Reincarnation: From Opressed Missy to Campus Belle

Lawyer Lu Zhaolin had a meeting with his client who couldn’t make time for him and so he decided to have a quick word with his client in the mall where the latter was with another client. Currently, he was returning to his place with his assistant and subordinates and he saw two teenagers beating a poor man and everyone else was just looking at the scene unfolding before them, not bothering to help the man.

“Go help the man!” Lu Zhaolin said to his assistants who ran to help the man being beaten.

“How could you beat him?” Lu Zhaolin asked the teenage boy who didn’t bother paying attention to him and just buttoned up his shirt and went to stand beside the little girl whose face was covered with a ridiculous kitty facemask. Behind her, three bodyguards were standing as if there to protect her if someone dared to hurt her. Who would even want to touch a gangster girl?

“How could my comrade not beat the thief up?” An Xiulan asked as she looked at the middle-aged man who appeared out of nowhere. “Do you know what he did?”

“What?” Lawyer Zhaolin’s assistant asked.

“A crime,” An Xiulan said with wide eyes as she took a step ahead and stared at his square face.

The assistant broke into a fit of cough._.

“Even if he committed a crime, you have no right to beat him up, “Lawyer Lu Zhaolin said as his gaze swept across two teenagers.

“Oh right,” Han Zixin snickered, looking at no one at all. “We should have just let him commit the crime like the law-abiding citizen that we are.”

“You …” Lu Zhaolin didn’t bother wasting time on brats. “If someone commits a crime, you should call the police. Not committing the crime, by beating a criminal. Well, it’s not proven yet that he is a criminal, you are taking the law into your hands and this is unacceptable.”

“This awful man stole her purse and you are still saying he is not a criminal?” Han Zixin said, looking at the middle-aged men. “Did you go to school or behind the school?”

“He went to the best law school in the country,” said the assistant, earning a glare from his boss.

“You are committing a crime by beating up the accused,” Lu Zhaolin declared. “You are a criminal yourself!”

Both Han Zixin and An Xiulan looked at the man with broken hearts in their eyes.

“You are saying we are criminals?” An Xiulan asked as she couldn’t believe it for a moment. She continuously blinked her eyes, still not able to understand it. Look at her innocent face, where did she look like a criminal? She could agree for a moment that Han Zixin was a criminal who beat up the thief? But her? How could this man call her a criminal!!

“Of course, you are, “Lu Zhaolin scoffed. “You should have called the police instead of beating up the accused.”

“Wow, “Han Zixin was amazed by man’s logic. “We are criminals but the thief is accused.”

“Cheat Prince!!” An Xiulan suddenly called out his name.

“Yes?” He looked at her as if he could smell madness far from her.

“Call the police and pizza house at the same time and see who comes first,” An Xiulan announced and all of them present there looked at her with questions reflecting in their eyes. “If the police come first, we will file a complaint against the thief and apologise for beating him. But if Pizza delivery comes first, we will file the complaint against the thief, this nosy gentleman will apologise to us for this behaviour and pay for our pizzas.”

Without waiting for any moment, Han Zixin did what he was supposed to do without any questions asked.

“What kind of logic is this?” Lu Zhaolin boomed.

“Mr Nosy Gentleman, we live in an era where food delivery comes faster than the police, “said An Xiulan with a flicker of anger present in her eyes. “Don’t you think you are overstepping your boundaries here? It was our business but you appeared out of nowhere.”

“As a lawyer, it’s my duty to protect the human rights of everyone. Even the accused, “Lu Zhaolin replied. “You have no right to hurt a person physically for just stealing. The punishment for stealing and beating up a man is defined by the law. And the law is always benevolent and lenient!’

“Now I know what your problem is, “An Xiulan said to herself. “Do you know lenient agents of law like you are the reason why the crime rate of our country is still high? You are the reason why people can’t sleep inside their house peacefully. Had you not sided with criminals this wouldn’t have happened!”

An Xiulan pointed her finger at the man and said, “If I was a lawyer I would plead with the judge to give this thief the amputation of limbs as a punishment for stealing! If the law adopts such a strict system of punishment the crime rate will be zero!”

Lu Zhaolin looked at the girl in horror as his subordinates began clapping for the girl who was speaking nonsense with utter confidence.

“Support capital punishment for offences greater than stealing!” An Xiulan gave the slogan.

“Support! Support! Support!”

Everyone began chanting her mantra.

Lu Zhaolin clutched his chest in utter pain as he looked at the girl and everyone supporting her.

“Your Pizza, sir!”

A man’s voice rang out and Lu Zhaolin experienced the same thing that his son usually gave him– a stroke!

“Mr Nosy Lawyer, don’t forget to pay for the pizzas,”An Xiulan reminded him.

Before his eyes could close he saw the men carrying around fifty pizzas and his assistant paying for every single of them.

No one was allowed to call his deskmate wrong instead of him. Even if she still gave rise to a coup in the mall, no one was still allowed to call her wrong.

Before Lu Zhaolin could give a formal apology, he passed out there as a certain blood relative of his increased his blood pressure to this bloody extent.
