Chapter 1117: Chapter 1117

At that time, not only would the matter be impossible to conceal, but the school would also be accused of hiding the truth, bearing even greater responsibility.

"Director Li, immediately notify all students to return to their classrooms for assembly. If no student passes out within an hour, let them go home after school."

After pondering for a moment, Principal Hao decisively issued an order:

"Inform all students that classes are suspended today and tomorrow, and they are on holiday."

After speaking, Principal Hao walked towards the ambulance.

"Principal, where are you going?"

Director Li asked anxiously.

"I’m definitely going with the students to the hospital. Such a big incident, as the principal, I must step in to mediate."

Principal Hao waved his hand without looking back. Despite already imagining how angry these students’ parents would be, he had to face them.

When Liu Mengting was lifted into the ambulance, Li Xiaoli and Chen Cang insisted on going to the hospital together.

Principal Hao, knowing Liu Mengting’s special status, thought it was good for her to have friends by her side and convinced the medical staff to let them accompany her to the hospital.

On the way to the hospital, Chen Cang and Li Xiaoli gradually calmed down. Their first reaction upon regaining composure was to inform Tang Ming about the incident.

It was this very call that interrupted the romantic atmosphere between Tang Ming and Xia Weier as they were getting closer.

When Tang Ming received the call and heard that something happened to Liu Mengting, he immediately rushed out of the house with Xia Weier, hailing a cab to the hospital.

The corridor outside the emergency room at the hospital was filled with well-dressed middle-aged men and women. These were the parents who arrived at the hospital as soon as they received the school’s notification.

Upon reaching the hospital and seeing their child being taken into the emergency room for resuscitation, many parents nearly broke down on the spot.

"How could this happen? My daughter was perfectly fine when she went to school this morning. Why is she now in the emergency room?"

"What kind of management does the school have? On the first day of school, so many students passed out. What are the school leaders doing?"

"If anything happens to my child, I won’t let the school get away with it."

"We pay so much tuition every year, only for our children to suffer."

A group of parents blocked the door, surrounding Principal Hao and venting their dissatisfaction angrily.

"Everyone, calm down, calm down!"

Principal Hao, looking embarrassed, tried to soothe the parents’ emotions, saying helplessly: "Nobody wants to see such incidents happen to students at school. But now that it has, we must trust the doctors, trust in medicine."

"You bastard, saying such empty words at this moment. I’m going to file a complaint against you."

Upon hearing this, someone angrily shouted.

"All the students are in the hospital, and yet, no teacher passed out. Your school must have done something bad to my child."

A plump, sharp-faced middle-aged woman grabbed Principal Hao by the collar, yelling, "My daughter is so beautiful. Did she meet a wolf in teacher’s clothing?"

"No, absolutely not."

Principal Hao shook his head vigorously, swearing loudly: "All our school’s teachers are very professional and ethical. They would never do anything illegal or disorderly."

"That’s not right; it must be this way. I just saw that all the students being sent to the emergency room are girls. Why aren’t there any boys?"

The more the plump woman thought about it, the more suspicious things seemed, and she shouted, tugging at Principal Hao’s collar.

"My child is also a girl. What did you do to her?"

Upon hearing this, the other parents realized that all the fainted students appeared to be girls, which was hard not to make anyone suspicious.

Thinking that their daughters might have received some kind of heinous treatment at school, the group of parents lost control of their emotions and began to attack, tearing at Principal Hao.

Some even started punching and kicking Principal Hao, who was nearly losing their minds.

Principal Hao held his head in his hands, at a loss for words. The emotionally charged parents gave no room for an explanation, leaving him to endure the beating and insults.

Li Xiaoli sat on a chair, crying continuously, and muttered, "I won’t ever upset Sister Meng Meng again."

Chen Cang stood beside Li Xiaoli, keeping vigil with a face full of sorrow.

"Everyone, please don’t act rashly, stay calm."

As Principal Hao was close to being torn apart, Liu Gaoze appeared in the corridor and quickly stepped in to help break up the chaos.

"Who are you? Why are you speaking up for him?"

The plump woman watched Liu Gaoze with suspicion.

"I’m a shareholder of Tianjiao Middle School, and my name is..."

"So you are the school’s behind-the-scenes boss. How do you manage your people?"

Before Liu Gaoze could finish speaking, the plump woman screamed immediately.

"Since you’re the school’s owner, you must give us an explanation for this incident."

"If anything happens to my daughter, I won’t let you off."

The group of parents immediately turned their attention to Liu Gaoze.

Liu Gaoze quickly waved his hands, shouting loudly: "The school will take full responsibility for this incident. All the hospitalization expenses for the students will be covered by the school."

"Is having money so impressive? Can you buy our daughters’ health with money?"

Hearing this, the plump woman exploded, and the other parents were filled with fury.

The families capable of sending their children to Tianjiao Middle School were either wealthy or influential, except for Xia Weier’s family having special circumstances; they were not short of money.

Annoyed by the noise, Chen Cang punched the wall, creating a dent, and gave everyone a cold stare: "Whoever dares to make noise again and irritates me, I’ll smash their skull."

Witnessing the scene, everyone was frightened, cowering with their necks shrinking back, casting venomous gazes at Liu Gaoze yet not daring to speak up.

"I completely understand your feelings and can empathize with your emotions. However, with the incident already occurred, we can only wait for the doctor’s rescue results."

After a glance at Chen Cang, Liu Gaoze calmly explained to the crowd.

"It’s easy for you to say; it’s not your daughter in the hospital now. You can say whatever you want without fear."

The plump woman coldly eyed Liu Gaoze and cursed.

"Dear parent, our Director Liu’s daughter is right there in the emergency room, and your words are just too harsh."

Principal Hao quickly chimed in to introduce him.

Upon hearing this, the group of parents became suspicious, not expecting the school’s owner’s daughter to be among those affected, rendering all previous negative conjectures untenable.

No school, no matter how bold, would dare target the owner’s daughter; perhaps this truly was an accident.

"I also never wanted such an incident to occur. In fact, I am in the same situation as you now. I only have this one daughter."

Liu Gaoze sighed helplessly.
