He turned his head slightly when he heard the door open. The eyes behind his glasses were deep and cold, like a wolf waiting for an opportunity. However, when he saw Lan Shuang, he softened visibly. He waved at her and patted the seat next to him: "Come and sit."
The principal, who was about to ask Lan Shuang to come over, said: "..."
He withdrew his hand awkwardly and said nonchalantly, "Student Lan Shuang, Teacher Tie, please take a seat."
Lan Shuang sat next to Mu Yan, and Lao Tie looked at her and sat on the single sofa on the other side.
"Ahem—I'm sure you already know why I called you here this time." The principal said with a gentle, official smile, "This is what happened. A while ago, a classmate reported that a photo of Lan Shuang was circulating widely on the school forum, and some very... offensive words were said. It caused a huge uproar, and almost all the teachers and students in the school knew about it. To minimize the impact, we immediately contacted the forum administrators to delete the post, but it was unsuccessful."
Hearing this, Mu Yan looked at the principal expressionlessly: "Why do you want to delete the post? If you delete it, won't there be no evidence? This matter has such a serious impact, I don't intend to resolve it privately."
The principal looked embarrassed. "Yes, this is indeed a serious matter. So how do you want to deal with it? We can discuss it."
He was actually under a lot of pressure. Qin Zhou's parents invested a lot of money in the school. Not only did they build the teaching building, but also the new cafeteria. They had originally planned to donate another dormitory building next year to improve the living environment for the students. But now that they knew about this, they said they would think about it again and asked him to deal with the school affairs first before talking to them.
The principal knew that this matter could not be resolved peacefully, and a big blister appeared in his mouth overnight. As a result, as soon as he got to work today, he received a call from Mu Yan, asking for a face-to-face meeting.
He feels more bitter than bitter gourd now.
If he knew who was behind this, he would skin that person alive!
Mu Yan held Lan Shuang's hand and said calmly, "This matter is actually very easy to resolve. I directly looked up the IP address yesterday and found the poster. The other party said that someone paid him to post it, and then deleted it after three days."
The principal was shocked: "This was premeditated!"
"That's right." Mu Yan glanced at him and continued, "But the hacker's methods weren't very sophisticated. I was able to find out. I used some tricks to get the buyer's contact information and the complete chat history and transfer records. Principal, please take a good look."
The principal was stunned when he saw Mu Yan take out a computer from his handbag. His slender fingers quickly tapped the keyboard a few times. Mu Yan stood up and put the computer on the desk. "Look."
The principal looked at him suspiciously, then looked at the computer screen, and his expression suddenly became extremely ugly.
This person initially used a new account and seemed to be acting quite seriously, but for some reason Mu Yan found out the name of the person who opened the card, and then traced the person's transaction chain. Finally, the evidence pointed to Zhang Ming, the head teacher of Class 3.
The principal stood up with a jerk and slammed his fist on the table. "Great! This Zhang Ming, as a teacher, doesn't think about how to teach students. Every day he studies these crooked ways and devotes his mind to how to frame students! He's really abominable!"
The most important thing is that it almost ruined his dormitory building!
He immediately turned to look at Mu Yan, lowered his posture, and asked embarrassedly, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Mu, it's true that our school didn't handle this matter well. We didn't discover the conflict between Zhang Ming and Lan Shuang in time, and we didn't resolve it in time, which led to him causing such a disaster. How do you want to handle it? We will definitely do it within our capabilities."
Mu Yan didn't say anything, looked at Lan Shuang and waved.
Lan Shuang stood up and walked over. Mu Yan gently rubbed her head and whispered, "How is it? What are you going to do? Tell me."
The principal looked at Lan Shuang in surprise. The relationship between this brother and sister is really good.
Lan Shuang thought for a moment and said seriously, "Principal, this incident has had a very negative impact on me and has also affected my privacy. They took photos without my consent and spread rumors online. This is an illegal and infringing act. I'm going to report this to the police and will not accept a private settlement."
The principal was stunned for a moment, then frowned. "This... Lan Shuang, do you want to think about it again? If you call the police, this matter will become a big deal, and the impact on you will probably be very bad."
This is indeed the truth. Calling the police can indeed handle the problem, but people's words are scary. Some people, even though they know that she is not at fault, will still look at her with tinted glasses and always think that the victim is guilty.
Therefore, the principal selfishly hopes to resolve the issue privately.
But Lan Shuang didn't care about this. The original owner went crazy because he had suffered too much injustice. Sometimes people have to take risks.
"Principal, I disagree with you. I was taught from a young age that when my rights, reputation, property, or life are threatened, I must bravely take up legal action to protect myself. I chose to call the police not only to seek justice for myself, but also to serve as a warning to those with ill intentions. Every action will be punished."
"If I just let this matter go unsolved because of a few words from others, more people will be left unaware of the truth, and my reputation will be damaged as well."
Lan Shuang's clear and well-reasoned rebuttal left the principal speechless.
Lao Tie stood up and said to Lan Shuang with satisfaction: "Teacher also supports you."
"Principal, we are a school, a place for teaching and educating people. We must set an example for our students in terms of rigor and fairness, teaching them by words and deeds. This is exactly what we should do. Otherwise, who will believe in the law and justice in the future?"
"Principal, you should know what's more important."
Lao Tie said solemnly, "The school's century-old tradition of integrity cannot be destroyed by one person."
The principal was stunned when he heard him say that. After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. Call Zhang Ming over."
…
News always spreads quickly among students. As soon as Lan Shuang and Lao Tie entered the principal's office, the entire second grade was alarmed. They had no intention of attending classes and kept glancing at the corridor to see if there was any new news.
The students in Class 2 were even more nervous. Cui Hao stood at the back door and glanced outside from time to time. This class was Lao Tie's class, but he didn't come, so everyone went to study on their own.
But now it has changed to eating melons.
"Why haven't you come back yet? Tsk, there's no news... Hey——"
Cui Hao was muttering while wandering around the back door when he suddenly saw the dean coming towards him from the other side of the corridor with a menacing look on his face.
He stood up straight with a start, pulled out the seat in front and sat down. However, the dean did not come to Class 2. He stopped at the front door of Class 3, knocked on the door and called out, "Teacher Zhang, come here."
