After the Divorce, I Could Hear the Voice of the Future-Chapter 33: Slapped Down with a Single Palm

On the other side, Lu Liang arrived at Shida Attached Primary School.

Waiting at the school gate for a while, he called Zhang Yun's head teacher to confirm his identity, and finally, the security uncle let him in.

Zhang Qian was very good to her daughter and very generous, having spent over 3 million on an old, dilapidated apartment for her daughter's school enrollment eligibility.

Affiliated Primary School might not be the best elementary school, but it could rank in the top ten in Modu; the campus environment and the quality of teachers were both excellent.

Walking across the green athletic track, Lu Liang made his way to the administrative office and saw Zhang Yun standing lonely in a corner from afar, her gaze fixed on the tips of her shoes.

As soon as he entered, he heard over the phone that shrew cursing in the street, "So young, yet so vicious, a child with no upbringing."

"Auntie, it was Zhao Jiaqi who bullied me first; why don't you say anything about him?"

Zhang Yun bit her lip, defiant, not wanting to look as weak as she appeared on the outside.

"Well, you even dare to talk back. Mr. Lin, when will her parents get here? I'd really like to see what kind of parents can raise such a sharp-tongued brat."

The woman, fuming with rage, raised her hand to slap Zhang Yun.

"Just say what you have to say; there's no need to get physical. Don't act like a shrew." Lu Liang quickly stepped forward and knocked the woman's arm aside.

"Uncle Lu." Zhang Yun looked up with joy, as if she had found her mainstay, and sprinted to hug Lu Liang's leg.

"You must be Lu Liang, Mr. Lu, right? Can you contact Zhang Yun's mother?" the teacher asked.

"Her mother asked me to come and handle this..."

Lu Liang was halfway through speaking when his expression suddenly darkened.

He saw on Zhang Yun's right cheek near her ear, there were three bright red finger marks, almost turning blue.

The size, unlikely to be from a child's palm.

Lu Liang asked coldly, "Who hit her?"

The teacher sensed trouble and quickly tried to explain, "Mr. Lu, please don't get angry; Ms. Liang was just a bit emotional earlier."

Lu Liang squatted in front of Zhang Yun, pointed to the woman beside him, and asked softly, "Xiaoguai, did she hit you?"

Zhang Yun suddenly lost control of her emotions, "It was Zhao Jiaqi... he cursed me first, he pushed me first, I did nothing wrong."

"Don't cry, uncle will take care of you."

Lu Liang felt immense pity and turned his head towards the teacher, "Mr. Lin, the school has surveillance, right? What exactly happened?"

The woman worried that Lu Liang might seek revenge and cautiously stepped back several steps, but seeing him not laying a hand on her, a hint of contempt flashed in her eyes.

Suddenly, with fierce vigor: "No matter what the situation is, it's not right to leave my child's face scratched like this, look at it, it's almost disfigured."

There was a boy nearby with several scratch marks on his face, but they were just shallow imprints, nowhere near as serious as Zhang Yun's.

"Mr. Lu, it's just kids' horseplay."

Lin Xiao was very careful with her wording, attempting to downplay the gravity of the incident with the excuse of children's horseplay.

As teachers, they naturally hoped to minimize the incident.

"So you're saying, my child didn't do anything wrong, is that it?"

Lu Liang understood the full story.

Zhang Yun inherited her mother's good looks, carved like a dainty doll since she was small, and naturally attracted the adoration of boys.

The boy liked Zhang Yun and wanted to play with her, but since Zhang Yun didn't like him, his love turned to hate.

He messed up her backpack, doodled in her textbooks, deliberately tripped her, trying various ways to get her attention.

Zhang Yun tolerated it again and again, until she couldn't anymore.

And at that age, girls often grow taller than boys, and possess more fighting spirit.

"Children's play is quite normal."

Lu Liang suddenly swung his arm and gave the woman a hard slap across the face, "Why do you, an adult, meddle in this?"

A sharp sound rang out; the woman was slapped to the ground, seeing stars instantly; everyone in the office was stunned.

No one expected that Lu Liang, who had been so calm and reasonable, would suddenly lash out in violence.

