Dragon Raja 2; Chapter 110: Engagement (3)

Dragon Raja 2

“And as vice principal, you still collect your monthly salary but hide in your loft drinking and reading adult magazines—you have no right to say that,” Anjou’s brows drooped a bit, looking somewhat listless. The file in the Watchman’s hand was the formal impeachment document issued by the School Board, neatly organized with solid evidence. It seemed that this investigation team was serious. After four days, Andrew suddenly toughened up, rejecting all of the vice principal’s activities and then publicly releasing the document.

“Most things can be explained away, like ‘showing special care to young, attractive female students.’ I’ve already covered for you on that… but the Chu Zihang issue…” The Watchman scratched his head.

“Hey, hey, how did you cover for me?” Anjou inexplicably grew a little tense.

“I said you’re getting old, life lacks joy, so interacting with young women is good for your cardiovascular health—harmless enough. Besides, you’re also very attentive to male students like Lu Mingfei, so it doesn’t look like you have any inappropriate intentions…”

“Hey! Were you sent by the School Board to frame me?”

“Forget about that for now, let’s talk about Chu Zihang. He’s your vulnerable point right now, and you’ve decided to protect him. Don’t underestimate this investigation team—even though Andrew’s an idiot, Frost must be controlling things behind the scenes. After a short period of confusion, they’ve regrouped and launched an attack, concentrating their firepower on Chu Zihang in front of all department heads. The department heads are the core of this College. If they believe you’re unfit to continue as principal, that’s when you’ll truly be ousted. They won’t care about your questionable behavior…”

“Hey! My behavior isn’t questionable!” Anjou argued.

“I already said those are minor issues! Forget about them for now!” The vice principal appeared very magnanimous. “But the department heads will care if you bring dangerous bloodlines into the campus—that’s your fatal flaw. They’ve decided to hold an internal hearing about it. Though they call it a hearing, it’s actually a trial against you, with Chu Zihang standing in for you. You and he are now tied together—if he falls, you fall too. The jury consists of all the lifetime professors, and the judge is Solomon himself, the leader among the professors.”

“We can assign a lawyer to Chu Zihang, right?”

“You’ve got me! Your reliable old friend! I’ll represent the college’s management team and fiercely criticize the investigation team—watch my grand performance!”

Anjou shot him a glance, “You sound quite suspicious…”

“Anyway, I’m the only lawyer or enforcer you have to send out right now… Want some professional legal advice?” The vice principal crossed his legs like a seasoned litigator, puffing on his cigarette.

“Sure,” Anjou shrugged, “What kind of preparations should we make to win this trial?”

The vice principal chopped down with his hand as if it were a blade, “Of course, we destroy the evidence!”

“You are utterly devoid of morals… but I like it. Alright, let’s discuss how to destroy the evidence.” Anjou nodded.

“There are even more specialized people for destroying evidence!” The vice principal clapped his hands and called out, “Come in!”

The door opened, and Anjou sucked in a sharp breath, shocked as he eyed the face filled with a defeated smile. “Finger? Didn’t you already graduate? Weren’t you assigned to the Execution Bureau as a special agent? Why are you here?”

“At your service, Principal!” Finger bowed and scraped.

“Our college’s most outstanding news expert, though his grades were a bit poor.” The vice principal patted Finger’s shoulder heavily, “He already has a preliminary plan to help us win this trial.”

“He’s a student! Involving him in this will let him know too much that he shouldn’t!” Anjou’s voice was cold, “Those who know too much among us usually don’t live the longest!”

“Trust our young people!” The vice principal slung his arm around Finger’s neck, “Just like how you chose Lu Mingfei, Finger is someone I chose. Don’t be too surprised; think about the name of the college’s discussion forum.”

Anjou remembered—the discussion forum was called… “The Watchman Forum.”

Suddenly, everything made sense. The name wasn’t just the students expressing respect for the vice principal—he was the mastermind behind it all. When he wasn’t drinking or reading magazines featuring beautiful women in the loft, he was actively cultivating his influence among the students. He controlled the “News Department,” that shameless paparazzi group that dared to publish Anjou’s official travel expenses and old photos of department heads’ first girlfriends online, resulting in almost no one on campus daring to offend the News Department.

Anjou resisted the urge to throw furniture at these two characters. “Alright, Finger, can you keep a secret? What are your terms?”

“Graduation.” Finger stood at attention.

“You’re… a 2XXX student, right? You haven’t graduated yet?” Anjou was surprised. Somewhere outside of his attention, such a remnant had survived.

“Principal, you’ve hit on my sore spot…”

“Alright, deal. If Chu Zihang keeps his enrollment after the hearing, you’ll graduate at the end of the academic year.” Anjou sighed, “How is it possible? You were once an A-Rank student that we had high hopes for!”

“Now I’m ‘G’-rank…” Finger showed rare embarrassment.

“There are… levels that low?” Anjou was shocked once more.

“They made it just for me… because I dropped in rank again.”

Anjou shook his head, “Alright, I guess the vice principal has already told you everything. I know we have a lot of evidence that can’t be hidden, so tell me your plan.”

Finger opened his folder, his voice low, his demeanor professional, “Chu Zihang, third-year, A-Rank student, a key training target for the college. He has experience in thirteen missions, and contrary to his mild demeanor, his methods are harsh and reckless. Take the recent mission in China as an example—his near out-of-control actions led to fifty-three people being hospitalized. The fact that no one died can only be attributed to his luck. Records show that he has received a demerit for each of his thirteen missions. If it weren’t for Professor Schneider of the Execution Bureau being his mentor, he would have been expelled long ago. Add in his unextinguishable golden eyes and dangerous Yanling, it’s clear that his continued enrollment is indeed a management loophole on our part.”
