School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert

"How can this be considered reckless?" Li Qiangguo hurriedly said, "In international competitions, we have never achieved good results in sprinting, and now, Liu Xiang has retired, our country needs excellent talent in this field even more."

Li Hengzhong looked at Liu Jinmei and asked, "Teacher Liu, how is Xiao Han's academic performance?"

"Let me put it this way," Liu Jinmei said with a light smile, "In the recent city-wide joint exam, he scored seven hundred and twenty points. First in his class, second in the entire grade. Xiao Han is absolutely Tsinghua University and Peking University material. There's no doubt about it."

"My God!" Li Hengzhong was stunned once again by Xiao Han's academic performance.

Whether it's sports or academics, any one of these achievements would be astonishing. This is only for a high school senior. He has already caught up with major international events. Having such results, he is indeed very impressive, truly remarkable.

"So, Principal, it's up to you to decide!" Li Qiangguo hurriedly said.

"Yes, you decide," Liu Jinmei added.

This immediately put Li Hengzhong in a difficult position. If he had Xiao Han focus on sports, it would clearly be a waste of such outstanding academic performance. However, if he didn't let Xiao Han practice sports, then he would be failing to utilize the incredible speed gifted by the heavens. Indeed, a dilemma.

"How about this, teachers," Li Hengzhong glanced at them and then said, "Give me some time to think it over, and I'll see what can be done."

"This..." Both were somewhat distressed.

If Li Hengzhong didn't make a choice, they obviously wouldn't be able to rest easy. But after all, Li Hengzhong was the principal.

"After all, we need to ask Xiao Han himself about this," Li Hengzhong said.

"But Xiao Han didn't come to class today!" Li Qiangguo said.

"Teacher Liu, where is Xiao Han?" Li Hengzhong asked.

"I don't know," Liu Jinmei shook her head, "He didn't ask for leave from me."

"This is skipping class!" Li Hengzhong looked at Liu Jinmei in surprise. Having achieved second place in the city-wide exam surely indicates a student who loves learning, so why would he skip class?

"That's not like him, he's never skipped class before," Liu Jinmei shook her head, then said, "The last time he had something to do, he even asked for leave."

"Could something have happened?" Li Hengzhong asked, concerned.

"That can't be," Liu Jinmei turned pale upon hearing this, and quickly said, "Xiao Han is already nineteen, he's an adult. How could something have happened to him."

"Then... why did he suddenly not come to class?" Li Hengzhong, a seasoned teacher, furrowed his brow and said, "Logically, a student who has never skipped class wouldn't have a reason or justify being absent. Unless something happened."

"That makes sense!" Li Qiangguo said urgently, "The principal's analysis makes sense. Based on my many years of teaching experience, it's impossible for a student to just not show up without a reason. Unless something happened."

At this, Liu Jinmei became anxious.

"No, that won't do!" Liu Jinmei said in a panic, "I'm going to check his home!"

After speaking, Liu Jinmei quickly walked outside.

"Wait," Li Hengzhong said urgently.

"What is it?" Liu Jinmei asked quickly, "Is there something wrong?"

"No, I will go with you!" Li Hengzhong said quickly, "In case there is something, we can discuss what to do."

"I'll go too!" Li Qiangguo said urgently.

Afterwards, the three of them hurriedly left.

Li Hengzhong's official car was a Volkswagen Passat, and he drove to Xiao Han's house himself. Although Li Hengzhong didn't know where Xiao Han's home was, Liu Jinmei, as Xiao Han's homeroom teacher, had a clear memory of his address. Not only of Xiao Han, but also for all forty-five students in the class. Where they live, what their parents do.

On the way, Liu Jinmei briefly reported Xiao Han's situation to Li Hengzhong.

"So, Xiao Han is a child who hasn't had it easy," Li Hengzhong asked.

"Exactly!" Liu Jinmei nodded, "He was the top scorer in Wangjiang District's middle school examination. Later, his father died in a car accident, leaving mother and son to rely on each other. After that, his grades plummeted..."

Li Hengzhong felt it strange; a student's performance could be very poor for two years, and then suddenly, in the third year, he rises and becomes the second in the entire grade. It was almost like a miracle.

"Could it be... for those two years, he has been studying hard all along, but deliberately hiding it?" Li Hengzhong asked curiously.

"Impossible!" Liu Jinmei shook her head, "A person's academic performance is reflected in their spirit and demeanor. Before, Xiao Han always looked listless. But ever since that one exam, there was an incredible change in his spirit."

Liu Jinmei is a gold medal teacher, and this was not just for show. She had rich teaching experience and her own set of beliefs regarding student understanding.

"Indeed!" Li Hengzhong nodded.

