Chapter 642 - 317: Principal: Feed Me Purple Eggs, Feed Me Purple Eggs! (8k-word Mega - )_3

In the military, this great melting pot, the camaraderie is more important than anything else; it’s like the bones are broken, but the tendons are still connected.

Not to mention Wang Zihao’s dad, such an outstanding person, you’d know just by guessing that his comrades are surely just as outstanding.

People like that, no one really knows how high they can climb, if there’s someone with extraordinary talents or perhaps a second generation.

How bold they are!

Trying to compose himself, Yang Shu cautiously asked: "And your mother?"

"My mother is a police officer. Then one day she went to catch a criminal, and then..."

A trace of confusion flashed in Wang Zihao’s eyes: "And then she was gone."

Silence.

A deathly silence.

Everyone looked at Wang Zihao, their lips were dry, and they couldn’t utter a single word.

Unlike them, though they couldn’t speak, the viewers in the live stream were exploding.

"This isn’t some ordinary impoverished student, this is clearly a descendant of martyrs, the whole family is full of heroes!"

"Oh my God, I thought his father was already impressive, already granted him a Protective Talisman, but who would have thought his whole family is like this!"

"To put it mildly, I seriously suspect this homeroom teacher wants to eat poison eggplants. I suggest we skip the review and just execute him."

"Let me do the execution, I wouldn’t trust anyone else, they might dodge the bullet at the last second, I want to step on his head and give him a shot."

"..."

It’s not just Guo Yi, the principal’s forehead was also covered with sweat, his heart was racing.

He only had one feeling now, that the sky had fallen.

The heart that was already hanging by a thread seemed dead beyond revival at this point.

Although he had navigated the bureaucratic world for over a decade, familiar with all sorts of social niceties, not saying he had the guts to stay calm when the sky fell, but his ability to maintain his composure was top-notch.

But now he was completely defenseless, his back drenched in cold sweat.

Honestly, he didn’t care about who Wang Zihao was, he only cared if he could get through this.

But when that first-class merit medal came out, his heart just sank.

Once Wang Zihao finished explaining the situation, he was gone for quite a while.

If it was just some city officials visiting, he might still have a chance to address some issues.

But now it’s directly provincial leaders, with the TV station live broadcasting, he really couldn’t think of how to resolve this situation!

At this moment, Wang Zihao’s emotions broke again, his grief-stricken voice echoed in the silent cafeteria, like a stone thrown into a lake, causing ripples.

"Teacher, I’m begging you, I really miss my dad so much..."

"He was unkind, saying stuff like protecting the country, putting the country before family, and just left me so ruthlessly. If he were still here, could I talk to him about my grievances? I really, really miss him..."

"I don’t care if I get bullied at school, ignored by teachers, none of that matters, I just want my dad back..."

Thud!

Guo Yi couldn’t hold it anymore, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.

It’s over!

Everything is over!

As soon as those words were uttered, he realized today was the end for him here.

Bam!

Right after, there was another loud noise.

The principal couldn’t keep his balance, took a step forward, got caught on the corner of a table, and fell hard to the ground.

Bullying the descendant of a hero, isolating him, not allowing him to worship his father on the hero’s memorial day...

These issues don’t even need embellishment with flashy headlines, they’re already sensational.

Provincial leaders, live broadcast...

It’s over!

Completely over!

With a thud, Wang Zihao knelt down before Guo Yi, his eyes filled with tears:

"Teacher, I’m begging you, just grant me a leave today, I really miss my dad."

"As long as you let me take a leave today, I’ll do anything, I’ll be good. Even if my classmates beat me up even more, I won’t resist or destroy school facilities again."

"I can also promise not to report those leaders connected to the cafeteria, really, I promise!"

At this moment, Guo Yi wished the ground would open up and swallow him, allowing him to live out the rest of his life there.

His heart felt like a slab of ice, looking at Wang Zihao in front of him, only feeling inexplicably lost.

What kind of teacher?

You’re the real teacher here!

Buddy, seriously, with a background like that, why didn’t you say anything earlier?

Back when the school was gathering information, why didn’t you just speak the truth?

Dude, stop it, I beg you...

He didn’t want to eat poison eggplants!

"Usually in school, between students, there’s an 80 phenomenon?" Yang Shu’s voice was cold and piercing.

"No, absolutely not!"

At this moment, Guo Yi responded without hesitation, his tone firm and more resolute than a sage’s.

Even if such a thing really existed, he absolutely couldn’t admit it!

Even if it were true, the leaders would quietly understand, but it could not be spoken.

Otherwise, not only would he be unable to protect himself, but it would also be a great embarrassment for the leaders.

"During normal days, when his studies fell behind, I arranged for classmates with better grades to tutor him after class, but he usually is in such a state of mind, the results aren’t ideal."

"Children these days are at their most aggressive stage, maybe someone said something harsh while tutoring him, who knows how, but he overthought and it became a matter of classmates bullying him."

Truth be told, even as Guo Yi’s mind was close to crumbling, such lies came out instinctively as if part of his nature.

The most important part was that his explanation was not only not far-fetched but made lots of sense.

After all, from the moment Wang Zihao appeared until now, he basically hasn’t had stable emotions.

Guo Yi’s explanation completely stood its ground.

Hearing this relatively reasonable excuse, Yang Shu’s somber demeanor finally eased a bit.
