Chapter 619: Chapter 619

The video was indeed sent to Huo Mingshan.

But how to use the video, and how to maximize its potential, remained a question.

Huo Feng discussed it with Huo Mingshan for an entire class period, but they didn’t come up with any substantial results.

In the end, the crux of the issue was still the generational gap...

Huo Mingshan, an upstanding man, believed that since this was an illegal act, they should naturally take it straight to court for justice!

According to current laws, whatever should be judged would be judged, and whatever should be compensated would be compensated—it’s fair and reasonable!

However, Huo Feng felt that going to court was useless.

To have someone imprisoned?

Then Pu Sangzhi would hate him...

After all, this evidence was sent by that brat Han Lei as an act of betrayal against his own family.

When all is said and done, you revel in a moment of satisfaction, get the compensation, send someone to prison, and end up ruining all your interpersonal relationships!

Not to mention other interpersonal matters, just by acquiring this evidence, Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi would owe Han Lei a huge favor!

So, even if it was just to pay back Han Lei for this huge favor and not feel indebted to him in the future, they couldn’t make a big fuss of this matter in court. Read complete versıon only at 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅✦𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾✦𝗇𝖾𝗍

Huo Feng believed there must be other ways besides court to gain more benefits, while also finding a solution acceptable to both parties.

On this note, Huo Feng and Huo Mingshan sent WeChat messages back and forth for an entire class period.

The father insisted he was right, and the son believed he had the answers.

Huo Mingshan thought Huo Feng was still a child, ignorant of everything! He wouldn’t consider Huo Feng’s methods!

Huo Feng felt that Huo Mingshan was an old-fashioned stick-in-the-mud, straightforward in thought and action! Unable to outwit sly villains!

The only thing the father and son shared was stubbornness!

Therefore, after failing to communicate during the class period, Huo Mingshan told Huo Feng that he would no longer involve him in the matter; he would handle it as an adult!

Subsequently, Huo Mingshan took it upon himself to send the video directly to Principal Han!

This unexpected move caught Huo Feng completely off guard!

Being in different spaces, once Huo Feng found out Huo Mingshan had sent the video to Principal Han, he was so scared that he bounced up from the sickbed!

Then, Huo Feng felt a tearing sensation in the wound on his back, and he cried out in pain, tilting his head back...

"What are you doing, being all jumpy for no reason?"

Shen Yu, who was playing with her phone by the bed, was startled by Huo Feng and quickly stood up, rushing over, "Why did you move so suddenly? Did it hurt? Don’t move, let me check..."

Shen Yu hurriedly pulled open Huo Feng’s hospital gown, peered inside, and upon seeing the clean bandage, she breathed a sigh of relief, "It’s okay, it looks fine. Be careful with your movements, take it slow..."

"Hiss—hah... Hiss—hah..."

Huo Feng was continually drawing in breaths of cool air, then slowly exhaling, and after several rounds, the pain finally eased a bit.

By then, his rationality had also begun to return.

Shen Yu looked at him with furrowed brows, sighing helplessly, "What are you making such a fuss about? You’re already injured and still squirming around like a monkey!"

"Old Huo, oh old Huo, that guy is toxic! He must have a screw loose in his head!"

Huo Feng, frustrated and furious, picked up his phone, pointing at the WeChat interface where he was chatting with Huo Mingshan.

Shen Yu then asked, "What are you chatting with him about? Let me see."

Huo Feng waved her off, "I’ll show you later. I’ve got important things to handle right now."

Shen Yu, puzzled, "What important matter? Can’t you tell me? Now you’d rather discuss important things with your dad and not with me, is that it?"

"That’s not what I mean."

Huo Feng frowned and retorted, "I’ll tell you after I’ve dealt with this issue. Old Huo’s mess! It’s infuriating! And now he’s dirtied his hands and is expecting me to clean up after him! No wonder, despite being a graduate of a prestigious university, he can only teach at a private school! He’s just a simple-minded, old-fashioned creature. With his way of thinking..."

Shen Yu listened with narrowed eyes: "Hey!"

Huo Feng, unphased, continued, "Only someone as shrewd as my mom would want to keep him! Meeting my mom is surely the good fortune of his past life! Otherwise, with his level of intelligence and emotional quotient, anyone else would have despised him!"

Shen Yu snorted, "You little brat..."

"You always say the most pleasing things!"

At this moment, Huo Feng sighed in his heart: It’s so hard to please the two elders at home; one is more difficult than the other! Really!

Meanwhile, within Longxiang Campus, Huo Mingshan, who said that he would handle the matter as an adult, was having a very serious and formal conversation with Principal Han!

