Atlas of Heaven and Earth-Chapter 188: Tremors
On the Chengdong National Highway, the front of a stretched luxury car had a large dent. Mr. Chi was stuck inside. His expensive clothes were torn, his forehead was covered in blood, half of his face was swollen, and one eye was narrowed into a slit. He was panting heavily.
He tried to climb up a little and saw the sturdy figure standing steadily in front of him, seemingly about to make another move. He quickly raised his hand and said, "Stop, stop, stop..." He seemed to have touched a painful spot, hissed, and grimaced, saying, "I'm just trying to make a living, it hasn't come to this."
He reached around, picked up a broken watch from under him, looked at it, and threw it aside, saying, "It's almost six o'clock now, even if I rushed over, it would be too late."
After saying this, he saw the figure in front of him turn around and leave with steady steps.
Mr. Chi exhaled, looked up at the sky, and shouted loudly, "Hey, someone alive, get me a drink? I hate being in the sun in summer..."
Meanwhile, in Yangzhi City, the incident at the old factory area quickly spread outwards. In just a few hours, the entire Yangzhi City was almost in an uproar.
Because this incident was unprecedented, those who died this time were not just nobodies, but the children of the upper-class elites of Yangzhi City. And it wasn't just one or two people, but dozens of people, plus security personnel, at least nearly a hundred people.
Yangzhi City hadn't had such a major incident in many years.
It was late August, and Wuyi Academy hadn't started yet, but when this news came out, it caused a huge wave among the students.
What was the Mutual Aid Society?
It was the most powerful academy association formed by recommended students, a force that had been firmly entrenched above many students for decades.
According to subsequent reports, a total of thirty-seven members of the Mutual Aid Society died in this incident. Except for a few members who usually didn't care about things and were just figureheads, everyone with a name and surname was accounted for. So, the entire upper echelon of the Mutual Aid Society was, in effect, wiped out.
The students in the Academy weren't stupid. Just by looking at the address, they could roughly guess what had happened.
The place where Shen Zheng died three years ago was there. The Mutual Aid Society clearly wanted to replicate it this time, but they never expected to encounter an opponent beyond their expectations.
Many students had personally experienced Shen Zheng's incident back then. After learning about this, they were so excited that they couldn't control themselves, saying "Good riddance!"
Although they didn't know the specific details of the incident, they could imagine that last night, Chen Chuan faced hundreds of people alone, facing the pressure and threats of many members of the Mutual Aid Society, but he didn't succumb. Instead, he rose up in resistance, and with one knife each, he slaughtered all the upper echelons of the Mutual Aid Society!
Just thinking about this scene made their blood boil.
There were still a few days before the start of school, but many students couldn't sit still after receiving this news and came to the Academy early.
Not only that, but some students who had graduated a year or even several years ago also returned to the Academy. For many years, the Mutual Aid Society had used various means to suppress outstanding students, using all kinds of threats and inducements from the beginning of enrollment.
In this situation, students who were forced to join the Mutual Aid Society were still constrained by the agreements they had signed in the past after they left. Many people were angry but dared not speak out, and there was no way to resist.

But now that this result had occurred, it made them all excited and happy. At the same time, they admired Chen Chuan, who had done this, beyond measure.
There were also many freshmen who had moved into the school early. Some of them didn't understand why. After listening to the Senior Students' explanations, they learned about the Mutual Aid Society's actions and Shen Zheng's past.
Only after understanding these things and then thinking about what Chen Chuan had done today did they realize what a feat this senior had accomplished!
Even though they hadn't officially enrolled yet, they admired this senior immensely and wished they could go back to last night and fight alongside him.
But in addition to excitement, they couldn't help but worry about Chen Chuan. Some students said, "I heard that Chen Chuan classmate has been taken away by the Patrol Bureau, but he didn't do anything wrong!"
The students agreed, it was clear that the Mutual Aid Society had caused this, and in this incident, the Mutual Aid Society had mobilized at least a hundred people, but Chen Chuan was alone. It was clear who was persecuting whom!
"We want to submit a letter to the school leaders and the Government Affairs Hall, demanding that Chen classmate be released!"
"That's right, that's what we should do!"
"Yes, count me in!"
"Me too!"
While the students were discussing intensely, here at the administrative office building, in the Recruitment and Preparation Office, Bian Feng said to Gao Shi, "Lu Fang came to me. He hopes that our school leaders will come forward to protect Chen Chuan. I also think that we can't ignore this matter."
Gao Shi said in a deep voice, "You are all teachers of the Academy. I won't say whether this matter is right or wrong for now. You must first calm down and not be swayed by the emotions of the students."
Yue Hong said on the side, "But Gao Shi, aside from anything else, Chen Chuan is our Academy's student. He hasn't been convicted yet, and the situation is still uncertain. We can't just leave him alone!"
"What are you rushing for?"
Gao Shi slowly said, "Vice President Gu has already reported this matter to the Processing Bureau."
"Processing Bureau?"
The two teachers looked at each other. Although the Processing Bureau usually handles martial artists in society, the students in the school are also strictly under their management. In this case, they can intervene, so Chen Chuan won't be easily manipulated by those forces.
