American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

It's fair to say that Regina put a lot of thought into targeting Mike.

Lina, after reading the contents of the flyer, turned to look at Mike with a strange expression.

"Lina, let me explain..." Mike hadn't expected this to happen either.

"No need to explain to me." Lina shook her head in relief, then pointed to the stairwell as if suppressing a laugh: "Why don't you look over there instead!"

In the chaotic hallway, besides some students whose secrets had been exposed and who were now fighting amongst themselves, there were also some onlookers, including some girls who had also noticed Mike's distinctive flyer.

Judging from their expressions, it seemed like they wanted to keep that special flyer as a keepsake.

"Damn it!" Mike panicked when he saw this, and without bothering to explain to Lina anymore, he rushed into the crowd.

Just after Mike retrieved a number of his flyers, the situation finally caught the attention of the school's administration.

Principal Tom led a group of teachers to the scene.

Just then, a flyer with Principal Tom's name on it fluttered down from the wall and landed in his hands.

After reading the contents, Principal Tom turned red with anger and almost threw his wig off.

"Tim, hurry up and get some people to collect these flyers," Principal Tom shouted to the dean of students beside him.

"Oh, okay~" Tim replied somewhat absentmindedly.

He also received a flyer with his name on it, which read that he, like the headmaster Tim, had a crush on Ms. Sharon.

Tim Meadows looks to be in his thirties and has never had a girlfriend. It was rumored at school that he didn't like women.

From this perspective, the flyer wasn't necessarily a bad thing for him.

After stealing a glance at Ms. Sharon's expressionless face, Tim led a group of physical education teachers from various subjects, along with school security personnel, to begin suppressing the unruly students.

More than half an hour later, Tim had collected a large stack of flyers. The students who had been causing trouble were also brought under control and made to stand against the wall.

Seeing that the matter had been contained, Principal Tom breathed a sigh of relief. After taking all the leaflets, he whispered to Tim, "I'll leave this to you. Don't let things escalate any further."

"Understood~" Tim nodded knowingly.

Just as Principal Tom was about to leave, a team of law enforcement officers stormed into the school.

"Excuse me, which one of you is Ms. Sharon?" the fully armed law enforcement captain asked sternly.

"I am Sharon, what can I do for you?" Teacher Sharon stepped forward.

"Someone suspects you of purchasing and possessing contraband. Please cooperate with our investigation." After the captain of the law enforcement team finished speaking, he signaled several law enforcement officers to surround Teacher Xue Lun.

At the same time, a female law enforcement officer began to search her.

"What exactly is going on?" Upon seeing this, Tim quickly went to Ms. Sharon's side and asked the law enforcement officers.

The head of law enforcement didn't say much, but directly produced a leaflet. It contained Sharon's name and the crimes she had committed.

"This must be a misunderstanding. I can vouch for it with my integrity. Professor Sharon is not that kind of person," Tim said anxiously.

Given Professor Sharon's status, if she were truly involved with contraband, the consequences would be extremely serious.

"This is our normal procedure, please do not obstruct law enforcement." The captain of the law enforcement team did not explain further, and led Ms. Sharon, who was still unaware of what was happening, to the teachers' office.

"Wait~"

Seeing that Ms. Sharon was being taken away, Tim became even more anxious and was about to chase after her.

"You stay here and take care of the students. I'll keep an eye on things over there..." Principal Tom called out to Tim with a grave expression.

Over the years, Principal Tom has managed Melford School very well. Although he is getting on in years, he still has the opportunity to be promoted further.

Now that something like this is happening at school, he's the one who's most anxious.

Not long after the principal left, Katie, having heard the news, arrived at the scene with her two best friends, the effeminate Damian and the punk girl Janice.

When Katie learned that Ms. Sharon had been taken away because of rumors about contraband, she immediately thought of her own past actions.

She realized that it was very likely that something she had unintentionally said had implicated Ms. Sharon.

