Free Web NovelChapter 238: Chapter 238: Arresting the Principal
"Nowadays, who would believe the words of a thug like you? This time, you dared to barge into the school and beat up the principal. I’ll see to it that you’re done for. I’m calling the police right now to have you arrested, see how you like rotting in jail!"
After finishing his speech, the principal actually took out his phone and dialed the emergency number.
Huang Dingfeng realized he had said something wrong and looked at Wang Hao with a worried face.
"Hello, I’m the principal of Chicheng County No. 1 Middle School. A hoodlum has broken into our school and beaten me up. Send the police quickly to arrest him!"
The principal hung up and laughed heartily, pointing at Wang Hao’s nose and cursing loudly.
"You little scoundrel, just wait. Don’t you dare run away when the police get here. If you kneel down and beg me right now, I might be in a good mood and spare your life. What do you say?"
The principal sat on his desk with a smug look, leisurely smoking a cigarette.
Ren Xiaomin and Huang Dingfeng were both very worried about this situation.
The principal indeed had some connections at higher levels; this was common knowledge among the school’s staff and students.
If the principal really used his connections to deal with Wang Hao, then Wang Hao would be facing a dead end.
Moreover, Wang Hao looked like an average farmer and didn’t appear to be someone with a strong background or support.
"Principal, I promise you, as long as you’re willing to let Huang Dingfeng and his friend go, I will decide not to sue you for sexual harassment!"
Ren Xiaomin, grateful that Wang Hao had helped her earlier, didn’t want to see Wang Hao destroyed by the principal.
"Let them go? Are you joking with me?"
The principal said with a nonchalant look.
"Do you think you can bargain with me just because you’re somewhat attractive? Don’t overestimate yourself. If you stand by me today, I guarantee you’ll get your teaching certificate today."
"If you disobey me and talk nonsense in front of the police, I can assure you, you’ll never get your teaching certificate in this lifetime."
"You despicable little man, are you even fit to be a principal? You’re a disgrace to this school, I swear I’ll take you down!"
Ren Xiaomin couldn’t contain her anger and lashed out, cursing the principal.
"Sue me? Go ahead! Only if you have evidence!"
The principal looked arrogant, not taking Ren Xiaomin’s words seriously at all.
Huang Dingfeng also found it very strange that the current situation was extremely unfavorable for them. He turned to look at Wang Hao, who was still engrossed in his phone.
Since he had settled onto the sofa, he hadn’t stopped playing with it, oblivious to what could be so fascinating on his phone that it was more important than his own life.
Huang Dingfeng quietly hid his own phone away just in case, so it might save his life when the police arrived.
Soon, the school was filled with the sound of police sirens, causing unrest throughout the premises.
Just at that moment, the principal’s beautiful assistant ran in, out of breath and anxious.
"Principal, the police have arrived!"
"Good, I’ve been waiting for them! Hurry up and welcome them!"
The principal stood up with a smile and, full of joy, pointed at Wang Hao and shouted. freewebnovёl.ƈom
"Weren’t you acting all tough before? Why not now?"
Ren Xiaomin and Huang Dingfeng’s complexions also changed drastically, sensing that the situation had escalated significantly.
"But, Principal..."
The pretty assistant hesitated as she spoke.
"The leaders from the Education Bureau are here too, and there’s also..."
"What? They’re here too? Why wasn’t I notified?"
The principal looked bewildered but realized that although the leaders from the Education Bureau were his superiors, they were all part of the same system. He thought that whatever the issue, he could always network later to resolve it.
But noticing the tone of the assistant’s voice, as if she hadn’t finished speaking, he curiously asked.
"What were you saying? Spit it out!"
"The County Mayor and people from the Discipline Inspection Commission have also arrived."
"What? What are people from the Discipline Inspection Commission doing here?"
Upon hearing this, the principal immediately panicked.
The Disciplinary Committee!
Huang Dingfeng and Ren Xiaomin were also taken aback; they knew who the Disciplinary Committee was, but why had they come to the school at this time?
Thinking back to how Wang Hao had been quietly playing with his phone, Huang Dingfeng suddenly had an epiphany.
Ren Xiaomin also realized this and couldn’t help but glance at Wang Hao, wondering if it was indeed this person who had summoned the Disciplinary Committee.
But no matter how you looked at it, Wang Hao seemed like a plain farmer, and Ren Xiaomin found it hard to believe that he had such great capabilities and connections.
As he listened to the conversation between the beautiful assistant and the principal, Wang Hao slowly put away his phone and quietly sat on the sofa, ready to watch the spectacle unfold.
"You...who exactly are you?"
The principal wasn’t foolish either, his hands trembling as he pointed at Wang Hao and spoke.
Wang Hao just gave a cold laugh and didn’t answer the principal.
Right then, Mayor Zeng and the Chief of Police were the first to walk in.
"Brother Wang Hao, are you alright?"
Mayor Zeng headed straight towards Wang Hao upon entering, not even glancing at the principal, and asked with concern.
"As soon as I saw your message, I immediately dropped everything and rushed over. I hope I’m not too late?"
Mayor Zeng actually came at Wang Hao’s beckoning, and just from a single text message at that!
The principal was completely dumbfounded upon hearing this.
He hadn’t expected that Mayor Zeng and the Chief of Police were here to support Wang Hao. Anyone who could make Mayor Zeng care for and attend to them like this was no ordinary person.
Without a doubt, the Disciplinary Committee people must also have been summoned by Wang Hao.
The Disciplinary Committee held a very special status; they even had the authority to investigate mayors.
However, not everyone could mobilize the Disciplinary Committee for investigations. Since the Disciplinary Committee had taken action, it seemed Wang Hao’s background and connections were far beyond just the mayor and the Chief of Police.
With this realization, the principal’s legs wobbled, nearly causing him to fall to the ground.
"It’s over, I’m doomed now!"
The principal’s face turned shades of green and white as he muttered incessantly to himself.
"Mayor Zeng, when you said there were people in the school abusing their power, were you talking about this principal?"
The members of the Disciplinary Committee glanced at the principal as they walked in and asked the mayor.
These people had firm gazes, looking every bit the embodiment of integrity.
"For details, you should ask Mr. Wang Hao. He knows better than I do!"
Mayor Zeng directed them towards Wang Hao as he spoke.
Wang Hao!
As soon as Mayor Zeng finished speaking, there was an uproar among all present.
In Chicheng County, even if no one had seen Wang Hao in person, they had all heard of his name. Not to mention, the two major incidents were enough for everyone to remember Wang Hao.
One incident was when Wang Hao captured bandits single-handedly, safeguarding the peace of the entire Chicheng County.
The second incident was Wang Hao’s business acumen. The trade fair organized by Chen Hongying had caused quite a stir in Chicheng County, and ever since then, everyone regarded Wang Hao as the top figure in the medicinal herb industry of Chicheng County.
Moreover, now it was well-known among the high-ranking officials of Chicheng County that Wang Hao had a good relationship with Old Zeng, who often mentioned him in conversations.
With Old Zeng’s reputation alone, Wang Hao was someone they could not afford to offend.
Thus, as these people learned of Wang Hao’s true identity, they all came forward to shake hands with Wang Hao, attempting to forge a connection.
The principal could no longer hold on, his eyes glazed over, sitting on the ground in a daze.
At that moment, the Chief of Police pointed at the principal and shouted to his subordinates.
"Arrest him."
