Luring the Snake out of Its Hole

Playing mind games with extremely smart people is just this difficult.

The moment Chen Miemie even showed a hint of his intentions, both Fengling and Old Man Deng immediately noticed.

Chen Miemie threw his hands up. "Well, didn't it fail? The principal actually set up alarm devices in his own room?"

Fengling stared at Chen Miemie. "That wasn't an early warning system. That was a killing array, a deliberately set bait. Anyone who enters dies."

"That's really bad," Chen Miemie said expressionlessly, though he was feeling somewhat anxious inside. Could Yi Shuangzi have been wiped out just like that?

But since things had already come to this, it would be too late even if he tried to rescue her now.

"Chen Miemie, it seems you don't trust me?"

Fengling wore a cold expression on her six-eyed face. In just that short moment, a third pair of eyes had squeezed out. This time, she was truly angry.

Chen Miemie thought for a moment. "I actually trust you quite a bit, Teach."

"Then why did you come to extort me instead of looking for Old Man Deng?"

So that was what Fengling was angry about.

"I don't know where he is. Unlike you, I've been to the infirmary before, so I can find you right away. Besides, it's not enough that I trust you; my partner in this doesn't."

The two walked along the path to the principal's office.

Fengling didn't ask who Chen Miemie's "partner" was.

"You guys came to the school and even made a move against the principal. What exactly are you trying to do?"

"Before answering that, Teach, let me ask you a question first. During that time I was in danger in the fourth grade, I heard the operation to leave the city was specially approved by Principal Deng?"

Fengling's footsteps paused for half a second.

"Yes, I was also one of the leading teachers that time."

"Then didn't you ever suspect why an outing specially approved by the principal was met with a well-planned ambush?"

"Hmph, is there even a need to suspect? It was obviously arranged in advance."

"I want to know the truth." Chen Miemie stopped walking.

"This matter concerns you, so you do have the right to know. Back then, Old Man Deng expended a lot of effort, overcoming all objections, to forcefully finalize that outing."

On the other side.

Principal Deng rushed back to his living quarters in the school.

He didn't see anyone. The originally tidy office was already a mess, with fresh bloodstains splattered all over the floor.

The lethal traps set up in advance had all been triggered. The intruder must have fled with injuries.

Principal Deng followed the dripping bloodstains on the ground and chased after them.

He had already immediately notified them to lock down the school gates.

Now, this intruder couldn't escape. It was only a matter of time before they were caught like a turtle in a jar.

The only thing he needed to be slightly concerned about was not letting the other party grab a student as a hostage.

In a dark supply storage room.

Yi Shuangzi was bleeding profusely from her waist, her face pale.

Her hands were tightly bound by ropes. Beside her, there were actually three teachers.

Yi Shuangzi recognized all three teachers. One of them even looked exactly like her current self.

It was the P.E. teacher, Teacher Yuan herself, and she was the leader of the three.

As for the other two male teachers, one had a severed hand, and the other had lost a leg, barely able to stand steadily, looking as if he would collapse at any moment.

Yi Shuangzi stared fixedly at Teacher Yuan. "You are Old Man Deng's lackeys, and you're making a move on me? It's a pity that when that old man gets ruthless, the traps he sets completely disregard the lives of you subordinates."

Teacher Yuan gave a contemptuous smile.

"Little girl of the Yi family, do you still not understand?

How are we Principal Deng's subordinates? That trap full of murderous intent just now was prepared for us.

In the past, when you were in school, it was always Old Man Deng protecting you.

You were cautious enough, blending into the crowd as soon as you left the school, making it hard to find you. However, by a stroke of luck this time, we still managed to catch you."

Yi Shuangzi's eyes widened. "You are?!"

In the corridor.

"What! Teach, you mean that back then, Old Man Deng knew there would be an attack and deliberately set a trap to make them jump out!" The ahoge on Chen Miemie's head straightened directly into an exclamation mark.

Fengling nodded. "The one who designed that luring the snake out of its hole operation wasn't just Principal Deng, but also your mother, Chen Miaomiao. Otherwise, why do you think she was able to appear so timely?

Back then, the Principal discovered very early on that there was hostility directed at a group of students, including you. Thus, after discussing it with Chen Miaomiao, they decided to lure the other party out."

Chen Miemie frowned. "That's not very reasonable, is it? Dragging a group of students out of the city together, fishing doesn't require that much bait. This had nothing to do with many people; they were innocent. This doesn't seem like something a principal would do."

"Because at that time, the principal also couldn't be sure who exactly among them the target wanted to attack. They had already narrowed down the scope as much as possible."

"Teach, using the students themselves as traps, did none of you teachers have any objections?"

"Originally there were, but with Chen Miaomiao as a guarantee, we were relieved. The facts also proved that with her watching over in secret, although the process was somewhat thrilling, the result was that there were no deaths on the school's side."

"Why were you guys so confident that Chen Miaomiao could protect everyone?"

Fengling curled her lips helplessly. "Then why do you think everyone can only coax her with nice words, even knowing that your family's Chen Miaomiao is dangerous and capricious? Let alone Sixiang City, in the entire Hundred Cities and Seven Clans, no one dares to claim they can definitely defeat her."

Chen Miemie thought for a moment and shifted his angle of suspicion.

"How did Yi Shuangzi and Teacher Jing hide right under Old Man Deng's nose for several years?"

Fengling pondered this question for a moment.

"I'm not the principal himself, so I can only speak of what I know.

Yi Shuangzi changing her appearance at will to attend classes was secretly permitted by the principal. In fact, the principal has always known her whereabouts. At times, he even helped cover for her. As for the reason why he spoiled her like this, I don't know.

As for Teacher Jing, he is indeed strange. I even paid attention to him before, but using divination requires mystery as an excuse, he always kept to himself. He never interfered with school affairs and remained aloof from the world, so everyone respected his attitude of keeping his distance."

In the supply storage room.

Boom!

The main door was violently blasted open.

As the dust settled, Principal Deng walked in.

"Let her go, and I will let you leave."

Facing the imposing principal, the three teachers trembled slightly.

The two male teachers were somewhat swayed.

Teacher Yuan shouted loudly, "Fools! Leave? Where could we possibly go?"

At this, a look of despair washed over the male teachers' faces.

Yes, where could they go? The Principal was one of the city's three giants. Without a corresponding faction to take them in, even if they could leave the school, there would be no place for them in this city.

"Rather than that, it's better to..." A ruthless gleam flashed in Teacher Cui's eyes.

She swung her knife directly at the tied-up Yi Shuangzi.

"Stubborn fools," Principal Deng said, waving his sleeve.

Teacher Cui's entire body instantly spontaneously combusted.

The knife she had swung halfway dropped to the floor.

The rapidly burning ashes of the human body fell onto Yi Shuangzi's face.

"Why? Why would you save me?" she murmured, her eyes vacant.

Principal Deng stepped forward and gently untied her bindings.

"Child, where is the need for a reason? This is a school, there aren't that many schemes and plots here. You are a student of the school, and I am the principal."

Just Became Emperor, Already Assassinated by the Son of Destiny

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
