"How could that be? I really didn't watch it. After all, it's a video, and there might be something terrible in it. Besides, it came under the guise of reporting something. I gave it to you as soon as I received it. How could I have time to watch it?"

The secretary was startled, not expecting the vice principal to see through her so quickly. But she absolutely could not admit it at this moment, not even if a knife was held to her throat!

He forced a smile and explained, "I'm not interested in this kind of thing; everything should be decided by the leadership."

"Young people these days are terrified of trouble. They're all about avoiding the limelight and making no mistakes. Sigh... They're much smarter than our generation."

The vice principal sighed and shook his head.

They were all straightforward people in their generation. The so-called "winding and turning" was something they gradually learned after they rose to leadership positions.

The secretary vehemently denied it, behaving like a complete scoundrel. Even if the vice principal had noticed, he had no evidence.

"hey-hey……"

The secretary scratched his head and gave a fawning smile.

But this is a responsibility he absolutely cannot bear.

"Forget it, if you didn't see it, you didn't see it. Let's just pretend this never happened."

The vice principal picked up the tablet, opened the email, deleted the video, and then locked the screen and placed it face down on the table.

"...?"

The secretary was stunned.

He had imagined countless possibilities, such as the vice principal's expressionless face being due to anger, and that he hadn't recovered yet, and that once he did, he would expel Shen Yanxin and Xia Che on the spot.

Only this kind of behavior is in line with the vice principal's impartiality.

After all, the vice principal in the secretary's memory had never bowed his head to the children of the powerful and wealthy.

Today...

What's wrong?

The evidence is right in front of us, yet the vice principal does nothing and even deletes the video?

The secretary wasn't naive enough to think that the vice principal deleted the video to be on the safe side, to avoid leaving any evidence, and then deal with them later.

This clearly shows they don't intend to hold a grudge!

how so?

Are these two people so powerful that even a vice principal who dares to fight against the children of the powerful and wealthy has to bow down to them?

"Go on, go do whatever you need to do, nothing happened."

The vice principal waved his hand, then, as if he had thought of something, his wrinkled eyes narrowed slightly, and he said calmly, "Since you've decided to have nothing to do with this matter, then... nothing happened today. You and I know nothing, understand?"

Upon hearing this, the secretary, who was about to leave, froze, and could only manage a wry smile.

This is a call to action against him.

It seems the vice principal is quite unhappy with his non-stick pan...

"Yes, I know."

The secretary scratched his head and left as if fleeing.

Only after the secretary left and the door closed again did the vice principal break free from his expressionless facade and give a helpless smile.

"Damn it... Not only did you guys see that gossip post, I saw it too. It's caused such a big stir... How could no one have seen it?"

The vice principal looked up at the ceiling and sighed softly.

The scene from that time flashed through my mind.

In fact, when the gossip post first appeared on the forum, some school leaders had already noticed it and did not ignore it. They directly convened a meeting that only high-ranking school leaders could attend.

The meeting's content was simple: how to handle the rumors surrounding Shen Yanxin and Xia Che.

If it were anyone else, no matter how distinguished their background, as long as they crossed the line of Weiyang's prohibition against early dating, they would be punished without hesitation, ranging from disciplinary action to expulsion.

Regardless of the reason, Shen Yanxin's request to run for student council president will be cancelled.

But that's the crux of the problem.

Shen Yanxin was not an ordinary person of power and wealth.

There was one thing that only the higher-ups of Weiyang knew.

That was Shen Yanxin's father, who was actually the largest shareholder of Weiyang. The venues that Weiyang used for the college league were even provided by Shen Yanxin's father...

Moreover, Shen Yanxin has excellent grades, so getting into a prestigious university is not a problem for her.

With such a high-achieving student and a family that consistently provides financial support to Weiyang, it's surprising that she's now being accused of having a puppy love relationship...

What should we do?

The entire leadership of Weiyang held a long discussion, with passionate speeches from one side and reasoned arguments from the other, lasting for more than four hours. The conclusion they reached was...

There's no way to fix it.

There's absolutely no way.

They can't possibly eat, drink, and enjoy other people's money and investments, and then expel their daughter, can they?

That doesn't make sense...

Moreover, Shen Yanxin didn't make any major mistakes. Compared to those who went too far, dating is a very small matter.

Therefore, the outcome of the meeting was...

All the senior officials of Weiyang turned a blind eye to this matter, pretending not to see it.

Even if you see it, pretend you didn't.

I don't know, I'm not sure, I don't understand.

These nine words are the solution provided by Weiyang.

Fortunately, the gossip post was deleted not long afterward, and the students only discussed it for a while, thinking that the school leaders were too busy to pay attention to the school forum. Shen Yanxin was also very popular, and Xia Che's fearsome reputation was intimidating enough that no one dared to report it by name.

Over time, the hype died down.

The vice principal thought the matter was over, but unexpectedly, someone dared to report it today.

Moreover, the video that was deleted back then reappeared in my email.

Isn't this harming people?

damn it……

Why would you choose to talk to me when there are so many school leaders around?

You want to harm me?

What did I do to offend you?

Didn't they realize that this matter didn't cause the slightest ripple in Weiyang?

Still don't understand what's going on?

No one else dared to interfere, and even the entire school leadership unanimously decided to turn a blind eye. At this critical juncture, you want me to start a group?

If you want me dead, just say so...

"Could it be that one of my enemies is trying to harm me because I've been having such a good time lately?"

The vice principal placed his hands together on the table, his brows furrowed, as he mentally reviewed all the people he didn't get along with.

I racked my brains for ages, but still couldn't come up with a solution.

The account that sent the video is a new account, obviously just registered, and there's no way to find the person there.

The video has now been deleted, and this matter will not cause any major disturbances, but the vice principal feels it is imperative to find the person who tried to harm him as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if one trick doesn't work, there will definitely be countless more.

The enemy is in the shadows, while we are in the open; we could fall into their trap at any moment.

You should know that the position of vice principal is coveted by many who are constantly watching you, hoping you'll make a mistake so they can take your place...
