Chapter 375: 172 Disciplinary Action (Second Revision)

Qi An was stunned by this sudden turn of events, and before he could react, he was pushed to the ground and beaten. The punches landed heavily on his flesh, and he was dazed by the attack.

Seeing that it was a real fight and not just playing around, the others froze, panic-stricken, and retreated.

This kid is terrifying.

“Stop, stop it right now!” The disciplinary director on patrol in the cafeteria burst in, furious, and tried to pull Zhu Shaodan away.

Zhu Shaodan shook off the director’s hand and pointed at Qi An, who was lying on the ground, gasping for breath. He threatened fiercely, “My sister — if I find out any of you have been bullying her again, it won’t be just a beating. And remember my name, Zhu Shaodan. It’ll become a nightmare for all of you.”

Such arrogance. The disciplinary director’s nose almost crooked with rage. Noticing his colorful hair and outfit, he fumed, “Which class are you in? This is outrageous!”

He took out some heart-relief pills from his pocket, poured a few tremblingly into his mouth, patted his chest, and finally caught his breath.

Zhu Shaodan grinned, “Hello, teacher. My name is Zhu Shaodan, and I’m in Senior Class 1/8. This guy bullied my sister and the school didn’t do anything about it, so I, as her brother, had to take matters into my own hands.”

With a roll of his eyes, the director clutched his chest, and two students rushed to hold him up. “Mr. Li, are you alright?”

Li Rengui ground his teeth, “Starting a fight on the first day of school, dyeing hair, not wearing the school uniform, impertinent, and forming cliques. You’re completely unreasonable. I must expel you.”

Zhu Shaodan scoffed, “I hope you keep your word.”

Zhu Xiangxiang, seeing that the situation was escalating, hurriedly pulled Zhu Shaodan back, and pleaded with Mr. Li, “Shaodan, just keep quiet. Mr. Li, my brother didn’t mean to do it. Please give him another chance. He won’t do this kind of thing again.”

Li Rengui waved his hand, pointing at Qi An, “You should apologize to this student.”

With his swollen nose and bruised face, Qi An had lost all dignity in front of his classmates.

“He should apologize to my sister first.” Zhu Shaodan’s stubborn attitude made Li Rengui’s eyes roll with rage, leaving him short of breath again.

Everyone watched the drama unfold with glee, not expecting such excitement on the first day of school.

“Shaodan, do you want to cause more trouble? Apologize to Qi An quickly!” Zhu Xiangxiang scolded sternly.

“Why should I? He deserved it for bullying you.” Zhu Shaodan looked around, and people retreated wherever his gaze fell.

Zhu Shaodan had made a name for himself with this fight.

Ming Jing picked up her tray and left, indifferent to the commotion before her.

Tao Xingxing hurried to catch up with her, sneaking a glance at her before quietly asking, “Ming Jing, isn’t he your biological brother?”

Why was he defending Zhu Xiangxiang?

While cleaning her tray, Ming Jing said indifferently, “So what if he is?”

Tao Xingxing huffed, “Is he blind or something? Defending Zhu Xiangxiang like that when you’re clearly his real sister.”

“The little brat is a traitor.”

Ming Jing placed her cleaned tray into the sterilizing cabinet and took out a handkerchief from her school uniform pocket, wiping the water stains from her fingers unhurriedly. Glancing up at the noisy crowd across her, she walked away.

“Ming Jing…” Someone suddenly called her.

Ming Jing’s steps momentarily halted.

“Don’t pay attention to Zhu Xiangxiang. She’s just doing this on purpose.” Tao Xingxing pulled Ming Jing away quickly.

“Ming Jing, Shaodan is your biological brother. Aren’t you going to help him when he’s in trouble?”

As Zhu Xiangxiang finished, all eyes fell on Ming Jing.

Suddenly, everyone realized that the young boy with multicolored hair, who was as terrifying as a demon, was actually Ming Jing’s brother.

How could the graceful, gentle and kind Ming Jing have such an unreasonable brother?

“What do you want her for? I can handle my own affairs.” Zhu Shaodan grumbled unhappily.

Zhu Xiangxiang shook her head at him, “If you don’t want to be expelled on the first day of school, then shut up.”

Zhu Shaodan snorted.

Meanwhile, Li Rengui was on the phone with Class 8’s homeroom teacher. This matter had to be resolved today.With so many students watching, the impact could be severe, potentially ruining the century-old reputation of Shengde High School in an instant.

Ming Jing shook off Tao Xingxing’s hand and said softly, “You go back first.”

