"Pfft! If your dad had no issues, would the President personally come to Xilin?"
"It has nothing to do with my dad! My dad is innocent! He’s a good official!"
Lin Xinglan yelled loudly, defending her father’s innocence, her usually bright eyes, more dazzling than the stars, brimming with tears!
"Of course you would say that! Who would admit their dad is a corrupt, bad official?"
"Lin Xinglan, are you crying because your good days are coming to an end now?"
"With a corrupt official as a dad, how will you dare to act so arrogantly toward others now..."
"Say ’corrupt official’ one more time, just one more time..."
Lin Xinglan’s voice trembled with anger; she ceased her shouting, glowering ominously at the girl who was laughing the hardest!
The girl twitched her lips,
"Lin Xinglan, normally everyone lets you have your way, is nice to you, do you know why? Being the mayor’s daughter is one thing, but your dad being a big corrupt official, that’s been the word on the street for quite some time, and you still have the audacity to come to school!"
The girl lifted her chin, took a step forward, and pushed Lin Xinglan, "Also, do you think everyone doesn’t know how you got into the military academy?"
"Heh, what are you pretending for? Weren’t you admitted to the military academy only through your dad’s influence? Day after day you were dragging our class down, causing us to be punished so many times."
Lin Xinglan screamed and, with brute force, pushed the girl to the ground!
This action was immediately met with retaliation from two other girls, with punching and shoving, hair pulling...
"I’m fighting you all!"
Amidst the chaos, Lin Xinglan’s shouts gradually turned into moans and crying...
"What are you doing!"
Instructor Gao, hearing the whistle, rushed over to separate the fighting girls!
"Line up properly! Have you gone mad! Is there no discipline left, this is a military academy, not some gangsters’ den! You are soldiers, not female gangsters!"
"Reporting, Instructor, it was Lin Xinglan who started it!"
Lin Xinglan lay on the ground, curled up, her hair a tangled mess, her body occasionally shaking from sobs...
Gao Jun took a deep breath and said,
"Lin Xinglan, can you stand up?"
"Everyone get away! All of you, get away! You’re all evil!"
"Instructor Gao, you should really let Lin Xinglan realize the truth, that her father is the bad one, and she isn’t much better!"
"Mayor Lin has been suspended, subject to investigation only. If the investigation finds that Mayor Lin is indeed wronged... won’t all of you be finished then?"
Song Lili walked over, slowly saying.
"Impossible, my dad already got the inside scoop; Mayor Lin Han is done for this time!"
The girl said confidently, lifting her chin.
"What if one day... your dad is finished too?"
Song Lili looked at the girl,
"Being friendly with Lin Xinglan because she’s the daughter of the mayor, and kicking her when her father is in trouble, I can hardly imagine, one day when we all become comrades in arms, if we can really fight the enemy together on the battlefield without worrying about being backstabbed by comrades..."
"Instructor Gao, I’ll take Lin Xinglan to the infirmary."
Song Lili squatted down, she nudged Lin Xinglan, "Get up."
"I don’t need your pity! Get away! You’re the happiest one now! You must be laughing at me in your heart, you surely—"
"It’s good you know that."
"If you don’t get up now, more people will laugh at you."
