At the same time, the school also felt unprecedented public pressure. Students and parents questioned the school's management and demanded a satisfactory response.
"This matter must be dealt with seriously, and we must give the students an explanation! We cannot allow such a thing to happen again. We must strengthen campus safety management and create a good learning environment!" the school leaders emphasized at an emergency meeting.
The school's special investigation team expedited its work, conducting an in-depth investigation into Zhao Peng and Sun Hao's actions. Faced with irrefutable evidence, Zhao Peng and Sun Hao could no longer deny their crimes, and their misconduct was exposed one by one. The school decided to take serious action against them, expelling them from the school.
As the incident escalated, the companies owned by the Zhao and Sun families were severely impacted. Within the Zhao family's company, employees were filled with anxiety and scrambled to find alternative employment. The office phones rang incessantly, all carrying notifications from clients requesting contract terminations. Netizens widely expressed their boycott of the two companies' products and services, believing that such families had raised such deplorable children and that the companies' values were flawed. This boycott severely damaged the companies' businesses; clients cancelled contracts en masse, orders plummeted, the companies' cash flow dried up, and bankruptcy was accelerated.
The warehouse was piled high with unsold goods. The Zhao family's cash flow had dried up, making it impossible to pay employee wages and supplier fees. Debt collectors came to their door every day, and the Zhao parents were overwhelmed with worry, looking as if they had aged ten years overnight.
The Sun family's situation was equally dire. The company's stock price plummeted, shareholders withdrew their investments, and the company faced a massive financial crisis. Sun Hao's father desperately tried to salvage the situation, but to no avail. The family's property, vehicles, and other assets were mortgaged one after another, and their standard of living plummeted. Sun Hao's mother spent her days in tears, and the once happy family was now shattered.
Looking at the devastation in their home, Zhao Peng and Sun Hao were filled with remorse and fear. Their former arrogance had vanished, replaced by endless despair. They knew that their momentary wickedness had not only ruined their own future but also brought utter destruction to their families.
Zhao Peng huddled in the corner, his eyes glazed over, muttering to himself, "It's all my fault, I've ruined everyone..."
Sun Hao kept pounding his head, sobbing uncontrollably: "I regret it so much! Why did I bully others? Now my family is about to be gone..."
"How did our family end up like this!" Zhao Peng's father slammed his fist on the table in anger.
Zhao Peng lowered his head, his heart filled with regret and anger towards Su Ran and Lin Yue: "It's all Su Ran and Lin Yue's fault. We helped them with their work, and now that something has happened to our family, they don't even offer to help!"
The Sun family's situation was also dire; their house had been mortgaged, and their car had been used to pay off debts. Looking at his empty home, Sun Hao was filled with despair.
"It's all over! Those two bastards, Su Ran and Lin Yue, actually stood by and watched me die!" Sun Hao said through gritted teeth.
At this moment, Zhao Peng and Sun Hao were filled with resentment towards Su Ran and Lin Yue, and they decided to go and demand an explanation from Su Ran and Lin Yue.
The two arrived at a place where Su Ran and Lin Yue often went and met them.
"Su Ran, Lin Yue, our family is ruined because of you, and you just turn a blind eye!" Zhao Peng angrily accused.
Su Ran glanced at them disdainfully and said, "That's because you're incompetent. You couldn't even handle Lin Qian and made such a big fuss. Now you want to blame us?"
Lin Yue chimed in, "That's right, you caused this mess yourselves, don't try to drag us down with you."
Zhao Peng and Sun Hao were trembling with anger. Sun Hao rushed forward to make a move, but was stopped by Su Ran's bodyguard.
"You still dare to make a move? Don't you even know your current situation!" Su Ran sneered.
Zhao Peng gritted his teeth and said, "You'll get your comeuppance!"
"Hmph, we'll wait and see," Lin Yue said sarcastically.
Zhao Peng and Sun Hao left helplessly, knowing they no longer had the leverage to fight against Su Ran and Lin Yue. However, regret came too late; they had to bear the consequences of their actions.
