Seeing the elder's cold gaze, many students around shivered and quickly ran away, leaving only some newly enrolled freshmen.
"This young lady unreasonably pushed me, and when I asked her to apologize, she refused. Then the vice-dean came and was about to expel me without asking any questions!"
As Liu Zheng was contemplating how to phrase his words, Li Mei stepped forward and spoke first.
She realized that her slowness in speaking might have cost her the initiative. This time, she was determined to get justice for herself!
"No, Dean, don't listen to his nonsense. This woman is the one who cries foul first. Look, she's already made a classmate cry!"
Seeing the Dean's expression change slightly, a trace of panic flashed in Liu Zheng's eyes. He quickly pushed Zhao Na forward.
By this time, Zhao Na, after much effort, was in tears. Anyone who didn't know the truth would genuinely think she had been greatly wronged.
"Hmm?"
"Sister, why are you looking for me? Didn't I tell you I was busy? You still want me to..."
Just as the Dean was wondering, a woman's voice was suddenly heard from afar. Before the woman could finish speaking, she stood frozen upon seeing Er Zhu and Li Mei.
"Zhao Na's sister is her?"
Seeing the very familiar Zhao Qian, a hint of surprise flashed in Li Mei's eyes.
Zhao Na, Zhao Qian, it was quite easy to guess, but she hadn't thought of it.
Not far away, Zhao Qian's mind was reeling as if struck by lightning. She thought someone was bullying her sister, but she never expected it to be Li Mei and Er Zhu!
She knew Li Mei's character well; it would be fortunate if her sister didn't bully Li Mei. Er Zhu was even less likely. He had many important things to attend to that day and no time to bother with her sister.
"Sister, you're finally here! Quickly cuff these two country bumpkins. They dared to bully me!"
Seeing Zhao Qian, Zhao Na seemed to have found a backer. She wiped her tears and walked towards her as she spoke.
"Sister, stop messing around. These two wouldn't bully you. Also, the police station isn't mine to command; I can't just arrest people if I want to!"
Zhao Qian flung her sister's hand away, her shocked eyes flashing with anger.
"Hmm? You know them?" Zhao Na's eyes widened in surprise. She looked at her sister tentatively.
"Yes, Er Zhu has helped us many times, and Li Mei is a sensible and virtuous woman. These two wouldn't bully you."
Zhao Qian nodded. She pointed to Er Zhu and then to Li Mei, suppressing the anger in her heart.
Seeing her sister's strained expression and looking at Er Zhu and Li Mei, Zhao Na felt her head buzz. She had thought her sister would come to avenge her, but she never expected this outcome!
Beside them, Liu Zheng kept his head down, his face flushed and burning as if he had been slapped!
Although they hadn't said a word, the conversation between the two sisters made the situation clear: it wasn't the man and woman who were being unreasonable, but Zhao Na!
Liu Zheng's eyes darted around. He was desperately trying to find a suitable excuse, but none of the ones he thought of worked.
"Sister, hurry back and apologize to Er Zhu and Sister Mei. We can't afford to offend these two from our Zhao family."
Seeing Er Zhu's icy gaze, Zhao Qian shivered. She kindly reminded her sister.
Although their Zhao family was considered a prominent household in town, compared to Er Zhu, they were nothing!
Even though she didn't know Er Zhu's exact net worth, she knew it was far, far more than the Zhao family's!
"Ah? Is this kid more powerful, or this woman?"
Hearing this, Zhao Na was even more shocked. She looked at Er Zhu and Li Mei doubtfully and then quietly asked.
"Er Zhu, he owns many businesses in our town, and he's a good friend of our chief."
Zhao Qian looked at Er Zhu with complicated emotions. She thought about everything she knew about Er Zhu and told him.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Na stood there, completely bewildered, staring intently at Er Zhu.
She had initially thought Er Zhu was just an ordinary farmer, but she never expected this kid to be friends with the police chief!
After all, Wu Zhengxiong never easily made friends with anyone. Even her father only had a nodding acquaintance with Wu Zhengxiong!
Yet, this young man was friends with Wu Zhengxiong!
This meant he must possess abilities beyond the ordinary!
"Xiao Qian, what else do you know? Tell me everything you know about this kid!"
The more Zhao Na thought about it, the more excited she became. Her good impression of Er Zhu rapidly increased. She grabbed Zhao Qian, her face beaming as she looked at Er Zhu.
"I... I don't know much, anyway, just stay away from him in the future. And Sister Mei, don't provoke her either!"
Looking at Er Zhu, Zhao Qian almost said something, but seeing her sister's infatuated look, she instinctively didn't want to say too much.
Zhao Na tried to stop her, but Zhao Qian was too fast. By the time she reacted, Zhao Qian was already nowhere to be seen.
Looking at Er Zhu's handsome appearance and thinking about what Zhao Qian had said, Zhao Na took a deep breath and ran over with a smile.
"Hehe, Sister Mei, right? I'm sorry, I was just kidding earlier."
Zhao Na enthusiastically grabbed Li Mei's hand to apologize, but before she could finish, Li Mei pulled her hand back.
Seeing that her hand was empty, a flicker of anger crossed Zhao Na's eyes, but remembering her sister's warning, she could only force a smile.
"Yes, it's really nothing. Principal, shall we go back? There are many things to do at school."
Seeing Zhao Na apologize, Liu Zheng guessed that something was wrong. He chuckled and pulled the principal towards the school.
"Liu Zheng, do you think I'm an idiot? You wanted to expel someone without even asking. What about the school's regulations?"
But before he could take half a step, the principal forcefully threw Liu Zheng's hand off and roared furiously.
"Don't think I don't know what you've been doing at the school. I was giving you face, but you've become increasingly presumptuous! Liu Zheng, I am now officially informing you as the principal: you are expelled!"
Seeing Liu Zheng's guilty eyes, the principal became even more furious and roared.
Their school's reputation was originally very good, but in the last few years, it had deteriorated significantly, and they were barely able to recruit students!
He knew very well that all of this was caused by Liu Zheng, but he had never had evidence, so he couldn't take action.
He thought he would have to wait a long time, but the opportunity came surprisingly quickly.
"No, Principal, don't expel me! I was also tricked by Zhao Na. I didn't do it on purpose."
Seeing the principal's angry expression, Liu Zheng knew this was no joke. Panic filled his eyes.
He had worked at this school his whole life and was about to retire. He couldn't be expelled!
Liu Zheng became more and more flustered. Suddenly, as if he had an idea, he looked at Er Zhu for help.
