Chapter 728: Chapter 725: The Principal’s Interrogation

The four of them coincidentally witnessing this scene was all part of Lin Tian’s calculations. The punch from Lai Xiucheng couldn’t possibly send him flying; it was Lin Tian who deliberately leaned back to create the illusion.

Lin Tian had been through battles beyond their imagination, crafting such a small illusion was a piece of cake for him.

He flew back directly towards Principal Yan, who, clenching his teeth, actually stepped forward intending to use his own body to block Lin Tian to prevent him from colliding with the wall.

Lin Tian also noticed Principal Yan’s intention and found it strange. Since when did the principal care so much for the students?

However, Lin Tian couldn’t truly crash into him. Principal Yan, being middle-aged and having sat at a desk for long periods, as well as frequently socializing, was not physically robust like those leaders and couldn’t withstand a collision.

Lin Tian tensed his waist and landed earlier than expected, but since the play must go on, upon landing, he staggered backward several steps, stopping "with difficulty" just before hitting the principal.

Lai Xiucheng was somewhat stunned by the power of his own punch. When had he become so powerful? However, the astonishment was fleeting and soon overwhelmed by rage. He didn’t wait for Lin Tian to regain his balance and charged forward, throwing another punch at Lin Tian.

"Stop!" Principal Yan shouted, trying to prevent the frenzied Lai Xiucheng.

But Lai Xiucheng wasn’t listening at all, and even if he knew it was Principal Yan who was reprimanding him, he couldn’t stop the momentum. He wasn’t an Ancient Martial master; a punch thrown with full force couldn’t be easily controlled.

With a "bang," another punch hit Lin Tian in the chest. With Principal Yan present, Lin Tian couldn’t overact, so he only stepped back a few paces, simultaneously sidestepping the principal.

"Security, restrain Doctor Lai immediately!" Principal Yan ordered sternly. He himself had spoken to stop the altercation, yet the school doctor blatantly disregarded him. He felt his authority as a school leader was severely challenged.

Especially in front of his subordinates and students, and the fact that it was Lin Tian who was being hit, made Principal Yan feel even more embarrassed.

Two young security guards quickly rushed forward, timely intercepting Lai Xiucheng’s attack. Lai Xiucheng had no martial arts skills, only some physical strength from training, but the two security guards weren’t pushovers. Each grabbed an arm, twisted forcefully, and had them restrained behind his back.

This Grapple Skill was a common technique in combat, manageable by anyone who underwent training. That the security guards knew basic grappling techniques didn’t surprise Lin Tian; after all, Xikou City High School was the best high school in the city, so the security guards they hired couldn’t be inept.

Lai Xiucheng, restrained by the security guards, instinctively tried to resist, but with a mere twist of his arm by the guards, he immediately bent over in pain, which brought him back to his senses.

"Principal Yan... I... he..." Lai Xiucheng tried to explain something, but with his arms held tightly by the guards, pain prevented him from completing his sentence.

Lin Tian sneered inwardly, ’You lecherous school doctor, now you’ve jumped into the Yellow River and can’t clean yourself. Daring to play games with me!’

He looked up, nodded in gratitude to the two security brothers and praised them, "Brothers, you’ve got impressive skills, quickly subduing Doctor Lai. Lin Tian is impressed; he really went crazy there for a moment, and I took several punches from him."

As a well-known figure at school, the two security brothers had heard of Lin Tian’s name. With Lin Tian’s praise, their impression of him rose several notches instantly.

One of the security brothers smiled and said, "Lin Tian, you flatter us. Protecting the students of the school is our duty; it’s what we’re supposed to do."

The security brothers, having a favorable view of Lin Tian and none for Lai Xiucheng who "assaulted" Lin Tian, applied a bit more pressure covertly, causing Lai Xiucheng to immediately burst into tears and snot.

"All right, let Doctor Lai go," Principal Yan instructed the guards, and they subsequently released him.

Although Principal Yan wanted to beat up Lai Xiucheng, as a principal, he had to maintain a just and stern image in front of the students and staff. He couldn’t let his aversion show too clearly.

"Good day, Principal Yan!"

"Hello, Principal Yan!"

People in the dormitory greeted Principal Yan one after another, including the wrapped-up Lai Xiucheng and the always-silent Guo Heng.

Principal Yan glanced over everyone, his gaze finally resting on Lin Tian. His serious expression then thawed into a smile as he said, "Lin Tian, are you alright?"

Lin Tian feigned pressing on his chest, then said, "I’m okay, thank you for your concern, Principal."

Hearing that Lin Tian was fine, Principal Yan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Lin Tian wasn’t hurt, everything else could be managed. If Lin Tian had been injured, he truly wouldn’t have known how to clean up this mess.

Of course, he had no idea that with Lin Tian’s skills, even being hit with an iron bar wouldn’t have hurt him, let alone a few punches.

Principal Yan then turned his head to look at Lai Xiucheng, the smile that had just appeared on his face disappearing again. He asked in an interrogative tone, "Doctor Lai, you weren’t on duty at the infirmary, so what brought you to the girls’ dormitory building?"

Lai Xiucheng’s eyes flickered, and he said righteously, "Principal Yan, I heard a report from a student that a student in Dorm 502 needed a medical consultation, so I came over. But before I could attend to the patient, these people barged in, and that Lin Tian, he beat me without so much as a word."

Chen Xiaorou couldn’t hold back anymore and wanted to stand up for Lin Tian, but he stopped her with a look. The young girl, inexperienced as she was, couldn’t understand the situation. No matter who was right or wrong, the principal was bound to put on a fair front, giving everyone a chance to explain.

Principal Yan said expressionlessly, "However, I just received a report from Lin Tian saying you barged into the girls’ dormitory, and regarding the assault, were you being beaten by Lin Tian just now?"

Lai Xiucheng was taken aback. No, it wasn’t. Just now, it was he who had hit Lin Tian, and the principal had caught him red-handed.

"Principal Yan, it’s not like that. Before you came, Lin Tian assaulted me first. I was forced to strike back in self-defense," Lai Xiucheng argued.

"You say Lin Tian assaulted you first, but what I saw just now was you hitting Lin Tian so hard he flew into the air. In that case, how could he have assaulted you?" Principal Yan asked coldly, causing Lai Xiucheng to freeze again. How could he not know how to make someone fly through the air?

Seeing that he was silent, Principal Yan pressed further, "You said Lin Tian assaulted you. Do you have any evidence of injuries on your body?"

"Yes, there are injuries, Lin Tian stepped on my leg earlier." Lai Xiucheng hurriedly rolled up his trouser leg, wanting to show the principal the injuries on his leg, but after rolling up his trouser leg, there were no injuries to be seen, and he was stunned once more.

Chen Xiaorou and others also widened their eyes in disbelief. Lai Xiucheng was clearly in a lot of pain just now, so how could there be no injuries?

Lin Tian watched with a cold laugh. There were countless ways to inflict pain without leaving a mark.

At first, Principal Yan somewhat believed that Lin Tian had hit Lai Xiucheng, but with the current situation, he had no belief whatsoever.

"Doctor Lai!" Principal Yan shouted angrily, "In my presence, you still dare lie to me!"
