Upon hearing this, Li Ren became even more nervous than Bai Yue. Could it be about what happened with Fang Zhenren that day? Have Fang Zhenren's parents discovered the culprit and come to settle the score now?
Although Li Ren hadn't witnessed firsthand what happened that day, he knew it must have been Shang Yufei who taught them a lesson. Now that the school couldn't find Shang Yufei, were they planning to drag Bai Yue over to take the blame?
This couldn't be allowed! It was clearly all Fang Zhenren's fault. If that guy hadn't intentionally caused trouble, he wouldn't have ended up in the hospital; it was entirely self-inflicted.
With this in mind, Li Ren couldn't stand still. He believed that as one of the parties involved, it was necessary to help clarify the situation.
He raised his hand, "Teacher, I'll go too!"
"What are you going to do?" the homeroom teacher snapped, "Mind your own business."
Li Ren reluctantly lowered his hand.
Bai Yue patted his friend's back, "It's okay, I'll be back soon."
Although he wasn't clear about the specifics, judging by the homeroom teacher's expression, he knew it definitely wasn't good news. If it had escalated to the principal's office, after careful consideration, perhaps only Fang Zhenren's parents could pull it off.
Fang Zhenren's father was a captain.
He followed behind the homeroom teacher. During the journey, the teacher kept consoling him, urging him to confess and everyone would understand. This, even more, convinced Bai Yue of his suspicions.
Entering the principal's office, sure enough, he saw a pair of unfamiliar men and women sitting on the sofa. The principal was seated opposite them, speaking kindly.
But strangely, besides these three, the class monitor, Du Qin, was also present. When he entered, Du Qin even politely nodded his head.
Hearing the door open, the three on the sofa all turned their heads simultaneously. Fang's mother raised her chin and scrutinized Bai Yue up and down, "It's you? That Omega?"
The principal wiped the sweat off his face, trying to appease them with a smile, "Anyway, let's hear what the students have to say first. Please don't worry, Luohua Academy will definitely give you a satisfactory response."
The woman's words were sharp, "What satisfactory response? My precious son has been to the hospital twice in a row. The last time was physical injury, and this time it's psychological trauma. Look at how terrified he is now. If the culprit isn't caught, I won't just sit idly by!"
"Don't worry, don't worry, that's why we're here to solve the problem, right?" the principal continued to wipe his sweat.
Du Qin turned to the homeroom teacher, "Teacher, can I leave now?"
The homeroom teacher thought this matter had little to do with the class monitor, just about to agree, but then heard Fang's mother say, "No, this child cannot leave! You teachers from Class 3 really don't understand the conflicts between students. If it weren't for this child, we wouldn't know who to reason with!"
Hearing this, Bai Yue glanced at the class monitor.
So... did the class monitor tell these two the truth? But, they weren't present at the time, so how could they know?
Du Qin noticed Bai Yue's gaze and explained, "I just told them the truth, that Fang Zhenren likes to pick on you."
"This student, please mind your wording," Fang's mother frowned, "What kind of picking on is this? Just some minor squabbles between classmates. To send someone to the hospital repeatedly over such matters is going too far."
The homeroom teacher gave the class monitor a meaningful look, signaling for him to leave quickly. Then, he reassured the woman, "You're right. Our academy will definitely give the parents an explanation."
Du Qin didn't want to get involved in this matter and left on his own accord.
Fang's father had been sitting quietly on the sofa the whole time without speaking. Now, he spoke calmly, "Alright, let's focus on resolving the issue first."
With that, he looked up at Bai Yue, "What exactly happened that day? Perhaps you have something to explain?"
Bai Yue looked at the couple, "What would you like to hear?"
"As expected! I knew it was your doing that day—" Fang's mother couldn't help but stand up excitedly, but was restrained by her husband's hand.
Fang's father said, "How did you lay hands on my son? I know my son's personality. Although a bit mischievous, he's sensible. He wouldn't just attack someone without reason."
He paused, "It's you, because my son liked you and pursued you, your boyfriend resorted to violence. Isn't that going too far?"
Bai Yue lowered his head, lightly chuckled.
Fang's father frowned disapprovingly, "What's so funny?"
Fang's mother exclaimed, "Sarcastic, really rude."
