Chapter 853: Chapter 853: The Arrival of Li’s Father
This incompetent fool is more likely to cause trouble than fix it.
Although Li Madame’s husband is a key figure in a government bureau, in this capital filled with powerful people, how can one afford to underestimate others?
Gu Jin and his group are clearly not to be underestimated; these people can casually wield weapons and stir up trouble in the office, indicating that their background might be even more complex than Madame Li’s.
At this moment, the principal wished he could swallow Director Wang whole.
However, the other party had fainted, completely unaware of the situation at hand.
The principal apologized to Gu Jin, saying, "I’m very sorry that the school failed to clarify the circumstances and caused such trouble to your younger brother. We will conduct a thorough investigation and will not wrong any student."
Madame Li immediately became agitated: "What is that supposed to mean? Are you implying that my Feng’er falsely accused someone? He clearly stole the item, and now you’re helping to cover for bad students?"
Facing Madame Li, the principal felt no obligation to be as courteous as he was with Gu Jin, even though he was aware of her family’s background.
"Madame, our school will handle this matter impartially, and we hope you will not interfere."
After saying this, he turned to look at Li Feng, who stood next to Madame Li: "Did you personally see Gu Jiayu stealing your watch?"
Li Feng sensed the solemnity among the crowd and, as a child, dared not lie: "No, I didn’t, but Zhang Yanqing said he saw him take my watch."
"Who is Zhang Yanqing?" the principal asked.
Upon mentioning this person, Gu Jiayu gritted his teeth in anger and proactively said, "He is our classmate. Last time, because he bullied Meimei, I had some conflicts with him."
He cleverly shifted the concept of their fight to talk about the unpleasant friction between them.
The principal looked enlightened and said to a man beside him, "Take someone to find Zhang Yanqing, and search his desk and backpack in passing."
"I’ll take someone there immediately."
The man called upon a middle-aged woman next to him and turned to leave the office.
No one stopped them from leaving.
Watching their backs as they left, the principal seemed to think of something and called out to them: "Hold on!"
The two immediately stopped their steps, looking back at the principal in puzzlement.
The principal sighed softly, "It’s class time now, don’t do it in front of the other students; find an appropriate opportunity to disperse the classroom students."
The intention of these words was clear to everyone present.
The departing man and woman understood his meaning even more, nodded in agreement, then turned to leave.
Hearing the principal’s words, Gu Jin couldn’t help but admire his perspective.
Young people are bound to make mistakes, but making mistakes doesn’t mean they don’t have the chance to correct them.
The premise is that there are benevolent people around them who can give them a chance to correct their mistakes.
Madame Li also understood something but still showed disdain for all of it, being entirely indifferent.
In this not-so-small office, yet crowded with nearly twenty people, another person soon arrived.
It was none other than Madame Li’s husband, Li Feng’s father.
He was dressed in a suit, with an urgent expression, and he occasionally wiped sweat off his forehead with a blue checkered handkerchief.
"Why are you here?" Madame Li exclaimed in surprise upon seeing her husband.
When she came earlier, she had informed her husband that their son was having trouble at school, but he was in a meeting and couldn’t come over.
His sudden, hurried arrival was indeed unexpected for her.
Father Li cast a brief glance at his wife, then at his unharmed son beside her, his anxious expression slightly easing, followed by a shift to a look of concern.
