Chapter 821 - Chapter 821 Chapter 821 The People I Teach Are Never Weaklings

Chapter 821: Chapter 821: The People I Teach Are Never Weaklings Chapter 821: Chapter 821: The People I Teach Are Never Weaklings The sudden incident took everyone by surprise, arriving without a hint of warning and startling everyone present.

It was only then that they reacted, turning to see who had kicked in the door.

In the next second, the faces of those who recognized the person flashed with shock, truly not expecting this individual to suddenly appear.

It was indeed an unexpected turn.

But no…

How did she get here?

Qiao Yun’s expression remained calm, showing no sign of surprise; as she lifted her eyes, her gaze met Han Wang’s.

Seeing Professor Qiao looking at her, Han Wang’s usually icy face revealed a rare smile.

It almost seemed as if a naughty child had instantly become well-behaved upon seeing their mother.

This inexplicable change of face made everyone feel a hint of confusion, but soon Han Wang gathered her smile as if nothing had happened at all.

It must have been an illusion; how could Professor Han possibly be smiling so tenderly at Qiao Yun? They must have seen it wrong.

Some who knew Han Wang were the first to ask, “Professor Han, when did you also decide to attend the event? How come I didn’t see you earlier?”

If they had known that Tianqi’s Han Wang was at the event, they wouldn’t have let a young girl handle the virus.

A group of esteemed experts being outperformed by a high school graduate was truly embarrassing.

Han Wang glanced at the person who asked the question, her voice so chilling it sent shivers down spines: “No, I just arrived.”

Everyone: ???

Wasn’t there something off about that statement?

The cruise ship had been at sea for hours now, so how did she come aboard?

Climbed up?

After receiving the instruction from Professor Qiao, Han Wang immediately came over by helicopter, and the sudden descent of such an aircraft startled many.

This included Huo Chi, who, thinking that Han Luo had finally managed to decode the virus and was willing to show his face, had risen from his bed.

Just out of bed, Huo Chi was dressed in a shirt and trousers, with the collar undone, adding a touch of disarray. With a cynical smile on his face, he caught sight of Han Wang and a glint of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

This aloof queenlike demeanor was exactly his type.

Hearing the others calling her Professor Han, he immediately thought of Tianqi Research Institute’s Han Wang.

Han Luo hadn’t been wrong; Han Wang was indeed a great beauty.

Although the meeting wasn’t as he had anticipated, Tianqi’s representative had finally made an appearance.

With many thoughts whirling through his mind, he was about to approach her on behalf of the Huo Family when he heard Han Wang, emotionless, ask with a stern face, “Who is Han Luo?”

The crowd was taken aback again. What was going on?

She arrived and immediately asked for Han Luo, could it be that Han Luo was truly Professor Qiao’s student?

Han Luo also recognized Han Wang, and never expected to encounter her.

It was common knowledge that Tianqi’s people kept out of the public eye, and even Han Wang could only be met by high-ranking government officials.

This was also why he had been so brazen until now.

But now…

While Han Luo mulled over this, Huo Chi raised an eyebrow, saying, “Is Professor Han here to catch up with her junior brother?”

Han Wang let out a sneer: “Junior brother?”

Huo Chi looked at Han Luo reproachfully, “Han Luo, your senior sister has finally decided to show herself, aren’t you going to say anything?”

Han Luo licked his dry lips and met Han Wang’s gaze as he looked over.

Under Han Wang’s icy stare, he felt as though a great weight was pressing down on him.

Han Wang was here under Professor Qiao’s orders and wasted no words, asking directly, “You’ve been claiming to be Professor Qiao’s student?”

Han Luo’s voice was hoarse the moment he spoke, “I…”

As the word ‘I’ passed his lips, no one could see how Han Wang had moved.

They only saw her stride toward Han Luo with a vigorous step.

Then she lifted her foot and kicked fiercely towards Han Luo’s lower body.

“Whoa.”

Everyone present was shocked by Han Luo’s action and subconsciously took a step back.

Some even covered their lower halves as if they were the ones being kicked.

Then, they watched with wide eyes as Han Wang swung a fist that heavily struck Han Luo’s face.

Han Luo, a man over six feet tall, didn’t even have a chance to resist. He cried out in pain as he clutched his groin and staggered several steps backward, his face twisted in agony.

The crowd: “…”

Is Professor Han really this brutal?

People in the circle have said that those from Tianqi Research Institute are not to be messed with, and today they had truly witnessed it.

They were utterly merciless.

Looking back at Han Wang.

She rubbed her fists and looked down on the pained Han Luo with disdain, as if she was looking at an ant.

Li Hanzhou was facing a student of Qiao Yun for the first time and asked with some surprise, “Are all the people from Tianqi this ferocious?”

