Chapter 8: This time, let's stand together!

  The atmosphere in the office was solemn, with the cat's head hung low and its mouth tightly closed. She could hear the sharp comments from outside and feel the cold gaze of the teachers.

  The principal coughed a few times and made eye contact with the teacher standing at the door, signaling him to take those students back to class. Do what you need to do and don't cause any more trouble here.

  The teacher immediately understood the principal's meaning, nodded apologetically and led them back to the classroom. Soon, the corridor became quiet again, as if nothing had happened.

  "Principal, I hope you'll grant my request." Miao Ni was never one to beat around the bush; she couldn't wait any longer, not even for a moment.

  "Listen, classmate," the principal sighed. "Things aren't as simple as you think, and they can't be solved with just one sentence from me." This time he really felt sorry, Liang Chen was an excellent student who couldn't be replaced, and he didn't want to lose him either.

  "The matter has not been thoroughly investigated, we really shouldn't be jumping to conclusions so early, but..." Just then, a teacher next to him couldn't help but interject, who was his own head teacher.

  "What's going on?" The cat also sensed the principal's helplessness and couldn't help but ask the teachers. "As long as it can prevent Liang Chen from being expelled, I'll do anything."

  The teachers looked at each other, and finally the principal nodded and walked to the front of the cat: "Comrade, I'll tell you this way. This time expelling Liang Chen was actually a helpless move. You also saw that now all over the internet forums, including within the school, it's being spread everywhere. They're all saying that Liang Chen is a murderer. A school like this can't be stayed in. The parents have already made many phone calls, asking how our school could cultivate such a person, and they're all wanting to transfer their children."

  "But this matter was not made public, it was spread by some people. Those posts are obviously intentional, I don't know who Liang Chen offended, but I believe he wouldn't do such a thing." Miao Rou looked at the principal with determination, her serious face seemed to radiate light, leaving the principal speechless for a long time.

  The cat knew that the principal still had reservations in his heart, so he took a deep breath and spoke resolutely: "Principal, as long as you give me one week, I guarantee that I will find out who is responsible, change the opinions of our classmates, and prove to you that Liang Chen would never do such a thing!"

  The principal also looked at her seriously, and the teachers all secretly wiped their sweat, hoping that the principal would agree to her. Liang Chen's excellence was something everyone could see, and they also hoped to wait until the truth came out before making a judgment, rather than being irresponsible to the students like this, which was also a trampling of Liang Chen's self-esteem.

  "Alright. I'll give you a week." The principal seemed to be betting on himself as well. "I'll buy you another week of time, to calm down the parents of those students."

  The cat heard this and suddenly showed a smile.

  "But if the time comes and things are still not resolved, I hope... you will also understand my difficulties." The principal couldn't bear to look at her smile, turned his body around, and gazed out of the window.

  "I know. Thank you." Mei said thank you and walked out of the office firmly, now the first thing to do is to change the students' views and catch that person who posted it.

  But she had not yet put her plan into action when she encountered an obstacle; she had underestimated the power of the masses.

  As soon as the cat entered the classroom, Lina, the most mischievous girl in school, slapped her hand on the desk and walked up to her with a few people, directly grabbing her arm and dragging her outside.

  The cat suddenly flung open her hand, staring into her eyes, Lena's eyes were filled with anger and contempt. Looking at other classmates in the class, although they seemed to be unrelated, but the anger in their eyes was evident.

  "She's actually speaking up for a murderer! She's disgracing our whole class!"

  "Thinking you're someone, yet having no morals and conscience!"

  "It's best to let Lena give her a good scolding."

  The cat wrinkled its brow, clenched its fists, and suppressed the emotions that were about to erupt. She knew that if she resisted now, her classmates would become even angrier, which was not what she wanted.

  She stared coldly at Lena and followed her outside voluntarily.

  "Catkin......" Jing sat in her seat, her ten fingers tightly clasped together, she knew that Catkin had deliberately avoided looking at her just now.

  She's afraid of getting into unnecessary trouble, but it's a cat's meow... I can't run away alone again, can't let you face those dangers by yourself!

  This time, let me stand with you!
