Lu Heng's gaze shifted, and he quickly concealed his emotions.

He casually flicked non-existent dust off his sleeves and walked back to his office as if nothing had happened.

Qin Sheng and his two companions had already stood in front of the other three students and their parents.

Qin Sheng glanced at them and said directly, "I'm the one who hit him. We can settle this privately or officially. How do you want to resolve this?"

The three parents looked at each other in bewilderment.

Looking at Lu Heng, then at Fu Jingheng, the beer-bellied parent tentatively asked, "How was it settled privately?"

Settling it privately... is easy.

Qin Sheng took out three cans of dark medicine from his pocket and handed them forward, saying, "These are medicines to promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and accelerate wound healing. If you choose to settle this privately, consider these three cans of medicine as compensation."

Qin Sheng said, then felt that something was missing, so after thinking about it seriously, he added, "It's a secret recipe, and it's very expensive."

Parents: "..."

Otherwise, how about we compensate them for medical expenses amounting to hundreds of thousands or even millions?

That's what I think, but of course I wouldn't dare say it out loud.

The beer-bellied parent exchanged another glance with the other two, then cautiously asked, "What happens to the male?"

Oh, that makes it even simpler.

Qin Sheng rummaged through the small backpack that Fu Jingheng was carrying and pulled out a tablet, handing it to the three of them: "I have some evidence here of your child bullying classmates, including videos, audios, and pictures of them teasing, insulting, and framing my brother on multiple occasions."

"Just submit the evidence to the police station and follow the procedures," Qin Sheng said calmly.

As her gaze swept over the students' still bruised faces, Qin Sheng said earnestly, "It was wrong of me to hit them, but even if I end up in the police station, I'm sure the officers can understand that as an older sister, I lost control of my emotions and acted impulsively after suddenly hearing that my younger brother was being bullied at school."

The three students and their three parents: "..."

Another act of carelessness caused by a loss of emotional control!

They're really... damn it!

So whether they settle it privately or publicly, they won't gain anything, and they might even end up getting themselves into trouble.

What else did you return?

The beer-bellied parent was also a flexible and decisive person. After hesitating for only three seconds, he glanced at Lu Heng and then grabbed his good-for-nothing son.

He said in a serious tone, "Miss Qin may have misunderstood what happened today. In fact, we came to the school today to apologize to Young Master Qin and to Miss Qin."

He sighed, looking heartbroken: "I've already figured out what happened. It was my son who was naughty and ignorant, and he spoke rudely first, which angered Miss Qin and Madam Qin."

He looked even more serious than Qin Sheng had been earlier, and said, "To be honest, I think Miss Qin and Madam Qin went too far. If someone had bullied my son like that, I would have broken their legs!"

The change of topic was so abrupt that even Qin Sheng paused for two seconds before coming to her senses and simply said, "Oh," and calmly added, "The person is right here. I can still call him again now."

The beer-bellied parent: "..."

He was just being polite, saying, "Let's not take this seriously, okay?"

Can't we just have a pleasant chat anymore?

The beer-bellied parent laughed awkwardly: "Miss Qin is so funny..."

Afraid that she might say something he wouldn't be able to respond to, the beer-bellied parent immediately said, "I already gave my son a stern talking-to last night, and he has deeply realized his mistake and promised that he will never do it again!"

"Actually, it's a misunderstanding." The beer-bellied parent glanced at Qin Zhao with admiration. "Young Master Qin is not only good-looking and academically excellent, but he also has Miss Qin and such outstanding siblings as Young Master Fu. The children are too busy admiring him to target him."

"They're just kids. Sometimes when they like someone but don't get a response, they can't help but tease them to get their attention, and that's how misunderstandings happen..."

The other two parents nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, that's exactly it. It's all a misunderstanding."

"They're all classmates. Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, the children will definitely get along well from now on. Don't worry, Ms. Qin, we will definitely strengthen their education of the children when we get back!"

The three of them chatted away, completely ignoring the disgusted look on their child's face behind them, as if he had eaten shit.

Qin Sheng glanced at them, intending to say something, but then she caught a glimpse of the boy on the other side of the sofa whose face had suddenly turned pale, and her heart skipped a beat.

The strange feeling that had been lingering in Qin Sheng's heart gradually became clearer, and Qin Sheng's brows furrowed deeply.

He didn't care about the three of them at the moment, casually tossing the ointment into their arms and saying indifferently, "You're all over sixteen years old and can bear criminal responsibility. If you don't want to be in the police station looking after your kids someday, then you'd better take care of them."

The three parents' expressions suddenly changed.

Being threatened and intimidated in public by a girl who was more than twice their age was quite embarrassing for everyone.

But compared to saving face, everyone has to admit that Qin Sheng's words were not just a threat, but that she really had the ability to do it!

Therefore, even though he was extremely frustrated inside, he could only smile and repeatedly say, "That's a must!"

They would never dare to continue participating in the struggle between these two families.

After apologizing and thanking them again, they grabbed their bear cub and fled as if running away.

With six people leaving at once, the office, which had been somewhat crowded, suddenly became empty.

Wen Muyun glanced at Qin Sheng and his two companions on his left, then at the Lu Heng brothers on his right, and felt a growing headache.

Just as she was about to speak up to smooth things over, Qin Sheng suddenly turned to look at her, and said in his usual cool voice, "Teacher Wen, may I borrow your office?"

Wen Muyun was taken aback.

She wanted to speak, but when she noticed the unusual coldness in Qin Sheng's eyes, she vaguely realized something.

After only a moment's hesitation, she nodded: "Okay."

He then left the office first.

I closed the door behind me.

But he didn't go far. He stood by the railing in the corridor outside the office, his brows furrowed as he listened to the sounds inside.

But after a while, the expected sounds of fighting did not come out.

A look of doubt crossed Wen Muyun's face.

At this moment, Qin Sheng was staring intently at Lu Yuan, a dark glint flashing in her bright almond-shaped eyes.

After a long while, so long that even Fu Jingheng couldn't help but glance at her, Qin Sheng slowly spoke, saying, "That parent just said that when a child likes someone but doesn't get a response, they can't help but provoke the other person to get their attention."

“So,” Qin Sheng continued, still staring at Lu Yuan, noticing his pupils constrict for a moment, and the uncertainty in her heart became clear, “you like my brother.”
