Tan Rou did not need the police to investigate the case. She already knew who did it. If this happened outside, there was no need for her to call the police. She would think of a way to deal with this matter silently. However, it happened in school and so many students saw it. Therefore, she still had to hand the arson over to the police.
The police, firefighters, and doctors had all arrived. As Aunt June was seriously injured, the police could not take her away. They had to ask the doctor to take Aunt June to the hospital for treatment first and ask her questions after she woke up. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Tan Rou and the others were also taken to the hospital for a check-up. Although only their clothes were slightly burned, Principal Zhang was still worried and asked the students who were burned to go to the hospital for a check-up. All the expenses would be covered by the school.
When Zhuang Liu arrived at the hospital, his entire body was trembling. He didnât dare to drive himself, but let Xiao Mo drive. If he drove, there would probably be another car accident on the road.
âItâs just a little scalded. Itâs not a big problem. Iâll give you a box of ointment. You just need to apply for it for half a month when you go back. Donât touch too hot water for the time being, lest your skin gets scalded,â the doctor said.
âThankyou, Doctor,â Tan Rou replied lightly. She could make the ointment herself, but she didnât want to expose her medical skills in front of so many students.
As soon as she went out, she saw Zhuang Liu at the door. Zhuang Liuâs eyes were red and his hair was messy. He seemed to have run over.
âIâm fine.â Tan Rou smiled when she saw him. âI was just scalded by the fire when I was putting out the fire. Iâll be fine soon.â
Zhuang Liuâs heart palpitated. He pulled Tan Rou into his arms and hugged her tightly. âRourou, you scared me to death!â
His voice was trembling because he was really afraid that Tan Rou would get hurt and lose her.
Tan Rou also hugged him. âI was too impulsive. I shouldnât have blindly gone up to put out the fire. Iâll be more careful next time.â
Upon hearing Tan Ronâs words, Zhuang Liu was speechless. He sighed softly. âAre your injuries serious?â
âMy clothes are badly damaged.â Tan Rou lifted her legs and saw that her black wide-legged pants had become a beggarâs outfit.
âLooks like I canât wear it anymore!â
âWeâll go buy new ones right away,â Zhuang Liu said helplessly. âWeâll buy a few more.â
Principal Zhang knew Zhuang Liu, but Zhuang Liu and Tan Rou were talking, so he was too embarrassed to go over. When they were almost done talking, he went over to greet Zhuang Liu.
âPresident Zhuang, long time no see!â Zhang Liu said with a smile.
When Zhuang Liu saw Principal Zhang, his expression immediately turned ugly. âPrincipal Zhang, if I remember correctly, the new research building at Capital University was funded by the Zhuang Corporation and the Tao Corporation, right? Is this how your school protects our Rourou?â
Principal Zhangâs expression was also very ugly. He had originally wanted to build a good relationship with Tan Rou, but now, not only had he offended Tan Rou, but he had also offended the Zhuang and Tao families. How was his school going to cooperate with these two families in the future?
âPresident Zhuang, this was an accident.â Principal Zhang said, âWeâve already caught the person who started the fire. As long as she wakes up, weâll hand her over to the police station. Donât worry, weâll definitely give you an explanation for this matter.â
Tan Rou spoke up for Principal Zhang. âDonât make things difficult for the principal. He didnât expect this to happen. Besides, the school has suffered a lot of losses. It will take a long time for the forest and grassland to recover.â
Since Tan Rou had spoken, Zhuang Liu naturally wouldnât make things difficult for Principal Zhang. âFine, Iâll listen to you.â
Principal Zhang heaved a sigh of relief. âStudent Tan Rou, if you feel uncomfortable in the back, you must let us know. The school will do its best to compensate you.â
Zhuang Liu glared at him. âOur Rourou is fine. Donât curse her.â
Poor Principal Zhang was already over fifty years old, yet he still had to be reprimanded by someone younger than her. However, he could not refute it. âYes, yes, yes. I said something wrong. I apologize.â
âPrincipal, we still have matters to attend to, so weâll be leaving first,â Tan Rou said.
Principal Zhang couldnât wait for them to leave as soon as possible. âAlright, you can come to me anytime if you have any further questions.â
Tan Rou pulled Zhuang Liu away, but they did not go back. Instead, they went to the door of the operating theater where Aunt June was.
