These are... Jiang Nian's parents?
The syllable the vice principal just uttered was clearly "Si".
Although the vice principal was interrupted before he could finish speaking, the members of the parent committee present still heard it.
The surname Si is already quite rare.
The only person who could command such respect from the vice principal of Yingzhong High School in an instant was that person from the Si family.
But the person in front of me said he was Jiang Nian's parent.
So, Jiang Nian is backed by the Si family?!
The Si family controls one-third of Jiangcheng's economic lifeline.
Yingzhong is not an elite school; these parents are just ordinary people at best.
No one expected that a student from the worst class, Class 36, would have such a connection.
The parents, who had been angrily shouting just moments before, looked at each other in bewilderment, none of them daring to speak first.
They remained silent, but Si Boye's gaze swept over everyone before he spoke.
"Before I came here, I checked. Everyone here is a parent committee representative from each of the 37 senior high school classes, right?"
"I'd like to ask, before this video was released today, was my daughter Niannian not in Yingzhong? Have any of your children experienced any safety threats before this?"
"Are you really in such a hurry that you don't even want to give people time to investigate the matter properly, and you're already rushing to kick them out of the school?"
Si Boye raised his voice as he spoke.
His narrowed eyes revealed a dangerous aura.
A few short words left the person speechless.
Looking at it this way, they were indeed a bit too hasty.
The main reason was that someone mentioned this in the family committee group, and everyone's emotions were stirred up in just a few words.
But thinking about it carefully, Jiang Nian has been in Yingzhong for almost a month, and I haven't heard of her causing any trouble or hurting anyone at school.
Besides, even if someone is in a hurry, it should be the parents of Class 36 who are most anxious, since Jiang Nian has no interaction with students from other classes.
"Which parent could sit still knowing that a murderer is in their child's school?"
At this moment, a middle-aged man in a jacket stepped forward. Despite being intimidated by the man's aura, I still forced myself to maintain my composure.
This man is one of the parent committee representatives at today's lecture.
He was also the first to post the message in the parents' committee group.
Having received the young lady's money, he naturally had to do as she instructed.
They made a big fuss among the parents, putting pressure on the school to expel the student named Jiang Nian from Yingzhong.
"What, is this gentleman here to threaten us and shut us up?"
"Does the murderer's family have some influence, so we parents have to put up with it and let our children go to the same school as the murderer?"
Si Boye glanced at him coldly: "Murderer?"
"Speak out this name, do you have any evidence?"
The man yelled, "What evidence do we need? That video recorded the whole thing..."
Si Boye remained calm, his tone growing even colder: "My Niannian has no criminal record whatsoever, either domestically or internationally. If you don't believe me, you can check with the police."
No criminal record?
The parents present were all taken aback.
Could it be that Jiang Nian's murder has not been exposed or dealt with by the police?
The man's eyes widened, and he immediately said, "No criminal record? Doesn't that make things even more serious?"
"If this case had happened abroad, the police there might still be searching for the murderer."
"That's a matter for the police."
Si Boye's expression was unreadable.
“If one day the police come knocking on my door and take my Niannian away, accusing her of being a murderer, you can call her that.”
"But before that, if anyone dares to call her that again, I can't guarantee what I'll do."
As he spoke, he lifted his eyelids to look over.
Everyone gasped.
A single sentence can instantly instill fear in someone.
Seeing that no one was speaking, Si Boye stubbed out his cigarette and slowly scanned the room.
"Also, no one is telling you to put up with it and stay in the same school as my daughter, Niannian."
"I'm giving you a choice."
"First, once you step out of this door, you and your child will transfer to another school. You can choose any school in Jiangcheng you like. After that, this matter will no longer be your concern."
"Secondly, everyone here today will receive 500,000 each. Once you've taken the money, you must keep your mouths shut until the matter is resolved."
Five hundred thousand?
Upon hearing this number, everyone present was excited.
To be honest, this matter was quite questionable to begin with.
What was supposed to be a perfectly good school lecture was suddenly changed while parents and school leaders were still watching the live stream.
Regardless of whether the girl actually committed murder, the fact that such a video was publicly exposed clearly indicates that someone had planned it in advance to ruin the girl's life.
Thinking about it that way, isn't the mastermind behind it all the more terrifying?
Seeing the hesitant looks in everyone's eyes, Si Boye coldly curled his lips.
"Of course, there is a third option."
"If you don't want to transfer schools or pay money, I have other ways to shut you up."
"You can decide for yourselves."
After saying that, Si Boye casually tossed a stack of already filled-out checks onto the coffee table in front of him.
The parents exchanged glances.
Someone swallowed hard and spoke first.
"I believe the school will give us parents a reasonable resolution."
"I also trust the school, and I'm willing to wait for the school to investigate and clarify the matter."
"I'm willing to wait."
