To prevent such an accident from happening again, Ji Xingmi asked Xiao Ji to escort the two to the classroom. She and Moggu stayed behind and Ji Xingmi had Moggu tie everyone up. Moggu went to a nearby grove and pulled some vines, binding them all together. Wang Gang glared at Ji Xingmi the entire time, but Ji Xingmi paid him no mind and casually found a place to sit and wait for someone.
When Xiao Ji returned, he borrowed a phone nearby and contacted Uncle Gu, who was at the military district. Upon learning about the situation, Uncle Gu immediately arranged for people to set off. He himself went with a spirit of watching a good show, as he knew many interesting things would happen around Ji Xingmi. He just didn't know how this girl would handle the situation this time. He always felt that she would cause some significant commotion; when she usually held back, her actions would always lead to major events. He was getting used to it.
By the time Xiao Ji returned, the school had also received news. It was unclear who reported it, but a large crowd arrived, including some people in uniform.
Wang Gang, seeing the approaching people, became agitated. He wanted to shout for help but couldn't make a sound. Despite using all his strength, he only managed a slight struggle. Ji Xingmi certainly noticed the change in Wang Gang's eyes and tilted her head, watching the approaching individuals intently.
"Young student, you are not attending class now. What are you doing here? Why have you tied these people up?" one of the older individuals asked. Others attempted to help untie them, but without success. Before they could get close, Xiao Ji stopped them. The elder who spoke first frowned upon seeing this.
"I am not a student here. As for why I tied them up? There must be a reason."
"Since you are not a student here, why are you causing trouble and arbitrarily capturing people? And you are not letting your people release our students." one person stepped forward and sternly reprimanded her. Ji Xingmi glanced at this person, and it led her to discover something interesting.
"You say they are students? I thought they were bandits! Elder, I only came today to visit my elder brother, but I was stopped here. I am young, and my family feared I would be in trouble, so they arranged for two people to be with me. And look, these people were tied up like this!" Ji Xingmi first made a sarcastic remark, then explained to the elder in front of her why she had tied people up.
The elder's heart skipped a beat. This girl in front of him was only sixteen or seventeen years old. She was indeed accompanied by two soldiers skilled in combat. Moreover, she remained unfazed even when so many people arrived, indicating she was no ordinary person! While he was thinking this, the other person had already started to throw a tantrum, completely failing to grasp the situation.
The man, directly insulted by Ji Xingmi, shrieked, "How dare you! You are openly insulting us teachers and students! I will report you! Whose child are you? Speak truthfully!"
Seeing him act like this, the elder frowned, appearing very impatient. Ji Xingmi sat there, observing everyone's expressions, and found the situation quite amusing. It seemed that despite the school reopening, there were still plenty of issues.
The plump man, believing his words had intimidated Ji Xingmi and the others, quickly ordered the guards accompanying him, "Hurry, untie them! See who dares to stop you! And arrest them."
Seeing them preparing to act, Xiao Ji and Moggu stood together. They had already placed their hands on the holsters of their firearms, ready to draw them at any moment. The others hadn't noticed their movement yet, but the elder saw it clearly. He glanced again at Ji Xingmi, who was still calmly smiling where she sat, and then sharply commanded, "Everyone, stop! What are you doing? We are here to solve problems, not create them! Everyone, go back!" Hearing this, the guards retreated. The fat man glared fiercely at Ji Xingmi.
Ji Xingmi chuckled upon hearing the elder speak like this, and all eyes turned to her.
The fat man, unable to bear the situation, impatiently asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Ji Xingmi waved her hand and said, "No, no, sorry, I couldn't help myself!" She continued to smile.
"Young friend, may I ask how you can let these students go?"
"Elder, there's no need to rush. This matter will take some time to resolve today. You should find a place to sit as well. It's not something that can be explained in a moment."
When the fat man tried to say something else, he was immediately silenced by a glare from the elder. Although he no longer spoke, his eyes were filled with malice and displeasure.
"Young friend, who are we waiting for?" This elder was actually Lou Zhiyuan, the president of Kyoto University, who had just returned from the countryside. He had a connection with Ji Xingmi, though neither of them knew it. Seeing Ji Xingmi sitting there without saying anything, he assumed she was waiting for someone. So, he sat down beside her.
Ji Xingmi glanced at the elder sitting next to her, surprised that the old gentleman had such sharp eyes to discern that she was waiting for someone.
