Those three figures looked familiar; Li Yiming recognized them all—they were Class 29’s Gu Xiyue, Shen Yu, and Lin Junya.
All three were notable characters of Class 29, and many at Sea City No. 1 Middle School knew them.
As for Shen Yu and Lin Junya, they were regular visitors to Li Yiming’s office. As for Gu Xiyue, she had become a student of No. 1 Middle School last semester due to a perfect score in all subjects; Li Yiming could not help but know her even if he didn’t want to.
On the surveillance screen, the trio led by Gu Xiyue stopped last at the entrance to Class 8, clearly peering into the classroom.
Watching the three figures on the screen, Li Yiming’s gaze paused momentarily, his eyes flickering slightly.
He was aware that, between Gu Xiyue and Gu Zhiqi, one was the Gu Family’s true heiress while the other an imposter and that their relationship was as incompatible as water and fire.
Given their relationship, it was certain that Gu Xiyue would not protect Gu Zhiqi.
One the biological daughter, the other the adopted, Gu Changchuan would, in time, be unable to unconditionally support Gu Zhiqi.
As for Shen Yu and Lin Junya, Li Yiming knew they both had significant backgrounds and would not fear the Gu Family. Moreover, they were Gu Xiyue’s good friends. Given the relationship between Gu Xiyue and Gu Zhiqi, it was certain they would not speak for Gu Zhiqi either.
While Li Yiming was watching the surveillance footage, Gu Chongming stood beside him, feeling daunted upon spotting the trio on the screen.
He had some knowledge about the matter concerning Gu Xiyue and Gu Zhiqi.
His thoughts were similar to those of Li Yiming, and he inwardly sighed. The situation seemed to have become more complicated.
"It seems these three students must have also seen the situation in the classroom. Principal, then shall I call these three over?"
Gu Chongming did not speak immediately but looked at Gu Changchuan, cautiously asking, "So, should we call for Class 29’s Gu Xiyue, Shen Yu, and Lin Junya to come here?"
Before Gu Changchuan could say anything, Li Yiming had already grabbed his phone to contact the homeroom teacher of Class 29.
Seeing this, Gu Chongming pressed a hand to his forehead.
Gu Changchuan might not know who Shen Yu and Lin Junya were, but he was certainly aware of Gu Xiyue!
Thinking of the relationship between Gu Xiyue and Gu Zhiqi, Gu Changchuan was somewhat worried.
It wasn’t so much a concern about Gu Xiyue speaking out about witnessing Gu Zhiqi hitting someone, but rather a worry that, after speaking, the relationship between the two girls might sour.
"Qiao Qingshu, Lu Xingzhe, this matter doesn’t concern you anymore, go back to class," Gu Chongming said upon noticing Qiao Qingshu and Lu Xingzhe still standing in the office. Not wanting to delay the students from their classes, he asked them to return to class.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Qingshu nodded gently and then turned to leave the principal’s office. Before exiting, she seemed to cast an unintentional glance at Gu Zhiqi.
"Zhizhi, that big sister seems to have sneaked another look at you," Gu Zhiqi caught Qiao Qingshu’s gaze and spoke to Gu Zhiqi.
At those words, Gu Zhiqi instinctively looked up, casting a glance at Qiao Qingshu.
By the time she looked, Qiao Qingshu had already turned around and was heading towards the office door.
Before leaving, Lu Xingzhe also glanced over at Gu Zhiqi, noting her gaze trained on Qiao Qingshu’s retreating figure, Lu Xingzhe coughed lightly and suddenly spoke up, "Goodbye, Principal, goodbye Uncle Gu."
Why was this young master suddenly so polite?
"Goodbye, Classmate Lu." Despite his confusion, the principal nevertheless waved to Lu Xingzhe.
"Hey, goodbye, come over to play sometime," Gu Changchuan cheerfully said to Lu Xingzhe.
Seeing Gu Zhiqi’s attention on him, Lu Xingzhe then leisurely strolled out of the office, hands in his pockets.