With that, she turned and walked towards the crowd.

Tao Xingxing resignedly followed.

Everyone saw Ming Jing walk straight up to Qi An and suddenly grab his wrist. Qi An was stunned, staring blankly at the girl in front of him.

His breathing suddenly became rapid, and the fingertips on his wrist were like cold jade, instantly dispelling all his pain.

The others were also stunned, unable to understand what Ming Jing was trying to do.

Ming Jing quickly let go and calmly said, “It’s a skin wound, just rest for a few days and it will heal. If you’re not reassured, you can have the Zhu’s driver take you to the hospital now. All medical expenses will be covered by the Zhus. If you have any other requests, you can make them as well.”

The girl’s voice was cold and clear, like shattered glass.

Before anyone could react, Ming Jing walked up to Li Rengui and said, “Hello Mr. Li, I am Zhu Shaodan’s sister, Ming Jing.”

Li Rengui was taken aback, first by the girl’s stunning looks and demeanour, but then by her calm and composed attitude. He felt a sense of comfort and nodded, “Ming Jing, I know you.”

The teachers would gossip about the school’s celebrities in private.

“Being young and impulsive is not an excuse for making mistakes. From now on, he will accept any punishment from the school. Please calm down, Mr. Li.”

This was the proper attitude for admitting a mistake. Just as Li Rengui was about to nod his head in satisfaction, he heard Zhu Shaodan angrily question, “Who do you think you are? How can you make decisions for me? I don’t have a sister like you.”

Ming Jing glanced at him indifferently. In an instant, it was as if a sharp blade was pressed against his throat, and Zhu Shaodan’s mocking smile froze on his face. He stood there as if under a paralysis spell.

“Zhu Shaodan, you’re fifteen years old and should know what order, rules, and laws are, as well as take responsibility for your actions. Don’t think you’re any different from others. In the vast sea of people, you are nothing but an insignificant mortal. Don’t glare at me with hatred; I don’t owe you anything. Today you beat someone up for a moment of glory, tomorrow you could kill. Desires in people’s hearts expand step by step. As your sister, I have no responsibility but an obligation to discipline you, not for your sake, but for the innocent people you might hurt in the future.”

Ming Jing’s words were powerful and resounding, stirring the hearts of all who listened.

Li Rengui applauded, “Ming Jing, what you said is excellent.”

Zhu Xiangxiang secretly gritted her teeth, knowing that Ming Jing was best at this kind of act, appearing righteous and full of moral integrity in front of others, but extremely hypocritical in reality.

But everyone else bought into it.

Zhu Shaodan’s face turned pale and green, not knowing what he was afraid of, and never daring to speak up.

“Mr. Li, I accept any punishment the school has for Zhu Shaodan.”

Li Rengui nodded, “Please invite your parents to come to the school. I’ll wait for you in the office.”

With that, he turned and walked away with his hands behind his back.

Ming Jing walked a few steps and looked back at Zhu Shaodan, who was still standing in the same spot, her eyes slightly narrowed.

Zhu Shaodan cursed silently in his heart. Why did her eyes make him feel both fearful and oddly familiar? He instinctively chased after her.

“Shaodan…” A sense of unease crept into Zhu Xiangxiang’s heart.

“Sister, don’t worry, I’m not afraid of her.” Zhu Shaodan reassured Zhu Xiangxiang before swaggering off after Ming Jing.

Zhu Xiangxiang hesitated for a moment before following suit.

As soon as the three left, the cafeteria exploded with chatter.

“Hey, Ming Jing, you stop right there! Don’t think I’m afraid of you! Let me tell you…”

Ming Jing turned around, and with a slap, hit Zhu Shaodan’s face hard, showing no mercy and leaving him completely dazed.

“Shaodan!” Zhu Xiangxiang hurried over, standing in front of Zhu Shaodan and glaring at Ming Jing angrily.

“Why did you hit him so hard? He didn’t do it intentionally.”

Zhu Xiangxiang felt slightly shaken, as this was the first time she had seen Ming Jing use violence.

There was not a trace of anger on Ming Jing’s face, still as serene as ever, the corners of her mouth slightly curved, smiling as gently as a spring breeze.

Having dealt with Ming Jing for so long, Zhu Xiangxiang had gained some understanding of her. The gentler her smile, the bigger the issue.

Ming Jing raised her chin slightly, her eyes calm and indifferent, and said softly, “I’m disciplining my own brother; outsiders, please step aside.”