At this moment, the law enforcement officers who had searched the office also brought Ms. Sharon back with them.

"How did things go?" Tim quickly went up to ask.

Ms. Sharon then realized what had happened, and her complexion was much worse than when she left.

When Tim asked her a question, Ms. Sharon simply shook her head, appearing rather downcast.

It's no surprise that no teacher would be happy to be reported by their own student for possessing contraband.

Chapter 123 Barriers and Trust

Good news: the law enforcement officers did not find any contraband in Ms. Sharon's office.

The bad news is that Ms. Sharon still couldn't prove her innocence, and law enforcement officers will have to continue searching her home.

Seeing that Ms. Sharon was about to be escorted out of the school, Katie quickly ran over and shouted, "Ms. Sharon is innocent! I can vouch for her!"

However, as the saying goes, the incident has already happened, and only a thorough investigation can clear the name of the person involved.

"Please do not obstruct our law enforcement!" After issuing another stern warning, the captain of the law enforcement team led his team to escort Ms. Sharon away from the school.

"How could this happen?" Katie, realizing the seriousness of the problem, became dazed.

The punk girl noticed Katie's unusual mood, thought for a moment, and asked uncertainly, "Katie, did you do this?"

“I…” Katie thought about the fact that Ms. Sharon had contraband, and realized that she was the one who spread the word first. She didn’t know how to answer for a moment.

"How could you spread everyone's secrets just to get back at Regina?" Punk girl Janice looked incredulous, her tone filled with disappointment.

Previously, Janice had heard Katie mention that Regina had a notebook that recorded many secrets of the school.

At this moment, she was clearly mistaken, thinking that Katie had deliberately leaked the secrets in the notebook in order to continue dealing with Regina.

"No, I didn't do the flyer thing..." Katie, who was feeling guilty, also realized that her friend had misunderstood her.

Since getting together with Mike, Katie has given up on the idea of ​​continuing to target Regina.

So she explained, "Mike once told me that 'constantly belittling others doesn't make you seem noble.' Therefore, I'm no longer going to deal with Regina."

As she spoke, Katie glanced at Mike, whose face was grave, not far away.

In just a short time, Mike collected more than twenty flyers with his picture on them, and who knows how many more have been hidden away.

It can be said that Regina's actions against Mike were very successful this time.

So even with Lina by his side to comfort him, Mike couldn't cheer up.

Of course, there are many people who are in a worse mood than Mike right now, and Tim is one of them.

Listening to the students whispering about Ms. Sharon and the contraband, Tim's face grew increasingly grim. Finally, the 30-something-year-old dean of students, who had never had a girlfriend, slammed his fist into a fire hydrant in the hallway.

The loud noise quieted the students down.

"The matter of Ms. Sharon has not been settled yet, please do not discuss it casually," Tim shouted, his face grim.

It is foreseeable that even if the allegations against Ms. Sharon regarding contraband are not true, her reputation will still suffer a great blow.

This is also why Tim is in a bad mood.

After venting his frustrations, Tim soon noticed some timid girls with frightened expressions on their faces.

Realizing he had lost his composure, Tim suppressed his irritation and said, "Students whose names are on the flyer, please gather in the main conference room. I have something to say to you in a moment."

After some thought, Tim realized that while the students whose names were on the flyers were victims, the real culprit was very likely hiding among them.

After all, sometimes high school students' thought processes are just that strange.

So Tim gathered these people together hoping to find out the truth through interrogation.

As the victimized students left one by one.

After saying goodbye to Lina, Mike, along with Katie, Karen, Greta, and others, went to the main conference room.

Yes, all the members of the "Devil Body Group" are on the list this time.

Behind her, Regina watched Mike's departing figure and followed him with mixed feelings.

After the victims left, the hallway was almost empty. Tim then turned sternly to the remaining students and said, "I don't want to hear any rumors in the school until this is resolved. Understand?"

The dean's authority was still somewhat effective, and the remaining students all nodded obediently.

