Chapter 599: How do you plan to resolve this?
Qiao Xing's pupils contracted slightly, and she quickly walked towards the classroom.
Xing Jiu looked at her, hesitating whether to follow her or call Qin Ce first.
In the end, he decided to call Qin Ce first.
After reporting the matter to Qin Ce, he quickly caught up with Qiao Xing.
Qiao Xing squeezed into the crowd and saw that Lin Xi was dumbfounded. She stood there blankly, and no one dared to approach her except for Feng Jiao in front of her.
Feng Jiao clutched her stomach; the knife was still in her body. She leaned against the table with difficulty, her eyes filled with disbelief and a hint of fear as she looked at Lin Xi.
It wasn't fear of Lin Xi, but fear of death.
No matter who it is, even if they claim they are not afraid of death and talk about death all the time, they will still be afraid when they are actually close to death.
Looking back, I realize there are still so many things I haven't done, so many places I wanted to go but haven't been, and so many places I promised to eat tomorrow but haven't had the chance to go.
Death itself is not scary; what is scary is the regret before death.
Qiao Xing breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this; she had thought he was dead, but it was good that he wasn't.
Soon, the school clinic staff rushed over, and the school security guards also took Lin Xi into custody. The school doctor gave Feng Jiao emergency treatment, carried her out, and called the hospital for an ambulance.
Teacher Chen also called the police.
"Teacher Chen," Qiao Xing stepped out from the crowd, "What happened?"
When Teacher Chen saw her arrive, she quickly said, "You've come at the right time! Look, your sister has stabbed someone!"
Qiao Xing looked somewhat surprised and looked up at Lin Xi.
Lin Xi's eyes were vacant, but when she saw Qiao Xing arrive, her gaze became firm again, as if she were seeking encouragement from Qiao Xing.
Qiao Xing looked away and asked Teacher Chen, "Then why did she stab someone?"
Teacher Chen was momentarily speechless, and before she could think of what to say, the principal suddenly called.
Teacher Chen said, "Let's go to the office first."
Inside the principal's office, the principal, who had said yesterday that he wouldn't be back for the next few days, was sitting there properly. Besides him, there were several other school leaders present.
"What exactly is going on?"
Ms. Chen looked very upset; she was now filled with regret for ever coming to work here.
Qiao Xing said, "I'm also curious about what happened. I just saw that there seemed to be a security camera in the classroom. Why don't we take a look at the footage?"
Qiao Xing came to see the principal yesterday, and the principal knew about it. He hesitated a little.
Seeing this, Qiao Xing suddenly found it somewhat ridiculous. She continued, "It doesn't matter if we don't watch the surveillance footage. Anyway, Teacher Chen has already called the police. It's the same whether the police come and watch the footage or not."
The principal's face darkened further. He glared at Teacher Chen and demanded through gritted teeth, "You called the police?"
"I..." Teacher Chen sensed that something was wrong. She was on the verge of tears and didn't know how to explain herself.
If we call the police, this matter will become a big deal. If something like this happens at the school, who will send their child to school after that gets out?
It involved both bullying and stabbing.
"Have the parents of those students been notified?" the principal asked again.
"Not yet, I'll notify them now." Teacher Chen trembled as she pulled out her phone. The principal was furious with her; she would call the police but wouldn't contact the student's parents.
Actually, it's best to let them resolve this privately. Those parents aren't uneducated people; after watching the surveillance footage, they must understand the seriousness of the matter.
Of course, there are also some unreasonable people. Even if this matter goes to court, with surveillance footage as evidence, Lin Xi's actions would be considered self-defense, and the sentence wouldn't be severe.
Before Teacher Chen could finish notifying the parents, the police arrived first.
When the police arrived at the office, they asked, "Who called the police? We received a call saying there was an assault here."
Teacher Chen stood up sheepishly, "I...I called the police."
"Then please tell me what happened."
Ms. Chen didn't know how to explain it, so she just told the truth, "It's like this, there are a few naughty kids in the class..."
After she finished explaining the whole story, the police went to the scene and saw a camera on the podium, so they asked her to pull up the surveillance footage.
After reviewing the surveillance footage, the police officer frowned.
Lin Xi was trembling with fear and clung tightly to Qiao Xing.
Qiao Xing took her hand, bent down to comfort her, and whispered something in her ear.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine, trust me."
Lin Xi still had blood on her hands, which had dried, but the strong smell of blood made Qiao Xing feel nauseous.
She released Lin Xi, went to the police officer, and said angrily, "My sister was beaten and hospitalized before. I came to your school, but none of the teachers and leaders cared. She would never have done this if she hadn't been pushed to the limit."
"Now that the police are here, I think we can resolve both issues at the same time. Shouldn't your school give an explanation about my sister being bullied at school?"
The principal was at his wit's end. He tried to calm Qiao Xing down, "Miss, please don't get agitated. We're working on a solution, aren't we? We need to address the issue of her injuring someone first. We'll also give you an explanation for how she was bullied."
"So how do you plan to resolve this?"
"Didn't I say? Let's deal with her stabbing first. She stabbed someone, which is illegal!" The principal's tone was very firm, but he was just trying to intimidate Qiao Xing, who was a woman.
Qiao Xing naturally didn't buy into his act. "So, in the principal's eyes, those who bullied her aren't breaking the law? She's been bullied by those classmates to the point of depression, and she even has a doctor's certificate. Does that mean she should stab herself in the back? Or does that mean she shouldn't fight back and just let those people bully her? Just wait for them to beat her to death?"
"When I came to you, none of you could handle it, none of you were there, and you pretended not to know anything. So please, Principal, come and teach her what she should do?"
The principal's face turned pale and then red after being rebuked by her. He didn't know how to say the words he was about to say, as she had said everything.
Finally, the principal said impatiently, "The police are still here, let the police handle this."
The police have already copied the surveillance footage. The lead officer said, "This case is a bit complicated. Lin Xi and Ms. Qiao, come with us to the police station first. Also, Mr. Chen, come with us. Let's bring all the students in the video."
Qiao Xing took Lin Xi's hand and followed them out of the police station.
Lin Xi was initially very scared, but seeing Qiao Xing and the principal arguing logically, confidently and firmly, she felt a great sense of security.
She suddenly realized that it wasn't such a big deal after all.
Unlike her mother, who was always submissive to everyone and apologized first regardless of who was right or wrong, she was not like that mother.
She was the same when she came to school before. She was so timid and afraid to speak up to the principal and teachers. Even though she was being bullied, Wang Qin was grateful to them.
When Feng Jiao and the others called her an ugly monster, she just smiled.
This led to Lin Xi not daring to go back and say anything, feeling that she could only be bullied by Feng Jiao and the others, and that she could not do anything and dared not do anything.
