Jiang Yi was not sure what Gu Qingchen was up to. He felt that Gu Qingchen was very mysterious and hard to understand.

Gu Qingchen glanced at Jiang Yi and continued to ask, “It wasn’t you. Why did you admit that you did it? Do you know who drugged Guo Yuxuan?”

Jiang Yi’s heart was in his throat. He did not understand the current situation, but he felt that the atmosphere was too strange. He wanted to stop Lu Xiaochuan, but there was nothing he could do.

Lu Xiaochuan spoke again with difficulty, “I don’t know who drugged him. The reason I admitted that I drugged him was because Director Jiang came to me and forced me to admit it.”

Boom!

What?

Director Jiang?

Other than Director Jiang Yi, it didn’t seem to be a second Director Jiang in Hongfeng.

Everyone looked at Jiang Yi, and Jiang Yi’s face instantly frozen. How could Jiang Yi be calm when he was being stared at by his colleagues and the principal.

“Lu Xiaochuan, don’t spout nonsense. It was clearly you admitted that you had a grudge with Guo Yuxuan, so you drugged him. You just wanted to vent your anger, so why are you slandering me instead. Lu Xiaochuan, tell me, did someone force you to say that? If someone really did that, all the teachers in Hongfeng would stand up for you. But if you slander me today, I won’t let it go so easily!”

Jiang Yi said in a half-seductive and half-threatening tone. If Lu Xiaochuan had a brain, he would definitely know what to do. His family’s future was in his hands. He didn’t believe that Lu Xiaochuan wouldn’t understand his threats.

Unfortunately, Lu Xiaochuan did not seem to have heard Jiang Yi’s words at all. He did not change his words.

Gu Qingchen sneered and continued to ask, “Lu Xiaochuan, you said that Director Jiang Yi forced you to admit it. How did he force you? Why are you afraid of him?”

When Lu Xiaochuan heard this, he was actually a little angry. His tone rose a few degrees, “My family owes money to the Jiang family. Director Jiang said that as long as I admit that I drugged Guo Yuxuan, he won’t force my father to pay back the money. If I don’t admit it, he will sue my father until my father goes to jail! I can only choose to admit it. I don’t want my father to be forced to death. Compared to losing the opportunity to study at Hongfeng, I’m more afraid of losing my father, so…”

Lu Xiaochuan didn’t say the rest of the sentence, but all the teachers understood. So that was the truth.

When Principal Lu heard this, he was furious. His Hongfeng had always wanted to be the cradle of the students, not the executioner who forced the students.

He didn’t expect that Jiang Yi, who was also a respected teacher of Hongfeng, would actually do such a thing to the students. He simply couldn’t bear it.

“Jiang Yi, what is going on? Did you threaten Lu Xiaochuan?”

Principal Lu was usually more approachable, but when he was angry, he could be very initimidating. Jiang Yi was really shocked.

“Principal, this student is simply spouting nonsense. It’s baffling. He was clearly the one who came to me and took the initiative to admit his mistake. But after coming here, he kept contracting his words. His words cannot be trusted.”

Jiang Yi was very regretful now. He thought that he had already grasped Lu Xiaochuan’s lifeline. He did not expect Lu Xiaochuan to betray him at this time and catch him off guard.

“Principal Lu, I think this Lu Xiaochuan is very unreliable. It seems that what he said before about drugging Guo Yuxuan may not be true. We still need to reinvestigate.”

At this time, Jiang Yi could only say such righteous words to prove his innocence. It made people think that he had no selfish motives. Otherwise, his reputation would be ruined.

For a moment, the teachers could not figure out whether Lu Xiaochuan was lying, or Jiang Yi was lying.

However, Principal Lu knew very well that the person who lied was most likely Jiang Yi.

When Gu Qingchen came to him previously, she said that she had a kind of medicinal powder in her hands. After giving it to someone, they would unconsciously tell the truth. Principal Lu was also a knowledgeable person and knew that the medicine that Gu Qingchen mentioned existed. However, he felt that this method was a little unethical. As the principal, it was a little unethical for him to use this method.

If this were to spread, it would not be good for his and Hongfeng’s reputation. Therefore, when Gu Qingchen suggested this, he did not immediately agree. He only said that he would consider it. As a result, today’s incident happened.

Gu Qingchen had also said that she would be in charge of everything, so she did not stop Gu Qingchen. However, she did not expect to hear such a shocking inside story from Lu Xiaochuan.

He trusted Director Jiang Yi very much. It could be said that the people of Hongfeng had a kind of pride, thinking that their own people would not do such dirty things. But now, Jiang Yi was simply slapping his face and smearing Hongfeng’s name.

After Jiang Yi finished speaking, the surrounding people were silent for a long time. No one answered, and the atmosphere was very awkward.

After a long while, Gu Qingchen laughed softly, “Director Jiang, you brought this person here. He admitted that he was the one who drugged Guo Yuxuan. You believed him and didn’t look for any evidence. Now that he denied it and pointed out that you were the one who coerced him, you said that Lu Xiaochuan couldn’t be trusted. It seems like you’re the one who decide what’s wrong and right. You don’t need any evidence at all. All you need to do is to judge. You’re very fair.”

His words were full of sarcasm and a direct slap to Jiang Yi’s face.

Even though Jiang Yi had honed his thick skin, he still felt a fever on his face as he stood there. He wished that he could find a hole to hide in.

“You… Gu Qingchen, don’t go too far. No matter what, I am still your teacher and the director of Hongfeng. It is not your place to tell me what to do!”

Jiang Yi was furious. He had already wanted to get close to Gu Qingchen and stop targeting Gu Qingchen. He did not expect Gu Qingchen to be so unappreciative and insist on going against him.

“Gu Qingchen is a student of our Hongfeng. She has the right to question those teachers who have bad manners! Director Jiang Yi, you are very suspicious right now. You should not be the director of the student affairs office for the time being until you can prove your innocence. Of course, if you have something to do with this incident, even if you have served Hongfeng for a long time, I will not tolerate your vicious action!”

Principal Lu shouted. His tone was unquestionable, and he immediately removed Director Jiang Yi from his position.

Jiang Yi suddenly felt something blocking his chest. It was so stuffy that he felt extremely uncomfortable. He had been in Hongfeng for so many years, and it was not easy for him to become a director. Yet, he was actually lost to Gu Qingchen in just a few words. He was unwilling to accept this.

“Mr. Meng, Mr. Lin, go and investigate if Lu Xiaochuan is telling the truth and if his family was in debt with the Jiang family. Ms. Qin, Ms. Liu, bring some teachers to the nearby pharmacies to check if anyone has bought Senna grass in the pharmacies recently.”

Principal Lu quickly assigned the tasks. Jiang Yi’s face turned pale. If someone really went to investigate the Senna grass, he might not be able to hide it anymore.
