Chapter 860: Innocence

The President of Imperial University obviously knew Gong Tianhao.

This was because every year, at the start of school, the university would invite Gong Tianhao to lecture to encourage the new students.

However, Gong Tianhao didn't accept the invitation that often. Gong Tianhao once accepted, and that was many years ago.

When Mr. Jiang saw Gong Tianhao's stern and cold face, his heart beat faster. Then, he said with a stiff smile, "Mr. Gong, it seems that this is a misunderstanding. Why don't we have a private talk?"

As he said this, he looked at the students outside the window and the only outsider in the room, Principal Li.

Once Jiang Shuyu appeared, it was very likely that the situation would be very disadvantageous to them.

If they were to settle this privately, perhaps they would still retain their face after paying a certain price. The price wouldn't be greater than having their daughter destroyed.

Naturally, Gong Tianhao understood what the man wanted. He curled his lips and said with a slightly sarcastic expression, "No, I think it's better to settle things in this principal's office. With Principal Li as a witness, I can clear my brother-in-law's name and get justice for him."

Mr. Jiang's expression froze. He immediately understood that Gong Tianhao wanted to pursue this to the end.

Knowing that Gong Tianhao would give them no room for negotiation, Mr. Jiang immediately turned his attention to Xiao Lingye. His gaze carried a trace of pleading as he said in a friendly tone, "Student Xiao Lingye, it's my fault. I shouldn't have come to school without doing my investigation. But can we settle this in private for my Shuyu's sake?"

He felt that Xiao Lingye was still young and inexperienced, so it was easier for him to be soft-hearted. Besides, it was easier for him to move people's hearts if he asked as a father.

However, he had miscalculated the Xiao family's insistence on the matter.

The Xiao family's principle was that if someone did not offend them, they would not offend them. If someone offended them, they would definitely return the favor!

The Xiao Family had a backbone.

They would not bully others, nor would they allow others to bully them. They were not saints who would magnanimously forgive those who bullied them.

Xiao Lingye smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang, these photos were posted on the school walls. Plus, you brought me here in public. So, everything has to be done in public. Otherwise, people will not believe, or we're using our status to force you to compromise. Mr. and Mrs. Jiang, you should know the power of rumors."

Previously, the Jiang couple had used their identities to scold and blackmail him. Now, Xiao Lingye had turned the tables. They wanted to cover this issue up.

Xiao Lingye's brother-in-law and sister did not hesitate to expose their identities to support him. He could not let them down. So he'd be the bad guy just this once.

Moreover, what was the Jiang Family? What was Jiang Shuyu? She bullied him again and again. Did they really think he had no temper?

As soon as Xiao Lingye finished speaking, Xiao Lingyu also said coldly, "Mr. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang, since this matter not only involves my brother's innocence but also the innocence of your precious daughter, shouldn't we investigate the truth openly?"

The Jiang couple, "..."

Everyone, "..."

Such sharp words.

There was no room for negotiation because this involved the 'innocence' of the two young students!
