Everyone Loves the Villainous Scumbag [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 20

Luo Jianghe received news about Yu Wuyang at eleven o’clock in the evening. The class advisor called the dormitory monitor, Chen Mo, to inform them of Yu Wuyang’s hospitalization.

Luo Jianghe wanted to ask for more details, but the class advisor was busy at the hospital late at night and could not explain much for the time being. Furthermore, because his current status was that of a student, he had no way to leave the school in the middle of the night to visit Yu Wuyang.

Luo Jianghe had no choice but to ask the system, “If Yu Wuyang is declared dead, will my subsequent missions be ruined?”

017 answered bluntly, “Yes. It will be counted as a mission failure, and the host will be directly eliminated.”

Luo Jianghe became a bit anxious. “Then how is his situation now? System, can you feel if he is still alive? Or is there any major danger?”

“There is no major danger for now. It should not be a life threatening event, so the host can rest assured.”

“Then can you tell me what happened to Yu Wuyang after I left the hallway?”

“The host needs to find this out on his own. The system cannot look into details for matters that are not closely related to the main storyline.”

“Then this system is somewhat useless,” Luo Jianghe could not help but complain.

“Considering that I can help the host be reborn, the golden finger provided to you is already large enough.”

Did that mean he should not push his luck? Luo Jianghe chose to remain silent after 017 said that. In any case, he only needed to ensure that Yu Wuyang was safe so that he would not have to feel too much guilt. For some reason, he felt that Yu Wuyang’s hospitalization might be related to him to some extent.

The next morning, Luo Jianghe and the others went to class as usual. He clearly noticed that besides Yu Wuyang, another male student who had previously bullied Yu Wuyang was also absent from class today.

During the morning self study session, all the roommates from Yu Wuyang’s dormitory were summoned by the class advisor to ask about Yu Wuyang’s recent situation. Luo Jianghe was no exception.

After Chen Mo and Lin Chuan had finished being questioned, Luo Jianghe was finally called into the office by the class advisor. The class advisor, who was nearly forty years old, took off his thick glasses and tiredly rubbed the bridge of his nose while asking Luo Jianghe, “Have you ever seen Lin Tiao and Chen Ping using violence or threats against Yu Wuyang?”

“I saw it frequently last semester. There were no major physical altercations; they just mocked Yu Wuyang. Sometimes they would stop him and get physical while joking around, pretending they were going to slap him, but they never truly hit him. I could not stand it and stepped in once. Later, I spent a lot of time with Yu Wuyang, and seeing that, they did not touch him again.”

Listening to Luo Jianghe’s words, the class advisor’s frown deepened. “Then why did you not tell a teacher when you first saw Yu Wuyang being bullied?”

Luo Jianghe could not answer for a moment and chose to respond with silence. In his heart, he was thinking that he did not know anything about what happened before he transmigrated. How could he have reported it to a teacher then? By the time he had arrived, he had already resolved the issue himself, so there was no need to go through the extra trouble of telling a teacher.

Seeing that Luo Jianghe remained silent, the class advisor sighed and said, “Although you are adults, in the end, you are still students. You should have provided feedback to the teacher regarding these matters instead of trying to solve them privately.”

However, saying these things was now useless. The class advisor turned to Luo Jianghe and asked, “I heard that you and Yu Wuyang were assigned to duty together last night. Since you are in the same dormitory, why did you not return together in the evening?”

Luo Jianghe thought for a moment, still intending to keep some privacy for Yu Wuyang. “I was in a hurry to return to the dormitory to use the bathroom.”

Seeing this answer, the class advisor felt that his attitude was casual. Having been a teacher for many years, this was not his first time being a class advisor. Even if Luo Jianghe was an adult on the inside, the teacher could see his perfunctory attitude toward the questions.

“Do you know that after you and Yu Wuyang separated last night, Lin Tiao and Chen Ping found him? A fight broke out among the three of them. Lin Tiao was hit until his mouth bled, and Yu Wuyang also fell down the stairs. He is still lying in the hospital now!”

To make Luo Jianghe realize the seriousness of the problem, the class advisor exaggerated the situation slightly.

In reality, Yu Wuyang was not seriously injured; he only had abrasions on his arms and feet, and his forehead had bled a little from a scrape. To be safe, the class advisor had taken him to the hospital last night. By the time the examinations were finished, it was already very late, so he had him stay overnight. As for the other student, he had a nosebleed and a cut on the corner of his mouth from being hit by Yu Wuyang during the fight. The injuries were not major and only required simple treatment, but he had requested a few days off because he was afraid of losing face.

School had been over for a while at the time, and the surveillance in the hallway happened to be broken, making it difficult to distinguish the truth from the statements of those involved. Yu Wuyang clearly looked frightened and aggrieved, while the two who usually bullied him claimed that Yu Wuyang had jumped down the stairs himself.

