For two consecutive days, things were peaceful.
Yan Shouyi had expected retaliation from the Bai family to come quickly. However, the reality was that for two full days, everything was calm, and nothing happened.
Long Feicheng analyzed this as the calm before the storm. But after careful consideration, Yan Shouyi felt they might have overestimated the strength of the mysterious person who had kidnapped Huang Shihui that night.
This mysterious person was not very strong. Therefore, he could not control the Bai family's Ghost King team that night. He could only "guide" the Ghost King to pass by. If he told the Bai family's Ghost King that Yan Shouyi had killed the minor ghost, he himself, the culprit, would be in big trouble!
Hence, the harsh words spoken by the mysterious person at the time were just empty threats. In fact, the person most afraid of the Bai family's Ghost King knowing that the minor ghost was killed by Yan Shouyi was that very mysterious person!
With this realization, Yan Shouyi was no longer worried.
He asked Xia Zhi to find a way to extract the mysterious person's identity from Principal Tang. Unfortunately, Principal Tang's lips were sealed, and he refused to reveal any truth. Even regarding the Huang Song case, he was extremely brief with his words, making Xia Zhi's progress exceptionally slow.
Yan Shouyi did have a way to make Principal Tang speak willingly, a simple spell would suffice. However, the Huang Song case was already a huge sensation online, and Principal Tang, as a key suspect, was under strict police surveillance. Therefore, Xia Zhi could not bring Yan Shouyi in to "use private punishment" on Principal Tang.
During these two days, Lin Zhitong also frequently appeared around Yan Shouyi to "show her face."
Sometimes she would bring her good friend Lu Caiwei.
Ever since the incident in the girls' dormitory that night, Lu Caiwei deeply admired Yan Shouyi. Every time she saw Yan Shouyi with Lin Zhitong, her eyes sparkled.
Yan Shouyi's reaction to this was rather indifferent. He intentionally or unintentionally maintained a distance from both of them, even deliberately avoiding Lin Zhitong at times.
He always felt that being engaged, he shouldn't have too much involvement with Lin Zhitong.
Another thing worth mentioning is that Security Guard Wei had disappeared.
After Principal Tang was arrested, Brother Wei also vanished. When Yan Shouyi inquired about him with other security guards, the answer was that he had gone home to visit relatives.
However, Yan Shouyi vaguely felt that things were not that simple. He was certain that Brother Wei was related to the Huang Song case, but he did not know how deeply involved they were.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was Saturday.
This was precisely the day the mysterious Taoist from the girls' dormitory was supposed to appear!
During the day, Shanghang Art School was decorated with festive lanterns. Early in the morning, Yan Shouyi received a call from Du Ping, asking him to bring people to maintain order at the school entrance.
When Yan Shouyi appeared at the school gate with a group of security guards, he was stunned by the scene before him.
Outside the vast school gate, there was a sea of people, all young girls averaging under twenty years old. They held signs, shouted slogans, jostled against each other, and craned their necks to look. The atmosphere was even more lively than a vegetable market.
"Who are they?" Yan Shouyi asked Du Ping.
Du Ping, wearing a white shirt, his back already soaked with sweat, adjusted his glasses and said in exasperation:
"Fans of the big star Dong Xi. Yesterday, Dong Xi announced on social media that he would return to our school for a lecture, and his fans flocked here early this morning. This popularity..."
The school gate was thronged with people. Forget about cars, even people could not squeeze through. Students coming to school and teachers teaching were all blocked outside.
Long Feicheng muttered, "That effeminate guy actually has so many fans. I smoked half a pack of cigarettes last night and still couldn't figure out where I went wrong."
Du Ping glared at Long Feicheng. "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. If you dare to say a single bad word about Dong Xi in front of his fans now, do you believe his fans will beat you to death?"
"It's not that exaggerated, is it..." Long Feicheng maintained a tough stance verbally, but he was already intimidated in his heart.
Yan Shouyi frowned, turned around, and said to the security guards he brought, "Everyone, let's go together and clear a path so our teachers and students can enter and exit normally."
The security guards were quite obedient and immediately began to act. However, with thousands of fans surrounding the school gate, it was impossible for a mere dozen security guards to move them even an inch.
Some fans even became dissatisfied, leading to verbal altercations with the security guards.
Du Ping saw this scene but deliberately pretended not to notice. A hint of schadenfreude appeared on his face, as if he was waiting to see Yan Shouyi make a fool of himself.
