Chapter 1254: Chapter 1254: These People Are Way Too Bold

The contestants from Changping have all arrived, including those not competing today, except for Ye Fei.

"Why hasn’t Ye Fei arrived yet?" Ye Huasong kept checking the time.

"There’s still an hour and a half, there’s time," Guo Wenbo said, but his face was also filled with anxiety.

"We say an hour and a half, but the Yin San team will arrive by 10 at the latest. If Ye Fei isn’t here by then, it’ll be too late," Ye Huasong said. "If she’s not here when the contestants are introduced, even if she arrives by half-past ten, it won’t help."

"That’s still an hour," Guo Wenbo said.

However, Guo Wenbo was also calculating in his mind who could substitute if Ye Fei really couldn’t make it.

"Ye Fei isn’t someone who would leave things unclear," Ye Huasong said with a frown. "Even if she’s late due to unavoidable circumstances, she’d call to explain."

"Do you think something happened to Ye Fei?" Huo Jiarong asked the group, concerned.

At this moment, Guo Wenbo’s phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number.

Guo Wenbo answered it and heard Ye Fei’s voice: "Teacher Guo, I’m so sorry, I might be delayed."

"What’s going on?" Guo Wenbo heard the sound of things banging around on the other end, it was particularly chaotic, "What happened over there?"

"We encountered extortionists on the road, but it’s not just about money, it’s more like they’re trying to stop me from getting to the competition."

"Who did this?" Guo Wenbo immediately went into conspiracy mode.

Could it be people from Yin San Country?

How do they know Ye Fei is the one being sent?

Furthermore, how do they know Ye Fei is strong?

If we say they’re dumb, they at least know to block Ye Fei.

But if they’re smart, why not block the others too?

If they blocked all the contestants, they wouldn’t even need to fight to win.

Guo Wenbo attributed all his conspiracy theories to Yin San Country.

He didn’t suspect his own contestants at all.

The bonds among these kids are so strong, there’s no way they’d try to block others just to compete themselves.

"I have a guess, it’s a problem on my end," Ye Fei said, "Sorry, my personal issues have affected the competition."

"We’ve already reported it to the police, and Zhao Gushen is on his way. I’m just not sure if I can get to the school on time. So, Teacher Guo, in case I can’t make it, please find someone suitable to replace me."

Guo Wenbo could still hear the "bang bang" sounds from the other side, along with shouting: "What’s the situation over there now?"

"People have surrounded the car, and Xiao Qiu can’t just run them over, so the car can’t move," Ye Fei explained. "However, fortunately, the car has been modified, so even though they’re hitting it, they can’t break through, so we’re pretty safe inside."

Although Ye Fei said this, Guo Wenbo could imagine, having a group of people smashing around the car, even if they couldn’t break through, sitting inside must be terrifying.

"Where are you now? I’ll calculate the distance. If you’re close to the school, we’ll send security over; it would be faster than President Zhao." Guo Wenbo said.

Ye Fei quickly checked the navigation and told Guo Wenbo the location.

"Then you’re not far from the school, about half an hour’s drive," Guo Wenbo said. "Regardless of where President Zhao and the police are, I’ll send the school’s security over first, just in case they arrive earlier."

"How many of them are there?" Guo Wenbo asked again.

"There are 12 people," Ye Fei said.

"Okay, you must take care of yourselves," Guo Wenbo reminded again.

Without saying much more to Ye Fei, he quickly contacted the security department.

Once everything was arranged, everyone came to ask Guo Wenbo.

Guo Wenbo was busy with important matters, and everyone was afraid of delaying things, so they held back their questions.

Guo Wenbo explained the situation, and Tian Pengpo cursed, "It must be those bastards from Yin San Country!"

Others concurred, "That bunch of people are so shameless."

They hadn’t participated in past competitions but had watched them.

In every competition they’ve attended, Yin San Country has never done anything good.

Fair competition? They probably don’t even know how to spell those words in English in Yin San Country.

As for Chinese, forget it; they certainly can’t read it.

Guo Wenbo: "..."

So, in everyone’s mind, exactly how shameless is Yin San Country?

The moment something happens, they’re the first ones to come to mind.

Oh, wait, there’s also Koryo Country.

Everyone thought, when comparing these two countries, it’s hard to tell which one is more shameless.

It’s just that they’re shameless in different ways.

"Actually, it’s not their fault," Guo Wenbo explained. "According to Ye Fei, it’s due to some personal affairs on her side."

Everyone fell silent, their minds conjuring up a complex tale of family feuds.

"So, if Ye Fei can arrive in time and adjust her state, she’ll still compete," Guo Wenbo said.

Nobody objected to this.

They all tasted each other’s dishes yesterday.

Even in unfavorable conditions where no one had an appetite, just smelling it made them nauseous.

They could still taste the deliciousness of Ye Fei’s cooking.

"But if she really can’t make it, Zhou Junhao, you will be the substitute," Guo Wenbo said.

"Yes," Zhou Junhao nodded.

Meanwhile, here on Ye Fei’s side, the security sent by Changping Academy, the people Zhao Gushen brought, and the police all arrived almost simultaneously.

Basically, it was just a matter of seconds apart.

In front, the security from Changping Academy parked their car in front of Ye Fei’s car.

Behind, a police car with sirens blaring arrived.

At the same time, Zhao Gushen also stopped his car beside Ye Fei’s car with his people.

"Stop!" The police got out of their car and ran over quickly.

These people were too bold!

In broad daylight, they dared to extort money openly.

This wasn’t extortion; it was robbery!

This was intentional harm!

Without needing Zhao Gushen’s men or Changping’s security to act, the police quickly subdued these people.

Furthermore, with the police present, it was inconvenient for Zhao Gushen’s men to act.

Those people, seeing the arrival of the police, weren’t completely fearless.

Seeing that things were going badly, they tried to retreat.

But in front of them was the security from Changping Academy blocking them, preventing anyone from escaping.

And Zhao Gushen’s men were on both sides.

Qiu Xingwen also took the opportunity to get out of the car, hurrying to help block them.

With their cooperation, the police barely had any chance to make a move other than handcuffing them.

"Xiao Fei! Xiao Mo!" Zhao Gushen hurried to open the door.

He saw the little one being protected in Ye Fei’s arms.

Both of them looked at him simultaneously.

"Are you alright?" Zhao Gushen quickly asked, "Were you scared?"

"I’m okay," Ye Fei said, "but I’m afraid Xiao Mo was scared."

Zhao Gushen picked up Xiao Mo.

The little one was indeed scared and immediately clung to Zhao Gushen’s neck.

At this moment, the police approached Zhao Gushen to understand the situation.
