Chapter 178 Silence

The principal stayed in the office all night yesterday. Just as he had washed up, the phone on his desk rang.

"Principal, the parents of the girls in our class are here..." Teacher Lin's voice was a little hoarse.

"What about the girls?"

“Now I am detained by the police station.”

When he heard that they were detained, the principal replied: "Since the police station has taken over this matter, let's wait for the result from the police station!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Teacher Lin also looked unhappy. "Since Xia Mingzhu and the others have been detained by the police station, this matter is no longer under the jurisdiction of our school, and the school cannot do anything about it."

"Then let's meet the principal, okay? Other leaders can also be asked. Our children will never hit others for no reason!"

"Li Yating's mother, no matter what, you have to understand one thing: hitting people is wrong. If you think they are being wronged, then find evidence and go to the police station." Teacher Lin had a lot of things to deal with and had no time to argue with them.

But considering that several parents had supported his work, Lin still spoke up to remind them: "And don't think you can use your connections to resolve this matter. This matter is not just an internal matter of the school. Even if you go to the Education Bureau, it probably won't be of any use. All you can do is try your best to gain the forgiveness of the perpetrators!"

As he was speaking, he saw a police car parked downstairs of the classroom.

The parents became even more panicked when they saw this.

Teacher Xiao said, "I have something else to deal with, so I'll leave first."

This group of parents did not expect that the matter had become so serious. Neither the other party's parents nor the school had any intention of letting the matter go.

In the conference room, after the police from the police station arrived, the principal was accompanying the bullied students one by one to take statements and understand the situation.

The first one is Han Yiyi, who is a classmate of Wang Shan and Huang Xinxin.

She followed her head teacher, with her head down and shoulders hunched, not daring to look up at anyone.

The principal waved at her amiably, "Han Yiyi, don't be afraid, come sit here, the teacher will ask you a few questions."

Han Yiyi then moved to sit next to the principal, with her head lowered and her eyes fixed on her toes.

"When did they start bullying you?"

"The second Wednesday afternoon of the school year."

"Are those four the only ones?"

Han Yiyi nodded slightly.

"Why did they bully you?"

"Because when Xia Mingzhu was carrying homework back to the classroom from the office, I accidentally bumped into her in the corridor," Han Yiyi said excitedly, "I really bumped into her accidentally, and then, all the homework books in her hands fell to the ground, I, I hurried to help her pick them up, but it rained that day, and some of the books that fell on the ground were dirty, so she thought, thought I did it on purpose, I, I really didn't."

She was about to cry as she spoke, "Then, it seemed like her classmates told her about it, and she thought it was my fault. Then, after school in the afternoon, they beat me in the toilet, and tore up my homework and test papers and threw them in the toilet... They also warned me that if I dared to tell the teacher, next time, next time..."

Before she could finish her words, her huddled body began to tremble.

The principal patted her on the back and asked the head teacher to pour her a glass of water. "Drink some water first. Don't be afraid. I promise you that I will never let this happen again. Don't be afraid. It's okay. It's okay..."

Several policemen showed some pity on their faces when they saw this. One of the female policemen couldn't help but have tears in her eyes. "Have you told your family about these things?"

"I told my grandmother."

Han Yiyi drank some water and calmed down a little. "But my grandma said, why don't they bully others but me? I must have done something wrong. If I did something wrong, I should apologize."

"But, I really apologized to them, but they still bullied me..." Having said that, Han Yiyi lowered her head and her fingers unconsciously twisted together.

"Where are your parents?"

"My parents are busy with work and often have to travel."

"Have you told them about these things?"

Han Yiyi shook her head. "They are already very busy with work. I don't want to make them worry."

This skinny girl is really pitiful.

The principal took a deep breath and looked at Teacher Xiao, "Do you have her parents' contact information?"

"have."

"Call them immediately and tell them to answer whatever the parents ask you. Don't hide anything."

Teacher Xiao called Han Yiyi's parents in front of everyone.

The woman on the other side went from being incredulous at first to crying until she was hoarse, "Her father and I are going to the airport right now, and we'll be there by tonight at the latest! Please tell those scumbags who bullied my daughter that I won't let them go!"

After hanging up the phone, the principal looked at Han Yiyi, who was silently crying, and said softly: "You see, it is useful to bravely ask adults for help, right? If someone slaps us, we must have the courage to hit back. Don't worry, they can't hurt you anymore."

After sending Han Yiyi away, another girl was brought in by the teacher.

The girl was tall and thin and looked very beautiful, but she was slapped and kicked in the chest.

The reason she was bullied was simply because a boy looked at her a few more times, and another girl who liked the boy became jealous, so she would make trouble and beat him every now and then.

In addition, he also spread obscene rumors about the girl, saying that he had seen her sitting in a middle-aged man's luxury car, and that he had seen her and a man being extremely intimate outside an entertainment venue. He even said that she was so thin and white that she must have had too many abortions in the hospital.

The girl spoke these things casually, with her eyelids lowered, as if it had nothing to do with her.

The female police officer who was taking the statement suddenly caught a glimpse of the girl's wrist, which was not easily exposed. A brown mark was particularly eye-catching on her pale skin.

She grabbed the girl's arm and pushed up her sleeves. The deep and shallow scars on her wrist were shocking.

Everyone present gasped. This was self-mutilation!

"You should tell the teacher!" The policewoman pulled her hand with some trembling.

The girl didn't say anything, she just looked up at the head teacher and then quickly lowered her eyelids.

Everyone immediately understood that the head teacher was a male teacher.

"Can you tell your parents too?"

"My parents are divorced. My dad is in Beijing. My mom is already having a hard time. I don't want to cause her any more trouble. Besides, this is very embarrassing. I don't know how to tell her."

"Then you can choose to call the police!" The policewoman held her hand tightly. "If you encounter this situation, you can call the police directly. You have to trust the police. We can protect you. Remember?"

The girl didn't speak for a long time. After a long time, she raised her head, her eyes were empty. "The police will protect us, but they will also protect them!"

At most they will just be educated and then released to become even worse!

There was silence in the conference room.
