“Is this really okay?”
In the power supply room, Gao Yalin and his sidekicks were fiddling around inside.
Upon seeing Gao Yalin’s actions, the sidekicks by the side all appeared hesitant and fearful.
They were not very supportive of what Gao Yalin was going to do next, but they could not go against him at all.
“Young Master Gao, why don’t we forget this. If we do this, we will have to provide many explanations once this comes to light in the future!”
Finally, one of them couldn’t withstand the pressure, and spoke up to stop Gao Yalin.
Upon hearing his sidekick’s words, Gao Yalin turned his head, his expression instantly becoming sinister and twisted.
He looked around with a terrifying and somber gaze. Every boy who was hit with his gaze could not help but lower their heads in fear.
Gao Yalin watched this result with satisfaction, his gaze returning to the one who spoke first.
He slowly walked to the person and said with a serious expression, “As long as you keep quiet, they keep quiet, and I keep quiet, who will know?”
Then, to assure his sidekicks and himself, he said, “I’ve already destroyed the surveillance cameras. Without any evidence, who can prove that we did it?”
Upon hearing Gao Yalin’s words, the fear on many people’s faces clearly lessened.
At the bottom of it all, even if they ended up getting exposed, Gao Yalin would still be there to take most of the blame. At most, they would be accomplices.
But would that really be the case?
They, who were still students, did not seem to know that this school was backed by the Yuwen family.
Doing such a thing at such an important time was no different from slapping the Yuwen family’s face.
And offending the Yuwen Family, one of the four major family clans in Cloud City, would make one’s life extremely difficult.
By then, the families behind them would all suffer.
Basically, other than leaving Cloud City, there was no other way out.
As for the Gao family behind Gao Yalin, dealing with the aftermath alone would be tough enough. How could they possibly protect the rest?
In order to appease the Yuwen Clan, they might even hand over all these people.
These were things that the little boys could not consider.
They did not know that they were bringing their own families to hell.
Gao Yalin’s complaints continued. Presently he was sweating profusely as he fiddled with the equipment.
“The thought of Lin Feng stealing the limelight makes me very unhappy.”
The pliers in his hands pinched hard on a cable.
Gao Yalin didn’t know how to break the power switch. As a boy who put all his heart into dressing up, he didn’t understand many things.
This was especially true for some problems relating to common sense that he had never encountered before. He knew nothing about them.
“I just can’t figure out how that fellow became so strong all of a sudden.”
“That’s right. If we can learn his secret, perhaps we’ll be able to become popular too, and even obtain the favor of the Li family’s young lady.”
At the mention of Li Qingxi, Gao Yalin’s expression became twisted. The recent major events in Cloud City flashed past his mind.
He kept cursing Li Qingxi inwardly for being as blind as a bat.
Li Qingxi was also the woman in Gao Yalin’s heart, but unfortunately, no matter how much he hinted at her, no one ever looked him in the eye.
When he was privately chosen by the students to be one the four Young Masters, he was originally very happy.
However, he soon discovered that the reason why he was chosen was merely a coincidence.
All the girls only had eyes for Lin Feng. The three others were just there to make up the numbers. Four of them were just right to match the four princesses.
This was why Gao Yalin found Lin Feng to be such an eyesore.
Recalling Li Qingxi’s various acts of declaring her possession of Lin Feng over the past few days and how dominant she had been, Gao Yalin wished he could replace Lin Feng.
Which boy didn’t yearn for love? Gao Yalin was very attracted to Li Qingxi, who was valiant, cool, and domineering.
There were countless times in the past where he fantasized about being bossily pulled into Li Qingxi’s arms.
But all his fantasies were shattered on that day.
From the day Li Qingxi confessed to Lin Feng in a high-profile manner, Gao Yalin’s feelings towards Li Qingxi had been distorted into hatred.
It could be said that hatred stemmed from love.
Perhaps it was because he was too agitated, the parts that he simply could not break before were finally broken by Gao Yalin.
With a crisp crack!
The power supply room suddenly became brighter than the day. Then, a burnt smell assaulted their noses.
At the same time, it was chaos outside. All the teachers in charge began maintaining order immediately.
The relevant members of the technical team also arrived at the scene right away.
After the initial commotion passed, the situation was quickly controlled.
Most of the audience obediently stayed where they were, waiting for the matter to be taken care of.
In any case, there was no need for them to worry.
In the audience, the fake smile on Li Qingxi’s face was gone. The bright smile currently on her face was completely sincere.
“Oh dear, it was the school itself that was bribed previously. What is it this time?”
Li Qingxi still bore a grudge for the previous ambush on campus.
Now that such an accident had happened, Li Qingxi was extremely happy.
“Yunyan, there seems to be a problem with the management measures?”
Seeing Yuwen Yunyan’s stiff smile, Li Qingxi pretended to be kind and went up to her.
“Do you need me to educate your subordinates for you?”
In the face of Li Qingxi’s mocking, Yuwen Yunyan’s lips twitched and the smile on her face became natural again.
It was as if nothing had happened.
However, Yuwen Yunyan’s few attendants who were familiar with her broke out in cold sweat when they saw her current state.
Oh no, this Young Lady is extremely angry right now.
It made sense, Yuwen Yunyan might not have such a big reaction if she had heard such things in usual times.
But now, not only was she here personally, the Li family’s head was also sitting beside her.
If accidents were to happen in this sort of situation, it would be akin to slapping Yuwen Yunyan and the Yuwen family behind her.
Most importantly, in a situation like that, the Li family’s head was still fanning the flames and gloating over the misfortune.
How could Yuwen Yunyan not be angry?
“It’s probably some aged equipment.”
“Is that so? Didn’t you check them properly during the last maintenance?”
Li Qingxi was hinting at something. Yuwen Yunyan maintained her elegance and smiled gently.
“Maybe the subordinates were negligent. I believe the matter will be resolved soon.”
As soon as she said that, a loud noise suddenly came from the direction of the teaching building.
“Boom——”
“There’s fire!”
