Chapter 513: The School Bully Alpha Gets Sanctioned Again! 18

La Tiao had the strongest reaction; it seemed that whenever this Omega was brought up, he became especially jumpy.

Several people started arguing again in the office, seeming about to come to blows.

Director Hu was fuming, smacking the teaching stick on the desk a few times, "Shut up, all of you!"

"We should talk things out properly instead of fighting—you know fighting solves nothing, right?"

"What on earth is making you all so worked up?"

Zhou Fangshu glanced at Jiang Xun, the corner of his mouth twitching with smugness, which he quickly concealed.

"Just as I said before, Jiang Xun deceived the Omega's feelings, brought people to fight, and left someone in a vegetative state. If you don't believe me, Teacher, you can ask Jiang Xun yourself."

Director Hu grunted, "So why are you bringing this up now? It didn't even happen at school."

After years as Director of Discipline, he could see some students' thoughts at a glance.

He wasn't oblivious to what Zhou Fangshu was thinking.

"I… I just think we shouldn't let the perpetrator, Jiang Xun, get away scot‑free."

Zhou Fangshu hadn't expected Director Hu to ask that; feeling he was being biased, he instantly felt unsettled.

"Teacher, are you trying to help Jiang Xun cover this up?"

Jiang Xun snorted contemptuously, his gaze fixed on him, menacing.

"If you don't like me going to the police, see whether they'll listen to you—whether I've committed a crime is up to you to say."

"I…" Zhou Fangshu wanted to rebut, but Jiang Xun cut him off.

"Do you think I can even buy off the police?"

Jiang Xun finally understood why Zhou Fangshu resented the wealthy.

His anger stemmed from Zhou Fangshu, an outsider who knew nothing about the matter, trying to use it to ruin his reputation.

The harm wasn't just to him; Shen Can, still lying in the hospital bed, was hurt too.

The irritation and impatience between his brows grew more obvious, and Jiang Xun felt his fists itch again.

"Zhou Fangshu, do you really think I can't handle you just because you're an Omega?"

Zhou Fangshu also had a stubborn temperament; although he was already starting to panic inside, he still held his chin high to bolster himself.

"You're just relying on… Ah!"

Jiang Xun slammed a heavy punch into his shoulder; Director Hu couldn't even stop him in time, and Zhou Fangshu's whole body fell backward with no cushion, his lower back striking the desk's sharp corner.

The pain kept him from straightening his waist for a while; Tears already fell in a patter.

"Jiang Xun! You're a maniac!"

"Jiang Xun! Can't you calm down? Can't we just talk nicely?"

Director Hu also intended to teach Jiang Xun a lesson for his obliviousness, raising the teaching stick to strike his arm.

But Jiang Xun, in a high‑alert state, instinctively grabbed the teaching stick; his menacing gaze made Director Hu's heart shudder.

Xue Yuan took a deep breath, ready to step forward and stop the person.

"Anything can be talked about! Jiang bro can't really hit Old Hu, ah!"

Knock knock knock—

The knocking interrupted the noise in the office.

"Principal!!"

Director Hu looked at the newcomer, all surprised; the anger he'd just had was washed away by doubt, leaving no trace.

How could he come himself!

"I heard something big happened here, so I came to check."

The principal was a stern middle‑aged man; his suit was proper and elegant, the gaze behind his gold‑rimmed glasses slightly dangerous. When his eyes swept over Zhou Fangshu, he couldn't help feeling a urge to retreat.

Still feeling the pain, Zhou Fangshu thought that the principal's arrival was fine; the bigger the fuss, the better for him.

Jiang Xun's gaze, however, only saw Jin Chen following behind the principal.

He hadn't wanted to drag Jin Chen into this, but it seemed he'd messed up again.

Jin Chen immediately stood beside him, noticing the teenager's hand joints red and swollen with abrasions, and knew it was from fighting.

He spoke without any blame: "Does it hurt?"

His voice was warm and cool, with a youthful huskiness that instantly dispelled half of Jiang Xun's anger and irritation.

He pursed his lips, instinctively leaning toward that person, catching a faint scent of sandalwood before replying, "A little sore, but not much."

This demeanor made it seem as if the person who had almost started a fight in the office moments ago wasn't him.

"It'll be settled soon."

Jin Chen still didn't press him for what happened, merely soothing him and gesturing for him to look at the already‑seated principal.

"It's not only Zhou Fangshu who can call for backup."

"I already understand today's matter; since it didn't happen at school, don't talk about it here, or you'll almost make Jiang student lose control."

The principal's tone was official; though it seemed he was mediating, every sentence actually backed Jiang Xun.

This left Director Hu and Zhou Fangshu greatly shocked.

Even the three lackeys who had braced themselves for a scolding were stunned.

This is the principal of Sheng Feng, after all; it's said he's a notable figure in Didu, and even their families give him some face, which is why they send so many rich kids to study here.

Zhou Fangshu clearly hadn't expected this turn of events.

"But Jiang Xun is a student of Sheng Feng—why can't we just ignore it?"

"You can go straight to the police; otherwise, don't try to turn the school into your public‑opinion arena."

The principal's eyes held no warmth: "This student, this matter happened years ago; bringing it up now really makes us doubt your motive."

"I… I have no other motive," Zhou Fangshu clenched his hands, finally feeling a bit afraid, "Shen Can and I are close friends; watching him lie in the hospital unable even to open his eyes makes me feel it's unjust for him."

Xue Yuan and Lu Renjia gripped La Tiao's shoulders tightly; Jiang Xun had already gone mad, and they couldn't let La Tiao lose his sanity as well.

Jiang Xun shouted sternly, "If you were truly his good friend, you wouldn't twist the truth like that."

"All right, all right, this matter ends here, classmate Zhou Fangshu—you should go home and rest properly these days; don't wind your nerves too tight."

Although the principal was smiling, his aura still managed to be intimidating for no reason.

Zhou Fangshu was completely stunned.

How did things come to this?

He failed to ruin Jiang Xun's reputation at school, yet he got punched for nothing… and now he's even being urged to go home and rest.

Director Hu also thought the punishment was a bit too much, saying, "Principal… don't you think we shouldn't make Zhou Fangshu go home? The child's studies are still more important."

"I have another meeting, so I won't stay longer, Director Hu—handle things more decisively from now on."

The principal acted as if he hadn't heard that remark, set down his teacup, and prepared to get up and leave.

As he passed Jin Chen, he also glanced at his expression.

Jin Chen gave a slight nod, quite satisfied with the handling.

No one noticed their interaction, except Jiang Xun, who was beside Jin Chen.

His eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't say anything more.
