âHahaha-â Jian Dan suddenly burst into laughter.
âWhat are you laughing at?â Director Liu spoke up.
âYou can still laugh at a time like this? Letâs see if you can still laugh when the police arrive.â
âWell, weâll see who wonât be able to laugh then,â Jian Dan retorted.
âWhat do you mean by that?â Director Liu sensed a hidden meaning in Jian Danâs words.
âWhat do you think I mean?â
At this moment, Director Liu couldnât fathom Jian Danâs thoughts and felt that calling the police might spell trouble, so he stopped Teacher Wang.
âWhy did you just attack Teacher Wang?â Director Liu asked coldly.
He had to understand Jian Danâs intentions before deciding what to do next.
âI just thought that since you donât understand words, I would show you with actions.
The incident just now has proved that when oneâs life is threatened, any normal person would fight back,â Jian Dan explained calmly.
âYou were trying to kill me just now, thatâs different from the situation at noon!â Director Liu continued. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âDifferent? Do you think itâs different?
Thirty against three, I donât think those three could have come out unscarred!â
âBut now itâs the thirty who didnât come out unharmed!â Teacher Wang interjected again.
âThatâs because they encountered me. If it were any other student, the outcome wouldâve surely been different!â
âYouâ¦â
âDirector Liu, what else do you want to say? Ouyang Jing has been bullied for more than a day or two, dare you say you didnât know? But what did you do?â As a schoolteacher, standing by and watching your students get bullied without intervening makes you unworthy of being called a human.
âThe incident at noon could be considered self-defense, but what about your actions just now? You actually committed public assault? The school will definitely report you to the public security for handling!â Director Liu took a step back, reasoning that if he could just deal with Jian Dan today, he wouldnât need to personally take care of the other two, and F4 would naturally be handled as well.
A look of innocence appeared on Jian Danâs face, âDirector Liu, what incident are you referring to from just now?â
âWhat incident? You still have the nerve to ask? You were just holding a utility knife, trying to harm Teacher Wang.â
âDirector Liu, what are you talking about? When did I use a utility knife to harm Teacher Wang?â Jian Dan looked as if he was about to cry, âIt was clearly Teacher Wang who was so angry that he slashed my arm with the utility knife, right?â
âWhat did you say?â Teacher Wang exploded again, the utility knife still in his hand, so when he pointed at Jian Dan, it looked as if he intended to do something to him. And this scene was just right, captured by Xiaoting with her phone.
âTeacher Wang, what are you doing?â Jian Dan dodged as if to avoid.
Xiaoting and Ouyang Jing were trying so hard to hold back their laughter that their stomachs were starting to hurt, and Xiaoting still had to hold up her phoneâ¦
âWhat are you doing?â Director Liu noticed Yang Xiaoting recording with her phone and moved to snatch it away.
âHey hey hey- Director Liu, what are you trying to do? Destroy evidence?â Ouyang Jing blocked Director Liu.
Because of Ouyang Jingâs height advantage, Director Liu had no way to get past him to snatch the phone.
âJian Dan, you were clearly trying to stab me with a knife just now, everyone saw it! Didnât they, Director Liu?â Teacher Wang looked to Director Liu for affirmation.
âExactly!â Director Liu adjusted his clothes before speaking.
âDirector Liu, as the head of our school, how could you possibly tell such a lie? Do you realize that by doing so, you could ruin a studentâs future?â Jian Dan covered his mouth and sobbed pitifully.
âYeah, Director Liu, how can you wrongfully accuse someone like that?â Xiaoting and Ouyang Jing also defended Jian Dan.
âYouâ¦â Director Liu was about to say something when his gaze shifted to Zhang Yang, âZhang Yang, what did you see just now?â
âHuh?â Zhang Yang looked up at Director Liu and then turned his gaze to Jian Dan.
Jian Dan looked at him with reddened eyes, âTeacher Zhang, you wouldnât also join them in framing me, would you?â
Although Jian Dan hadnât spent much time with Zhang Yang, he could tell he was a good teacher. Given the dayâs events, he should be able to tell right from wrong, who to support and who not to support, he must know in his heart.
