Hu Ping’s mind was also in turmoil. She had never expected Ye Leng’an to call the police. She thought that the matter would definitely be resolved within the school.
“Principal, as you can see, I’m afraid this matter can’t be resolved among us.” Ye Leng’an didn’t back down. “So, I think the best way is to call the police. We all believe that the police were the fairest!”
“But…” Zheng Anyang frowned. “If we call the police, they will make an issue of it and it won’t be good for anyone.”
Although he thought highly of Ye Leng’an, he cared more about the school’s reputation. Unrelated people didn’t care what happened. As long as the police appeared on campus, rumors would definitely spread, which would damage the school’s reputation.
“No, it’s precisely because the matter is sticky that we need to call the police.” Ye Leng’an looked at Zheng Anyang and said, “Principal, I know what you’re worried about. However, this matter has already caused an uproar. Even if you want to cover it up, you are not able to do that. Since that’s the case, why don’t we just expose it and let people outside campus know how transparent and fair our system is? Principal, the job of our school is to impart knowledge and educate people. Educating people is also very important. As an educator, don’t you think that what I did is right?”
She was naturally aware of the principal’s scruples. However, she felt that there was no need to be so secretive since things had already come to this point. Otherwise, more rumors would arise.
Zheng Anyang pondered for a moment, but he still looked hesitant. Finally, he sighed. “If you insist on calling the police, go ahead.”
He did value the reputation of the school, but Ye Leng’an’s speech about “imparting knowledge and educating people ” touched his heart. As an educator, his initial intention was to teach and educate people. However, as he continued to move forward, had he forgotten his original intentions?
What Ye Leng’an said today made him reflect on what he needed to do to become a qualified educator. Every decision he made could affect the students’ lives.
Ye Leng’an was a little surprised, but she nodded and said to the principal with admiration, “Since you agreed, I’ll call the police now!”
“Principal, this is just a small matter. There’s no need to make such a big deal out of it!” Hu Ping, who was standing at the side, was also a little anxious. “If the police really come to our door, what will others think of our school?”
“As long as you behaved properly, what’s there to be afraid of?” Zheng Anyang waved his hand. “Ye Leng’an is the victim. Since she has decided to call the police, I naturally have to respect her decision. As for you, if you insist that you are right, then there is no need to be afraid!”
“Ye Leng’an, aren’t you afraid that everyone will know about your scandal?”
Zhao Yanran started to get worried as well and directly said to Ye Leng’an, “When that time comes, you won’t be able to hide it even if you want to. You won’t be able to stay in Sheng’an anymore and the other schools won’t accept you.”
“What’s there to be afraid of?” Ye Leng’an shrugged her shoulders. “From the beginning to the end, it was you who kept saying that I was a kept woman. I didn’t do anything at all. What’s there to be afraid of? As for you, Zhao Yanran, I don’t know if you have any evidence to prove the truth of your slanderous words.”
“No, you can’t call the police.” Hu Ping stretched out her hand, wanting to snatch Ye Leng’an’s phone.
At this moment, she was also frightened. If this matter got sticky, it would be fine if Ye Leng’an was proven to be promiscuous. However, if Ye Leng’an was proven to be innocent, then what she did today would be indulgent toward criminal acts. Her career might be ruined by this matter.
At that time, even if the school did not fire her, those parents would probably not be willing to let her teach their children.
“Teacher Hu, what are you doing?” Ye Leng’an dodged aside. “You want to fight with me in front of the principal?”
“No!” Hu Ping retorted loudly. However, she soon realized that she had overreacted. She hurriedly lowered her voice. “Ye Leng’an, I just think that there’s no need to make an issue of it. You have to know that if you really carry this matter further, I’m afraid that even if you want to transfer to another class, no teacher will be willing to accept you! Perhaps I really didn’t handle it properly.” Hu Ping swallowed hard and carefully weighed her words. “However, it’s not right for you to contradict the teacher in public today. Why don’t we both take a step back today? I won’t pursue your behavior of contradicting me anymore. There’s no need for you to make such a big deal out of it. As for the dispute between you and Zhao Yanran, I will investigate it properly..”
