Chapter 25 Bullying Others

“I don’t.” I said slowly, the meaning in my eyes unclear.

After getting along, Lin Hai could always understand my intentions, so he didn’t say anything more. Lu Baining was still in a daze. I said, “Let’s get started. Introduce yourself.”

It started so suddenly that Lu Baining was still in a state of confusion. After a long while, she finally came back to her senses under the gazes of Lin Hai and I. She forced a smile and pretended to be gentle, “Hello, everyone. My name is Lu Baining, and I’m Vice-Principal Lu Yu’s niece.”

She mentioned the vice-principal on purpose. I could see the smugness in her eyes.

“And then?” I remained unmoved as I coldly asked.

Unfortunately, the HIV Research Group did not allow anyone to enter through the back door. They could only rely on their own strength. “T-then?”

Lu Baining almost cried out in surprise. She probably never expected that I wouldn’t immediately invite her to the research team after hearing about her background. She’s too overconfident.

“What else? Why do you wish to join the research group? Do you know anything about HIV?” I asked coldly. “We are the HIV Research Group, not the gathering place for the

principal’s nieces. I hope you can understand. Thank you for your understanding.”

Lu Baining clenched the corner of her clothes tightly and bit her lips tightly, as if she was about to cry. I was unmoved.

“No way, no way, this big brother is awesome!

You even dare to kill Lu Baining?”

“Am I the only one who thinks that Lu

Baining’s high and mighty attitude is very

annoying? Now that she’s been rebuked, who will the heavens spare?”

“Shush, keep your voice down. Don’t let

anyone find out. Even if she’s high and mighty, it’s the vice-principal who gave her the power. We’d better not provoke her.”

“Fine, we don’t even have the right to say the right words.”

“I have to say, the members of the HIV research team are really hard-headed, daring to mess with Lu Baining. It’s rare.” “They’re just young and frivolous. The HIV Research Group’s thesis just won the award, and they’re very popular now. How can they not be proud? However, in the face of absolute power, no matter how much glory you have, it’s just paving the way.”

“Vice Principal. Sigh, I can only say 666.”

“You should get used to it. It’s not the first or second day that the vice-principal has allowed Lu Baining to bully her classmates. Do you really think that Shen Xiaoxiao is a vixen?”

“It’s terrifying to think about it. I’ll just quietly watch the show.”



In such a quiet area, the sound of the aspiring members gradually grew. Lu Baining had thought that all the members would support her, but now the direction of public opinion had completely deviated.

Her face was filled with anger.

“Are you the only ones who have mouths? If

you continue to make a fuss and can’t control your mouths, do you believe that this young lady will ask uncle to expel you?”

Lu Baining turned his head and said angrily to the crowd. She was obviously so angry that she spoke without thinking. Some of the more courageous onlookers even dared to mutter a few words.

However, most of them were afraid of Lu

Baining’s uncle’s power and status, so they could only keep their mouths shut. However, the unwillingness in their eyes could not be concealed. Lu Baining had probably already lost the hearts of the people.

Her classmates were only complimenting her because of her status.

Just as I was thinking about this, Lu Baining proudly turned his head and said to me, “I don’t need to introduce anything else. Now, add my name to the HIV Research Group member list.”

I raised my eyebrows. I thought her words were

ridiculous enough, but before I could reply, Lu Baining continued, “Of course, I’m busy every day, so I don’t have time for the research group. I’ll only take some time to visit the research group. However. if you publish a paper next time…”

Lu Baining deliberately paused and became

even more proud. “I have to be a member of the team who participated in the creation of the thesis. I have to appear on the winning list.”

Lu Baining was really shameless to the extreme. After knowing this person, I suddenly felt that Luo Yan and Shen Tao were somewhat

pleasing to the eye.

At least, even if they didn’t want to participate

in the work of searching for documents, they would make some kind of gesture and couldn’t just spew out words so shamelessly.

“The members of the HIV Research Group will

all appear on the list of paper authors.” After a moment, I said indifferently.

Before I could finish my sentence, Lu Baining

thought that I had admitted defeat. She raised her head and said, “You’re tactful.”

As she spoke, she picked up her expensive bag

and wanted to leave. She probably thought that after the interview, she would definitely be a part of the HIV Research Group.

“Oh, right.” Before she left, Lu Baining thought

of something else. “There’s one more thing.

Shen Xiaoxiao can’t join the HIV Research Group. I hope you don’t disappoint me.” “You” naturally referred to Lin Hai and me. She was extremely arrogant. Of course, I wouldn’t indulge her Missy habit.

Just as Lu Baining was about to step out of the

research room, I finally said, “When did I say I would let you join the HIV Research Group?”

“That’s right,” Lin Hai chimed in, “Besides, our HIV Research Group selects new members based on ability, not background.” “You’re talking about Shen Xiaoxiao? As long

as she’s strong enough, we’ll definitely recruit her into the research group.”

Lu Baining, who was full of confidence, was stunned on the spot. She couldn’t imagine that in a smooth-sailing life, there would be people like Lin Hai and me who didn’t fear power.

Lu Baining took a deep breath, her actions

visible to the naked eye. Then, she turned around, her eyes filled with anger.

“You guys don’t think that just because your HIV Research Group won a prize for your thesis, you guys are invincible, do you? Do you

think the school will support you? They really are the thoughts of ordinary citizens who don’t understand the law of the jungle.”

Lu Baining crossed her arms in front of her

chest. Her arrogance could not be concealed. But in the face of Lu Baining’s aggressiveness, my expression didn’t change. Her current behavior was like watching a joke.

“And then?” I spread out my hands, not taking Lu Baining’s words to heart at all.

“…And then?” Lu Baining repeated my words in disbelief. She was extremely shocked. “You, you just wait and see.” Lu Baining pointed at Lin Hai and me and said, “Since you

won’t turn back until you hit the wall, I’ll use

my actions to tell you that you can’t fight against power!”

“Heh, just you wait. Even if you don’t let me join the research group now, you’ll have to beg me to join in the future!”

Lu Baining was so confident that I almost rolled my eyes. “Ah, yes, yes, yes. So, please leave now. We’re

going to interview the next student who will be participating in the recruitment event.

I replied nonchalantly, my tone as calm as

water.



Lu Baining was completely speechless. She

wanted to argue with Lin Hai and me again, but

when she noticed the burning gazes from all directions, she finally lost. “Lin Luo and you’re Lin Hai, right?” Lu Baining

noticed the name tags in front of us. “I’ll

remember you. You’d better stay this calm forever.”

After the threat, Lu Baining stomped on her high heels and left angrily. Lin Hai and I looked

at each other and both felt that she was beyond

redemption.

After the interlude, I started to check on the

next member who came to join the recruitment. When I saw her name, I raised my eyebrows slightly. It wasn’t that enemies couldn’t meet. The next one was Shen Xiaoxiao.
