"Principal, what should we do about this? My son is so scared he can't even speak now. Your school needs to provide an explanation; this cannot just be ignored." The wealthy woman's tone was full of threat.

"Yes, yes, yes, we will handle this matter properly." The principal nodded and bowed like a lapdog, "Rest assured, we will do our best to help."

"Good, then I have two demands. First, that child must apologize, or my son won't be able to overcome his trauma. Second, tell the other parents not to cause trouble, or they'll face consequences." The wealthy woman said aggressively.

The principal forced a bitter smile, but could only nod in agreement. At this moment, the head teacher arrived with a group of people, and the principal quickly inquired about the situation.

"Director, what are the parents saying on the other side?"

The head teacher hadn't spoken yet when Huo Yanli and her daughter Huo Xuan'Er rushed over. Huo Xuan'Er pointed at the principal, sneering, "Are you the principal? Impressive! My nephew ended up like this, yet you turn a blind eye."

The principal frowned, about to explain, but the wealthy woman chimed in first: "Are you the parents? Let me tell you, your son injured my son, made him bleed a lot. You must compensate for medical expenses and have your son apologize. If you want to escalate things, I'm ready to accompany you to the end. My husband is a famous lawyer."

Huo Xuan'Er was trembling with anger at the woman's shamelessness. She took a deep breath and decided to call Lin Beichen for help.

Meanwhile, Lin Beichen was out walking with Huo Sizun's daughter, Huo Zijun, feeling quite happy. Huo Zijun complimented Lin Beichen in various ways, and her temperament was ethereal, resembling a movie star Lin Beichen liked in his past life.

They walked into a tea house and booked a private room. Huo Zijun picked up a teapot to pour tea for Lin Beichen and said, "Mr. Lin Beichen, my father offended you before. Please don't hold it against him. He's getting old and sometimes not clear-minded, doing some foolish things."

Lin Beichen shook his head with a smile: "I'm not that petty. I won't hold such things in my heart."

Huo Zijun looked at Lin Beichen, her eyes sparkling: "Mr. Lin Beichen, you look very much like one of my idols. I really like your type of man."

Lin Beichen laughed heartily: "I don't see any similarities, but your acting skills are quite good. Do you think you've fallen for me at first sight?"

Huo Zijun was somewhat embarrassed and didn't know how to respond. Just then, Lin Beichen's phone rang—Huo Xuan'Er was calling.

"Mr. Lin Beichen, it's me, Huo Xuan'Er. I need to talk to you urgently." Huo Xuan'Er's voice was full of anxiety.

Lin Beichen's expression changed. He knew Huo Xuan'Er was always calm and composed, but now she seemed so agitated, something serious must have happened.

"Go ahead, what happened? Where do you need my help?" Lin Beichen asked in a serious tone.

Huo Xuan'Er told Lin Beichen everything about Xiao Ming's situation in detail. After listening, Lin Beichen's face darkened. Xiao Ming was a child he was very fond of, and he couldn't tolerate anyone hurting him.

"Send me the school's address. I'll go there immediately." Despite his anger, Lin Beichen maintained a calm tone.

Huo Xuan'Er was a bit surprised: "Mr. Lin Beichen, didn't you have plans today? Will this affect you?"

"Don't worry about me, I'll be there soon." Lin Beichen finished speaking and hung up the phone.

Huo Zijun, who overheard the rough idea, felt a bit jealous. But she was a smart woman, knowing how to prioritize. She immediately said to Lin Beichen, "Is there a problem? Do you need my help?"

Lin Beichen shook his head: "It's fine, I can handle it myself." With that, he got up and left, having already made up his mind.

He knew this was a rare opportunity to leave a good impression on Lin Beichen. He couldn't pass up such an opportunity lightly. Lin Beichen frowned, initially reluctant to involve Huo Zijun in the matter. However, on second thought, since Huo Zijun was Huo Sizun's daughter, she might bring some unexpected resources or connections, and it was better to avoid a violent confrontation in the city to prevent more complications.

So Lin Beichen briefly explained the situation to Huo Zijun:

"It's my friend's nephew who's in a bit of trouble." As he spoke, he led her away, recounting the events in detail.

Huo Zijun's face changed dramatically after hearing it; she clearly didn't expect such a thing to happen at this time. "Mr. Lin Beichen, don't worry, it's Huo Xuan'Er's nephew, right?" Huo Xuan'Er had worked for her father before, so Huo Zijun knew her naturally. "Yes, it's her nephew," Lin Beichen replied coolly.

"In that case, I should help both emotionally and rationally. She used to work for my father, and we do have some connection." Huo Zijun smiled slightly, her youthful smile spreading across her face, "Moreover, since this involves your friend, I have no reason to refuse. Rest assured, I'll do my best to help."

Huo Zijun understood that this was a good opportunity to owe Lin Beichen a favor, which might come in handy in the future. Lin Beichen was well aware of her thoughts but just smiled without mentioning it. The two then left together.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the school, the situation was escalating. Huo Xuan'Er and her sister stood their ground, showing no sign of backing down. The principal was losing patience; as the principal of a large school, the network behind him was intricate. He signaled to the head of security, who immediately caught on and summoned over twenty brawny men to forcefully remove the Huo sisters.

Seeing so many people swarm forward, Huo Xuan'Er's sister was terrified. She was already timid and afraid of causing trouble, and now she was even more shaken up. "Maybe we should just let it go. There's no need to blow things out of proportion," she advised Huo Xuan'Er, "Even if Lin Beichen comes, it will only burden him."

Huo Xuan'Er looked at her sister, filled with disappointment and dissatisfaction. At the same time, she felt a tinge of fear, owing Lin Beichen more and more favors. How would she repay him? Moreover, this time, even Lin Beichen might not be able to handle it easily. But when she caught sight of her nephew Xiao Ming beside her, with eyes firm and mature-like, it strengthened her resolve. For her nephew, to confront such malpractice, she couldn't back down.

Huo Xuan'Er took a deep breath and approached the principal. The principal sneered contemptuously: "What, ready to compromise? Good. The child's biological mom already compromised. Why would you, as an aunt, meddle so much?"

Huo Xuan'Er sneered coldly at the words and suddenly raised her hand to slap the principal. Caught off guard, the principal was struck, and his cheek started bleeding. "You crazy woman, how dare you..." he roared, ordering the bodyguards to act. The bodyguards rushed forward and restrained Huo Xuan'Er. Her sister screamed in fright, paralyzed with fear. Yet, Xiao Ming bravely rushed forward, trying to protect his aunt, only to be knocked down to the ground by a bodyguard.

"Principal, what should we do now?" the head of security asked. The principal snorted coldly: "Call our legal advisor and charge her with intentional injury. Let her serve a few years to learn a lesson."

At this moment, a commotion arose outside, and a guard rushed in, panicked. "What's going on? Why are you in such a hurry?" the principal asked displeased. The guard, breathless, replied: "Outside, a man and a beautiful woman barged in. The man is too strong; our guys outside can't stop him."

The principal's heart tightened, remembering Huo Xuan'Er's mention of Lin Beichen earlier.
