Celestial Night Emperor

Chapter 215: Chapter 215: Weiwei Wakes Up

The principal nearly fell to his knees.

He knew he had made a huge mistake. He shouldn’t have given that damn vice-principal the authorization. Niannian’s information was supposed to be absolutely confidential!

”Evergreen Ivy Primary School’s entire leadership, from top to bottom, will be dismissed and replaced!”

”Every teacher will be investigated for any signs of corporal punishment. A single incident will result in immediate dismissal, notification across the entire system, and revocation of their teaching license!”

Ye Mingzhu and Gandong Mountain, standing on either side, issued their respective orders to handle the situation.

At this, the female teacher from Class Two was stunned.

Ye Mingzhu finally looked at her. ”So you’re the one who hit Miss Niannian?”

”No, I didn’t! I really didn’t!” The female teacher wailed, sobbing and proclaiming her innocence.

”Pull up the classroom’s security footage!” Ye Mingzhu roared.

The principal wiped his sweat again. ”President Ye, that segment of the video has been deleted. W-what do we do?”

Ye Mingzhu sneered. ’You think deleting it solves the problem?’ She took out her phone. ”Order all of Longyue Group’s computer experts to come here right now. Whoever can recover the data from the security footage gets a tenfold year-end bonus!”

A handsome reward is sure to attract a brave soul. Given the sheer scale of the Longyue Group, hundreds of experts rushed over, and in just a short while, they had restored the data.

The restored security footage revealed that not only had the teacher hit Niannian, but every child in the class—except for Liu Qin’s son—had been beaten by her!

The female teacher let out a cry and collapsed to the floor. This was her last resort: playing dead.

’They’re all powerful men here,’ she thought. ’They wouldn’t actually hit me, right?’

All she wanted now was to save her own skin.

Ye Mingzhu glanced at her and smiled faintly. ”You’re quite practiced at playing dead, aren’t you? Men, send this video to the mothers of every child in Class Two. Then, hand this teacher of ours over to those mothers!”

This move was truly ruthless!

Even Qin Tianxuan hadn’t expected it.

The video of the teacher hitting the children had already exploded in the social media groups for Class Two’s elite families.

Those mothers rushed to the school in a fury.

Who were they?

They were the wives of wealthy tycoons, the spouses of powerful officials, and even the mistresses of underworld bosses.

Not a single one of these women was to be trifled with.

The teacher was dragged out screaming and thrown directly in front of that group of women.

SLAP!

SLAP!

THUD!

Before the teacher could even react, she was slapped more than a dozen times, and one mother even started kicking her with a high-heeled shoe...

The scene became extremely gratifying!

Inside the school building, Qin Tianxuan watched this unfold and nodded at Ye Mingzhu. ”Well handled!”

Ye Mingzhu was thrilled.

This was the first time Mr. Qin had praised her.

And in front of so many people, too.

But thinking of Prince, she couldn’t help but approach him. ”Sir, if you think I handled this well, could you give me a reward?”

’She’s daring to ask for a reward?’

Qin Tianxuan smiled faintly. ”My subordinates are always rewarded and punished according to their merits. What reward do you want?”

Ye Mingzhu took a deep breath. ”I... I want to plead for Prince. He didn’t handle Niannian’s school matter well, but he’s been extremely busy lately. Many things can only be resolved when the Marquis personally intervenes. I hope you won’t punish him, Sir.”

Qin Tianxuan watched her with a smile. ”You’re certainly good to Prince. Why do I get the feeling you two are dating?”

Ye Mingzhu’s face turned red. ”N-No, we’re not.”

Qin Tianxuan turned. ”Have Prince come in!”

Prince appeared shortly after, glancing at Ye Mingzhu with a somewhat nervous expression.

Qin Tianxuan’s tone was mild. ”You handled Niannian’s schooling very poorly. Have I given you too much to do these days? Are you overwhelmed?”

”No, it was my failure!” Prince was filled with shame. ”I am willing to accept my punishment.”

Qin Tianxuan nodded. ”I really should punish you properly!”

Ye Mingzhu’s face went pale with fright, and she didn’t dare say a word.

Just then, Qin Tianxuan’s tone suddenly shifted. He pointed a finger at Ye Mingzhu. ”I sentence you to a day off to take Mingzhu on a date. Are you willing?”

Ah!!

Prince and Ye Mingzhu instantly blushed, finally realizing that their boss had already seen through their relationship.

Both of them were acting shy and awkward.

Qin Tianxuan clapped Prince on the shoulder. ”You should cherish her. And there’s no need to be so secretive. Why hide something like this from me? Did you think I would object?”

”Thank you. Thank you, Sir.” Prince’s heart filled with warmth.

Qin Tianxuan smiled. ”As long as you are sure of your feelings, don’t hesitate. You two have both been through dark times. Understanding each other is what matters most.”

Prince sighed softly. ”Actually, it seems the brothers don’t really approve.”

”Oh? What are their thoughts?”

”The brothers all feel... feel that Mingzhu isn’t good enough for me.”

Prince commanded the God of Wealth Hall, a position second only to one and above tens of thousands. Moreover, the Marquis’s reputation was known throughout Da Xia’s business circles. For him to suddenly fall for Ye Mingzhu, a woman with an unclear background, it was inevitable that it would arouse suspicion among the leaders of the Five Palaces and Nine Armies.

Qin Tianxuan’s expression turned serious. ”Prince, you too fell from grace once, living like neither a human nor a ghost. Having gone through that, you should understand Ye Mingzhu’s story better than anyone. I investigated her when I took her in. She has hidden nothing!”

These words moved both Prince and Ye Mingzhu deeply.

’Indeed, Sir is the one who understands them best.’

”I will support you in this matter!” Qin Tianxuan declared, settling the issue. ”The brothers will come around. I believe they will offer you their blessings as well.”

Prince’s eyes reddened. ”Sir, you need to move on, too. Lady Shuanghua is gone now. Madam Weiwei has very deep feelings for you, we all know that. Please don’t reject her affection anymore.”

Qin Tianxuan waved his hand dismissively. ”Say no more.”

He personally saw Prince and Ye Mingzhu out, having given them the day off.

Watching them leave, sweetly holding hands, Qin Tianxuan couldn’t help but think of Weiwei.

Unconsciously, Han Biwei had already left a deep impression on his heart.

The school matter was settled. He pulled himself together and called Lingsu from the Celestial Medicine Hall. ”Niannian is slightly injured. I’m bringing her to Shenghua Hospital in a bit. Can you take a look at her?”

Lingsu quickly agreed, then said in an excited tone, ”Sir, I have some wonderful news to tell you! Madam Weiwei... she has finally woken up!”
