"I just want to see the results as soon as possible."

Su Jianguo clenched his fist.

"This beast destroyed my son's family and caused so many innocent girls to suffer."

That afternoon, the special report in the Beijing Daily exploded like a bomb throughout Beijing.

"The Vice Principal of a Prestigious University is a Beast in Disguise: Exposing Zhang Haiyang's Sinful Empire."

The report detailed Zhang Haiyang's various crimes and included some photographic evidence.

Zhang Haiyang was in his school office at the time, completely unaware of the impending storm.

He crossed his legs and made a smug phone call.

"Don't worry, that vegetable seller's son will get at least ten years... What? A newspaper?"

His face suddenly turned deathly pale, and the phone in his hand fell to the ground with a "thud".

The office door was suddenly pushed open, and the director of the academic affairs office rushed in in a panic.

"Principal Zhang, something terrible has happened! There are so many reporters outside, and... and police too!"

Zhang Haiyang tried to remain calm, but large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"What's the panic! I, Zhang Haiyang, have an upright and honest life. Why would I be afraid of them?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than three uniformed police officers stood at the office door, the lead officer flashing an arrest warrant.

"Zhang Haiyang, you are suspected of multiple crimes including embezzlement, bribery, indecent assault, and organizing prostitution. Please come with us."

"fart!"

Zhang Haiyang slammed his fist on the table and stood up.

"Do you know who I am? My older brother is..."

"Your elder brother, Zhang Haishan, has also been apprehended."

The officer coldly interrupted him.

"Now, please cooperate with the investigation."

Zhang Haiyang's face instantly turned from red to white, and his legs went weak, causing him to slump into a chair.

He looked around and found that the window was already crowded with students and teachers watching, many of them with anger and disdain in their eyes.

"This...this is all a frame-up!"

Zhang Haiyang's voice began to tremble.

"I need to find a lawyer..."

"Let's save those words for when we get to the station."

The officer gestured for his colleague to come forward and handcuff Zhang Haiyang's wrists with the cold handcuffs.

As Zhang Haiyang was escorted out of the office, a burst of applause erupted in the corridor.

Some female teachers covered their faces and cried, while some bolder students shouted.

"You beast! You deserve it!"

The police car sped away from the school. Through the car window, Zhang Haiyang saw the reporters and angry parents gathered at the school gate and finally realized that he was completely finished.

...

Police station.

In the interrogation room.

The glaring desk lamp shone directly on Zhang Haiyang's face.

After a night of interrogation, his once oily face had turned ashen, and the wound from the ear that Su Mingqiang had cut off was throbbing with pain.

"Zhang Haiyang, confess and you will be treated leniently; resist and you will be punished severely."

The interrogating officer banged on the table.

"The evidence is irrefutable; there's no point in denying it."

Zhang Haiyang lowered his head, sweat dripping down his cheeks onto the interrogation record.

Police have obtained multiple pieces of evidence against him for embezzling school construction funds, accepting bribes from parents, and molesting female students. Even the stolen money he hid at his mistress's house has been seized.

"I...I want to report this!"

Zhang Haiyang suddenly looked up, a ruthless glint in his eyes.

"Officer, can I get a reduced sentence if I perform meritorious service?"

Zhang Haiyang looked at the two policemen interrogating him with hopeful eyes.

"Yes, if there is any significant meritorious service, the sentence will definitely be reduced."

An older police officer responded.

"Okay...okay...I'll report it. Deputy Director Wang of the Education Bureau was involved, as was Section Chief Li of the Tax Bureau...they took more money than I did!"

The veteran police officer exchanged a glance with his colleague.

"Go on."

Zhang Haiyang grasped at a straw and began frantically exposing his accomplices, even going so far as to embellish the story.

He confessed to using his position as vice principal to coerce female teachers and students, how he and his elder brother ran a brothel to bribe officials, and how he embezzled school funds for gambling...

"The girl who jumped off the building last year... it was because of me..."

Zhang Haiyang's voice grew softer and softer.

"But I didn't mean to, I just..."

The police officer slammed his hand on the table.

"Just what? Just raped her? Zhang Haiyang, do you know how much blood is on your hands?"

The interrogation lasted for three days and three nights.

Zhang Haiyang's psychological defenses completely collapsed.

When the police placed a two-hundred-page interrogation record in front of him, he signed his name with trembling hands.

Because this matter has caused such a big stir, the higher authorities have demanded that it be dealt with seriously and quickly.

Seven days later.

The Sijiucheng Intermediate People's Court held a hearing for this case.

Hundreds of people gathered outside the courthouse, many of them relatives of the victims holding up photos of the victims and demanding that the perpetrators be severely punished.

The judge delivered the verdict in court.

"The defendant Zhang Haiyang is guilty of embezzlement, bribery, rape, organizing prostitution, and intentional injury... He is sentenced to death with deprivation of political rights for life..."

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers.

Zhang Haiyang's face turned ashen, and his legs went weak as he was carried out of the courtroom by bailiffs.

That same afternoon, Su Mingqiang's case also reached a verdict.

Considering Zhang Haiyang's heinous acts and Li Jinhua's testimony that she had been coerced for a long time, the court determined that Su Mingqiang's crime was a crime of passion and sentenced him to three years in prison.

...

In the visiting room of the Beijing Prison.

Su Jianguo sat on the cold iron stool, his fingers unconsciously tapping on the table.

This is the second time his son has gone to prison.

A "click" sound.