Bai Yue raised his head, meeting their gaze, "I was just thinking, it seems you two are indeed Fang Zhenren's biological parents."
"What do you mean?" Fang's mother's anger made her eyebrows stand on end.
Bai Yue continued, "If you want to know what happened that day, I'll tell you the truth."
"That day, your son caught my friend and threatened me to come over. And when I arrived at the scene, your son caught me and released pheromones to prepare for marking..."
Fang's father couldn't contain his anger and interrupted, "Nonsense!"
In situations where both parties are unwilling, whether it's Alpha forcibly marking Omega or Omega forcibly making Alpha mark themselves, it falls under the category of...Harassment. Once the marking is successful, it amounts to a heinous crime akin to "rape".
Regardless of whether the situation is true or not, as a military captain, Fang's father naturally couldn't admit to such a thing.
His purpose in coming here wasn't to uncover the truth but to seek justice for his child. Otherwise, where would he put his face as a captain?
Moreover, he had done his research beforehand. Neither this Omega nor the so-called A-level boyfriend from the other side had any significant background; they were just ordinary people.
The school couldn't possibly be provoked by these two. Ultimately, the truth was something he could manipulate.
Fang's father suppressed his anger, "I don't want to delve into the conflicts between students. The most important thing is that it wasn't you who laid hands on Zhenren, but your boyfriend, right?"
This information was also obtained from the class monitor, Du Qin.
"Either you take responsibility for your boyfriend and drop out, or you make your boyfriend turn himself in to the police and confess to every wrongdoing he has done to my son," he said.
Upon hearing this, the principal was shocked. Drop out? Turn himself in? Was it really that serious?
Especially the latter option; Shang Yufei was, after all, the pride of their academy, and they couldn't tarnish his reputation at a time like this. In the recruitment for the past few years, they still intended to use Shang Yufei's name.
He persuaded, "It's not that serious. Let the children apologize to each other, and we can move on from this..."
"It's not something we can just move on from!" Fang's mother's tone was extremely sharp, "If it were your son who ended up in the hospital, how would you move on?"
The principal hesitated for a moment, then turned to Bai Yue and whispered, "What do you think about dropping out? I know the principals of other schools and can arrange for you to transfer."
Bai Yue glanced at the principal. Seeing the worried expression on his face, it seemed like this small, rundown school principal was encountering such a situation for the first time. He just wanted to minimize the school's losses by downplaying the situation.
He smiled, "No."
"I won't drop out," Bai Yue said, looking at the couple again, "This has nothing to do with Shang Yufei. If you want to involve the police, I'm ready to accompany you anytime. I can vividly describe to the police everything your son intended to do to me that day."
Bai Yue asked, "Shall we go now?"
Fang's father almost choked on his own blood. He had thought that scaring such a poor student a bit would make him surrender easily, but he didn't expect him to be so stubborn.
Fang's mother stood up suddenly, hands on hips, "Fine, let's go. You're completely fine now, while my son is in the hospital. Who do you think the police will believe?"
The principal hurriedly intervened, "Don't go to the police station. Bai Yue, don't escalate the situation like this!"
Although Fang's father was furious, he took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"Student, if you insist on doing this, it's not impossible. But the police won't just listen to your side of the story. Anyway, it's my son who is currently in the hospital, while you are unharmed. As for your boyfriend..."
He snorted, "To understand the truth, he might have to be interrogated too. Have you thought about that?"
Bai Yue replied, "This has nothing to do with him."
Fang's mother didn't believe it, "You say it's not related, so it's not related? Then tell me, who is responsible for my son ending up in the hospital?"
Bai Yue remained silent, closing his eyes.
He had been hiding the truth about his second differentiation to prevent Shang Yufei from finding out. But now, Shang Yufei and his family had accepted his changes. At this point, it seemed unnecessary to continue hiding.
He didn't particularly like drawing attention to himself, but perhaps this was the only way to clarify the situation.
What really happened that day, and who was responsible for Fang Zhenren ending up in the hospital?
Seeing him remain silent, Fang's mother gloated, "Ha, nothing to say, huh?"
"...No," Bai Yue finally responded.
Bai Yue looked at the two elders sitting on the sofa, his light gray eyes slightly narrowed.
"Your sons... are the ones I sent to the hospital."
