Chapter 126: Could it be that he was used by Officer Jessica?

In the chairman’s office.

“Here’s the medical certificate from the hospital,” Ethan slammed a copy of the medical record on the table. “A student from your school named Kyle attacked me, a patient who’s nearly on his deathbed.”

His voice rose, filled with righteous indignation, “Is there no justice left? No law?”

The chairman’s face turned ashen, his eyes signaling the school doctor to check the document.

Kyle, his head wrapped in gauze and his face flushed a deep red, pointed to his head, “You’re full of it! You attacked me! Hit me on the head with an iron rod!”

“Why don’t you just say I hit you with a giant hammer,” Ethan scoffed, walking towards Kyle.

Kyle had been shouting fiercely, but seeing Ethan approach, he clenched his fists, his face contorted with anger.

Ethan pulled out his phone and snapped a photo of them standing together, showing it to the chairman, “Look at us standing side by side. Who looks more oppressive? If I send this to the reporters, the public can see clearly.”

In the photo, the menacing 6-foot-5 Kyle stood in stark contrast to Ethan’s slender frame.

The chairman’s expression grew even darker.

“Also, just now, I heard many students say Kyle is your nephew, right?” Ethan narrowed his eyes, “Let me think about tomorrow’s headlines: ‘Chairman’s nephew beats critically ill patient over a man~’ or ‘Educator shields nephew, frames helpless patient for beating a robust 6-foot-5 man.’ I can’t even imagine how sensational that would be.”

“You... I’m going to fight you!” Kyle, fists clenched, charged at him.

The next second, the wound on his head burst open, and blood seeped through the white gauze.

“Enough!” The chairman slammed his desk, stopping his nephew with a deadly glare. Kyle, holding his wound, didn’t dare move.

The school doctor leaned in and whispered to the chairman, “The copy is authentic.”

The chairman took a deep breath, staring at Ethan, “What do you want?”

Abigaile stood by, having followed Ethan closely after he made his move, worried he might be at a disadvantage. Seeing all this, she was stunned.

This was shameless, and even more, it was a successful threat.

“Simple,” Ethan leaned on the desk, “I’m a friend of Logan, and I need to investigate something about Lily. I hope the school will cooperate fully.”

The chairman, taken aback, nodded, “Okay.”

“Deal.” Ethan extended his hand. In this country, there are protections for minors, making it difficult even for police to investigate students.

If the school didn’t want to escalate the issue and was inclined to protect someone, things could get complicated.

Ethan withdrew his hand, giving Kyle a look that said, ‘I’m going to see your girlfriend, what can you do about it?’

Ethan looked puzzled.

“Ding ding ding.”

His phone suddenly rang.

Ethan answered the call, and Jessica’s frantic voice came through: “Ethan, are you at the hospital? I’m about to go talk to Mr. Logan~”

“Hey, why are you telling me about your meeting with Logan?”

“Even though he’s in the hospital right now, we’re not taking any drastic measures, but if he admits to harassment, this case could be charged as sexual harassment.”

“...” Ethan squinted, a thought suddenly crossing his mind.

Was he being used by Officer Jessica?

“Alright, I’ll be right there.”

He hung up, took Lily’s number, picked up Abigaile, and drove back to the hospital.

At the hospital room door, Ethan saw Jessica in her police uniform, looking sharp and smiling at him.

“Let’s go, Ethan.”

The three of them entered the hospital room together.

Logan was sitting in the room, lost in thought. Seeing Jessica, a shadow passed over his eyes, but when he saw Ethan, there was a glimmer of hope.

“Mr. Logan, I hope you can cooperate with my investigation,” Jessica pulled out a notebook and pen. “You think you’re truly in love, what makes you say that?”

After a long silence, Logan looked up, “It’s the feeling when we’re together.”

“Did you ever say things like ‘I like you’ to each other?” Jessica took notes quickly.

“He’s still in high school, those kinds of things don’t need to be said out loud,” Logan lowered his head, then looked up firmly, “He said being with me made him feel relaxed and happy!”

“I asked Lily,” Jessica closed her notebook. “He said he doesn’t remember saying any romantic phrases.”

Logan’s expression instantly dimmed.

“Ah,” Ethan shook his head from the sidelines, it seemed he might just have to make Lily fall for him.

Suddenly, he felt a hand tugging at the hem of his shirt.

Abigaile seemed hesitant to speak.