At that moment, Li Hengzhong drove to the Fuxing Community. It was a community with a very pleasant environment. Huge trees had already grown on both sides of the shade-covered roads. In summer, many elderly people would gather here to enjoy the cool, play Chinese chess, smoke, drink tea, and talk about life...

In short, although Fuxing Community's economy had declined, its spirit never had. All the elderly here were employees of the Fuxing Factory, and they all had pensions after retirement. That's why they could afford to spend their old age in such a lovely setting.

Upon entering the community, the weather was chilly. There were quite a few people on the streets. Many old people, wearing thick cotton-padded jackets, gathered on the roadsides to enjoy the sun and sip tea while engaging in leisurely chats about life.

When they saw a nice car coming in, many curiously looked over.

"All I know is that Xiao Han's family lives here," Liu Jinmei said. "But I don't know which row of houses exactly!"

"No problem, we can go down and ask around!" Li Hengzhong said with a smile.

The car stopped in front of a crowd. A bunch of people curiously stared at them, these faces were unfamiliar. What kind of people were they? The old men and women had nothing much to do, so they looked on with interest.

"Elderly folks!" Li Hengzhong said with a smile. "I am the principal of Linjiang No.1 Middle School."

"Oh..." Upon hearing this, everyone became eager. "Are you the well-known principal of the prestigious No.1 Middle School?"

The crowd became lively. Upon learning he was the principal of No.1 Middle School, they naturally showed their utmost enthusiasm, for after all, he was an intellectual. These old people had lived through the fifties and sixties, and their admiration for intellectuals was sincere. Moreover, being the principal of the most famous No.1 Middle School in LJ city, their veneration was even greater.

"Principal, what brings you to our Fuxing Factory?" an old man asked curiously.

"It's nothing serious, just here to find a student!" Li Hengzhong replied.

"A student?" Upon hearing this, they were all taken aback. The principal coming to their doorstep, which child had been so mischievous? The old man quickly asked, "Principal, what's the name of the student you're looking for?"

"The name is... Xiao Han!" Li Hengzhong hurriedly responded.

"Xiao Han?" Upon hearing this, everyone widened their eyes in surprise.

"The Xiao family's kid?" the old man blinked and asked, "Did he... did he do something wrong? That child's family is poor, but very sensible. It's just him and his mother, scraping by with a low income, yet they still manage to send the kid to school. Principal, you should show some leniency."

"Yeah, Xiao Han is a sensible child!" the old men and women of the community pleaded on his behalf.

"No, no, no!" Li Hengzhong quickly waved his hands, saying, "I think everyone has misunderstood. Xiao Han hasn't caused any trouble. On the contrary, I've come to find him because there are some matters."

"What matters?" The old people were very intrigued.

"Er..." Li Hengzhong thought for a moment and then said with a wry smile, "This child has exceptional academic talent, ranking second in the entire school on the latest tests. But he also shows phenomenal athletic talent, especially in the 100 meters sprint, where he has incredible burst power. In the future, he is undoubtedly a child who can bring honor to our country. So... "

"I understand, I understand," the old man quickly interjected. "So, you want him to learn sports?"

"That's for him to decide," Li Hengzhong said with a smile. "I came to find him precisely because of this matter."

"Isn't today Thursday?" an old person suddenly spoke up. "Shouldn't Xiao Han be in school?"

"Right!" Li Hengzhong nodded. "I don't know what happened, but the kid didn't come to school today."

"Where could he have gone?" the old man asked in bewilderment. "Has something happened?"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The group of old people immediately became anxious.

"That's why we want to go to his house to see what's going on," Li Hengzhong explained with a smile. "Only... we don't know where his house is!"

"Quick, let's go check his house!" the group of old people said one after another.

Soon after, a group of people swiftly sprang into action.

The elderly folks of the community mobilized en masse, leading Li Hengzhong and his companions in a mighty procession toward Xiao Han's house.

Mother Xiao was at home preparing lunch, a dish of pickled vegetables and another of fermented tofu. This was her midday meal, along with a plate of leftover rice from last night, which she steamed in a pot. It was her lunch for the day.

"Little Xiao!" The old man walked quickly, and Li Hengzhong found it hard to keep up.

Mother Xiao, hearing someone calling her from outside, came out curiously. At that moment, a crowd walked towards her house. With such a large group approaching, Mother Xiao was a bit puzzled. She quickly asked, "Old Master Liu, what's... what's all this about?"

"This is..."

"Hello, Mother Xiao. I am the principal of Linjiang No.1 Middle School. We've come to find Xiao Han!" Li Hengzhong hurried to say.

"Ah?!" Mother Xiao was suddenly taken aback, looking confused, "Xiao Han? What's happened to Xiao Han…"
