Pamila stood strong. "What do you mean it doesn't have anything to do with me? I'm an eyewitness. I personally saw Bian do that. not only me a few of the students saw that. you haven't even investigated it properly yet you punish Jian?"
"Shut up! go back to your class right now or I will expel you too!" The class teacher ragingly shouted at her.
"oh, on what grounds? If you expel me, I will make an official police complaint that there is school bullying going on. Then we will see how you guys deal with the consequences. Especially you who is the class teacher," she cast a sarcastic glance at Bian and the class teacher.
Bian froze over. 'No this can't happen!! I will get involved and my name will be tarnished! I can't let that happen!!' he started to anxiously think of a solution.
Expelling Jian will only bring on public rage. 'I need to smooth over this case... I can't let it blow up anymore.'
"Sir. It's getting late for class." Bian softly added.
"Yes, everyone else leave this staff room right now," the class teacher looked at Pamila in annoyance.
"Sorry, I can't leave without a proper answer. I'm telling you its Bian who threw the cigarette in his bag and framed him. you did not react at all. Yet when you got an anonymous complaint that someone was smoking you went around searching the class like a sniffing dog." Pamilla scoffed. "Take my complaint into consideration. I am officially filing a formal school complaint against Bian and his friend for school violence and forgery."
Jian wanted to give her a standing ovation. 'Oh my god, this shy girl is fierce. He initially wanted to slide out of this punishment by triggering his grandma but he did not expect this girl to run to his defense.'
Things were already getting out of control.
"This is nonsense. I know Bian! He will not do anything like that!" The class teacher defended him righteously.
"Yes, my Bian is innocent. It must be this…" as she was about to cuss at him his grandmother froze up. "He has nothing to do with this. we shall leave."
'Not yet you don't. today is the day to break the strings completely' Jian stood in their way. "Bian… why did you do it,"
"I didn't do it!" Bian shouted with tears in his eyes. "don't you believe me Jian... you... you are my own brother how can I harm you."
'Oh my god, he deserved an Oscar-level acting.' Jian applauded in his mind. "I asked you why! why…. why did you bully me every day... why… you are my brother yet you… every day I gritted my teeth thinking It would get better but no... it only got worse. Nansich ruined my table every day,"
"I didn't have anything to do with it! what did that lunatic decide to do that!" Bian screamed impulsively.
Realizing he had lost his cool he quickly lowered his head and wiped his tears ruefully. "it was all Nansich… I never hurt you,"
"Not directly no. you hurt me indirectly every day. Threw my eggs on the ground and gave them to me to eat with a loving smile. Tore my clothes and amicably offered to patch it up for me. Bulleid me behind my back and offered to help me up front."
Bian's eyes widened ever so slightly as each accusation came to pass. 'What is he doing? How did he realize it! Jian is dumb! He would never realize it! this is going out of control! I need to do damage control!'
He fell to his knees sobbing loudly. "I never once hurt you Jian... never..."
"Bian! Get up my child," Grandma pulled him into an embrace whilst glaring at him fearlessly.
Jian raised his brow. 'the fear lasted only for so long... guess I need to be more thorough with this woman.'
The door to the staff room banged open. "What is all of this mess? Who is shouting and crying here!" the principal walked in with a frown.
Jian subtly noticed the class teacher starting to panic.
"it's nothing, sir. We are just punishing the student who was smoking. Everything is sorted out now,"
"no, it's not!" Pamila shouted. "This Bian has been bullying his own brother. This teacher refuses to take my complaint." She glanced at the principal. "Please do something about it. or else our school's name will be ruined forever."
Frowning deeply, the principal glared at the teacher. "is it true?"
"She is speaking nonsense sir… there is no bullying in my classroom. Everything is going stellar."
"you liar!"
The principal massaged his brows. "You," he gazed at the young man who stood with his head lowered. "Did you get bullied? Who bullied you?"
Bian gazed up at Jian with a pleading gaze.
Jian subtly revealed a smirk and mouthed. 'Caught you.'
Bian froze.
"y-yes… I... I was bullied by my brother and… his friends. Everyday. Please... I don't think he meant to hurt me," he let out a few pit tears as he gazed at the principal.
The older man nodded. "We will investigate into it."
Bian collapsed to the ground unconscious instantly.
"Bian!"
"Get the school doctor!"
Everyone panicked.
Jian watched from the sidelines with a cold smile. 'He thought he escaped from his punishment... I will not let him go… if the school doesn't act on it. I will file a police complaint.'
