Chapter 80: Chapter 79: The Campus Attack Reaches the Star Network, Alarming the Imperial Family

Anxiety began to build within Lin Zhenxiang.

The longer this dragged on, the more unfavorable the situation became for her.

However, after secretly sizing up the situation, she felt she wasn’t necessarily at a disadvantage.

She still had the massive power of public opinion behind her. To destroy someone, she didn’t even need to get her own hands dirty! Besides, she held iron-clad evidence to clear her name!

’That trash from the Lower Star District is all talk. So what if she has Wen Miaomiao and You Dan with her? She’s still scum.’

’If I play my cards right, it might even be possible to send that trash and the lunatic who attacked her to an interstellar prison!’

It was as if Lin Zhenxiang could see Lady Luck herself, beckoning to her.

She lowered her gaze, a calculating glint flashing in her eyes. A moment later, tears streamed down her face like pearls from a broken string.

Wan Shanyan comforted her. "Lin Zhenxiang, don’t be afraid. Your classmates and teachers are all here!"

Lin Zhenxiang shook her head gently, sniffling and gasping for breath. "I never thought... Sister Shu would do this to me..."

It was as if Shu Yao had truly done something terrible to her!

Wan Shanyan shot Shu Yao a stern look.

The campus police arrived.

Lin Zhenxiang was secretly overjoyed.

Eager to make a scene, Huo Jiao jumped out, pointed at Shu Yao’s group, and tattled to the campus police.

"It’s them! Arrest them, quickly! Don’t hold up our class!"

The campus police officer glanced at her, then swept his gaze impassively over the area. He raised a megaphone and announced to the entire floor:

"Everyone, remain where you are! Do not move! I repeat, everyone, remain where you are and do not move!"

Lin Zhenxiang froze.

Wan Shanyan was also taken aback. She walked up to the officer and asked, "What’s going on?"

The officer replied in a formal tone, "This campus assault incident was uploaded to the Star Network and has attracted the attention of the Imperial Family. A special investigation team established by the Imperial Family will be arriving shortly. Besides the attacker and the victim, everyone present is a witness. No one is permitted to leave their current position!"

Wan Shanyan’s expression relaxed. She felt this was a perfectly appropriate way to handle the situation.

But a hidden light flickered in Lin Zhenxiang’s eyes as she suddenly spoke up. "But we have class. You can’t just delay our lessons, can you?"

The officer glanced at her and said to all the teachers and students, both inside and outside the classroom, in a loud, impartial voice, "These are special circumstances, and they will be treated as such. I trust that with the full cooperation of all teachers and students, this matter will be resolved quickly."

Lin Zhenxiang bit her lip, a sense of foreboding rising within her.

Outside the academic building, two Flying Machines landed.

A squad of Star Warriors moved in and quickly secured the scene.

Seeing the arrivals, Edgar was overjoyed. He immediately shouted, "Brother!"

Yerman’s eyes crinkled as he grinned, revealing his canines.

Just then, a sudden burst of screams erupted from outside the classroom.

"AHHHH!"

"It’s the Commander-in-Chief!"

"The Commander-in-Chief actually came to our school!"

Qin Shiwei strode into the classroom as if he owned the place. His gaze swept over Shu Yao and paused for a fraction of a second. Something seemed to melt in the depths of his eyes, but then his expression settled, and it was as if nothing had happened.

Seeing his chance to show off, Edgar ran to Yerman’s side and blustered, "Brother, perfect timing! Hurry up and arrest them!"

Yerman studied his face. "What happened to your face?"

Edgar shot a triumphant, vicious glare at You Dan. "He’s the one who did it!"

A sinister glint appeared in Yerman’s eyes, but it vanished as he broke into a dazzling, sunny grin. "Mr. Qin, You Dan is one of the Empress’s people. It’s not my place to get involved. What’s your take on this?"

The You and Austin families were political rivals.

Qin Shiwei shot him a cold glance. "Am I here to mediate the conflict between the You and Austin families?"

Yerman’s smile faded. "My apologies. I was too eager to protect my own."

With that, he glanced at Edgar, who was standing beside him.

Edgar went deathly quiet, not daring to meet his gaze.