But why would Yu Wuyang do such a thing? The class advisor could not find any reason for Yu Wuyang to jump. If it were a suicide attempt due to high pressure, who would think of rolling down the stairs to end their life? If it did not kill them, a concussion would only add to their troubles.

Therefore, the class advisor did not quite believe what Chen Ping and the other student said, which is why he first sought information from Yu Wuyang’s roommates. From Chen Mo and the others, the class advisor learned that Yu Wuyang had always been bullied by Chen Ping’s group.

With so many boys and girls in the class, teachers usually see some of the minor bickering and scheming. As long as it is not a major issue, most teachers turn a blind eye. After all, students nowadays are quite sensitive, and teachers do not dare to interfere too much in their interpersonal relationships.

The class advisor had not expected that a fight would break out in his class, or that something as serious as a classmate pushing another student down the stairs would happen. Fortunately, the consequences were not severe. Under his mediation yesterday, none of the three students expressed a desire to pursue the matter further.

He had also contacted their parents in the morning. Most fortunately, the parents were reasonable and felt that minor friction between students was normal; they knew the temperaments of their own children. Yu Wuyang’s uncle’s family was also apologetic, repeatedly saying that Yu Wuyang himself had brought trouble to the class advisor.

All three sets of parents treated this as a minor spat between classmates and were willing to resolve it peacefully. Although the class advisor felt this was more than just a minor spat, these students and parents had already proven easier to deal with than most troublemakers by not causing issues for the school and accepting his mediation.

The medical expenses were not much, and since the class advisor saw that the matter would not escalate, he did not ask the parents for medical fees. However, as a class advisor, it was still necessary to understand the situation from various classmates to prevent the situation from worsening.

Luo Jianghe pursed his lips and said nothing. Regarding responsibility, it truly could not be placed on him, but he could understand why the teacher spoke so sternly. A teacher naturally hopes that students will help one another; once one gets into trouble, those who are close to them are inevitably involved.

“Was it because you did not look out for each other? Did something happen between you that led to this?” Whether something happened to Yu Wuyang or Luo Jianghe, the teacher would ask such questions. This only showed that their class advisor was relatively responsible, so Luo Jianghe did not offer any rebuttal.

“Alright, you may go back now.” Outside, the morning self study had ended and morning exercises had begun. Luo Jianghe did not need to participate today.

Luo Jianghe nodded and prepared to return to the classroom. Just before he left, the class advisor added, “If Yu Wuyang does not feel unwell, he should be back by noon. You roommates should take more care of him. His family situation is special to begin with, and this is the final semester. I just hope you all graduate safely and smoothly.”

After a morning of classes, Luo Jianghe did not eat lunch with Chen Mo and the others. Instead, he grabbed a quick bite and went to the corner of the playground where Lin Tiao and his group usually hung out.

Chen Ping, who had been in the fight, was not there. Lin Tiao was sharing cigarettes with a few other buddies. Luo Jianghe was tall, handsome, and so fair he seemed to glow; he had a one hundred percent head turning rate and was impossible to ignore.

Lin Tiao and the others had noticed him long ago, and Lin Tiao had already anticipated that he would ask about Yu Wuyang. When Luo Jianghe approached, Lin Tiao exhaled a cloud of smoke, acting like a mature adult.

“That guy Yu Wuyang is truly a ruthless person. We regret it now, too. We only disliked him because he was a sissy, but we did not expect him to be so reckless when he fights. Do you know how terrifying he looked when he jumped down the stairs? He actually had a smile on his face at the time.”

“Was it not you who pushed him?” Luo Jianghe asked with a cold face.

“Everyone says that, but I was there. If I did it, I did it; if I did not, I did not. There is nothing I am afraid to admit. It was night, and a few girls happened to be passing by downstairs. The lighting in the stairwell was poor, so they misunderstood and thought we pushed him. You cannot blame them; who would have thought a lunatic would throw himself down the stairs? Was he not afraid of making himself brain dead?”

Luo Jianghe did not believe his words on the spot; after all, Lin Tiao’s character was not worth trusting. Seeing that Luo Jianghe was silent, Lin Tiao understood what he was thinking and simply said with a cold laugh, “That guy is like a jackal. Luo Jianghe, I advise you to stay away from him, lest he pulls you down with him when he commits some crime in the future.”

Hearing this, Luo Jianghe gave Lin Tiao a cold look and said, “Thank you for your concern.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the voice of the Dean of Students, a voice he would recognize even if it turned to ash, rang out from another part of the playground: “Hey! You over there! Which class are you from?!”

The students standing in front of Luo Jianghe, who had been pretentiously smoking, immediately dropped their cigarettes, stomped out the embers, and ran away in a panic. Luo Jianghe was left standing alone, looking slightly disheveled in the wind.
