Zombie Bodyguard
Chapter 371 - 370: Expulsion

Chapter 371: Chapter 370: Expulsion

If it were just a few students, they would never dare to denounce the people of the television station so loudly, as Su Shan was a well-known host familiar to everyone, seen everyday on television and somewhat of a celebrity in Xikou City, possibly even having fans present here.

But with numbers, it was different. The courage of a crowd of over a thousand people was boundlessly magnified, each daring to loudly scold the celebrity.

Originally, this matter was not greatly related to Su Shan, as she had been quite restrained from beginning to end, but unfortunately, she was implicated by her own assistant.

Not fearing a god-like enemy, but fearing pig-like teammates, Su Shan was also pit by Pan Hui.

Liu Ruming was the first to come back to her senses. She glanced around at the dense crowd and wisely did not scold them as a teacher, because she knew the students were too excited, and any further provocation could lead to them losing control.

She turned her gaze to Lin Tian. The encirclement of students was all caused by his words. Liu Ruming said softly, "Lin Tian, what issue can’t be resolved? Let them disperse first, everything is negotiable."

Su Shan also nodded subconsciously. As a host, she had been surrounded numerous times and knew that at times like this, no more provocative words should be spoken.

"Resolved? Just look at Assistant Pan’s expression. Do you think he will let me resolve it properly? He genuinely believes he is above us, thinking we are just students. That includes you, Host Su, and you, Teacher Ru Meng. To you, me and these classmates are merely students, and even if insulted, a casual placation could solve the issue," Lin Tian sneered.

He looked at several people, his voice gradually rising as he continued, "Students, huh? They must obediently obey, they don’t have the right to talk back, they don’t have the right to seek justice, because we’re just students!"

"But today, I must say, all that is total bullshit! What the hell is he to trample on our dignity like this, who gave him the audacity to say he’d spoil me, tarnish my reputation! Students also have their dignity, and it must not be trampled on!" Lin Tian thundered righteously, causing Pan Hui to retreat several steps in fright.

The surrounding students were deeply shaken by Lin Tian’s words. Who would dare to argue so justifiably in front of celebrities? They cheered for their Brother Tian, and some female students were even moved to tears, quieting the scene momentarily.

"Brother Tian spoke well!"

"Brother Tian is mighty!"

After the quiet, came the students’ loud cheers, followed by a round of applause that lasted a long time before ceasing.

Two beautiful figures squeezed into the crowd, namely Xiao Manxuan and Zhang Lingyu, the two little girls.

"Bad boy, you spoke wonderfully. I support you unconditionally," Xiao Manxuan said seriously, clenching her fists, while Zhang Lingyu looked at Lin Tian with a quizzical smile, thinking that indeed no one could get the better of him.

"Pan Hui, hurry up and apologize to student Lin Tian," Su Shan stated, speaking to Pan Hui in a low voice.

"Sister Sun, I..." Pan Hui was very unwilling and struggled to spit out a word.

Although Pan Hui was not a host, when some celebrities came to the television station for shows, they would be very polite to him. Even some minor celebrities or female anchors wanting fame would fawn over him, aiming to use that relationship to get opportunities on TV shows.

Yet, at this moment, a student was so dismissive of him, demanding an apology in front of a thousand students, making it really hard for him to swallow his pride.

After taking several deep breaths, Pan Hui’s expression turned cold again, and he sternly said, "Sister Sun, I will not apologize to him."

"You..." Su Shan choked on her words, almost unable to breathe.

She truly hadn’t anticipated that Pan Hui would make such a choice; although her assistant was always somewhat prideful, he was competent at his job, so Su Shan considered him a qualified assistant.

Yet, faced with the outrage of over a thousand students, he actually refused to apologize—a very unwise decision. She finally realized that her assistant wasn’t just prideful, but overly arrogant.

Liu Ruming’s brows furrowed again. She had been present at the scene and watched the entire event unfold, and obviously knew that Pan Hui was at fault. Initially, she thought a few kind words might defuse the situation, but hadn’t expected Lin Tian to be even more unyielding than she had imagined.

In Lin Tian, Liu Ruming seemed to see a sense of pride that tolerated no provocation. But upon closer inspection, in the depths of Lin Tian’s eyes, it appeared to be more complex than mere pride—it was an air of superiority.

Yes, it was the air of superiority. Liu Ruming clung tightly to this feeling, yet simultaneously couldn’t believe it. How could a student possess such an air?

Little did she know, Lin Tian’s true identity was a zombie, and by the logic of nature, he was a top predator in the food chain, positioned at the apex of the pyramid, looking down upon all beings.

Liu Ruming was confused, but this air of superiority was constantly present. The surrounding thousand students all looked up to him, influenced by this intangible, ungraspable air of authority, which subtly affected every student without their awareness.

Lin Tian was already being very restrained. Should he unabashedly unleash the oppressiveness of a zombie, Pan Hui, a mere mortal, would be scared out of his wits.

"Heh..." Lin Tian uttered indifferently, taking steps towards Pan Hui.

"Brother Tian, punish him..." The encircling students also shouted, amplifying Lin Tian’s authority.

"Brother Lin, beat him up..." Female students shouted even more aggressively, especially the little girl Xiao Manxuan.

The slight seriousness that Lin Tian had maintained was almost disrupted by these violent girls. Nowadays, never underestimate girls; they too can hold their own.

"Lin Tian, stay calm," Liu Ruming advised.

She wasn’t speaking up for Pan Hui—by this point, she herself wanted to give Pan Hui a couple of punches, but as a teacher, she couldn’t do so. Liu Ruming feared that if Lin Tian resorted to beating someone, he might end up looking like the unreasonable one, and that was why she intervened.

Just then, the crowd surrounding them gradually split apart, creating a pathway, and several individuals walked in from the outside.

The man leading the group was in his fifties, dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, tall but somewhat thin. The city official who’d spoken earlier and Principal Yan could only walk beside him, both showing respectful attitudes.

Lin Tian turned and recognized the middle-aged man—occasionally seen on television and in newspapers, he was indeed the top official of Xikou City.

"Students, what happened for you to gather here?" the middle-aged man asked the students calmly.

Before the students could respond, Pan Hui stepped forward and blurted out, "Secretary Luo, this student, the so-called ’good student’ by Principal Yan, Lin Tian, is causing a disturbance and threatening me here. I believe such a harmful influence should be expelled to prevent him from corrupting other students. Our students are the flowers of our nation, the future owners of society, and we cannot let someone like Lin Tian wreak havoc."
