Cao Xiu in the villa has been lying dead in his room for three days, feeling hopeless.

I was still holding out hope at first, but after seeing Qiao Mu and Lang Bushin come back, while Gong Cheng and Teacher Xu never came back, this despair reached its peak.

Cao Xiu didn't even dare to ask Lang Bushin how Gong Cheng was doing now.

Tao Zhi helped Gong Cheng to the door of the room and invited him in.

Gong Cheng watched Tao Zhi leave before opening the door.

When Lang Bushin saw Gong Cheng limping in, he hurried over to help him. Cao Xiu heard the noise and stood up suddenly. When he saw Gong Cheng was safe and sound, he held his head and burst into tears.

"Are you okay? Why haven't you come back for so many days?" Cao Xiu yelled.

Gong Cheng ignored Cao Xiu and just walked towards his bed with the help of Lang Bushin.

Cao Xiu climbed up from the bed and grabbed one of Gong Cheng's arms, causing Gong Cheng to stagger and almost fall. The pain in his left foot made Gong Cheng frown.

"You were trying to scare me on purpose, weren't you? You made such a big scene that day, I thought you were dead, but in the end you just sprained your ankle?"

"That's what I said. It's just a mud pit. How could someone die there?"

Cao Xiu's face was ferocious and he was furious. He felt that he had been worried and frightened for the past two days and it was really ridiculous.

"Are you finished?" Gong Cheng said calmly.

"You're still showing off, aren't you? You poor bastard, do you still want to blackmail me by saying you sprained your ankle?" Cao Xiu yelled.

"If I were you, you should open your phone now and go to the location that Teacher Xu sent you immediately." Gong Cheng said.

Cao Xiu's heart tightened when he heard this. Why did Teacher Xu want to see him alone?

"You're going to complain, right?"

"Do you care about a sprained ankle?"

While yelling, Cao Xiu was searching for his phone on the bed. When he opened it, he saw a message from Xu Yanze.

"I'll come back and deal with you."

Cao Xiu took his cell phone and ran to the place Xu Yanze said.

"Teacher Xu, do you have something to talk to me about?" Cao Xiu asked guiltily.

"After reviewing and analyzing student Gong's statement and surveillance video, the Joint School Management Committee has decided to cancel your eligibility to participate in the Financial Summer Camp."

"This qualification is only related to the summer camp and has nothing to do with the qualification for the Oriental Cup. You can still sign up for the competition later." Xu Yanze said.

Cao Xiu's expression changed in an instant after hearing this.

"Teacher Xu, is there any misunderstanding here? You can't just listen to Gong Cheng's one-sided story. Why don't you even ask me?"

"This is just a small matter. I took him to the back mountain, but Gong Cheng fell down accidentally."

"Nothing happened, he just sprained his ankle. I can pay for his medical expenses and give him ten times the compensation." Cao Xiu's tone was a little anxious.

"I am only informing you of the decision of the Joint School Management Committee. I have no right or obligation to interfere with the decision-making results."

"Pack up and leave the villa before going to bed tonight." Xu Yanze said coldly.

Cao Xiu just felt angry.

"Why are you kicking me out? Just because of that poor bastard wearing fake stuff?"

"I was just joking with him, and I wasn't the only one teasing him. Who among the students from the same school didn't go to the back hill together? Why did you send me away alone?"

"Do you know who my father is? How dare you let me suffer this humiliation?" Cao Xiu roared.

Xu Yanze looked impatient, but before he could say anything, he saw the person behind Cao Xiu.

Tao Zhi stretched out his hand and put it on Cao Xiu's shoulder.

"Is your father's name Zhang Erhe?" Tao Zhi asked with a smile.

Cao Xiu was frightened by the person who suddenly appeared behind him, and jumped to the side howling.

"Are you fucking sick? My last name is Cao." Cao Xiu yelled.

"The last time I heard of someone with the surname Cao as arrogant as you was during the Three Kingdoms period." Tao Zhi said with a smile.

Tao Zhi walked towards Cao Xiu step by step with a mischievous smile on his face, and suddenly grabbed Cao Xiu's collar and pulled him in front of him.

"Teacher Xu is a serious person. He will give you the respect you deserve by letting you stand and leave on your own."

"But I'm obviously not a good person."

"You hurt my little Cheng. I wanted to give Teacher Xu some face and let you leave upright, but now it seems that you prefer to lie down."

"So are you ready to be carried out?"

After Tao Zhi finished speaking, he swung his fist at Cao Xiu. Cao Xiu opened his eyes wide and screamed, and turned his head to dodge. The fist stopped just away from his cheek, and the wind from the fist made Cao Xiu tremble.

Although the sun was scorching, Cao Xiu broke out in cold sweat in an instant.

Cao Xiu stopped screaming and opened his eyes, only to see Tao Zhi's mocking look.

Cao Xiu was angry but dared not speak.

"I'm leaving. I'll pack up and leave right away." Cao Xiu said in a trembling voice.

Tao Zhi loosened Cao Xiu's collar, and Cao Xiu immediately stepped back two meters with an angry expression.

"Who the hell cares about this crappy summer camp? There are so many teams begging me to join. If my dad hadn't insisted that I come just for the sake of formality, I wouldn't have come even if my mother begged me to."

"Just wait and see. Even if I don't participate in this summer camp, the first place in the Oriental Cup will only be mine."

Cao Xiu spat on the ground.

Tao Zhi pretended to pounce on him, and Cao Xiu ran away immediately in fear.

When Tao Zhi saw Cao Xiu running away in a staggering manner, he stopped with a roll of his eyes.

Xu Yanze stood there the whole time, looking at Tao Zhifang's street thug-like demeanor, his eyes darkened.

Tao Zhi walked forward, took out two sun protection sleeves from his pocket and handed them to Xu Yanze.

"I knew you would change the short-sleeved shirt I bought for a long-sleeved shirt like yours as soon as you got back to the villa."

"Follow the doctor's orders, Mr. Xu."

Xu Yanze didn't reach out to take it for a long time, so Tao Zhi directly stuffed the sun protection sleeve into Xu Yanze's hand.

"I bought a loose-fitting one that protects against the sun but isn't stuffy. I bought it specifically because it looks good. It suits the temperament of a serious person like you."

"There's no need to worry about the injuries on your hands being seen by students," said Tao Zhi.

The sun-protection sleeves made of ice silk felt smooth and slightly cool in Xu Yanze's hands. Xu Yanze looked down at Tao Zhi in front of him and opened his mouth several times but didn't know what he wanted to say.

"If you don't know what to say, don't say it."

"Anyway, thank you for saving my Xiaocheng this time. I'll bring Xiaocheng out for dinner when I have time later." Tao Zhi said.
