want to drop out.

He recalled Bai Lan's tone of voice and carefully observed her expression; it didn't seem like she was acting at all.

But Nagumo didn't believe it!

Although Nan Yun had no evidence, he was convinced that Bai Lan was definitely faking it!

Nan Yun didn't believe that Bai Lan would really care about him.

Moreover, in Nan Yun's view, his hand injury did not happen in the last few days.

He injured his hand on June 2nd, after the arbitration hearing, when he accidentally slipped and fell down the stairs. Today is June 10th, more than a week has passed!

Moreover, the fact that his hand was in a cast and wrapped in bandages was so conspicuous that it was impossible to hide it.

However, Bai Lan acted as if she had just found out about this.

This is very wrong!

Nan Yun couldn't believe that Bai Lan's intelligence would be so slow!

It's important to understand that the reason he ended up framing Karuizawa but instead being swindled out of 50 million yen by Bai Lan, and the reason Bai Lan was able to beat up Nagumo and the other six people in various parts of the school in just two minutes, was all thanks to intelligence support.

All of this demonstrates Bai Lan's formidable intelligence capabilities within this school!

"How could Bai Lan, with such powerful intelligence capabilities, only find out about my hand injury now?"

With this in mind, Nagumo concluded that there was definitely a conspiracy involved!

But the question is, why exactly do we have to put on this show?

Based on Nan Yun's understanding of Bai Lan, he believed that Bai Lan would not do anything meaningless. He always did things with a purpose, and he was also someone who demanded a certain rate of return. Without the highest possible return, Bai Lan would not act easily!

Nagumo pondered for a moment...

Soon, Nagumo discovered a key point!

Got it!

Nan Yun recalled what Bai Lan had just said.

Who injured your hand?

If I remember correctly, that's what Bai Lan said.

Bai Lan seemed to be certain that someone had injured Nan Yun's hand.

The problem is, Nagumo clearly injured his hand when he fell downstairs!

Why did Bai Lan do this?

"Kōgenji Rokusuke?! Was it him who hit you?"

Seeing that Nan Yun didn't reply for a long time, Bai Lan couldn't help but speak up again.

Kogenji Rokusuke?

Why are we bringing up Kogen-ji Temple again?

and many more!

A flash of inspiration struck Nan Yun.

At that moment, Nagumo suddenly had a sense of déjà vu!

In an instant, Nagumo had an idea.

This is Bai Lan's threat!

Or perhaps it was Bai Lan who initiated the collaboration!

He had a feeling that Bai Lan's question was meant to make him admit that he had been beaten up!

As for the person they wanted to frame, it was clearly the "Kōenji Rokusuke" that Bai Lan had mentioned!

Why would Nagumo think that way?

The reason is what Kougenji Temple did not long ago!

Just a few days ago, Kogenji successfully expelled the five students from Yonekura through various means.

However, the actions of Kogenji Temple not only harmed Nagumo's interests, but also Shirai's interests!

It's important to know that in order to eliminate the impact of framing Karuizawa, Nagumo signed an agreement with Shirai. In order to protect Yonekura and the others, and to maintain his prestige among the second-year students, he had to pay Shirai a huge compensation of up to 50 million yen!

In addition, Bai Lan also gained a lot of prestige in the class by protecting Karuizawa's case during the false accusation incident.

In this incident, Bai Lan gained points and prestige, while Nan Yun preserved his prestige.

Kogenji's actions, however, ruined all of this!

Let's start with Nagumo.

Kogenji expelled the five students from Yonekura, which not only wiped out the class score of Class D in the second year, but also greatly damaged Nagumo's prestige in the second year. In addition, it also caused Nagumo's monthly income to drop by more than one million yen!

It should be noted that Nan Yun's monthly income was originally only a little over five million. He first caused the second-year A class and D class to lose 50 points and 250 points respectively because of Bai Lan, which reduced Nan Yun's monthly income by more than 900,000. Now it has been reduced by more than one million, which adds up to about two million!

From over five million to two million, only over three million remained.

The decrease in prestige and points has greatly shaken Nagumo's dominance over the second-year students.

To be honest, at this point, Nagumo's dominance over the second-year students was already teetering on the brink of collapse.

As for the impact of Gaoyuan Temple on Bailan.

Although Bai Lan helped Karuizawa overturn the verdict, due to the agreement, Yonekura and the others did not receive any substantial punishment on the surface; they were only required to clean toilets for a period of time.

