"My grades are all real!"
"What gives you the right to accuse me like this?"
Being directly accused by Ding Baohua of faking her grades, Du Yunyun's eyes turned red with anger.
Despite being a girl and from a rural background, Du Yunyun had strong self-esteem and high standards for herself, especially in her studies.
Being spoken to like that face-to-face made her feel terrible. If Du Fei hadn't been there, she might have burst into tears.
"What's wrong, just a little girl, and you're throwing a tantrum? I've been in education for so many years, and I've seen plenty of students like you. Your grades are a mess, and you want to use connections and pull strings!"
"That might work with others, but I, Ding Baohua, won't fall for your tricks. Get out! Get out right now!"
Ding Baohua didn't expect Du Yunyun to dare talk back to him. He slammed his fist on the table, shouting in anger.
Du Fei first patted Du Yunyun's shoulder, then stepped forward, standing in front of her.
The previously distressed Du Yunyun looked at Du Fei's back, like a towering mountain, and instantly felt a sense of security.
"My sister's grades are all the result of her own hard work. You, this fellow, know nothing and yet you call them fake and accuse us of using connections. You call yourself a teacher? You should really look at your own words and actions. Which part of you deserves it?"
Du Fei looked at Ding Baohua coldly.
He didn't know why Ding Baohua was targeting Du Yunyun, but the man's condescending attitude made him think he was something special.
"You say I'm not fit to be a teacher? Fine. You two remember this: I, Ding Baohua, say that as long as I'm at City First High School for one day, you'll never set foot inside its gates! If you don't leave, I'll have the security guards escort you out!"
Ding Baohua was furious, provoked by Du Fei's words.
He then picked up the phone on his desk, dialed a number, and as soon as it connected, he yelled into the receiver, asking for security to send some guards, as there were people making a scene in his office.
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect things to escalate like this. How about this, why don't you leave first, and we can discuss it when Principal Hu returns."
With the situation reaching this point, Wang Xuerui didn't want things to get any uglier. He planned to have Du Fei and his sister leave for now and see how things could be handled when Vice Principal Hu returned.
Although Du Yunyun was very upset by Ding Baohua's words, the young girl felt that there was no point in continuing to argue with him.
So, she tugged at Du Fei's arm, "Brother, it's not a big deal if we don't go to City First High School. Let's go."
"Sister, don't worry. You're going to City First High School, I promise you!"
Du Fei looked at Du Yunyun, his tone full of conviction.
Hearing this, Ding Baohua scoffed, "I'm dying of laughter. What can you guarantee? You're sure you're not leaving? Fine, in a few more minutes, I'll have someone carry you out!"
"Director Ding, do you really need to go that far?"
Wang Xuerui frowned. He found Ding Baohua's behavior very distasteful.
At this moment, Du Fei took out his phone.
"I brought my sister to report to City First High School, and there's been a problem. You said you knew someone before, can you ask him to come over? Alright, fine, I'll wait for him in the dean's office."
Seeing Du Fei making a call, Ding Baohua tilted his head and said, "Oh, quite impressive, calling someone? I'm not afraid to tell you, no matter who you call, the outcome will be the same!"
A few minutes later, the door to Ding Baohua's office was pushed open, and several men in security uniforms walked in.
"Director Ding."
The leader walked up to Ding Baohua and greeted him.
Ding Baohua pointed at Du Fei. "These two are making a scene in my office. Get them out."
The leader had already noticed Du Fei and Du Yunyun. After all, Ding Baohua and Wang Xuerui inside were from the school, whom he recognized. He hadn't seen Du Fei and Du Yunyun before.
Now that Ding Baohua had spoken, he nodded.
"Brothers, let's get to work."
The other security guards formed a semicircle, surrounding Du Fei and Du Yunyun.
"Friend, I believe you've heard what Director Ding said. If you're willing to leave voluntarily now, everyone will be spared trouble. But if you don't cooperate, don't blame us for being impolite."
The leader of the security guards intended to persuade them before resorting to force.
Although he should listen to Ding Baohua, he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble for himself.
There had been instances of parents causing trouble at the school before, and many similar situations.
Once, while escorting a parent out, an accidental dispute occurred, and a security guard unintentionally pushed the person to the ground. Since the fall was on the head, the incident escalated significantly later on.
Even though he had followed procedures correctly, he still received disciplinary action from the school, and half of his year-end bonus was withheld.
Since then, he tried his best to avoid any physical contact whenever possible.
Du Fei glanced at his phone and then said, "Five minutes."
"What five minutes? Not even five seconds! Get them out immediately!"
Ding Baohua pointed at Du Fei and shouted.
Upon hearing Ding Baohua's command, the leader of the security guards had no choice but to act.
As he led the guards closer to Du Fei, they suddenly saw a blur.
The next second, Du Fei, for some reason, had appeared behind them and was now standing in front of Ding Baohua.
"You, you, what do you want to do!"
Ding Baohua felt as if he had only blinked, and Du Fei was already in front of him.
Despite Du Fei's arrogance just moments ago, Ding Baohua was now so scared that he stammered.
Du Fei said coldly, "Don't force me to act!"
"I said, five minutes. During this time, you'd best stand still, otherwise, your Director Ding might be in trouble."
The leader of the security guards was about to signal his men to surround them when Du Fei reached out and placed his hand on Ding Baohua's shoulder.
Ding Baohua trembled with fear.
The five minutes passed quickly.
At this moment, a series of hurried footsteps were heard from outside Ding Baohua's office.
*Clatter.*
The door was pulled open from the outside, and everyone's gaze turned towards it.
"Principal?"
"Principal Zheng."
"Principal Zheng."
The person who entered was Zheng Zhiwen, the current principal of City First High School.
"Which one is Mr. Du Fei?"
As soon as Zheng Zhiwen entered, he ignored the greetings from others and scanned the room quickly.
He soon located Du Fei, as he and Du Yunyun were the only ones he didn't recognize.
"I am Du Fei, hello Principal Zheng."
Du Fei hadn't expected the principal himself to arrive, but he figured that someone of the principal's status would surely have found someone significant.
Zheng Zhiwen walked up with a smile and shook Du Fei's hand.
