Chapter 571: Chapter 571

Huo Feng dealt with those three men in the presence of Huo Mingshan.

He hadn’t expected that Huo Mingshan, who loved to maintain a good image, actually had his toupee knocked off by these men...

Looking at Huo Mingshan’s balding head, even his son Huo Feng couldn’t bear to watch. So, at the first calm moment, he promptly reattached the toupee to Huo Mingshan’s head.

Huo Mingshan hurriedly pressed down on the toupee on his head and, when others were not paying attention, quietly adjusted it...

By his side, Huo Feng leaned in and whispered sarcastically, "I told you, violence solves problems, you should have involved Grandpa earlier. Now look, they had to resort to violence first. Embarrassing, isn’t it?"

Huo Feng spoke so quietly, it seemed like he intended only Huo Mingshan to hear.

Upon hearing this, Huo Mingshan snorted and did not respond.

"Students, do not be afraid, the teacher is going to call the police, and the police will handle the following matters."

By then, Huo Mingshan could finally take charge with peace of mind.

Because those three burly men were now firmly restrained by Huo Feng’s ten underlings!

Don’t assume Huo Feng’s brothers were just students, each had their own abilities!

With their numbers and youthful vigor, they had the advantage!

When the confrontation began, the three men couldn’t fend them off at all—they were easily overpowered and beaten up by Huo Feng and his ten underlings, making it an utterly miserable scene!

Now, they were held down on the ground in a highly disheveled manner by Huo Feng’s ten brothers. The faces of two of the men were grinding against the concrete floor, and as for the 200-pound fat man, because of his size, he couldn’t be brought down. So, Pan Bo simply held him down tightly, rendering him immobile!

Huo Mingshan immediately called the police in front of the entire class.

As he called, the leading fat brother raged on, shouting, "Go ahead and call the police! Do you think I am afraid of you? I warn you, we only have one goal! Either you disclose Pu Sangzhi’s address, or we have ways to make you suffer! We have ways to deal with you!"

The ’you’ in Fat Brother’s mouth definitely referred to Huo Mingshan, and these emotionally charged words were also directed at Huo Mingshan!

At that moment, Huo Mingshan furrowed his brows at the shouting, but since he was on the phone, he did not respond or stoop to that level.

Huo Feng realized that these guys had now shifted their target, and were actually going after Huo Mingshan!

No wonder, even though the news of Sangzhi transferring schools had been released, they were still stubbornly creating chaos here, clinging onto Huo Mingshan!

It seems they were now using Huo Mingshan as their scapegoat!

"Hey, I warn you too!"

Knowing that Huo Mingshan was timid and afraid of trouble, Huo Feng stepped in front of him and addressed Fat Brother for him, "Stop targeting Pu Sangzhi! Tangxia is my territory! If you dare harm a single hair on Pu Sangzhi’s head in my area, I will have you killed!"

Even though Huo Feng had gone straight a long time ago, the title of ’School Tyrant’ was still with him, and the aura of the ’School Tyrant’ had not faded!

Words like these were enough to make his figure loom immensely large in an instant, with a fierce presence like a nuclear explosion!

At that moment, all the students in the class started applauding!

And someone even led with a cry: "Nice!"

In private, quite a few girls were whispering in awe, "So handsome..."

At this moment, Huo Feng’s image as the school villain once again stood sharply defined in the students’ minds —but it was now a positive image!

Fat Brother spat fiercely, eyes bulging with rage, "Just keep protecting that deadbeat! All of you are protecting a deadbeat! Not repaying debts has somehow become right!"

Huo Feng directly pushed Fat Brother’s forehead, his action was swift and clean, startling the entire class!

Fat Brother screamed and roared in a frenzy, on his knees. But that was all he could do...

Because Fat Brother was tightly restrained by four brothers, left and right, he couldn’t exert any strength at all!

"If someone owes you money, go after them! What sense does it make to bother two women? What sense does it make to trouble students!"

Huo Feng pointed at Fat Brother’s head and shouted angrily, "I heard you’ve already driven the original debtor to jump off a building! Don’t you know how to restrain yourselves? Are you planning to drive her daughter and her to death as well? I warn you, violent debt collection is illegal. If you go too far, beware, I’ll sue you!"

As Huo Feng and Fat Brother were busy arguing, Huo Mingshan had finished making the police call, and at the same time, the school’s security personnel had also hurriedly arrived...

Only after professional personnel arrived were those three men completely controlled and detained. They were taken to the police station even before the police arrived!

As a victim, Huo Mingshan also went to the police station to make a statement, accusing those three men.

