Chapter 499: The School Bully Alpha Gets Penalized Again! 05

At this moment, Sun Mi's silence was especially thought-provoking.

If they truly had a clear conscience, being the victim they claimed to be, they wouldn't need Jin Chen to press them; they could just spill their schedule like pouring beans.

Jiang Xun finally understood what Jin Chen was saying, and a look of surprise lingered on their face for a long time.

How does it feel like this person knows everything?

Didn't they just return to school today?

Director Hu also sensed something was off and immediately became unhappy.

"Sun Mi, what exactly is going on? If you want justice, you must be honest."

"If you deliberately mislead the teacher, that's not allowed!"

"I… I was in the bathroom at that time, so the surveillance didn't catch it!"

Although that was the case, Sun Mi now lacked their earlier confidence, their mind filled with the need to keep the stalking incident from being leaked.

Otherwise, they would face a punishment even harsher than plagiarism!

Jin Chen hummed, then said: "The male bathroom is right where the surveillance can capture the entrance; it's not a blind spot."

"Which bathroom did you go to?"

Sun Mi's face turned even paler.

Director Hu, looking at them like that, still didn't understand.

"Sun Mi, no matter how angry you are about the cheating incident with Jiang Xun, you can't frame others!"

"I didn't! He's just a good-for-nothing delinquent—how can you believe what they say, Teacher?"

Sun Mi remained stubborn, their eyes showing unwillingness to accept.

Jiang Xun hadn't reacted yet, but Jin Chen's gaze turned cold first.

However, they didn't say anything else, merely letting their gaze linger on Sun Mi's injured spot for a long time, finally masking the deep, cold darkness in their eyes.

Jiang Xun keenly sensed the change in Jin Chen's aura, and when they looked again, it had already been restrained.

Director Hu also grew angry hearing this, slammed the table hard, and said: "Sun Mi, you should know the school's investigation hasn't concluded yet; this matter isn't settled."

"Alright, let's just leave it at that. We're all classmates, so we should be more accommodating to each other from now on."

They waved their hand, letting Sun Mi leave, then spoke impatiently to Jiang Xun and the others still standing before them.

"Go back now. Also be friendlier to your classmates. As for Jiang Xun, I'll go to the principal's office to check on the investigation; if that doesn't work, I'll give you another test sheet to retake."

Jiang Xun also knew that Director Hu, though a bit strict, didn't raise his voice at them when just looking at the facts, and they nodded obediently.

"Got it, Old Hu!"

"You little brat! Is "Old Hu" something you can call him?"

Director Hu, seeing them, felt their bald head, and said: "I see you and Jin Chen get along well; I heard you're in the same class, so you should study well with Jin Chen from now on."

Jiang Xun glanced at Jin Chen awkwardly, unwillingly drawing out an 'oh'.

Once they all left the office, Xue Yuan and the two lackeys, having realized what happened, suddenly cheered softly.

"Brother Jin, you're awesome! Your reaction was too fast!"

"I've never met such an impressive good student before! No wonder they're top of the grade—what vision!"

Xue Yuan also felt Jin Chen had changed a lot; judging from their few past interactions, such a thing would normally be beneath them to even notice.

Jin Chen looked at them coldly: "Class is about to start."

Xue Yuan inexplicably understood their meaning, as if saying, "You can thank An now."

They immediately grabbed the shoulders of their two close brothers, saying, "Got it, got it, got it! We should head back to our own class!"

Jiang Xun still felt surprised that the matter ended just like that!

They hadn't even been scolded!

"Why are you helping me?"

Jiang Xun followed behind Jin Chen, walking while secretly tiptoeing to compare their height difference.

When they noticed at least a ten‑centimeter gap, they pursed their lips and clicked their tongue, "What does this person eat to grow so tall?!"

My position as Sheng Feng's top dominant A is not secure anymore!

Just then, Jin Chen suddenly turned to face them directly, leaning in close.

Jiang Xun immediately held their breath and widened their eyes.

"What are you doing? What are you doing?"

After differentiating, no Alpha would dare get this close! Do Alphas repel each other's pheromones?

After a few seconds, Jin Chen seemed to have enjoyed seeing their startled expression, straightened up, and their tone carried an inexplicable pleasure.

"If you want to help, just help."

Having said that, they headed straight for the classroom.

Leaving Jiang Xun wind‑blown and confused, "What does "help if you want to help" even mean? What is this person showing off for?!"

They then stared for a while longer, slowly exhaling a single word.

"Damn…"

Just now they actually thought this person was really good‑looking!

Really, it's uncanny.

Back in the classroom, Jin Chen drew plenty of attention as soon as they entered; everyone had heard the gossip from Shi Zishi earlier and now wanted to know how it was handled.

But the blazing gossip fire, upon seeing Jin Chen's instant, felt as if doused with ice water—no one dared to ask.

I don't know if it's Zhou Fangshu's illusion, but they kept feeling that when Jin Chen entered earlier, they glanced at them.

They frowned, turned their head, and saw Jin Chen already seated, flipping through a book and picking up a pen, preparing for the next class—nothing out of the ordinary.

At that moment, Jiang Xun also rushed into the classroom.

Shi Zishi let out an "ao" at once; he and Jiang Xun had always been on good terms. "Jiang bro! Did Bald Hu yell at you? What's up with this?"

"Scram, scram, scram, he didn't scold me!"

Jiang Xun shook off his hand impatiently, recalling this guy's nickname "the know‑it‑all": "Kid, you're quick with the news!"

"That's right, Sheng Feng's little Ling Tong goes without saying."

Seeing Jiang Xun in a good mood, Shi Zishi joined in with a joke.

Their entire conversation landed squarely in Zhou Fangshu's ears.

He gripped the notebook tightly, shock flashing in his eyes.

How could this be? Sun Mi actually failed to get Jiang Xun punished; with such an obvious injury, did Director Hu not even see it?

Instinctively, he quickly blamed the school's reluctance on pressure from the Jiang family, so they dared not do anything to Jiang Xun.

Thinking of this, subtle jealousy and resentment sprouted again in his heart.

So we commoners, no matter how well we study, can't match anyone's family background.

As Jiang Xun walked past his seat, he stared at Zhou Fangshu for a long time, genuinely unable to recall when he had provoked this Omega.

Clearly, they had never interacted before.

He always speaks his mind, but for now there's no evidence, so he can't openly ask about it in class.

Even Xie Yangze noticed something odd, his tone unfriendly: "Why are you staring at Xiao Shu? Do you still want to hit a classmate?"

Jiang Xun gave him a once‑over and spat out two clear, contemptuous words: "Idiot."

Having said that, he hurried back to his seat, and Jin Chen instinctively rose to make space.

Xie Yangze, feeling offended, was about to get up and talk back when the English teacher entered from the doorway.

"All right, class is starting—please take your seats."
