Zhou De clenched his fists and took a few steps toward the burly man. He spewed, “You guys are going too far!”

The burly man thought that Zhou De was going to attack him, so he instantly raised his hand. Zhou Yun narrowed her eyes and, with a flip of a finger, the burly man felt his arm go numb, followed by an intense pain.

Then, “Ahhhh!” His voice echoed throughout the office.

A girl squatted down in horror and shouted, “Dad, what’s wrong? Dad, don’t scare me.”

The people around them were at a loss. They did not understand what was going on and could only stand by and watch open-mouthed.

Zhou Yun looked condescendingly at the burly man rolling on the ground and said, “If you want to solve the problem, then solve the problem. It’s impolite to fight.”

Everyone’s gazes turned to Zhou Yun. Zhou Yun turned to look at Chen Yuan and asked indifferently, “Where did you have the conflict? Are there any surveillance cameras?”

Chen Yuan tried to think back for a moment, then nodded vigorously and said, “They hit me in the equipment room. There are surveillance cameras in the equipment room.”

“Then let’s take it one by one. Let’s settle the fight first. Teacher, please take us to have a look at the surveillance cameras.” Zhou Yun looked at the counselor indifferently, but her sharp look carried an unquestionable aura.

The counselor felt a little guilty under Zhou Yun’s gaze and hastily said, “For the sake of the students’ privacy, those surveillance cameras have not been turned on for a long time. I think Chen Yuan should quickly apologize for this matter. It’s good for both sides.”

The surrounding people also nodded and said, “Yes, kowtow and apologize. It’s such a simple thing.”

“That won’t do. We still have to get to the bottom of the matter. If this isn’t our Chen Yuan’s fault, wouldn’t we have kowtowed in vain? You can choose for yourselves. See if you want us to call the police and say that you’re picking a fight, or that you’re slandering and damaging someone’s reputation, or that you’re intentionally hurting someone. Any of these seem fine,” Zhou Yun said smilingly.

At this moment, someone suddenly came in from outside and nodded at the counselor. In an instant, the counselor straightened up and said, “I told you that the surveillance cameras are not turned on. If you still don’t believe me, I can only bring you to take a look. The surveillance cameras have been dismantled.”

Zhou Yun looked at the counselor’s relaxed expression and knew that they must have tampered with it. Therefore, when they followed the counselor to the equipment room, Zhou Yun asked Chen Yuan softly, “Are you sure that the equipment room has a surveillance camera and that it’s turned on?”

Chen Yuan looked at the unfamiliar girl in front of her and said firmly, “I’m sure, because I work part-time in the equipment room. That’s why they bullied me in the equipment room.”

Zhou Yun nodded.

The burly man who had rolled around on the ground looked in Zhou Yun’s direction with hatred. Although he did not know why he had suddenly felt so much pain, it must have something to do with the family in front of him.

Zhou Yun looked frostily back at the burly man. Facing the burly man’s aura, she merely smiled faintly and did not take him seriously at all.

The group of people came to the equipment room. When they saw that the corner of the wall where the camera had originally been installed was now empty, Chen Yuan immediately understood. “You got someone to dismantle the camera?”

The counselor smiled awkwardly. “Chen Yuan, what are you talking about? I already said earlier that the surveillance camera wasn’t turned on, so we got someone to remove it long ago. You guys didn’t believe me.”

“Is that so? Had it been taken down long ago? Or did you just do it?” Zhou Yun looked at the counselor meaningfully.

Under Zhou Yun’s sharp gaze, the counselor looked away and said, “Of course, it has already been removed a long time ago.”

Zhou Yun snorted coldly. Then, she took out a small bag of medicinal powder and said to Chen Yuan, “Chen Yuan, put down the curtains, close the door, and turn off the lights.”

Chen Yuan quickly nodded and speedily closed the curtains. Even Chen Shu went to help.

The counselor was not sure what Zhou Yun was doing and asked, “What are you trying to do?”

The room suddenly darkened. In the darkness, Zhou Yun sneered and said, “Of course I’m helping you find the surveillance camera that has been dismantled a long time ago.”

Before the counselor could say anything, Zhou Yun sprinkled the powder in her hand, and shimmering marks promptly appeared on the ground.

Although the footsteps on the ground were very messy, one could still see that there was a series of footprints that extended from the chair beneath where the surveillance camera was originally placed, to a corner, and then out the door.

Before anyone could react, Zhou Yun rapidly walked to the corner, turned on the flashlight on her phone, and rummaged around. Sure enough,among the pile of junk, she found the surveillance camera that had been removed.