Therefore, in the eyes of the original Class D members, Shirai only protected Karuizawa, but the criminals are still at large.

Afterwards, in order to punish the criminals, Bai Lan orchestrated the assault that day. Through this incident, she brought the criminals who had escaped justice to justice, and Karuizawa vented his anger, thus gaining a significant boost in prestige.

However, to outsiders, Kogenji's actions were also seen as punishment for a sinner.

However, by comparison, it can be seen that Kogenji Temple seems to have done a better job than Hakuran.

First, I want to see the severity of the punishment.

Bai Lan simply beat the person up.

Kogenji Temple simply expelled the students, and two of them were even beaten up before being expelled.

Clearly, the punishment imposed by the Gaoyuan Temple was more severe and more satisfying.

Secondly, there is the cost of imposing penalties.

After Bai Lan beat someone up, the class lost 50 points.

However, after Gaoyuan Temple expelled the students and beat them up, the class was completely unharmed!

Clearly, the cost to Gaoyuan Temple was much lower, essentially zero.

In this way, when it comes to standing up for the people in the class, Gaoyuan Temple clearly did a better job than Bailan.

Through this incident, Kougenji could gain more prestige than Bai Lan within the original Class D.

Moreover, it's easy for outsiders to draw a conclusion through comparison—Gōtenji is more capable than Hakuran!

Kogenji's actions will garner a wave of supporters among the original Class D.

The number of students in a class is limited.

Originally, Class D was almost entirely controlled by Bai Lan, and everyone had to support her for various reasons.

As Kougenji gains supporters, Shirai will correspondingly lose a group of supporters!

In fact, Shiran will lose more supporters than Kougenji will gain, because some of them who give up supporting Shiran because of Kougenji will not immediately turn around and join Kougenji, but will become fence-sitters or neutrals.

In short, Bai Lan's rule will be greatly shaken because of what Gao Yuan Temple has done!

In Nan Yun's view, Bai Lan is someone who doesn't suffer losses.

Gaoyuan Temple dared to challenge Bai Lan's authority and shake Bai Lan's rule. Bai Lan will definitely not let him off easily!

Therefore, Bai Lan's attempt to collaborate with him, even resorting to threats, likely stemmed from her desire for him to cooperate in framing Gaoyuan Temple.

As for the methods of threat...

As mentioned earlier, starting next month, Nagumo's monthly income will only be a little over three million yen.

However, according to the agreement, Nan Yun will have to pay Bai Lan at least five million every month for the next few months!

With only a little over three million in revenue left, Nanyun clearly couldn't afford to pay that many points!

In other words, Nagumo was unable to reach an agreement.

Once a breach of contract is made, the consequences will be very serious.

However, if Nan Yun is willing to cooperate with Bai Lan, Bai Lan should be willing to give him some leeway, or even waive part of the debt, so that he will not default on the contract.

This is Bai Lan's threat!

Nagumo found it hard to refuse!

Once Nagumo successfully framed Kogenji, Kogenji was punished.

The original Class D will have far more points deducted than the 50 points that Bai Lan originally deducted because of the Highland Temple.

In this way, Nagumo will be able to stabilize his rule over the second-year students by successfully "defeating" Kogenji.

Gaoyuan Temple will also lose prestige because it harms the interests of the class, and Bailan's rule over the class will be consolidated.

Everyone has a bright future.

Although Nan Yun couldn't think of any way Bai Lan could use to successfully frame Gao Yuan Temple, since his fall on the stairs had been captured on surveillance footage, he then thought that since Bai Lan dared to bring it up, the chances of success should be high.

After all, Nagumo had to admit that Shirai was a very terrifying guy... as an enemy.

But if it's a teammate, then Bai Lan is very reliable!

If Bai Lan were to plan this, it might not be a bad idea.

The thought of the rewards he would gain from successfully framing Kogenji made Nangumo feel refreshed.

His face, which had turned deathly pale from the pain caused by Bai Lan aggravating his wound, quickly regained its rosy color in his excitement.

In order to solidify his dominance over the second-year students, Nagumo decided to accept this "threat" and "cooperation," and was even somewhat thrilled.

However, in order to gain as much leverage as possible in the negotiations, Nagumo cannot appear too proactive.

The more unwilling he appeared, the more he seemed to be making a huge sacrifice, so that he could negotiate with Bai Lan for a larger share of "leniency" and "debt relief".
