When Li Niannian rushed into the teachers' office, her chest was still heaving violently.

She immediately spotted Miao Miao huddled behind her homeroom teacher, Ms. Wang, her little hands gripping the teacher's clothes tightly, her whole body trembling.

Her little face was covered in tear stains.

Opposite them stood a couple in their thirties, dressed smartly.

The woman, with her fashionable perm and carrying a designer handbag, was pointing at Miao Miao with her finger, her voice so shrill it could pierce eardrums.

"You bastard child with no parents! Born of a mother but not raised by one! You dare to hit people at such a young age! Look what you've done to my son!"

A chubby little boy stood in front of her, with two faint red marks on his face.

The boy's father remained silent with a sullen face, staring at Miaomiao with an unfriendly look.

Seeing his mother scolding so fiercely, the little boy made a face at Miaomiao and imitated her, shouting, "Bastard! Bastard!"

Teacher Wang stood in front of Miaomiao, trying to calm her down: "Lele's mother, please don't get agitated, the situation hasn't been clarified yet..."

"Find out what?!" The woman wouldn't listen, spitting almost onto Teacher Wang's face. "The injuries on my son's face are proof! This wild girl has to apologize to my Lele! Pay up! Otherwise, this isn't over!"

Li Niannian took a deep breath and walked over quickly.

"Miaomiao!"

Hearing the sound, Miao Miao suddenly looked up and saw her sister. Her eyes reddened even more, and she opened her mouth to cry, but she held it back tightly.

Li Niannian squatted down, hugged Miaomiao, and gently patted her back.

"Don't be afraid, your older sister is here."

She looked up at the woman, trying to keep her voice steady: "Excuse me, I'm Miaomiao's older sister. Could you let my sister tell me what happened first?"

"What are you talking about!" The woman immediately turned her gun on Li Niannian, sizing her up. Seeing her ordinary sweater and jeans, her disdain deepened. "You're this wild girl's parent? Look what your sister did to my son!"

She pulled her son close and brought the teeth marks on his arm and the red marks on his face to Li Niannian's eyes.

"If you don't pay me at least 100,000 or 200,000 yuan in medical expenses and compensation for emotional distress today, I'm not done with you! I'll have the principal expel her right now! This kind of trash shouldn't be in our school!"

Li Niannian's anger surged.

She suppressed her emotions and whispered to Miaomiao, "Miaomiao, tell your sister, what happened just now?"

Miao Miao sobbed, saying intermittently, "Lele...Lele took my rabbit...I didn't give it to him, so he pushed me...I hit my head on the cabinet, it hurts so much...He tried to take it from me again, so I bit him...Then he hit me, so I scratched him..."

Her voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.

Li Niannian understood.

She stood up, shielding Miaomiao behind her, and looked at the woman: "You heard that, your son grabbed the toy first and pushed my sister down."

"So what if you snatch a toy?!" the woman interrupted rudely. "How much is a broken toy worth? My son wanting to play with it is a favor to her! Hitting someone is wrong! People from low-income families like yours have no manners! Pay up! Apologize! And then get out!"

"Are you being reasonable?" Li Niannian's voice rose as well.

"Reason? The injuries on my son's face are reason!" the woman sneered. "Teacher Wang, does your school only accept students like this? You must give us an explanation today!"

The atmosphere in the office froze.

At that moment, the door was pushed open.

A man in his fifties, with slicked-back hair and wearing a suit, walked in.

Principal Wang.

The woman's expression changed instantly upon seeing him, and she greeted him with a forced smile: "Brother Wang, you've finally arrived! Look what this wild girl has done to my son! We need an explanation today!"

Principal Wang glanced at the teeth marks on the little boy's hand and the red marks on his face.

He glanced again at Li Niannian, who was dressed simply, and Miaomiao, who looked timid behind her.

His brows furrowed.

"This parent," Principal Wang began, his voice carrying an official tone, "is a parent who has committed a serious offense by hitting someone. The other party's request for compensation and an apology is reasonable."

He paused, then looked at Li Niannian: "If you don't cooperate, the school will have to consider expelling Miaomiao. We can't keep a child with violent tendencies."

Li Niannian's heart sank.

Teacher Wang opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but under Principal Wang's gaze, she finally lowered her head.

Li Niannian felt a wave of weakness wash over her.

The other side is rich and powerful; even the principal is on their side.

What should she do?

Just then.

The office door was pushed open again.

Li Yichen walked in.

He was wearing a simple black jacket and looked calm.

Their gazes first fell on Miao Miao.

Seeing the tear stains on the little girl's face and the fear in her eyes, his gaze turned cold.

Then he looked at Principal Wang.

"Principal Wang," Li Yichen began, his tone calm yet carrying an invisible pressure, "you just said that if I don't pay compensation and apologize, you'll expel my sister from school?"

Principal Wang felt that the young man in front of him looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

Relying on his usual authority, he nodded, his tone forceful: "Fine. Either you compensate and apologize as the other parents demand, or you take Miaomiao to withdraw from school right now."

Li Yichen did not respond.

His gaze shifted to the couple.

Seeing another young man arrive, the woman became even more arrogant, pointing her finger at Li Yichen's nose: "You're this wild girl's brother? Let me tell you, my husband is the director of 'Shenglang Media'! If you don't pay up today, I'll have him expose you all over the internet! I'll make sure you can't stay in Shanghai!"

She had barely finished speaking.

Her husband, the man with the gloomy face, froze the moment he saw Li Yichen's face.

The pupils suddenly contracted.

