86: Chapter 86 Counterattack Escalates

Lin Xiao had long expected this day to come, so he arrived at the Principal's office unhurriedly.

Originally, he intended to come alone, but Lin Wanwan insisted that she would not let him shoulder it by himself.

When the two arrived at the door of this familiar Principal's office once again, their mood was completely different from before.

The initiative was different, too.

After entering, they ignored the presence of Lu Fei and the others and walked straight to the front of the desk.

"I don't know why you called us here. Is there something the matter?"

Lin Xiao asked with a faint smile on his face, looking completely harmless.

"You... what is going on with you two? Is bullying classmates fun?"

Principal Lu Guodong was already trying his best to control his emotions.

But whenever he thought about his precious daughter being bullied by these two, he simply couldn't control himself.

Lin Xiao tilted his head, his eyes full of confusion. "Principal Lu, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

Lin Wanwan also nodded in agreement, her face full of innocence.

Principal Lu Guodong pointed with a trembling hand at Lu Fei and the others. "They said it themselves—recently, you two have done many outrageous things at school, including pouring glue on their seats and adding things to their water cups... Do you know that this is already school bullying!"

"Huh?"

Lin Xiao covered his mouth in feigned surprise and glanced back at Lu Fei. "They said that?"

Principal Lu Guodong gritted his teeth. "Of course! You two are so lawless, our school..."

Before he could finish, Lin Xiao asked with feigned confusion: "Do you have proof?"

"What did you say?"

Principal Lu Guodong didn't react for a moment.

"I said, as a school leader, you cannot wrong any student... So, is there any proof?"

Lin Xiao looked into Principal Lu Guodong's eyes very seriously.

Although it was a question, his eyes were calm.

Based on his understanding of Principal Lu Guodong, he knew that upon learning his beloved daughter had been bullied, he would definitely be very angry.

If there really were any solid evidence, he wouldn't have the spare time to call them back for questioning; he would have definitely chosen to call the police long ago.

Sure enough, Principal Lu Guodong was choked by this statement and couldn't speak for a long time.

Seeing this, Lu Fei couldn't hold back anymore and shouted, "Dad! Let's call the police!"

"Alright! Call the police!"

Principal Lu Guodong, as if prompted, wanted to grab his phone right then and there. "I don't believe you two will still be so stubborn when the police arrive!"

However, Lin Xiao just laughed out loud.

"Wait, Principal Lu, is it really necessary to call the police over such a small matter? Are you really not afraid of affecting the school's reputation?"

"..."

Principal Lu Guodong paused, his hand hanging in mid-air.

Lin Wanwan also chimed in at the right moment: "Exactly. And even if the police came and investigated and found the truth to be just as they said, it would at most be a prank. It didn't cause any real harm to them, and it's impossible to send us to jail. At most, we'd just be criticized and educated, but by then, the impact on the school and on them would be quite significant, right?"

Hearing these familiar words, Principal Lu Guodong felt his head spinning.

He almost wanted to ask subconsciously, so is this matter just going to be dropped like this?

But recalling his previous humiliation of them, he forced himself not to say it out loud.

However, the girl beside Lu Fei, unaware of the situation, asked this question out loud.

"Then we're just letting it go?"

"Huh? If you really feel unbalanced, we can pool some money together to compensate you, that should be fine, right?"

Watching the script proceed as usual, Lin Xiao felt very satisfied.

However, this was just an eye for an eye.

His real revenge was still to come.

Watching Principal Lu Guodong so angry he couldn't speak, he said nonchalantly: "Principal Lu, the head principal is currently away, and you are in charge of school affairs. You surely wouldn't really jeopardize your own reputation for these irrelevant people, would you?"

"Irrelevant people?"

Principal Lu Guodong looked up, his confusion deepening.

Logically, they had long known that Lu Fei was his daughter, and just now Lu Fei had even called out to him.

Were they saying this now just to anger him?

However, after saying this, Lin Xiao suddenly covered his mouth. "Ah, sorry, I forgot. You seem to be unaware that Lu Fei is not your biological daughter... Oh dear, Sis, what do I do? How could I accidentally blurt out such a secret matter!"

Lin Wanwan hadn't heard Lin Xiao mention this before, and she was very shocked at this moment.

But thinking of Lin Xiao's precognitive ability, she immediately chimed in: "You really were too careless. If you wanted to tell Principal Lu about this, you should have chosen a private opportunity to tell him secretly!"

"Right, right. Let's talk about it later when there's a private opportunity. If there's nothing else, we'll be leaving now."

As Lin Xiao said this, he pretended to be about to leave.

But before he could reach the door, a scream came from behind him: "Lin Xiao! Don't go too far! You can bully me, but to say such things—aren't you afraid I'll call the police and report you for spreading rumors?"

It was just as Lin Xiao had anticipated.

Regarding such an absurd matter, even if Principal Lu was mature and steady and treated it as a joke...

...given Lu Fei's temperament, it was absolutely impossible for her to just let it go.

Lin Xiao turned his head and blinked. "Are you sure you want to call the police? Once the truth is uncovered, it won't just be the few people present who know about it. Can your Lu family really afford to lose face like that?"

"Don't think you can scare me with this! You're talking nonsense and spreading rumors! The police will arrest you!"

As Lu Fei said this, she started looking for her phone in her bag, preparing to call the police.

"Feifei, wait a moment."

After all, Principal Lu Guodong was a mature middle-aged man. Although angry, he had also sensed something wrong in Lin Xiao's words.

Logically, the retorts just now had already vented the grievances they suffered earlier; there was no reason to bring trouble upon themselves in this way.

Spreading rumors to smear a principal was no small matter; was it really necessary for them to do this?

"Lin Xiao, what did you mean by your words just now?"

Principal Lu Guodong asked, narrowing his eyes. "You should also know that this kind of matter is different from those little scuffles between you. If it really affects our family's reputation, we will pursue this to the end."

What Lin Xiao was waiting for was exactly Principal Lu Guodong's digging for answers.

As long as Principal Lu Guodong had doubts in his heart, then what he was about to say next should be listened to.

"Principal Lu, I said Lu Fei is not your biological daughter. Is that hard to understand? If you don't believe me, you can think carefully: when your wife was pregnant, did she leave Beijing for a period of time?"
