Chapter 119.2: The Research Fanatic Who Lost His Child (5)
Lin Shiheng looked worriedly at his wife and son, who were crying and stepped forward to go in.
“Seeing that you still have to work, we won’t bother you. We’ll go in and find the Headmaster to decide on this.”
“Wait! Wait, Sir! This is a school. Unrelated people can’t come in!”
When the guard, who felt a little guilty before, saw that Lin Shiheng looked like he was going in to ask the Headmaster for an explanation, he hastily held out his hand to stop him.
“My child is in conflict with a student and guard in front of the school right now, and you’re saying we’re unrelated people?”Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Lin Shiheng didn’t have the slightest intention of giving in. With a sharp look in his eyes, he coldly said, “Fine, if you don’t let us in, you can always lead us in, right?”
When he said so, the guard was still reluctant to move. With a livid face, he made up his mind to prevent the other party from entering the school.
Lin Shiheng simply took out his phone and dialled a number.
“Xiao Liu, it’s me. I wanted to ask you. Last time, you said that you would try to meet all my requests, right? I want to see the Headmaster of the No.l
Secondary School in my city right now. Yes, I’ll text you a short version of what happened.”
Zou Le, who had been dumbfounded when Lin Shiheng made the call, was blank-faced. Even if she could scam Wang Xuan’s money without even blinking and then scheme against him, she was still just a student right now. There was no such thing as a student who wasn’t afraid of a teacher, especially when the other party was looking for the Headmaster.
She didn’t know what to do at the moment and could only pray in her heart.
She had heard that the Headmaster was very busy. Their school was so big and had always been number one in the city, and this man wasn’t a parent of a student at their school. How could he see the Headmaster whenever he wanted to?
He must be putting on a show to scare people, he must be.
Even the guard had the same idea as she did. Their school was very famous, the Headmaster certainly wasn’t a nobody. How could an outsider say that he would see the Headmaster just like that?
However, the moment after those thoughts were raised, Lin Shiheng said, “Okay, please tell him to call me at this number.”
Zou Le’s face stiffened as she watched the other party respond with a few words and hang up the phone.
When Lin Shiheng typed in the text message, the lively students who were watching, the guard who tried to minimise the matter, and the surrounding area, everyone had fallen silent. All that was left was Zhou Chuchu, who was clinging to her child as if he would run away if she released her grip, crying as she did so.
No more than 2 minutes after he hung up the phone, the phone rang.
The elegant man picked up, “Hello, we’re at the school gate right now. Your school guard is stopping us from entering. Okay.”
Lin Shiheng handed the phone to the grimacing guard, “The Headmaster wants to talk to you.”
The guard heavily exhaled and picked up the phone. A familiar voice came out of it.
The Headmaster was scolding with suppressed rage, “What’s wrong with you?! How did you upset Professor Lin?”
A strong sense of survival made the guard quickly look at the frightened and pale Zou Le, he awkwardly said, “Headmaster, a female student said that the boy... Professor Lin’s son... was harassing her, and I stepped in to help.”
“Yes, yes. I’ll bring them to you right away.”
Handing the phone back to Lin Shiheng, the guard gave him a complicated look and then looked at Zou Le, who was already trembling in fear.
“Miss, please come with us to the Headmaster’s office.”
“I’m not going!”
Zou Le thoughtlessly refused in a sharp tone, “It has nothing to do with me, this mute is the one who’s insisting on pestering me. I don’t know him at all! I’m going home, and I have to go to cram school. I’m not going with you!”
The guard, who had previously been rude to Wang Xuan, didn’t know what to do about Zou Le.
“Coupled with the ones at the side of the road, do you suppose any of the cameras could have captured footage of you and someone you claim you don’t know in one frame?”
The pretty schoolgirl’s face gradually turned paler.
She had never really noticed that before. Each time, she only thought about hiding from people’s eyes, but it never occurred to her that she had to avoid the cameras.
No, it can’t be that bad a coincidence.
Zou Le kept mentally reassuring himself, but her mind was scouring the various surveillance cameras that she had inadvertently seen before. However, they were hidden deep in her memory because she didn’t really care.
It seemed that only a while ago, she heard her father say that the government had taken a new initiative, replacing the broken surveillance cameras with new ones, and this time, they could rotate and record.
Should she happen to be filmed while talking to Wang Xuan...
Lin Shiheng looked at her frightened look, still with a cold smile on his face.
“Miss, ask your parents to come to the police station.”
“Or perhaps, you want the police to inform them?”
There was no need for the police to pull up the street surveillance at all. When the police officers arrived, they checked the school’s surveillance and one of the surveillance cameras captured Wang Xuan handing over a pile of money and Zou Le, who took it with a smile.
There were students who were afraid that their parents would scold them if they came home late, but there were also students who weren’t afraid of being scolded for watching the commotion. When they saw that the police officers had arrived, they were so excited that they wouldn’t leave, carrying their school bags around.
The Headmaster, who had been waiting in the Headmaster’s office, was informed of the mess and hurried over, trying to shoo the students away. Some cheeky ones, however, scattered as he hastily coaxed them away, and regrouped when he went inside.
The surveillance was accessible in the janitor’s room, and naturally, they wanted to watch it in the janitor’s room. Who made windows transparent in the janitor’s room? Just as the Headmaster closed the door behind him, some daring students peeked inside through the window.
“Saw it, saw it!!! It looks like they found the surveillance footage of Zou Le meeting with that little mute!”
“That’s money, isn’t it?!”
“Can’t see clearly, eh eh zoom in!!!”
After seeing a close-up of the money on the screen through the glass, the group of students gasped in shock.
“Wow -“
“So much money!!”
“It’s got to be 10,000 yuan, right?!”
“How? Look at the thickness... that’s 30,000 for sure! The little mute is pretty rich!”
“Just look at his parents who drove here. How could they not be rich?!”
“But why is he still setting up a stall if he’s so rich?”
“Who knows? Maybe it’s just like in those TV dramas when a young master runs away to fend for himself.”
“He’s been setting up his stall for so long. That’s a long time to be away from home.”
“What do you care? Look, Zou Le is crying!!”
Zou Le was indeed crying. Her face was full of tears, and her pretty face looked pitiful, a look that would have softened anyone’s heart if they had seen it earlier. However, none of the people in the room felt sorry for Zou Le.
How could she be so vicious at such a young age?
She scammed people out of so much money and could still just pretend that she didn’t know them. The victim was a mute person too.
