Li Hanlin thought Xu Boshan hadn't heard clearly.
He raised his voice again and repeated, "The one who took action is Li Bao'er, and the one who instigated it is Fang Xin! Brother Boshan! This unhealthy trend must not be allowed to spread. Once there's a sign, it must be nipped in the bud!"
Ren Wenzhong patted Ren Ling's hand, indicating he would definitely avenge his daughter.
Ren Ling also had a triumphant smile on her face. So what if you're from the Ninth Division? My dad is an important figure. Isn't it just a word for him to deal with the two of you?
That's for you two bullying me on the way!
Ren Ling looked at Li Hanlin with a smile.
After Li Hanlin finished speaking, he didn't expect a long silence from the other end of the phone.
Noticing the lack of sound, Li Hanlin mistakenly thought the call had been disconnected.
He checked and found no issues; he could still hear Xu Boshan's breathing through the phone.
After a few seconds, Xu Boshan coughed and cleared his throat, "Old Li, are you sure it's these two?"
"Absolutely sure! And they both admitted it! Brother Boshan, I completely agree with your point of view just now. Even if there's a conflict with the escort, they shouldn't resort to violence. Should we keep such students for the New Year instead of disciplining them?"
Xu Boshan quickly said, "Hey, hey, hey? Old Li! Don't talk nonsense! I never said anything about not disciplining them and keeping them for the New Year!"
Li Hanlin also heard something intriguing in his words, "What's wrong, Brother Boshan? Is there something tricky?"
Xu Boshan gave an awkward laugh, "Old Li, I think this matter needs a thorough investigation. Don't worry, once they return, I will personally question the entire incident's cause and effect. I will give them appropriate disciplinary action based on the severity of the circumstances!"
Li Hanlin naturally understood the implied meaning, "Brother Boshan, the father and daughter are standing in my office waiting for the disciplinary results. They are just two students, and they've already admitted it. Moreover, as the dean, isn't disciplining them just a matter of a single word?
At the very least, have them come over now and apologize to them in person! How about this: first, let them come over and apologize in person, and then you can give me the disciplinary results after they go back?"
Xu Boshan quickly said, "Old Li! No! Absolutely not!"
Li Hanlin frowned, "Brother Boshan, why are you being so wishy-washy? Just give me a straightforward answer! Can't you handle two unruly new students?"
Xu Boshan smiled helplessly, "Old Li, my dear Old Li, if someone else had hit someone, I could give you a straightforward answer now and let this matter pass. But it just so happens that these two who took action, I wouldn't dare touch either of them!"
Li Hanlin frowned, glanced at Ren Wenzhong and Ren Ling, then sat down and asked in a deep voice, "Brother Boshan, why don't you reveal the bottom line and let me hear who's daughter and young master are so arrogant that they dare to disregard the rules!"
"It's better if you don't know!"
"No! My people's child has been bullied. As the Buddha fights for an incense stick, people fight for a breath of air. I refuse to believe it. Today, I must vent this anger for my people! Even if they are noble daughters and sons of prestigious families, putting aside the instigator, the one who physically assaulted, Li Bao'er, she must still face disciplinary action, right? Come on, I don't believe in this evil. Tell me, who is behind her! I'll handle it!"
Xu Boshan said, "That Li Bao'er, she is the biological granddaughter of Li Tai'an, the former deputy head of the Taiping Group. Do you remember Li Tai'an? The Blade God Li Tai'an, who, with one person and one blade, cut through a siege of four thousand Eternal Night Army! If I were to discipline this little ancestor, his blade would be nailed to my head the next moment! If you want to vent your anger for your people, then you go! I'll cheer you on!"
Li Hanlin's mouth twitched, his face also trembled uncontrollably, and he licked his lips.
Then he cleared his throat unnaturally, and seeing Ren Ling's eager eyes hoping to hear that the two had been disciplined, for the sake of his reputation, Li Hanlin continued righteously, "If that one is so tricky, what about the other one? The other one can be touched, right? I haven't heard of any prestigious family named Fang!"
"Old Li, this one is even more of a heavyweight. Do you know what the Ninth Division's predecessor was? You should still have some impression of someone named Fang in the Ninth Division's predecessor, right?"
Li Hanlin's hand involuntarily trembled violently.
His bottom on the chair also twisted involuntarily, "But that person has been living under an assumed name for many years..."
Xu Boshan chuckled, "Alright, let me put it this way: this is something I figured out myself, so don't spread it around. This child's mother's surname is Ye. And the one behind the Ninth Division, guess what his surname is?"
Hearing this, Li Hanlin twisted his butt uncomfortably again.
He looked up at Ren Ling, picked up the teacup to his lips without drinking, and then put it down.
Xu Boshan, the old fox, spoke again from the other end of the phone, "Old Li, speaking of which, this child has some connection with your Tai Xu Research Base! His parents also used to be from the Tai Xu Research Base! His father is Fang Zhengping! If I'm not mistaken, he was originally the head of Tai Xu Research Base No. 2! Strictly speaking, if his father hadn't had that incident, he would still be your superior!"
Li Hanlin was completely stunned, standing up in shock, "What did you say?"
Xu Boshan, the old fox, laughed it off, "I didn't say anything!
Old Li, how about this: they are still with you now. You decide how to discipline them, alright? I have no objections!"
Li Hanlin's face twitched, "Brother Boshan, aren't you digging a pit for me?"
"But it's a fact that these two children hit someone, right? We absolutely cannot encourage such unhealthy trends! You discipline them! When they return, I will sign off on the disciplinary results!"
Li Hanlin immediately said, "I think there might be some misunderstanding in this matter. I'll investigate further!"
He hung up the phone, looked at Ren Ling, and reassured her with a smile, "Wait a moment! This might be a bit tricky! Please sit down first, I'll make another call!"
As he spoke, Li Hanlin made a phone call, asking his secretary to inquire with Li Bao'er and Fang Xin about the details of the incident.
Not long after, he received a message from his secretary. After reading the specific details, Li Hanlin's brows furrowed.
Li Hanlin had heard Ren Wenzhong talk about his daughter's talent before, so his psychological defense was very well-maintained this whole time, not letting Ren Ling see anything.
He glanced at Ren Ling, "Ren Ling, can you tell me the specific details of what happened then?"
Ren Ling was puzzled, wondering why Li Hanlin, who had been so aggressive just now, seemed to have wilted so much. But she still exaggerated, "I said I hadn't finished packing my things, and we would leave after I finished. They complained that I was packing too slowly. I said I also wanted to pick up a package, but they wouldn't let me. That Li Bao'er came up and gave me a big slap! It knocked me out! Grandpa Li, people like them must be severely disciplined! You just called Sky Shield Academy, did they say how they would be disciplined?"
Li Hanlin couldn't help but shake his head and smile upon hearing Ren Ling's exaggerated account.
"Go apologize to them!"
