I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

Chapter 126 Principal, I am Studying Art



"Yiyi, Hong Yi, let's go. I feel that Gusu University is still somewhat unreliable. It's unbelievable that such a perverted incident could occur. It seems that we really need to scrutinize this donation and can't just give it away blindly!"

"Yeah, I thought that the ethos of a century-old prestigious university would be of high quality. Who would have thought that there would be such incidents of underwear theft in the school? It seems we overestimated Gusu University!" said Hong Yi, echoing Zhang Menglong's words.

"Menglong, our school shouldn't have such incidents, I always find it strange," Lu Yiyao defended their school in confusion, "As far as I know, our school has never experienced such incidents. Could it be someone's prank?"

Seeing Lu Yiyao defending the school, the principal and his secretary quickly concurred, "Yeah, Xiao Zhang, I feel there must be something wrong. If this incident really was done by someone in our school, I will definitely punish them severely without mercy!"

"Exactly, exactly, security! Go check the surveillance cameras! I refuse to believe that so many personal garments could be stolen without leaving any clues!" the principal's secretary urged.

"Principal, I have already checked the surveillance footage," the security guard said with a wry smile, "but the footage shows no suspicious individuals. Those balconies are almost blind spots for the cameras; from my point of view, it's as if they were blown away by a gust of wind."

"What kind of gust of wind!" The female teachers couldn't stand it any longer, "If it was the wind, why are none of the male teachers' things missing, and it's only our belongings that have been lost?"

"That's right! Could it be that the wind discriminates between men's and women's clothing? There must be some pervert who has used unspeakable methods to do this!"

"Absolutely! Principal, you must find out who this pervert is; otherwise, which female teacher would dare to live on campus in the future?"

"Indeed! For now, it's only the belongings of our internal staff that have been stolen. But if one day the students' things are taken, and this gets out, it will have a huge impact on our school's reputation!"

"Thump!" The principal slammed his fist on the table angrily, "Outrageous!"

Today was supposed to be a very joyful occasion. He could have obtained a donation of 100 billion from Zhang Menglong, but just as the donation was almost secured, this incident occurred, and how could he not be furious?

The teachers were right; this incident had to be man-made!

"Investigate! I want an investigation! No matter who it is, even if it's a professor, this time I will definitely handle it with the utmost severity!" The principal of Gusu University, who was known for having a temper, was utterly humiliated by the incident.

"Principal, I am quite willing to believe in your school, as it is a century-old reputed university, but there could still be a few bad apples," said Zhang Menglong, "I will temporarily reserve this donation for Gusu University, but if this incident isn't resolved, I can't rest assured handing over the donation to you."

"Alas!" The principal sighed, "Xiao Zhang, sorry for making you witness this farce. Just now, I said that nothing like this could happen at our school, but now I'm genuinely slapping my own face!"

"Principal, it's normal to overlook some matters when you have so much on your plate, but we must find this person as a warning to others. Otherwise, it will be an eternal shame for Gusu University, and it might even affect future student enrollment!"

"Yeah, but now that we don't have a single clue, where do we even start the investigation?" The principal glanced at the security guard, but the look in the guard's eyes was just as perplexed. He simply couldn't fathom how the thief managed it.

"Principal, our faculty living quarters can only be accessed by teachers, so, I suspect that the problem lies within our teaching staff!" a female teacher suggested, "We should perform a check amongst the teachers now!"

"Indeed, what Ms. Wu said makes sense. Let me find out which bastard did this, and I'll smack him hard!"

For the female teachers, such an incident was absolutely intolerable!

"Principal, I have heard some rumors and perhaps they are not entirely baseless," the principal's secretary said.

"Are you talking about the situation at the Music College?"

"Exactly!" the principal's secretary continued, "I've heard that Mr. Bai Shengwu from our Music College has been behaving improperly. Some even saw a female student crying as she ran out of his office before."

"There have been such incidents?" The principal's face changed, "Then why wasn't there an investigation?"

"We investigated, but the female student said it was just that she didn't do well on her sight-singing exam, and Mr. Bai only made a few critical comments, nothing indecent as alleged."

"That's a relief," the principal let out a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

"However, there's more than just one or two incidents involving Mr. Bai."

"There are other incidents?"

"Everything I have heard involves Mr. Bai, but there has never been any evidence, and the students implicated have never had any non-academic reasons for distress, so most people think Mr. Bai might just be too strict. But now that I think about it, all the students involved are girls, which makes me feel that something isn't quite right!"

"Investigate!" the principal slammed his hand on the table. "No matter the reason, as a teacher, this is already a dereliction of duty. A teacher should not only focus on the students' academics but also consider their self-esteem!"

"Yes, what the principal said makes sense!"

"Knowing about such matters, we must deal with them right away, let's go now!" Principal Xu was partly angry, but also partly putting on an act. He wanted Zhang Menglong to see that he took the quality of his teaching staff seriously, thereby gaining trust in their school.

But what he didn't know was that all this fell right into Zhang Menglong's plans. Bai Shengwu's behavior was not just the sort of overly strict teacher that Principal Xu understood it to be.

"I'll go along and take a look as well," Zhang Menglong said, seemingly casually.

"Good! Let's go together!" Seeing that Zhang Menglong was willing to go, Principal Xu was even happier. He had to handle this matter to Zhang Menglong's satisfaction, as for the perverted teacher, there was plenty of time to investigate. Gaining Zhang Menglong's trust was the most important thing right now.

The Music College was located in the most secluded part of the school. If you approached a bit closer, you could hear the sound of pianos and violins coming from inside, and occasionally, the sound of less refined instruments like suonas and gongs, instruments that accompany someone from birth until their seventh-day passing ceremony.

Lu Yiyao followed behind Zhang Menglong like a little wife, and she suddenly realized that everything seemed to be manipulated by an unseen hand. How could it be so precisely directed at Bai Shengwu?

Yet Bai Shengwu was just indecent with female students and he never left any evidence whether through intimidation or enticement. As for this underwear pervert, she never connected him with Bai Shengwu before.

"Principal, this is Mr. Bai's office, and it seems he is inside," said someone.

"Let's go take a look!" The principal knocked on the door. Although he was seething with anger, he still maintained basic decorum.

"Principal, what brings you here?" Bai Shengwu, seeing the principal, immediately put on a sycophantic smile.

"I just haven't visited our college's teachers for a while. I wonder what Mr. Bai has been busy with lately?" the principal asked politely.

"Ah, us in the arts, aside from studying the arts every day, what else can we do!"

"Amitābha!"

"Hallelujah!"

Suddenly, a strange voice came from Bai Shengwu's office, and Bai Shengwu's face changed drastically. A person like him, how could he not recognize what that sound was?

In his spare time, he most enjoyed studying the art of the Island Country, and he was all too familiar with that kind of voice.

But what he could not fathom was how his well-hidden collection could possibly start playing at this moment?

"This..." Zhang Menglong deliberately showed an exaggerated expression, "Mr. Bai, is this the art you study?"
