Chapter 1702 Interrogating Principal Sheng (Four)

Principal Sheng comforted himself inwardly, thinking that Qing Wen was just an orphan living in a shelter, without any backing. Even if something happened, no one would care, and no one would come looking for him.

But now, someone had indeed come knocking, asking questions that left him speechless. Should he tell the truth?

He involuntarily reached under his pillow.

Le Shui saw his hand reaching under the pillow, thinking he was up to something, immediately lifted the pillow, and grabbed his hand. But he found that Principal Sheng’s hand was tightly holding a pill bottle, which contained a Yuan Nourishing Pill.

Principal Sheng’s lips trembled: "I—"

This was the thing that made him neglect his responsibility to the students because the person guaranteed that this Pill could extend his life expectancy to 120 years. The temptation of longevity was too great for him to resist, leading to his downfall!

Yet, inexplicably, he felt that using a Pill obtained through Qing Wen’s life was unbearable to consume, so he placed it under the pillow.

Le Shui, having taken many Yuan Nourishing Pills, was long familiar with this item. He realized that given the rarity of the Pill, it was not something a person of Principal Sheng’s status should possess. He instantly understood that this Pill was used to bribe Principal Sheng.

"Just for such a small Yuan Nourishing Pill, you sold out your conscience? If that child was killed by that uncle, do you think you can live peacefully to old age without conscience’s condemnation?

If your students knew you sent their classmate to the killer for a Yuan Nourishing Pill, do you think they would respect you instead of despising you?

If your superiors knew you sent a student to the killer for a Yuan Nourishing Pill, can they refrain from dealing with you, allowing you to continue being the principal?

If the child’s parents knew you sent their child to the killer for a Yuan Nourishing Pill, would they let you off?

If I now cut a knife across your neck, can you still live to your natural lifespan?"

Principal Sheng, as if drenched in icy water, suddenly came to his senses.

Yes, he wishes for longevity, but at what cost? It’s conscience. Without conscience, is he still human?

As Le Shui said, once this matter is exposed, would the students still see him as their principal? Would the superiors still let him be the principal? Would the parents let him off?

The life expectancy traded for with conscience he simply cannot obtain!

Most importantly, could the person before him let him off?

He asked cautiously, "Are you his parent?"

Le Shui snorted: "I’m not his parent; I’m merely the attendant of his parent. His parent, to be frank, could crush you like an ant with just a finger!"

Principal Sheng was somewhat skeptical: "Are you saying he has someone from the Qin Family?"

Le Shui shook his head: "I don’t know if the Qin Family has anyone, but do you know who his Master is?"

"Who is it?"

"You know the Top Ten Families in Capital City, right? Above these ten families, there are the Four Hidden Families, you know this, right?

But above the Four Hidden Families, there’s a very low-key family, and that family is the Nan Family. Qing Wen, whom you sent off as a sacrificial offering, is the Direct Disciple of the Eldest Miss Nan of this Nan Family."

Principal Sheng was greatly shocked; he knew the Ten Great Families, had heard of the Four Hidden Families, and knew of the Nan Family. Moreover, he knew no family dared offend the Nan Family.

Qing Wen, unexpectedly, is the Direct Disciple of the Eldest Miss Nan?
