Chapter 17: The Prophet Emperor! The Electric Eel of Chunfeng High!
"Why so quiet? So happy you don't know what to say?"
Seeing Fang Yifan rendered speechless and looking somewhat dazed after being roasted, He Chen turned Fang Yifan's own smug words back against him.
"The Electric Eel of Chunfeng High? The Prophet Emperor of the 'Great Filial Piety' hall? The Little Prince of Wit and Humor? Perk up, don't lose face!"
He Chen reeled off several nicknames in a row.
In his eyes, Fang Yifan was no Great Sage Equal to Heaven causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace!
Don't insult the Great Sage!
Someone like Fang Yifan didn't even have the qualifications to be a "Destined One" in *Black Myth*.
Besides, Fang Yifan didn't usually call himself the Great Sage Equal to Heaven; he called himself the Electric Eel of Chunfeng High!
That's right!
Although it was only 2011, and logically the Electric Eel hadn't officially returned to the country to become a massive sensation yet, He Chen had long since stopped obsessing over timelines.
After all, if one really followed the timeline, Yuan Hua and Qiu Ya couldn't possibly be here either.
In this comprehensive world where movies and TV shows were all tossed into one pot, the timeline adjusted itself automatically. He Chen had long been accustomed to taking the current, actual timeline as the standard.
Therefore, the Electric Eel already existed, and had even become Fang Yifan's idol.
Because with Fang Yifan's long face, aside from the Electric Eel, if he claimed to look like the "plain-looking" Louis Koo and called himself the Louis Koo of Chunfeng High, he wouldn't be able to say it out loud, regardless of what others thought.
And after Fang Yifan started calling himself that, it became quite interesting in He Chen's eyes.
It had a bit of the flavor of a Prophet Emperor.
The Electric Eel ended up going "in," and this time, if things went poorly, the father of the Electric Eel of Chunfeng High might be sent "in" first by his son for a rehearsal.
The reason for going in was the same: a special hobby of knowingly breaking the law.
"Are you a psycho!" Fang Yifan snapped back to reality and angrily scolded He Chen.
Classmates bickering and trading barbs was normal, but was it necessary to get this serious?
The key was that this time, it involved his dearest old dad.
Usually, sons were closer to their mothers, but he had such a volatile mother, while his father had a soft, gentle temperament—more like a mother in the traditional sense—so he had always been able to talk to his father about anything.
Naturally, he couldn't stand seeing his father dragged into this; not only was it embarrassing, but upon returning, he would definitely be lectured and nagged by his mother.
That's right!
He didn't think there would really be any problem, nor did he believe his father would be arrested over this; it was just a turtle, after all.
"Do you think this is playing house?" He Chen mocked. "Reporting illegal behavior is everyone's duty. You're the son of someone in legal affairs, yet you don't even have basic legal awareness.
Since your father won't teach by example, then I, as a fellow alumnus, will take the responsibility to teach you well on his behalf.
It will save you from having such weak legal awareness that you commit more serious illegal acts in the future and end up really going in to 'operate a sewing machine'!"
This infuriated Fang Yifan. With his hot temper flaring, he rushed over to throw a punch, but was quickly intercepted by other classmates. Someone had already slipped away to notify the teacher. 【30】 The College Entrance Exam Consultation Fair site.
The scene of the college entrance examination consultation meeting.
The principal was personally accompanying Ji Yangyang's father, giving a detailed explanation and introducing this arrogant tradition of Chunfeng High. Ji Yangyang's father nodded from time to time, exchanging pleasantries.
Suddenly, a chubby face squeezed over to greet Ji Yangyang's father. The principal almost blocked him directly, but seeing that the two really knew each other, he stood aside without speaking, though he kept watching Ji Yangyang's father's expression, ready to act at any moment.
"Shengli, long time no see. I'm Fang Yuan, Yuanyuan!"
"Oh, Yuanyuan! Why did you suddenly pop out? Are you a teacher here?"
"My son goes to school here."
The two exchanged a few pleasantries. Seeing that it was all empty talk, the principal immediately interrupted and invited Ji Yangyang's father away, leaving behind Fang Yifan's father, who was still savoring the moment.
Fang Yifan's mother, Tong Wenjie, walked over at this moment and said in surprise, "You really know him!"
"Of course!" Fang Yifan's father, Fang Yuan, boasted, "What's a district mayor? One day if I meet the mayor, upon recalling, we might even be cousins!"
"You're getting carried away!" Tong Wenjie teased, "He was just being polite and ritualistic with you; it was lukewarm. Is knowing him useful?"
"Lukewarm?" Fang Yuan only realized it then, but he quickly brushed it aside, sighing, "Time flies. He didn't even recognize me, and now he's become a big district mayor.
Back then, we were childhood friends. My grades were good, and I got into the University of Political Science and Law directly, while he didn't and had to repeat a year before getting in.
We were a grade apart, and later we gradually lost contact.
And now, we're worlds apart.
He's a big district mayor, while I'm just a small section chief in legal affairs who hasn't even passed the bar exam."
"So what if you're a small section chief? I like you just the way you are, I like your lack of ambition." As the couple chatted and laughed, Li Tiegun hurried over anxiously.
"Fang Yifan's mom and dad, come with me!"
"Teacher Li, what happened?" Tong Wenjie's heart immediately sank.
She knew best what kind of character her son was; school had only been open for 24 hours, and he had already caused so much trouble.
Now, whenever a teacher called her, she got a headache.
Li Tiegun waved her hand, signaling them to follow, and called Ruan Lu as well. They left the consultation fair venue, and while leading them toward the teacher's office, she explained the situation.
"Call the police?!" Compared to Ruan Lu's calmness, Tong Wenjie and Fang Yuan were both shocked.
Tong Wenjie immediately complained to her husband a few times, then looked angrily at the calm Ruan Lu: "He Chen's parent, your He Chen is too much! They're all classmates, is it necessary to be so serious? He hit people so hard before, and now it's even worse—how can you call the police!"
"Why can't we call the police?" Ruan Lu retorted in a flat tone, "Reporting illegal behavior is the duty of every citizen. I am very gratified by this!"
"This is not the time for this!" Li Tiegun quickly intervened: "Fang Yifan's dad, you need to think carefully now whether you bought and sold a genuine protected national animal, a golden coin turtle!"
"I..." Fang Yuan was speechless.
Could he say no?
When he let his son give it to the teacher, he had repeatedly reminded his son to tell the teacher that it was a genuine golden coin turtle.
"What 'I'?" Although Tong Wenjie wasn't in legal affairs like her husband, she was a so-called work elite and immediately grasped the point: "I told you long ago not to lose yourself in trivial hobbies, but you wouldn't listen. You're unskilled but addicted, and now you've been slapped in the face for being blind, right? You can't even tell if it's a genuine golden coin turtle and got it wrong—what can you do! No wonder you haven't even passed the bar exam yet!"
"..." Fang Yuan's chubby face shifted colors.
He knew his wife meant well, reminding him to first clear up the legal liability, but just a moment ago, she had praised him for his lack of ambition and said she liked him that way, and now she had seamlessly said the exact opposite without hesitation.
He didn't know which was his wife's true heart... ===== CHAPTER 18 =====
