School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert-Chapter 363 - : Each Sticking to Their Own Argument
Chapter 363 -363: Each Sticking to Their Own Argument
“What?!” Chen Aiguo exclaimed, immediately shocked upon hearing the news.
Chen Aiguo had always been someone who paid close attention to school safety and was particularly concerned about student safety. If anything were to go wrong with a student’s learning, then he, as the principal, would likely be in trouble. Therefore, he managed matters of safety very strictly. In the school, no one was allowed to make mistakes. This was beyond doubt. But now, such a serious accident had occurred within the school.
“Yes!” A teacher by his side hurriedly said, “Just now, during the sports meeting, someone pulled a knife during an argument, Principal, this is something you must take care of.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Aiguo frowned and said, “What exactly happened? Please tell me the details slowly, I want to listen carefully.”
Teacher Liu thought for a while, then recounted the sequence of events he had organized in his mind, almost depicting Xiao Han as someone with schizophrenia, plus a bad temper. That was why such an incident had erupted today.
“Who did you just say?” Chen Aiguo quickly asked.

...
“Xiao Han!” Teacher Liu immediately responded.
“Xiao Han?!” Chen Aiguo was startled and said, “The national college entrance examination top scorer?”
“Yes!” Teacher Liu nodded promptly.
“Impossible!” Chen Aiguo immediately shook his head and said, “From what I know of Xiao Han, he couldn’t possibly be that kind of person.”
“Principal Chen, one should not judge by appearances,” Teacher Liu urged, “Xiao Han has already stabbed Tiemu Khan twice, causing bleeding wounds—right now, they’re being bandaged in the infirmary. Tiemu Zhen is from a minority ethnicity, and you are well aware of our country’s policies towards minority groups. If such a big incident were to get out, it could cause serious trouble.”
Chen Aiguo furrowed his brow, his mind filled with many doubts.
At that moment, Lan Yudie knocked and entered from outside.
Chen Aiguo looked at Lan Yudie with surprise and asked, “Teacher Lan, what brings you here?”
“Oh, everyone seems to have gathered quite neatly,” Lan Yudie said with a smile, then added, “They must have come to report Xiao Han to you, haven’t they?”
“Yes!” Chen Aiguo laughed upon hearing this and asked, “What about you? Are you here to do the same?”
“Of course not!” Lan Yudie immediately shook her head, then said, “I’m here to defend Xiao Han. Similarly, I’ve come to explain the entire situation to you, Principal Chen.”
“Good!” Chen Aiguo nodded, then said, “Go ahead, I just heard their one-sided story, and I find it hard to believe Xiao Han is such a person. So, I now need a different perspective. I want to see who is telling the truth and who is lying!”
“Principal Chen, she is Xiao Han’s teacher, she will definitely speak in his defense,” Teacher Liu hurriedly said.
“Let her speak,” Chen Aiguo signaled Lan Yudie to go ahead.
Lan Yudie, of course, presented the situation from the most impartial viewpoint since Xiao Han was in the right today. Naturally, there were times when some of her wording still took Xiao Han’s side. For instance, when describing Xiao Han stabbing Tiemu Khan, Lan Yudie deliberately framed it as Tiemu Khan’s fault, suggesting that Tiemu Khan had provoked Xiao Han, leading to the injury in a moment of passion.
After her explanation, Teacher Liu became irritated and said, “You’re talking nonsense, it was clearly Xiao Han who intended to hurt someone.”
“No one here is a fool!” Lan Yudie retorted with a sneer, “Why would Xiao Han intentionally hurt someone? He is neither psychotic nor does he suffer from a temper disorder. It was completely because Tiemu Khan angered him, and besides, where did Xiao Han get the knife from? It was because Tiemu Zhen took it out. If he hadn’t taken it out, how would Xiao Han have had a weapon to injure someone with? If we’re going to talk about liability, it should be Tiemu Khan’s responsibility, for he was the one keeping the controlled knife privately.”
“Tiemu Khan is Mongolian, he is a minority, and he is allowed to have a controlled knife!” Teacher Liu argued assertively.
“So you mean to say, it’s only okay for Tiemu Khan to use a dagger to stab Xiao Han, but it’s not okay for Xiao Han to defend himself?” Lan Yudie’s sudden retort left Teacher Liu at a loss for words.
Nowadays, even as the state’s policies favor minorities, they are quite strict with the Han people. Mongolians and Tibetans are permitted to carry controlled knives, while Han Chinese are severely restricted. Who could have predicted an incident like this? A Mongolian wields a knife against Xiao Han, only to be disarmed and wounded by Xiao Han himself. If we say Xiao Han has intentionally hurt someone with a knife, it’s because Tiemu Khan used the knife first. Otherwise, how would he have ended up stabbed by Xiao Han? At most, he would have only been hit with a few punches.
“Anyway, Xiao Han definitely did it on purpose,” insisted Teacher Liu, adamant that Xiao Han had intentionally caused harm.