Qiao Yun’s voice carried a hint of pride, “The people I teach are never weak.”

Li Hanzhou held his forehead and pretended to have a headache, “It seems my days ahead won’t be easy, kiddo. You’re going to have to protect me.”

Qiao Yun glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, knowing full well he was putting on an act, yet still she patted his hand soothingly and said with utter seriousness, “Don’t be afraid, it’ll pass if you just endure.”

Li Hanzhou: “…”

Han Wang narrowed her eyes, staring directly at Li Hanzhou with a complicated look that was certainly not friendly.

Li Hanzhou raised an eyebrow, his handsome features lifting, and he leaned closer to Qiao Yun under Han Wang’s unsatisfied gaze, asking in a low and seductive voice, “Did you call her here?”

Qiao Yun gave him a sidelong glance, clearly meaning ‘Isn’t that obvious?’

She spoke nonchalantly, “I wasn’t in a position to do it, so it was appropriate for her to take the lead.”

Qiao Yun had no intention of revealing her identity in front of these people, as it would likely bring a lot of trouble for her.

Since Han Luo had claimed to be her student, it was the most persuasive for a real student of Professor Qiao to come forward and identify him.

Han Luo probably never anticipated that Han Wang would show up; otherwise, he would never have agreed to Huo Chi’s plan.

Li Hanzhou’s lips curved up, his mood inexplicably improved.

His little friend didn’t need him to do anything and could still dominate the situation all by herself; she truly was the person he liked.

When Han Wang launched her combo.

It wasn’t just Huo Chi who was dumbfounded.

All the people present were looking at each other, wondering if this was a case of fratricide.

Seeing that Han Wang was about to strike again, Huo Chi frowned, his face darkening, “What do you mean by this? Attacking my man without asking the owner’s permission.”

As he finished speaking, a swarm of bodyguards rushed in, eyeing Han Wang warily.

Jiang Shaocheng, as a co-organizer, saw that the situation was about to spiral out of control and immediately stepped forward to mediate, “Professor Han, let’s talk this out.”

Li Hanzhou looked over to see that Qiao Yun was still calm and collected, like someone watching a drama unfold, and with a slight curl of his lips, he remained silent.

Jiang Shaocheng continued to persuade, “After all, you and Han are from the same sect. I’m sure Professor Qiao doesn’t want to see her disciples clashing with each other.”

Han Wang was not at all afraid of being outnumbered. Upon hearing Jiang Shaocheng’s words, her expression turned even colder, as she mercilessly clarified, “Who acknowledged him as a student of my teacher?”

This statement left everyone present completely baffled.

Han Luo’s back was already seeping with layers of cold sweat, and with great difficulty, he squeezed out a sentence, “I know you are resentful about the incident from that year, but the truth isn’t like that. Let’s go over there, and I’ll explain it to you clearly. Whatever you want afterwards, I will agree to it.”

He was still somewhat clever.

This remark easily led people to speculate that they had a grudge, which was why Han Wang denied that Han Luo was Professor Qiao’s student.

Even Huo Chi, who had begun to suspect something, was deceived by Han Luo.

And the latter part of the statement was a veiled way of telling Han Wang, just keep your mouth shut now, and later, whatever you want, I’ll give it to you.

Han Luo did not fall for his trick at all, his eyes filled with scorn, “You think I covet the little benefits from you?”

Han Luo’s expression changed.

“The surname bestowed by Professor Qiao, you think you’re worthy of it?”

Han Wang’s voice was laden with undisguised scorn and fury as she looked at the crowd and spoke unhurriedly, “I’ll tell you, he was indeed once a part of Tianqi Research Institute, but he was never my teacher’s student and his real name isn’t Han Luo–it’s Qi Luo.”

These words shocked everyone present once again.

Huo Chi looked at Han Luo with a very unpleasant gaze, “Give me an explanation!”

Han Luo’s face went pale, and the entire person stood there trembling with anger, still trying to argue weakly, “She’s lying to you, I truly am Professor Qiao’s student, without a doubt!”

“Don’t slander my teacher,”

Han Luo said unkindly, “You told them that your research results were stolen by someone, but my teacher shielded the thief, and that’s why you left Tianqi Research Institute?”

Han Luo was so anxious that fine sweat broke out on his forehead, and he failed to answer immediately, so others answered for him.

“Yes, he did say that.”

“Is that really true or false?”

“If Professor Qiao really shielded a thief, that would be utterly disappointing.”

Han Wang nodded to tell them, “It’s true.”

Everyone was taken aback.

What?

Did Professor Qiao really protect someone?

Under their astonished expressions, Han Wang continued, “However, it’s not someone else who plagiarized him; he plagiarized someone else, and that’s why he was expelled from Tianqi Research Institute.”

The scene was in an uproar.

