The Female Assassin Pretends to Be a Lamb in the Campus

Chapter 26

A man followed behind another man who looked like his assistant. The assistant was carrying a black briefcase.

The two were led in by the security guard.

Clearly, this was the lawyer Qiao Ying had mentioned.

"Who is this?" Feng Teng was able to reach his current position by being shrewd. He could tell at a glance that the other party was no ordinary person.

The habits of the political arena reflexively manifested, and he strode forward with both hands outstretched to greet Cheng Jinyan.

"Jinyan Law Firm, Cheng Jinyan." Cheng Jinyan politely shook Feng Teng's hand. "I'm... " His gaze met Qiao Ying's, and in that moment he confirmed her identity, "this student's commissioned lawyer."

"Jinyan Law Firm? Cheng Jinyan?" Feng Teng's eyes widened in surprise.

How could he not be familiar with this figure?

Someone had once deliberately sabotaged him, causing him to become embroiled in a public opinion crisis. At the time, he had relied on connections and money in an attempt to hire Cheng Jinyan to fight his lawsuit.

After making considerable effort, he finally obtained Cheng Jinyan's contact information, but didn't even get to meet him before Cheng Jinyan directly rejected the case for being too trivial.

Yet this legal expert whom even money could not sway had now appeared before him as Qiao Ying's commissioned lawyer.

Cheating on an exam—was this case really that major?

Feng Teng did not understand. Even if the Qin family had commissioned him, there was no way he would come in person, right?

But before he could make sense of it, Cheng Jinyan had already walked over to Qiao Ying. "How may I address you?"

"Qiao Ying."

Cheng Jinyan nodded. "Ms. Qiao, I hope I'm not too late."

Qiao Ying: "A bit, but it doesn't matter."

Seeing a familiar face, Qiao Ying instinctively responded to Cheng Jinyan casually, having completely forgotten that she was Qiao Ying right now, not Blood Shadow.

Fortunately, Cheng Jinyan didn't say anything, only taking Qiao Ying's bluntness as part of her personality. "Alright, please leave the rest to me."

Qiao Ying actually called a lawyer?

Dealing with Feng Teng alone had already left the principal and all the other leaders at a loss. They had barely managed to handle Feng Teng, and now a lawyer showed up.

The math teacher's endurance had reached its limit.

But the most flustered person right now wasn't the math teacher—it was the principal.

It was actually Cheng Jinyan from Jinyan Law Firm!

The principal was utterly dumbfounded now.

He felt that, like the math teacher, he would have to retire early.

With Cheng Jinyan fighting lawsuits, not to mention the opposing counsel, even if he went all out against another lawyer, he could probably get them disbarred.

The principal even felt that when he woke up tomorrow morning, the No. 7 Middle School that he had painstakingly managed for over 20 years would be gone.

This time, he was truly afraid.

And that wasn't the end of it. Before the principal could catch his breath, the police arrived as well.

Seeing the room full of people on Qiao Ying's side, despite the warm weather in early May, the principal broke out in a cold sweat.

The principal stopped struggling. As the principal, he directly lowered himself to plead with his own student, explaining things rationally and appealing to her emotions.

He was this close to bursting into tears and telling Qiao Ying and Feng Teng about how difficult his journey had been thus far.

The other school leaders quickly followed suit, and for a time the only sounds that could be heard in the principal's office were their intermittent pleading, a completely different scene from the "encirclement of Qiao Ying" just over half an hour ago.

Even with psychological preparation, seeing this kind of situation in person still tested Cheng Jinyan's professional capabilities, having experienced all kinds of storms.

He hadn't even considered that one day he would come to a school to fight a cheating lawsuit for a student.

What would his colleagues say when they found out? Based on the expression of his assistant, he could probably guess.

Cheng Jinyan cried and laughed internally.

"Please stay away from my client." Cheng Jinyan conscientiously shielded Qiao Ying behind him.

"Those who have always harmed the school's interests are not the so-called failing students in your eyes, but you parasites lacking any sense of right and wrong. Teaching? You're simply misleading the younger generation." Having said that, Qiao Ying directly told Cheng Jinyan, "Lawyer Cheng, proceed normally through official channels. I will staunchly defend my rights and interests."

"Education has always been our country's top priority. Based on today's matter, I really doubt whether you all can educate the children well and lead them onto the correct path. I'm going to the Bureau of Education right now. Fang Li, you all just wait to bear the consequences of your actions." Feng Teng's impassioned speech was most dignified.

The principal's face was ashen.

Before returning to class, Qiao Ying spoke privately with Cheng Jinyan for a while.

"Although you should proceed through normal channels, Lawyer Cheng, if you really make me go to court, I might have to doubt your professional capabilities." Qiao Ying had no desire to go to court over such trivial matters with such worthless people.

She, Blood Shadow, what kinds of people did she not dare to kill? What deeds did she not dare to do? What buildings did she not dare to blow up? Having an assassin like herself arguing for herself in court, she truly felt it was inappropriate.

"Then I would have to doubt my own professional capabilities as well." Cheng Jinyan was not a humorous person, especially with unfamiliar people.

But for some reason, the girl before him gave him a feeling of seeming familiarity.

Qiao Ying's mouth curved up slightly. "Then I'll leave it to you, Lawyer Cheng. I'll transfer your legal fees to your account shortly."

Cheng Jinyan stopped her. "Since you're Ye Si's friend, how could I accept that money?"

Qiao Ying: "Let's keep things separate. I'm not accustomed to owing favors."

Cheng Jinyan nodded slightly without saying anything more. He figured that a friend of Ye Si would not lack that amount of money anyway, so there was no point in pushing back and forth.

"Ms. Qiao, you resemble a friend of mine very much."

Qiao Ying was silent, but made a habitual raising of her brow.

Her movement was almost imperceptible, but Cheng Jinyan noticed.

Looking at Qiao Ying's eyes and brows, he said, "Truly very similar."

"She was around your age, also a girl. She was very beautiful, and also very strong. It's just a pity..." It was just a pity that someone so powerful would meet such an end without even her bones remaining.

Looking at Qiao Ying before him who resembled Blood Shadow in every way yet gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity with Blood Shadow, especially in her eyes, Cheng Jinyan felt it must be fate. Although Blood Shadow had died, a girl who looked just like her had appeared, which could be considered a consolation to him and Ye Si.

Rash actions? Was that Ye Si guy planning on fighting to the death with Dark Shadow for her sake? Qiao Ying thought to herself.

At that time, Feng Teng came out and bid Qiao Ying farewell first, then shook Cheng Jinyan's hand again, shamelessly asking for one of Cheng Jinyan's business cards and treasuring it as he put it in his pocket.

Then he said to Qiao Ying, "Ms. Qiao, I came under Mr. Qin's orders. I hope my sudden arrival did not startle you."

Mr. Qin? Cheng Jinyan looked at Qiao Ying in slight surprise.

Someone who could make the mayor himself act so servile, there was probably only that Mr. Qin from the Qin family in the Capital City.

Qiao Ying had guessed it would be something like this.

It was just that she hadn't guessed that this Mr. Qin was not Qin Yuchen, but Qin Hanyue.
