"Boss, do you want to see a doctor?"

Chen Shu was stunned when he picked up his boss from the cemetery that morning.

The boss, shirtless, walked out of the cemetery early in the morning.

Even though I knew he was going to visit his deceased landlady, it was still terrifying.

After all, anyone who has been to the boss's apartment and seen the densely packed photos there would feel a chill run down their spine.

Having nightmares is the least of your worries.

The owner must have caught a chill from sleeping in the cemetery overnight; he had a cough, and his ears and cheeks were red.

"No need, two pills will do."

As He Lin spoke, he took out the medicine from the drawer.

The four large characters "Jinbu Pharmaceutical" on the medicine box are very eye-catching.

"Boss, you also take medicine from Progress Pharmaceuticals? This company is really amazing. I wonder how much money they spent on hiring a research and development team. We also wanted to enter the pharmaceutical industry, but Progress Pharmaceuticals broke through and directly occupied the Hong Kong market."

"By the way, we signed a contract with them a while ago, and the response has been really good."

He Lin suddenly paused, "Progress, is that their boss's name?"

Chen Shu happened to know about this.

"No, Progress is the name of the village where the boss was born. Because of his tragic background, he didn't have a proper name or education, so he took the name of his hometown as the company name."

He Lin rubbed his temples. "You can go now. I'm leaving get off work first today."

The boss left work early; I wholeheartedly agree.

After all, it's rare to see him take a day off.

The sudden idea disrupted his previously orderly and routine life.

I drove aimlessly around the road.

As if by some strange twist of fate, He Lin drove his car to the entrance of the children's school.

After struggling for a moment, He Lin pressed down on his trembling hands and opened the car door.

He squatted on the ground for more than ten minutes.

The pedestrians only watched him for about ten minutes.

The man had a dignified appearance and wore a well-tailored black suit.

Although he looked somewhat down on his luck at that moment, in the eyes of photographers, he was a sight to behold, with the backdrop of grassy fields and a large, leafy tree.

This event is a beautiful painting.

He pressed the shutter, glanced at it, and then ignored it.

His unfriendly gaze scared away several people not far away.

I adjusted my breathing, stood up, and walked step by step toward the school.

"Teacher Yu, the principal wants to see you."

Yu Lian showed this group of bullies how powerful she was in just one morning.

Even when they eat, they behave well and no one is picky about food.

Yu Lian allowed them to speak, but not loudly.

Teacher Yao gave her a big thumbs up from the back door.

"You really can't judge a book by its cover."

No sooner had Yu Lian left than Teacher Yao saw the father of the three troublemakers.

He Lin has never been to the school, but he frequently appears in the cameras of various news media.

With the identities of the three siblings clear, Teacher Yao naturally knew that he was the child's father.

"Excuse me, teacher, I'm here to pick up my child."

Teacher Yao immediately went into the classroom and asked the three children to pack their schoolbags.

It was Dad's first time visiting the school, and the three siblings were much more well-behaved in front of him, chattering excitedly about where they would go to play later.

Soon the group arrived at the sixth grade.

He Lin called out his son.

"Pack your things, I'll take you out for a day, and we can talk while I'm at it."

He Ning'an looked at his biological father with disdain.

He had wanted to talk to him before, to see if he could change his ways, and that even for his mother's sake, he should raise his younger siblings properly.

Instead of handing them over to an outsider.

But not anymore, his beloved mother has returned.

He Ning'an felt confident enough to face his dignified father.

"No need, from now on we won't need it anymore."

He Ning'an was about to turn around and go back to the classroom to do her homework when a classmate called her back.

"He Ning'an, you cheated on the exam. Your teacher wants you to call your parents yourself."

"Why are you accusing me of cheating?"

The classmate, unaware that the person next to him was He Lin's father, said directly to his face, "You're always last in the class, you never know the answers when the teacher asks you questions, you're dragging our class down. If it weren't for your good dad, do you really think you could have stayed in school?"

He Ning'an didn't reply, but glanced at her father beside her.

"I'll go to your office with you."

The more you try to explain, the worse it gets; it's not appropriate to defend yourself in public.

He Lin followed.

In the office, looking at the perfect score paper, the teacher remembered the answers she had written in advance that she had left in the office yesterday.

He Ning'an soon appeared at the office door.

"Teacher, may I come in?"

His attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and he asked again and again.

The office of the only teacher was deathly silent, with only the sound of pens slicing through pages when grading papers.

A classmate whispered, "The teacher is obviously angry. Good luck to you. I'm leaving."

He Lin pushed his son inside directly.

"Teacher, I heard you were looking for He Ning'an's parents, so I'm here."

The teacher, who was concentrating on grading homework, adjusted her glasses and looked up, her eyes filled with disbelief.

The reason she dared to call on the parents was not because she was senior or unafraid of these powerful figures.

It's entirely because He Ning'an can never get his parents to come.

"Mr. He... please have a seat."

Their attitude suddenly changed completely.

He Lin sat down and looked at the teacher. "What mistake did He Ning'an make? Please explain in detail. Also, since you've determined that he made a mistake, you should present the evidence."

"Hmm... He Ning'an's grades have been at the bottom all year, ever since he first came to the school. This is the report card for the 'Devil Class.' Although this exam was just a small quiz, it was extremely difficult. Usually, the top student in the class only..."

After listening calmly to the teacher's explanation, He Lin didn't say anything, but simply said, "Get a new test paper, and He Ning'an will write it in front of you."

The teacher gave an awkward laugh, turned around, and found a test paper of similar difficulty.

"Give."

He Ning'an, however, opened the test paper that the teacher handed her.

"I didn't plagiarize. If you think I did, then so be it."

After saying that, she ran out of the classroom and ran into her mother who was coming out of the principal's office.

Thinking of her mother's promise to keep it a secret, He Ning'an forgot all about being sad and grabbed her mother's hand and ran away.

After He Lin finished talking with the teacher, he naturally couldn't see his son when he came out.

Knowing that the child was blaming him, He Lin wisely refrained from chasing after him.

Over here, she pulled her mother and hid behind the teaching building.

He Ning'an almost couldn't breathe. "Mom, Dad is also on the third floor."

The thought of almost bumping into He Lin came to mind.

Yu Lian felt a chill run down her spine; she was truly unprepared.

"Thank you, son. Thank goodness for you. You're such a reliable son!"

Hearing his mother's praise, He Ning'an's lips unconsciously curled up, but he quickly remembered what had just happened.

"Mom, I got first place in the class, but the teacher said I cheated. Dad also made me do it again in front of the teacher, but I didn't want to, so I ran away."

There was no scolding, only comfort and rational analysis.

He Ning'an held back the tears welling up in her eyes.

"Okay, I'll talk to your teacher after your dad leaves."

After calming the child down, Yu Lian and her son hid in the shadows until the four of them left the teacher's office.
