Chapter 740: Chapter 737: The Worst Outcome

"Why are you so sure?" Xiao Manxuan asked curiously.

"If it were about delivering nutritional supplements to their children, they should be happy, even if the security guard doesn’t let them in. They wouldn’t be this angry. If I’m not mistaken, their visit has something to do with the poisoning of the frogs," Lin Tian speculated.

Xiao Manxuan frowned slightly and said, "Do they really not want to let those frogs go? Hasn’t Principal Yan already made a decision?"

"Let go? Heh, for the sake of their children’s college entrance exams, parents’ madness knows no bounds. Let’s go, I’m only guessing. The matter should be resolved soon," Lin Tian said indifferently, then walked into the school gate.

Those parents walked briskly, and as Lin Tian entered the campus, he saw that they had already passed through the tree-lined path of the school, heading towards the administration building. The principal’s office was there, which further confirmed his speculation.

In the classroom, the students were not studying books; instead, a group of them was surrounding Fatty Huang, gathered together and discussing something.

"Fatty, what’s the matter? What are you all chatting so excitedly about?" Lin Tian entered the classroom, put down his things, and asked casually.

"It’s still about yesterday’s issue. The rumor is that Principal Yan has decided not to poison the frogs, which should have been good news. But for some reason, this morning, a continuous stream of parents have been coming to the school to complain about the school’s inaction. I’ve seen quite a few groups already," Fatty Huang said, his tone clearly annoyed with those parents.

"You mean there have already been several groups?" Lin Tian asked, frowning.

Fatty Huang nodded affirmatively and said, "Yeah, all the groups combined, there must have been about thirty or so."

"That many in just a short time, won’t there be even more later?" Lin Tian said, surprised and puzzled. "Logically speaking, parents wouldn’t come to visit in droves over this issue; there might be scattered complaints. But the current situation is as if they had made an appointment to come in an organized manner, which clearly doesn’t make sense."

Hearing Lin Tian’s analysis, the others also felt it was abnormal. Fatty Huang spoke up, "I don’t know why either. Last night, my dad called, saying that several neighbors from our complex suddenly came to him, asking my dad to join them in complaining at the school the next day, their children all attend our school."

"Your dad came too?" Lin Tian asked, surprised. Seeing Fatty Huang’s carefree character, his father should not be the type to hold a grudge against frogs.

"No, my dad told me, if my college entrance exam gets affected by a mere frog’s croak, I might as well give up. What’s the use of going to university if you’re that fragile? The world is a thousand times tougher than this. If someone disturbs your work, are you going to kill them too?" Fatty Huang imitated his dad’s tone and said methodically.

Though the words were a bit extreme, Lin Tian thought they made a lot of sense, because he had experienced the hardships of society, and those parents simply didn’t understand this principle.

"No matter what, let the school handle this. I’ll just focus on attending class and reviewing," Lin Tian said, appearing indifferent, then returned to his seat and sat down.

Zhang Lingyu glanced at him and whispered, "Lin Tian, don’t you find the parents’ reactions a bit strange?"

"It is strange, as if someone organized them to come here together," Lin Tian replied.

Zhang Lingyu smiled and said, "I have a hunch that you’re in trouble."

"Are you saying those parents came for me?" Lin Tian retorted.

"Hard to say, but if someone told those parents that it was because of you that the principal gave up on poisoning the frogs, do you think they would target you? If someone else stirred things up, would the parents not direct all their anger at you?" Zhang Lingyu asked rhetorically, with each question making sense.

As if knowing what was going through Lin Tian’s mind, Zhang Lingyu added, "Don’t take it lightly. In face of such a thing, having high martial skills is useless. Can you beat all the parents? If you dared to beat all the parents, you’d be condemned by the media even if you were the son of the president or the Crown Prince and become a villain the public despises."

"No matter what good you have done for them before, in that situation, it’s all for nothing. People will show their most selfish side in full, forgetting your good deeds and only remembering what they deem bad about you now, and then they will criticize you."

"It’s like those sports champions, heroes of the arena. Regardless of how much glory they’ve brought to the country and the people, once they fail once, they are immediately vilified by the media and the public, turning from a hero to a loser," Zhang Lingyu said, seemingly cautioning Lin Tian.

"Sister Yu, it can’t be that serious, can it?" Xiao Manxuan said worriedly, and she was also very regretful because it was she who had begged Lin Tian to persuade the principal to give up the poisoning of the frogs, and she felt she had caused trouble for Lin Tian.

Lin Tian patted her hand to comfort her, "It’s okay, she’s just trying to scare people."

Though he said that, Lin Tian knew that Zhang Lingyu’s words did have some truth.

But this wasn’t Xiao Manxuan’s fault; she had acted out of kindness, and Lin Tian also knew his own character. Even if Xiao Manxuan hadn’t mentioned it, he would have gotten involved in the matter of poisoning the frogs for another reason.

Besides, a mere group of parents did not concern Lin Tian. He was no longer the weak Lin Tian of the past.

"Xuanxuan, I’m just speculating. Don’t overthink it. Besides, with Lin Tian’s rogue character, do you really think he could suffer a loss?" Zhang Lingyu said, smiling reassuringly.

While this reassured Xiao Manxuan, Lin Tian was not pleased. What did she mean by ’rogue character’? Was that a compliment or an insult?

"Zhang Lingyu, if you lose to me in the mock exam, I’ll show you just how ’rogue’ I can be. Don’t beg for mercy then," Lin Tian said with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"Let’s see if you have the ability to beat me first," Zhang Lingyu said confidently.

Lin Tian just smiled and didn’t argue with her any further. Such a proud little girl—if he took her first kiss, he wondered how she would react. The thought made him quite anticipatory.

The class continued with the monotonous review as usual. The last class of the day was English. Liu Ruming, dressed in uniform with a women’s shirt and skirt, was curvaceous and as always, sexy and beautiful.

Other classes were looking forward to the last period ending quickly, but Class 3-1 actually wished it were longer. A beautiful teacher, who was also good at teaching—such a person was hard to find.

While everyone was focused on the lesson, suddenly, a noisy commotion came from outside the classroom. The noise grew louder and seemed to be coming from many people walking towards the 3-1 classroom.
