School Disciplinary List Exposed, Note Says Arms Smuggling

A private vocational school is on the verge of bankruptcy. To keep it running,

Jiang Chuan leads the few teachers and students who remain in manufacturing gas cylinders, steel pipes, and carbon-fiber fishing rods for sale in the Middle East, setting out on a mission to save the school through industry.

Later, a client asks for equipment to evade roadside surveillance cameras, and Jiang Chuan delivers.

Another client needs drones to transport supplies, and Jiang Chuan readily agrees for the sake of the money.

But when Jiang Chuan develops steel cables capable of stopping a stampede of wild animals at a client's request, an official disciplinary notice arrives at the school.

"Your school is suspected of selling arms to smugglers. It is hereby ordered closed pending an investigation!"

As soon as the Education Bureau publishes the disciplinary notice, it goes viral and hits the trending lists.

Jiang Chuan is utterly baffled. "But everything I make is for civilian use!"

Then investigators bring out the Twin-Tailed Scorpion D unmanned bomber, 12K carbon-fiber materials... "And you still claim you weren't making weapons!"

Netizens erupt: "What vocational school? This is the eighth son of our national defense industry!"
