Chapter 14 - 12 [Of Course Forgive Him]
Chapter Twelve
Liu Ang was facing the biggest crisis of his working career.
He felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, as if thorns pricked his back, as if a fishbone was stuck in his throat.
After four days of deceitful maneuvering, diverting attention left and right, the truth could no longer be concealed.
Just an hour ago, the leader of the delegation finally noticed that something was amiss.
During the final group mingling activity with Yucai School, which by the rules required full attendance, there was consistently one empty seat on the Jiangning No.8 Middle School’s side.
Initially, Worker Liu attempted to cover it up. However, after the leading teacher asked a few more times and noticed that Worker Liu’s demeanor was increasingly off, the issue was scrutinized, and the cat was out of the bag!
A student was missing!
Then ensued a scene of utter chaos.
Worker Liu was now facing the student leader of the exchange group, Teacher Wu, a senior teacher from the school’s academic affairs department.
However, the one who exerted the greatest pressure on Worker Liu was the head of the exchange group, the assistant to the school principal.
This assistant principal, surnamed Fang, was like most leaders of this era, with a swept-back hairdo and a jacket, speaking in a forceful and imposing manner. Moreover, in the bureaucratic administrative system, the role of an assistant principal is essentially equivalent to that of a vice principal. This Mr. Fang, the assistant principal, was respectfully addressed as Principal Fang by everyone at school—this was the protocol.