“Teacher Liu, don’t be too excessive,” Lan Yudie sneered. “Just now on the field, when Xiao Han was about to call the police, you certainly didn’t say that!”
“The reason I said that was because I was considering the school’s reputation,” Teacher Liu sneered back. “That doesn’t mean I was wrong. I just wanted to deal with this internally. We must bring this matter to Principal Chen for a fair judgment.”
Chen Aiguo was at a loss about what to do next. Everyone seemed to have a point. Although he was inclined to side with Xiao Han, nearly half of the Physical Education Department’s teachers had shown up, and he had to show them some respect. It was vital to handle the situation well, as it had become more than a question of who was right or wrong. The presence of so many teachers was a clear indication that they knew they lacked a sound argument and had therefore gathered to put pressure on him.
Thus, Chen Aiguo had to resolve the issue properly. If not addressed, it would inevitably cause problems later on.
“Enough,” Chen Aiguo glared at the group and said, “I will investigate this matter. You all go back to the sports meet. Don’t let this issue ruin the event. I heard that Xiao Han broke a record in the 100-meter dash today?”
“Yes!” Lan Yudie nodded eagerly. “Today, Xiao Han performed exceptionally well in the semifinals, defeating all the Sprint Kings from the Physical Education Department. He finished first with an advantage of 0.21 seconds, and he even broke our school’s record.”
“Good, that’s great news,” Chen Aiguo stated, delighted. “Carry on with the sports meet.”
The Physical Education Department teachers were stunned. They exchanged sideways glances, all of them instinctively turning to look at Teacher Liu. As Deputy Head of the Department, he was their leader. It was also Teacher Liu who had called them over, so it was only natural for him to set an example. If Teacher Liu decided to carry on with the issue, they would surely follow suit; if he chose to leave, they would leave as well.
“What are you still doing standing here?” Chen Aiguo frowned. “If you leave, who’s in charge of what happens on the field? Who’s responsible if something goes wrong? I warn you, if there’s a problem, I will certainly hold you accountable!”
These were some of the harshest words Chen Aiguo had spoken.
Upon hearing this, Teacher Liu gritted his teeth and said, “Let’s go, we have work to do!”
After speaking, the Physical Education Department teachers filed out of Chen Aiguo’s office one after the other. Teacher Liu still wore an expression of discontent. But Chen Aiguo had spoken very sternly, and if Teacher Liu failed to take the hint, it was likely to cause trouble. Thankfully, Teacher Liu knew when to yield; otherwise, knowing Chen Aiguo’s temper, things could have become much more complicated.
Just as the group was about to leave, Chen Aiguo suddenly spoke up, “Teacher Lan, you stay behind, I have something to discuss with you.”
“Yes!” Lan Yudie nodded.
As Teacher Liu was leaving, he shot Lan Yudie a fierce glare. Lan Yudie smiled coldly in response, her gaze one of pride, as if she was utterly fearless of them. Indeed, they were all teachers at the same school; they knew each other well. Why should anyone be afraid?
Once the group had left, Lan Yudie asked Principal Chen, “Principal Chen, what did you want to talk to me about?”
“Yes, I do,” Chen Aiguo nodded. “What exactly is going on with Xiao Han’s situation?”
“Xiao Han was indeed provoked,” Lan Yudie said seriously. “You know him as well as I do, he’s full of pride. He never starts trouble, but he’ll never allow anyone to trouble him. This time, the main reason was Tao Jun repeatedly losing to Xiao Han in the 100-meter dash, which led to the dispute.”
“Ah, this kid!” Chen Aiguo exclaimed upon hearing this. “He certainly is proud, but that can cause him to suffer easily. It’s still alright while he’s at school, but if he goes out into society, wouldn’t that be problematic?”
Lan Yudie frowned, “Yes, I’ve always wanted to help him grow. But I’ve found that his pride is extraordinary.”
“I’ll talk to him later,” Chen Aiguo said with a smile. “I hope he can change his temperament. After all, he’ll have to enter society sooner or later. We don’t want to just cultivate a learning machine, but rather we hope to cultivate someone who is useful to the country and to society.”
Lan Yudie couldn’t help but smile upon hearing this.
Given Xiao Han’s current value, even if he entered society, he would be far from simple. This freshman had already opened a restaurant with an annual income of several million yuan, and rumors suggested that wasn’t the only one. There were several more in Linjiang City. As a resident of the provincial city, Lan Yudie was quite curious; she hoped to visit Linjiang City during the winter break to see Xiao Han’s enterprises for herself.
Lan Yudie did not divulge Xiao Han’s affairs but merely smiled and said with utmost certainty, “Principal Chen, I believe Xiao Han will definitely be a talent useful to society, an important pillar for our country.”
Chen Aiguo looked at Lan Yudie with a very puzzled expression, then he immediately laughed and said, “Right, Xiao Han will surely become a pillar of the nation. Not just Xiao Han, all of Shuimu University’s students will be the nation’s pillars.”