No one expected the truth to be like this.

Han Luo’s mind went blank, the day had still come; the secret he had been hiding for so long was laid bare.

Back then he was too eager to prove himself, to make Professor Qiao see his talent, that in a moment of confusion, he had submitted the research findings of a fellow researcher first under his own name.

But what he hadn’t expected was that Tianqi conducted strict checks on everyone’s research findings, and when it came down to it, they found that he was the thief and expelled him.

Initially, to gain the Huo Family’s favor, he lied about being Professor Qiao’s student.

Anyway, once he had shown his worth, even if the truth came out, he reckoned the Huo Family would be reluctant to give him up.

But he absolutely did not want to be exposed now; it wasn’t part of his plan.

Han Luo looked down, his throat dry, and said with a troubled look, “I know you don’t like me, but there’s no need to slander me.”

Han Luo laughed coldly, “Have you forgotten that all your criminal actions from back then were recorded by the surveillance? Luckily, I brought the video here.”

Han Luo’s face underwent a myriad of changes in an instant.

Seeing his reaction, how could anyone remain unclear?

It turns out this was indeed a swindler!

The Huo Family actually employed a swindler full of nonsense; then, could the Huo Family still be trusted?

It really made people doubt.

The crowd involuntarily turned their gaze toward Huo Chi with a kind of scrutiny that wasn’t ill-intentioned.

Someone discontentedly interrogated Han Luo, “If you did it, just admit it. Why did you have to slander Professor Qiao just now? Your intentions are condemnable!”

“Good thing I didn’t believe it, otherwise I would’ve been at fault.”

“This event is hosted by the Huo Family, could it be they want to take this chance to target Tianqi?”

“Indeed, that makes sense. Otherwise, how would he dare to slander Professor Qiao at the event.”

That was actually the truth.

Huo Chi indeed organized this event intending to target Tianqi.

Now, because of the wild speculations about Han Luo, he silently cursed all of Han Luo’s ancestors in his heart.

But since Han Luo was now employed by the Huo Family, any issues should be resolved privately, absolutely not brought to the public.

The Huo Family couldn’t afford to be impacted by Han Luo’s identity.

Although Huo Chi was irresponsible, he was somewhat lucid and made a decisive comment, “Now that the virus has been dealt with, we won’t trouble everyone any longer. Please head to the rest area for a while. As for Han Luo’s issue, it is our Huo Family’s matter, and we will investigate it later.”

He gave a signal, and the bodyguards who followed were ready to step forward and ask them to leave.

Even if they were asked to leave, Han Luo’s scandal couldn’t be kept a secret.

In just a short while, everyone would probably know Han Luo was a fraud.

Huo Chi had already made a decision in his heart.

If the situation escalated, he could only sacrifice Han Luo.

As for his older brother’s side, he expected he was going to suffer, after all, it was he who introduced Han Luo to the Huo Family.

Huo Chi was furious inside; he had been deceived by Han Luo!

Qiao Yun had been silent until Huo Chi wanted to expel the guests, then she spoke slowly, “Aren’t you going to explain the source of the virus?”

Qiao Yun’s words reminded everyone: they were all too shocked by Han Luo’s incident that they almost forgot how the apocalypse could occur on such a day when so many important figures were gathered.

It was really hard not to suspect that there was a conspiracy.

Huo Chi frowned and instinctively looked at Qiao Yun, blurting out, “What does this have to do with you?”

Qiao Yun raised an eyebrow, remaining calm as she replied, “How is it unrelated?”

Her creation had been used for evil deeds; as the creator, she naturally had the responsibility to eliminate the real culprit.

Professor Xu spoke up for Qiao Yun, “Mr. Huo, if it weren’t for Miss Qiao today, we all would have been doomed.”

Huo Chi was stunned, “What do you mean?”

Professor Xu explained, “It was Miss Qiao who cracked the virus. Everyone’s lives were saved by her.”

Now Huo Chi was genuinely surprised. He first glanced at Han Luo, then looked at Qiao Yun with astonishment.

How different the reality was from what he had expected!

Who was this troublemaker that had emerged from nowhere?

And Han Luo, who had so confidently assured there would be no problem, ended up being upstaged by a young girl!

Huo Chi said irritably, “As for the virus, we will conduct an investigation…”

Before he could finish his evasive response, a deep, oppressive voice rang out.

“What if I want to know now?”

Huo Chi followed the sound, and the coldness in Li Hanzhou’s profound eyes sent a shiver down his spine.

Now that the head of the Li Family had spoken, even if he was unwilling, he indeed couldn’t do much about it.

But so what? There was no way they could find out the cause.

He was completely confident in his heart.

Yet Qiao Yun spoke concisely, piercing through the pretense, “The virus was deliberately implanted.”
