The Genius System Without Equal

Chapter 669 - A protective umbrella

“Let’s check out what’s happening at the front gate. I just heard a Hua national thrashed up Lyon from the Kennedy family!”

“What? Are you sure it’s Lyon?”

“Absolutely, yes. Look, there’s a live stream in our group chat, and it looks like someone crushed Lyon’s genitals.”

“Oh, my God. Which Hua national could’ve done that? It sure is cruel, but bravo to him! That *sshole’s been scoring with countless girls in our school, all because of his influential family background. Now that he’s been disabled, it’s poetic justice, if you ask me. Call it God’s will. Haha, haha…”

“Stop laughing, let’s go, or we’ll be late for the show.”

The news traveled like a wildfire, and soon the entire University of Washington was rife with gossip. Those students who heard the news quickly rushed to the school gate, and it soon became evident that curiosity was not a trait that was exclusive to the Hua nationals.

Zhu Xiaofei, Ding Kai, and Wang Ling were taking a stroll with their teacher, Zhong Meili, on the magnificent grounds of the University of Washington. As they walked past some students, they heard them talking about the incident. They paid little attention at first until they picked up the word “Hua national” from the conversations. Even their teacher Zhong Meili wondered what was happening at the school gate.

“Our Hua compatriot beat up someone at the school gate and squashed his b*lls. Can that be true?” said Zhu Xiaofei, looking somewhat confused.

Wang Ling and Zhong Meili stared at him awkwardly as he mentioned the word “b*lls” so thoughtlessly in their presence. It was shameless and unacceptable.

“Well, we’ll know if it’s true once you see it for yourself!” said Ding Kai as he rolled his eyes, and he promptly rushed toward the school gate.

“Kai, why are you so serious? Wait for me,” yelled Zhu Xiaofei as he ran to catch up with his friend.

Wang Ling turned to Zhong Meili and asked, “Ms. Zhong, are we going too?”

“Let’s go. We should also find out what’s happening.”

Zhong Meili answered with a nod and moved in the direction of the gate. She would not have bothered if the person involved was from another country. However, as the person seemed to be from the Hua nation, she felt an obligation to assist her compatriot in a foreign land. To her, it was only natural to care for a compatriot like one’s own family.

Many people had gathered at the school gate by the time they arrived. It was quite a sight to see such a large crowd, and most of the onlookers were taking pictures with their phones.

Lyon and his two bodyguards were lying on the ground, knocked out cold. The University’s security guards had intervened and tried to detain Xiao Luo. However, even a dozen of them could not do a thing, as Xiao Luo defeated them in less than a minute.

“What a terrifying Hua national. What formidable Hua Kung fu!”

“It seems like only the police can stop him.”

“Damn it, why aren’t the police here yet? We cannot allow this arrogant Hua national to do as he pleases.”

Most of the Mei nationals were hostile toward Xiao Luo. What he had done was equivalent to breaking into their homes and beating up their families in front of them. No one from the Mei nation could tolerate that. Although Lyon had been preying on young girls in their school for years and had drawn plenty of flak for it, most people still took his side after the brutal attack. They hoped that the police would arrive soon to arrest that criminal who had assaulted a man in public.

“Oh, my God! Could he be… Could he be Brother Luo?”

When they arrived at the school gate, Ding Kai and Zhu Xiaofei were shocked when they discovered that Xiao Luo was the person who had caused the trouble. They had been in the Mei nation for some time, so they spoke with hints of the local accent.

Both Wang Ling and Zhong Meili were equally startled as they did not expect that the man that everyone was talking about was Xiao Luo.

Zhong Meili felt nauseous when she looked at Lyon lying unconscious on the ground drenched in blood, and with both arms broken. She could not believe that it was the work of Xiao Luo. In her mind, Xiao Luo was an outstanding student who could debate with Huang Ruoran on the monetary theories in fluent English. That lesson was one of the most memorable that she had ever taught in all her teaching years, and it was still fresh in her memory. She could still vividly recall their debate.

What had happened?

Why did Xiao Luo assault Lyon in public? Why did he hurt him to the point of crippling him?

Seeing what had happened, Zhong Meili was bewildered, as the person standing there was not the Xiao Luo she thought she knew.

“Hero Luo… What happened to him?”

Wang Ling was horrified and could not believe what Xiao Luo had done. She saw Huang Ruoran, who stood beside Xiao Luo, and she looked equally shocked. Wang Ling knew that the incident probably had something to do with Huang Ruoran, but daunted by what had happened, she did not dare to approach her.

WOO-WOO, WHOP! WHOP! WOO!

They could hear police sirens screaming toward the university from afar. Three police cars with flashing red and blue lights soon sped arrived and halted in front of the school gate. A dozen police officers alighted from the vehicles with their pistols drawn as they surrounded the crime scene.

Sh*t!

That was the only word that came to Zhu Xiaofei’s and Ding Kai’s minds. Xiao Luo had severely assaulted and crippled someone and the police would probably put him behind bars for a few years. The casualty was Lyon, who belonged to the influential Kennedy family. There wasn’t much of a chance that Brother Luo could talk his way out of a jail term.

The two gritted their teeth and clenched their fists as they wanted to do something for Xiao Luo, but realized there was nothing they could do to help him. All they could do was gaze at him helplessly.

The police officers took immediate action when they arrived, pushing the crowd back and taking control of the scene.

The officer-in-charge was a police superintendent, and he broke out in a cold sweat when he laid eyes on Xiao Luo. He immediately took out his phone to check on Xiao Han, the Thousand-faced Killer, and confirmed this man was him. The instructions from his superiors were explicit–no one was to confront nor antagonize Xiao Han.

“Wait… put your guns away. Don’t point them at that man. If anyone of you fire, you are dead meat. Quickly put away your guns!” The police superintendent yelled to his men.

What?

The police officers suddenly wavered as they stared at each other. They could not understand why they were ordered to stand down. That severely injured man lying on the ground was Lyon from the Kennedy family. If anyone shot that Hua national dead, they would undoubtedly not charge him with a violation, and might even receive a reward for it. The Kennedy family would certainly approve and would probably assist that person with future promotion.

Although confused, the police officers still obeyed the instruction and holstered their handguns.

The police superintendent composed himself and approached Xiao Luo cautiously. He smiled and asked, “Err, Mr. Xiao… Mr. Xiao Han, can we take Lyon away for medical care?”

He was overly courteous and bowed repeatedly to Xiao Luo.

Oh, my God. What are we seeing here?

Everyone who had witnessed that exchange widened their eyes in surprise as they stared at the police superintendent in disbelief. These were the federal police officers. How could they be so respectful to a criminal who had assaulted someone in public? What the heck was going on? Did that Hua national have a more powerful background than the young master Lyon Kennedy?

Most of the police officers dropped their jaws in shock. None of them had expected their leader to act in such a manner. What on earth was he doing? Were they not there to arrest that criminal? Why were they acting as a protective umbrella for him instead?