His face turned deathly pale in an instant.

My legs started to feel weak.

He saw the young boss of Future Technology in person yesterday outside the Thunderobot battery launch event!

When Li Yichen got out of the Rolls-Royce, he was surrounded by a group of reporters and car company executives. He could see the scene clearly from a great distance.

He knew what this meant.

The woman continued babbling: "Didn't you hear me? My husband..."

The man suddenly came to his senses.

Terrified.

He raised his hand and slapped the woman hard across the face!

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound rang out in the office.

Everyone was stunned.

The woman covered her face, her eyes wide, staring at her husband in disbelief: "You...you dare hit me?!"

The man didn't care about her at all.

He immediately bowed deeply, almost at a ninety-degree angle, his voice trembling uncontrollably: "Mr. Li! I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! I didn't know that was your sister! My little brat was so ignorant! We apologize! We'll compensate you! Five hundred thousand! No, one million! Please, have mercy!"

The office was deathly quiet.

Stunned by the blow, the woman finally came to her senses and screamed, "You dare hit me?! Hit me for an outsider?! I can't live like this anymore! Divorce!"

The man turned around and glared at her fiercely.

The fear and warning in his eyes silenced her instantly.

She finally realized that something was wrong.

At this moment, the spoiled little boy saw his mother being beaten and his father bowing and scraping to others. Suddenly, he grabbed a pen from the desk and smashed it hard at Miao Miao!

"You bastard! You hit my mom! Go to hell!"

The pen flew towards the seedlings.

The man was terrified. He grabbed his son and slapped him hard across the buttocks several times.

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

The boy was beaten until he cried loudly.

The woman, feeling sorry for him, tried to stop him, but the man roared, "If we keep spoiling him, our whole family will be ruined! Shut up!"

At this moment, Principal Wang finally remembered who Li Yichen was, thanks to the title "President Li" and the man's extreme fear.

Yesterday's headline news.

His net worth is in the tens of billions.

The founder of a future technology that has just shaken the global new energy industry!

He also recalled that the most expensive villas in the nearby luxury villa district belonged to a man surnamed Li.

Cold sweat instantly soaked his back.

Li Yichen then slowly spoke.

The voice was icy.

"Your son," he said, looking at the man, "apologize to my sister first."

The man quickly pressed down on his still crying son, forcing him to face Miaomiao.

"Quick! Apologize to Miaomiao!"

"No! She hit me!" the little boy struggled.

The man raised his hand and slapped her buttocks twice more, hitting her hard.

The little boy cried loudly in pain, finally sobbing as he said to Miaomiao, "I'm...I'm sorry..."

Miao Miao hid behind Li Yichen, her little hands gripping his trouser leg, and whispered, "He snatched my toy first, and then pushed me."

Li Yichen patted Miao Miao's head.

He looked at the pale-faced man, then at Principal Wang, who was sweating profusely.

"Take your family," he told the man, "and leave Shanghai."

Then he turned to Principal Wang.

"You," Li Yichen said calmly, "resign as well. Don't let me see you in Shanghai's education circle again."

The two were struck dumb.

The man's legs went weak, and he almost knelt down.

Principal Wang opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, he didn't utter a single word.

Li Yichen stopped looking at them.

He bent down and picked up Miaomiao, giving a gentle nod to Teacher Wang, who had been trying to protect her.

"Thank you so much, teacher. Miaomiao was frightened, so we'll take her home first and bring her back tomorrow."

Teacher Wang nodded quickly, feeling relieved.

Li Yichen carried Miaomiao and led Li Niannian outside.

He paused as he reached the office door.

Look back.

She said to the man, "That's right."

The man shuddered.

Li Yichen took out his phone and pressed a few buttons.

"I sent some 'materials' to your phone. Take a look when you have time. Maybe it will help you make up your mind to 'handle' your family matters properly."

The man took out his phone with trembling hands.

The screen lights up.

A message from an anonymous number, along with a file package.

He clicked on it.

Inside were explicit chat logs, money transfer records, and multiple hotel booking records between his wife and Principal Wang!

His vision went black, and he almost fainted.

The woman leaned closer to take a look and immediately screamed.

"You...you investigated me?!"

The office descended into chaos once again.

Li Yichen did not linger.

Holding Miaomiao, he led Li Niannian straight away.

In the car.

Miao Miao nestled in his arms and whispered, "Brother, did I do something wrong? I shouldn't have bitten people..."

Li Yichen gently patted her back.

"Miaomiao is not wrong to protect her things."

He paused.

"But if you encounter something like this in the future, you can tell your teacher or your older siblings first."

Miao Miao raised her head, her eyes still red.

"So... was I brave today?"

Li Yichen smiled.

You were very brave today.

Miao Miao buried her face in his arms and stopped talking.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Li Niannian watched the street scenes rushing past the window, and the pent-up anger in her heart finally began to dissipate.

She turned to look at Li Yichen.

"Brother Li, thank you."

Li Yichen did not respond.

He held the steering wheel with one hand and gently patted Miaomiao with the other.

The car drove into the villa area.

As Li Yichen approached his home, his phone vibrated.

He glanced at it.

It was a message from Ling'er.

A cute, chibi-style character with their hands on their hips, looking smug.

The following line of text:

"Brother! The intelligent driving system demo video is ready! It shows a city traffic jam scenario, completely simulating real road conditions. Do you want to watch it now?"

Li Yichen parked the car in the garage.

The engine is turned off.

He looked down at Miaomiao, who was already asleep in his arms.

Then reply.

Send it over.
