Upon hearing this, Principal Huang Qizheng flew into a rage, slamming his fist on the table. "How dare they! Do they really think that this Jiang fellow can control everything in Panyun County?"

Qin Diao continued from outside the door, "Chen Qian is the brother-in-law of Jiang Dagang, the director of the Red Army Association. We poor folks can't do anything about him. This old woman just wants justice today."

Where is justice?

Each word pierced the hearts of the onlookers. Yes, where is justice? Those who had been persecuted by the Red Army were filled with righteous indignation, but they were utterly powerless to do anything about it.

When Chen Qian heard about what happened at the school gate, he chuckled nonchalantly, sat down at his desk, and propped his legs up on it. "Heh, that's interesting. That old woman's got some nerve, daring to come looking for trouble. I haven't even settled accounts with her family yet."

Chen Qian wasn't afraid at all; he hadn't succeeded. Besides, with his brother-in-law there, what did he have to be afraid of?

Huang Qizheng asked Teacher Li to find Chen Qian in Huang Qizheng's office. When Teacher Li arrived, he saw Chen Qian looking quite uncomfortable, with a cigarette in his hand.

"Teacher Chen, the principal wants you to go to his office."

Chen Qian raised an eyebrow and looked at Teacher Li, his gaze sweeping over her like a searchlight. Teacher Li had been putting up with Chen Qian for a long time, but since she didn't have his connections, she could only endure it.

I really hope Xiao Moyan's grandmother can succeed in punishing this black sheep. But is there any hope?

Teacher Li didn't have much hope. After all, the entire Panyun County was under the control of the Red Army Association. What could ordinary people like them do?

"Thank you, Teacher Li. Could you please tell the principal that I was exhausted from teaching today, and my legs are numb and won't cooperate. If the principal has anything urgent, please have him come and talk to me."

Teacher Li really didn't know how someone like that could have survived this long. She was so angry she almost lost her composure, but she nodded with a forced smile, "Okay, I'll go tell the principal right now."

Chen Qian nonchalantly took a drag of his cigarette, inhaling all the smoke into his lungs. After waiting for more than half a minute, he slowly exhaled a few smoke rings. His posture was utterly leisurely.

Teacher Li quickly relayed Chen Qian's words to Principal Huang, who felt a tightness in his chest. Finally, he calmed down and said, "The school must have its stance. Since this has happened, it must not be baseless."

Chen Qian is to be immediately suspended from all his positions at the school pending investigation. If he is innocent, he can continue working at the school. If he did commit the crimes, then he will be dealt with accordingly. The school will not tolerate such a black sheep.

"Furthermore, the school needs to take a stand. This incident is egregious. It was our school's inadequate supervision of its staff that led to this, and the school should bear the responsibility."

Teacher Li thought Principal Huang made sense. The other teachers were all in Principal Huang's office at the time. Although some felt that this matter wouldn't bring down Chen Qian, they didn't say anything.

At this point, they could only wait and see.

After Principal Huang finished his meeting with the teachers, he prepared to go to the school gate to tell the public about the school's stance.

At the school gate, the crowd grew larger and larger like a tide, with noisy discussions and shouts mingling together, as if the entire county was being stirred up by this commotion.

The large, bloodstained white cloth fluttered in the wind, making the accusatory words on it even more conspicuous, like a sharp dagger piercing everyone's nerves.

Jiang Dagang, the director of the Red Army Association, was sitting at the dining table. There were eight dishes on the table, a mix of meat and vegetables, arranged very reasonably. Jiang Dagang's wife, Chen Juan, was pouring wine for him.

"Come on, Da Gang, you've been working so hard for Panyun County every day, have some wine to relax."

Jiang Dagang's face was expressionless, but Chen Juan could sense that he was in a good mood. Just as she handed Jiang Dagang the wine glass, a Red Army soldier rushed into the room without even knocking.

She whispered a few words in Jiang Dagang's ear, and Jiang Dagang's face instantly darkened as if it could drip water. Chen Juan was still unaware of what had happened. She scolded Hongbing, "What's wrong with you? You're so impulsive and have no composure at all."

Jiang Dagang splashed the wine in his hand onto Chen Juan's face with a "smack." "Ah!" Chen Juan yelled, wiping her face haphazardly and opening her mouth to say something, but seeing Jiang Dagang's expression that looked like he was about to devour her, she was too scared to utter a single word.

As Jiang Dagang dressed, he kept cursing: "That idiot Chen Qian! He's good for nothing and good for nothing! If this matter isn't resolved today, you and Chen Qian are both fired."

Chen Juan was completely bewildered by the scolding. However, she understood what had happened; it seemed Chen Qian had gotten into trouble again. Chen Juan was furious. She had repeatedly warned him not to cause trouble, but he just wouldn't listen.

Just as Chen Juan was about to say something, Jiang Dagang had already left with Hongbing.

How could Jiang Dagang not be anxious? He knew full well that if this matter escalated, he wouldn't be able to escape responsibility. In the entire Panyun County, who didn't know that Chen Qian was his brother-in-law?

He really hoped this was just a false alarm; if it were true, he didn't even want to think about it. Could he still keep his position as director of the Red Army Association?

Thinking of this, he was extremely anxious. He got into the car and kept urging the driver to drive faster, rushing towards the school, plotting how to quell the storm and save face for himself and his brother-in-law. They absolutely could not admit to this.

When Police Chief Pang Xuncheng received the news, he was sitting in his office reviewing documents. He put down the documents, his brow furrowed, and he fell into deep thought.
