The principal's face abruptly changed at the words uttered by the general. His pale face looked like he was going through a middle-aged crisis.
It was not just the principal. The atmosphere in the entire office had changed as well. A few leaders looked at each other in dismay.
"This… General Zhan…"
The principal's head was buzzing. He was momentarily unable to articulate any words clearly to justify himself. Right at this moment, the Director of Education had arrived in a hurry.
The principal looked at the Director of Education as if he was his saving grace. With a face full of anxiety, he said, "Director, you're here! I, I do not know what I've done wrong. I believe General Zhan must have misunderstood me in some way! My contributions to the educational career…"
"Keep quiet!" The director said imposingly, his expression serious.
Zhan Muqian was expressionless. He only held the silky soft hand of the girl beside him as he walked out in huge strides.
Believing that the man was angry, the director chased after them in fear. "General… General Zhan, this issue has been caused by my inability to fulfill my obligations. What will your instructions be regarding this?…"
Zhan Muqian cast a cold gaze toward the principal and the few school leaders.
"This Prestige High School is still ranked among the best in Jincheng, yet there is a group of elderly people bullying an underaged girl. It seems like your role as the Director of Education has been a little too comfortable."
"This…" The director's face turned deathly white. He was unable to determine the identity of this young girl that Zhan Muqian was holding onto right at the moment. This powerful and brilliant general was consistently never close to women, and was always aloof and remote. Since when did one ever see him this nervous for a bystander?
It did not matter if she was his relative or if they had some ambiguous cryptic connection, this fair girl was already his beloved baby.
"We've neglected our duty! We will definitely conduct a thorough investigation about this serious problem in Prestige High School's management. We will make sure that the staff who failed to do their duty will be punished severely and forced to leave! I hope you will calm down from your anger, general…"
The director had yet to finish his reverent and respectful words, but General Zhan and the unknown girl had already speedily disappeared from their line of sight.
The principal looked like he had been struck by lightning and was about to be completely paralyzed. He looked at the director.
However, the director's complexion was icy. "You could have offended anyone, but why did you have to offend him?!"
"You… You have to protect me!!"
The director's expression looked even worse than a ghost. "Protect you? From the King of Hell who even the President has to yield to some degree? How can I protect you? If he says a single word to the higher-ups, even the entire school might close down!"
Zhan Qiyou stood there awkwardly. Jiang Li reached out, tugging at him as she hoped to leave as soon as possible.
The director knew Zhan Qiyou. He hurriedly asked, "Young Master Zhan, the girl just now… Do you know what her relationship with General Zhan is?"
Jiang Li was extremely afraid that Zhan Qiyou would be weak in his willpower and blurt out Jiang Mianmian's identity. If that happened, the entire school would soon know that Jiang Mianmian was actually the president's daughter!
She smiled. "Uncle, Qiyou and I aren't sure either. You should know that Qiyou's uncle is always busy with the armed forces for long periods. He rarely interacts with Qiyou…"
Zhan Qiyou did not say a word as his heart was still clouded in an indescribable turmoil.
He undoubtedly liked Jiang Li. Jiang Li's personality and character were more than just a little better than Mianmian.
Marrying Jiang Li…. meant that he would definitely receive support from the presidential palace in the future.
If it was Jiang Mianmian… A domineering and headstrong daughter that could not be controlled even by the President, would not be regarded highly in the presidential palace.
The person he liked was Jiang Li…
Jiang Li was so pretty.
But why did he feel so frustrated and was even prepared to kill someone when second uncle walked out hand in hand with Mianmian?
