Episode 2

The thought of avenging Tina Shen made me happy, so I enthusiastically pulled my roommate to choose a perfect spot in the classroom.

My roommate looked at the spot directly facing the podium, the ideal spot I called "right time, right place, and right people." He hesitated and said, "That spot is good, you go ahead. Don't drag me along. I'll just be a third wheel and won't disturb you."

"But I'm alone, I'm scared! Come sit with me and boost my confidence!" Although I was a bit excited to do this for the first time, deep down, I was still timid.

My roommate was very supportive but firmly refused, "The road to becoming a champion is lonely. Don't be afraid, go for it! I believe in you."

I knew she was afraid because of whatEason Shenhad put her through, so I didn't insist.

Leaning on my headrest, I waited forEason Shen. The latecomers had no choice but to sit beside me with awkward expressions on their faces.

One of them frowned as he glanced at the prime spot I had saved for my roommate and lamented, "I overslept, didn't grab a good seat!"

"Come on, it's not that bad fellow student. We architecture students struggle to get seats even if we come late."

Just as people started chatting,Eason Shenentered the classroom, and instantly, silence fell upon the room.

That classmate muttered under his breath, "Courageous student." Then he lowered his head and buried himself in the textbook, as if wishing to disappear within its pages.

I stared atEason Shen, and it seemed like he sensed my intense gaze. He looked in my direction, and while everyone prayed for me silently, three words echoed in my mind: "Despicable civilized scum."

Eason Shenstood at the podium for two hours, and I propped my head on the desk the entire time, watching him.

Because of his terrifying questioning during attendance, everyone in the classroom trembled with fear. I kept my eyes on him until he noticed me.

As expected, the strategy worked. He didn't call my name, after all, I wasn't in their class, so he couldn't really point me out.

Consequently, he called out everyone else and then gave me a meaningful look.

The student next to me whispered, "Seriously? You're actually attending his class?"

That look, that tone made me question my decision in my heart.

"I... I'm just eager to learn."

"Brave of you!"

Well, he was also brave, talking to me and catchingEason Shen's attention.

With just a single glance, I felt scared, and suddenly, I lost my nerve. This wasn't a rational choice.

The classmate shrank his neck, barely daring to move, as if afraid even breathing would alertEason Shen.

"This student here,"Eason Shen's thin lips gently opened, and his clear voice turned into a chilling blade in their ears. The most nervous and uneasy individual was probably the one beside me, who shrunk like a quail. I nearly burst out laughing.

The already quiet classroom fell even quieter.

"The male student in the second row, third seat, who's currently bowing his head."

The student reluctantly stood up as if resigned to his fate.

Eason Shenlooked at me, but his words were directed to the standing student, "Please analyze this case."

I couldn't dare to look at him and pretended to focus on the projector, but my head was throbbing.

"A 19-year-old university student named Zhang repeatedly used his roommate Wang's mobile phone without permission to make calls. Wang noticed an abnormally high phone bill and intended to check the call details. Worried that he might be caught, Zhang lured Wang to the rooftop of their dormitory on a specific date, armed with a nylon rope, a kitchen knife, and a fruit knife. When Wang was off guard, Zhang mercilessly attacked him by slashing his head, neck, shoulders, and hands dozens of times with the kitchen knife until he believed Wang was dead, before fleeing the scene. Later, Wang, lying in a pool of blood, was discovered by his classmates and rushed to the hospital for rescue. According to the forensic examination, Wang had suffered severe injuries and was classified as a level 6 disability."

The hesitant student answered, "Based on the case, Zhang had full criminal responsibility and fulfilled the elements of the intentional homicide offense under the Criminal Law, without any lawful self-defense or other justifiable reasons. Therefore, he committed intentional homicide."

Eason Shenwasn't planning to let him go just yet and asked, "Is there anything else?"

The student didn't seem to know much else and struggled to find the right words.

Eason Shenadded, "According to our Criminal Procedure Law, for the losses caused to the victim by criminal activities, the perpetrator shall bear civil liability and can be sued concurrently in criminal and civil proceedings. Is that correct?"

"I... I suppose so."

Eason Shensmiled faintly, looking gentle, but his words were like thunder, "Very well. This student, please copy the entire 'Criminal Law' for me. Hand it in by next Friday."

Truly a poisonous beauty. The better looking they are, the more ruthless they become. Copying the entire "Criminal Law," it's such a thick book. I was already starting to regret it.

When I looked at the classmate again, his face had turned ashen, but he still didn't dare to say anything.

After class, that classmate slumped on the desk, and I felt a bit guilty for it all. If it weren't for me, he wouldn't have caught Shen Yusan's attention.

I patted my classmate's shoulder and said, "Hey, do you want me to help you copy half of it?"

He waved his hand at me as if he were a delicate thread and said, "Do you still think he's good-looking?"

I told the truth, "Yeah, he's quite good-looking."

"Then you'll have to face the consequences yourself!"

His words reminded me of the way he had just looked at me, and a wave of fear washed over me. I realized I had acted impulsively and needed to think things through carefully.
