Chapter 484 Chapter 486 Quarrel
"Principal Ye, Inspector Zhao and the others happen to be away. Everyone here is from our school, so I will be frank. You have all heard Inspector Zhao's analysis just now. The only person who has connections and resources and could have planned this explosion and who also happens to have a conflict with Ning Xiaoluo's mother, Rong Xianxian, is the eldest daughter of the Gong family. Based on the way she does things, there must be someone who took the blame and got away with it. Do you think Ms. Rong can accept such an outcome?" Principal Yang said bluntly.
"If Ms. Rong cannot accept it and insists on a thorough investigation, or makes other unreasonable demands, what should we do then? We'd better discuss these things. It won't be too late to see her after we've discussed them. What do you think?" After Principal Yang finished speaking, the other people in the office exchanged glances, but no one spoke.
"It's too early to jump to conclusions before the matter is fully investigated! How can you be sure that Gong Hanyu cannot be traced back to this? There are not many people in the capital who can make the fire explosion talisman. Following this clue, we may be able to catch the real culprit." Principal Ye retorted disapprovingly.
“Brother Ye is from a prominent family. Doesn’t he know the rules of the game here? Even if we investigate thoroughly, the evidence on the surface will never implicate the real owner. Those who suffer the consequences are all his subordinates.” Principal Yang said with a chuckle.
"As long as we investigate it thoroughly, even if it is true as you said, Ms. Rong will understand!" Principal Ye disagreed with Principal Yang's decision to exclude Rong Xianxian.
"Everyone, before I came here just now, I received a message from the minister. He hopes to consider the reputation of the school and keep this matter under control and not let the situation escalate any further." Principal Yang glanced at Principal Ye. If it weren't for Ye's quick action and calling in people from the Criminal Investigation Department, things would have been much simpler.
"How can we prevent the situation from escalating? Principal Yang wants to deal with the matter perfunctorily. If so, how are we going to explain to the victim's family?" Principal Ye sneered.
"Brother Ye, the last incident involved Zhuo Ya from the Academic Affairs Office, and you agreed to Ms. Rong's request and allowed her to squeeze in two students. Your way of handling things set a very bad precedent, making it seem as if our school is in the wrong. I actually don't understand your way of handling things." Principal Yang answered the question irrelevantly and brought up the old matter again.
"What's there to not understand? If something happens to a student at school, and we fail to fulfill our duty of protection, shouldn't we comfort the student's family?"
"There are more than 2,000 students in our school. How come nothing happened to other students, but only this child was in danger one after another? The parents of the student should not only look for the school's fault, but also look for their own fault!" Principal Yang glanced at the other people in the office while speaking.
"What do you mean? Oh, I understand. You are beating around the bush because you think Rong Xianxian doesn't have any powerful background and is easy to control. Do you want to force her child to drop out of school or use this as a threat to get away with it?" Principal Ye said bluntly. As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately attracted discussions from others.
"That's not what I meant. The Gong family is also an old family in Beijing. More than a month ago, Gong Hanyu was assassinated in the other courtyard. I believe everyone knows about this. Internal fighting is strictly prohibited in the Beijing Security Zone. All forces have their own ways to resolve disputes. It was Ms. Rong who started the fight first, and then she backed down and avoided the fight. So, if something happened to the child, it was ultimately the adults' fault. She was the one who broke the rules first, and now she treats our school as a safe haven."
"Principal Yang means that we will not accept children from anyone who has unresolved personal grudges. We have to wait until they have resolved their grudges, right?" Principal Ye asked in great surprise.
"Principal Ye, please don't misinterpret my meaning. These are words you said, not me!" Principal Yang waved his hands repeatedly. This guy named Ye's words were really unpleasant to the ears.
"Since Gong Hanyu paid compensation, it means that she admitted that she had made a wrong judgment and wronged Rong Xianxian. As for you saying that Rong Xianxian was afraid to fight, she didn't want to fight and kill, she just wanted to live a peaceful life. Is that wrong? Moreover, even if there are grievances between adults, it shouldn't involve children. Children carry the future and hope of the nation. How despicable it is to attack a weak child?"
"Brother Ye, don't argue with me here. This is for the sake of the school's reputation. I am just conveying the minister's intention. If you insist on going against the minister, I have nothing to say!" Seeing that he couldn't win the argument, Principal Yang brought up the minister again.
"Is what the minister said necessarily right? If you really care about the reputation of the school, this matter should be investigated thoroughly. Since the children are sent to school, we have the obligation to supervise and protect them. We will never allow any forces to run wild in the school. This is why most parents choose to send their children to our school. The main body of the school is still the students. Without outstanding students, what's the point of hiring the best coaches and teachers?" You are still under the guise of considering the reputation of the school, but don't you even see if the reasons you made up can stand up to scrutiny?
Who doesn't know the deal behind this? Who doesn't know what benefits the Gong family promised them?
"Ye Jiadong, stop exaggerating here. School affairs are not decided by one person. This incident happened when Brother Sun Wen was on duty, so he should have handled it. Dean Sun, what do you think we should do about this matter?" Principal Yang did not expect Ye Jiadong to be so tough on this matter. He usually seemed to be indifferent to everything. Could it be that the Ye family intended to win over Rong Xianxian and make her their own?
Dean Sun was listening to the quarrel between the two principals, and suddenly he was called. He smiled, but thought to himself that it was bad luck. This matter was difficult to handle. Why did he have to bear the responsibility? Isn't this embarrassing?
"Principals, how about I go and find out what Ms. Rong thinks and see how Inspector Zhao is doing, and then we can all discuss a solution?" Dean Sun Wen said with an apologetic smile.
"Dean Sun, Ms. Rong doesn't look very happy. How about we go check on Inspector Zhao first?" Zhang Lanxiang had just met Rong Xianxian. Under the pressure of Rong Xianxian's eyes, he almost blurted out everything he knew. When he realized something was wrong, he immediately found an excuse to slip away.
"We'll see each other sooner or later. We can't hide. Besides, this is our territory. What's there to be afraid of a woman?" As Dean Sun spoke, he came to the reception area downstairs in the office accompanied by Zhang Lanxiang, his assistant and others.
"President Sun, Ms. Rong is inside, please..."
"Director Zhang, I'm going to go to Detective Zhao to find out about the progress of the case first. You can go in and talk to her!" After saying this, Dean Sun turned around and left with his assistant and others.
