Chapter 194: Big Brother Has Arrived
Shen Xi looked sharply at the Director of Education and continued, "Sir, don’t you think your question is a little strange? For what other reason would Zheng Huai, a doctor employed by this school, see a patient recovering in one of the observation rooms?"
The Director of Education did not expect a student to speak so eloquently. He fished out his phone and showed Shen Xi the images posted on the forum, his words full of ridicule, "What do you have to say about these photos and videos, then? Zheng Huai covered your mouth. Why would he do something like that if you weren’t close? Why were you alone in a room with Guan Lei? Do you think we’re all fools?!"
"Sir, since you seem so interested, why don’t I answer those questions for you?" Zheng Huai said as he entered the principal’s office, sporting an unfriendly look.
Principal Li felt like his head was about to explode when Zheng Huai made his entrance. To avoid being put in a difficult position by either Zheng Huai or Guan Lei, he had chosen to remain silent, watching the interrogation unfold without saying a word.
Zheng Huai had warned him not to reveal his and Shen Xi’s relationship, so the Director of Education was unaware they were cousins.
"Oh? Is Doctor Zheng here to salvage the situation?" The Director asked.
Zheng Huai wore his white doctor’s coat and casually sat on the sofa. He shot the Director a pointed look and said, "I wouldn’t call me being here a means to salvage the situation. After all, I am one of the parties implicated. One can’t help but wonder what your intentions are since neither Guan Lei nor I was called to this meeting. Perhaps you did not dare to cause us trouble, so you hoped to push the blame onto the young female student who does not possess the power or influence we wield. All you know how to do is bully the weak and run with your tailed tucked between your legs before those truly powerful. You really do hold us in contempt, don’t you?"
The Director of Education flushed and raised his voice, "Zheng Huai, you won’t give me face but expect to receive it in spades. If it weren’t for you being a doctor at this school, I’m sure the public would have branded your actions as wholly inappropriate. The school would even face an inquiry over the mismanagement of our staff."
