Ch 121: Director Ma Shows Up
Principal Fan Cai glared fiercely at Qi Ke, truly an ungrateful wretch.
However, Fan Cai still convinced himself to remain calm; things weren’t at their worst yet.
Soon, Fan Cai calmed down, and the fierce look in his eyes immediately changed, becoming kind. He softly said to Qi Ke, “Isn’t it all because of you?”
Then, Fan Cai turned his face, faced the investigators, and without blushing or skipping a beat, said, “Classmate Qi has always been very hardworking and very persistent about rankings. To help him keep his third place as he wished, I came up with this idea.”
“But, later I regretted it. I told Classmate Qi many times that we can’t do things against our conscience and advised him to overturn his testimony. But, he refused.”
“It’s my fault, I indulged Classmate Qi too much and didn’t educate him well.”
After speaking, Fan Cai lowered his head and wiped his eyes, as if wiping away tears. In reality, his eyes flashed fiercely again, gnashing his teeth in hatred.
Fan Cai’s acting was full of emotion. If they hadn’t heard the recording, the investigators would have almost believed him.
The arrogant and overbearing tone of Fan Cai in the recording was completely opposite to his current kind demeanor, truly a master of acting.
Clap clap clap… applause came from outside the door.
Following the sound, they saw Du Qingyang and two middle-aged men walking in together.
As soon as the investigators saw the two men, they immediately stood up and called out, “Director, Director.”
Director? Director? Fan Cai looked at Ma Qing and Xiang Yang in surprise. Director Ma and Director Xiang are here too? Why do they look so familiar? Where has he seen them before?
Du Qingyang also just found out about Ma Qing and Xiang Yang’s identities.
Du Qingyang came to West Town High School to inquire about the investigation results and met Ma Qing and Xiang Yang at the school gate. Ma Qing directly revealed their identities to Du Qingyang.
Before Fan Cai could recover, Du Qingyang smiled and said to him, “Principal Fan is really good at acting, it’s a pity you didn’t become an actor.”
“Too bad, the recording I made yesterday has already exposed your true colors; no matter how well you act, no one will believe you.”
Fan Cai was stunned. Du Qingyang made the recording? How, how did she do it?
Ma Qing glanced at Fan Cai, his eyes full of disgust. As expected, most of the people he had a bad first impression of were bad people. He couldn’t understand how Fan Cai became the principal in the first place.
Ma Qing didn’t have time to delve into it. Fan Cai was a good person before he became the principal. He started to turn bad from the time he became the principal… from those education funds…
Ma Qing didn’t want to say a word to such a morally corrupt person. He directly ordered, “Xiang Yang, call the Comrades from the Police Station and have them bring Fan Cai to the Police Station for interrogation.”
Going to the Police Station? Ma Qing only mentioned Fan Cai’s name, but it scared Qi Ke into a faint. Fainting and lying on the chair, not pretending.
Du Qingyang turned her face away, pretending not to see. She wasn’t a saint and wouldn’t extend a helping hand to her enemies.
Two investigators quickly stepped forward to help Qi Ke away to the Health Center.
“Director, isn’t it too much trouble to involve the Police with such a small matter?”
“I’ll apologize to Classmate Du Qingyang, is it okay if I apologize?”
“If that’s not enough, I’ll compensate, compensate Classmate Du Qingyang for her emotional damage.”
This time, Fan Cai was really flustered.
“This is not a small matter!” Ma Qing rebuked loudly. “Moreover, the matter of you embezzling education funds must also be thoroughly investigated!”
Upon hearing this, Fan Cai’s face turned ashen, and he almost fainted. He wanted to faint like Qi Ke, but he couldn’t.
Embezzlement was much more serious than falsely accusing someone. Fan Cai understood that if evidence was found, his life would be ruined.
No, he had been so careful; how could he be found out? Director Ma must be intimidating him.
“Don’t worry, I’m not like you; I won’t falsely accuse people. I’ve already found the evidence.”
While the investigation team was investigating the cheating incident, Ma Qing and Xiang Yang were not idle either. After a serious discussion, they found that the evidence pointing to Du Qingyang cheating all came from West Town High School.
If Du Qingyang was falsely accused, then what was West Town High School’s purpose?
Speaking of West Town High School, the two immediately thought of Fan Cai. Assuming Fan Cai was instructing people, what was his purpose?
The two also linked the cheating incident to the fact that it happened after Du Qingyang refused to enter West Town High School. Du Qingyang took first place; what did West Town High School lose?
Through layers of speculation, they connected it to the education fund.
โโโ
Unexpectedly, upon investigation, they indeed found that Fan Cai had problems. This Principal Fan Cai was truly unworthy of being a teacher.
“I… didn’t… didn’t…” Fan Cai stammered, still wanting to deny it.
Ma Qing ignored him.
Before long, two police officers arrived.
As soon as he saw the police officers, Fan Cai’s legs went weak, and he fainted on the spot.
Wasn’t he pretending? This guy’s acting was too good. Du Qingyang stepped forward and flipped Fan Cai’s eyelids. Huh, he wasn’t pretending; he really fainted.
After confirming that Fan Cai had really fainted, Du Qingyang walked away, not planning to wake Fan Cai up.
How could she wake Fan Cai up? Du Qingyang was thinking that if Fan Cai was pretending, she would punch him unconscious.
Even if he fainted, he still had to be handcuffed! Two police officers handcuffed Fan Cai, each holding one of his arms, and took him away.
Ma Qing and Xiang Yang personally escorted Du Qingyang back to San Nan Village School and, in front of all the villagers, announced that Du Qingyang had been falsely accused. Du Qingyang did not cheat; she was the well-deserved first place in the province!
Chen Nanmu cried.
Teacher Zhang also cried.
Du Qingyang, on the other hand, was calm and not excited at all.
The protagonist wasn’t excited, but the Group of Friends and Family were so excited that they wanted to celebrate.
“Qingyang, Mom will go home now and make you something delicious.”
“Dad and Brother will go to Dong Town Restaurant now and pack chicken legs for you to bring back for extra dishes.”
Without waiting for Du Qingyang to respond, Du Dawei and Du Feipeng had already driven the tractor away, chugging along.
Du Qingyang really wanted to say that she didn’t like eating chicken legs. They were high in fat and easy to gain weight.
Du Qingyang sighed. Turning around, she saw her mother, Fang Rong, and Xiang Zhihang walking towards home, chatting and laughing.
They seemed to be discussing what dishes to make? Brother Zhihang was going to help her mother cook?
Du Qingyang guessed correctly.
An hour later, the Du Family father and son returned. Du Feipeng happily brought the chicken legs into the kitchen. As soon as he entered the kitchen, he saw Xiang Zhihang and his mother chatting and laughing, cooking together!
“Xiang Zhihang, what are you doing here? Get out now!” Du Feipeng immediately shouted.
Seeing Xiang Zhihang wearing an apron and holding a cooking spatula, looking like a stay-at-home man, Du Feipeng was furious. It’s okay for you, Xiang Zhihang, to be a stay-at-home man, but don’t be the Du Family’s stay-at-home man!
You’re even occupying the Du Family’s kitchen; what do you mean by that?
“What are you shouting about? Zhihang helped me a lot; he’s one of us.” Without waiting for Xiang Zhihang to respond, Fang Rong had already spoken up to reprimand him.
Xiang Zhihang quietly extended two fingers towards Du Feipeng, making a victory sign.
Du Feipeng reached out and covered his heart, almost spitting blood.