"Don't be too happy too soon."
Gao Shi said in a deep voice, "This matter is not that simple. You all know who is behind those students."
Those recommended students all come from the power families of Yangzhi City. Many people in their families hold important positions in the Government Affairs Hall or are simply council members of the Consultative Bureau.
And some of them are involved with companies and consortia in Central City, and even directly related to Molan Company.
The former is easier to deal with, but Molan Company is a conglomerate in Central City, with unimaginable energy. Most of the council members of the Consultative Bureau can be persuaded by them, thus influencing the entire Government Affairs Hall. If Molan Company comes forward, can the Processing Bureau withstand it? It's really hard to say.
At this moment, a voice came from outside, "I am here by the commission of the School Governing Council and must see Supervisor Gao now, please step aside." Along with a burst of noise, Director Jiang walked in from outside, looked at Gao Shi sitting there, and said, "Supervisor Gao."
Gao Shi looked at the person who came: "So it's Director Jiang, what's the matter?"
Director Jiang straightened his imported formal wear, took out a list and placed it on the table, saying: "I am here by the commission of a group of school directors, and the Academy's funders, to request the expulsion of student Chen Chuan."
Gao Shi asked: "What's the reason?"
Director Jiang sneered, "What's the reason, Supervisor Gao doesn't know?"
Gao Shi said in a deep voice: "If Director Jiang is referring to what happened yesterday, then there is no clear result yet, and I am not in a position to draw a conclusion."
"Conclusion? Isn't the matter obvious enough?"
Director Jiang slammed the table angrily, and said excitedly: "That Chen Chuan, killed thirty-seven excellent students alone, and dozens of security personnel who were loyal to their duties. How can you let such a brutal student continue to stay in the Academy?
The school directors must consider the safety of the Academy students, and must think about the reputation of the Academy. Now many funders doubt whether the Academy's management can manage the Academy well? Can the students be managed well?"
Gao Shi reached out and picked up the list, looked at it a few times, and then put it down. He said: "Only some of the school directors have signed on this, it doesn't represent the entire director's meeting's intention.
And if you really want to expel him, you must determine whether that student really did what Director Jiang you said, and the school's management must discuss it before a decision can be made, and not just these few light signatures."
Director Jiang said with a gloomy face: "Supervisor Gao, the influence of this incident is very large, and very bad. Not to mention you, some people behind you can't suppress it either. Now the director's meeting is giving you a chance, Supervisor Gao, you have to think clearly."
"Who wants to expel my student?"
With a voice coming, Cheng Zitong walked in through the door, still wearing those decorative sunglasses on his face, "Expel? Try expelling one! My student, Cheng Zitong's student, who dares to expel him!"
Director Jiang turned his head to look at Cheng Zitong, and sneered: "Supervisor Cheng, you are Chen Chuan's guidance teacher, right? Chen Chuan killed so many excellent students, you, as his guidance teacher, must also be responsible for this matter, you should think about how to get out of it."
Cheng Zitong didn't buy it at all: "Jiang Qing, don't give me this set, you can threaten others, but you can't threaten me, School Governing Council? My student, Cheng Zitong's student, I don't agree, no one can expel him!"
Director Jiang coldly said: "Supervisor Cheng, Wuyi Academy is not your Academy, you are not qualified to say this."
"I'm not qualified?" Cheng Zitong chuckled, took off his sunglasses, and slowly said: "My grandfather, Cheng Yunbai, is Wuyi Academy
At this moment, in the dormitory, Feng Xiaoqi ran into the dormitory anxiously and said to a group of classmates gathered here: "The School Governing Council sent that Director Jiang to Supervisor Gao, saying they want to expel Little Brother Chen!"
Wei Dong said: "Expel? I haven't been expelled, why should Little Brother Chen be expelled?"
Wu Han gritted his teeth and said: "Damn, Director Jiang, this birdman only does bad things! No, we have to think of a way."
"Yes, we have to think of a way."
Luo Kaiyuan listened to this sentence from the side, he didn't participate in the discussion, but walked out silently.
Half an hour later, Director Jiang walked out of the office building with a gloomy face. He was going to report what happened just now to several directors, but when he arrived at the parking lot, he found that his tires had been punctured. He couldn't help but curse and said to the driver following him: "Go call me a car."
The driver quickly went back to the office building to borrow the phone. Director Jiang waited there alone and looked at his watch at the same time.
And at this time, suddenly footsteps approached, he hadn't
reacted, and then there was a burst of dizziness, and then a fist hit his face. He spat out a few teeth with a poof, and then another punch hit his face, his eyes went dark for a while, and then
The person who did it got up, looked around, and left here unhurriedly.
When the driver came back, he found Director Jiang lying on the ground, with his face covered in blood. He couldn't help being shocked, and quickly went forward to help him up, shaking him and shouting: "Director Jiang, Director Jiang..."
In the dormitory, Feng Xiaoqi and the others were still discussing ways to help Chen Chuan. At this time, he turned his head and saw Luo Kaiyuan walking in from outside, and asked: "Little Brother Luo, where did you go? Where have you been?"
Luo Kaiyuan said: "It's nothing, I just went to the bathroom."
