Chapter 1503 1503

Yang Jian's face looked extremely grim.

Song Guanchao was about to establish an investigation team, which Yang Jian also just learned now.

His chest rose slightly, showing anger in his eyes.

Song Guanchao clearly had time to inform him beforehand, yet he didn't do so.

Yang Jian slowly scanned Director Hao, Secretary Ji… finding that they weren't too surprised.

Apparently, Song Guanchao had discussed this matter with them in advance.

But he intentionally left him out.

It was deliberate!

Yang Jian was very angry.

"The District Party Committee will cooperate with the City Government and Director Song," Ji Cheng said.

Soon after, Director Hao also said, "Rest assured, the investigation team will provide an explanation to everyone."

Afterwards, everyone's eyes fell on Yang Jian, waiting for his stance.

Yang Jian was very angry, but now was not the time to be angry.

He was the last one to express his stance.

Moreover, he couldn't oppose.

Even excluding that the City Government, District Party Committee, and Education Bureau had all expressed cooperation, with so many parents present here, if he dared to say the District Government disagrees, he wouldn't need Song Guanchao and others to say anything; these parents could tear him apart.

Yang Jian forced a stiff smile: "The District Government will cooperate with the City Government's investigation."

Only then did Song Guanchao retract his gaze.

At this time, Director Wang came.

He looked at the crowded classroom, quite surprised.

And shortly after he came, Liang Jiajia also arrived with a group.

A team of plainclothes officers walked in, immediately attracting the parents' attention.

Song Guanchao asked, "On the night of the students' food poisoning, was it Director Wang who reported to the police?"

Director Wang already knew why Principal Xu called him here.

This was to make him step up and take responsibility!

Director Wang said, "But I reported to Principal Xu!"

Song Guanchao asked again, "When the parents came over, was it Director Wang who ordered the school gate to be closed?"

"I told you, I reported it to Principal Xu!"

"You just need to answer yes or no."

"I…"

"Yes or no?" Song Guanchao's gaze was sharp, his words aggressive, making Director Wang's heartbeat quicken, blood rushing to his head, difficult to stay calm.

Director Wang pressed his lips tightly, looking at Principal Xu.

Principal Xu sighed softly and said, "Director Wang, answer Director Song's question."

"Yes!" Director Wang replied through gritted teeth.

"Good." Song Guanchao nodded, "Now then, Director Wang, please cooperate with the police investigation."

As he finished speaking, two detectives stepped forward, showing handcuffs.

Director Wang's face turned ashen, his legs weakened, nearly collapsing.

He looked pleadingly at Principal Xu: "Principal Xu, I reported to you at the time…"

"Alright." Principal Xu came over and said, "Director Song, I will cooperate with the police investigation together with Director Wang."

The police looked at Song Guanchao, who nodded, "No need to handcuff Principal Xu."

Given his cooperation, Song Guanchao granted him some face.

Then, Song Guanchao swept his gaze at the parents and said, "Now, I will answer the other questions you have."

"Regarding the police who came and arrested people that night, it was a violation of police regulations. I will let the colleagues from the detective team bring all the officers who were involved that night in for investigation."

"If it's discovered that there was collusion between the police and the school leadership, I promise you, I won't show leniency!"

Upon hearing this, Principal Xu's body lightly swayed, his face slightly pale.

He had always harbored a bit of luck in his heart, because he knew Song Guanchao's aim was to bring down Yang Jian, and he wouldn't go too far with people like himself. At most, he might face disciplinary action.

But now, he was a bit scared.

It seemed like Song Guanchao was serious.

He was planning to thoroughly investigate No. 1 Middle School!

Forgetting about No. 1 Middle School, nationwide, which school could withstand a thorough investigation?

Which school has no problems?

They all have problems!

Everyone knows there are problems, just turning a blind eye.

But now, Song Guanchao wants to bring these problems to the surface.

He wasn't sure if Song Guanchao suspected any connections between him and Yang Jian, or if he was purely trying to appease these parents.

He only knew, he was finished.

If investigated thoroughly, his best outcome would be expulsion from the Party and removal from all positions.

If it were more severe, he might have to face criminal charges.

"Take them away." Song Guanchao said.

Liang Jiajia acknowledged, then turned and left, while other colleagues took Principal Xu and Director Wang away.

Following their departure, the parents' emotions surged once more.

Except this time, they were excited.

Song Guanchao's thunderous handling made them very excited!

When they received calls and came over, they actually didn't have much hope, because they were used to the mutual shirking of government departments, and didn't expect a clear response nor severe punishment for these school leaders.

At most, it would just be a symbolic disciplinary action, with a private three-cup penalty as self-punishment.

However, reality exceeded their expectations.

This Director from the City Government Office truly treated their issue as a serious matter.

He genuinely cared about these food-poisoned children.

Someone gently started clapping.

At first, the applause was sporadic.

But soon, like a contagious wave, it began to spread.

In the spacious classroom, over seventy parents stood up and clapped vigorously.

They looked at the young cadre on stage with glowing eyes, genuinely applauding in gratitude.

Song Guanchao's expression remained calm, he didn't say anything insincere, and waited for the applause to quiet down before continuing, "There's no need to thank me; it's my job to address these matters. Just as each of you has your own responsibilities, I also need to be responsible for mine."

"Next, the investigation team will conduct a fifteen-day inquiry."

"If No. 1 Middle School has issues, they will be identified and resolved within these fifteen days."

"Additionally, regarding compensation for the poisoned students, the City Government will oversee the school to formulate a compensation plan within fifteen days."

"At that time, you will be invited to discuss the compensation plan."

"Also, regarding work interruptions due to this matter, the school will offer compensation."

"That concludes today's meeting; if you have any questions, now is the time to ask."

What more can be asked?

Song Guanchao had thought through all aspects.

Even the most demanding parents couldn't think of any remaining issues.

"Since there are no questions, let's adjourn the meeting."

Song Guanchao offered a slight smile to everyone, then turned and left the classroom.

Ji Cheng and others also began to leave the classroom consecutively.

Meanwhile, the remaining teachers were equally excited and thrilled.

Seeing Principal Xu and Director Wang being taken away gave them a satisfying sense of relief.

Only Principal Liu remained standing, confused on what to do.

Although she wasn't taken by the police, the investigation team would surely uncover her issues.

By then, she's likely to face dismissal.

Anxious, she quickly left the classroom, pulled out her phone, and descended the stairs.

She wanted to ask Mayor Chang what she should do.

Yet just as she had descended the stairs, she suddenly saw several men in civilian clothes stopping Song Guanchao as he was about to leave.

Then, she saw those men present a badge and said, "Song Guanchao, you are under arrest for intentional injury."
