Chapter 222 - Call the Police! (1/2)

Yun Xi was in the homeroom teacher’s office discussing poetry appreciation with him when the princ.i.p.al called him.

The voice on the other end of the phone was very loud, so Yun Xi was able to hear approximately what was said.

On the other end of the phone, the princ.i.p.al was saying that Liang Xinyi had seen a thief enter the multimedia cla.s.sroom. He was asking all the teachers who were at school today to rush to the princ.i.p.al’s office.

The multimedia cla.s.sroom was full of valuable electronic equipment, including the dozen or so highly expensive laptops that had just been donated by a benefactor that very day.

If the word got out that there had been a thief at the school before the donors had even left the school building, it would ruin Jingdu High School’s reputation. The princ.i.p.al would have no idea how to explain the situation to the donors.

There seemed to be a lot of noise coming from the princ.i.p.al’s office. Liang Xinyi was purposely yelling extremely loudly for fear that everyone else wouldn’t hear what was going on.

Feeling completely embarra.s.sed by what was happening, the princ.i.p.al shot Liang Xinyi a vicious glare, then got up and called all the other teachers who were still on duty at the school.

Han Wanling had been waiting for Liang Xinyi’s yelling to come to the door to see the princ.i.p.al. Seeing that her plan was going smoothly, she gave the princ.i.p.al some advice.

“Princ.i.p.al, if there really is a thief, then you should call the police. Perhaps the thief hasn’t run far yet, and the police will be able to retrieve the things, so that the loss can be minimized.”

The princ.i.p.al didn’t know what had been stolen or how much loss there had been, so he wasn’t in the mood to entertain guests at the moment.

On the one hand, he didn’t want to suffer public humiliation in front of so many people, but he was also worried that he would be held accountable for what had been stolen. He had no choice but to call the police.

Several more homeroom teachers rushed over after they too had received the princ.i.p.al’s call. When Teacher Xu saw Liang Xinyi standing in the princ.i.p.al’s office, his face immediately got dark.

This student of his never did any good deeds; she seemed to always have something nefarious on her mind.

At this moment, she was standing right in the middle of the action, so no doubt nothing good was going to come of this.

The police arrived very soon after, so fast that even Han Wanling wondered if they had been staking out the school.

The police chief shook hands with the princ.i.p.al. “We rushed over after receiving your call. Now, we must first confirm the missing items, then check the surveillance cameras to see what the suspect looks like. That way, we can send out a notification to each district.”

“There is surveillance in the school?” Han Wanling looked at Liang Xinyi nervously when she heard the police say this.