Not long before, Huo Mingshan had sent a video that served as evidence to Principal Han and had also added a message below the video:

"Principal, only today have I learned the truth about this matter. My student, my son, is now lying in the hospital. My treasured student has been isolated by his classmates. It’s time for all of this to be accounted for. I’ve already contacted a lawyer, and the evidence has been handed over to the lawyer. I’m just notifying you now, hoping that you will handle this matter fairly!"

Before Huo Mingshan reached out to Principal Han, he had already found a reliable lawyer through various connections. He had the lawyer analyze the case and expressed his intention to sue the kids who broke the law!

No, they’re no longer kids.

As far as Huo Mingshan knew, Han Feiyi, who was older, had already reached adulthood; the juvenile protection law couldn’t shelter Han Feiyi.

As for Cai Yiwen, he didn’t know, but considering the severity of the case, Huo Mingshan couldn’t care less.

He was determined to sue both girls in court!

Therefore, when Huo Mingshan contacted Principal Han, he had even already notified his lawyer to draft a legal letter, preparing to submit it to the court that very day.

Huo Mingshan might have been old-fashioned in his thinking, but he was very upright!

On the other end of the phone, Principal Han rushed over to Huo Mingshan as soon as he received the message!

It was possibly because Han Guobang knew that such a serious matter could no longer be discussed over the phone or through WeChat.

They had to meet in person, and it could only be in person.

Because, Han Guobang knew Huo Mingshan’s character very well.

So now, Han Guobang and Huo Mingshan sat under a streetlamp outside the teaching building, seated solemnly, communicating in earnest.

The conversation had been going on for roughly ten minutes, mostly about Han Guobang’s concerns regarding Huo Feng’s injuries.

Huo Mingshan responded thoroughly, tackling the details just right, answering with respectful politeness but also standing firm with no room for compromise.

After about ten minutes of this, Han Guobang finally got to the point he wanted to make...

He said, "Mr. Huo, I just want to ask you, can’t we minimize the seriousness of this matter?"

He meant, by implication, that he wanted to protect Han Feiyi’s future.

Huo Mingshan had long guessed his intention, so his answer was very straightforward, "Principal, murder and arson, crimes against the law, cannot be condoned!"

Han Guobang sighed, "I know you are upright, and it’s really hard for you to tolerate this, to swallow this grievance. But in the end, Feiyi is my daughter. You used to hold her when she was little. You’ve been an old instructor at Longxiang for so long, after many years of friendship, do you really have the heart to ruin my daughter’s future?"

"Principal. No, Guobang. Now, speaking to you in a personal capacity, it is better I address you by name, so I don’t have to worry about your status as principal, which could make me hesitant to speak."

Huo Mingshan cleared his throat, his expression serious and sincere as he spoke: "You worry about your daughter’s future, I worry about my son’s life, and I also worry about the life and safety of my student. I have learned about the entire event from the children, and it was truly very cruel!"

With that, Huo Mingshan took a heavy breath and let out a sigh.

With his sigh, the atmosphere around them seemed to become tense.

Because Huo Mingshan’s presence was formidable, as was his mood at that moment, solid as a mountain!

"My son said that on that day, those social ruffians rode motorcycles, each carrying a bottle of sulfuric acid. As they sped by, they took the opportunity to douse two defenseless girls. One bottle was poured all over my student Wen Miao. Another bottle, intended for my student Sangzhi’s face, was blocked by my son who rushed forward with no regard for his own safety, using his back to shield the girls from a full bottle of sulfuric acid, protecting their faces! But the result..."

Huo Mingshan took a deep breath, his hands quietly clenching into fists on his knees, "The result was that when I arrived at the hospital, I saw my son, who would never cry out in pain even from a fight, screaming so loudly the whole room was filled with his voice. His back was corroded by the sulfuric acid, nothing but raw flesh, a messy pool of blood and flesh! My heart ached for him, but at the same time, I was proud of him! Because he protected the girls’ faces with his back!"

"Have you ever thought!"

Huo Mingshan suddenly became passionate, turning his head to glare fiercely at Han Guobang, "If that sulfuric acid had been thrown on Sangzhi’s face! What would become of her life! Such a promising girl, her family struggling through their difficult circumstances! If her life were destroyed by her classmates’ malicious actions! How could I compensate her for a lifetime? How could you compensate her for a lifetime? Moreover, acid to the face could even lead to death! Your daughter is not making a slight mistake, she is a murderer!"

Han Guobang had lots to say.

But facing Huo Mingshan’s righteous indignation, he was at a loss for words!

"What you’re saying is too severe..."

After a long while, Han Guobang managed to squeeze out just those few words.

Of course, those few words ignited Huo Mingshan’s fury!
