Chapter 10: In Suzaku, there is a Bao Qingtian, who is impartial and discerns right from wrong!

"What?" Fang Yan could hardly believe his ears.

"Keep up the act, you continue to act." Lu Chaoge sneered inwardly.

She picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip, then looked at Fang Yan with interest and said, "Someone has complained that you beat a student. Is this true?"

"Such a thing could happen?" Fang Yan looked heartbroken and unable to accept it. "How could that be? I am a teacher, how could I beat my own students?"

"The information I received is just that. Fang Yan, you have a responsibility to give me an explanation. Additionally, the complainant wants to pursue criminal charges against you—"

Fang Yan's face turned ashen, his heart heavy with weariness. He said, "I never expected this. I never expected this— I worked hard to protect them, to keep them from harm. I thought that was what a good teacher, a qualified teacher, should do. I never thought they would treat me like this."

"I am very sad, more so heartbroken. How can students be like this nowadays? Don't they have any sense of responsibility or duty? Don't they understand the value of gratitude? What kind of behavior is this? This is like the story of Mr. Dongguo and the wolf. I, this poor Mr. Dongguo, have encountered a pack of ingrates."

"Teacher Fang Yan— Fang Yan, don't get so worked up." Lu Chaoge tried to calm Fang Yan down and said, "What is the truth of the matter? What exactly happened?"

"It happened like this." Fang Yan licked his lips and said, "The story is a bit long. Can I have a drink of water?— You sit, you sit, I'll pour it myself."

"——" Lu Chaoge felt very wronged. She hadn't intended to get up at all.

Fang Yan went to pour himself a cup of hot water and brought it to Lu Chaoge, asking, "Do you have any tea leaves? Give me a few. I'm used to it; plain water tastes bland."

Lu Chaoge looked at him for a few seconds, then threw her tea can from the drawer to him.

Fang Yan opened the tea can and sniffed it, praising, "Good tea. This year's new pre-rain Longjing, only the buds, worth a fortune. The tea maker is a master, neither too dry nor too tender, just right."

Lu Chaoge looked at Fang Yan in surprise, thinking he was a tea connoisseur.

Fang Yan picked a few tea leaves and put them in his disposable cup, then returned the tea can to Lu Chaoge and asked, "Where were we? Right, the tea maker is a master, neither too dry nor too tender—"

Lu Chaoge tapped her fingers on the table and said, "I didn't bring you here to taste tea. Someone has accused you of beating a student, and you need to give me an explanation."

"Right, right. It's about this." Fang Yan said. "This is a case of pointing a deer and calling it a horse. I feel very wronged."

"Hmm?"

"This incident is not about a teacher punishing a student, but about a teacher being beaten by students." Fang Yan glanced at Lu Chaoge with a proud and cold look. "You must find it hard to believe, right? Before today, I couldn't believe it either. Suzaku High School is one of the best private high schools in Huaxia. I came here with a reputation, thinking of dedicating my youth and body to this prestigious school and to you. If we have children in the future—"

Slap—

Lu Chaoge's face turned red, and she slapped the table, shouting angrily, "Who wants to have children with you?"

"Don't misunderstand." Fang Yan waved his hands. "I mean, if I have children in the future, and you have children, and we all have children— I will send my children to Suzaku High School to study. As a parent, I hope my children can receive the best education. However, Suzaku High School is very disappointing. Teachers beating students, this is against human nature, it's intolerable."

"Who beat you?" Lu Chaoge's chest heaved. She knew she was being teased by this guy, but there were no loopholes in his words. If she tried to pursue it, she would only make herself more embarrassed.

"Three students from Class 9, Zheng Guodong, Li Yang, and Chen Tao. They skipped class to drink and came into the classroom drunk. I told them to come back after they sobered up, but they started cursing and said that when they were happy, I was their teacher, but when they were unhappy, I was just a pile of shit— Am I shit? No, I'm not. I'm not shit, but they called me shit, which is an insult."

Lu Chaoge fell silent.

The school trustee had called, saying that his son and two other students were harassed by the new teacher, who beat them up without provocation. His son was severely injured and was being treated in the school infirmary.

Worse still, Li Yang was the son of the school's head of discipline, and Chen Tao's father, Chen Dahai, was the math teacher and head of Class 9.

If all three parties insisted that Fang Yan had beaten the students, Fang Yan would be at a significant disadvantage.

"Do you have any evidence?" Lu Chaoge asked.

"Evidence? What evidence could I have?" Fang Yan said angrily. "I am the evidence, the students who beat me are the evidence. All the students in the class are the evidence— They cursed and a student stood up for me, got his forehead broken, and his glasses shattered. All of these are evidence."

"But those three students seem to be seriously injured as well." Lu Chaoge pointed out.

"They originally wanted to beat me, but somehow they ended up fighting among themselves. They started fighting in front of the whole class— I couldn't even stop them." Fang Yan shook his head. "These students— how can their quality be so low?"

Lu Chaoge looked at Fang Yan and asked, "Do you know who Zheng Guodong's father is?"

"Identity? What identity?" Fang Yan asked in confusion. "In front of a teacher, they are only the parents of students. Just because his father is the principal, vice-principal, or trustee, should I treat them differently? No, I can't. My conscience doesn't allow it, and my professional ethics don't allow it."

"Do you even have professional ethics?" Lu Chaoge thought secretly.

Fang Yan seemed to realize something and asked nervously, "What is Zheng Guodong's father's identity?"

"He is the school trustee, the largest investor." Lu Chaoge said.

Fang Yan straightened his chest and said firmly, "No wonder Zheng Guodong is so arrogant and disrespectful. Another real-life case of 'My dad is Li Gang.' Comrades ruin friendship, madams ruin beauty, and unscrupulous fathers ruin their children."

Lu Chaoge looked at Fang Yan and asked, "What do you plan to do?"

"I believe Principal Lu will give me justice. I have never doubted that." Fang Yan said.

Lu Chaoge inwardly resented it. How could you have the nerve to push this mess onto me, a woman?

However, Lu Chaoge couldn't get out of it.

As the vice-principal in charge of school personnel, she was the one who would decide whether Fang Yan would stay or leave.

From Fang Yan's explanation, Lu Chaoge knew he was in the right. Besides, she had some understanding of the character of the trustee's son.

The three school rascals, this group was well-known in Suzaku High School.

However, now the trustee's son had been beaten. If they didn't get an explanation, the trustee would not let it go.

After a moment's thought, Lu Chaoge made up her mind and said, "White is white, and black is black. I will investigate this matter and determine who should bear what responsibility— who must bear what responsibility."

"I knew it." Fang Yan was delighted.

"Knew what?"

"Suzaku has a Bao Qingtian, who is impartial and discerns right from wrong."

"What did you say?" Lu Chaoge's face darkened.

"You're not as dark as him." Fang Yan quickly explained.

"——"

"He's not as white as you."

"——"
