Tao Zhi picked up the phone.

"Hey?"

"Brother, something happened in Gongcheng." Zhang Miaoyu said on the other end of the phone.

Tao Zhi felt a pang in his heart.

"What happened?" Tao Zhi asked.

"He beat someone up and was caught on the spot by the director. Now they want to call the parents, but no parents came, so the dean has been staying in the office." Zhang Miaoyu said.

Tao Zhi frowned. How could Gong Cheng, such a good kid, hit others?

How can a single-parent family in Gongcheng, with only a mother in the hospital, go to school?

"Do you know the specific reason for the beating?" Tao Zhi asked.

"I don't know. He didn't say anything when I asked him. I only know that the person who was beaten was called Lin Xiaogong." Zhang Miaoyu said.

Tao Zhi's eyes suddenly widened.

Didn't Lin Xiaogong's love for him increase just because of Sichun? Why did he beat her up again?

"You keep an eye on the situation, I'll clean up now." Tao Zhi said.

"Eh? What's the point of you coming here, brother? The teacher wants parents." Zhang Miaoyu was helpless.

"I am his parent."

As Tao Zhi spoke, he struggled to get up from the bed, put on a loose sweatshirt and sweatpants, and limped downstairs.

"Butler, prepare the car." Tao Zhi shouted.

When Tao Zhi arrived at the school, he went straight to the location given by Zhang Miaoyu. There were many students surrounding the office.

"Until this vicious incident today is resolved, none of you can try to exonerate this person." Director Sun smashed the tea cup on the table.

"Director Sun, this must be a misunderstanding. Both children said it was a misunderstanding."

"Gong Cheng is one of the best students in our finance department. How could he possibly bully his classmates?"

"And I know this kid Lin Xiaogong. He often plays with Gong Cheng. The two of them are just good friends who had a small conflict. How could it be such a big deal?"

The counselor kept wiping the sweat from his temples and his throat became hoarse, but Director Sun remained firm in his idea.

"Is it necessary to resort to violence during a conflict? If I hadn't stopped him, his fist would have hit the student in the face." Director Sun frowned.

"Student Gong's family situation is special. He only has one mother who is sick. It is really inconvenient for him to come to school. How about you, dean, make some concessions and have the two children reconcile and apologize to each other?" said the counselor.

"Excuses, all excuses! Is his mother the only relative in his family? If there's no father, there must be grandparents, right? If there's no grandparents, there must be uncles, right?"

"Don't keep covering for him just because he has good grades. If his parents don't come, then you'll just have to reprimand him."

Director Sun was so angry that he smashed the cup on the table again.

Tao Zhi limped in with his butt sticking out.

"Sorry, teacher, I'm late." Tao Zhi smiled embarrassedly.

Lin Xiaogong's expression in the office suddenly changed.

Hearing the voice, Gong Cheng turned around and looked at Tao Zhi, with surprise on his face.

"Who are you?" Director Sun asked impatiently.

"I'm Gong Cheng's brother. I'm sorry that I broke my waist while moving bricks some time ago. I just rushed here from the hospital. I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long." Tao Zhi looked shy.

Gong Cheng looked at Tao Zhi, who was wearing a sweatshirt and looked very youthful.

Mr. Tao came here specially for himself, and he is lying for himself.

"Why didn't I hear him say that he has a brother just now? You must be a student pretending to be a parent." Director Sun's eyes were full of suspicion.

"My parents divorced. I lived with my dad and he lived with my mom. My dad passed away and my mom got sick and had chemotherapy, so I gave up studying and started working as a bricklayer to make money."

"This child was a little unfamiliar with you because we hadn't been in touch before, so he might have felt embarrassed to ask me to come to school, so he didn't mention me to you." Tao Zhi explained.

Director Sun still had some doubts, but because what the man said was so miserable, if it was true, it would be a bit rude for him to keep asking questions.

"Since you are here, you should ask this child why he bullies his classmates. We have been asking him for so long but he just won't open his mouth." Director Sun said.

Tao Zhi limped towards Gongcheng, and when he arrived in front of Gongcheng, he looked worried.

"Xiaocheng, tell your brother, what happened?"

"Brother believes that you are not the kind of person who would bully your classmates. There must be some hidden story. Can you tell me?" Tao Zhi asked.

Gong Cheng and Tao Zhi looked at each other and saw Tao Zhi's worried look. Although he knew Tao Zhi was acting, Gong Cheng felt inexplicably trembling in his heart.

Gong Cheng pursed his lips and lowered his head.

"I didn't bully him, there was just some misunderstanding and I accidentally pushed him," said Gong Cheng.

"So I've been asking you what misunderstanding you have!" The dean yelled and slapped his palms on the table a few times, shaking the computer on the table.

"Can you tell me what the misunderstanding is?" Tao Zhi asked gently.

Gong Cheng was conflicted, but still shook his head.

It cannot be said, whether it is related to homosexuality or keeping a mistress, none of it can be said.

"Look at him, he refuses to repent." Director Sun grinned.

Tao Zhi patted Gong Cheng's shoulder soothingly, then looked up at the dean.

"I know my child. He normally wouldn't even dare to step on an ant to death. Since he doesn't want to say it, why doesn't he ask another classmate what happened?" Tao Zhi said.

Gong Cheng was stunned when he heard this, and felt a warm current growing in his heart.

Even though Mr. Tao knows nothing, he is willing to believe in himself unconditionally.

Tao Zhi had some guesses in his mind at this time.

Guessing that the two had a conflict due to emotional discord, Gong Cheng attacked Lin Xiaogong in anger.

Naturally, Gong Cheng could not mention a single word of the contradictory content. If he did, wouldn't it prove that he was gay?

Even the protagonist is a stubborn person. Can't he just make up a contradiction? He just keeps wasting time.

"He is a victim. Victims usually choose to conceal the truth in order to protect themselves. We have already asked him, and he would not say anything except that Gong Cheng did not bully him," said Director Sun.
