Smash the Clearwater Academy

After Su Li returned home and heard Zhang Mu and Wu Caiwei talk about the village chief's matters, she was initially stunned, then smiled gently. She told Zhang Mu and his wife that Li Yanhao had deliberately chosen Zhang Zhaocai as his servant to save him and that Li Yanhao was secretly planning to deal with Dean Zhang. At the end, she said, "I guess Dean Zhang still doesn't know his good days are over. He only heard the village chief was officially appointed and thought it was his own victory, so he told Zhang Zhuzi, which caused Zhang Zhuzi to misunderstand."

Zhang Mu sighed in relief and said, "So that's how it is."

Wu Caiwei, after hearing this, was stunned for a moment and said, "Ali, Dean Zhang is determined to stop Haizi Academy from opening... Oh no, when Zhang Mu and I came to your house just now, I saw Zhang Zhuzi leading several unfamiliar outsiders on the road, seemingly heading toward the academy!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Mu also remembered and his expression changed. He stood up abruptly, "That scoundrel Zhang Zhuzi must be planning something against the academy!"

Su Li immediately called the household guards and rushed toward the academy.

Before they even reached the academy, they could hear the commotion from afar, mixed with the cries of children.

Zhang Zhuzi held a shovel in his hand, wearing a fierce expression, while Dean Zhang stood beside him in a long robe.

Behind them stood a dozen strong, burly men, each holding weapons, blocking the academy's gate tightly.

The village chief stood in front of Zhang Zhuzi, urgently shouting, "Zhang Zhuzi, you scoundrel! You brought so many people armed to the academy. What are you trying to do!?"

Zhang Zhuzi snorted proudly, "This Haizi Academy is built on my village chief's land. Without my permission, this academy cannot open!"

The village chief spat, "You bastard, pretending to be the village chief. I don't accept that!"

Zhang Zhuzi said, "Whether you accept it or not, I am the village chief appointed by the government!"

Dean Zhang stroked his beard and looked into the academy. The building was solid and beautiful. The students attending class were interrupted, and many gathered in the yard looking outside.

Dean Zhang was surprised to see that Haizi Academy had enrolled so many students. Once the academy was closed, if he could get these students to his Qingmiao Academy, he would earn a lot in tuition fees!

Dean Zhang, eager to snatch the students, said to Zhang Zhuzi, "Why waste time with this old man? You're just a village chief; officials aren't afraid of commoners!"

Zhang Zhuzi slapped his thigh, thinking to himself that he was still a village official after all. Why was he so timid? He wasn't afraid of anything—he was going to do it!

So Zhang Zhuzi shouted, "Brothers, get inside and smash the academy!"

"Alright!"

A group of burly men shouted and charged in unison. The village chief and two teachers desperately tried to block them at the door. The children inside, having never seen such a scene, were terrified; some of the younger ones cried out loud.

"You old bastard, dare to block the village chief's way? Are you looking for death?" Zhang Zhuzi shouted as he raised his foot to kick the village chief.

Just as Zhang Zhuzi was about to kick the village chief, a figure suddenly flashed in front of him, grabbed Zhang Zhuzi's foot, and forcefully lifted it up.

Zhang Zhuzi immediately lost his balance, then received a solid kick to the stomach and was sent flying.

Zhang Mu, along with several of Su Li's servants, charged into the crowd, rolled up his sleeves, and punched down a burly man trying to smash the academy, shouting, "Whoever dares to smash the academy, I'll break his legs!"
