Chapter 23
The sudden appearance of the Chinese language teacher instantly boosted the morale of the students.
“Teacher Chen, Student An Nanyan hit someone!”
“She’s responsible for all of this!”
“Tian Tao hasn’t been able to stand up after being kicked. He must be injured!”
Teacher Chen entered from outside and saw Tian Tao sitting on the ground, his face pale and discolored, looking weak. She became furious.
“An Nanyan, how dare you lay your hands on someone! Go to the office immediately and have your parents come here!”
“A few students, help take Tian Tao to the infirmary.”
Nan Yan put down her rolled-up sleeves, picked up her backpack, and went to the office.
Inside the office, the head teacher was sitting in front of the computer, browsing a webpage. When he heard the word “report,” he trembled and quickly closed the webpage.
After sitting up straight, he said, “Come in.”
“Student An, it’s you again?”
“Yes, it’s me.”
Nan Yan calmly entered the office and closed the door behind her.
The head teacher took off his glasses, wiped the lenses, and put them back on. “What happened?”
“A fight.”
“Another fight?”
“…”
The head teacher looked at Nan Yan seriously. “You appear to be gentle and cultured, why do you enjoy fighting so much?”
Just yesterday, she was called into the office for the same reason, and now she was back again early in the morning.
“I really don’t like fighting,” Nan Yan paused and continued, “but I can’t avoid it when they pick on me.”
The head teacher was speechless.
“You didn’t provoke them, did you?”
“Of course not.”
“I see.” The headmaster let out a sigh of relief, then asked with a hint of expectation and curiosity, “Is student An knowledgeable about computer technology?”
“Head teacher, can I apply to change the name on my school records?”
“Are you joking?”
How could names be changed so casually!
“I’m not joking. I want to change my name back to my original name.”
After speaking, Nan Yan added indifferently, “The surname ‘An’ is not worthy of me.”
The head teacher was speechless.
For the first time, he heard a student wanting to change their name for such a reason.
The head teacher was naturally aware of Nan Yan’s situation.
All he could say was that this child had a really tough life.
However, compared to staying in the countryside, it was still better to be in the An family. Did she not intend to stay in the An family anymore if she wanted to change her name back?
“Think it over again. Changing your name on your school records is a big deal. Don’t act impulsively and regret it later.”
“I won’t regret it.” Nan Yan said, “Head teacher, can you please help me? This way, I can also help you.”
The head teacher chuckled, “What can I ask for your help with?”
“For example, the computer matter you mentioned earlier.”
“I need someone who is proficient in computer skills and possesses high-level technical expertise.”
“Coincidentally, that’s me.” Nan Yan smiled, “Head teacher, are you interested?”
“Alright, but I’ll need to test you first. If you pass, I’ll acknowledge your abilities.”
Nan Yan made a gesture to him, indicating to proceed with the test.
The head teacher thought for a moment and said, “The school’s firewall level is a bit low. Could you help upgrade it?”
“Sure.”
The head teacher happily gave up his seat to Nan Yan. He stood by, wanting to witness firsthand how she would handle it.
Nan Yan placed her backpack on the office desk, sat down without any pressure in the seat previously occupied by the head teacher.
As soon as she picked up the mouse, she accidentally reopened the webpage that the head teacher had closed.
The head teacher was speechless.
What kind of social death scene was this!
“I didn’t expect you to like this type~”
The head teacher’s face turned red. “Ahem… I was just casually looking, just casually looking!”
He was just chasing after a celebrity; he hadn’t done anything illegal!
However, he still couldn’t help feeling guilty.
Nan Yan had no intention of prying into other people’s privacy. She didn’t tease the head teacher further and closed the webpage once again.
She didn’t need the head teacher to provide her with account passwords; she directly hacked into the school’s firewall.
After breaking through, she edited a completely new firewall, significantly strengthening its defense compared to the previous one.
The head teacher watched with envy from the side.
He had some basic computer knowledge, and he could naturally see that Nan Yan’s computer skills were indeed exceptional.
“Nan Yan, I will apply to the Education Bureau for your name change, but in return, you need to represent the school in the International Youth Computer Science Competition. How about that?”
When the head teacher saw how effortlessly she infiltrated the school network and accessed the surveillance footage, he had already considered inviting her to participate.
Today’s events further reinforced his decision.
Nan Yan nodded, “Deal.”
With her school records changed, she would later go and update her name on her ID and household registration when she had the chance.
“Head teacher, they must be severely punished this time!”
Teacher Chen entered the office, her voice filled with anger.
Just as she was about to speak, she froze upon seeing the scene in the office. Nan Yan was sitting in the head teacher’s seat, while the head teacher stood beside her.
What was going on?
“You guys…”
Nan Yan calmly stood up from her seat and gestured for the head teacher to take his place.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across the head teacher’s face, but he quickly cleared his throat, regaining his authoritative demeanor. He asked sternly, “Punished for what? Teacher Chen, have you thoroughly investigated the matter?”
“Do we still need an investigation? I personally witnessed NanYan hitting a classmate and injuring him. Is the head teacher trying to protect her?”
“Nan Yan, please explain the situation to Teacher Chen.”
Nan Yan leisurely took the keyboard from the head teacher’s hands and pulled up the surveillance footage from earlier in the morning.
As the head teacher and Teacher Chen watched it together, their expressions became somewhat conflicted.
While it was true that the main fault lay with the other students, Nan Yan’s ruthlessness made them worry if she had a tendency for violence.
“Do you still need me to call my parents?”
“Cough… There’s no need,” Teacher Chen’s attitude softened. “Student An, next time, be more restrained and mindful of your actions.”
The head teacher also offered some advice, “While self-defense is justified, you still need to exercise restraint in school. Otherwise, it can lead to trouble.”
“I understand,” Nan Yan nodded.

An Muyao was still waiting, expecting to hear news of Nan Yan being reprimanded and embarrassed by her classmates.
But instead, what she received was news that Nan Yan had beaten up those troublemakers, with Tian Tao ending up in the infirmary, and Nan Yan facing no punishment.
An Muyao’s face darkened, a glimmer of coldness flickering in her eyes.
Since the students in the school couldn’t deal with her, she would find some thugs from outside.
If the well-prepared path they arranged for her wasn’t appreciated, then she shouldn’t blame them for ruthlessly ruining her reputation!
An Muyao took out her phone and went outside. Leaning against the railing, she made a call when she saw that there was no one around…
