Chapter 92 Fishing
On the other side, after Bai Ze and Lu Zhiping left the Public Security Bureau, they did not go to the Martial Arts Association with them, but instead took a taxi alone and returned to the Third High School after a long time.
Thanks to the existence of the StarNet and the fact that the old principal even installed a virtual pod in the villa, Bai Ze has been taking online classes for some time now. This is the first time he has gone to No. 3 Middle School in more than two months.
He notified the former principal by phone in advance, and after entering the Third Middle School, he went straight to the teachers' apartment building.
Right behind that apartment building, next to a small river, the old principal was standing on the riverbank.
He was sitting on a small stool, holding a fishing rod that looked quite high-end, fishing by the river.
Upon seeing Bai Ze approach, the old principal waved his hand with an air of authority, and Yan Xinnian, the martial arts teacher beside him, took out a fishing rod and handed it to Bai Ze.
Do you know how to fish?
The old headmaster laughed and said, "Come on, let's talk while we fish."
As he spoke, he put away his fishing rod and then demonstrated to Bai Ze how to fish.
"The principal seems to be in a good mood, but he has no idea that I'm in a terrible mood right now."
While imitating the old principal, Bai Ze sighed and said, "Your good student used Luo Tao's matter to threaten me, saying that he has the right to wake Luo Tao up at any time to interrogate him about the Sacred Heart Sect."
"That's exactly the kind of thing that kid would do."
The old principal had a deep understanding of Senior Qi's character, and then said, "So, you've come to me hoping I can give you some advice?"
"No, it's to help you clean house."
Bai Zeyi said righteously, "Senior Qi has ruined the reputation of our No. 3 Middle School. This is intolerable. As a member of No. 3 Middle School, I will absolutely not allow him to act recklessly. Well, Senior Qi has made a fool of himself this time."
And so on, and so forth.
Bai Ze recounted everything that had happened, causing the old principal to twitch his brow. "This kid is quite decisive. Does he want me to skin that Qi Fangwei alive for you?"
"It's not helping me, it's helping you, the old principal, clean house," Bai Ze corrected again.
This time, Qi Fangwei not only failed to cover up the matter, but instead dragged the situation into a vortex.
However, Bai Ze alone is not enough to completely suppress Qi Fangwei; the old principal will have to step in.
"Relying on the mountain, relying on the mountain, isn't this the mountain we rely on right now?"
Despite this incident, the Martial Arts Association will need the former principal to exert his full effort to continue the investigation.
His position as an executive officer was obtained by the old principal. This boastful old man may seem unreliable, but he actually has a very wide network of connections.
"ha."
The old principal shook his head and chuckled, saying, "What era are we living in? Still cleaning house? Besides, do you think No. 3 Middle School is a sect? I'm the sect leader!"
Clearly, the old principal was not falling for Bai Ze's tricks at all.
"And don't rush."
The old headmaster stroked his beard, holding a fishing rod, exuding an air of wisdom. "Life is like fishing; patience is indispensable. Being too impatient will only scare the fish away. Only with enough composure and patience can you wait for the big fish to bite."
"Take this leak incident as an example. Who do you think is the fish, who is the fisherman, and who is the bait? Is the Yunlai Group, which leaked the information to the Japanese, the fish? Is Qi Fangwei, who wants to use this incident to gain favor, the fisherman? Or... is Mu Yaoguang, who has already been confirmed as the Martial Arts Association Inspector, the fisherman?"
"Hmm?" Bai Ze's expression changed slightly.
A subtle feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
It's like realizing you've left the tap running when you're out the door—a sense of unease and uncertainty lingers in your mind.
Fish, anglers, and bait...
In the depths of my heart, it seemed as if a colossal creature was rising from the bottom, about to break through the water.
What is it?
"It's Yunlai Group."
Bai Ze murmured, "Even if Yunlai Group has international connections and ties with Japan, leaking information is still incredibly unwise. Even if this matter isn't discovered, it could later become leverage for the Japanese to blackmail us."
"It's certainly unwise, but leaking information doesn't necessarily require the approval of higher-ups. Who knows, some guy might suddenly become blinded by greed and get bribed. Even the higher-ups can't be considered a unified whole; a company is always bound to have its share of open and covert struggles." The old principal shook his head with a smile.
"It's true that we can't rule out the possibility that some fools are blinded by greed, but the fact that you said that makes me even more certain that it's not just a bunch of simple fools."
Following that line of thought, Bai Ze continued, "If it wasn't just a simple leak, then it was a deliberate act. What was the result of this act? It's that the Yunlai Group is suspected of colluding with the Japanese. Of course, this wouldn't normally be a big deal, just rice smuggling, but it just so happens that the Yunlai Group is facing an external threat at this time, and these three Japanese individuals may even be connected to the youngest son of the God of the Mortal Realm."
Rounding down, it can all be said to be related to the gods on earth.
Although it was a stretch, it was enough to reach a certain level.
Then there's Qi Fangwei covering for Yunlai Group.
If this matter hadn't been exposed, things would have been fine, but once it was exposed, the situation would have become even worse.
Li Yundong's death had already triggered some of the subsequent consequences.
"As the situation escalated, it could no longer be attributed to a fool acting on his own; it had to be brought to the attention of the entire group. The group's owner had no choice but to step in and quell the storm."
Bai Ze slowly exhaled as he finished speaking, "The fisherman is the newly appointed inspector. The Yunlai Group is not actually the fish, but the bait."
"And thanks to Qi Fangwei, this bait is now guaranteed to catch fish. Li Yundong's death was perfectly timed," the old principal said, looking like he was a promising student.
Bai Ze couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Old fox."
If I'm not mistaken, the "idiot" who leaked the information might actually be one of our own... no, more likely, one of our own people pushed that idiot to do such a thing.
Everything was done to drag Yunlai Group into the storm and take action against it.
As for why Yunlai Group has its own people, you have to ask Mu Yaoguang, who once held shares in Yunlai Group.
Surely Mu Yaoguang, who was once a shareholder or even a senior executive of the group, couldn't have no influence at all, and all the people under her command could have been swept away?
It's not difficult to do this.
"Haha, this is fishing."
The old headmaster laughed heartily and said, "Young man, you still have a lot to learn."
At this point, the boastful old man finally couldn't resist and started showing off.
"Yes, that's fishing."
As Bai Ze spoke, he glanced at the empty fish bucket next to him, then lifted the rod, "It's on the hook."
He caught a big fish.
"Fishing is quite interesting. I thought it would be like what people say online, where you can't catch a big fish for half a day and will only come back empty-handed."
Bai used the "Words Come True" technique, and thus said.
The old principal's laughter stopped abruptly.
