Chapter 40 - Disciplinary department

Wu Hu, the eldest son of the Wu family, the elder brother of Wu Lie, was a scheming and meticulous man. He was the man with the plan and quickly rose to the ranks within the disciplinary committee. Within 2 years of being on the disciplinary committee, he was already appointed as the head of the committee.

Most of his plans and his actions that were made within the committee always ended up being profitable to the Wu family and his grandfather was truly happy. As a disciplinary elder, he was one of 2 elders with such power, needless to say, the infighting between the 2 elders was very fierce. Both want their own disciples to inherit the position. Right now, Wu Hu was taking a front seat role so the other disciplinary elder could only keep quiet and watch in silence as the Wu Family did what they liked.

Coming closer to his grandfather Wu Hu closed his folding fan as he started to explain himself.

"Grandfather, the one who attacked little Lie, is a kid by the name of Lin Dong, he is the young son of the Lin Family and he has always been trash."

"Little Lie got beaten by someone like that!?" Elder Wu smashed the side of his chair creating splinters that flew everywhere.

"Grandfather, please calm down first, let me finish my explanation. So he was a trash until recently when he founded the middle earth company. He also broke through during the inner disciple test and became a core disciple." Wu Hu calmed his grandfather down as he continued explaining.

"Hoh, so it's a nouveau riche brat, who thinks because of his money he can do whatever he wants? Hahaha! I enjoy these kinds of people, they will lose their fortune as quickly as they get it. So, little Hu, what's your plan?"

Elder Wu asked, curious about how his grandson would resolve the situation.

"After looking into the situation it seems that the incident was caused between a student called Shi Tou and little Lie having a run-in. After which they went to settle it with a fight. This Lin Dong, stood up for Shi Tou, so I'm assuming he's the one who has a close relationship with Lin Dong.

Recently, there has been a trend of things called gyms opening up all over the cities. I have traced them to be from Lin Dong. He owns the gyms and right now he opened one right here in the school as it happens, Shi Tou is the trainer there. Lin Dong hasn't paid the school anything in taxes and it gives us the disciplinary committee the right to confiscate it on behalf of the school.

Which means we can force him to give us ownership of the rest of the gyms, because the amount he invested using school credits would be lost, he has more money than student points, so by doing that we can gain the whole chain of gyms to the Wu Family."

Wu Hu said confidently, he had planned everything out and by telling his grandfather about it, he was confident that he could completely control Lin Dong's business.

"Very good! Little Hu, bring some people and discuss with Lin Dong to see if we can have a compromise."

Wu Hu smiled as he left the hall with Wu Lie following him in tow.

Back in the gym, there were crowds of people in the gym with another crowd waiting outside for the next time slot.

Zhu Jiao sat in the gym behind the counter with his employees looking at everyone working out. He can turn off his and everything seems more normal now, so he was at least happy about that fact. The amount of work Shi Tou is doing, it warmed his heart that he found such a good trainer.

"Let's bring it in for a cool down guys!"

Shi Tou spoke as he gathered everyone and let them cool down before sending them off. Because of his immense popularity, he had to start to chase people away, politely of course.

"Lin Dong! I really enjoy the classes here! I don't feel breathless anymore! I still feel guilty that I'm not paying for the classes."

Yang Yan who just came out of the previous class called out to Zhu Jiao who was seated behind the counter.

"Don't worry about it, it's fine! Just ask more of your friends to join the fun! That's enough for me."

Yang Yan felt immense guilt, she had previously looked down on Zhu Jiao and treated him really badly, even wanting to divorce him. But not only did he not take it to heart he even allowed her to come to the gym for free.

Meanwhile, Zhu Jiao thought within his mind.

"Luckily she didn't deviate too much, she looks so much better now!"

Jimmy appeared in his mind-space and replied

"Yeah, seriously, but why did you give it to her for free though?"

"Can you imagine if I charged her for school credits and she didn't want to pay? I cannot bear to see her walking around like that."

"Fair enough," Jimmy shrugged.

Shi Tou came in front of Zhu Jiao and spoke to him.

"Boss! I know I've been telling you this so many times in the past few weeks, but thanks to you, my cultivation and my fitness have both increased. If I haven't met you… I would… I would…"

Getting more and more agitated, he wanted to lunge forward and gave Zhu Jiao a hug, instantly Zhu Jiao stuck his hand out stopping Shi Tou from approaching closer to him.

"Enough! We don't need this kind of scenes."

"Move out of the way!" A loud voice boomed as a group of people squeezed through the door.

"Quit pushing!"

"Why is the Disciplinary Department here!?"

"You! Are you Lin Dong? The disciplinary department is here for an investigation! You are to close the gym today and assist with the investigation!"
