The Master's Mask Unveiled Again-Chapter 338 - 337: It’s Time She Knew Some Things

Chapter 338 -337: It’s Time She Knew Some Things

Bai Shuli continued to speak, “I don’t know the true identity of the other party, the one who got in touch with me was also a middleman.”

“Chixia Sect?” Ye Jinwen furrowed his brows, “Just because they said that, you believed them?”

“No, they showed me the Chixia Sect’s token.”

“Oh…” Ye Jinwen pursed his lips and did not speak further.

Sui Yuan, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, did not pursue further questions. Instead, he addressed Ye Jinwen, “Brother Ye, Mianmian will definitely not want to see the Bai family again. You handle it. However, before that, I hope the Bai Family will restore the truth of the matter to the public. I don’t wish to see another superficial official apology.”

The three members of the Bai family took a sharp intake of breath.

...

Sui Yuan thoughtfully walked out, and Ye Jinwen said, “Leave it to me.”

Then, with a clicking sound, he cracked his knuckles and approached the three members of the Bai family.

“Either never show up again, or never be able to show up again. Choose one of the two options,” said Ye Jinwen with a smile.

One option was for them to never show up again of their own accord. The other was that they would never be able to show up again.

The implications between the two were far too profound.

“We will leave, we will depart! We’ll never appear before you again!” Bai Shuren was the first to decide, immediately making his stance clear.

“Good.”

Thus, the Bai family, which had caused such an uproar in Wucheng for a while, exited the stage of Wucheng.

The Bais were always arrogant, and their business dealings were not the most upright, resulting in very few willing to lend them a hand when trouble arose.

After all, one must face the consequences of one’s own actions.

After Ye Jinwen finished his tasks, he got back into the car, his mood so uplifted that he clicked his tongue loudly.

Sui Yuan gave him a sudden sideways glance and paused for a moment when she realized it was Ye Jinwen.

She thought it was Sister Zero; Zero was the one who liked to click her tongue.

Lu Mian was not aware of the actions Sui Yuan had taken, only showing some surprise when Pang Hao displayed the apology statement from the Bai family on Weibo to her.

This time, the Bai family’s apology statement was as sincere as it could be, almost as if one could feel through the screen that they wrote it while crying bitterly.

“Brother Mian, Bai Fangfei withdrew from school,” said Pang Hao.

“Oh,” Lu Mian thought, impressed with her foresight for knowing she had done something wrong and not daring to show up again. However, to Lu Mian, such minor characters were not worth dwelling on anymore.

Now she also finally had time to consider the matter of the cool pavilion in the school’s back hill.

Although Han Jin did not tell her how he found out, as the kidnappers’ last disappearing point, this place was key. If that group of people started to act again, they might show up here.

Perhaps, the game was just beginning.

——

Principal Zhang was very busy today, signing the withdrawal papers for Bai Fangfei of first-year (25) class and writing a letter of persuasion to withdraw for Lu Xinnuan of senior-year (1) class, his hands full with work.

But he was well aware that the departure of these two was due to the same reason.

They had both harmed Lu Mian.

So, if you want to live, don’t provoke Lu Mian. If you want to live well, you must cling tightly to Lu Mian’s legs.

Fu Man and Lu Zhizhai came to the principal’s office.

Fu Man set down a basket of fruit before she could speak, and tears began to fall.

Who would want their daughter to be advised to withdraw from school, leaving a permanent stain on her record? Besides, Lu Xinnuan’s academic performance was not bad, and she was just half a semester away from the college entrance exam.

She had endured a lifetime’s worth of effort, just waiting for her daughter to grow up and succeed…

This time, Lu Zhizhai had come back for his younger daughter’s birthday, but unexpectedly, her birthday gift was a letter of school expulsion.

“Principal Zhang, I have a rather difficult request.” Lu Zhizhai was still somewhat calm, his face weathered from travel, bearing a trace of gravity. His ill-fitting suit was always a bit creased and slack.

“Mr. Lu, you don’t need to ask for clemency. You should be very clear that the person Lu Xinnuan slandered this time is a prominent figure in the province, and it’s not something I can decide.”

“Is there really no way at all?” Fu Man leaned in, wiping away tears. “Otherwise, could we apply for a transfer, I just hope that there isn’t any kind of disciplinary action on my daughter’s record…”

“Mrs. Lu, as I said just now, there’s no room for negotiation in this matter. Without anyone covering for the Lu Family, all the grievances and unfair treatment that Lu Mian once bore will, in another way, come back to you. Do you understand what I’m saying?”

Fu Man bit her lip, in the end, they were still protected by Lu Mian.

If… if she had persuaded Xinnuan earlier, if she had been a little nicer to Lu Mian…

When had a family come to this?

“Then please let me see Lu Mian, she’s the child I carried for ten months, this is her sister by the same mother, if I plead with her, she will definitely forgive us…”

Principal Zhang was quite indifferent. “Mrs. Lu, what were you doing earlier?”

He shook his head, rejecting the request.

Moreover, Director Han had said that Lu Mian didn’t care at all about the Lu Family anymore, pleading was pointless.

Fu Man covered her face, filled with regret.

Finally, Lu Zhizhai spoke up. “Child’s mother, why don’t you step out, I’d like to speak with the principal alone.”

“Ah?”

“You go on out.”

Fu Man hesitated, bewildered, and left.

Now only Lu Zhizhai and Principal Zhang remained in the office.

Principal Zhang was still puzzled, what was there for the two of them to talk about? The higher-ups had made it clear, no amount of pleading would make a difference.

Lu Zhizhai took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind. “Principal Zhang, yesterday Lu Mian celebrated her twentieth birthday, there are some things she should know by now.”

Principal Zhang was startled, sensing there was something significant he was about to reveal, he hastened to interject. “Wait, Mr. Lu, you can’t tell me this, you should talk to Director Han.”

Lu Zhizhai nodded. “Then would you please call Director Han for me.”

Ding Cai’s office.

The homeroom teacher Zhang Wenqiang found Ding Cai and slammed down a stack of files with a powerful gesture.

“Mr. Ding, I think there’s something wrong with your way of thinking.”

Ding Cai was unyielding. “Miss Zhang, please watch your language.”

Zhang Wenqiang gritted her teeth. “During the inter-school exchange meeting, your student Lu Mian indeed excelled, completely overshadowing Era Middle School’s students and even achieved a one-to-ten record. As Lu Mian’s homeroom teacher, I know you’re proud right now, but do you think this is right?”

“What’s wrong with it?”

“Do you know how much this affects the relationships between the two schools?” Zhang Wenqiang crossed her arms. “Era Middle School is affiliated with Jinjing University. Their leader Sheng Zijin is the granddaughter of Jinjing University’s president. Lu Mian’s victory was thrilling, but our school has lost its future. How could Jinjing University ever allocate admission spots to our school again? Our students who were supposed to be recommended for admission might lose a school they could have chosen! Have you ever thought about these long-term consequences?”

Ding Cai frowned. “You didn’t see how Era Middle School initiated the provocation against our school to begin with. If they hadn’t stirred things up, would Lu Mian have done what she did? If their school had won, they would have looked down on us even more!”
