The Ultimate Borer

Chapter 173 Dong Zhuo's Treachery, Cao Cao Imprisoned

"Great Principal, please spare my life—"

"It's none of my business—"

"Please spare my life, father-in-law—"

……

In the principal's office, Dong Zhuo was punching and kicking Li Ru and Mei Niang on the ground, venting his anger.

"What a crap John! What a rubbish 'Lock Maria'! I wasted so much money and time developing this crap thing! It locked Zhao Yun's power for less than a week and it was broken. What a waste of my good plan!"

As Li Ru and Mei Niang screamed, Dong Zhuo was already tired of beating them, but he still angrily kicked the two people on the ground twice to vent his anger.

"Father-in-law, calm down!"

Li Ru covered his swollen eyes, rubbed his chest and tried hard to stand up.

"Pass the order down! Donghan Academy is undergoing reforms. All prices on campus will increase tenfold. Any uncivilized behavior will be fined. If a fight occurs on campus, a fine of 100,000 yuan will be used as military expenses!"

Dong Zhuo spoke angrily, saying that now he could only use this despicable method to restrain the Five Tiger Generals from resorting to violence.

"besides!"

Dong Zhuo stopped Li Ru who was about to go down to issue an order and continued speaking.

"I now nominate Lü Bu as the president of the Donghan Academy Student Union. I also appoint him as the head of the school's patrol department. If anyone objects, they will be dealt with immediately according to the law for violating campus management order!"

"Yes!"

Li Ru and Mei Niang covered their faces and left the principal's office, preparing to read out the order issued by Dong Zhuo.

……

"What the hell is going on? I just bought a drink and they charged me fifty dollars!"

In the cafeteria, Zhang Fei angrily put a bottle of mineral water on the table and said that his family was rich, but he was not a fool. The prices in the Eastern Han Academy were now ridiculously high.

"Dong Zhuo wants us poor students to have no books to read!"

Guan Yu slammed the table in anger. There were many students in the Eastern Han Academy whose family conditions were not very good. They were able to study in the Eastern Han Dynasty because their families were once aristocrats. They usually went to school with the help of subsidies and scholarships given by Principal Wang Yun.

"I will explain this matter clearly to Principal Wang Yun!"

Cao Cao nodded. Dong Zhuo had indeed gone too far this time. Students were the foundation of the Eastern Han Academy. Dong Zhuo's move was clearly self-destructive!

Cao Cao did not linger too long and went straight to Principal Wang Yun's office. However, Li Ru and Mei Niang seemed to have anticipated that Cao Cao would come to find Principal Wang Yun, and they intercepted him 50 meters outside the principal's office.

"You two, what's the matter?"

Cao Cao looked at the two guys in front of him who were like jumping clowns. If they were not Dong Zhuo's lackeys, he would have ordered his own troops to tear these two bastards into pieces.

"Excuse me, Cao Cao, the principal's office is ahead. No one is allowed to approach!"

Mei Niang said arrogantly, constantly pushing Cao Cao and driving him backwards.

"Principal Wang Yun once stipulated that any student of the Eastern Han Academy who encountered difficulties could go to the principal's office for help. Moreover, I, Cao Cao, am the president of the Eastern Han Academy's student union. Principal Wang Yun has granted me special permission to enter the principal's office at any time!"

Cao Cao looked at the two people in front of him coldly. His intuition told him that it would definitely be no good if these two guys stood in his way.

"Oh my, my apologies, classmate Cao Cao. Just this morning, our greatest principal in history, Principal Dong Zhuo, has decreed that you are no longer the president of the Student Union of our Donghan Academy. Our current president is Lu Bu!"

Li Ru spoke to Cao Cao arrogantly with a triumphant smile on his face.

"Also, Principal Wang Yun's rules have been revised. No outsiders are allowed to approach the principal's office!"

"What? Dong Zhuo replaced the Student Union President? Why didn't I receive the news? The students didn't hold a second election! What right did he have to appoint Lu Bu as president?"

Cao Cao was somewhat incredulous that he was removed from his position without even knowing it.

"Our great Principal Dong Zhuo said that the previous system of the Eastern Han Dynasty is outdated. Now we must fully implement our new campus management rules and regulations. If you are dissatisfied, you can go to Principal Dong Zhuo to explain!"

