Li* was stunned in place, only coming back to his senses after An Xiaoran helped Lin Beichen into the ambulance.
Seeing the mocking looks from the surrounding classmates, Li*’s face turned grim. If there were a crack in the ground right now, he would undoubtedly crawl into it!
"Should we report this to the higher-ups?"
On the way to the hospital, Hao Jianhua was extremely conflicted.
He didn’t know what connection Lin Beichen had with the National* Bureau, but he was certain that Lin Beichen was very important to it.
Otherwise, how else would the dignified head of the National* Bureau personally call to excuse him? Not even the head of the National* Bureau had time for such things for his own son.
"Better make the call."
After careful consideration, Hao Jianhua finally made a decision.
No matter Lin Beichen’s relationship with the National* Bureau, he absolutely cannot let anything happen to Lin Beichen in front of him.
"Keep an eye on him."
With the help of Atlantis University, Hao Jianhua secured a private room at Atlantis Hospital.
The room is on the top floor of the hospital, the best in Atlantis, without a doubt.
"So, thank you very much for your help."
After expressing his gratitude to the president of Atlantis University on the other end of the phone, Hao Jianhua hung up.
Standing on the balcony, Hao Jianhua glanced through the window at Lin Beichen lying on the hospital bed. Fortunately, the doctor had just said that Lin Beichen was not in life-threatening condition, which eased the pressure in Hao Jianhua’s heart significantly.
Otherwise, he really wouldn’t know how to explain this to the head of the National* Bureau or how the other party would deal with him.
"Hello, I am the president of Imperial Capital University. Please transfer me to the Minister."
Hearing Hao Jianhua’s name, the staff of the Ministry of Education did not hesitate and directly transferred the call.
"How did it go? Was it successful?"
The voice of the Minister of Education came through, sounding in a good mood.
After all, Imperial Capital University was the only university in the Asian region invited; naturally, the Minister of Education would feel proud.
"Not very smooth."
Hao Jianhua’s deep voice came through the phone, causing the smile on the Minister’s face to freeze instantly. After Hao Jianhua briefly explained the events, the Minister of Education didn’t hesitate and directly transferred the call to Song Xiangdong’s office.
Meanwhile, in the office of the president of Atlantis University, the president reported the freshly obtained news to Griffin.
There was a short silence from Griffin on the other end of the phone, followed by sounds of cursing and smashing.
The president of Atlantis University shrugged helplessly; he could understand Griffin’s reaction.
He even thought that if their positions were switched, he would probably be furious as well.
However, the subsequent matters were no longer within his control. He simply said to call him anytime if needed, and then hung up the phone.
"Hei Yi, do you think that guy named Lin Beichen might be a turtle?"
After wrecking his office to resemble a post-disaster scene, Griffin had somewhat vented his anger.
Hei Yi, who was calculating the costs to renovate the office, suddenly heard Griffin’s voice and hadn’t yet reacted.
"I remember they have a saying in Dragon Country, don’t they? ’A thousand-year turtle, ten thousand-year tortoise!’"
Hearing this, Hei Yi struggled to suppress his laughter, not expecting Griffin to have such thoughts at this moment.
Though he desperately wanted to laugh, he restrained himself.
"He actually managed to fall into the artificial ocean, so he is somewhat lucky."
At this point, all Hei Yi could do was comfort Griffin a bit.
"Have you considered that those five people couldn’t kill Lin Beichen?"
With his anger somewhat dissipated, Griffin’s face turned so dark it seemed it could drip water.
No matter how furious he was, Griffin needed to figure out Lin Beichen’s secrets.
"You mean..."
Hearing Griffin’s words, Hei Yi’s pupils dilated suddenly, instantly understanding what Griffin meant.
"Exactly, that guy is definitely not as simple as the intel suggests."
Just as Griffin finished speaking, the office door was abruptly pushed open.
Without even looking at the door, Griffin shouted angrily.
"Can’t you knock? Didn’t I say no one can come in without my permission!"
Hearing Griffin’s words, the person entering the room didn’t get angry but responded with a hint of amusement.
"I didn’t expect Mr. Griffin to be in such a rage. It seems I’ve come at just the right time."
Upon hearing this voice, Griffin looked towards the door.
A tall man stood there, dressed in an ancient, medieval-style costume. The golden-rimmed glasses did little to hide the wisdom and cunning in his eyes!
"Mr. Kaelmes?"
Griffin’s face was filled with disbelief. Although not unfamiliar with Kaelmes, this was their first meeting. His understanding of Kaelmes had always been based on legend.
It was said that Kaelmes came from an ancient Knight Clan. No one knew his true strength, but he was famed for his brilliant mind.
"I never expected the Minister would send you to help me."
Griffin’s voice carried a hint of melancholy.
Hearing Griffin’s words, Kaelmes smiled slightly and deliberately adopted a sarcastic tone.
