Chapter 729: Chapter 726: The Highest Realm of Flattery

Lai Xiucheng was startled by Principal Yan’s sudden shout, and he weakly defended himself, "No, I didn’t lie, you can ask others."

"Very good. As the principal, I will not wrong a good staff member or a good student. Let others speak and see what the truth is," Principal Yan said with a face of fairness.

Then, he turned to Lin Tian and asked, "Lin Tian, you are one of the parties involved, do you have anything to say?"

"Principal Yan, I have nothing to say, everything happened just as you saw when you came in," Lin Tian said earnestly.

"Hmm, I understand your point," Principal Yan didn’t ask further, then turned to Liu Wenxing and said, "You tell me, what was the situation?"

"Principal Yan, my account is the same as student Lin Tian’s, just as you saw with your own eyes. I believe Principal Yan will see through to the truth," Liu Wenxing also spoke earnestly.

"You girls, do you have anything to say?" Principal Yan of course would not just question Liu Wenxing, to avoid giving others a handle.

Chang Jiayan stepped forward, greeted the Principal, and then said, "Principal Yan, I was taking care of my roommate earlier, but for some reason, Doctor Lai and student Guo Heng suddenly burst in, claiming they came to help with medical issues, yet we had never notified the health center; they came uninvited. As for the assault, I think Principal Yan saw it very clearly."

"Hmm, I understand," Principal Yan faced Lai Xiucheng and asked, "Doctor Lai, the girls of dorm 502 didn’t notify the health center, yet you barged in; do you have anything else to say?"

"I..." Lai Xiucheng struggled for a moment and couldn’t find a reason. He had thought it was a trivial matter and thus came uninvited, not expecting it would escalate to the principal.

"Guo Heng, hurry up and speak, it was you who asked me to come. Also, it was Lin Tian who hit me first, you must testify for me," Lai Xiucheng pleaded urgently, clutching at Guo Heng as a lifeline.

Guo Heng glanced at Lin Tian and, seeing an enigmatic smile in Lin Tian’s eyes, swallowed the words that were on his lips. He only spoke after a long delay, "I did not call Doctor Lai; he asked me to lead the way."

"Guo Heng, you..." Lai Xiucheng’s eyes widened in disbelief, the person in the same boat as him was actually not helping him.

"All right, Doctor Lai, the situation is quite clear. You trespassed into a female dormitory and assaulted a student. Regarding this matter, I will call a meeting to decide on your punishment," said Principal Yan decisively, settling the matter with finality.

Lin Tian knew that when Principal Yan mentioned calling a meeting, it was just a formality for others to see. No one would be foolish enough to oppose the punishment of a school doctor; even if a meeting was called, it would only be a formality.

Lai Xiucheng knew that things were beyond salvage, and with a look of resentment, glanced at Lin Tian, then coldly said, "Principal Yan, if you’re going to punish me, I have nothing to say. But Lin Tian also trespassed into the female dormitory; he must also accept punishment. Such a harmful person must be expelled from the school to purge the campus."

"Doctor Lai, what you said is not right." Director Gao seized the opportunity to step up and ingratiated himself, "The contribution of student Lin Tian to Xikou City High School, I dare say, surpasses any student before, even unmatched by any future ones!"

Director Gao disdainfully glanced at Lai Xiucheng and continued, "You have no right to comment like this on Lin Tian. As the founder of the Xiao’s Scholarship, his dedication to the school is unparalleled, and even after a hundred years, its influence will be irreplaceable. If we were to rank the most outstanding characters since the foundation of the school, I believe Lin Tian deserves to be rated first. Moreover, Lin Tian’s photo should also be hung on the school’s wall of fame for future generations to admire!"

Director Gao spoke passionately and from the bottom of his heart, demonstrating the highest level of bootlicking; even Lin Tian almost blushed.

Top ten outstanding figures, the wall of fame, what is the concept of a wall of fame? Is it just for anyone? If Lin Tian remembered correctly, the very first principal of Xikou City High School, a renowned expert scholar in the educational field, is featured there.

The experts of decades ago are not the same as modern-day experts; back then, their stature was really high, unlike today’s experts, which are merely nominal.

Director Gao even dared to mention appearing on the wall of fame, something Lin Tian had never considered; his flattery was indeed audacious.

However, his spirited words did startle a few young female students, who actually believed him and looked at Lin Tian with even more admiration.

Principal Yan, long familiar with Director Gao’s flattery skills, was unsurprised, but Lai Xiucheng’s expression turned quite sour.

Not giving up, he said, "What does it matter if he is famous? A public figure should lead by example. His trespassing into the female dormitory was wrong, and if I am to be punished, he should receive the same treatment."

That was the cunning of Lai Xiucheng, trying to make Principal Yan consider his "sentencing" with reservations. Whatever punishment I receive, Lin Tian should too, he thought to himself, let the principal deal with it.

"Principal Yan, Lin Tian did not trespass into the female dormitory; we invited him up, and our dorm 502 agreed to it," He Mengxiang spoke up in defense of Lin Tian.

"Yes, we had already permitted it; we contacted Lin Tian through Liu Wenxing," Chang Jiayan added.

Lai Xiucheng still scoffed, "Hmph, what did he come up for? Give me a reason, eh? Even if you agreed, it doesn’t justify randomly entering a female dormitory; otherwise, what’s the purpose of having dormitory managers!"

No one expected that at this point, Lai Xiucheng would still be so difficult to deal with, simply making unreasonable trouble. If he were a bit wiser, he would have admitted his mistake early to seek a more lenient treatment, but unexpectedly, he was confronting Lin Tian.

Perhaps at this moment, no one could understand his thoughts; compared to the humiliation of admitting fault, he was more envious of Lin Tian receiving girls’ admiration. He felt entitled to take advantage of beautiful girls, not them idolizing Lin Tian. Therefore, he intended to pull Lin Tian down from his pedestal and shatter the halo above Lin Tian’s head.

The more the girls sided with Lin Tian and spoke well of him, the more envious Lai Xiucheng became.

Principal Yan certainly knew Lai Xiucheng was not wrong; the school rules do not allow boys to enter girls’ dormitories without justifiable reasons. He thought Lin Tian was there for frivolous reasons, so he hadn’t brought it up, just to cover for Lin Tian. But Lai Xiucheng held onto it and wouldn’t let go, putting him in a difficult position.

"Principal Yan, I can testify, Lin Tian came into the female dormitory to treat this senior student, and this happened with the dorm manager’s agreement, there’s visitor registration," Chen Xiaorou couldn’t help explaining for Lin Tian.

Treat a student? Principal Yan, Director Gao, and two security guards were all taken aback, a student treating another student, what kind of joke was that! This was what popped into their minds.
