Outside the main gate of the Black Gold Academy's Martial Arts Department, two teaching assistants were chatting.
“Do you think Principal Wei is hiding some real treasure that even the supervisor couldn't resist stealing?”
The other teaching assistant replied, “With the Principal, what isn't a treasure? Even a bit squeezed from his teeth could be enough for us to live off for half a lifetime. It's no wonder the supervisor was tempted.”
“I also heard before that Principal Wei had a clandestine relationship with a young lady from our school. Perhaps what's hidden isn't something valuable, but a stunning beauty.”
“Wow, that's explosive! But… it’s not impossible.”
“I think so too, haha…”
As they were enthusiastically discussing, a voice suddenly cut in, “How about I invite you to the principal’s office to take a good look and see what’s really hidden inside? Would that be alright?”
The voice carried a chilling authority, calm yet terrifying.
The two teaching assistants followed the sound and, upon seeing the speaker, shivered in fright. “Greetings, Principal Wei!”
Wei Changhe looked at the two before him, hands clasped behind his back. “The door to my principal’s office hasn’t been installed yet. Would you two like to take a look inside and see if there’s anything you fancy?”
Looking back now, the God of War indeed had foresight. When the security team members arrived, he had directly left the principal’s office. Otherwise, if he had encountered the security team members, the news and rumors would have spread even more wildly.
He couldn’t deal with Kui Dian and couldn't share the burden of the God of War.
However, this was Black Gold Academy, and these were teaching assistants he had hired to instruct students. Although their status was lower than teachers, they were still role models. To spread baseless rumors and gossip like this, he felt it was his duty to teach them a lesson!
The teaching assistants quickly said, “We, we were just talking. We wouldn’t dare.”
“Yes, yes, that’s right. We apologize, Principal Wei, we didn’t mean anything else. I just have a loose tongue, a loose tongue…”
Wei Changhe said indifferently, “Black Gold Academy always values both ability and character when recruiting teachers. If you don’t wish to continue, you are free to leave at any time. Have you not memorized the Black Gold Academy Teacher’s Code of Conduct before joining? Without understanding the truth, you comment on others with malicious words. If you yourselves are not upright, how can you properly teach the students of Black Gold Academy?”
At these words, the two teaching assistants immediately stepped forward, so agitated that they almost knelt before Wei Changhe. “Principal Wei, we dare not anymore. We will never again spread unverified rumors.”
Another one slapped himself on the face. “Yes, we will never speak carelessly again. We will definitely hold ourselves to the standards of Black Gold Academy!”
Wei Changhe glanced at them coldly. “You will either copy the Black Gold Academy’s rules and teacher’s code ten times, or you will voluntarily submit your resignation. Stay in your dormitories for the next few days, and you may leave once the school officially reopens.”
The two teaching assistants felt as if they had been granted a great pardon. “No, no, no, Principal Wei, we’ll go back and copy the books right now.”
“Yes, yes, yes, we are willing to copy the books.”
It was a joke. The salary and benefits offered by Black Gold School were incomparable to any other place. If they had a choice, why would they be willing to leave?
After speaking, they fled as if being chased, afraid that Wei Changhe would change his mind and dismiss them on the spot.
After the two left, Wei Changhe let out a deep sigh.
Indeed, the God of War was right. He had always been in a high position, trying every means to bring the best resources and talents to Black Gold Academy, unwilling to admit that the academy itself had problems.
Now, instead of searching for talent and attracting investment to build Black Gold Academy, it would be better to improve the school itself.
With that thought, he headed towards the teaching office where the Martial Arts Department and Medical Department were merged.
Yesterday, he had dealt with Wei Lai and the supervisor. To be safe, he had directly denied Wei Lai’s memories of Bai Xi and Han Mo, saying that he had dreamed it after being knocked unconscious by the supervisor. Wei Lai insisted on his own account, but was eventually made to doubt his own memory through a conversation with him and the captain of the security team.
Like the saying “three people talking about a tiger,” his memory had been altered. After things settled down, he would have to apologize to him properly.
As for the person who attempted to attack the supervisor, he was directly handed over to the captain of the security team for proper handling and was confined in a temporary controlled facility within Black Gold Academy, approved by the Capital Security Bureau.
From yesterday until today, he had been waiting for Bai Xi’s instructions, but Bai Xi seemed to have no intention of contacting him.
Therefore, he had come to check on them.
Honestly, he had been a little worried about Han Mo. Han Mo was too young and lacked any particularly outstanding qualifications to hold the fort. Thus, he had planned to personally come and supervise today.
After all, many of the students here were invited by him at great expense. They were originally well-known in the medical field and were naturally very proud. Perhaps they had some reservations when they didn’t understand Han Mo’s background. However, if they knew that apart from being a student of Elder Gao, he had no prior published papers or international awards, these brats would likely cause trouble.
Han Mo’s qualifications were indeed ordinary, but he possessed the compassion of a healer and had saved his life. Moreover, he was the God of War’s little darling. He definitely couldn’t let him suffer any grievances.
Therefore, he strode with elegant steps to the Martial Arts Department’s lecture hall, intending to be the “stabilizing force” for the Martial Arts Department’s classes.
Expecting chaos, he found the classroom discipline to be impeccable. In fact, no one even noticed his presence when he entered.
Just as he was puzzled, Han Mo seemed to notice his arrival, gave him a slight smile, and nodded gently. The reflection of his metal-rimmed glasses shimmered, making him look elegant and distinguished.
He put down his pencil and smiled on the raised platform, saying, “Is there anything else you don’t understand?”
Wei Changhe: “……”
Such a harmonious classroom, how could this be? Had all these arrogant students of Black Gold School been secretly replaced by Han Mo since the classes began?
Even when Elder Gao taught, these brats weren’t this quiet, were they? Could it be because of Han Mo’s looks, which were enough to attract the admiration of the Dark Department’s God of War?
As he was pondering this, a familiar voice suddenly spoke, “Teacher Han, could you please repeat the method you mentioned for clearing blood clots by unblocking blood vessels with silver needles after a severe head injury causing significant intracranial hemorrhage, in order to minimize the mortality and disability rates? I didn’t have time to write it down just now.”
Wei Changhe frowned, finding the voice very familiar, and… it seemed somewhat aged.
Did their Medical Department have students of that age? He didn’t recall.
He couldn’t help but look in the direction of the voice. It was an astonishing sight. The person who had just asked the question was none other than Elder Gao.
Elder Gao… attending Han Mo’s class here? And asking him questions? Saying he didn’t have time to write it down?
What… what was going on? Was the poison from last night not completely cleared, causing him to hallucinate now?
