Chapter 937: Childhood Days 31

In the crowd on the playground, some people could no longer stand.

Chu Han started exerting force again, pinching his thigh hard, wiping away tears as he rushed onto the speaking platform, waving his arms to draw everyone's attention.

"Teacher!" he shouted at the Director, "Do you know why Song Xu had a medical episode?"

Director of Discipline: "……"

He worriedly rubbed his bald head, "What's the point? Could it be that the pressure's been too high lately?"

"That's not it!"

Chu Han tried to treat everyone below the stage as mere cabbage, so he wouldn't lose his composure, and he continued to shout into the microphone.

"It's because the recent rumors have angered him!"

Chu Han curled his toes into the ground, looking sorrowful on the surface, "How old are Song Xu and Mu Henian?! To be rumored about an engagement……"

"Those spreading the rumors, don't your consciences hurt?"

How embarrassing!!!!

I can't keep acting like this, really!

Chu Han let out a deep sigh, his hand holding the microphone trembling.

Five thousand… Mu Haohan had promised him! After it's done, he'll give five thousand! Don't be embarrassed!

His emotions suddenly erupted.

"Song Xu's heart is in danger; he can't take stimulation. If you keep spreading rumors and something happens to him today…… what are we supposed to do?"

The students from first to third year on the playground were all startled by him.

The Director of Discipline had a headache, and personally went to bring Chu Han down.

"Student, don't get agitated; the teachers will quickly catch the rumor-spreaders."

Chu Han's legs were shaking, "Benefactor! He's basically been pulled down!"

"No, no, Teacher, maybe if something happens to Song Xu, his parents will come over!"

He deliberately amplified the word "parents" so they could hear it.

Then some people felt even more guilty, completely unaware of why things had turned out this way.

Chu Han finally achieved his goal, asked the homeroom teacher for leave to visit Song Xu, and after getting permission, he sprinted off the school grounds.

The top floor of the hospital, Song Xu's usual ward.

At first, the Dean was unwilling to cooperate.

After all, this hospital can be said to exist because Song Xu's father invested to give his son a safety net in Ming Cheng, and also donated various expensive medical equipment.

Could one refuse that? No.

Four people were leisurely eating breakfast in the ward, they had also prepared a portion for Chu Han, and not long after, Chu Han brought good news.

"That's awesome! Lots of people on the playground were panicking! They must all be guilty!"

Having just washed off the foundation on his face, Song Xu turned his head and rubbed against Jin Chen's chest until the water stains were gone.

"Did the foster father agree?" Song Xu asked.

"He agreed, and our mom is going too."

Jin Chen put down his phone, rubbed his ears, "Ms. Liu Ou purposely came over from the company, stating she would definitely ferret out the rumor-spreaders."

As for Ms. Liu Ou's efficiency, Jin Chen has always admired it.

Mu Henian: "My lawyer has already arrived outside the school gate; he'll cooperate with Uncle Jin when the time comes."

Chu Han bit into a chicken roll, sighing in admiration, "This method is too ruthless; unless you're part of Brother Chen's family, you couldn't pull off this plan."

Cheng Huai, who proposed the plan, nodded in agreement and tossed a chicken popcorn into his mouth, "I never realized Chu Han was this talented; it's a shame not to develop him in the entertainment industry."

Chu Han chuckled twice, "I was just bending over for five thousand."

Jin Chen pinched Song Xu's fresh face, "I'll go later too; Xiao Yu'er, go home and wait for the good news."

"Then Brother promised me not to act impulsively,"

But Song Xu knows Jin Chen's temperament well; this matter also involves the four of them, so even if it's an act, when the source is dug out, he'll probably really lose his temper.

Jin Chen: "What's Xiao Yu'er's definition of impulsive?"

"Don't fight." Song Xu looked up at him.

"... Alright." Jin Chen sincerely promised.

Mu Henian won't let such a good opportunity to be spiteful pass: "If his brains are in his fists and you don't let him fight, that's just too difficult."

Jin Chen: "……"

——

Because the rumor incident had a huge impact and even sent the rumored-to-be victim to the hospital, the school attached great importance to it and held an all-school faculty and student meeting that morning.

The Jin Shu family, accompanied by Mu Henian's lawyer, arrived at the school and headed straight to the conference hall.

The Director of Discipline speaking on stage hurriedly rose to greet them.

"Hello Director, we are Jin Chen's parents, and also Song Xu's parents."

Ms. Liu Ou shook hands with the Director of Discipline, but there wasn't much smile on her face.

Jin Shu, on the other hand, smiled like a smiling tiger.

"And who is this……?"

The Director of Discipline turned his gaze to the suited man behind him, truly afraid he would say he was Mu Henian's parent.

"Hello, I am the lawyer of the Mu Clan Group, commissioned by the young master to investigate and clarify the school rumor incident."

Director of Discipline: "……"

How did it come to this!

The speaking platforms all have built-in central amplifiers, so the conversation of those few people was heard clearly downstairs.

Some people were already feeling guilty, and seeing the parents arrive with a lawyer made them even more bewildered.

Already several people couldn't sit still, looking around in their seats as if searching for someone.

Jin Chen observed from above, finally fixing his gaze on several people, then suddenly turned and said, "Director of Discipline, we're all classmates, we usually have no grudges; maybe those spreading the rumors were misled."

Why not... let those students admit it themselves and we won't pursue it; but if anyone still refuses to admit, let's have the police get involved and file a lawsuit.

The Director of Discipline had just been thinking about this matter, saying, "The problem is that this spreads person to person, and there's no way to determine who originally started it."

Lawyer: "Usually in such cases, there are 5~10 varying transmission sources; they spread rumors in small groups or class units, making them easy to investigate."

As soon as those words were spoken, two male students immediately couldn't sit still and sprang up from their chairs.

"I... we admit it ourselves."

"Someone gave us money to spread this... I myself also don't know what engagement."

Back then we just thought it was a joke, yet we actually got money, never expecting it would cause such serious consequences.

Once one stood up, another followed, and soon several more students rose to their feet.

Jin Shu sternly rebuked, "At your age, you're already being controlled by money! Don't you need to study?"

Jin Chen sized up their expressions and then asked, "Who gave you the money? Do you remember?"

A male student said, "He wrapped himself up tightly, hardly showing his face, but from what I saw and from past observations, he should be someone from our school, and he finally walked toward the dormitory building."

Jin Chen nodded, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "In other words, there is still an instigator, but he now refuses to admit it."

He shrugged, stepped back a few steps until he was near the lawyer, and said, "I suggest reporting it to the police and filing a lawsuit."

The lawyer began to explain the consequences of spreading rumors, every word precious.

The Director of Discipline slammed the table hard.
