Chapter 815: The Hemp Rope Always Breaks at the Thinnest Point!

~7 min read 1,376 words

Tang Ye and Xing Zhijun exchanged a glance.

Following behind the little boy, they walked toward the back of the school's teaching building.

Walking to a secluded corner, the little boy pointed ahead and said:

"This is the school's back gate; Zhang Qian comes here every noon.

Many classmates in the class have misunderstandings about her. Actually, she doesn't like eating leftovers; she saves her own lunch to leave for her mother to eat."

Hearing this, Tang Ye and Xing Zhijun's bodies trembled simultaneously, and the two exchanged a glance, a trace of unspeakable bitterness flowing in their eyes.

Looking in the direction the little boy pointed, one could see from afar a thin, small girl squatting on the inner side of the iron gate.

And on the outer side of the iron gate stood a gaunt woman with a sallow complexion, holding a bowl of rice and vegetables, eating ravenously.

Halfway through eating, she seemed to choke, and a whimpering sound came from her throat.

The little girl hurriedly leaned toward the iron gate, urging her in a well-behaved voice tinged with heartache: "Mom, today's rice is a bit hard, eat slowly, don't choke."

Watching this scene!

Tang Ye's heart was strong and resilient, but at this moment, he couldn't help but feel his eyes redden...

A hemp rope always breaks at the thinnest point!

Misfortune always seeks out the miserable!

Hearing movement behind her, Zhang Qian saw Tang Ye and Xing Zhijun, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

Tang Ye hurriedly explained to her, "Don't be nervous, we are friends of Reporter Meng."

Hearing the words "Reporter Meng," tears flowed from the corners of Zhang Qian's eyes.

"It was me who harmed Uncle Meng," Zhang Qian choked out. "Someone came to find me, warning me not to write complaint materials for the newspaper. I saw photos of Uncle Meng, the scene of him being bitten by vicious dogs, *sob*, you must save him."

Tang Ye did not expect that those people would actually use photos of the cruel torture of Meng Haibo to intimidate a young girl in the prime of her life; the anger in his heart was ignited once again.

"The matter has nothing to do with you. You are very brave to be able to speak out about the injustice you encountered. Rest assured, Reporter Meng has already been sent to the hospital." Tang Ye did not tell her that Meng Haibo had become a vegetable.

This would increase her psychological burden.

"Uncle Meng is a good person. Actually, I didn't think he would help me at first. As his reader, I liked his news exposing the darkness, so I held onto the idea of giving it a try. I didn't expect him to find me. After understanding my situation, he said he would help me." Zhang Qian began to wipe her tears as she said this.

Seeing her daughter crying, Zhang Qian's mother thought Tang Ye and Xing Zhijun were bullying her, so she put down the bowl in her hand, looked at Tang Ye and Xing Zhijun nervously, and struck a defensive posture.

"Mom, they aren't bad people, they are Uncle Meng's friends."

After Zhang Qian explained, Mother Zhang relaxed her vigilance and continued to pick up the rice bowl and eat.

Seeing this scene, Tang Ye sighed again, "We came to find you to tell you not to give up, not to despair. Your father will have a reasonable explanation, and Uncle Meng's blood will not have been shed in vain."

Zhang Qian wiped away her tears, "Do you need me to do anything?"

Tang Ye thought for a moment and said, "We want to arrange a transfer for you. Do you agree?"

Zhang Qian said, "Transfer?"

Tang Ye nodded, "Transfer you to a school in Dayu County. Your mother, as well as your younger siblings and grandparents, we will arrange everything for them."

Although young, Zhang Qian had rich experiences and deep insight; she instantly understood Tang Ye's meaning—to protect her and her family.

"I, I am afraid of implicating you," Zhang Qian said with annoyance. "Those people are truly terrifying."

Tang Ye mused that Zhang Qian was quite sensible and well-behaved, "Rest assured, we are not afraid of them."

Tang Ye and Xing Zhijun had come this time for two reasons.

One was to hope to understand Zhang Qian's situation and see if they could give her some help.

Second, it was also to hope to use this to exert pressure on the people behind the scenes.

Tang Ye and Xing Zhijun then brought Zhang Qian to the Principal's office.

It was currently the Principal's lunch break, and with someone suddenly showing up, he felt it was quite inexplicable.

Xing Zhijun did not say much and directly took out his work ID: "Principal Chen, let me introduce myself. I am Xing Zhijun, Deputy County Magistrate of Dayu County."

"County Magistrate Xing, may I ask what help you need from us?"

Principal Chen felt very strange!

What were the leaders of Dayu County doing at his school?

"We want to process a transfer for student Zhang Qian, who is studying at your school. We ask for your convenience."

"Transfer? That's no problem." In Principal Chen's view, it was just a student.

"We are taking the child away. Later, we will have the Education Bureau coordinate with you regarding the child's student status." Xing Zhijun shook hands with Principal Chen and introduced him, "By the way, this is our Dayu County Executive Deputy County Magistrate, Comrade Tang Ye."

Principal Chen reacted in astonishment, "You are County Magistrate Tang! I have long admired your name!"

Tang Ye knew of Principal Chen's great reaction because he knew his reputation in the Yanzhou education circle was not small; after all, he had previously sent the Director of the County Education Bureau of Dayu County to prison.

Hearing that people from a teaching-aid company had come to promote their products, Director Guo hurried back to the school in a rush, but he didn't see anyone at the entrance. He walked to the security office and asked with a frown, "Didn't you say someone was looking for me? Where are they?"

The security guard said in surprise, "They said they were going to the restroom and would wait for me at the security office. Later, I was a bit busy and forgot about it. Didn't they wait at your office door? Oh my, could they be scammers?"

Director Guo rolled his eyes, "How can you have no vigilance at all! You dare to let strangers into the school so casually? Campus safety is being strictly enforced now; if something goes wrong, you'll be the one to suffer the consequences."

The security guard was also panicking, but suddenly looked up and saw Tang Ye and Xing Zhijun leading Zhang Qian out of the office building.

In addition, Principal Chen was accompanying them with a smile on his face.

The security guard breathed a sigh of relief, "That's those two people; they went directly to find Principal Chen."

Director Guo was speechless.

Can they get things done just by finding Principal Chen? They really don't take me seriously at all.

Tang Ye and Xing Zhijun walked closer.

The security guard said gloomily, "You guys are really not being fair. Director Guo rushed back before he even finished his meal. You actually found another way."

Seeing the security guard say this, Principal Chen was full of question marks, "County Magistrate Tang, do you know our school's security guard, Da Gao?"

Tang Ye nodded slightly, "Yes, thanks to Da Gao's help, we were able to enter the school smoothly to see Principal Chen."

Principal Chen was actually a bit annoyed, but he still smiled and said, "Da Gao, remember to contact me in advance if you encounter similar situations in the future. County Magistrate Tang and County Magistrate Xing are rare guests; we must host them well."

At this moment, it was as if the security guard Da Gao's mind had been struck by lightning.

Weren't they selling teaching aids?

How did they suddenly transform into a County Magistrate!

Good heavens...

Aren't the two of them just playing the pig to eat the tiger!
