Chapter 57
Chen Daji knew he had messed up this time and slunk toward the exit.
As he passed Hua Jiunan, his eyes were filled with resentment.
Hua Jiunan felt helpless as well. *Brother, it’s better for one of us to be punished than both of us. My condolences…*
The fallout from this incident was extremely severe.
The new beautiful teacher had just graduated with her master’s degree and was unmarried. She had voluntarily chosen to come to this remote mountainous area to support the education system, so the school leadership was very concerned about her well-being.
The principal, the dean, and the homeroom teacher conducted a “joint trial” of Chen Daji. They criticized him from every angle, including his character, morals, and general conduct.
Finally, they reached a conclusion: this boy was a black sheep and had to be severely punished!
Chen Daji was sentenced to clean the toilets for a month.
Chen Daji seemed indifferent to the decision. “Clean them, then. It’s not like I haven’t done it before!”
“Teachers, Principal, I have to ask something first.”
“Am I only cleaning the boys’ bathroom, or do I have to do the girls’ too?”
After asking such a stupid question, Chen Daji’s punishment was doubled…
One day, while Chen Daji was humming a song and cleaning the toilets, his phone suddenly rang.
The boy was stunned. There was actually a signal in the bathroom!
“Hello, who is it?”
“I’m your father!”
“Holy crap! I’m your father, I’m your whole family’s father! …Oh, Dad, it’s really you… You can’t blame me. Who told you to be so stingy and not pay for caller ID…”
Chen Fu’s roar came from the other end of the line: “Cut the crap! Get Jiunan to the school gate and wait. Chief Zhou is on his way to pick him up. Something’s happened-something big!”
Chen Daji dropped his broom and turned to run. “Dad, we have to find the teacher to ask for leave first, or we can’t get out!”
Chen Fu’s voice was full of anxiety. “Your Uncle Zhou already spoke to the principal. Just let Jiunan leave directly!”
“Hello? Hello?”
Chen Daji wanted to ask more, but the signal cut out.
“F*ck his Eldest Master! What a piece of junk, failing me at the critical moment!”
Hua Jiunan was startled when he heard what Chen Daji had to say. His first reaction was that Deaf Granny had fallen ill. However, when he met Chief Zhou, he realized that wasn’t the case.
It turned out that someone had died at the ancient tomb excavation site.
Furthermore, three people had died in a single night, one of whom was a member of the Provincial Expert Group.
Their deaths were very eerie. When they were found, they were kneeling on the ground with their hands raised high. It looked exactly as if they were worshiping something, and their faces were filled with terror.
Chief Zhou looked ashamed and said apologetically, “Jiunan, you’re still young, and I shouldn’t be interfering with your studies, but this matter is just too strange. I suspect some filthy things are behind it. Old Auntie is getting on in years, and I don’t dare trouble her, so I can only ask you to take a look. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with this…”
Before Hua Jiunan could speak, Chen Daji spoke up first with a righteous expression.
“Say no more, Uncle Zhou! Slaying demons and subduing monsters is a duty Big Brother and I cannot refuse! Let’s go right now!”
Chief Zhou looked at the boy with annoyance. “Who said you were coming? Get out of the car and go back to class! Don’t come along just to cause trouble!”
How could Chen Daji miss out on such a thrilling and dangerous event?
“Uncle Zhou, just take me with you! I’m actually very useful… Oh, right! I have a Pure Yang Body! Even the Old Immortal praised me for being powerful!”
Seeing that Chief Zhou didn’t believe him, Chen Daji hurried to have Hua Jiunan testify for him.
“Big Brother, didn’t I beat up a ghost that night?!”
Hua Jiunan thought for a moment before speaking. “Uncle Zhou, Daji’s Pure Yang Body can indeed ward off evil. Let’s bring him along; he might actually be able to help.”
The car sped along the road and arrived at the Chen family’s mine an hour later. Cordon lines had already been set up, and police officers were patrolling everywhere.
Waiting to receive Hua Jiunan and the others, aside from the town leaders, was Professor Ma from the Provincial Expert Group. He was an elderly man wearing thick glasses.
Professor Ma wore a traditional Zhongshan suit and carried a strong academic air. Hua Jiunan frowned slightly; the man looked like a typical old scholar. Such people were often very rigid and stubborn. Dealing with someone like that would not be easy!
After the town leaders brought Hua Jiunan and the others to a room, they exchanged a few pleasantries and left. To Hua Jiunan’s surprise, Professor Ma spoke up first in a warm and hearty tone.
“Truly, a hero emerges from the youth! I didn’t expect the master Chief Zhou invited to be so young!”
