Rao Jie briefly spoke to Long Yong before hanging up the phone. Although Rao Jie talking to Long Yong made Wu Rong a bit unhappy, he was quite satisfied with how Rao Jie pretended to be strong in front of Long Yong. It was good that only he could see Rao Jie’s vulnerable side.
Driving with one hand, he reached out to hold Rao Jie’s hand and said, “Don’t be afraid, just listen to me.” The fragile Rao Jie couldn’t help but squeeze Wu Rong’s hand back, but after a moment, Wu Rong released her hand and continued driving seriously.
When they arrived at the Principal's Office, there were already many people inside. Jiang Chuchu was among them. She kept her head down and remained silent, not even glancing at Rao Jie when she entered.
The principal quickly introduced Wu Rong and Rao Jie to the members of the Inspection Team. Of course, the focus was on Wu Rong. Although he wasn’t a formal employee of the school, he was their golden asset and absolutely could not be tarnished by rumors. The Inspection Team members were impressed by Wu Rong’s recent award, marveling at such talent.
They treated Wu Rong with a degree of courtesy. However, since this incident involved teacher-student relationships and had severe implications, they had no choice but to intervene.
“We need to investigate this matter thoroughly to avoid any harmful rumors that could hurt innocent people,” Ye Ming said.
“Hold on a moment; not everyone is here yet!” the principal replied, looking puzzled at his son, fearing he might cause more trouble.
Before long, they heard police sirens from downstairs. The Inspection Team members were startled and looked at Ye Ming in confusion. “Director Ye, did you call the police?”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuchu’s expression changed as she finally looked at Rao Jie, her eyes filled with deep resentment.
The principal frowned and said, “Ye Ming, what are you doing?”
Wu Rong stepped forward and explained, “This is my decision. My reputation has been damaged due to someone deliberately spreading rumors and harming my name. I believe I have the right to call the police for protection. The damage to my reputation is something someone needs to compensate for.”
This was something no one had anticipated; aside from celebrities, ordinary people in the country generally didn’t take such matters seriously.
Ye Ming continued, "We have also notified Jiang Chuchu's parents to come. This matter is significant; it concerns the century-old reputation of our school, and we must investigate it thoroughly."
Jiang Chuchu's face turned genuinely terrible at this news. However, she was not without courage. Biting her lip, she mustered her bravery and said, "What you are doing is just intimidation, a threat to make me back down and not report them, right? Do whatever you want; I’m not afraid!"
Rao Jie felt a pang of sadness. It was truly ridiculous how far their friendship had fallen. Wu Rong couldn't even be bothered to glance at her.
Ye Ming smiled and said, "Classmate Jiang, think about it this way: if the investigation proves you are right, those two will be disgraced. Wouldn't that make you feel even more vindicated? If what you say is true, we will definitely ensure you receive justice and the Graduate School Recommendation you deserve. With members of the Inspection Team here, we wouldn't dare mislead you."
Though still a bit frightened, Jiang Chuchu refused to back down. Her determination was just right for both Wu Rong and Ye Ming.
Before long, Shi Tiankai arrived in his police uniform with his subordinates at the Principal's Office. The sight of the conspicuous police car had already drawn a crowd of students outside the office building, though they could not come inside.
Wei Qian also arrived in time, reporting the situation to Wu Xin while searching for her boyfriend, He Jin. After some effort, she finally found him—only to see him with Bao Ming.
