Chapter 26 Threatening to Expel Him
After taking a cold glance at Jimmy, who had finally shown his true-colors, Zachary turned around and walked out of the laboratory.
After exiting the lab, he didn't have much appetite. He shook his head and was ready to go back to the library.
At that moment, Vanessa, who was dressed in a white dress, walked towards him. She was so beautiful that she looked like a fairy.
Seeing Zachary's expression, Vanessa asked, "Zachary, what happened? Why are you unhappy?"
Zachary shook his head lightly and waved his hand, "It's nothing. It's just a small matter."
Hearing this, Vanessa felt disappointed. "Zachary, I know I can't do anything much. But as your friend, I really hope I can do something for you."
"Vanessa, that's not what I mean," Zachary quickly summarized his talk with Mr. Yan just now.
Vanessa's cheeks were puffed with anger. She widened her eyes, "They've gone too far!"
"It's okay. They can't do anything as long as I don't agree to it," Zachary comforted her.
A tall and handsome boy strode over. He looked at Zachary and asked, "Are you Zachary Ching?"
His arrogant tone annoyed Zachary, who frowned, "Yes, what's the matter?"
"Principal Wu asked you to go to his office. Now." The guy glanced at Zachary and said. His eyes' lit up when he saw Vanessa, who was standing next to Zachary. He reached out his right hand for a handshake and smiled, "Nice to meet you, Vanessa. I'm Charles Yu, the President of the Student Society."
However, Vanessa did not pay attention to him at all. She tugged Zachary's arm and said with a worried look, "Zachary, why is Principal Wu looking for you? Is it because of what happened just now?"
Zachary frowned slightly, "Perhaps!" In fact, Zachary knew that Principal Wu wanted to see him because of the formulation. Charles was displeased. He snorted and said to Zachary, "Principal Wu asked you to go there immediately. Hurry up now!" Zachary glanced at him coldly, "I have something to do. I can't go," Then, he grabbed Vanessa's hand and turned to leave. "Listen clearly. This is the headmaster's order," Charles shouted coldly.
"Students are here to study, not to become slaves. Even the headmaster has no right to order me around," Zachary said sternly.
Charles was fuming with anger, "How dare you! This is Principal Wu's order. You have to go even if you don't want to." He thought he had an advantage over Zachary because he was more burly. Therefore, he stretched out his hand to grab Zachary's arm.
"Go ahead and be the headmaster's dog. I'm not interested in being one."
"Get out!" Facing Charles' outstretched arm, Zachary flicked his finger on Charles' elbow swiftly.
Charles let out a pained scream and squatted on the ground, grimacing in pain while holding his arm.
Zachary grabbed Vanessa's hand and left.
"How dare you! I'll make you regret it," Charles had on a vicious expression while looking at their backs. Then, he walked toward the principal's office with his red and swollen arm.
"Are you alright? Do you want me to call Grandpa?" Vanessa said with concern while walking beside Zachary.

Zachary said lightly, "It's okay. I believe there must be a way to deal with the problem when it happens."
There was a sudden braking sound just as they were about to reach the library. A man got out of the car swiftly. He was Zachary's mentor, Jimmy Yan.
Jimmy quickly opened the door of the back seat and bowed. He smiled flatteringly, "Principal Wu, we're here!"
A middle-aged man who was wearing a leather suit got out of the car. He was Alan Wu, the principal of Ludington Medical College.
"Where is he?" Principal Wu asked with his hands behind his back, exuding an aura of authority.
"He's over there!" Jimmy pointed at Zachary. Then, he glared at Zachary and said hurriedly, "Zachary, come here to greet Principal Wu."
Watching Jimmy trying to get on Principal Wu's good side, Zachary felt disgusted. He said coldly, "Ask him to come over if he is looking for me." "You..." Jimmy was speechless.
Alan saw Zachary and walked towards him. "Mr. Ching, have you made up your mind about what Mr. Yan told you?"
Zachary waved his hand, "I don't have to think about it. I won't give you the formulation."
"Mr. Ching, feel free to tell us if you're not happy with the conditions. We will try our best to satisfy you."
Zachary held his stance firmly, "Principal Wu, you don't have to say anything more. I won't agree to it no matter what the conditions are."
Jimmy became anxious. He glared at Zachary and threatened in a low voice, "Zachary, you better think about it again. You won't be able to graduate if you fail your thesis."
"I won't want the graduation certificate if this is how you determine a doctor's medical ethics," Zachary bellowed angrily.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
"Young man, don't act on impulse," Alan's face darkened. He continued, "I know that your medicinal paste is made from our school's herbs and is formulated in our school's lab. So, it should be the school who owns the formulation according to the law."
Zachary sneered, "Isn't it ridiculous for you, the principal of the university, to say that? How can you say that it belongs to the school just because it is made in the school? Well, are we supposed to be the slaves of the school since we are studying here? I guess this is more of a concentration camp than a school."
"Mr. Ching, I'll give you one last chance. I'm going to pay you fifty thousand yuan to buy your formulation. Consider it carefully, or I have the right to kick unqualified students out of this school!" Alan threatened. "Kicking a student out of school just because you don't like the student? Wow, Principal Wu, you're really awesome!" Zachary sneered sarcastically.
Principal Wu gazed at Zachary and said, "Zachary, I think you still don't understand. You'll not only be expelled from school. Based on my social status, I can stop you from entering the medical industry in Ludington City." "Please go ahead and do it then. I won't give you the formulation no matter what," Zachary was not in the mood to talk anymore. He turned around and was about to leave.
Alan was pissed off. As a principal, he was humiliated by a student. He shouted immediately, "Stop right there! I, the principal of this school, announce that Zachary Ching has disorderly conduct and has been..."
"Shut up!"
A loud shout interrupted Alan. Maxwell Sue, who was furious, walked over quickly. It turned out that Vanessa had called her grandfather for help when Jimmy and Alan appeared.
"Master Sue, why are you here?" Alan greeted Maxwell respectful.
Maxwell was an influential person in the Chinese medicine industry of Ludington City and also the Chancellor of Ludington Medical College.