The force of a grown man's slap was tremendous; with a full swing, the woman's face swelled up like a pig's head.

She seemed as though her tear ducts had burst open, crying, "Help! Murder... Call the police quickly."

The little boy next to them was also too scared to move, his whole body trembling, tears almost crying out.

The only two male teachers in the office stepped forward to embrace Lu Liang, "Mr. Lu, please calm down."

"I'm sorry, I got a bit emotional just now, I lost my composure."

Lu Liang smiled faintly, not engaging in any more extreme behavior, and coldly watched as the woman dialed the police.

He crouched down, stroking Xiaoguai's back of the head, "If someone hits you, it's not your fault, you have to hit back hard."

The little girl's eyes were twinkling with tears, and she nodded emphatically.

Lin Xiao furrowed his brows, "Mr. Lu, the way you are teaching the child is very problematic."

"And you? You don't have a problem?"

Lu Liang retorted angrily, incensed by the thought of the incident, "So many people just watched as she was slapped and did nothing but tell her not to be angry, not to be anxious. It's not your child, of course you're not anxious, it's simply inexcusable for a teacher."

He sensed that the teachers were somewhat biased towards the woman.

When Zhang Yun was hit, no one spoke up for her, not even offering to apply any medicine to reduce the swelling.

In contrast, when the woman was flipped to the ground by his slap, even the head of the teachers came to offer his sympathies.

Lin Xiao was speechless, his face alternating between shades of green and white.

As the homeroom teacher, she was aware of the families' circumstances and tended to choose the lesser of two evils by habit.

Right beside Affiliated Primary School was the police station; the police were almost immediately dispatched upon receiving the call.

"Officer, what took you so long, it's him, arrest him quickly."

Seeing the police, the woman suddenly felt backed up, her face a grimace of pain as she accused Lu Liang of his misdeeds.

"Let's all go to the station and not cause a scene at the school," the officer said with a furrowed brow, but he internally breathed a sigh of relief.

When they received the call, even the chief was alarmed, as the woman claimed there was a murder, and that too within the school.

Fortunately, it was just a quarrel between parents; a homicide on school grounds within their jurisdiction would have caused quite a scandal for their police station.

Lu Liang took Zhang Yun with him to follow the police to the station.

He also made a call to Meng Changkun, inquiring if he knew of any law firms.

Meng Changkun quickly asked, "What happened?"

"A small incident, just a quarrel with someone, I accidentally slapped the other party," Lu Liang informed truthfully.

"If you need anything, just say the word, I can recommend a law firm for you, they handle civil, criminal, or commercial cases."

Meng Changkun sent the number for Jin Cheng Law Firm, whom his company consults for many business disputes.

Lu Liang expressed his thanks and not long after, Zhang Qian's call came through, rushing over after receiving the news.

Holding her daughter, she looked at the handprint on her daughter's face with deep distress and looked up to say, "Liang, thank you."

She also explained why her call didn't get through; she was out on errands and her phone died with no place to charge it.

"It's not a big deal," Lu Liang said with a gentle smile.

These days, who doesn't know a bit of the law, this kind of small matter doesn't even meet the standard for filing a case, it's just about spending some money.

A while later, Ye Wei from Jin Cheng Law Firm arrived at the station.

He asked Lu Liang, "Mr. Lu, do you want to settle this publicly or privately?"

"Either is fine, as long as I've had the air cleared."

Lu Liang said with a smile, in front of the woman.

The woman was furious, pulling at the officer, "Look at him, he's so arrogant."

"Miss Liang, please don't pull and drag."

The officer tightened his brows and looked at Lu Liang with a cold face, "Mr. Lu, I'd also ask you not to provoke any further."

Knowing immediately that someone who calls for a lawyer is not easy to handle, and with the woman being relentless, it was giving him a headache.

"Okok."

Lu Liang shrugged with a laugh, leaving everything to Ye Wei to handle.

He picked up his phone and looked at the purchase list sent by Tang Caide; five computers, two printers…

Over twenty kinds of office supplies to be purchased, with each item's approximate price listed in the table.
