A fate worse than death

The usually quiet principal's office was especially lively today.

The principal was a little shocked to see the vice-principal enter being pushed with a wheelchair by the director. He had not been involved in the academy's affair for a long time so he did not know what happened with Li Wei Guo.

"What's going on?" The principal sneered at the vice-principal, knowing if he offended Lu Chu Yao he might get killed. 

When Li Wei Guo saw the principal, he finally told him the 'truth' about the matter. It was roughly that Ning Sheng wanted to seduce him to get a position and get the teaching qualification of an excellent intern graduate. He emphasized that he was not interested and got beaten up.

He also emphasized that he didn't know that Ning Sheng had learned mixed martial arts.

He was acting like a victim and was asking the principal to help him.

Lu Chu Yao didn't say a word and allowed him to finish. His original cold look was replaced with a hint of anger. He looked at Li Wei Guo as if he came from hell. Just this gaze alone sent a chill down Li Wei Guo's spine.

"You mean to say, she tried to harass you just for her career?" The voice was hoarse and low, with a faint threat and questioning tone.

Lu Chu Yao was certain if Li Wei Guo were to agree with that sentence, he would lose an arm or leg. 

Li Wei Guo frowned and looked at Lu Chu Yao. The man's aura was intimidating. He was wearing branded clothing from a brand that would only be recognized by a smaller group of people. Yet, as Lu Chu Yao was sitting comfortably on the couch, it displayed an image that everyone should be looking at him.

What was the relationship between this man and Ning Sheng?

"It's a fact that Ning Sheng hit me!" Li Wei Guo shouted, this point was unquestionable.

The principal had roughly guessed what had happened from all the rumors he had heard about the vice-principal. But he never had any evidence therefore he did not bother doing anything. He did not expect everything to get revealed today.

"Li Wei Guo, you'd better tell me everything clearly!" The principal was serious.

There was no way Lu Chu Yao's family would have to seduce the vice-principal for a position in the academy. Yet, Li Wei Guo was still going with his 'truth' from earlier.

At this moment, Lin Shang entered the office and handed Lun Chu Yao a phone. Lu Chu Yao's expression changed immediately and clicked on the recording.

"Perhaps we could have a little chat... Maybe sleep with me... I..."

"Ning Sheng, let me tell you the truth. I am the one who decides who becomes a full-time employee. If you would just listen to me obediently, I could give you what you want. If you go against me, then don't blame me for being cruel."

"...."

"Ning Sheng, if you hadn't rejected me just now, I would have treated you very, very well. But you rejected me, so I'll make you wish you were dead."

This was the content of the conversation between Ning Sheng and vice-principal Li Wei Guo.

Ning Sheng had recorded it.

At this point, it was already very clear that Li Wei Guo was not the victim.

Lu Chu Yao's eyes were bloodthirsty and cold. He stood up and slowly walked in front of Li Wei Guo. Looking at his swollen face, Lu Chu Yao said without any emotion, "I'll make you wish you were dead. I'll return this sentence to you."

Li Wei Guo was inexplicably afraid of this unfamiliar man.

He looked at the principal, only to find that the principal was looking at him coldly.

The principal said seriously, "Third master, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I'll make Ning Sheng a permanent employee. As for Li Wei Guo, I'll deal with him too. Please don't worry."

"Leave him to me," Lu Chu Yao gestured to Lin Shang, who was behind him, to take the man away.

A fate worse than death, was it?
