1470 The Truth
“You said you wanted to give me justice, but you refused to do so. I gave you a method, but you’re not willing to accept it. Aren’t you just fooling me?” Jiang Yu retorted, “I’m afraid of doing things and I look like a hooligan when I’m looking at me. A person like you can still be the principal?”
“Do you even know how to speak? You’re really uneducated!” The principal was furious. “Since I said that I would investigate this matter, I definitely won’t lie to you! It’s just a matter of time. Give me some time and I’ll be able to investigate this matter clearly. Whether it’s you or Lu Ting, I’ll give you an explanation.”
“Then how long do you need? Now, there’s a way to immediately investigate this matter in front of you, but you refuse to accept it. I wonder if you really want to help the two of us.” Jiang Yu said.
Lu Ting stood at the side the entire time with his head lowered and his neck shrunk, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
“I already told you that you can’t show your student’s photo to outsiders. You have nothing to do with this school. Why should I show you my student’s photo? If you randomly point out anyone, wouldn’t I be accusing my student wrongly?”
“Whether or not I wronged your student, won’t we know when I find that person?”
Lu Ting was also very eager to prove his innocence, so he helped Jiang Yu. “That’s right, Principal. Please show Jiang Yu the photo of the female student! As long as she recognizes that person, we’ll settle this matter and you’ll have one less thing to worry about, right? If this continues, my reputation in the school will become worse, and the school’s reputation will also become worse.”
Although the principal was an old hooligan, he still cared about the reputation of the school. Now that both Lu Ting and Jiang Yu were asking him to do so, he could not think of a reason to refuse even if he wanted to. Therefore, he could only say, “Alright, I understand. But you must not lie to me. You can’t mistake him for someone else. Otherwise, you’ll have to apologize to that student.”
“It’s a little too early to say that. If it’s really that student, I’m afraid she’ll have to apologize to me.” Jiang Yu said coldly.
The principal pulled out all the photos of the female students. Jiang Yu looked at them from the beginning and glanced at them briefly. Finally, she stopped at a photo and pointed at it. “It’s her. Let me see what the name is…Lin Shi.”
“Lin Shi?” Lu Ting was also thinking, but after thinking for a long time, he confirmed that there was no student named Lin Shi among the students he had taught. “She’s not a student I taught. Why would she publish such an article to spread rumors about me?”
“Then you have to ask her about this matter.” Jiang Yu looked at the principal and said, “I’ve already pointed her out to you. Call her over now. We’ll talk about everything in person and see what’s going on.”
The principal could only do as Jiang Yu said and ask Lin Shi’s class teacher to call her to the office.
After Lin Shi arrived, he did not show fear like ordinary people. Instead, he was very excited, as if he had encountered some challenge.
“Principal, I heard that you were looking for me?”
The principal looked at Lin Shi’s cynical look and was angry. He questioned, “Did you write that article on the school forum? And that photo, did you take it?”
“I wrote the article.” Lin Shi didn’t refute him. Instead, he openly admitted, “But I didn’t take the photo. It was a friend of mine. But I was the one who asked him to take it.”
“Who is your friend? Call him over!” The principal was furious.
He knew that Lin Shi was the daughter of the Lin Group and was only a loan student in this school. However, this was also an identity that he could not afford to offend. Moreover, the Lin Group had even invested more in the school. Therefore, he asked Lin Shi to call that friend over to vent his anger on that person.
He did not want to make Lin Shi unhappy.
The principal’s plan did not succeed, and he was a little embarrassed.
“Both of you are at fault. Not only will you be punished, but your friend must also be punished!” The principal said.
