Cai Zhe and Zhang Kaile looked at each other and both panicked instantly.
Director Qiu must have found out about yesterday's fight.
Cai Zhe quickly accused Yun Nuan and the others, "Director Qiu, this is none of our fault. They were the ones who started it. We were getting ready to go home after school when these little brats came up and beat us up."
Zhang Kaile stretched out his pig-headed face in front of Qiu Lei and said, "Director Qiu, look, they hit my face like this. In order to prevent people from thinking that I am bullying the weak, I didn't fight back!"
Seeing that they were the first to complain, Yun Nuan retorted indignantly: "Director Qiu, it's not true. It was them who bullied Yao——"
"What are you bullying? You are the ones bullying us!" Cai Zhe was afraid that Yun Nuan would tell the truth, so he interrupted her hurriedly.
Yun Nuan already had a slight stutter, and when she was anxious, her speech became even more incoherent. She stamped her feet in anxiety, and held Situ Yao's hand tightly with her little hand, wanting her to help quickly.
Situ Yao understood and quickly rolled up her sleeves. "Director Qiu, look, they led me to the back mountain and tied me to a tree. If Xiao Mo hadn't come to rescue me, I would have starved to death in the woods last night."
Qiu Lei took a quick glance and saw several shocking marks on Situ Yao's arm.
Immediately, he glared at Cai Zhe and Zhang Kaile with a righteous look: "Explain?"
Zhang Kaile winked at Cai Zhe, wanting him not to admit it, but Cai Zhe, this coward, was so scared that he confessed everything.
"Director Qiu, we know we were wrong. Please don't tell my aunt."
When Cai Zhe was very young, his parents divorced and he changed his surname to his mother's. Since his mother had no time to take care of him, he went to his aunt Cai Li's house to eat and live.
Cai Li treated Cai Zhe like a half-son and was extremely strict with him. In Cai Zhe's heart, Cai Li's authority was unquestionable.
Qiu Lei scolded him harshly, "You tied someone up in the woods on the back mountain for a whole day. Do you think you're treating school discipline like a piece of cake? There are snakes, ants, and mosquitoes aplenty in there. If you're not careful, Situ Yao will be in danger! You're so disregarding of other people's lives and safety that you deserve expulsion!"
Cai Zhe panicked instantly: "Director, Director, please forgive us this time! I won't dare to do it again next time!"
His aunt had worked so hard to get him into the Ailige School for Geniuses. If he was expelled, it would definitely hurt his aunt's reputation.
Qiu Lei was indifferent to Cai Zhe's pleas for mercy. He said coldly, "I will write the application materials to Principal Jin now and ask him to sign to expel you."
Zhang Kaile was happy to see that Director Qiu was serious about this. His mind shifted and his gaze fell on Situ Yao.
He hurriedly apologized to Situ Yao: "Student Situ Yao, I'm sorry, I was wrong. I sincerely ask for your forgiveness. Please speak well of us. We can't be expelled!"
Seeing this, Cai Zhe also came to Situ Yao and begged: "Xiaoyao, I was wrong, I was really wrong. For the sake of our relationship, please help me. If I get fired, my aunt will definitely go crazy, and then life will be difficult for you and your uncle..."
Hearing these veiled threats, Situ Yao wavered.
Cai Li, the old witch, felt very sorry for Cai Zhe. When Cai Zhe was fired, Cai Li would definitely vent her anger on her and scold her for being ungrateful and heartless.
With her original qualifications, she couldn't even get into the Ailige Academy for Geniuses. She was able to enter the academy to study because her father Situ Qin persuaded Cai Li, and Cai Li gave her the opportunity to interview at the academy.
For this, Situ Yao was grateful to her.
If she hadn't come here to study, she wouldn't have met Yun Nuan, let alone this group of friends.
"Director Qiu, I accept their apology. Please don't fire them."
