[Finally, tremble, everyone! The school bully has changed hands. New week, new life!] 　　The replies were varied and numerous, piling up to hundreds of comments in a short time, demonstrating just how unreliable the school's claim of strictly confiscating cell phones was. 　　[Who is the original poster referring to? If it were really going to get that bad, the school would have intervened by now, okay? I haven't heard anything about it.] 　　[I live on the fifth floor of the men's dormitory in Area A, and I can vouch for this. But I have to say, the poster's ability to make up stories is impressive; I was almost convinced.] 　　In short, the original poster is crazy! 　　[Haha, where did you get this chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) mentality, OP? Still trembling? You think Li Rui is some kind of wolf king, and the next ruler has to defeat him? Li Rui is just a rich kid scumbag, to put it bluntly. I still don't understand why he's targeting Chen Mo for no reason.] 　　[It seems like Li Rui was trying to curry favor with Yang Shule. Holy crap, I'm starting to suspect a conspiracy.] 　　[Li Rui and Yang Shule? I can't imagine these two having anything in common.] 　　[Don't you know, upstairs? Yang Shule's popularity isn't just talk (sarcastically). From the rich kids at school to the poor students in the shantytowns, he treats everyone the same, equally kind. So sometimes I wondered if he was a fake. But looking at him now, wow, he's definitely a fake!] 　　No one would have expected it. 　　The class monitor of the experimental class in the second year of high school would pull out his mobile phone from his desk during breaks and passionately start speaking. 　　Qi Lin walked around to her side and asked, "What are you looking at?" 　　"None of your business!" Sun Xiaoya was still angry, but after a second, she said, "Watching the show." 　　Qi Lin was sprayed in the face, his eyes looking innocent, but he still asked, "Watching the show? Never mind, I was just asking, are Lao Yan and the others still in Lao Xiang's office?" 　　“They’re still here.” Sun Xiaoya glanced back at the empty seats, then looked at Yang Shule in the middle, who seemed to have seen or heard something and was lost in thought. Her tone unconsciously carried a hint of schadenfreude: “This matter has been posted on the forum and can’t be suppressed.” 　　Qi Lin was speechless: "You're actually quite happy about this." 　　"If someone is unhappy, then I'm happy." 　　Sun Xiaoya looked down at her phone again. 　　The post had already reached nearly 300 replies. 　　The attention of those behind had returned to the event itself. 　　[This matter hasn't even been leaked out yet, so what's the point of us talking about it here? We haven't even figured out if it's true or false.] 　　[It's definitely true, everyone's in the administration building right now.] 　　[Li Rui's family must be quite powerful, right? They caused so much trouble before and nothing really happened to them.] 　　[Powerful? Just kidding, there's someone surnamed Xi in the academic affairs office.] 　　[Uh, don't tell me he's still number one in his grade...] 　　Summarize. 　　Li Rui is finished. 　　Let the ashes be scattered. 　　[Yes, I agree. The Xi family is keeping a low profile; they're not dead.] 　　Some people found this unbelievable and immediately criticized, "Can some people please stop being so ridiculous? This is a TV drama, and it's Chen Mo who's fighting. Besides, if Xi Siyan really loved meddling so much, dragging the Xi family into it, how could he be number one? Wake up, everyone! Don't assume that just because we went to the same school, we're all the same. With the Xi family's background, no matter how low-key they are, they can't possibly become ordinary people." 　　[That's an exaggeration...] 　　[Exactly. Yang Shule has told many people that he and Xi Siyan know each other because of family connections. Since they have a good relationship, and Chen Mo is Yang's biological son, it wouldn't be surprising if he helped her.] 　　The person who had just spoken quickly replied, "Heh, to be honest, Yang Shule, who always claims to be his childhood sweetheart, probably never even caught his eye." 　　[Got it, the person upstairs is just jealous of the rich.] 　　[Is he jealous of Chen Mo, who's now been recognized by a wealthy family? He's probably hoping Chen Mo gets fired.] 　　The people who were previously on guard immediately broke down. 　　[Stop fantasizing. I'm not jealous of the rich; my family has some assets. I just can't stand some of you who shamelessly preach world peace while unable to hide your own envious and opportunistic nature. Chen Mo is just an unloved son of the Yang family. Anyone with real connections wouldn't even give him a second glance. The Yang family isn't even worth a second glance compared to the Xi family, let alone someone like Chen Mo. What is he? Why would I be jealous?] 　　These words immediately provoked public outrage. 　　It wasn't because of Chen Mo, but because the arrogance and sense of superiority that this person exuded between the lines were so overwhelming, and it was an indiscriminate attack. 　　With this person's appearance, many onlookers genuinely hoped that this matter would quietly pass by. 　　Ideally, Li Rui would pack up and go home, and Chen Mo would be fine. 　　In fact, half an hour later. 　　Suddenly, the campus loudspeaker blared. 　　—We are issuing a notification that a serious fight broke out among the second-year high school students this afternoon, causing extremely negative consequences. The following is a report on the handling of the incident. 　　—Chen Mo from Class 1, Grade 11, is given a school-wide reprimand for a minor violation that was not the primary cause of the incident. He will be required to submit a 500-word oral or written apology at the flag-raising ceremony next Monday. Li Rui from Class 9, Grade 11, has repeatedly violated school rules and regulations, resulting in a serious offense. He has been given a major demerit and suspended from school for a week, to be taken home by his parents for education. Huang Sheng from Class 6, Grade 11, and Ma Xiong from Class 7… have been given warnings and are required to submit 1000-word written apologies. The school is not a place for you to break the law. We will not condone or tolerate any violations. We hope all students will take this as a warning and study hard. This concludes the announcement. 　　The various speculations circulating on the forum about how people would fight to the death based on their background and family connections were instantly refuted. 　　The announcement was practically saying: What are you all thinking? Your parents are being called in! 　　Not long after the announcement, some people discovered that the forum post had been deleted. 　　Academic Affairs Office. 　　Xiang Shenglong asked the student standing in front of him, "Do you have any objections to this result?" 　　Chen Mo nodded: "It's good, it's fair." 　　"I will coordinate with the school about Li Rui's dormitory. You can stay here without worry."
