The next day at school, in the Principal's office.
"Huo Yao, the Dean just told me about the old man. I was busy preparing for the Math League and didn't have the chance to ask. The Dean said you wanted to take care of it all by yourself. How's the situation now?" The Principal stood in front of his desk and looked at Huo Yao warmly.
Huo Yao placed her hand casually on the edge of the table. After a day, she had already calmed down. That blackmailing old man was incapable of causing trouble with her around.
Also, her parents' attitude seemed a little off. They seemed to know the old man.
Huo Yao gathered her thoughts before she replied calmly. "It's settled."
The Principal smiled and said, "I would have gone to the hospital if he kept harassing you."
Huo Yao raised her brow slightly. "Didn't you suspect that I might be the one at fault?"
"I trust my students," replied the Principal unhesitatingly with his chin raised.