"These guys are crazy about chasing stars!" Long Feicheng said indignantly.
Yan Shouyi looked at Du Ping. "Dong Xi has caused such chaos in the school, don't the school leaders care?"
Du Ping smiled. "Dong Xi is a popular young star now, and he's also an alumnus of Shanghang Art School. Naturally, the school leaders want to gain some prestige from him. The school directors don't take Dong Xi seriously, but they also don't take Shanghang Art School seriously. So, those who can manage don't, and those who can't are incapable of managing. It is what it is!"
Yan Shouyi realized that the entire school was now passing this mess on to him, a mere security captain, to manage.
At this moment, Yan Shouyi noticed that behind the fans, Lin Zhitong was sitting in a Bentley, looking somewhat anxious.
Yan Shouyi thought for a moment, took out his phone, and sent a text to Lin Zhitong: "Are you in a hurry to get into school?"
Lin Zhitong quickly replied: "There's a very important exam today, but the car can't get into the school, and I can't get in either."
Upon receiving the reply, Yan Shouyi seemed to have made a decision. He shouted to the security guards under his command, "Drive all these fans away! If they don't cooperate, arrest them and hand them over to the police!"
The security guards were stunned, not expecting Yan Shouyi to be so tough.
These were just fans chasing a star, was there a need to call the police?
Du Ping was also shocked. He stopped Yan Shouyi and said, "Are you crazy? What are you ordering? Do you know how high Dong Xi's status is? Can you afford to offend him?"
Yan Shouyi smiled. There was no one in this world he couldn't afford to offend.
Moreover, with Dong Xi alone, he didn't need to make a move. With Lin Zhitong here, why worry about anything?
"The school is a place for teaching and nurturing talent, not a place for celebrity hype. We cannot let the studies of all teachers and students be delayed because of a graduate's lecture. Director Du, you should distinguish between what is important and what is not!"
After speaking, Yan Shouyi gave another order: "Do as I say. I'll take responsibility if anything happens!"
The security guards were initially caught in a dilemma, but they felt Yan Shouyi's words made sense. They immediately stepped forward and apprehended a few representative fans.
The one who had insulted the security guards earlier was among them...
Seeing that some fans were being arrested, the fans' arrogance immediately diminished. When they heard that the police would be involved, they were even more frightened and retreated, clearing a path without the security guards needing to push them.
The teachers and students who were blocked outside could finally enter the campus smoothly.
Actually, everyone was an alumnus of Shanghang Art School, and their families were not short of money. Therefore, students of Shanghang Art School truly looked down on Dong Xi.
Being blocked from their studies by Dong Xi's fans made them very unhappy. Now that they could finally enter the school smoothly, students and teachers alike cast grateful glances at Yan Shouyi.
Lin Zhitong's car also slowly drove into the school.
However, Dong Xi's fans became restless again. What started as quiet discussions turned into loud insults directed at the security guards and Shanghang Art School, with all sorts of offensive words being thrown around.
"Our Xi Xi needs us. You have no right to drive us away!"
"If it weren't for our Xi Xi, who knows about Shanghang Art School? It's a third-rate school and doesn't deserve our Xi Xi's status!"
"You little security guards wait. When Xi Xi arrives later, he will definitely stand up for us fans!"
"Security guards are just a bunch of uncultured hillbillies!"
"Call the police! Let's see who's right!"
As the fans' insults grew louder, some security guards were on the verge of losing their temper.
Just then, several commercial vehicles drove into the campus and stopped directly at the school gate. The big star Dong Xi stepped out of the car in all his glory, immediately drawing a burst of screams.
He still had that effeminate, sissy appearance!
Dong Xi got out of the car, waved to his fans, and even sent a big flying kiss. "Hello everyone, I am Dong Xi."
"Ah!! Our Xi Xi is so handsome!"
"Xi Xi, look at me, look at me! I made my dad sell a kidney to buy you a gift, please accept it!"
"Wuwuwuwu, Xi Xi, you've come at the perfect time. We were just bullied by these little security guards."
"Yes, you must stand up for us. Our Xi Xi dotes on his fans the most!"
Upon hearing that someone had bullied his fans, Dong Xi's expression immediately darkened.
Accustomed to his arrogance, he was about to confront the security guards to demand an explanation.
However, as he turned his head, he met the eyes of Yan Shouyi and Long Feicheng, and was momentarily stunned.
Why were these two guys here?!