Being able to temporarily suppress the situation is the best Tim can do right now.

On the other side, a large conference room was filled with over a hundred people. Apart from Mike, everyone else was a twelfth-grade student.

Moreover, more than 80% of these people are girls.

After all, the easiest thing for Regina to collect is information about girls.

At this moment, former best friends and close confidantes have all become enemies because of the leak of the secret.

Therefore, arguments could be heard from time to time in the huge conference room.

Meanwhile, Janice, the punk girl who sat with Mike and the others, turned her attention to Karen and Gretchen after believing that Katie was not the real culprit.

In the eyes of punk girls, if you were to ask who has the best chance of accomplishing this feat, it would definitely be the girls in the "Devil Body Group".

Karen and Gretchen quickly understood what punk girl Janice was thinking, and they both shook their heads.

Then, everyone's eyes turned to Regina, who was sitting alone in the back row.

The "Devilish Figures Group" consists of only a few people. By using the process of elimination, the final culprit naturally emerges.

Despite the scrutinizing gazes of the crowd, Regina wore a disdainful expression, maintaining her air of self-assured beauty.

"Damn bitch, I knew it was her!" Punk girl Janice had a grudge against Regina and couldn't sit still any longer.

“Calm down, Janice,” Damian, the effeminate man, pulled his friend back, trying to persuade her. “We have no proof that she did it…”

Indeed, given the current situation, even if Janice confronts Regina, the latter is unlikely to admit it.

On the contrary, this behavior might draw attention to the other members of the "Devil Body Group".

Looking at Katie, who still looked remorseful, Janice softened her tone and said, "Are we just going to let that little bitch get away with this so easily?"

“Of course not, we can gather evidence privately and expose their true colors…” the effeminate Damian reassured his friend.

On the other side, Mike, having calmed down, also realized that this time, the one targeting him was definitely Regina.

Mike's expression grew increasingly grim as he realized he had only warned the other party a short time ago.

Just as the noise in the conference room was getting out of hand, Tim walked in carrying a baseball bat.

After entering, he first put down his coat, then tapped his hand with a baseball bat, his gaze sweeping over the students with a scrutinizing look.

Tim spoke only after all the students had quieted down: "I know some of you are innocent. However, I must say that someone who knows you so well must be your friend. Therefore, the real culprit this time is very likely one of you..."

With Tim's words, a seed of doubt was planted in the hearts of the students who were still unaware of what was going on.

The students then looked at the people around them with suspicion.

"Alright, I don't want to say any more." Tim tossed the baseball bat aside to show he meant no harm, and continued, "Whoever did this, step forward. I promise, the truth won't leave this classroom."

Clearly, Tim lied to the students in order to find out the real culprit who framed Ms. Sharon as quickly as possible.

With so many victims here, if the real culprit really comes forward, the outcome might not be good.

Regina, of course, wasn't that stupid. She put on an innocent look and looked around as if she were helping to find the real culprit.

"Is nobody willing to admit it?"

Tim waited for a while, but no one stepped forward. So, he pursed his lips, walked to the front of the stage, pulled up a chair, and sat down: "Then I'll keep this going. No one's leaving here until the real culprit is found!"

Seeing Tim's assertive demeanor, the students below began to murmur again. This time, their faces showed more unease.

Chapter 124 Barriers and Trust (Continued)

It was already afternoon, and school was about to end, but Tim, who was sitting at the very front, still showed no sign of letting anyone leave. At this point, the students below were really getting anxious.

It's Friday, after all. If we stay here any longer, we might lose our enjoyable weekend.

So, in order to end this bad experience as soon as possible, many people began to search for the real culprit on their own.

Just as everyone was arguing again in their search for the real culprit, the door to the conference room was pushed open, and Ms. Sharon, who had been taken away earlier, walked in.

"Professor Sharon, has your problem been solved?" Tim quickly went to greet her.

Ms. Sharon appeared even colder than when she left. She nodded slightly in response to the question.
