A call from the university?

The entire carriage instantly fell silent, and everyone's gaze became vacant.

They all stared at Gu Xing's mother's phone screen in disbelief.

Then they looked towards Qin Heng with indescribable horror.

Holy shit!

It can't be true, can it?

The university really called, and it was because of the WeChat message this boy just sent out?

That's too outrageous!

From the time the WeChat message was sent until now, it hadn't even been three minutes.

Incredible!

It's too unbelievable!

"No way, it can't really be..." Gu Xing's mother bit her lip. Kneeling on the floor, she crawled over with trembling hands, picked up the phone, and looked at the caller ID with an astonished expression.

The ringtone was urgent, as if compelling her to answer quickly.

"Mom, hurry up and answer. Don't worry, it definitely won't be like what this kid said," Gu Xing said, not worried in the slightest, laughing. "It's probably just a call to inform new students about enrollment procedures. Why are you so scared? Do you really think they're going to call to expel me? That's totally impossible, okay? This kid is just talking nonsense!"

Gu Xing simply didn't believe Qin Heng's words.

Qin Heng was indeed extremely rich, with 8.6 billion in liquid savings—enough to scare anyone to death. However, the idea that he could, merely by being rich, compel a university to expel an incoming student without any reason was absolutely impossible!

"Exactly, it's impossible. Whatever that kid said, it can't be possible!" Gu Xing's mother nodded repeatedly, suppressed the fear in her heart, and answered the call.

"H-hello..." Gu Xing's mother was still somewhat nervous.

"Mom, don't be afraid. Turn on the speakerphone, let everyone hear it clearly," Gu Xing said cheerfully from the side. He even raised his eyebrows at Qin Heng, saying, "Kid, you're happy about the call, aren't you? Listen well to what they say on the phone."

BEEP—

The speakerphone was turned on, and a sweet female voice came from Gu Xing's mother's phone.

"Hello, are you the mother of Gu Xing, student ID number ****...?"

"Yes, that's right. May I ask what this is about?"

"Alright, this is the situation. We've received public complaints that your son, student Gu Xing, threatened passengers for their seats and displayed bullying behavior on the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed train, creating an extremely negative influence. After verification by the relevant departments confirmed the report's accuracy, our university, after discussion, has decided to cancel Gu Xing's admission qualification and will not grant him enrollment. There will be an announcement on the school's official website later, please pay attention to it."

BEEP BEEP BEEP— The other end hung up, leaving only the busy tone from the phone.

Silence!

The entire carriage was silent. Everyone stared incredulously at the phone in Gu Xing's mother's hand, their faces filled with shock.

The smile on Gu Xing's face froze, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

He widened his eyes and stood there dumbfounded as if struck by lightning, completely stunned and motionless.

After a long while, Gu Xing started shouting, "No! This can't be possible! How can this be?!" He seemed to go mad as he snatched the phone from his mother's hand, scrolling through the call history, trying to call back.

"How can it be possible? How can it be? Expel me over a seat on the high-speed train? Over a seat? Damn it! What kind of joke is this! How could it be for such a reason?!"

He simply couldn't believe it.

The reason given was truly too absurd, too laughable!

Who would have thought that just threatening someone for a seat on the high-speed train could lead to expulsion? Isn't that a fairly minor offense? To have such serious consequences!?

The other people in the carriage also hadn't expected such a result.

The reply given was truly unbelievable. To cancel enrollment qualification and deny admission just for threatening passengers over a seat on the high-speed train—that was too dismissive!

The crux of the matter, it seems, wasn't Gu Xing's threat to make someone give up their seat. But rather… who the whistleblower was. A report from the public? Who was this "public"?

At this thought, everyone was startled, then looked towards Qin Heng with uncertainty and apprehension.

Their gazes towards him were filled with utter horror!

Could it be? Could it really be just because of that WeChat message the young man sent out just now? My God! Just who did he send that message to? This is way too terrifying!

Everyone was shocked!

Looking at Qin Heng, it was as if they were looking at an Immortal.

It was truly inconceivable!

To think that just a single WeChat message could get a student expelled before they even started school, and for such an obviously flimsy reason!

What does this imply? It implies that this young man's status is terrifyingly high, so high that they would spare no cost to fulfill his demands! The hidden implications were just too horrifying!

Realizing this, the people in the carriage looked at Qin Heng with wariness, some even shuddering involuntarily, thankful they hadn't spoken out of turn earlier. If they had angered this young man, they would have truly been finished!

Cui Danwei and Shangguan Wen looked at Qin Heng in utter astonishment. Although both were naive, they weren't fools. Listening to the exchange, they had already begun to imagine Qin Heng as hailing from one of Beijing's top-tier families.

To wield such power with a mere WeChat message, and to have over eight point six billion in liquid savings… Could he be a fabled scion of a great family? To think that just by taking a high-speed train, they could encounter such a terrifying individual!

Bo Ling, however, looked at Qin Heng with amazement in her eyes.

She saw more than the others did. She knew Qin Heng had sent the message to He Yiming. The rapid progression of events was proof enough of how seriously He Yiming regarded the words of the young man before her.

No, it would be more accurate to say that He Yiming took this young man's commands extremely seriously. Upon receiving the command, He Yiming must have immediately dropped everything else to ensure this task was completed. With such authority, far surpassing He Yiming's, who on earth are you? Bo Ling was intensely curious. In her eyes, Qin Heng was an enigma, filled with mysterious allure.

By this time, Gu Xing had more or less come to his senses. He looked at Qin Heng, his face a mask of desperation. With a thud, he fell to his knees before Qin Heng, weeping and begging for mercy.

"I beg you! Please don't let the school expel me! I beg you, please! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I'm a bastard, I was blind to Mount Tai, please spare me!"

"Get lost!"

Qin Heng glanced indifferently at Gu Xing, then paid him no more attention.

For an ant like this to receive even a single word from him was already a blessing of three lifetimes.

Gu Xing's face immediately turned ashen.

He looked as if all strength had been drained from him, his expression vacant, utterly hopeless.

The people around him began to sneer.

"Just a moment ago, weren't you boasting about having a hundred ways to make sure he couldn't survive in Beijing? Why so meek now?"

"Idiot! You still have the nerve to beg for mercy? If this young man, Qin Heng, were just an ordinary person, would you have spared him?"

Many people enjoy kicking someone when they're down. For a while, the carriage was filled with a mirthful atmosphere.
