Chu An caught up with Gu Xiao and looked worriedly at Gu Xiao, who was pursing her lips tightly.
âXiaoxiao, do you need my father to come forward? He definitely wonât refuse.â
Gu Xiao paused for a moment, then shook her head at Chu An. âThereâs no need to trouble Uncle. Since Teacher canât make the decision, we can just go straight to the principal.â
Of course, Gu Xiao knew that if she and Chu An asked, Chu Baiyuan would definitely help them. However, she didnât want to rely on the Chu family for everything.
Moreover, she still wanted to attack the Ji family. At that time, the Chu family would have even less reason to help her. She could not rely on the Chu family for everything.
Chu An saw that Gu Xiao had already made up her mind, so he didnât say much and just quietly accompanied her.
He would not do anything that went against Gu Xiaoâs decision, nor would he let her face everything alone.
When the two of them arrived at the principalâs office, the principal, knowing who they were, hurriedly smiled at them.
âItâs Student Gu Xiao and Student Chu An. Is something the matter?â
Gu Xiao nodded and told him what had happened. Then, she requested to see the surveillance footage.
After seeing the principalâs troubled expression, Gu Xiao said directly, âPrincipal, if you donât let me check the surveillance footage, donât blame me for calling the police.â
The principalâs expression changed when he heard Gu Xiaoâs words.
âCall the police? This⦠this isnât good, right? Itâs just a small matter, not something that needs a police report. Student Gu Xiao, you should calm down first.â
Gu Xiaoâs expression was calm, and her attitude did not change at all because of the principalâs words.
âPrincipal, you must be joking. This is not a small matter. My brother gave me that fountain pen. Itâs worth hundreds of thousands on the market. Now, I donât know who damaged my fountain pen. If 1 call the police, based on the price of my fountain pen, obviously the police wonât sit back and do nothing.â
As Gu Xiao spoke, she took out her phone from her pocket and opened it. The interface stopped at the dial-up page.
It was as if as long as the principal was unwilling to give her the surveillance footage, she would call the police the next second.
For the first time, the principal regretted not taking the phones of these young ladies and young masters.
The principal had also heard about Ji Yao and Gu Xiao. From Gu Xiaoâs words, it was very likely that Ji Yao had done something. However, he could not afford to trifle with Ji Yao, given who she was. After all, Gu Xiao had not obtained the Ji familyâs approval, so her status was probably much worse.
He really did not dare to give out this surveillance footage.
âGu Xiao, why donât we do this? How about we compensate you in the name of the school?â
What Gu Xiao cared about was not this sum of money, but the gift that Ji Chen gave her. It was a gift from her family!
Gu Xiao sneered and there was a chill in her eyes.
âPrincipal, you should think carefully before you speak. Are you going to disregard No. 1 High Schoolâs reputation? If the police really come to No. 1 High School, Iâm afraid it wonât be a good thing for No. 1 High School, right?â
Although No. 1 High School was indeed the best high school in the city, if word got out that No. 1 High School was protecting a criminal student, no parent would dare to send their children to No. 1 High School.
No matter how good their reputation was in the past, the school still had to be concerned about student enrollment.
The principal gritted his teeth and was a little conflicted.
He looked up and was about to persuade Gu Xiao again when he realized that Chu An, who had been standing beside Gu Xiao, was giving him a warning look.
Cold sweat suddenly broke out on the principalâs back.
How could he have forgotten that even if Ji Yao had the Ji family behind her, the Chu family was behind Gu Xiao. Seeing how much Chu An cared about Gu Xiao, the Chu family would probably stand up for Gu Xiao as long as Gu Xiao said a word. There was no need for Gu Xiao to call the police.
Just the Chu Family alone was enough to make him suffer.
After thinking it through, the principal smiled at Gu Xiao. âWell, Student Gu Xiao, itâs not that 1 donât want to give you this surveillance footage. Itâs just that the surveillance camera in your Improved Class has been broken for the past two days and hasnât been repaired yet. Thereâs nothing 1 can do even if you ask me for the surveillance footage!â
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaoâs originally calm expression stirred.
She knew it. How could Ji Yao be so self-righteous and even take the initiative to ask her to look for the surveillance footage? She probably only dared to do this because she knew that there was something wrong with the surveillance cameras.
Gu Xiaoâs eyes turned cold. It seemed that she had underestimated Ji Yao this time..
