Liu Shi and his men left, and Captain Gao immediately put on a different expression, smiling as he looked at Lin Shiqi. "Shiqi, why did you provoke Liu Shi? If President Li finds out about today's incident, she will worry about you."

"I didn't provoke him!" Lin Shiqi said unhappily. "And stop using Ice Sister to pressure me. I haven't done anything wrong. It's your own fault for not doing anything. You knew Liu Shi was up to no good and still let him go."

Captain Gao was caught off guard by Lin Shiqi's words. To conceal his embarrassment, he chuckled and turned his gaze to Qin Yan. "Wow, is this handsome young man your boyfriend, Shiqi? Truly handsome and talented!"

"You're talking nonsense. I've only known him for a few days!" Lin Shiqi blushed and quickly refuted.

"Hello, thank you just now!" Qin Yan greeted Captain Gao warmly as he noticed the shift in attention.

"Nice to meet you. You've done nothing wrong. Just don't make fun of me," Captain Gao said appreciatively, feeling a sense of goodwill towards Qin Yan for standing up for Miss Shiqi. "Your clothes are torn. Are you injured?"

"It's just superficial wounds."

"Good." Captain Gao nodded. Remembering he hadn't introduced himself, he said, "I'm Gao Zhanxiang, the captain of the special task force at the academy. I mainly handle external matters for the academy."

He pointed to the taciturn, slender man behind him. "He's Zhao Liang, and the beautiful woman next to him is Zhou Xiaohui. They are my team members."

Qin Yan greeted the two of them, and they responded in kind.

"Let's not talk about this here. We'll discuss it when we get back," Lin Shiqi shouted, heading towards her red car. Qin Yan bid his farewell and joined Lin Shiqi in the passenger seat. Suddenly, the back door of the car opened, and Gao Zhanxiang got in.

"Why did you climb into my car, Captain Gao? Aren't you going to look after your team?" Lin Shiqi glanced at Gao Zhanxiang in the back seat, then at Zhao Liang and Zhou Xiaohui standing outside.

"It's fine. The matter is settled. Let's go. They will catch up," Captain Gao replied.

"Alright."

The car started, heading towards the academy along the main road. Gao Zhanxiang seemed interested in Qin Yan's background and chatted with him along the way.

"Ah, how did you enter the Academy for Ability Users, Qin Yan? Can you share?"

"Well, Shiqi happened to encounter me outside and brought me in."

"Encountered you by chance?" Gao Zhanxiang seemed skeptical. "I heard you were the young lady's boyfriend. Isn't that true?"

You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.

"No, that's not true," Qin Yan denied.

"Alright," Gao Zhanxiang said half-believingly. "But if that's the case, how did you pass President Li's scrutiny? She's not easy to please. Why would she let you stay at the academy?"

"I'm not sure about that. That woman is a bit crazy. Who knows what she's thinking."

"A bit crazy?" Gao Zhanxiang broke into a sweat, thinking this guy was bold to speak ill of President Li behind her back. To prevent misunderstanding, Lin Shiqi quickly explained, "Well, after he had a fight with Liu Shi yesterday, he went to sneak a peek at Ice Sister practicing below the waterfall and got a good scolding from her. He still remembers it."

"Oh my, Qin buddy, not only did you provoke Liu Shi, but you even dared to provoke President Li." Gao Zhanxiang couldn't help but look at Qin Yan with admiration, thinking that this guy had managed to stir up trouble with both Liu Shi and Li Ruobing, two major troublemakers, within a day, and now acted as if nothing had happened. With this ability alone, he was quite remarkable.

"I didn't mean to. Who can sit still under a waterfall? I couldn't help but take a few more glances..." Qin Yan recalled the scene of Li Ruobing drenched under the waterfall yesterday, and his heart couldn't help but flutter, trailing off.

Seeing Qin Yan's distracted expression, Gao Zhanxiang suddenly smirked mischievously and said in a mysterious tone, "Speaking of which, President Li must have a great figure, right? She's about 1.7 meters tall, and her figure is outstanding. Qin buddy, although you were scolded by President Li, you got a good feast for your eyes. That's a win!"

Qin Yan was taken aback and didn't know how to respond to Gao Zhanxiang's words. Meanwhile, Lin Shiqi, in front, said impatiently, "Qin Yan, don't mind him. Despite his good looks, he's actually a big pervert. He's always been scolded by Ice Sister and never changes his ways."

Scratching his head, Gao Zhanxiang chuckled, "Shiqi, why do you speak of your big brother like that? You know my usual character. I'm just joking to lighten the mood. What's wrong with that? Right, Qin buddy?"

Qin Yan mumbled in agreement. He felt that despite Gao Zhanxiang being about ten years older than him, he was approachable and down-to-earth.

"Hey, I think you and I get along well, Qin buddy. Have you found a place to stay at the academy? Why not come to our dorm?" Gao Zhanxiang seemed to appreciate Qin Yan and extended an invitation. Afraid Qin Yan might refuse, he added slyly, "Our dorm is next to the women's dormitory, where there are many beautiful women with great figures. Hehehe..."

"No, I already have a place to stay."

"Where are you staying? It's better in our dorm. The place I live in is a treasure trove. You'll regret it if you don't come, Qin buddy!"

"I'm not sure exactly, but Shiqi and Li Ruobing both live there."

"What? You live there?" Gao Zhanxiang was stunned, his expression serious. Exaggeratingly, he exclaimed, "Oh my! You actually live there. That place is known as the headquarters of beautiful women. The three super beauties of our academy all live there. How did you manage to get in there? You'll definitely face retribution."

"Enough, what are you shouting about?" Lin Shiqi turned around, glaring fiercely at Gao Zhanxiang. "Say another word, and I'll kick you out of the car to let you talk to yourself."

Seemingly afraid of Lin Shiqi, Gao Zhanxiang wisely kept quiet when she got angry, and there was a brief silence in the car.

"What three beauties? Is it that exaggerated?" Out of the blue, Qin Yan spoke up, clearly interested in Gao Zhanxiang's earlier words.

Gao Zhanxiang smirked mischievously, saying meaningfully, "Shiqi, it's not me who wants to talk about this, it's him who wants to know. If you want to blame someone, blame him."

Lin Shiqi was so annoyed she could scratch someone. She had ways to deal with Gao Zhanxiang, but when it came to Qin Yan, she felt it was difficult to handle. She said, "It's none of my business. Your mouth is on your own face. Say whatever you want."