The three men were detained again for 48 hours and paid Huo Mingshan 500 yuan. Regarding the payment and the 48-hour detention, they had no complaints and didn’t care, as if such results were within their expectations.

However, during the detention process before, those people repeatedly warned Huo Mingshan, claiming they would definitely haunt Huo Mingshan! They told him to just wait and see!

The evening self-study issue was hastily resolved amid an atmosphere of genuine fear and trepidation...

After the incident, several explosive pieces of news spread across the campus...

Firstly, the debtor visited the school and Pu Sangzhi’s family’s situation was exaggerated and demonized, turning Pu Sangzhi into a jinx among the students, talked about from mouth to mouth.

Secondly, Huo Feng, along with his brothers, subdued the villains, and the various details of the fight were mythologized. Huo Feng in the rumors also appeared irresistibly handsome!

But most crucially, the hottest and most shocking yet laughable news was... Huo Mingshan was actually middle-aged and bald! He had been wearing a wig all along, acting high and mighty at school! Dıscover more novels at 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⚑𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥

After this incident, Huo Mingshan, Huo Feng, and Pu Sangzhi, who was not at school, became completely famous.

From first to third grade, and even the teachers of various grades, including the externally hired teachers, knew about the matter and the three of them...

So, not long after this event, Huo Feng’s popularity at school soared even more.

As for Huo Mingshan, after being infuriated for a few days, he went and shaved his head completely, deciding to live openly as himself from then on!

Of course, those most affected weren’t the father and son, but Pu Sangzhi...

That Monday night, the matter blew up, so Pu Sangzhi received the news that evening.

The person who passed her this message was neither a classmate from her class nor Huo Feng or the others, but Principal Han.

That night at 9:00 PM, Principal Han especially called her to inform her about the situation.

Over the phone, Pu Sangzhi could sense Principal Han’s disappointment and helplessness. Although he did not explicitly blame her, his words insinuated one thing: she needed to handle this matter quickly so as not to cause more trouble for the school.

Principal Han had not forced her to transfer schools, he hadn’t even mentioned it, only allowing her to take a half-year leave to give her family time to figure out a solution.

After this call, Principal Han even took the initiative to speak with her mother, resulting in Chen Huifen talking to Principal Han for over half an hour.

Pu Sangzhi sat on the living room sofa, hugging her knees, anxiously staring at the tightly closed door of Chen Huifen’s room.

A bad premonition lingered in her heart for a long time.

Around 10:00 PM, Chen Huifen finished the call and signaled Pu Sangzhi with her eyes, calling her into Ye Qingcao’s room and locking the door.

Since it was a school day, Ye Qingcao was not home and was at the boarding school. Thus, only Pu Sangzhi occupied Ye Qingcao’s room.

The reason they locked the door and hid was to avoid Ye Qingcao’s mother Xu Hui and to discuss the matter privately.

Chen Huifen took out the property deed, apparently having struggled greatly to make this decision, and told Pu Sangzhi, "Right now, this is the only valuable asset we can dispose of. Xiaosang, we can only sell it to temporarily alleviate our debts."

Pu Sangzhi shook her head, "It’s useless. Even if we sell this house, it’s worth only three to four hundred thousand. That amount of money wouldn’t even cover the interest... Have you forgotten? When we fled from Shanghai, it was because my aunt and the others scraped together more than 400,000 as a deposit to barely get us out. Now, we haven’t even repaid that 400,000..."

Usury, aside from the frightening debt collectors, what’s more terrifying is the compound interest system.

If the principal is 2 million, based on a normal interest rate, the monthly interest would be 3,000 to 6,000. If not paid within the month, the interest itself will incur interest, plus the overdue penalty on top of that, and it being usury, the interest compounded in such a way can double in half a year, and then double and double again...

And now, it has undoubtedly reached a sky-high level! It was no longer just about a principal of 2 million...

Therefore, selling the house to fill the gap was utterly futile.

Just like back in Shanghai, when her family relatives gathered over 400,000 to help relieve their mother and daughter from trouble, but that money just vanished like throwing water into the sea...

Both of them even couldn’t pay back the 400,000 owed to their relatives, let alone such exorbitant debt.

Chen Huifen held the property deed and said, "Mom will plead with them. As long as they agree to give you a few years of peaceful study time, the property deed is theirs, and Mom will work for them for a lifetime."

"Mom, it’s pointless."

Pu Sangzhi sighed deeply, "They won’t listen. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have pressured us back in Shanghai."

Chen Huifen, knowing there was no good solution, could only sigh, "Xiaosang, if there really is no other way, you’ll have to transfer schools again..."

Pu Sangzhi opened her mouth, wanting to say something, yet found she had nothing to say.

It seemed that was indeed the only way left...
