An Xiaxia hadn’t fully recovered and she hadn’t been eating well in the past few days. Her small face was pale and her chin had apparently gotten skinnier.
Even now, she could still feel the pain in the bones of her left hand as well as the injuries all over her body which were definitely no less severe than Jian Xin’er’s light wound.
However, not one person was willing to ask her if she had been bullied or not.
There was also no one willing to investigate the truth and figure out what really led to Jian Xin’er’s wound.
Her eyes were filled with tears, but she desperately fought to not let a single drop fall.
An Xiaxia took a deep breath before she continued, “That’s great. Because actually, I don’t even want to stay at this lousy school anymore. What a bunch of so-called heirs and heiresses… a bunch of teachers and leaders who don’t know right from wrong… You don’t need to kick me out, because I volunteer to drop out!”
“Hmph!” Mother Jian rolled her eyes while Jian Xin’er’s smiled sarcastically. Ding Yiyi grasped the hem of her clothes uneasily.
The principal’s expression was terrifyingly grim as he pointed at An Xiaxia. “You don’t need to attend today’s classes. Go get the paperwork done! Right this moment!”
An Xiaxia couldn’t control herself anymore and wiped her tears with her sleeve. She stubbornly didn’t say anything else before she headed toward the door.
She opened the door just in time to run into a tall man’s arms.
An Xiaxia let out more tears from the pain and when she raised her head, she looked into the eyes of an elite male who wore glasses and had an expression as icy cold as a snowy mountain. An Xiaxia was dumbfounded.
Why was he here…
The man adjusted his frameless glasses. He wore a dark-colored suit with a tie neatly wrapped around the collar. His handsome face was expressionless. He adjusted his glasses again and smirked. “So, Qixia High is actually such a shady school. It seems the education system has failed in their supervision.”
“Who are you? Who gave you permission to come into the principal’s office?!” The dean demanded unhappily.
The man ignored this and glanced down at An Xiaxia as he asked in a deep and low voice, “Where did you get hurt?”
The aura he emitted was so overpowering that An Xiaxia surrendered obediently before she realized it. “My hand… and several other places. Anyway, I’m definitely more wounded than she is!” she said as she pointed at the small wound on Jian Xin’er’s arm.
The man adjusted his glasses again and spoke in a cold voice. “You have violated Article 234 of the Criminal Law: intentional assault; Article 246: defamation; Article 293: defiance, as well as the laws of public order and security administration, civil law, and the education act… Miss Jian, is it? Do you know your actions are enough to put you in jail for a very long time?”
Mother Jian snorted in contempt. “Where did this psycho come from? Who does he think he is? Moreover, my Xin’er is a minor. How can she go to jail?!”
The man laughed grimly. “Ignorance is really a terrible thing… According to the provision in Chinese law, sixteen years of age is old enough to be convicted under criminal charges! Harming others at such an age – the court will punish the offender as they see fit! Criminal proceedings follow the law of state prosecution and the prosecutors will file for a public prosecution with the court on behalf of the country!”
Once he finished speaking, a hush fell over the entire room.
The principal asked in a shaky voice, “Who on earth are you?”
“You’re the principal?” The man narrowed his eyes and his smile became even icier. “I would like to ask, when this incident of school violence happened, did the school take proper measures and provide guidance? Did the school carry out its obligatory duties of supervision and regulation?”
The principal closed his mouth and continued to stay silent.
“You all want my Xiaxia to drop out, right? Fine, we’ll see you in court! I might have little talent, but what I do have is time and I’m willing to waste it on everyone here!” The man then put his grim expression back on. “Oh, I’ve forgotten to introduce myself. I’m An Yibei of Thousand Island Law Firm!”
