Chapter 149 Questioning the Principal
Hearing the principal say this, Lin Yilan sneered. Under normal circumstances, she would not have held on to the principal's apologetic words, but now was different from the past.
"Principal, if it were as simple as you say, I wouldn't be here today..." Lin Yilan paused and looked at the principal. Sure enough, beads of sweat formed on the principal's forehead, a clear sign of guilt.
"You know, the social event between the two schools has absolutely nothing to do with Huo Juncheng, yet you've repeatedly told me to invite Huo Juncheng. What's your reason?"
"That's because... because... I know you have a close relationship with Mr. Huo. Did you invite Mr. Huo to increase the popularity of this social event?"
"The principal is joking. Huo Juncheng is just a businessman. They're just bringing Huo Juncheng to a social event between the two schools to boost their popularity. This isn't a fundraising event, nor is it a commercial activity."
"this……"
Faced with Lin Yilan's questioning, the principal didn't know what to say for a moment. The brilliant answer he thought he had come up with was directly overturned by Lin Yilan.
Seeing this, Lin Yilan asked again without waiting for the principal to speak:
"There's one more thing. When Huo Juncheng and I came to you with those arrows, you kept saying it was a new method for training students. But is that really the case?"
"Of course."
"But why did this activity disappear after that? I also asked my students, and they didn't know about this school activity. Okay, even if you said it was to test students' reaction ability, so they didn't know about it beforehand. But..."
Lin Yilan said this, picked up an antique on the principal's desk, and played with it casually in her hand, but her eyes were on the principal, staring at him closely. Noticing that he was becoming more and more nervous, Lin Yilan curled her lips and smiled.
"But none of my students have ever encountered any sudden arrows or mousetraps in the bushes. It seems that only Huo Juncheng and I have encountered these things. It's as if this isn't a test of the students' reaction abilities, but rather that Huo Juncheng and I have the same reaction abilities... How do you explain this?"
"Maybe it's a coincidence."
The principal chuckled dryly, took a piece of paper from the tissue box on the table, and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "It's a bit hot today."
"Principal, the air conditioner in your office is 23 degrees Celsius, it's not hot at all." Chu Siran pointed at the air conditioner in the principal's office and winked at the principal playfully.
Seeing this, Lin Yilan had no interest in discussing the heat with the principal and continued with her previous question:
"And there's another interesting fact. You said you were training students' reflexes, but those sharp arrows are no joke. If they're not careful, a student could be dead... Not only would you be out of office as president, but the entire Haida University would be closed down, wouldn't it?"
"This...I was inconsiderate."
"Are you being inconsiderate again? If you're so inconsiderate about everything, I'm really curious about how you became the principal!"
Faced with the principal's pale explanation, Lin Yilan threw the antique in her hand to the ground. The delicate porcelain could not withstand such a toss and turned into powder.
The principal watched his beloved antique turn into powder in an instant and couldn't help but cry out, "Oh my precious!"
"Hehe, your baby? If you don't tell me, do you believe that I will make you become like it?" Lin Yilan looked at the principal who had lost his composure with a teasing look.
"Tell me! Who is the mastermind behind this? Why do you keep helping him?"
The principal looked at the antique lying on the ground that was broken beyond repair, then looked at Chu Siran who was smiling beside him, and finally shifted his gaze to Lin Yilan.
"I'm sorry, Madam Huo, this is all my fault. I shouldn't have helped those students frame Mr. Huo, but I really don't know who is behind this."
"No, why are you so stubborn, old man? It's already this time, and you're not going to confess?" Chu Siran, who was standing aside, couldn't stand it anymore and went berserk.
She didn't have Lin Yilan's patience, so she cursed directly at the principal.
"I really don't know who's behind this. I may be the president, but most of the students at Ocean University are second-generation rich, and I can't afford to offend any of them. It's wrong for me to be involved in this. I will voluntarily resign as president, but I really don't know what exactly happened."
Hearing the principal say this, Lin Yilan knew that the principal was probably not lying, but she was still a little disappointed that the clues from the principal were gone.
"But you can go to the police station and ask those students again. They're all wealthy second-generations from prominent families. Why would they feel bad about Mr. Huo? I don't really understand it, but you can definitely find out if you ask them. Besides, they've always lived a life of luxury. After spending a few days at the police station, they should be fine."
Lin Yilan glanced at the principal and heard what he said. She knew that if she wanted to find out the real culprit behind the scenes, she could only start with those students.
Chu Siran accompanied Lin Yilan to the police station. When the police saw Lin Yilan coming, they greeted her respectfully. "Mrs. Huo, you are here. Come, let's go to the reception room to talk."
Although many people called her "Mrs. Huo," Lin Yilan was still a little embarrassed. Facing the attentive police officer, she smiled shyly.
"How are those students doing lately?"
"Don't worry, Madam Huo. Although many families have used their connections to try to bail out their children, Mr. Huo has also specifically instructed that no one should be spared. That's why everyone is currently in the police detention center."
"Well, I'd like to ask them."
"this……"
Facing the police's hesitation, Lin Yilan suddenly felt puzzled, "Why, is it inconvenient?"
"Mrs. Huo, you don't know that after these students were sent to the police station, they initially appeared to have no problems at all. However, not long after, they began to convulse all over their bodies. In severe cases, they even foamed at the mouth. It was like..."
The policeman said this and observed Lin Yilan's expression. Seeing that Lin Yilan was waiting for his next words, he moved closer to Lin Yilan, whispered in her ear:
"That's like the symptoms of taking drugs."
"What? Impossible!"
When Lin Yilan heard the policeman say this, she jumped up from her seat. "Although some of them are a bit naughty, they wouldn't touch those things."
"Mrs. Huo, please don't get too excited. We just came up with this hypothesis. We originally thought they had eaten something they shouldn't have. As for whether it was because of that thing, we are not experts in these matters after all. However, we have already called the department responsible for this."
"Where are they now? I'm going to see them now."
After hearing Lin Yilan's request, the police officer said nothing more and respectfully took Lin Yilan to the place where they were being held. Because Lin Yilan and the police officer had just spoken in a low voice, Chu Siran only heard Lin Yilan's excited questioning later. As for what made Lin Yilan so excited, she had no idea.
