Chapter 176 Determination

"Mother Wang Shan, please rest assured that our school will never condone such things. I promise you with my personality that I will give a fair response to the students who were bullied." The principal answered solemnly.

He turned his head again and said, "Teacher Liu, you and the grade director should work together to find all the perpetrators and victims in the video, then retrieve the files of these children from the archives and re-register them."

Teacher Liu took the order and went to the head teacher's office with the USB flash drive.

Not long after, several girls followed their parents into the office and greeted the teachers in the office with a smile. There was no sign of the vicious look they showed towards their classmates in the video.

The principal didn't say much and directly played the video to the parents.

Several parents had expressions of disbelief on their faces when they saw what their children did in the video. They couldn't believe that their obedient daughters could be so cruel.

The girls had not expected that their actions would be exposed so thoroughly in public. They could no longer smile. They lowered their heads, looked at their toes, and no one knew what they were thinking.

"What do you want to say about this matter?" The principal looked at the perpetrator in the video with a serious face.

Several girls lowered their heads and said nothing.

"Don't think this is just a small matter. I can tell you that neither the other party's parents nor our school intend to let this matter go easily."

As soon as the principal finished speaking, the parents of two girls hurriedly walked up to Lin Qiu and the other three and said, "We are really sorry, we did not discipline our children well, which led to this incident. In this case, you can take your children to the hospital for a check-up, and we will compensate you for what you owe"!

Lin Qiu looked up at the parents who were apologizing in front of him and the girl who was not far away with her head down and not moving. He waved his hand and said, "Just because you apologized, they don't have to take responsibility? It seems like they don't realize their mistakes."

The two parents quickly pulled their children over and pressed their heads down, "Why don't you apologize quickly after doing something wrong?"

The two girls just casually said, "I'm sorry."

Lin Qiu sneered, "We won't accept an insincere apology."

"So how much money do you plan to ask for? How much money will it take to settle this matter?"

Seeing Lin Qiu's attitude, the mother of the leading girl spoke with some pride.

Huang Xinxin's father said nothing, picked up his phone and chose to call the police directly.

None of the principals and teachers present wanted to stop it.

Perhaps realizing that there was no possibility of reconciliation, several parents changed their previous attitudes and no longer thought that their children were wrong.

The parent who apologized first pointed his finger in front of Lin Qiu and said, "The school's surveillance only captured our Xiaoxue hitting someone, so why would my child hit someone for no reason? There are so many classmates in the school, but she didn't hit them, so why did she only pick on your child?"

"That's right. It takes two to tango. If your child didn't cause any trouble, would they beat her for no reason?" another parent chimed in.

"My daughter Mingzhu has always been a good kid. She is good at studying and playing the piano. She gets along well with everyone in the class. It doesn't make sense that both parties fought. She is the perpetrator and the other party is the victim, right?"

"My child is also outstanding in every aspect. You can't just put the blame on her! I tell you, as long as I'm alive, who dares to frame my daughter? I don't believe it. There is no justice in this world!"

"Yes, don't think we'll be scared if you call the police! We can call the police, too!"

Five or six parents colluded with each other and tried to calm the situation down in various ways.

Lin Qiu waited until they were quiet before saying, "You can call the police at any time. I hope you can find evidence that your child was bullied. We have copied the video and will hand it over to the law enforcement agency. You don't have to scare us. Justice is in the hearts of the people. You really pissed me off. I will send this video directly to the TV station and let everyone judge who is at fault."

"If this matter is handed over to the public security organs, our school will also disclose relevant information to all parents and the public, depending on the situation. Of course, the video will be blurred, but for familiar people, even a back view will be recognized..." The principal looked at the girls and their parents expressionlessly, "So, I hope you parents will consider it carefully!"

"Then my child..."

The female parent who was clamoring to call the police wanted to say something but was stopped by the male parent next to her.

He smiled at the principal, "Principal, please forgive me. The child's mother is impatient. To be honest, it is hard for us to accept that the child has become like this. This child is usually...usually very well-behaved. If I hadn't watched the video, I wouldn't have believed that my child, in a place where I can't see, has grown up like this. This is also our dereliction of duty as parents. But, after all, she is just a child and doesn't understand anything..."

The principal looked at the other person and replied, "She is already 14 years old. She should know what she should know. After all, there are moral education classes in elementary school and the same is true in middle school. They are even tested like the main subjects. The average score of the moral education class in our school is above 80 points. It can be seen that they are not ignorant, but they are committing crimes knowingly."

"Principal, can't you give them a chance to correct their mistakes?" The male parent continued to argue, "I know the children have made mistakes, but please give them a chance to correct their mistakes. You can't completely deny a child because of this one thing. This is ruining my child's life!"

"Then have you ever thought that what your child did might ruin other children's lives?" the principal asked righteously, "And have you and his children really realized your mistakes? Have you really apologized to them sincerely? Have you really thought about changing your ways?"

The female head of the family said awkwardly, "Didn't the children say they were sorry?"

Lin Qiu couldn't help but interrupt: "If saying sorry is useful, then what do we need the police for?"

"you!"

The female parent was speechless.

Speak to the police and they will arrive.

Two policemen from the police station walked in in uniform. "Excuse me, who called the police?"

"It's me!" Huang Xinxin's father stood up.

"And me." Wang Xiuren also stood up.

"Why did you call the police?" asked a policeman.

Another police officer stood by and took notes.

"This is what happened..."

Huang Xinxin's father briefly recounted the whole story to the police and opened the video on the office computer.

A parent squeezed in front of the computer and tried to delete the video, but was directly grabbed by the police officer who was questioning him and pressed on the table, "What do you want to do?"

After the video was played, the two policemen looked at the girls sharply, and then looked at Huang Xinxin's father: "Do you plan to reconcile or solve it through other means?"

"We don't intend to reconcile." After seeing the attitudes of the perpetrators and their parents, Huang Xinxin's father insisted on handing the case over to the police.

Wang Xiuren was also very resolute: "It's the same in our family.

"Okay, come back to the police station with me!" The police nodded, and then shouted at the girls, "You have to go to the police station with us too!"

The girls then raised their heads in fear, seeking the protection of their parents.

One parent tried to make a scene, but was loudly rebuked by the police officer and had no choice but to follow the officer into the police station.

The principal looked at their backs and shook his head with regret: "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place."
