“You…you’re talking nonsense!”
Zhao Zude suddenly yelled in panic, his words incoherent, "You and Lu Jiaming are in cahoots! Yes... you two are definitely in cahoots! You've come together to slander me! You have no evidence, you... you have no proof!"
"Shut up!" the principal yelled. "It's not time for you to talk. Stay still!"
Zhao Zude shrank his neck and then hid behind his mother.
"Principal, I didn't say that casually," the girl said, looking at the principal, word by word, "Before today, I was just like those girls, very scared and didn't dare to speak out. I could only try to avoid him."
"But classmate Lu Jiaming is my savior. His appearance made me luckier than others, which is why Zhao Zude...didn't make it to the final step."
The more she spoke, the harder it became. The words were like razor blades, making her voice gradually hoarse and trembling.
Perhaps she really couldn't continue speaking, so she lowered her head and silently unbuttoned her coat, revealing the thin short sleeves underneath.
The bleeding scratches on her arms looked very obvious and shocking, making her look even more fragile.
"Big sister, you are wearing so little, aren't you cold?" Xiaobao blurted out.
"Cold," the girl said softly, "but this is more intuitive."
"As far as I know, Zhao Zude is not a very clean person, so I think... you can take a look at his fingernails, maybe there are still some of my skin tissue left on them."
After hearing what she said, the principal immediately turned around, took two steps to Zhao Zude, and grabbed his hand while he looked terrified and helpless.
Sure enough, everything was just as the girl said.
"No, no..." Zhao Zude was about to cry, "Dad, listen to my explanation... I didn't tickle her yesterday, I just... I just pulled and pinched her a few times, I didn't do anything else."
Now he's confessed without being asked.
How cowardly and stupid.
Even Xiaobao couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart.
At this moment, the principal could no longer maintain his composure. From the bulging veins on the back of his hands, one could tell how angry he was, and his face was frighteningly gloomy.
Snap——
Then, an extremely loud slap landed on Zhao Zude's face. The principal shouted angrily, "Is this how I usually teach you? You're a naive brat, yet you've learned to bully others by taking advantage of your power. What power do you have? You're only relying on my power! You're bringing shame to me, your father!"
"What are you doing!" Zhao's mother hugged her son distressedly and yelled at him with tears in her eyes, "It's pitiful enough that my son is covered in injuries, and you hit him. Do you have any heart?"
"Shut up right there!" the principal shouted. "He's pitiful? But aren't those girls he bullied pitiful? What's the matter? Your son is a treasure, but aren't other people's children also treasures to their parents?!"
"If you keep pampering him like this, he'll have to spend the rest of his life in jail! You're ruining him!"
The principal's face flushed with anger, his chest heaving. Teacher Zhang quickly handed him a cup of warm water and gently advised, "Calm down first. Educating children still requires more communication. Beating won't work."
"Yeah, I know."
The principal raised his head and drank the water from the cup. After calming down a little, he said to the girl, "I'm sorry, classmate. On behalf of my good-for-nothing son, I want to apologize to you and the other girls who were hurt."
“No, no, no,” the girl waved her hands repeatedly, “Principal, you don’t have to do this…”
"As long as you don't make things difficult for Lu Jiaming, it's fine. He's a really good person and a very good student. It would be a shame if he was punished."
"Don't worry," the principal forced a smile. "Not only will I not make things difficult for him, I will also single him out for praise at tomorrow's flag-raising ceremony."
He paused, then turned to look at Teacher Zhang. "Teacher Zhang, please take the time to count the students who have been harmed by Zhao Zude this semester. Have them all go to the hospital for a physical examination, and I will reimburse them."
"Okay, I understand," Teacher Zhang replied.
"Principal," Lu Jiaming suddenly said, "I have another question for you."
Principal: “You say”
Lu Jiaming: "Since Zhao Zude is your son, what do you plan to do with him?"
"Jia Ming!" Teacher Zhang and Lin Ze shouted in unison.
The current result is already very good, but if he asks this kind of question at this time, it will easily put the principal in a difficult position and create an awkward situation for both parties.
But the principal did not show the slightest hesitation. He just paused slightly and said in a tone that could not be disobeyed: "Expel!"
"Dad!" Zhao Zude called him anxiously, "Dad, you can't do this to me. I'm your own son!"
"Shut up!" the principal growled. "I'll deal with you when we get home!"
Xiaobao and others were all very surprised. The original intention of Lu Jiaming asking this question was to find out whether the principal would just educate Zhao Zude privately and not punish him openly.
I didn't expect that the principal would actually handle the case impartially and without mercy, and directly hold a supreme trial.
Lu Jiaming instantly felt refreshed and all the anger in his heart disappeared.
After the principal left with his wife and children, Lu Jiaming and others thanked Teacher Zhang again and again before leaving the office.
Lin Ze sent them both to the school gate and finally couldn't help asking, "Hey Jiaming, I was curious just now. Why did you bring Xiaobao to school? As a mascot?"
"As a distant cousin," Xiaobao said innocently.
