Very quickly, the higher-ups of Sun Moon City, and even the city governor, Hou Hanyang, called to question what exactly Huo Gang and the rest had done, and why there was such a huge commotion on the internet that even Sun Moon City was affected.
Huo Gang and the others, of course, could not admit to this matter. They firmly denied it, saying that this matter was purely caused by Xia Ping, and that the so-called evidence was all forged.
They were all innocent, and had done nothing wrong.
But the higher-ups of Sun Moon City, of course, would not believe such an excuse. They were very strict, and said that this matter had to be completely settled. Otherwise, if it affected the genius tournament, they would definitely punish Huo Gang and the others.
They might even sue them in court, and the federal police would be sent to investigate.
Hearing this, Huo Gang and the others' faces turned green.
If the Federal Police really came over and thoroughly investigated everything, it would be a huge matter.
Of course, they were not afraid of any trouble arising from Xia Ping's matter. Even if the evidence was conclusive, it was not a big deal. At most, it was just a threat.
They could use a little of their family's influence to completely resolve this matter. At worst, they would only have to pay a small compensation. After all, with their status as core students, they would not be taken down over such a small matter.
The problem was, if the federal police listed them as targets of investigation, then some of the things they had done before might be exposed. After all, to become core students, they had also used many dishonorable methods.
These methods could not be exposed. Once they were exposed, it would cause great trouble, and even their reputation might be ruined.
Even if they were very confident that they had done everything cleanly, it was better to be safe than sorry. If the police found out something, then it would be very troublesome.
It was just like officials. Usually, they looked clean and honest, but once they were investigated, all kinds of corruption and bribery would be exposed. It was impossible to hide it.
"No, we definitely can't let the federal police come to investigate. This matter cannot be allowed." A core student's face was very ugly. He had done many dirty things behind the scenes, and these things were all against the federal law.
Usually, with his status as a core student and the power of his family, others would turn a blind eye to what he had done. But if the police really came, it would definitely be exposed, and there was no way to hide it.
At that time, even his family would not be able to protect him, and it would not be wrong for him to be shot dozens of times for his crimes.
"What's there to be afraid of? An upright person is not afraid of a crooked shadow. If they want to investigate, then let them. I don't believe that brat has three heads and six arms and can do anything to us core students."
Some people were not afraid of the shadow because they were clean and did not do anything illegal. Naturally, they were not afraid of the police investigating them.
"That's right, let's fight it out with him. That bastard wants to frame us? Does he have the ability to do so? There's nothing about us that we're afraid of others knowing, "a core student shouted, looking like a hothead.
Fight your sister!
The faces of the group of core students were as black as charcoal. They wanted nothing more than to sew up that brat's mouth and beat him to death. You brat, aren't you afraid that your dirty deeds will be exposed?
But they were different.
"I think we should talk to that kid and not make a big deal out of this."
"Indeed, there's no benefit to any of us if this matter blows up. Don't tell me that both sides are going to suffer?"
"We are indeed in the wrong in this matter. Core students bullying elite students is a little like the strong bullying the weak. If this spreads out, our reputation won't be good."
Some of the core students softened their tone, feeling that it wasn't a problem to talk to Xia Ping. In any case, if the matter blew up, they wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.
"Wait, what do you mean by that?"
A core student with a crew cut was instantly dissatisfied. "According to you guys, it seems like you want to give in to that brat. A dignified core student lowering his head to an elite student. Can this kind of thing be done? If we do it, do we still want our faces?! "
"You're still talking about bullying the weak? If this spreads out, your reputation won't be good. Why didn't you f * cking say this before? Now that the matter has blown up, all of you are scared like quails."
A group of core students gritted their teeth, wanting nothing more than to beat that crew cut bald. They were extremely angry. Previously, they thought that this matter could be easily resolved. Naturally, they wouldn't care about Xia Ping's reaction or things like reputation.
But now, who would have thought that this Xia Ping was simply a hedgehog, so fierce that it was a complete mess. What he was best at was making small things bigger and big things out of control.
"This isn't giving in. It's just a strategic retreat."
"That's right. We're retracting our fists so that we can punch out with more power."
"If the matter blows up, what benefits will it bring to us?"
"Everyone is an adult. Don't let your emotions affect your decisions. If things really get out of control, it won't benefit anyone."
A few core students shouted.
"Retreat your sister. Is this a strategic retreat? He's clearly running away. Moreover, he's being beaten to the point of running away like a rat. "A core student immediately pointed out the absurdity of this matter.
"That's right. I don't agree with this."
"A core student lowering his head to an elite student. This is simply a miraculous story."
"If we dare to do such a thing, we will leave our names in history. It's clearly a bad name!"
Some core students firmly opposed the reconciliation. They wanted to fight to the end.
Instantly, they were divided into two groups. One was the pro-peace group, and the other was the pro-war group. Immediately, the atmosphere of the battle turned foul.
In reality, these people weren't good friends. They had only temporarily joined forces because of the bet with Qiuxu. Therefore, it was very easy for them to have internal strife.
"Enough!"
Cao Zhengbin stood out. He glanced around and said in a deep voice, "This matter can't continue to blow up. Even king tiers are paying attention to this. However, it's also very embarrassing to lower your head to an elite student."
"How about this. Let's vote by raising our hands. Do we fight or make peace? Everyone can decide. The minority follows the majority."
Hearing this, the core students present all nodded. If they couldn't hold on, they could only raise their hands to vote.
Very soon, they voted. In the end, 70% of them wanted to make peace, and only 30% wanted to fight to the end with Xia Ping and not give up until the very last moment.
"Alright, the result is already very obvious."
A cold light flashed in Cao Zhengbin's eyes. "Since the majority of people agree to make peace, then we will make peace. This is the result of everyone's discussion. We must collectively obey it. The result is unquestionable."
"I hope those who want to fight won't drag us down. Otherwise, they will all become our enemies and we will kill them together."
His words were filled with killing intent.
Some core students who wanted to fight fell silent. Although they were unwilling, 70% of them had agreed. Even if they objected, it wouldn't have any effect.
"Alright, go and contact that brat." Cao Zhengbin gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. Obviously, he was unwilling.
