As expected, Da Huang Ya couldn’t produce any evidence.
And even if someone had seen it, they couldn’t come forward to testify.
After all, any normal student would want to smash the cafeteria.
Now that someone had vented their anger for them, it would be good enough if they didn’t applaud.
Why would they help prove it?
Even if they really wanted to prove it, there was still no evidence.
In broad daylight, faced with ironclad evidence, even Gou Huo couldn’t turn black into white.
If the inner lining was rotten, that was one thing, but if the outer face was also ruined and put on display, then his position was as good as over.
“What’s going on?”
Then another figure rushed over.
In broad daylight, that shiny bald head on top was a bit glaring.
It was Vice Principal Guangtou, that dead bald head…
“Vice Principal, you’re here.”
Seeing someone with authority arrive, Gou Huo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The situation was indeed beyond his control.
With the Vice Principal present, he should be able to suppress this group of angry students.
“How did the cafeteria end up like this? Are you all idle with nothing to do?”
The Vice Principal also looked around in shock.
He had just received news that students were trashing the cafeteria, so he hurried over to see what was happening.
He didn’t know exactly what had happened.
He remembered warning them yesterday not to go too far.
Causing a massive food poisoning case was no joke.
At the very least, they had to handle hygiene properly and not make people sick.
If the dishes were a bit inferior, that was acceptable.
He thought that would reduce student complaints, and after a period of cold treatment, everyone would gradually accept it.
Seeing the Vice Principal personally come over, the students were indeed a bit panicked.
He was now the highest authority at the school, with the power of life and death.
They couldn’t offend him easily.
“Vice Principal, take a look at what ingredients the back kitchen is using!”
Just when no one was speaking, several students came out from the back kitchen.
Among them, the one speaking was actually Tang Ziya.
‘Damn, when did she get here?’
The situation had been too chaotic earlier; Gu Chen couldn’t see everyone clearly.
He never expected the class monitor to also participate in the cafeteria riot and even break into the back kitchen.
At this moment, Tang Ziya was holding two bags, clearly angry.
“You again?”
“Are you the one who organized the cafeteria riot?”
The Vice Principal naturally recognized her, and his eyes turned cold.
In the previous Exhibitionist incident, she was the one who organized the student strike, which swept through the entire school and made the leadership lose face.
Unfortunately, Li Yanqiu had punished her in advance, so for the sake of face, they had to let it go.
Even if she had good grades, if she kept causing trouble multiple times, she couldn’t stay.
“Hey, Vice Principal, is it really okay to directly slander someone like that?”
Gu Chen saw the situation was bad and quickly stepped forward to defend her.
This time it really wasn’t her doing; he had to clarify.
“Gu Chen?”
Tang Ziya turned around, a little surprised.
Then she explained, “I also came because I heard about the cafeteria incident. When it happened, I was still in the classroom. Everyone can testify.”
“Moreover, what we’re discussing now is the back kitchen problem. Since the Vice Principal is here, please handle it personally.”
With that, she took out the contents of the bag in public.
“!!!”
Two heads of cabbage that had already turned yellow, unknown how long they had been sitting, already starting to rot.
They were the kind of garbage that even the vegetable market would throw away, yet they appeared in the student cafeteria’s back kitchen!
‘Wait… Could this really have been picked up from the market trash heap?’
Thinking about it, Gu Chen felt a bit sick.
“This… is frozen. It turned like this after sitting out for a while.”
Da Huang Ya’s eyes darted, and he came up with a flimsy excuse.
He also gave a wink to the Vice Principal.
To dare do this, the Vice Principal must have nodded in agreement.
He had already paid the money, so he should be on their side, right?
“Hmm, after all, school purchases are in bulk. It’s normal for it to look like this after preservation. Nothing strange.”
The Vice Principal cleared his throat and reluctantly accepted this explanation.
But this explanation was obviously unconvincing.
Did they really think the students were idiots? They knew the most basic chemistry knowledge.
How could freezing turn them like this in a short while? But because of the Vice Principal’s position, no one dared to speak out.
“……”
Even Tang Ziya was left speechless.
Then she took out the second item.
It was a piece of pork.
“Then how do you explain this? Not only is it all trimmings, but there’s also a strange smell inside. Is this what the cafeteria feeds us?”
The others moved closer.
Even from a meter away, they could smell the strange odor emanating from the meat.
Where did it come from? If someone with a weak stomach ate this, something would happen.
No wonder Tang Ziya had diarrhea yesterday.
Now they found the cause.
“Ugh—”
Even Gu Chen felt nauseous just by smelling it.
The students who had forced themselves to eat the cafeteria food started dry heaving.
Finally, someone couldn’t take it anymore and cursed in anger.
“Damn it, are they trying to kill us with this food!”
The classmates who had calmed down gathered around again.
This time, it wasn’t just about smashing the cafeteria; they wanted to beat those guys up!
“What do you think you’re doing! I’m here, and you still dare to start something?”
The Vice Principal realized the situation was bad and yelled sternly.
Although he wanted to use the cafeteria to make money, he didn’t mean to go this far.
He turned to Da Huang Ya and asked, “What’s going on? Is this really your ingredient?”
“No, this… is kitchen waste. It wasn’t meant to be cooked into food.”
Da Huang Ya stubbornly argued, refusing to admit anything.
“I found this on the cutting board. It’s already half-cut and was placed in the self-service area.”
Tang Ziya delivered the final blow.
The scene instantly fell into a dead silence.
No one expected the cafeteria to be this unscrupulous.
Everyone’s eyes showed murderous intent, and even more people started vomiting.
No wonder the dishes were all heavily seasoned.
It was to cover up the strange smell.
This was food that they had paid extra for!
“Vice Principal, if you don’t handle this today, I don’t think anyone will let it go.”
Tang Ziya had always been someone who hated evil as much as an enemy.
In a situation like this, she naturally became the leader.
Although she didn’t know if she would be targeted later, the situation was out of control.
“Exactly, you’ve seen it all. If we all get food poisoned one day, how will you explain it?”
Gu Chen sighed.
‘This class monitor is really stubborn. Doesn’t she know to share the fire?’
He could only step forward and echo, at least to divert some attention.
“I…”
The Vice Principal hesitated.
‘If it had nothing to do with me, I would have dealt with it long ago. But the cafeteria is my project. If that guy bites the bullet and rats me out, I’ll lose even more face.’
After thinking it over, he could only muddle through for now.
“I understand the situation, but the details still need further investigation. Students, please return to your classes first. I will give you a satisfactory answer.”
