The principal's office fell silent for a moment.
The principal furrowed his brows deeply and shot Director Wang a meaningful glare, well aware that the situation was too suspicious. However, with the surveillance video indeed missing, he couldn't challenge Director Wang simply because of this "coincidence."
The principal looked at Tan Rou with regret. In the current situation, he felt troubled. Without access to the surveillance, and with Director Wang holding a so-called piece of paper as evidence, it was tough.
Deep down, the principal didn't believe in this coincidence and was unwilling to convict Tan Rou just on the basis of Teacher Li and Director Wang's weak accusations. But he couldn't just exonerate Tan Rou because he felt she didn't look like that kind of person, could he?
The principal was conflicted for a moment, his face stern, lost in thought.
