Mo Ye silently hugged his daughter tighter, and suddenly felt... as if he had been indirectly scolded as well?

Just then, the office door was pushed open again.

A middle-aged man in his forties, with slicked-back hair and wearing a suit, hurried in.

He is Zhang Feng, the vice principal of the kindergarten.

"What's going on? What's all this commotion?!" Zhang Feng barked as soon as he entered, his face stern. "Teacher Zhou, what are you doing—"

He was speaking when his gaze swept across the office and then froze.

Because he saw the woman standing by the window, who hadn't said a word.

He Wanqing.

Zhang Feng broke out in a cold sweat instantly.

"Mr. He?" Zhang Feng's dignified expression instantly crumbled, replaced by an almost fawning smile. "Why didn't you announce your arrival? What... what happened?"

He Wanqing turned around.

Today she wore a beige business suit, and her long hair was tied into a simple bun at the back of her head.

Since entering the room, she has barely spoken, simply observing everything quietly.

But it was precisely this quietness that made the atmosphere around her feel terrifyingly oppressive.

"Principal Zhang," He Wanqing said, her voice calm and undisturbed, "your people bullied my daughter."

Zhang Feng's legs went weak at those few words.

"Teacher Zhou!" He turned sharply to Zhou Xuechong, who had just gotten up from the ground, his voice trembling, "What's wrong with you?! How could you lay a hand on President He's child?!"

Zhou Xuechong covered her face, her hair was disheveled, and her makeup was ruined, making her look extremely embarrassed.

When she heard Zhang Feng's accusation, she was first stunned, then exploded like a lit firecracker.

"Zhang Feng!" she screamed, her voice so shrill it made you want to cover your ears. "You didn't say that in the hotel bed last night!"

You said He Wanqing is just a vixen who was kicked out of her home, and she's not even as good as one of my fingers!

Now you get scared when you see a real person?!

Are you even a man?!

The office fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone's expression froze.

Zhang Feng's face went from red to white, then from white to green, and finally became so black it looked like ink could drip from it.

He glared at Zhou Xuechong, wishing he could pounce on her and strangle this stupid woman.

"What nonsense are you spouting?!" Zhang Feng's voice trembled as he slapped her across the face. The sound was even louder than Li Tian's slap earlier.

Zhou Xuechong's head was turned to the side by the blow, and a clear palm print quickly appeared on her face.

She covered her face, froze for two seconds, and then burst into an even sharper scream:

"You dare hit me?! Zhang Feng, you dare hit me?!"

My brother is the deputy director of the Education Bureau!

You just wait!

I'm going to ruin your reputation!

I'll expose all the shady things you've done, one by one!

If I'm not having a good time, you shouldn't expect to have one either!

Zhang Feng's temples throbbed, and his vision went black for a moment.

How could he have gotten involved with such an idiot?!

Why couldn't I control my lower body back then!

After cursing Zhang Feng, Zhou Xuechong pulled out her phone and dialed while crying, "Brother! Brother, come quick! I'm being bullied at kindergarten! They hit me! And that bitch He Wanqing—"

Before he could finish speaking, the office door was pushed open for the third time.

This time, two men walked in.

The man walking in front was in his fifties, wearing a dark jacket, with gray hair, a serious face, and sharp eyes.

Behind him was a man in his early forties, wearing an executive jacket, with an anxious expression.

As soon as Zhou Xuechong saw the man behind her, she rushed towards him, crying.

"Brother! You're finally here! They hit me! Arrest them all! These damned civilians—"

"Shut up!" Zhou Xiong—Zhou Xuechong's older brother and the deputy director of the Education Bureau—shouted sternly.

His face was beyond just looking ugly.

Zhou Xuechong was stunned by the shout, then felt even more aggrieved: "Brother, you're yelling at me?!"

Are you still my brother?!

Your parents asked you to take care of me, and this is how you take care of me?!

He Wanqing has already been kicked out of the He family, what are you afraid of?!

"Isn't she just a nouveau riche with a little money? How can she compare to you, a deputy bureau chief?!"

Zhou Xiong closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

The thing he regrets most in his life is probably having such a brainless, spoiled younger sister.

He's usually good at cleaning up after people who cause trouble. But now—

She provoked He Wanqing!

So what if He Wanqing is kicked out of the He family? They can't bear to watch their daughter and granddaughter being bullied...

"Idiot." Zhou Xiong squeezed out the two words through gritted teeth.

"What did you say?!" Zhou Xuechong stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Zhou Xiong ignored her and turned to the older man who hadn't spoken until now, and said with difficulty, "Director Li, about this matter..."

The man referred to as "Director Li" is none other than Li Weiguo, the head of the Education Bureau of S City.

He glanced at Zhou Xuechong, then at Zhou Xiong, and finally his gaze settled on He Wanqing, his expression complex.

"Xiao Qing," Li Weiguo said gently, "Are you alright?"

He Wanqing then stepped forward and nodded slightly to Li Weiguo: "Uncle Li, thank you for making this trip."

Then, she calmly, clearly, and methodically recounted the entire incident.

From Zhou Xiaohu bullying Lin Simei, to Tongtong and Lu Hao fighting to protect their classmate, and then to how Zhou Xuechong dragged the two children into the office, forced them to kneel, physically assaulted them, and scratched Lu Hao—

She explained every single detail clearly.

As He Wanqing recounted her story, Zhou Xiong's face gradually paled.

After He Wanqing finished speaking, Li Weiguo's face was so dark it looked like it could be wrung out.

He looked at Zhou Xiong, his voice icy: "Deputy Director Zhou, is this what your sister did?"

"Director Li, I..." Zhou Xiong opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't say a single word.

What else can be said?

The facts are undeniable, with witnesses and physical evidence to prove it, and even his sister herself has admitted it.

It was only then that Zhou Xuechong belatedly realized that something was wrong.

She looked at Li Weiguo, then at Zhou Xiong, then at He Wanqing, and finally snapped out of her anger and began to feel afraid.

"Brother..." her voice trembled, "and who is this...?"

"This is Li Weiguo, the director of the Education Bureau," Zhou Xiong said through gritted teeth.

Zhou Xuechong's legs went weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground.

Li Weiguo stopped looking at them and walked up to Mo Ye. He bent down and gave Tongtong, who was still sobbing in her father's arms, a gentle smile, and deliberately asked, "Little friend, what's your name?"

Of course he knew Tongtong's name.

Tongtong lifted her head from Moye's arms, her big eyes still red, and her little mouth pouting so much it could hang an oil bottle.

She glanced at Li Weiguo, then buried her face in Mo Ye's arms and said in a muffled voice, "I don't want to talk to you."
