Sometimes after Yi Fei had left, Bai Jing Ting felt uneasy because Yi Fei had not returned to get her lunchbox back.He went out of his office and went towards the direction where Cheng Xiao Meng and Yi Fei went previously. Bai Jing Ting continued walking until he reached the sports building where the PE storeroom located.
He walked around the building, looking for Yi Fei and Cheng Xiao Meng when the scene of Yi Fei clinging to Wu Chen tightly like a koala greeted him. The scene where Yi Fei was hugging Wu Chen as her life depended on him made his heart ached.
Before Bai Jing Ting had more time to feel the ache of his heart, an unfamiliar voice called his name. He turned his head towards that direction. Bai Jing Ting saw that the new gardener whose name Jason or something like that was calling him. Jason waved his hand frantically, gesturing him to come to where he was.
"Physician Bai, we have injured people here. Hurry up" Jason did not have the patience to keep on waving his hand. Previously, he wanted to call Bai Jing Ting first because he was the school"s physician, but since he did not have his number, Jason opted for the ambulance.
Then, there"s the thing with Mr Jing too. Jason was apologetic towards Mr Jing. Seeing how Mr Jing fainted just after one kick made Jason pity him. He must have kicked him a little bit too hard to make him fall in an instant. Jason thought that it might be too much for Bai Jing Ting to handle Mr Jing, so Jason called the ambulance directly.
Seeing how Bai Jing Ting walked by coincidently, Jason couldn"t help but think that it could be a good thing too. Bai Jing Ting will see the lovey-dovey moment between his boss and Miss Yi Fei. At the same time, he could check on Cheng Xiao Meng too.
"What had happened here?" Bai Jing Ting rushed to the storeroom and was shocked to see the collapsed shelf and the unconscious Cheng Xiao Meng and Mr Jing. He went over to check the condition of the two persons. He couldn"t tell what happened with all the chaos inside the room. Then there was Wu Chen outside. What business does he have in school during working hour?
Jason recalled the event where Mr Jing was dragging Yi Fei on the floor, and he kicked Mr Jing to save Yi Fei to Bai Jing Ting. He didn"t mention anything about the collapsed shelf and also the unconscious Cheng Xiao Meng because he was not too sure about what happened to her.
Bai Jing Ting proceeded to do a detail examination of the two persons. Seeing that their condition was not alarming, Bai Jing Ting left the two to talk more with Jason about what happened inside the room.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yi Fei was still hugging Wu Chen when Wu Chen let go of her and put her in an arms distance to check her condition.
"I came here as fast as I can. Are you okay?" Wu Chen checked her face, her head and her hands.
Wu Chen was in a meeting with Jun Liu and the board of directors when Liu Shi informed him that something happened to Yi Fei. He postponed the meeting to 4 o"clock in the evening and dashed to his car.
He didn"t know how fast he drove to Faith Middle School. He didn"t even peek at the speed meter; he pressed on the accelerator without thinking about other things. He just wanted to get to where his Yi Fei was at the moment.
"I"m okay. Jason came at the right moment. You should see him kicking Mr Jing. He kicks like Bruce Lee… Kachaa…Kachaa" Yi Fei imitated the fighting sound in the Bruce Lee drama.
Seeing how Yi Fei was still full of energy, Wu Chen was glad that she wasn"t injured or what. Wu Chen pulled her into his embrace. "Don"t ever scare me like that again."
Their lovey-dovey moment was interrupted by the sound of an ambulance. The whole school was in a panic over the noise. The princ.i.p.al wanted to check on the ambulance when he stumbled into the hugging couple.
"Ahem… Ahem…" The princ.i.p.al coughed to get their attention, but before he could do anything, Jason came out of the PE storeroom and explained everything to the princ.i.p.al. The princ.i.p.al was quite angry because Jason ran away from him, but when he heard about what happened, he was relieved to hear that no one was injured severely.
The paramedic came to bring Cheng Xiao Meng and Mr Jing to the ambulance. Bai Jing Ting escorted the paramedic to the car, leaving Wu Chen, Yi Fei, Jason and the princ.i.p.al outside the storeroom.
"Miss Fei, are you okay? I am very sorry that you have to go through such a thing. I don"t know what is wrong with Mr Jing, but I hope…" before the princ.i.p.al could finish his sentences, Liu Shi came with a file and interrupted him.
Liu Shi handed over the file to Wu Chen and whispered something to his ear that no one else could hear. Wu Chen"s eyebrows frowned while Liu Shi whispered to his ear. The frown got worse every second pa.s.sed.
The princ.i.p.al could recognise Wu Chen from the viral news he read in the magazine. He didn"t know that Yi Fei would be so unfortunate to be an acquaintance with such an influential man. The princ.i.p.al was amazed, but at the same time, he could feel the intimidation from Wu Chen.
Wu Chen looked at the princ.i.p.al with a stern face. "Tell me, Mr. Wong. Why would your school hired a mentally unstable counsellor?" Wu Chen pa.s.sed the file onto the princ.i.p.al"s hand.
Bai Jing Ting came just at the right time when Wu Chen dropped the bomb about Mr Jing being mentally unstable. All of them were surprised including Bai Jing Ting. n.o.body knew about this.
The princ.i.p.al, whose name was Mr Wong, took the file and began reading the information inside the file. He was shocked too. He didn"t know that there would be a mentally unstable teacher in his school.
"I think Mr Wong didn"t know anything about it too. This is my first time hearing that Mr Jing is mentally unstable. Right?" Yi Fei looked at Bai Jing Ting, the princ.i.p.al and Jason. The three of them nodded their head to agree with her.
But Wu Chen was not appeased. He was angry that Yi Fei had to be in the same workplace with dangerous people like that. A mentally unstable person is like a ticking bomb. We wouldn"t know when they will explode nor do a terrible thing to the people around them.
"Miss Fei, why don"t you take the day off for today" Mr Wong was lost on how to deal with Wu Chen at the moment, he needed to clear his mind so that he could think properly. "We should not let this matter out to make sure that our school"s reputation…" The princ.i.p.al was going to say "will not be tarnished" but Wu Chen had already cut him off.
"Liu Shi had already lodged a police report about this matter. Dragging people forcefully on the floor is an a.s.sault, don"t you agree Mr Wong? Tell me, should I let go just like that?"
Mr Wong was a smart man, he could recognise a warning when he got one, and now, he was pretty sure that Wu Chen was trying to warn him. He nodded to show that he agreed because that was what supposed to be done, but at the same time, he didn"t want this matter to be known to the public to take care of the school"s reputation.
While the princ.i.p.al and Wu Chen were having some kind of staring compet.i.tion, Bai Jing Ting went to Yi Fei. "Are you okay? Let me examine you."
Yi Fei shook her head and told Bai Jing Ting that she was alright. Bai Jing Ting felt guilty that Yi Fei was in such a predicament because she ran after Cheng Xiao Meng who was crying because of him. In a sense, he thought that he was part of the reason why this thing happened to Yi Fei.
"Fei Fei, come. I"ll bring you to see the doctor. Say goodbye to your brother."
If Bai Jing Ting were not a doctor, he wouldn"t feel offended but he was one and Wu Chen wanted to bring Yi Fei to another doctor was like a slap in his face. He tried to insist that he will examine Yi Fei but Yi Fei had already said her goodbye to the princ.i.p.al, Jason and him.
Bai Jing Ting looked at the retreating back quietly. It seemed as if, in Yi Fei"s life, he will always be a side character.
