Chapter 978: Making Excuses
There was a sound of footsteps coming from the entrance of the alley, getting closer and closer.
Zhang Ran got out of the car with the door open. He looked at the bodyguard who had taken off his mask and returned. He immediately took out 100,000 yuan from his suitcase and handed it to him, "Count it."
The bodyguard bared his teeth and put his hands in his arms, not knowing what was going on.
An hour later, another man was released from the police station.
Qiuyu, who was waiting across the street, immediately took out his cell phone and called Zhang Ran. After two rings, he hung up.
This man suffered the same fate as the previous man, except that his arm was broken by his bodyguard.
Next came the third man, the fourth man, and the fifth man, who were also severely beaten, with either a leg or an arm broken.
Hospital, early morning.
Song Song poured a glass of water for the principal, then sat on the stool beside the bed and looked at the principal with a smile: "The leaders who took the lead in bullying you yesterday were invited to have tea last night, and the passers-by on their way home were beaten."
The principal was stunned. He was not happy. Instead, his face was solemn and he was worried. "How is the injury?"
"He only had his arms and legs broken, but his life was not in danger. He was in one of the other wards on this corridor, and they even called the police." Song Song curled his lips, "This is retribution for their bad deeds."
Where did the retribution come from? Principal Zhang was even more worried. Her intuition told her that it must have been Zhang Ran who did it. Fortunately, no one was killed, otherwise the matter would only get bigger and bigger, and it would be out of control, and Zhang Ran would definitely be implicated.
His eyes fell on Yang Tao, who was standing on the other side of the bed. "Where's Xiao Yue?"
Yang Tao: "She said the reporter from City S was leaving today, so she went to see him off."
Seeing Principal Zhang's haggard appearance, Yang Tao comforted him distressedly: "When the interview is broadcast, people all over the country will know that you have been wronged, and someone will stand up for you."
Principal Zhang remained silent.
Song Song knew Principal Zhang best. She knew that she must suspect that the beatings were related to Zhang Ran. She was worried about her safety, so she changed the subject and asked, "What do you want to eat in the morning? I'll go downstairs to buy it." She was in a very good mood today. She contacted the students that the principal had sponsored before, and was able to contact most of them.
They were scattered all over the country, most of them had made extraordinary achievements in their personal fields, and after hearing about the principal's experience, they took the initiative to express their willingness to help. A few of them were afraid of being implicated and made excuses to shirk their responsibilities.
Principal Zhang is not picky about food and can eat anything.
Song Song asked Yang Tao what he liked to eat.
Yang Tao said quickly: "You stay here to take care of the principal, I'll go downstairs to buy it."
Without waiting for Song Song to object, Yang Tao quickly left the ward.
The hotel entrance.
Zhang Ran, who had not slept all night, invited Deng Xiaoxiao and his group to have breakfast.
Deng Xiaoxiao shook her head: "Thanks, I have to go back and ask them to edit the interview content and then broadcast it, so that more people can know what happened to Principal Zhang. Good people who are dedicated to serving the people should not be treated so unfairly." She was soft-hearted, and although the money had not been received yet, the job had to be done well, otherwise why would Zhang Ran invest in their editorial agency?
Zhang Ran was very sleepy, and when he saw she was about to leave, he did not try to keep her. He stood there and watched them drive away, then took Qiuyu to a hotel and got a room to rest.
After sleeping until noon, Zhang Ran brought Qiu Yu back into the ward.
Seeing her coming, the drowsy principal immediately sat up.
Zhang Ran walked over and sat on the stool next to the bed. "How do you feel today? Does the wound still hurt?"
