Those who had some understanding of Bi Ying’s physical condition, such as Si Huan and Huo Tian, as well as the school’s management, could sense that there was an unusual feud between He Yu and Bi Ying.

Huo Tian looked at Bi Ying worriedly and realized that the gloomy feeling he gave off when they first met had returned.

At that moment, Huo Tian thought of the antihuman Bi Ying mentioned in the history books of the future. She subconsciously grabbed the wrist of the boy beside her, as if doing so would stop him from walking towards the future that would bring misfortune to both himself and humanity.

Huo Tian’s action seemed to have some effect. Bi Ying was stunned for a moment. When he turned to look at Huo Tian, the temperature around him seemed to have warmed up.

Bi Ying smiled reassuringly at Huo Tian as if telling her not to worry.

He met He Yu’s gaze. “Long time no see. It seems like you haven’t felt any guilt in all these years.”

He Yu raised his eyebrows and smiled meaningfully. “Your guts have grown over the years. How dare you talk to me like this. Of course, your older brother here won’t feel guilty. Back then, you were the one who had overestimated your capabilities and wanted to attack me. That’s why you fell and broke your leg. You only have yourself to blame, isn’t that right?”

Bi Ying closed his eyes and suppressed the anger in his heart. He said coldly, “Back then, you sent away the servants in the villa then deliberately agitated me so that I would raise my hands against you. After I fell down the stairs, you left me alone in the villa for three days. I know you want my life, but I’m sorry to say that I still survived.”

He Yu sneered. “Yeah, it’s a pity that the accident only caused you to lose your legs.”

Bi Ying sneered, “Back then, you couldn’t tolerate an illegitimate child without any background. Now, you can’t even tolerate a cripple? Your narrow-mindedness is really admirable.”

“No, of course I’m magnanimous.” He Yu opened his arms to show his magnanimity. “I just don’t want something as disgusting as you to be an eyesore to me. Isn’t it normal for me to kick away a pebble on the road that’s in my way?”

The confrontation between He Yu and Bi Ying caused the entire conference room to fall silent. Everyone was trying to digest the complicated relationship between the two of them. At the same time, they were also breaking out in cold sweat from He Yu’s unconcealed malice.

In the end, it was the principal who stood up to ease the tension between them.

The principal’s bald head was covered in a layer of sweat. He said, “Mr. He Yu, didn’t you gather all the board members and management today to confirm the rules of the school’s admissions program? There should be no need to discuss your personal grudges with Bi Ying here.”

He Yu nodded at the principal perfunctorily. “I’m sorry, principal. Seeing something I hate has made me lose control of my emotions. I think everyone can understand my feelings. Alright, we can officially start today’s meeting.”

The principal signaled for Si Huan to find a seat with Huo Tian and Bi Ying. Then, he opened the document in his hand and said, “Dear board members, I’ve gone through your opinions. All of you think that the school shouldn’t continue to retain Huo Tian’s student status, right?”

A slightly older board member nodded and said, “That’s right. We don’t know about the other student’s situation, but we found out Huo Tian’s results for last year and her records of having violated the school rules. Regardless of where we’re looking at this from, Huo Tian can’t be called an outstanding student. Although the school claims that Huo Tian has passed the entrance examination, we are unable to confirm the authenticity of this test.”

The principal said, “The teachers in charge of the test and I can guarantee the authenticity of this test. Huo Tian also achieved outstanding results. She scored full marks in all her science subjects. In addition, Huo Tian has also applied for national patents many times over this summer vacation with her inventions. After taking into consideration the various aspects, the school believes that we cannot lose such an outstanding student.”

Other than He Yu, the other board members nodded. They were surprised that Huo Tian had such achievements. One of them looked at her in surprise. “Huo Tian, is what the principal said true?”

Huo Tian nodded listlessly and said, “Of course it’s true. You can go to the patent website to look up relevant information. By the way, Bi Ying also has a few patents. He’s a genius on par with me. If you want him to drop out of school, you can help me with the withdrawal procedures while you’re at it. That way, we can continue to work together in our research.”

He Yu laughed and said, “It seems like you guys have a good relationship. Let’s do as you wish. I think the school will be able to help you with the withdrawal procedures very soon…”

“No, the school won’t let them drop out.” A serious-looking board member interrupted He Yu.

“Today, the other board members and I are only here to understand the situation. Under the premise that the school’s admissions process is not violated, we are proud that Qingli High School has two geniuses like them. If Mr. He Yu insists on letting them drop out of school, then we will call a meeting for all the board members to come together and cast a vote to decide on this..”
