Chapter 72: Overkill
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The principal’s room was filled with people. There were a few potbellied middle-aged men, a bald man with an unfriendly expression, and a mean-looking middle-aged woman standing beside him. In addition, there were a few security guards who looked a little troubled.
Xi Feng’s preliminary deduction was that this might be a campus violation of a bad nature. He wondered how the victim was doing and what identity Shan Yue was involved in.
Just as his thoughts were quickly wandering and he was thinking about how to fight the lawsuit to protect the victim’s rights as much as possible, Shan Yue whispered into his ear and briefly explained the cause and effect of the entire incident.
“So, you called me here because they accused you of cheating.” Xi Feng was in disbelief. This was simply an overkill!
“Yes.” Shan Yue looked very innocent. After all, she only knew Xi Feng as a lawyer.
“Alright.” Xi Feng swallowed the bitterness in his heart and agreed. Although this was his first time fighting such a low-level lawsuit, he would try his best to… make the school lose everything.
“Xi… Are you really Lawyer Xi?” The principal was a little stunned. He stared at Xi Feng’s face and did not know what to do.
When the dean saw that other irrelevant people had entered the principal’s office, he became even angrier. He shouted at Shan Yue, “How big of a chaos do you want to make? Do you think this is very fun? If you know what’s good for you, get out of here immediately!”
“Sir, please don’t shout at my client. You have to know that every word you say now will be used as evidence against you for infringing on my client’s rights and interests,” Xi Feng immediately reminded the dean coldly. With that, he signaled his assistant behind him to take his statement.
Before Xi Feng could start, there was another commotion at the door. Han Lin walked in breathlessly, followed by the police chief, a group of police officers, and a secretary.
As soon as he saw Shan Yue and confirmed that she was unharmed and not even a strand of hair had fallen off, Han Lin’s suspended heart relaxed. He turned to look at the principal and criticized, “How did you become the principal?”
When he saw that the mayor of S City, Han Lin, had arrived, the principal immediately became nervous. Seeing that the police chief had also brought people over, the principal’s legs went weak. “Mayor Han, Chief Song, why are you here?”
With that, he quickly moved. He panicked and wanted to pour tea for the two big shots, but from the corner of his eye, he saw Han Lin and Chief Song of the police station surrounding Shan Yue and asking about her well-being. He was so shocked that he broke out in a layer of sweat. Who exactly was this Shan Yue? A few calls had caused a few big shots to come looking for her?
“Shan Yue, don’t be afraid. I’m here to uphold justice for you,” Han Lin said on tenterhooks, afraid that Shan Yue would suffer grievances.
Seeing this, Chief Song of the police station also said kindly, “Little student, you were the one who called the police just now, right? Don’t worry, with our people’s police around, we won’t let you suffer any grievances.”
The reason why he could get to the position of police chief under Han Lin was because he had learned from Han Lin to read the situation and observe people’s expressions.
Shan Yue did not know the two people in front of her and was a little puzzled, but she still told them the whole story again.
As soon as Han Lin heard this, he smashed the table and shouted at the principal with a cold expression, “I handed the heavy responsibility of teaching and educating people to you. Is this how you treat the children? Shan Yue was wronged and slandered. She was even insulted by an unscrupulous teacher. She found you and hoped that you would solve the problem, but in the end, you can’t distinguish between right and wrong and even inverted right and wrong?”
Chief Song also held a cup of tea and lectured, “When you have a conflict with a student, you actually don’t think about how to resolve it properly. Instead, you find the school security guards to use violence on the student and force the child to call the police. You really shouldn’t.”
Xi Feng had already brought his men to finish the investigation of the teacher beside him. He walked over with a stack of records filled with the details and points of the incident and said coldly, “I’ve already investigated clearly. The trial will start on Monday. Prepare yourself.”
The school was under pressure from three parties. They were so shocked that their backs were drenched. They tried to defend themselves helplessly. “No…”
