CHAPTER 61: CHAPTER 58: REPAYING A TEACHER’S KINDNESS

"It was him!" Jiang Mingyue pointed at Zheng Gang like a sword.

Zheng Gang, whose heart was guilty, retreated repeatedly in fear. Jiang Mingyue wouldn’t let him have his way and directly attacked with spiritual power, causing Zheng Gang to collapse to the ground on weak legs.

"Classmates should know him."

Some students immediately echoed, "Of course, we recognize him; he’s Mr. Zheng, the one in charge of logistics."

"Did anyone see Zheng Gang just now raise a brick to hit Mr. Yang on the head?"

"I did."

"I did."

...

Soon, several students raised their hands in support, the loudest being the girl in the blue dress and the boy in the yellow shirt.

Although they didn’t know what this sister intended to do, they trusted her.

Blue Dress: "Look at Mr. Zheng’s fierceness just now, it was like he wanted to kill an enemy."

Yellow Shirt: "But we’ve never heard of any grudge between the two of them."

The scene instantly erupted into discussions, and Jiang Mingyue smiled; this was a good sign.

"This classmate in yellow is right; they have no grudge. The reason Mr. Zheng wanted to smash Mr. Yang with a brick was to silence him."

"Silence him?"

Even the students who hadn’t previously sided with Jiang Mingyue exclaimed in surprise.

"You didn’t hear wrong, it’s to silence him. Do you really think Mr. Yang was reported because of a messy romantic life? Wrong! Have you ever heard of Mr. Yang having such stories?"

"No!"

"Of course not! Because it’s purely a false accusation, completely fabricated. The one behind all these accusations is our Mr. Zheng Gang. The reason... come, is there a student willing to go fetch the evidence?"

The blue dress, the yellow shirt, and several other male students raised their hands eagerly.

Jiang Mingyue thought: Not everyone is blinded by filth!

"Alright, alright, just you few, do you know where Mr. Zheng’s office is? Underneath his desk, tap around, there’s an empty spot; what’s buried inside is the evidence."

Curiosity got the better of everyone, and even those who hadn’t reacted before rushed over to see for themselves.

Soon, led by the blue dress, a group returned holding three account books.

"We’ve found it! It’s an expense ledger. Student up on stage, what’s this about?"

Jiang Mingyue had been waiting for this question!

She took it over, flipped a few pages...

"Just as expected! This is evidence of Zheng Gang embezzling while in charge of logistics procurement for years. Classmates! During Mr. Zheng’s tenure, instead of properly supporting the teachers in nurturing talents for the country, he only wanted to steal national funds.

Part of it is shamelessly soliciting kickbacks from the suppliers during procurement, and another part is stealing school assets and reselling them for personal gain. Combined, last year alone, Zheng Gang embezzled a total of 3,642 yuan and 5 cents, classmates, what concept is this? Your Mr. Yang’s monthly salary is 32 yuan, and it would take ten years without eating or drinking to equal Mr. Zheng’s ill-gotten gains last year.

I believe you all know this is a serious crime! Mr. Zheng knows it too, which is why he tried to cover it up tightly, but the law has long arms and justice prevails in the end.

What he did was accidentally caught by Mr. Yang. Mr. Yang, being an upright person, immediately pulled him to report to the school leaders for handling. Zheng Gang was scared! He knew exactly what he had done.

He pretended, saying he was wrong and would go to the school leaders to accept punishment himself. But Zheng Gang, the vile person, turned around and wrote a report letter to smear Mr. Yang instead. To resolve all problems in one go, he even attempted just now to silence Mr. Yang, something everyone witnessed with their own eyes.

So, classmates, knowing the truth, you know what to do now, right?"

"Yes, thank you, classmate."

"Classmates, follow me, let’s go to the administrative office next door to seek justice for Mr. Yang."

Seeing everyone bustling... some people accompanying Mr. Yang, some escorting Zheng Gang, incidentally landing punches and kicks on this parasite, Jiang Mingyue felt a secret sense of satisfaction.

Why should someone get away with doing bad things?

Why should good people suffer injustices?

But she also had to make a trip to the neighboring administrative office.

Jiang Mingyue hid the basket in space and headed straight for the destination. The entrance was indeed chaotic, making it easier to blend in.

Jiang Mingyue slipped in effortlessly and used spiritual power to assess the entire office area, quickly determining which office held the person in charge, pretending to be new, chatted with the janitor to confirm again, the director was called Zhu Hongwen.

Huh? Why did this name sound somewhat familiar? Yet, she couldn’t recall immediately.

Casually knocked on the door, without waiting for a "come in," the door was pulled open from the inside.

A face around the same age as Mr. Jiang appeared, smiling suddenly, and the smile was extremely gentle.

But Jiang Mingyue was here to find someone; Mr. Yang’s issue was still unresolved, so she couldn’t relent.

Thus, she didn’t delve into the meaning, introduced herself, and explained her purpose.

The person said, "...Mingyue, you don’t recognize Uncle Zhu?"

"?"

The door opened to allow a way in: "Come in first; your dad is also here. You are indeed father and daughter, quite in sync."

What? Mr. Jiang is here too?

No matter, no matter, the pressing matter of saving Mr. Yang is paramount.

Jiang Mingyue called out to the person, quickly explaining the situation.

"This is the real situation, Uncle Zhu. We cannot let good people suffer injustice. And we cannot let parasites continue to damage national interests."

"So, how did you know the informant was Zheng Honglian?"

Damn! Indeed, she was too focused on clearing Mr. Yang’s name, forgetting that such information wasn’t something an ordinary person would easily know, especially since she currently lived in the countryside.

But then she thought, the newly established committee was unlikely to be perfect in every way, surely with many loopholes, so she decided to take a gamble.

"Of course, it was passed on by your people. When I arrived at school, I happened to overhear two of your armbands talking about it. I happened to know Zheng Honglian, and that’s how I remembered it.

Mr. Yang was once my homeroom teacher, and I’ll never forget his kindness. Furthermore, we students know what kind of character he possesses, and he couldn’t do such things. If he were to date, it would be legal.

Again, I coincidentally met a teacher I knew, and he secretly told me the truth.

Uncle Zhu, that’s how it is; you can send someone to investigate. As for Zheng Honglian’s report, it was also..."

Jiang Mingyue mentioned about Zheng Honglian’s confession being rejected, suspecting she used slander out of spite.

Just after she finished speaking, Director Zhu’s assistant came to knock on the door, saying that group of students was blocking the gate seeking justice.

Director Zhu indeed needed to personally go because the report letter was delivered to him.

Upon mentioning this, he gave a meaningful look at Mr. Jiang, told the father and daughter to talk for a while as he went to handle it.

After the elder left, Jiang Mingyue felt her throat dry and sore, just as she was about to get some water, a glass of water appeared right in front of her.

Jiang Mingyue paused; in her past life, she had no other relatives besides her cousin, so she didn’t know what a father was.

She searched and searched, looking for the original owner’s mode of interaction with Mr. Jiang, but strangely, although it hadn’t been long, her mind was a bit blurry.
