Lu Qing was kicked down the mountain by her master to find her fiancé right after her eighteenth birthday party.
When the entire capital found out that the eldest young master of the wealthy ...
They didn't actually dislike teacher Wu Xin; many parents harbored resentment towards her for accepting bribes and for treating children differently.
They knew it was wrong, but they were hoping that as long as they gave some gifts, Wu Xin wouldn't dare to do anything to their child.
But when the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact; Lu Qing's words tore away the last veil of pretense.
"Parents, please look at your children. Many of them are Li Tongtong's good friends."
“I believe they were all very sad when they saw Li Tongtong injured, but you prevented them from telling the truth, while educating them about honesty and ordering them to lie.”
"What kind of people will they become in the future? Have you thought about that?"
Everyone fell silent.
A short while later, a childish voice rang out:
"Mom, Tongtong is so pitiful. Teacher Wu beat her up like this. I don't want to lie anymore!"
It was Song Yuhang speaking.
His voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly, making their hearts tremble.
The children present were all five or six years old. Although they were young, it did not mean that they did not understand anything.
They knew who was right and who was wrong, and they knew they should tell the police the truth, but they kept their mouths shut because of their parents' orders.
With Song Yuhang taking the lead, some of the children who were good friends with Li Tongtong also spoke up:
"Dad, I won't lie anymore! Sister Tongtong didn't do anything wrong, it was Teacher Wu who bullied her!"
"That's right! Tongtong didn't do anything; it was Teacher Wu who deliberately bullied her!"
"..."
The parents looked at their children, their eyes filled with conflict.
“Young lady, we don’t want our child to lie, it’s just that we can’t outmaneuver that woman. Her husband works in the education bureau, and we’ve heard he knows a lot of high-ranking officials!”
"Even if our children speak up, it's useless. Do you think a judge will listen to the opinions of a few five- or six-year-old children?"
"That's right! If it doesn't work, won't our child be targeted?"
At this moment, Gu Xicheng walked in with a group of people and said loudly:
"Who says it's useless!"
Everyone turned to look at him.
Gu Xicheng walked to Lu Qing's side and stood down, facing everyone, and said:
“These are all renowned lawyers behind me. You can let your child speak; they will bring the perpetrators to justice!”
Everyone looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and then someone asked:
"Who are you?"
"My name is Gu Xicheng, Gu from the Gu Group."
They may not have met Gu Xicheng, but they must have heard of the eldest son of the richest family in Beijing.
With Gu Xicheng's support behind them, these parents finally regained their confidence.
"Okay! We're willing to have our child as a witness!"
"Not only will I testify, but I can also provide evidence that Wu Xin has openly and covertly coerced us into giving gifts over the years!"
"Yes! I have all the invoices here, they can serve as proof!"
"..."
Taking advantage of the crowd's heightened emotions, Lu Qing immediately called the police and had them take statements.
Wu Xin can't escape it.
With the evidence in hand, the police quickly arrested Wu Xin.
Not only were her crimes of accepting bribes and harming children confirmed, but even her husband, who had always helped her clean up her messes, was implicated and lost his job.
After trial, Wu Xin was sentenced to three years in prison for intentional injury and accepting bribes, her teacher's license was revoked, and she was fined a total of 1.32 million yuan for medical expenses, mental distress damages, and other charges.
Wu Xin was not satisfied with the result and requested an appeal.
But with Gu Xicheng's legal team there, no matter how many times she appeals, she can't change the outcome.
On the day Tongtong was transferred from the ICU to a regular ward, Lu Qing brought her a bouquet of flowers and some snacks.
Song Yuhang was also there. He was closest to Li Tongtong, and he would beg his parents to bring him to see Li Tongtong as soon as he got out of school.
The two children were very happy to see Lu Qing.
"Thank you for saving Tongtong, Sister Celestial Master!" Li Tongtong said obediently.
Lu Qing replied with a smile, "You're welcome!"
"Sister Celestial Master, what's happening to that big bad guy, Teacher Wu Xin?" Song Yuhang asked.
"Don't worry! She's in jail, the police will discipline her properly and help her turn over a new leaf!" Lu Qing said with a smile.
Song Yuhang nodded emphatically, then, as if remembering something, bowed to Li Tongtong in apology.
"I'm sorry, Tongtong! I should have told the police officer the truth sooner!"
Li Tongtong generously forgave him.
"It's okay! Brother Yuhang, I forgive you because you gave me so much candy!"
Speaking of giving candy, Lu Qing looked at Song Yuhang and asked:
"Yuhang, how did you know that Tongtong was in the storage room?"
Song Yuhang scratched his head and replied, "Of course I saw it!"
"You were able to see Tongtong back then?" Lu Qing asked, somewhat surprised.
Song Yuhang nodded.
She originally thought that Li Tongtong had taken the initiative to approach Song Yuhang so that he could see her, but it turned out that it was Song Yuhang who saw Li Tongtong.
How could an ordinary child see ghosts?
Lu Qing pulled Song Yuhang over and examined his eyes.
A moment later, she said with a look of surprise:
"He was born with the ability to see ghosts!"
Song Yuhang asked, puzzled, "Sister, what is the ability to see ghosts?"
Lu Qing laughed and said, "It's nothing! Yu Hang, do you often see people that others can't see?"
Song Yuhang was somewhat surprised: "Sister, how did you know? Can you see them too?"
Lu Qing nodded slightly, and Song Yuhang was overjoyed:
"Sister, you can see it too! Then go tell my mom and dad, tell them I didn't lie to them!"
Song Yuhang tried to pull Lu Qing away, but Lu Qing stopped him.
"Yuhang, don't worry, listen to your sister!"
“Your parents really can’t see those people, because they are not people at all; they are people’s souls.”
"Even though you may not understand it now, you must remember what your sister said."
"Starting today, pretend you can't see them, and don't tell anyone you can see them, okay?"
Song Yuhang didn't understand: "Why can't I say?"
"Because they might be dangerous for you. You're too young now. You'll understand why when you grow up."
As he spoke, Lu Qing handed a talisman to Song Yuhang:
"Keep this on your body. Don't let it get wet or lose it. You must keep it with you at all times. If there is any danger, have your parents come to Kyoto University to find your sister."
Although Song Yuhang didn't quite understand why, he still obediently nodded:
"Sister, I understand. I promise I won't lose it!"
Lu Qing: "Then let's pinky swear, and let Tongtong keep an eye on you. You absolutely can't lose this talisman!"
Song Yuhang nodded seriously and made a pinky promise with Lu Qing.
Lu Qing stayed for a while longer before leaving. Li Tongtong's parents wanted to thank her, but she only took a lollipop from Li Tongtong's snacks as a token of her gratitude.
She helped Li Tongtong because of fate and the responsibility of the Celestial Master, and she didn't want too much gratitude.
Moreover, her life is much wealthier than Li Tongtong's.
After the National Day holiday, the weather got cooler day by day. With the CET-4 exam approaching, apart from Gu Fei, who was a top student, everyone else in the dormitory was cramming at the last minute.
