Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 536: Chapter 535: The Three Principals Are Waiting

Secretary Lin said coldly, ”You’re about to take people away and now you say you don’t know? Director Fang, doesn’t this count as a violation? If we had come a little later, might they have committed illegal acts?”

Director Fang’s complexion turned extremely ugly. He glared fiercely at Chen Zili and gritted his teeth, ”Take Chen Zili and his group back with me. I want an immediate investigation into tonight’s events. Any violation, no matter how small, will be met with severe punishment!”

Several people immediately ran out from behind Director Fang and took the nearly collapsed Chen Zili and others away.

”Director Fang, I will follow up on this matter to the end,” Secretary Lin said coldly. ”I hope that Nanluo City can provide a satisfactory response.”

Director Fang, with his head bowed, didn’t dare to speak. In truth, even if Secretary Lin wasn’t monitoring the situation, he wouldn’t dare to show favoritism to these people. After all, the protagonist of this incident was Su Yang. Would he dare to provoke Su Yang?

Only then did Secretary Lin turn to Su Yang and immediately show a respectful face, ”Master Su, shall we go upstairs first? The principals of the three prestigious schools are all waiting up there. What do you say...”

”There’s no hurry,” Su Yang said with a faint smile. ”Let them wait a little longer.”

The expressions of everyone in the room changed. How important must Su Yang be to make the principals of the three top schools wait? Who exactly was he to commit such a brazen act?

Secretary Lin looked slightly stunned but dared not say anything. Indeed, Su Yang had the confidence to make those people wait.

”Wang Shao, isn’t it time to deal with the matter between us?” Su Yang said with a light smile, looking at Wang Shao.

Wang Shao was now almost shrinking into a corner. After seeing the people behind Secretary Lin, he knew the situation had become troublesome. He wished he could disappear into thin air and escape the current predicament.

But as the main figure in today’s incident, how could Su Yang let him off the hook?

Everyone in the room turned their gazes toward Wang Shao, a person once fawned upon by all schoolmates, admired as the true scion of a wealthy family.

No one knew the identities of the people behind Secretary Lin, nor the extent of the difference in their statuses. They all wondered whether the influence of Wang Shao’s family could resolve the current difficult situation.

Hope still flickered in Feng Lan’s eyes, wishing that the power of Wang Shao’s family could suppress Su Yang. That way, Su Yang would be finished today, and she could get some satisfaction.

However, Wang Shao quickly dashed her hopes. Trembling all over, he said with a quivering voice, ”I’m sorry... it was my fault...”

”I certainly know it was your fault,” Su Yang said. ”What I’m saying is, didn’t you just claim that if my friend could come, you would kneel and kowtow to me?”

Wang Shao was suddenly taken aback. He had only said that offhand. He hadn’t expected Su Yang to remember so clearly.

If he truly knelt and kowtowed in front of so many people, where would he ever put his face in the future?

”Mr... Mr. Su, don’t joke around...” Wang Shao said, laughing awkwardly.

Su Yang spoke in a cold voice, ”What are you to joke with me?”

Wang Shao’s face turned pale as he glanced at the people behind him and gritted his teeth, ”I admit I was wrong about what happened just now, but I’ve apologized. What... what more do you want? Don’t push people too far. I... my Wang Family isn’t easy to bully...”

”Just now, you kept saying I had no manners or upbringing, and even called someone to deal with me, to finish me off. Now you want me to forgive you just because you said sorry?” Su Yang replied coldly, ”Your Wang Family isn’t easy to bully, but does that mean I am easy to bully, to be pushed around by you at will?”

”So... what exactly do you want?” Wang Shao asked through gritted teeth, his complexion uglier than ever, knowing that this matter wouldn’t be so easy to resolve. Yet, when he thought about his family’s background, even if he was at a disadvantage, could Su Yang really corner him with no way out?

Su Yang chuckled, ”Since you said you’d kneel down and apologize, of course, you should do what you promised.”

”You... don’t go too far...” Wang Shao’s face was ice-cold as he said through gritted teeth, ”To make me kneel before you, that would only happen over my dead body!”

”Is that so?” Su Yang said with a light laugh, leisurely speaking, ”I heard your Wang Family has power and influence in Nanluo City, with just a word, you could shut down Sister Liu Liu’s bar. With just a word, you could also cost Qi Qi her job.”

”Honestly, I’m very curious, what does your family do exactly? Where do you get such confidence from?”

Su Yang smiled and said, ”Secretary Lin, what do you think?”

”This is a society ruled by law, where everything must follow regulations and abide by the law!” Secretary Lin spoke in a cold voice, ”No matter their family or their power, if they commit illegal acts, they must be severely punished! Director Ding, this matter of Miss Qi Qi being fired, go and investigate it, and give me a response immediately.”

”Yes!” A middle-aged man immediately stepped out and scurried off to see to the task.

Wang Shao was stunned; he knew Director Ding, who was also an old friend of his father. But now, Director Ding didn’t even give him a glance and went straight to investigate. Could it be that he had no recollection of their past friendship?

It didn’t take long for Director Ding to rush back, speaking in a low voice, ”I’ve just checked the records, and Miss Dong’s dismissal was indeed procedurally irregular. Therefore, her dismissal doesn’t count!”

Secretary Lin’s expression turned frosty as he looked sternly at Director Ding, ”If it was against the rules, then why was Miss Dong dismissed? What exactly is going on with your side?”

Director Ding was sweating profusely; he actually knew about it. But it was Wang Shao’s father who had personally engineered it, seizing on some minor issues with Dong Qiqi, blowing them out of proportion, and citing supposed work mistakes as an excuse to fire her.

The dismissal was indeed a breach of procedure. However, if no one investigated, other departments would turn a blind eye, as no one would want to clash with Wang Shao’s father over a mere teacher.

But now the matter had escalated, with Secretary Lin inquiring personally. At this moment, how could Director Ding dare to tell anymore lies?

Director Ding took a deep breath and said in a low voice, ”Actually, our side hadn’t approved this matter yet, and it was the school that dismissed Miss Dong against regulations.”

”I don’t want to hear you shirking responsibility here. Investigate this matter thoroughly for me at once. Everyone involved needs to be checked to the last detail. Not only must you investigate their mistakes in this case, but their other actions must also be thoroughly scrutinized.”

Secretary Lin spoke with a cold voice, ”Since they dare to treat Miss Dong this way, who knows how many other rules they might have broken! Such a harmful influence to the community must be dealt with severely, without the slightest leniency!”
