Chapter 5 An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth (40)

  The principal looked at the crowd's excitement, had to hold back a belly full of fire, and said kindly to Xia Ye: "Believe me, the injured is the Dean of Studies, I will definitely handle it impartially!"

  "I believe." Xia Ye turned around and said to her classmates who were watching from behind: "We all believe in the principal, right?"

  No one answered him. Instead, everyone looked at him in confusion, and it was hard for the school to regain trust during this time. Xia Ye wasn't unaware of this, so why did he say that?

  The principal saw no one responding, and his heart also sank. This shows that the school's approach has caused public outrage, and the school's credibility among students has plummeted sharply, which is not a good phenomenon.

  But now he can't take care of these, just want to solve the urgent problem, see Xia Ye's attitude suddenly came a big turn, heart a joy, indeed clever, know how to identify the opportune moment!

  The principal smiled and said: "Alright, classmates, make way for me to take him away."

  "Take it away, no problem. Wait until he says who instructed him, everyone is curious about this question?" Xia Ye turned his head back and asked: "Is that so?"

  On a summer night, the popularity of the students was high. Now, with a wave of his arm and a shout, many people responded, and for a moment, the deafening "Yes!" almost pierced the principal's eardrum, leaving him somewhat flustered.

  "I'm telling you, since you trust me, shouldn't you give me full authority? Why are there still additional conditions?" The principal hoped to intimidate the students with his stern tone.

  "But we all have the right to know!" Xia Ye refuted strongly: "This is completely different from whether or not I trust you!"

  "It's because he has a guilty conscience and doesn't dare let him speak!" Many classmates discussed it in an uproar.

  "If you continue to be so unruly, I'll expel all of you!" The principal was forced into a corner and had no choice but to use his trump card.

  "Go ahead, it's better to expel all of us, don't leave a single one, and then we'll collectively go on TV to explain why we were expelled. Principal, what do you think?" Xia Ye said with a smile, but each sentence was very hurtful, the principal immediately became flustered: "What exactly do you want?"

  "Seek truth! Seek fairness!" Xia Ye shouted at the head. The crowd of onlookers followed suit and shouted along.

  The stalemate was suddenly broken when someone from the Education Bureau arrived.

  The principal felt it was too abnormal, even if the Education Bureau inspected the school's work, they had to wait until tomorrow morning. Who comes during class hours?

  "What's going on here?" The newcomer asked, pointing at the students who were watching.

  The principal did not rush to answer his question. He recognized him. The visitor was Director Huang from the Education Bureau.

  "It's so late, is there something special about education that needs to be delivered? Can't it be done over the phone, why bother Director Huang to make a personal trip?" The principal asked, probing for information.

  Director Huang's face suddenly became extremely serious. He stared straight at the principal: "Your school has been reported by someone."

  "What's going on?" The principal asked nervously, already having an idea in his mind.

  "Some people posted some videos on the official website of the Education Bureau, exposing some dark secrets of your school. The director attaches great importance to this matter, so I was sent to investigate immediately."

  Cold sweat had already trickled down the principal's spine.

  "Director Huang, is there anything we need to cooperate with? We will tell you everything without reservation." Xia Ye said as he walked over to Director Huang.

  The principal's face turned white with fear.

  "I'd like to ask if those videos are real?" Director Huang asked warmly, now any cadre in a public place must have a people-friendly style, this key point Director Huang grasped very well.

  The corners of his mouth curled up unintentionally on a summer night: "The video was posted by me, so I'll take any legal responsibility. Anyway, I'm already over 18 years old."

  The principal looked at him in surprise, wasn't it agreed to wait for three days and listen to my response? How come you changed your mind? And also secretly doing something behind the scenes, this kid is too unfaithful to his promise!

  At the same time, he was filled with regret, and at that time, he should have agreed to lift the punishment for Tang Sugar, and then punish the two protagonists in the video.

  Now it's all out in the open and things have become difficult to handle. He secretly resented the headmaster, who had only instructed him to find a way to prevent interference with the school's decision on that summer night, not to provoke him. Now he was lying bravely wounded in the hospital, leaving himself to clean up the mess.

  After Huang Director finished investigating, Xia Ye and Tang Sugar accompanied Xiao Nuan back home.

  Maybe it's a coincidence or some other reason, but the two boys who used to walk together are now seemingly avoiding each other, with Tangtang in between.

  All three people were in a great mood on the way, especially Tang Sugar, who was excited and asked them: "Do you think that tomorrow morning at assembly time, the school will announce the cancellation of my punishment?"

  "It will definitely happen! If it's not withdrawn, I'll show you the power of a summer night!" Xia Ye said proudly, as if there was nothing in this world that he should be afraid of or escape from.

  Xiao Nuan chuckled softly beside him, her face showing an expression that didn't quite agree with Xia Ye's words.

  This enraged Xia Ye, but considering Tangtang's mood, he didn't show his anger and instead retorted with a cold stare: "What are you laughing at?"

  "I was thinking, now all the evidence is against the principal, how can he break through?"

  Xia Ye was taken aback for a moment before understanding dawned on him: "You're saying he's going to frame me?"

  Xiao Nuan nodded slightly.

  "What's going to happen?" Tangtang was anxious, she didn't want Xia Ye to get in trouble because of her.

  "Silly girl, you can't rush things that won't come no matter how anxious you are. It's just that the others from back then also didn't receive any punishment." Little Warm comforted.

  On a summer night, he stared at Chen Xiaonuan with an eerie expression in the dark, his focused look as if he had just met her.

  Everything was as expected by Chen Xiaonuan, and the principal was not willing to be pulled down from his throne. As soon as Director Huang left, he hurriedly rushed to the hospital to discuss countermeasures with the Dean of Studies.

  When he entered the ward, he saw two students, a boy and a girl, sitting in front of the instructor's bed. When they saw him, they stood up respectfully and called out: "Hello, Principal."

  The principal pointed at the two students and asked the instructor on the sickbed: "Who are they?"

  The director of education smiled awkwardly: "They are the ones I sent to deal with Xia Ye." He deliberately concealed his relationship with Tong Hua.

  Because the fairy tale had already told him what would happen after he left school, the principal said self-reproachfully: "It's all my fault for messing things up."

  The principal was very dissatisfied with this: "I just asked you to shut his mouth, not make a big deal out of it, now... Alas!"

  "Principal, actually you don't have to worry." Gu Xiannian said softly.

  The principal looked at him suspiciously: "Do you have a good way?"

  Gu Xian held up a digital camera in his hand and said with great confidence: "I have all the evidence of the summer night murder here."
