When Su Tang heard this, she slammed the table and said in a muffled voice, “There’s no punishment at all! Manman, why don’t we look for Chief Lu to give us justice? This matter was clearly planned by them!”

Shi Man looked at her red fingers in amusement and raised her eyebrows. “Doesn’t it hurt? Isn’t this outcome expected?”

Su Tang pouted her red lips indignantly and drooped her head in frustration. “But how can Tong Su not be punished when she wronged us?”

Shi Man smiled indifferently.

She had never expected the school to stand up for them. It was already the best outcome that today’s matter had come to this.

As for the rest, she had to do it herself.

They thought that this matter would end there, but unexpectedly, after school, Shi Man was stopped by Tong Su.

Her face was a little pale, and she was no longer as energetic as before. She looked at Shi Man with a heavy gaze. “My father wants to see you. Come with me.”

She glanced at Su Tang and Bai Xue disdainfully and said expressionlessly, “You can only do it yourself.”

Of course, Su Tang and the others were worried that Shi Man would deal with the principal, who only knew how to protect his daughter and had no regard for fairness. However, they were insignificant and could not interrupt at all.

Shi Man rarely had any worries. She looked relaxed and was not worried about what would happen if she went. Instead, she let the two of them go back first with a relaxed expression.

Su Tang glanced at Tong Su hatefully. She carried her things and arrogantly bumped into Tong Su’s shoulder again. Then, she deliberately snorted and walked out with her head held high.

Tong Su looked a little angry, but she seemed to be afraid of something and was not in the mood to fuss about Su Tang. Or perhaps she already had other ideas to deal with Su Tang.

Shi Man sized her up for a moment and closed her thin lips. “Lead the way.”

Tong Su turned around calmly with a fierce glint in her eyes.

In the principal’s office, Tong Bin looked coldly at the surveillance video outside the training ground. In the video, the girl was agile and flipped the man who was pouncing on her to the ground in a few moves. Every move hit the other party’s sore spot, but it would not cause any substantial harm to those people.

Such good skills could not be mastered overnight.

He finally knew why Chief Lu had taken a fancy to this girl alone.

Just as he was thinking, there was suddenly a knock on the office door.

Tong Bin turned off the surveillance video on the screen and leaned back in his chair. A pair of gloomy eyes were hidden under the reflective cold lenses.

“Come in.”

Tong Su lowered her eyes and walked to the desk respectfully. “Principal, I’ve brought her here.”

Shi Man was surprised by the way the father and daughter addressed each other. She raised her eyebrows and looked at the serious man behind the desk in surprise. “Principal.”

Tong Bin hummed faintly and raised his chin slightly to signal Tong Su. “Go out and close the door. Don’t let anyone in.”

“Yes.” Tong Su lowered her eyes and walked out.

Before closing the door, she took a deep look at Shi Man. Then, under her father’s cold gaze, her hands trembled and she quickly closed the office door.

Tong Bin leaned forward slightly and placed his arms on the desk. His fingers intertwined as he said confidently, “I didn’t call you here this time for the few fights you had with your classmates, let alone to denounce you.”

Shi Man looked at him calmly, waiting for him to continue.

When he did not receive a response from her, a smile appeared in Tong Bin’s eyes. “Chief Lu means to take you in as his student. After graduation, you will enter the army and officially become a soldier under him. In the future, you can also inherit his position. However, you have to know that you are nothing now.”

Shi Man frowned slightly, as if she could guess why he had specially called her over alone.

As expected, in the next second, Tong Bin revealed his goal. “You saw it today. In this school, no one can influence the decisions 1 make. My daughter is destined to have a say in school, but you…”

Tong Bin narrowed his eyes and smiled. “1 know you’re anxious to achieve some results in school so that Chief Lu will think more highly of you, but it’s a pity that you used the wrong method. How about we make a deal?”

Shi Man frowned deeply when she heard the first half of his sentence. In Tong Bin’s opinion, he had already hit the nail on the head, which was why this expressionless girl had changed slightly.

However, what he did not know was that Shi Man only wanted to turn around and leave.

Seeing that Shi Man still did not speak, he was not angry. He continued to guide her. “I’ll make a deal with you. During school, you can’t openly go against my daughter and you would even have to listen to her. But at the same time, I can guarantee that any mistakes you make in school will not be punished. This way, you can fight with others to prove your strength as you please.. How about that?”
