Chapter 367 No, Principal…

"Bang! This is utter nonsense!"

A loud bang came from the closed principal's office, followed by a thunderous outburst, which startled the director who had just reached the door to listen in, causing him to turn around and run away.

Inside the dilapidated principal's office, three young women, their faces covered in dust and unrecognizable, stood with their hands behind their backs and heads bowed, looking docile, innocent, and obedient—a far cry from their domineering and arrogant demeanor at the explosion site.

"Um, Principal, please calm down. This was an accident!" Shan Shushu, who was truly innocent but had been dragged here by her three unscrupulous roommates, carefully tried to persuade the furious principal.

"However, the three of them are also at fault. They were too impulsive and didn't think things through. Principal, please don't be angry with them. It's not worth it. It'll only make you sick." Another innocent unlucky girl, Mu Yuelan, stood by and chimed in, seemingly helping the principal scold her roommates, but actually subtly advising the principal to calm down. As long as the principal wasn't angry, the matter would be over.

The principal glared at them irritably and pointed to the other side of the office: "Stop trying to help me out here. Do you think I don't understand? This is none of your business. Go stand over there."

Once the two troublemakers quieted down, the principal's fierce eyes once again fell on the three "pretending to be honest" guys.

"Now you know how to play innocent with me. Liu Ying, tell me how many times you've done this since the start of the semester. Last time you blew up the senior students and teachers. This time you're trying to blow yourself up too."

Liu Ying pouted, her face full of resentment: "Principal, you're wrong about that. Although there are always some minor accidents, because it's during the preparation stage, I always control the amount of gunpowder to the point that it won't hurt anyone. It's just that the sound is a bit loud. Have you ever seen anyone lose an arm or a leg?"

"What, you're quite proud that you didn't smash someone's arm or leg?"

Bai Nuo glanced at it cautiously and muttered under his breath, "It's just a smoke bomb, how could it possibly cause any serious harm to anyone?"

"It's not a smoke bomb, I really didn't make a smoke bomb, it's clearly liquid... um, um um um???" Jiang Hongtao covered Liu Ying's mouth, looked at the principal with a sincere face, and said with great certainty, "Principal, it is a smoke bomb, the explosion site can prove it, that smoke is big, big".

Bai Nuo nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes!"

Liu Ying shook her head frantically: "Ugh ugh ugh!!!!"

The principal raised his hand and pinched the space between his eyebrows, feeling his blood pressure soar and his head buzzing.

How could a veteran who had faced life and death on the battlefield for several years not see through the schemes of Bai Nuo and Jiang Hongtao? They simply wanted to fix the thing on the smoke bomb and reduce the punishment for Liu Ying, that brat whose mind was only focused on making bombs.

"Putting aside Liu Ying's problem, Jiang Hongtao, haven't I told you a few times not to act impulsively? You went to climb out of the fourth-floor window again. Didn't you feel any pain when you fell last time?"

"And you too!"

After scolding Jiang Hongtao, the principal didn't give the girls any time to refute him and immediately shifted the focus to Bai Nuo.

"I heard that you dashed out in a flash and started climbing upstairs in no time. The teachers next to you didn't even have a chance to stop you. How are you two so capable? The exterior wall of that old laboratory building is full of pits and bumps. Who knows if one of the bricks is loose? What if you fell down halfway down!"

“Principal, you’re wrong,” Jiang Hongtao retorted loudly, taking the opportunity to pull the dim-witted Liu Ying behind him. He stood tall and straight, looking at the principal with a resolute gaze, his voice strong and clear.

"I am a member of the Northeast Group Army Special Forces Team, a soldier of Longguo. In this situation, let alone just a small fourth floor, even if it were a mountain of fire, as a soldier I should not and cannot back down. Moreover, the person in danger is my roommate, who is also a student with excellent scientific research talent. I should not be afraid of difficulties and bring him safely to the hospital."

"Bravo!" A clear shout suddenly rang out, followed by enthusiastic applause.

On the other side, Shan Shushu, who was obediently serving as a background figure, was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to her senses and tugged at Mu Yuelan's sleeve.

Bai Nuo's two roommates raised their hands at the same time and followed in his footsteps, clapping and making a joke.

"That's right, well said!"

"Clap clap clap clap!"

The tall and imposing principal suddenly swayed weakly, pinched his brow, and took a deep breath. Actually, he wanted to pinch his philtrum to save himself.

"Okay, okay, you're amazing. What about you, Bai Nuo? She's from a special forces background, and you're just..."

"What's wrong with me? Principal, you can't discriminate against me just because I'm new!" Bai Nuo immediately protested when she saw the fire about to spread to her. She put on the same expression as Jiang and said righteously, "Jiang is a soldier. As a soldier, she has the obligation and responsibility to help and save her classmates in distress. But I am also a police officer. As a police officer in the criminal investigation department, when people are suffering and in danger, shouldn't I step forward without hesitation, even in adversity?"

The principal's face twitched uncontrollably: "But you..."

Bai Nuo quickly interrupted the other party's spellcasting and said righteously, "Tell me if what I said is right or wrong."

The principal was momentarily stunned by the loud voice, and subconsciously nodded: "As a public security officer, I do indeed have the duty and responsibility..."

"So, I'm a police officer, I rushed in, that's right!"
