Chapter 741: Chapter 738: Complaint Incident

"Students, is it time for the class to end?" Liu Ruming also heard the noise and asked curiously, thinking she had been too focused on teaching to hear the bell ring.

"Teacher Liu, not yet," replied Class Leader He.

Liu Ruming frowned slightly. Like any teacher, she would be displeased with disruptions to the teaching order, especially during such crucial review sessions for the senior year.

The noise outside did not subside; instead, it grew louder. It was so noisy that not only the students couldn’t concentrate, but even the teacher on the podium found it impossible to focus on her lecture.

"Students, please wait a moment, I will go out and see what’s happening," Liu Ruming said as she put down her books and pen and walked towards the classroom door.

But as soon as she stepped out, she retreated back into the room, driven back by a group of people appearing at the door.

"Who are you? What do you want? It’s class time right now, please leave!" Liu Ruming said defiantly as she stood at the doorway.

The group that appeared was so large it blocked the entrance, and there were many more behind them. At the forefront stood two men, both in their forties and carrying men’s bags.

The man on the left wore a white shirt and the one on the right wore a black shirt, appearing like Black and White Impermanence. Both were clad in leather shoes and exuded the air of small business owners.

When the two lead men saw Liu Ruming, a flash of admiration crossed their eyes. They discreetly scanned her figure, paying particular attention to Liu Ruming’s full chest and long legs.

Both men subtly swallowed their saliva, a reaction so covert even Liu Ruming did not notice, but it did not escape Lin Tian’s Eyes of Golden Flame.

Liu Ruming was attractive and well-proportioned, and her usual uniform attire undeniably drew men’s attention.

The man in the white shirt pretended to speak earnestly, "Teacher, we are all parents of students. My name is Zeng Cai, and this is Lv Bo, representing the parents. We only came here to find one person. Let him come out, and we will leave immediately, without disrupting your class."

This statement seemed well-prepared, spoken both formally and fluently, and Lv Bo was naturally the man in black beside him.

"Teacher, if you do not call him out, we will not leave," said the man in black, Lv Bo, echoing the man in white.

Their tone was assertive, and Liu Ruming’s frown deepened as she responded unequivocally, "It is class time now. I don’t care who you are looking for, but none of my students will leave. Please come back after school is dismissed."

"Why all this fuss? Just call Lin Tian out," a parent from the back called impatiently.

"Exactly, if she doesn’t call him, we will go in and find him ourselves," another parent said.

With such loud shouting, all the students knew that these parents were here for Lin Tian. Lin Tian also heard them and knew from their admission of being parents that they were here for him, exactly as Zhang Lingyu had analyzed before.

This was precisely what puzzled Lin Tian: who organized this group of unrelated parents to cause a disturbance systematically? Without someone orchestrating it behind the scenes, it would not be possible.

Lin Tian was not one to shy away from trouble. Hearing that he was being explicitly sought, he was about to stand up.

Liu Ruming seemed to know he would do this and glanced back at the students sternly, "None of you move. The teacher will handle this."

Lin Tian understood why Liu Ruming did this. As a teacher, her actions were to protect the students. It was clear that the parents had ill intentions, and facing them outside was unpredictable.

After thinking, he remained seated. Some issues are better handled by a teacher. Moreover, these were the students’ parents; it was unlikely they would physically assault a teacher.

"Dear parents, school will be dismissed soon. Please wait outside, and school leaders will attend to you afterward. Please do not gather in the educational building and disrupt the order," Liu Ruming said politely, aiming to stabilize the parents before letting the school authorities handle it.

However, Zeng Cai wearing the white shirt interjected, "We just came from the administration building. Your Principal Yan isn’t there; it was Vice Principal Ma Jiangbo who met us, and he directed us here to find Lin Tian. Hurry up and get him out here, or we will go in ourselves."

Ma Jiangbo? Lin Tian was taken aback. It was not that he didn’t know Ma Jiangbo, but the vice principal was not well-regarded among the students.

There are four vice principals at Xikou City High School, and Ma Jiangbo is the executive vice principal, a position lower than the principal’s but higher than the other three vice principals.

It was always a tricky position. Too low to be the principal, yet higher than all other vice principals. At any place, tension between principal and vice-principals was common, with vice-principals plotting to take over the principal’s role, and principals guarding against such usurpation.

Ma Jiangbo and Principal Yan were no exception. Rumors among the students suggested that Ma Jiangbo had schemed covertly to claim the principal’s position.

Unfortunately for him, with the Xiao Family’s support behind Principal Yan and his competent management of the school, Ma Jiangbo had always been unable to dislodge Principal Yan from his position.

Generally, those who manipulate from behind are detestable, and thus Ma Jiangbo was unpopular among the students.

This time, Ma Jiangbo had blatantly directed a group of parents to confront a student, clearly pushing the student into a difficult position and dodging responsibility himself.

"Lin Tian, was I wrong? It’s obvious someone is scheming, using the frog poisoning incident to make the complaining parents target you," said Zhang Lingyu.

"Maybe there are other reasons too, we just haven’t thought of them yet," said Lin Tian indifferently.

Hearing that it was Ma Jiangbo who sent the parents, Liu Ruming’s expression turned sour, but she still said sternly, "There are school rules, even a vice principal cannot disrupt the teaching order. If you do not leave now, I will call security!"

"Call security?" Lv Bo, the man in black, scoffed, then chuckled, "We have hundreds of parents here, not just from senior year but also from junior and sophomore years. How many security guards do you think the school has to stop us?"

"Is that a threat to engage in violence at the school? I can take that as a threat and call the police right now," Liu Ruming said coldly, without yielding.

A teacher’s eloquence is not for show. Liu Ruming effectively put them in a spot with her firm stance.

Indeed, the parents behind hesitated to speak further. They had merely intended to file a complaint, never anticipating following these two parent representatives would escalate matters so dramatically.
