The way to the principal office was in total silence. The students lost in their own thoughts. Zhong Hu and Meng Min hearts' racing while Gao Hong was plotting how to get out of the situation. While Zhong Hu and Meng Min might be smarter on paper - Gao Hong was a master manipulator. She was gifted with great acting skills and had a way of knowing what made people tick.
When Mr. Yi knocked on the door and was gIvan permission to enter all of them walked into the room in single file. Surprisingly, the principal didn't start yelling instead he put on an energetic smile that served to draw attention to his large mustache.Rushing from his chair to stand in front of them.
" Ah,Miss Shen, can I say how glad I am that you are joining our school." Principal Wen flattered as he shook Shen Xue's hand." I hope you had no trouble making your way around the school. Why don't you wait in the adjoining room while I deal with some students."
Seeing Principal Wen's overzealous behavior Gao Hong and her friends realized that Shen Xue was from an influential family.
" Thank you for your warm welcome, Principal Wen. Unfortunately, on my way to your office I encountered some unpleasant business concerning my friend who was being bullied."Although Shen Xue didn't like favoritism she knew how to play a situation in her favor. Right now Principal Wen was trying to win the Shen Family's favor and please them after her father made a generous donation to the school. So why shouldn't she help Song Xia?

Wen Huolin felt terrified and went to appease this little ancestor. He even felt dreadfully unhappy. Too soon had happiness come and left. Who was Shen Xue?The Princess of the Shen Family had decided to come to his school and on the first day she witnessed her friend being bullied. He felt as if someone was conspiring against him!
Quickly he needed to say something to appease this little ancestor or the big ancestor would stop with his generous donations. Mr. Shen had given 5 Million Yuan to the school!He had never dreamed of so much money. What if Shen Xue complains to her father and the donations stop! Then he would not have enough tears even if he wanted to cry all his life!
"Oh,something like that happened? Don't worry we have some good policies and strict rules at G City . We do not tolerate bullying!" Jin Yu almost snort out loud at Principal Wen's tone. Right some great policies she thought. Then , why was Song Xia mercilessly bullied last year without any consequences?
Even Mr. Yi raised his eyebrow when he saw the school principal's behavior.
" Teacher Yi, can you tell me what happened?"
Anxiously looking at the other man.
Taking a deep breath Mr. Yi took out his phone and said," At 7:23 a.m. Song Xia from my class report that she was being slandered in the hallway and online. I'm not sure what happened from there . Principal if you could open the school forum on the computer and give the students a chance to explain we can go from there."

Principal Wen and Mr.Yi were shocked by the malicious accusations against Song Xia and were impressed at Song Xia's way of handling things.
While the two were looking at the forum Gao Hong came up with her plan to save herself.
" Principal Wen, Teacher Yi . I have no intention of bullying anyone. I'm happy that the rumors on the forum about my foster sister weren't true.I just confront her to ask for the truth."
Large teary eyes ,a slightly pitiful and frightened expression that could move hearts . Gao Hong Master actress was in action. The perfect white lotus that most people could be deceived.
Looking at her expression Principal Wen felt this little girl couldn't be a bully. Rather Meng Min a fierce character who shouted and aggressive was was more likely the real culprit. So he just nodded before replying . " Student all will be revealed in due time. Firstly let's find out who posted these rumors online and then take it from there."
Meng Min at this time was dumbstruck at Gao Hong's behavior at shirking the blame. It was Gao Hong who told her all the rumors! It was Gao Bong who told her to secretly enter the Computer Labs and write on the school forum ! It was all Gao Hong's idea!

At this time the only sound in the room was the clinking of Principal Wen on the keyboard. The IP address was from the school's computer lab so Principal Wen logged into the security-system .The hallway in front of the Computer Labs appeared. The time stamp was 10 minutes before the post on the forum. It was quite early so most students had not arrived at school yet. Only those who had extra tutoring sessions, club meetings or in the student council would arrive early on a Monday morning.
Soon a girl with chubby girl with glasses appeared on the screen outside the computer lab. She impatiently paced up and down and looked around in a rather nervous manner.
This was Meng Min. Next was the arrival was the arrival of the oh- so-innocent Gao Hong who handed something to Meng Min before hurriedly leaving the computer lab.
Gao Hong , Zhong Hu and Meng Min were stunned. They didn't realize there was a camera outside the computer lab. Meng Min and Gao Hong were upset that Zhong Hu forgot to tell them such an important detail. They were also afraid that they would be punished now that they had been caught in the act.
In fact Zhong Hu was not to be blamed the security camera were a recent addition and how was he to know of their plans. Gao Hong had just asked to borrow his access card to entered the computer lab because Meng Min had accidentally deleted a paper that was due later . So she needed to work on it for a while. Since it was such a small thing he didn't mind borrowing his access pass to his favorite girl.
" Meng Min what do you have to say for yourself!" Bellowed Principal Wen glaring at the pale girl.
" Principal ... Wen . I ...I " She stammered and looked up and took a step forward before taking on an accusing tone. " It wasn't my fault. It was Gao Hong!It was her idea! She told me to do it because she wasn't good with words and I was."
