Chapter 536 It's Not Easy Being a Teacher

On this dusty battlefield, only the tense and fierce atmosphere continued to spread, as if it was about to draw the whole world into it...

At this tense moment, Gao Yuliang rushed to the scene. He looked over and saw Hou Liangping and Qi Tongwei fighting in the dust, and a complex emotion suddenly surged in his heart. These two were students he had high hopes for, but now they were like two wild beasts fighting with bloodshot eyes, completely disregarding their past friendship and status, and fighting so fiercely and almost out of control in front of everyone.

Gao Yuliang's face became extremely gloomy. He walked quickly into the battle circle and shouted loudly: "Stop it!" The voice was full of unquestionable majesty, resounding like a bell. Hou Liangping and Qi Tongwei involuntarily slowed down their movements after hearing this shout, but they still stared at each other vigilantly and did not completely relax their guard.

Gao Yuliang walked between the two, his eyes full of disappointment and heartache. He first looked at Hou Liangping and said slowly: "Liangping, you were one of my most proud students. I taught you knowledge, hoping that you could uphold justice and use wisdom and law to maintain fairness and order in the world. But look at yourself now, what do you look like? Using force to solve problems, is this what a qualified law enforcer does? Since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, etiquette and morality have been the norms that constrain people's behavior. In today's rule of law society, we should act in accordance with the law instead of fighting like street bullies. Did your experience of studying abroad only teach you to use force to show off your strength?"

Hou Liangping lowered his head slightly, a trace of shame on his face, but he still stubbornly defended himself: "Teacher, Qi Tongwei has committed too many crimes, and he has been evading the punishment of the law. I just want him to be brought to justice."

Gao Yuliang snorted coldly, turned around and said to Qi Tongwei: "Tongwei, you disappoint me too much. You had a bright future, but you fell into the abyss of power and desire step by step. Do you still remember your ideals and ambitions in college? At that time, you were full of vigor and determined to seek welfare for the people. But now, for your own selfish interests, you break the law and discipline, and even try to resist to the end. What you did not only violated the law, but also trampled on morality and conscience."

Qi Tongwei's eyes flashed with a trace of struggle, but it was quickly replaced by a kind of determination. "Teacher, I have come to this point today, and I have no choice. This world is unfair to me, I just want to fight for what belongs to me."

Gao Yuliang was so angry that he trembled after hearing his words. "Unfair? Whose life is completely fair? As a public official, you should set an example and serve the people instead of using your power to benefit yourself. Look at you now, what is the difference between you and an ordinary criminal?"

He looked at Hou Liangping again, "Liangping, although you are doing this for justice, your method is wrong. The law is a fair scale, and we should rely on it to judge crimes, not on personal force. If you do this, you may not only put yourself in danger, but also give those who want to undermine the rule of law a handle."

Hou Liangping raised his head and said firmly, "Teacher, I understand the importance of the law, but Qi Tongwei is too cunning. He has been manipulating me all the time, and I really can't stand it anymore."

Gao Yuliang sighed, "You can't be intolerable, but you can't lose your mind. How many people will be disappointed by your behavior? How much negative impact will it have on society? You have all received higher education on university campuses, learned legal knowledge, and learned the principles of dealing with people. Have you forgotten all that?"

Qi Tongwei remained silent. He knew that every word Gao Yuliang said made sense, but he had gone too far down the wrong path. He wanted to turn back, but was afraid to face severe punishment from the law.

Gao Yuliang continued, "Now, I order you all to stop this absurd behavior. Liangping, you must trust the legal process, collect evidence through legal channels, and let Qi Tongwei receive a fair trial. Tongwei, you should also stop resisting in vain, actively cooperate with the investigation, and strive for a lighter sentence."

Hou Liangping looked at Gao Yuliang and nodded slowly. "Teacher, I will listen to you. I will review the evidence and handle Qi Tongwei's case according to legal procedures."

Qi Tongwei suddenly raised his head, with a hint of madness in his eyes, "Teacher, I can't be arrested like this, I still have a lot of things to do."

After that, he ignored Gao Yuliang's obstruction, pushed Gao Yuliang away, and rushed towards Hou Liangping. Hou Liangping didn't expect Qi Tongwei to suddenly attack, and was caught off guard for a while. But he quickly reacted, dodged Qi Tongwei's attack, and then grabbed Qi Tongwei's arm with a backhand grab. Qi Tongwei struggled hard, but Hou Liangping held on tightly.

Gao Yuliang shouted anxiously, "Tongwei, don't be stubborn anymore!"

However, Qi Tongwei had lost his mind at this time, and he desperately wanted to break free from Hou Liangping's control. During the struggle, he suddenly took out a dagger he carried with him and stabbed Hou Liangping. Hou Liangping was shocked and quickly let go of Qi Tongwei's arm and stepped back a few steps.

Qi Tongwei held the dagger and stared at Hou Liangping and Gao Yuliang fiercely, "Don't even think about stopping me!"

At this time, the situation became more tense. The onlookers around exclaimed, they did not expect things to develop to this point. Gao Yuliang looked at the dagger in Qi Tongwei's hand, his heart filled with helplessness and sadness. He knew that his student had fallen into a desperate situation, and he was powerless to save it.

Hou Liangping stared at Qi Tongwei calmly. He knew that he had to find a way to subdue Qi Tongwei, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. He slowly moved around Qi Tongwei, looking for his flaws. Qi Tongwei also followed Hou Liangping's lead and turned his body, with the dagger in his hand always pointing at Hou Liangping.

The dagger in Qi Tongwei's hand flashed coldly in the sunlight, and the cold tip of the knife pointed directly at Hou Liangping, as if it was going to deliver a fatal blow in the next second. Gao Yuliang's face flushed red, and veins popped on his forehead. He shouted at Qi Tongwei angrily: "Qi Tongwei, stop it! You are destroying your future. Put down the knife. We still have room for recovery. Don't act impulsively. You must win in a steady manner. Don't make things worse and more chaotic!"

Qi Tongwei's eyes revealed a hint of madness and despair. His hand holding the dagger trembled slightly, but he still had no intention of letting it go. "Teacher, don't worry about it. Today, either he dies or I die. I have no way out. Hou Liangping forced me to do all this!"