Li Ru and Mei Niang said arrogantly that with Dong Zhuo as their backer, they had nothing to fear.

"good, very good, excellent!"

Cao Cao looked at the two men in front of him and said angrily that he really did not expect Dong Zhuo to be so domineering and shameless.

"Student Cao Cao, I advise you to pay more attention to your own affairs. Our great principal has already investigated what you did that night!"

Mei Niang reminded him "kindly". Her words surprised Cao Cao, but Cao Cao did not show it. He just pretended to doubt it.

"What night? What did I do? How come I don't know?"

"Humph! You're still playing dumb even now. I see you won't cry until you see the coffin!"

After saying that, Li Ru and Mei Niang turned around and stood again fifty meters away from the principal's office, no longer paying attention to Cao Cao who had been driven out by them.

……

"President, I think you should stay out of the spotlight for a while. I'm really afraid Dong Zhuo will take action against you!"

After hearing what Cao Cao said, Guan Yu and Fang Mu immediately advised him.

"Yes, everyone knows who Dong Zhuo is. He's the most vindictive person. Since you've been exposed, President, thankfully he doesn't have any evidence yet. Why don't you stay out of the spotlight for now? If anything happens, we'll notify you!"

Xiu started to speak, but Cao Cao shook his head unexpectedly.

"I can't leave. The Eastern Han Academy is leaderless now, and we don't know what's going on with Principal Wang Yun. If I leave, it will be even harder for you to deal with Dong Zhuo!"

Cao Cao had a gloomy face because he had made a wrong move at the beginning. Who could have thought that Lu Bu would suddenly become so powerful?

"In that case, we can only take it one step at a time!"

Fang Mu looked at Cao Cao who refused to leave and could only say helplessly.

However, Dong Zhuo's actions were obviously faster than Fang Mu and others expected. That afternoon, Li Ru and Mei Niang arrived at the Cao family compound with their guards and guns, and asked to see Cao Cao.

"I wonder if you two have any advice?"

Cao Cao still pretended to be stupid, but this time it was no use.

"Cao Cao, you've been caught!"

Mei Niang shouted at Cao Cao with a wicked grin, while taking out a CD from her waist.

"This is the video footage we've obtained of your Cao family martial arts. It includes footage of your daily practice sessions. It shows that your dragon-shaped Qi is identical to the one used by the thief Lu Bu encountered a few days ago who ambushed our great principal, Dong Zhuo. Please come with us!"

"And this kind of dragon-shaped true qi is only cultivated by members of your Cao family. Guards, immediately apprehend Cao Cao, the man who committed treason and attacked the principal!"

Li Ru commanded the guards and immediately tied up Cao Cao.

"Brothers, don't be impulsive!"

The Five Tiger Generals were about to take action when they were immediately stopped by Fang Mu because the guards had already raised their guns at several of them.

"It seems there are still some people who know what's happening. If any of you dare to act rashly, the bullets in our guns are indiscriminate!"

Li Ru smiled triumphantly, then arrogantly escorted Cao Cao back to the Eastern Han Academy with his guards and locked him up in the solitary confinement room.

The next day, the school posted a notice:

Cao Cao, the former president of the Donghan Academy Student Union, was sentenced to death in three days for his insubordination and failed assassination attempt on Vice President Dong Zhuo, which seriously violated the campus autonomy regulations!

……

"Brother, do you have any way to save the president?"

"That's right, the president has helped us so much, but now we can't do anything. It's so frustrating!"

"I'm so angry! Dong Zhuo is so despicable! If it were you, I'd say we should just march into the principal's office right now and force Dong Zhuo to release the president immediately!"

"Zhang Fei, don't be impulsive!"

"Yes, Third Brother, if we really do this, that's exactly what Dong Zhuo wants to see. He will accuse every one of us of a crime!"

Ma Chao looked at Fang Mu with concern.

"Master, you are the smartest here. Do you have any way to save the president?"

Fang Mu leaned leisurely on the sofa and smiled indifferently.

"I can't save Cao Cao, but there's someone who can!"

As soon as Fang Mu finished speaking, the speakers in the living room turned on automatically and started playing.

"Liu Bei, I am your grandmother. Come to the back garden and pay my respects!"
