Chapter 3425

The people in the office all turned their heads to look at the office door at the same time, and they all saw Su Xinghui.

When the principal saw Su Xinghui, he naturally stopped talking; Su Xinghui was speaking up now, so he certainly didn't want his identity to be exposed.

Seeing that Su Xinghui had arrived, Teacher Liu let out a long sigh of relief; she had finally managed to protect Niuniu and hadn't let that woman hit him, which could be considered fulfilling her duty as a teacher.

Niuniu had been looking at the woman very stubbornly, with no fear in his eyes, only anger, but he had also not exposed his own identity; now that he saw his father had arrived, he suddenly had a backbone, and he puffed out his chest even further.

The woman turned her head and saw Su Xinghui; she saw that Su Xinghui was tall and had a dignified and imposing appearance, with Zhai Yingjie following behind him, but she didn't take it to heart—Su Xinghui was so young, even if he had some status, how high could it really be?

The woman said arrogantly, "So you're his father? I'm asking if your family has any upbringing at all, beating my son into this state—look at him! His face is all swollen, and these high-end trousers have been ruined like this; tell me, what should be done about this?"

Zhai Yingjie, who was following behind Su Xinghui, was furious when he heard her say the Su family had no upbringing, and he prepared to speak up, but Su Xinghui made a gesture for him to stay calm and not be impatient, so he held back.

Since Su Xinghui had arrived at the scene and confirmed that Niuniu was safe, he was no longer in such a hurry; he regained his composure and said, "I want to hear the sequence of events; I need to know why my son hit your son."

Niuniu said, "Dabao was bullying a female classmate, and when Teacher Liu disciplined him, he kicked Teacher Liu, swelling up her leg. I went up and told him what he was doing was wrong and asked him to apologize to Teacher Liu, but he tried to hit me, so I tripped him. I didn't hit his face; his face hit the door later by itself."

Niuniu was worthy of having grown up under Su Xinghui's guidance; his psychological resilience was incredibly good, and his speech was clear and logical. In just a few sentences, he explained the sequence of events clearly, which made Su Xinghui feel very gratified.

What made Su Xinghui feel even more gratified was that Niuniu had shown great restraint in his actions; he had merely tripped that so-called Dabao, likely using the throwing technique Qi Xiaoshan had taught him, and hadn't used excessive force. For a small child to be able to control his emotions like this was truly rare.

Su Xinghui asked Teacher Liu, "Teacher Liu, is the sequence of events as he described?"

Teacher Liu simply nodded.

But the woman had already begun to shriek shrilly, "You little bastard, you're lying! How could my Dabao hit anyone? You hit someone and then you lie—you little bastard, you are truly too wicked..."

Su Xinghui said coldly to the woman, "Show some respect; if you dare to curse again, I will not be polite to you!"

The woman acted like a shrew and said to Su Xinghui, "Come on then! How will you not be polite to me? You'd better watch yourself—my father-in-law is the District Party Secretary; when he gets here, he'll have you all arrested!"

District Party Secretary? Thinking back to what the principal said earlier about her father-in-law being some Secretary Lin, Su Xinghui understood: this woman must be the daughter-in-law of Baozhou District Party Secretary Lin Yongchang.

Lin Yongchang was the Baozhou District Party Secretary and also a member of the Baozhou Municipal Party Standing Committee. He had held this position for two or three years, and he had always been quite low-key, seemingly having little presence at the Municipal Party Standing Committee meetings, so Su Xinghui hadn't paid much attention to him.

The work in Baozhou District had always been lukewarm, yet it had consistently occupied the top spot in the GDP rankings among Baozhou's six counties and two districts. Of course, it was possible that Yinshan County would catch up this year, and if all the development zones were included, their top position was already no longer secure.

Lin Yongchang was usually very polite to Su Xinghui. Although he had been a member of the Municipal Party Standing Committee longer than Su Xinghui, every time he saw Su Xinghui, he would greet him very politely, calling him "Mayor Su," completely acting as if he were dealing with a municipal leader.

Su Xinghui naturally couldn't put on any airs in front of Lin Yongchang either; he was over fifty years old and had been on the Municipal Party Standing Committee longer than Su Xinghui. If Su Xinghui put on airs, wouldn't that just give others something to talk about? Therefore, Su Xinghui was also very polite whenever he saw Lin Yongchang.

It was just unexpected that Lin Yongchang's daughter-in-law would be of such a character—completely unreasonable.

Faced with such a shrew, Su Xinghui naturally couldn't actually take action. There were still so many teachers watching at the scene; if he were to hit a woman, regardless of who she was or what she had done wrong, the impact would be very negative.

If someone posted on the internet that Baozhou Deputy Mayor Su Xinghui hit a woman, Su Xinghui would become famous nationwide in an instant. The internet was already very developed now, and things like human flesh search engines were terrifying, so Su Xinghui couldn't possibly take action.

This was the first time Su Xinghui felt that his status as Deputy Mayor had brought him trouble. If he didn't have this status, he would have just hit this shrew—what could she do about it?

Su Xinghui could only take out his phone, prepared to call Lin Yongchang and have him come over to take his daughter-in-law away, so she wouldn't cause trouble here and make everyone look bad; this was also not good for the child's development.

Although Lin Yongchang's daughter-in-law was a shrew, Su Xinghui did not vent his anger on Lin Yongchang. He knew that anyone's relatives could potentially be like this; Lin Yongchang was a leader, but that didn't necessarily mean he could keep all his family members in line.

When it came down to it, this was just a small matter, and Su Xinghui didn't want to blow it out of proportion.

Zhai Yingjie, however, said, "Watch your language and stop hurting people with your words; if this matter blows up, you won't be able to handle the consequences."

The woman said, "So what if it blows up? I'm not afraid if it blows up; when the time comes, I'll have you all arrested."

Just then, a man's furious roar came from the doorway: "Who is it? Which bastard hit my son? I'll beat you all to death!"
