Chen Mo rested his elbows on the back of the chair, and when he looked up at the door, his eyes flickered vaguely through the smoke, revealing a cold indifference. 　　The coldness ignored the few people sitting on the ground with their heads drooping, bound together by bed sheets. 　　They looked at the people who came as if they were strangers. 　　The moment Xi Siyan pushed open the door and stepped into the dormitory, it was as if that world had finally been shattered. Stepping over the overturned chair and the various items scattered on the floor, he walked to the person sitting there. 　　He didn't say anything, but grabbed Chen Mo's chin and pulled him to the side, revealing the abrasion on his cheekbone and the dark bloodstains at the corner of his mouth. 　　Are there any other injuries? 　　Chen Mo tilted his head back to avoid the question: "No." 　　His voice was hoarse. 　　Xi Siyan let go, looking down at his arm which seemed somewhat weak, and said in a declarative tone, "Fighting doesn't count, and you even smoke. You've got some nerve." 　　Chen Mo took another puff and exhaled, "Then go report me." 　　For reasons unknown, the banquet master did not interfere further. 　　Chen Mo then looked at Gou Yiyang and the other boys, some of whom he hadn't even spoken to, and asked, "Why are you all here?" 　　"Of course I have to come." 　　“They’re bullying people from our experimental class, we can’t just stand by and watch.” 　　The others seemed to finally realize what was happening, and Gou Yiyang even rolled up his sleeves, ready to teach the troublemakers a lesson. But after walking around and seeing the state of the people on the ground, he immediately fell silent. 　　That's... terrible. 　　Some had blood streaming from their noses, while others had completely black eyes. 　　Especially Li Rui, who usually swaggered around like a big monkey at school, had half his face swollen, probably because his teeth had been broken. Combined with the head injury from last week that hadn't healed, he looked truly pitiful. 　　No wonder the school bully didn't answer the door when I knocked earlier; he's gotten into such a fight. 　　Apart from Gou Yiyang, the others were truly filled with respect. 　　Their impression of Chen Mo was that he had only recently been sent in by the Yang family, and hadn't yet been properly seen. They only knew him as a neglected gem from a wealthy family, obsessed with studying the classics. He looked rather thin, but who knew he was such a formidable fighter. 　　Judging from his current demeanor, where he's suppressing the violent tendencies in his blood with cigarettes, he appears calm, collected, and unapproachable to others. 　　"Chen Mo," Li Rui retorted, still unwilling to give up, "What's the point of trying to outdo us in ruthlessness? There are people even more ruthless than you, and you're finished!" 　　Chen Mo glanced at him, got up from the stool with a cigarette butt in his mouth, and casually picked up a small fruit knife that was obviously placed there on the table. 　　Before he could take two steps, he was caught. 　　Xi Siyan grabbed his wrist and took it away, her gaze turning hostile. "You're also hiding a knife? Do you want to add another crime to your list?" 　　“I didn’t keep any for myself.” Chen Mo raised his chin at the person on the ground. “I took it from there.” 　　Xi Siyan's eyes turned cold, and he threw the knife back onto the table. 　　He took the chair that Chen Mo had just sat on, walked over to Li Rui, and pinned Li Rui's legs under the chair before sitting down himself. 　　Li Rui was taken aback: "Xi Siyan, what business is it of yours to meddle?" 　　"Mind your own business?" Xi Siyan said, "Everyone in the experimental class is under my supervision, and he's no exception. What do you think?" 　　"Ha." Li Rui struggled relentlessly, gritting his teeth: "You're nothing but a bully who relies on your family background. Without the Xi family, you're nothing!" 　　After saying that, his face suddenly contorted in pain, and he screamed out. 　　One of the chair legs that Xi Siyan was sitting on had somehow ended up on Li Rui's lap. 　　The sharp edge sank deeply, but Xi Siyan seemed oblivious, sitting casually as he exerted force, not forgetting to ask with a smile: "How about I teach you? I'll teach you what it really means to bully others by abusing your power." 　　Chapter 12 　　By the time Xiang Shenglong arrived at the dormitory, there was almost no room for him to handle the situation. Li Rui and his group simply bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes, without refuting or making excuses, and confessed to causing trouble for Chen Mo. 　　As for Chen Mo, the fact remains that he took action. 　　As a result, some busybody posted this on a forum, even exaggerating the chaotic scene. 　　The title is: "School Bully Admits Defeat Like a Coward, Deep Dive into Who This Real Father Is!" 　　The name Chen Mo has appeared frequently on the campus forum recently. 　　Almost all of them are accompanied by another person with the surname Yang. From the fact that the two were "swapped" at birth, their backgrounds, personalities, and even their daily outfits, everything has been dug out for various speculations and comparisons. 　　In summary... 　　It's simply that Chen Mo is imitating the other person, which is genuine jealousy. 　　Now that the post has been published... 　　The original poster conducted a thorough analysis of Chen Mo from various perspectives and based on numerous rumors. 　　The outrageous claim: [This "father" isn't just related by blood; he's like your father in every way. According to an anonymous classmate from his high school, he was a true academic genius—not just inspiring, but simply brilliant. He frequently skipped classes (reportedly taking on odd jobs outside), dominating three blocks around their high school. An eyewitness reportedly beat a middle-aged man like a dead dog and left him in an alley (later confirmed by police to be his adoptive father. This claim is not guaranteed).] 　　[Furthermore, after about a month at our high school, the Yang family has been publicly promoting him as a "model student." At first glance, this seems accurate; he buries himself in his studies and remains oblivious to worldly affairs, showing little reaction even when Li Rui and his gang secretly cause him trouble. He certainly seems like a well-behaved and patient student. However, given that he continues to enjoy the fruits of Yang Shule's labor, and considering the Yang family's recent business troubles, I think this whole situation is questionable.] 　　[And then! Here comes the important part!] 　　Whether it was out of a desire to compete with the fake young master and a voluntary act of restraint, or out of pressure from the Yang family's situation and to maintain the image of a model student, it seems this guy has reached his limit. According to incomplete statistics, since last week, he's slapped the school bully on the head, humiliated the fake young master's class reunion, and today he single-handedly took on four opponents, making a name for himself in one battle. Therefore, something extraordinary must have happened last week.
