"Things seem to be unfolding a bit unexpectedly," Wang Linchi muttered softly.
He had thought the principal was preparing for a promotion, but at the end of the month, the Prefecture of Yingzhou sent someone directly to take the principal into custody for further investigation, and even stripped him of his position.
The matter was kept hush-hush, and even the Prefect Magistrate who had come to congratulate the principal on his promotion was puzzled. However, the grim expression on the Prefect Magistrate's face suggested that the principal had been implicated in factional infighting within the Prefecture.
Wang Linchi's initial suspicion pointed towards Yan Ming King.
After all, the principal was Yan Ming King's father-in-law; who else would they target?
As for Wang Linchi? Who did he count for? They would arrest someone of weight, not a small fry like him.
There was no certainty when the new principal would arrive either.
