43 "Xuiye is blessed to have friends like us"

However, Mo Lingtan stopped them. "No… wait… we can't show this footage to them.".

"Why…Big Brother?" Mo Xingjuan asked.

Even, all of the others looked at Mo Lingtan in confusion. Didn't he call them to help Lee Xuiye?

Now, he was stopping them. Why?

"Don't forget Chi Rui'er's father is the biggest investor of this school. If we show all this footage to them, then he will immediately erase all the footage and never let anyone know that it was Chi Rui'er and her friends' mistake in the first place. Even all the management would take his side and Principal Sir wouldn't do anything against the management. And even if Principal Sir would want to do anything, all the management will replace Principal Sir. In the end, it will still be Lee Xuiye, who will lose." Mo Lingtan explained.

"Lingtan is right. No one would lift their finger against Chi Rui'er." Li Yan agreed.

Li Yan was one of the boys among Mo Lingtan's gang.

"Then, what should we do? We can't leave Lee Xuiye. After knowing that it was not her fault for beating Chi Rui'er and her friends, it is not fair to her." Mo Xingjuan lamented.

"Don't worry, I have a plan." Mo Lingtan assured her and took out his mobile.

Mo Lingtan dialed a number and after a few rings, the person on the other side picked up.

["Hey, Junior, What's up, man?"]

"I am fine. Senior, I need your help."

["Tell me, how can I help you?"]

"Senior, there is one footage related to school ragging. Could you please help me to bring it in the news?"

["School Ragging…Wow… and that too in Capital Imperial School…Sounds interesting. Don't worry, send me the footage and your work will be done!"]

"Thanks, Senior".

["Anything for you junior, bye"]

"Bye".

Mo Lingtan hung up.

"Wow…I can't believe you have friends in the media also." Lu Yichen said in amusement.

"He is my senior, who is an intern in a news agency. We became friends during my art classes." Mo Lingtan explained.

"Wow…Big Brother… you are awesome. Xuiye is blessed to have friends like us." Mo Xingjuan happily exclaimed.

"When she will be saved from the management, we should take a treat from her." Li Yan suggested.

"Of course!" Lu Yichen supported Li Yan.

Afterward, Mo Lingtan's gang left and Mo Lingtan, Mo Xingjuan along with Lu Yichen waited for Lee Xuiye outside the Principal's office.

-----

Inside the Principal's office...

After a while, the Principal finally announced his decision. "Fine. Since you are accepting this allegation, therefore, you are expelled from this school for causing violence in the school."

At that exact moment, the door of the principal's office was suddenly pushed open from the outside. The secretary of the principal swiftly strode inside towards the principal and showed him, something on his phone.

After a few minutes, the principal's facial expression changed. No one knew what was going on, the management was whispering with each other and even Lee Xuiye was looking at the Principal in confusion.

All of sudden, what was happening?

The principal cleared his throat to get the attention of everyone. Everyone looked at him curiously.

"Lee Xuiye, are you sure that you don't want to say anything against the allegation?" The Principal again confirmed.

"What is the meaning of this? She already accepted that she used violence in the school and beaten her fellow friends without any reason. So why are you still wanting to confirm something from her?" Chi Rui'er's father asked in an angry tone.

" 'Beaten her fellow friends without any reason?" The principal raised his brows and repeated the words of Chi Rui'er's father and continued, "Then what will you say after seeing this?" The principal gave the phone to his secretary to pass it on to Chi Rui'er's father.

Chi Rui'er's father took the phone from the secretary and saw what the principal was referring to? After a few minutes of watching the video on the phone, his facial expression also changed "This…"

The Principal looked at Lee Xuiye and asked, "Lee Xuiye, why didn't you tell us that Chi Rui'er and her friends bullied you first? Don't you know that ragging is not allowed in this school? So, Why didn't you complain about this to me?"

Lee Xuiye was shocked. How did Principal know about this, when she didn't tell anyone about it? 

The principal hinted something to his secretary and she then took the phone from Chi Rui'er's father before passing it onto Lee Xuiye. Lee Xuiye hesitantly took the phone from her.

This was the footage, which Mo Lingtan and his gang had copied from the security room and there was also the confession of those three girls in, which they had confessed in front of Mo Lingtan. Those stupid girls didn't know that Mo Lingtan's gang was secretly recording their confession in their mobile phones.

"Since the day Lee Xuiye was admitted to this school, every teacher has praised her for her academic excellence in our school. She is also good at sports. We felt envious, so we thought to teach her a lesson that's why we bullied her…" 'Girl 2' confessed while crying.

Lee Xuiye was startled to see 'Girl 2's confession. Didn't she have the right to study sincerely and receive appreciation from the teachers?

Who didn't like to be appreciated?

"Can anyone tell us what is happening?" One of the investors from the management committee asked.

"Everyone, please take out your phones and see XYZ News channel. There is news about our school airing at this moment." The Principal informed the management.

Immediately everyone took out their phones and looked for the XYZ news channel. Everyone's faces turned ugly because ragging was severely criticized by the government and a reputed school like Capital Imperial School had a case of ragging. More so, the news regarding that had already been leaked to the public. This meant that this news would severely affect the reputation of their school.

Of course, management wouldn't be happy with this. So what if Chi Rui'er's father was a big investor of the school? His shares in the school were still less than the rest of the management.

The principal dismissed Lee Xuiye from the office. Now they had a big problem in front of them which they had to solve immediately. Otherwise, they would have to shut down their school and apart from facing criticism from the public and also have to face the Education Department of the government.

Lee Xuiye came out of the Principal's office and saw that Mo Lingtan, Mo Xingjuan and Lu Yichen were waiting outside.

As soon as they saw Lee Xuiye, Mo Xingjuan and Lu Yichen immediately ran towards her.

"Did you guys leak that video on the internet?" Lee Xuiye asked.

"What do you think? Other than us, who else would help you and have an excellent idea like this?" Lu Yichen immediately started to praise himself.

"Shut up! It was Big Brother's idea" Mo Xingjuan reprimanded him.

Lee Xuiye immediately looked at Mo Lingtan, who was still standing at his place.

"Hey… Lingtan, why are you still standing there? Come here and take the treat from Xuiye for helping her…come… come." Lu Yichen called out to Mo Lingtan.

However, instead of coming towards them, Mo Lingtan turned around and left.

It seemed like he was angry.
