Chapter 35

Just as her shouting voice faded, a siren sounded from a distance, growing louder until it disappeared outside the building.

Soon, Mu Yan heard footsteps, clearly indicating that several police officers had arrived.

Yu Jing wasn't afraid of such matters, but the arrival of the police would complicate things. The plans she had made with her daughter would likely fall through, and her daughter would surely be heartbroken. This made her even more dissatisfied with the fat woman, and by extension, with Mu Yan, who had caused the trouble.

"Director Zhang, I didn't expect you to come in person. I'm really sorry to trouble you!" Even before reaching the corridor, the fat woman had already changed her demeanor and greeted him.

Zhang Huangyan was quite frustrated today. He had just finished the tasks assigned by Mayor Zhang and hadn't even had a chance to rest when the director of the Education Bureau, Xu, called.

The Education Bureau had nothing to do with him, let alone a deputy director. However, Director Xu's father was the political commissar of the Municipal Bureau. Although he would retire in two years, he was still Zhang Huangyan's direct superior and an old leader. Zhang Huangyan's promotion to deputy director of the police division was due to his recommendation. Although he wasn't a close confidant of the political commissar, he was still considered one of his people. Director Xu's call naturally had to be answered, at least to show gratitude for his promotion.

From a distance, Zhang Huangyan saw the two handprints on Director Xu's fat face and thought, "No wonder this woman came directly to me; she must have been slapped." He immediately said, "Director Xu, how can I not take your matters seriously? Rest assured, I will handle your affairs impartially!"

Seeing that Director Xu had called the police, Mu Yan thought about calling Zhang Huangyan. After all, he had deceived Zhang Huangyan, and with Zi Xuan's backing, he could probably resolve the situation. However, he didn't expect Zhang Huangyan to be the one who came. He sighed inwardly, "This world is really small!"

Yu Jing also knew that the person who came was Zhang Huangyan. She couldn't help but sigh, "Why is it him? If others don't know, Zhang Huangyan knows the most about the previous misunderstanding. Now that he sees me with Mu Yan, who knows what he might think. But on the other hand, this person is quite tight-lipped. Even if he has the wrong idea, he won't spread it around, so it's not too bad!"

When Zhang Huangyan entered the classroom, he immediately saw Yu Jing sitting on a chair, a girl leaning against her, and Mu Yan stroking the girl's head. It looked like a family of three, but these two parents seemed to have quite a background.

Seeing Zhang Huangyan's somewhat stiff face, Mu Yan smiled and said, "Director Zhang, I didn't expect to see you again so soon. There was a small conflict with Director Xu just now. I didn't expect Director Xu to call you. Xiao Jing accidentally sprained her ankle, and Yuxi is just a child. If you need to take this matter to the station, let them go first, and I'll accompany you!"

Zhang Huangyan, seeing Mu Yan's demeanor, didn't dare to take him to the station. He immediately put on a smile, "Oh, Mr. Zhang, what you're saying! It's just a small matter, why go to the station!"

Seeing Zhang Huangyan's change in attitude, Director Xu was taken aback. She was also a part of the system and had known Zhang Huangyan for a long time. His demeanor clearly indicated that the other party had a significant background, so significant that Zhang Huangyan would rather offend her father than him.

At this point, Director Xu was truly intimidated. She had heard from Principal Wang about Yu Jing's background. She had thought Yu Jing was just a wealthy woman, and her father was a big shot. The big company bosses would be polite to him. But the person who slapped her, though dressed simply, had a presence and demeanor that clearly wasn't ordinary. He might be a young master from a prominent family, and the stunningly beautiful woman was likely his exclusive possession.

Yu Jing was genuinely surprised by Mu Yan's performance just now, and she overlooked Director Xu's changing expression. If she knew what Director Xu was thinking, she would probably be furious.

Zhang Huangyan chatted with Mu Yan for a moment, saw Director Xu's expression, and knew she had realized something was wrong. He didn't want to make the situation worse, so he immediately pulled Director Xu out of the classroom.

Director Xu, now without her usual arrogance, followed Zhang Huangyan out. Once outside, she regained her composure and asked, "Director Zhang, tell me, does that Mr. Mu have a significant background?"

Zhang Huangyan, out of respect for his old leader, kindly warned, "Director Xu, don't blame me for not helping you today. That person is someone I truly can't afford to offend. Don't ask me who he is. To be honest, I don't know, or rather, I don't have the right to know. You know that woman inside, right?"

"Isn't she the president of Fenghua Company? How could she have a significant background?" Director Xu asked.

"Indeed, she is the president of Fenghua Group, but she is also the daughter of the former Mayor Yu, who retired last year. Although Mayor Yu has retired, he still has considerable influence. However, even so, she is just one of Mr. Mu's women, and not even the most important one. Do you understand, Director Xu?" Zhang Huangyan said.

Hearing this, Director Xu was truly intimidated. Mayor Yu was a ministerial-level official, even if a deputy, still higher than her father. Not to mention the man, no wonder he dared to slap her and act as if nothing had happened; he simply didn't care.

Seeing that Director Xu was truly afraid, Zhang Huangyan breathed a sigh of relief. He had deliberately exaggerated Mu Yan's background to make her back off. Now that his goal was achieved, he knew he wouldn't be in a difficult position.

"This time, I owe you, Director Zhang, for your warning. Otherwise, I would have caused trouble!" Director Xu said, still shaken.

Zhang Huangyan smiled and said, "No problem. I only learned about Mr. Mu by chance. It's our luck. Let's resolve this matter and make it a small issue."

"Good! Let's do it that way!" Director Xu agreed.

After reaching an agreement, Zhang Huangyan smiled and led Director Xu back to the classroom.

Seeing that Director Xu no longer had her usual domineering attitude, even the teacher realized that she had backed down. This was for the best; at least he wouldn't be disciplined.

"Director Xu and I just had a chat. We found out that it was just a misunderstanding. Director Xu's intention is to let this matter go. Mr. Mu, Ms. Yu, what do you think?" Zhang Huangyan said with a smile upon returning.

"Director Zhang, this matter can't just be let go!" Mu Yan immediately rejected it.

Hearing Mu Yan's rejection, Zhang Huangyan's face stiffened, and Director Xu turned pale, thinking, "Not good, this Mr. Mu is going to finish me off!"
