160: staged accident

Mrs. White had been acting unreasonably. Seeing that Lu Qingyu remained silent, she pointed at him and said, "Now, apologize to my son immediately."

Lu Qingyu glanced at Mrs. White. This woman was quite arrogant, actually expecting him to apologize?

Lu Qingyu closed his eyes; there was no point in reasoning with a shrew.

Being ignored, Mrs. White completely imagined Lu Qingyu as an unreasonable, arrogant person who had given up on himself, so her words began to turn vicious:

"Mr. Dunn, I not only doubt this school's management ability now but also its admissions process. You are one of the top five schools in the country; when did the threshold become so low? How can such an arrogant, rude, and uncultured student enter your school?"

Mrs. White's gaze turned toward Lu Qingyu. If looks could kill, she would be releasing a ton of toxin right now. She hated these people the most; why didn't God just kick them out?

"Didn't your parents teach you manners? Or are you just born as such lowly, bad seeds?"

Dunn and the Principal couldn't take it anymore; Mrs. White's words were simply too foul. The Principal had a serious expression; Mrs. White was being far too unscrupulous. Just as he was about to reprimand her, the door to the Principal's office was pushed open.

Qi Fei arrived with a lawyer. Having heard that his boss had been in a fight and fearing he might be bullied, Qi Fei brought a highly-paid lawyer hired by the company.

Qi Fei looked at Lu Qingyu immediately. "Boss, are you alright?"

Lu Qingyu shook his head. He had asked Hans for a small favor, having Hans send the video of the fight to Qi Fei. On his way over, Qi Fei had also heard Hans's explanation, so he understood most of what had happened.

The lawyer Qi Fei brought this time was Jody Black, a Black lawyer. Mrs. White's heart skipped a beat when she saw Jody Black.

Dunn: "And you are?"

Qi Fei: "I am Lu Qingyu's guardian, and this is our lawyer, Jody Black."

Dunn: "Jody Black? The Jody Black?"

Dunn seemed to have heard of Jody's exploits and was somewhat shocked upon hearing his name.

Jody: "That's right, it's me."

Black people face discrimination in all walks of life, especially in high-knowledge, high-paying industries. Jody had outstanding professional abilities, ranking third in the United States for his winning rate. He was particularly skilled at handling justice-seeking lawsuits, and combined with the convenience provided by his skin color, he had a certain advantage in political trends.

For example, if an opponent was immensely powerful and bribed court personnel to win, then the judge and that company would be labeled as racist. For a company accused of racial discrimination, winning a lawsuit was no different from losing.

Although it sounded a bit melodramatic, it was effective. Because of this, Jody was like a persistent nuisance in the eyes of many lawyers—someone no one wanted to touch.

He also had many famous cases, such as when a white police officer shot and killed a Black man. Jody organized public protests and even sent the white officer to prison for 140 years.

As a lawyer herself, Mrs. White naturally knew this, which was why she panicked the moment she saw Jody.

Jody also knew Mrs. White and had heard of many of her deeds. He never had the chance to face off against her, so wasn't today a coincidence?

Jody said directly, "We watched the surveillance video on the way here. We will file a lawsuit for Mr. Stan's provocation of my client and the gang assault by him and his friends. Additionally, this lady's verbal insults just now have caused serious psychological harm to my client, and we will file a lawsuit for that as well."

Mrs. White didn't want to mess with Jody, so her tone softened slightly. "My son is the one who was seriously injured, while he is perfectly fine. How about this: we both take a step back and handle this according to the Principal's decision?"

Qi Fei looked at Lu Qingyu. Lu Qingyu held his head with one hand and his chest with the other. "My head hurts, I feel nauseous, and I'm scared."

Jody: "Your act of ganging up on him caused serious harm to my client. If my client weren't skilled in combat, he might have been carried to the hospital today. The law won't find him at fault just because he's capable—at most, it's excessive defense. However, the insults from you and your son have also caused psychological damage to my client. This matter won't just end like this."

Mrs. White felt anxious. She had originally thought Lu Qingyu was just some yellow-skinned kid she could bully at will, but she didn't expect him to hire Jody. Damn it, things were troublesome now.

However, this matter absolutely could not be taken outside the campus today. Otherwise, with Jody's lunatic personality, there was no telling what he might do.

Taking advantage of Lu Qingyu's young age, Mrs. White's tone carried a hint of a threat: "I advise you to think carefully. This isn't Japan or South Korea."

"You still have to study here; offending us will cost you more than it's worth."

Lu Qingyu's temper flared. Damn it, it never ends. The son misunderstood him as Japanese or Korean, and now the mother was doing the same.

Lu Qingyu: "Mr. Jody, Mrs. White insulted me verbally before you arrived, but I think those are minor matters."

Everyone looked at Lu Qingyu. What did he mean? Was he really backing down because of Mrs. White's threat?

Mrs. White also thought so, but Lu Qingyu's next words made their expressions change drastically.

Lu Qingyu: "One or two people like this aren't scary. What's scary is a whole group of them. I heard Mrs. White is a lawyer. I'm curious what kind of work environment makes her so discriminatory against Asians. If a whole group of people is racist, then I'm very worried about the international situation. Oh, by the way, student Stan's behavior makes me curious too. It probably isn't just inherited from his mother; I wonder if his father's genes are involved as well."

Jody was a smart man and immediately understood. Lu Qingyu wanted to blow things up and drag both of Stan's parents into it.

The two smart people exchanged a glance and immediately understood each other.

"I will hold a press conference regarding today's events and disclose everything to the public."

Mrs. White's face turned pale. Dunn stood to the side without speaking, but he felt strangely vindicated. Previously, it was always Mrs. White using public opinion to threaten others.

Because they were both white, as long as Mrs. White embellished the story about her son slightly, it would be very difficult for him and the Principal.

But Jody was different. He was Black. Because of the history of oppression and slavery, with Jody as the lawyer, everyone's first reaction to the case would definitely be: was his client also oppressed? They must have been bullied. Which racist white person is disgracing us again?

Dunn chuckled inwardly; every master has his match.

Stan didn't dare to speak now; he felt that his mother seemed very wary of the opposing lawyer.
