Sun Zhaohai said he wasn't labeling anyone, but he certainly was.

Although the position of the president of Jiang University is similar to his.

However, one holds real power in his hands, while the other manages only a university; in terms of status, there is a significant difference.

Seeing Sun Zhaohai angry, Jiang University's Principal Tan Pingwen quickly spoke to soothe him: "Director Sun, please calm down. Rest assured, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer to this issue."

After speaking, Tan Pingwen looked sternly at Jian Ya: "Teacher Jian, what's going on with you today? Qin Chuan started the fight; it's clearly his fault. Is there any point in arguing for him here?"

"Principal Tan, I just think this matter needs to be thoroughly investigated and we can't just listen to this student Sun's one-sided story," Jian Ya explained.

Sun Feng, relying on the backing of Sun Zhaohai, sharply said, "Teacher, what's your motive? Do you think I would falsely accuse him for no reason? Are the injuries on my body self-inflicted?"

As he spoke, Sun Feng patted the injury report on the table.

Yes, after going back that day, he immediately went to the hospital for a check-up, documenting his injuries in a formal report.

Then he started investigating Qin Chuan's social connections.

Upon learning that Qin Chuan was just a country boy who had recently transferred to Jiang University, he immediately complained to his father, Sun Zhaohai, asking him to intervene.

Their purpose in coming today was simple: they wanted Qin Chuan to be expelled.

Simultaneously, they wanted Su Qian to understand the consequences of leaving him, making an example of Qin Chuan.

"Then may I ask you, student Sun, why would Qin Chuan hit you for no reason?" Jian Ya asked with a serious expression.

"He seduced my girlfriend, and when I found out, in a fit of shame and anger, he hit me. Is that reason enough?" Sun Feng stated confidently.

"Earlier, student Su already mentioned that she broke up with you more than half a month ago. How is it that Qin Chuan is accused of seducing your girlfriend?" Jian Ya countered with solid reasoning.

Sun Feng's face darkened again: "Su Qian and I just had a little argument, and then Qin Chuan started harassing her. Isn't that seduction? Does Jiang University intend to harbor a third party intruder?"

At this time, Sun Zhaohai added, "Is this how Jiang University educates and nurtures students? Is a student with such corrupt conduct not to be expelled but kept for the New Year?"

Upon hearing this, Jian Ya's expression became increasingly grim.

The Sun father and son were taking turns sullying Qin Chuan's reputation.

The situation was very unfavorable for Qin Chuan.

Currently, the only one who could speak up for Qin Chuan was herself.

If she backed down now, Qin Chuan's likely outcome would be expulsion.

Thinking of this, Jian Ya argued based on facts: "Student Su just explained the whole incident clearly. She had already broken up with student Sun, and it was student Sun bothering her. Qin Chuan only stepped in to uphold justice…"

"Enough!"

Sun Zhaohai raised his hand and interrupted, looking at Jian Ya displeased: "Teacher, why do you keep distorting facts here? Can't you see that it's just a minor quarrel between young lovers, like Su and Feng?"

Next to him, Sun Feng, emboldened by his father's support, chimed in: "Exactly, exactly. Qianqian was just being a little capricious earlier. Does someone named Qin need to interfere in matters between us?"

"Principal Tan, I request that student Su be brought up to speak about the situation again…"

Jian Ya was about to speak, but unexpectedly, Tan Pingwen said sternly, "Enough, Teacher Jian."

"Principal Tan…"

Jian Ya still wanted to argue, but Tan Pingwen gave her no opportunity to speak.

"You are just Qin Chuan's counselor. You cannot distort the truth just because he is your student. He started the fight, and that is his fault." Tan Pingwen directly framed the issue.

Upon hearing this, Jian Ya's spirit plummeted: "Principal Tan, I know Qin Chuan. He's a very good…"

"Teacher, you have repeatedly defended Qin Chuan. Do you and Qin Chuan have some unspeakable relationship?" Sun Feng suddenly aimed his words at Jian Ya.

Sun Zhaohai nodded upon hearing this: "Your concern for Qin Chuan seems indeed to exceed that of a teacher towards a student. Could it be that you really have something going on with that student surnamed Qin?"

Jian Ya had no desire to entangle with this father and son who only knew how to throw mud on others.

She looked toward Tan Pingwen once again: "Principal Tan, Jiang University is a place of education and nurturing. Students at Jiang University should be protected by the school. Even if we can't cover all angles, at least students should not be treated unjustly!"

Upon hearing this, Tan Pingwen's face immediately darkened.

"Teacher Jian, please be mindful of your tone and position. What kind of attitude are you talking to me with?"

Tan Pingwen was somewhat embarrassed and angry.

He, too, could see that the Sun father and son were targeting Qin Chuan.

But, hierarchy in officialdom kills. What could he do?

Moreover, Qin Chuan did hit someone, and that was his mistake.

Regardless of whether this was unfair, this is reality, this is society's rule.

What position does Jian Ya hold?

A university counselor with no background or power.

Yet now she dares to yell at him, the university principal, in front of outsiders?

And teach him how to do his job?

Tan Pingwen's face turned livid as he sternly reprimanded, "This is not your class. These people are not your students. I asked you to come to assist Director Sun's investigation of Qin Chuan, not to cause trouble."

"If you can't get your attitude in line, Jiang University can't accommodate such a divinity like you."

"I now order you to bring that student Qin Chuan here immediately. You don't need to meddle in other matters, nor should you speak out."

Hearing these words, Jian Ya felt like she was struck by lightning.

Tan Pingwen's attitude left her utterly desperate.

This was almost equivalent to declaring Qin Chuan's expulsion.

"Principal Tan, this matter cannot be decided by only hearing…"

Before she could finish speaking, across from her, Sun Zhaohai sarcastically said, "Principal Tan, is it that your words at Jiang University already hold no weight?"

After speaking, Sun Zhaohai feigned concern and said, "If you're not up to the task, I can speak with colleagues at the Education Bureau to arrange for some strong and capable help for you."

Upon first hearing, it seemed like he was considering Tan Pingwen, but in fact, he was pressuring him.

This is a common tactic used by those in officialdom.

As the president of Jiang University, how could Tan Pingwen not hear the underlying message in his words?

Immediately, he slapped the table sharply, pointing at Jian Ya: "Get Qin Chuan for me at once. If I don't see him within half an hour, you won't need to hold onto your teaching position!"

At this moment, the door to the principal's office slammed open: "No need to call, I'm here!"
