23 Are You Threatening Me?

- Prinicipal's Office.

The principal couldn't help but sigh at the sight of the four people in front of his desk.

He solemnly said, "Student Li, Miss- Elite Student Song has complained about you bullying her. Is it true?"

Li Yuri widened her eyes as she said, "Principal! This is slander! When did I bully her?? She's just-"

Lu Jeongshan looked at Li Yuri and said, "Don't talk."

Li Yuri pouted as she shut her mouth. Tang Min, at the side couldn't help but yell, "Why would you tell her to shut up! It's not her fault! Let her talk!"

The principal said sternly, "Student Tang, I haven't informed your mother about this matter. How about I call her right now?"

"You-" Tang Min was about to refute but soon stopped as he closed his mouth and didn't say anything.

Song Lin spoke at this time.

She glared at Li Yuri with hatred as she said coldly, "Headmaster Yun, Li Yuri was the one who dumped the paint bucket into me! She holds a grudge against me since Class 1-1 and 1-2 are enemies!"

Principal Yun sighed again as he said, "Student Li, since you've bullied Classmate Song, I'll have to add a demerit to your-"

At this moment, Lu Jeongshan suddenly spoke, "Principal, it's not her fault. Song Lin was the one who came in and the paint bucket coincidentally fell on her."

Song Lin gritted her teeth as she screeched, "You-"

Lu Jeongshan shot her an icy glare which made her shut up.

He turned to the principal, who was in deep thought, as he added coldly, "If you insist on giving her a demerit, the Lu Group will take back their investments for the new building."

Hearing his words, the Principal's face turned pale. He pursed his lips as he gravely asked, "Student Lu, are you threatening me?"

Lu Jeongshan indifferently looked at him. He seemed to be in a deep thought and the fists at his side were slightly clenched.

After a while, he raised his head and said with a cold face, "Yes."

Li Yuri turned to look at him in immense shock. Bro Shan actually.. For her, he actually dared to threaten the Principal?!

Even Tang Min's face betrayed his bewilderment. He looked at Lu Jeongshan and then at Li Yuri. A thought came to his mind.

Should I... Really give up?

Meanwhile, Song Lin bit her lips as she muttered, "Principal, I-"

The principal shook his head as he said, "Since it is like this, you all are dismissed." He turned to Lu Jeongshan as he sternly said, "I'll contact your father."

The latter was nonchalant as usual. "Then we'll get going, Headmaster."

He then put his hands on his pocket as he exited the office. Li Yuri quickly followed after him.

Tang Min looked at them before turning to Principal Yun and saying, "Principal. Please check the CCTV footage yourself."

He gave a last glance at Song Lin before strutting outside.

Song Lin dug her nails on her palms as she also angrily left the office.

After everyone left, Principal Yun dialed a number and a deep voice resounded from the other end.

"Hello?"

He respectfully called out, "Master Lu, it's me, Principal of Kingdom High."

"How was it?" Seeing them coming out one by one, the worried Mo Xuanji couldn't help but ask with concern.

Li Yuri pouted but at the end of the sentence, her expression was cheerful, "That Song Lin accused me of bullying and I almost got a demerit but Bro Shan helped me!"

Su Lan heaved a sigh. "Thank god, otherwise Riri, you would have.."

Li Yuri proudly smiled as she walked towards Lu Jeongshan.

"Bro Shan, you won't be in trouble because of me, right? The principal said that he will call your dad! What if.."

Lu Jeongshan silently looked at her worried face. He wanted to rub her head and say that he'll be okay but he controlled himself.

He then calmly said, "Nothing will happen." Even if anything did happen, he didn't really care. He just wanted to protect her by any means.

He has already decided.

One day...

He'll have his own power and won't rely on his family to protect her...

Lu Mansion.

Lu Jeongshan walked inside and felt the gloomy atmosphere in the whole mansion. He quietly walked as all the servants greeted him. "Young Master."

He raised his eyebrows at the butler. The butler sighed as he said, "Master wants to meet you." He simply nodded his head and continued walking.

He stopped his tracks when the butler worriedly whispered, "Master is very angry right now, please don't agitate him."

Lu Jeongshan nodded his head again. Then the butler led him to the study and left.

After he left, Lu Jeongshan took a deep breath before knocking on the door and entering.

The moment he entered, a teacup flew towards his direction. "YOU IMBECILE!"

Lu Jing angrily roared at him. Lu Jeongshan hadn't dodged as the teacup pierced into his forehead, leaving an injury as blood trickled down.

But his face was as calm as ever. Lu Jing was even more frustrated as he saw his calm expression.

"Headmaster Yun just called and said that you used the Lu Group's name to threaten him, just to protect a measly girl?! Tell me, who is she?!"

Lu Jeongshan's eyes flickered with a dangerous glint as he clenched his teeth and said with a chilly voice, "She has nothing to do with this matter!"

Lu Jing laughed coldly, "So you're trying to protect a bumpkin now! What did she do exactly that you're so bewitched by her?!"

Veins popped in Lu Jeongshan's clenched fists as he spoke expressionlessly, "Lu Jing, watch your mouth!"

Lu Jing was really enraged now. "You dare call your father by name?! What, are you muddle-headed by puppy love?! I should've disciplined you earlier to prevent this from happening!"
