Shi Ran was talking with the Shen couple in the reception room, and Zhu Qingchen was listening in the next room.
He could see that Shi Ran still had hope for his adoptive parents who raised him, and felt that they, like himself, had been deceived by Shen Xiuping.
Although Zhu Qingchen himself was not optimistic, it was the student's own decision after all, so Zhu Qingchen did not say much and just let him try it himself.
As a student, you have to experience it yourself before you can understand it.
result!
Zhu Qingchen couldn't stand it after listening for only five minutes next door!
What kind of nonsense are the Shen couple talking about with his students?
He was already not feeling well, and when he heard the Shen couple crying and blaming each other, his head started buzzing and his eyes were spinning like a kaleidoscope.
Zhu Qingchen rushed out of the room and pushed the door of the reception room open with force, making a loud bang.
What kind of liberal and democratic teacher is this? Letting students fly on their own?
He quits!
This is his student. He tells the student to go where he wants him to go! He tells the student not to see someone, and the student cannot see that person!
He wants to be the only teacher in the world!
Zhu Qingchen took half a second to look around and understand the situation, then rushed to Shi Ran and pulled him behind him.
Mother Shen had used all her strength to cling to Shi Ran.
Now Zhu Qingchen pulled Shi Ran away, she lost her support and fell forward involuntarily.
Zhu Qingchen protected Shi Ran and backed away repeatedly, fearing that she would climb up again.
Mother Shen fell to the ground, raised her head, and looked at Shi Ran in disbelief: “Xiao Ran, are you just going to watch your mother fall?”
Shi Ran did not hesitate. He stood behind the teacher and answered honestly: "You were holding me with great strength just now. You can definitely stand up on your own."
Hearing him say this, Mother Shen was stunned for a moment, and her crying stopped abruptly.
Zhu Qingchen couldn't help laughing out loud.
That is, when she was catching people, she was as strong as an ox, but now she suddenly becomes weak and delicate?
It's a huge joke.
The scene was too embarrassing. Father Shen, who had been sitting on the sofa and acting like an elder, finally couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and helped Mother Shen up.
Mother Shen sat down on the sofa, wiping her tears, looking past Zhu Qingchen, still looking at Shi Ran sadly, hoping to impress him.
Father Shen looked at Zhu Qingchen and greeted him, "Mr. Zhu, nice to meet you."
Of course they knew Zhu Qingchen, and they also knew that Zhu Qingchen was Shi Ran’s “tutor”.
Zhu Qingchen protected Shi Ran and stood at the door of the reception room without closing the door.
The guards were standing outside, ready to rush in and stop the Shen couple at any time if they made any further moves.
Zhu Qingchen felt relieved, turned back and looked at Father Shen.
Father Shen tried to calm down and gave Zhu Qingchen a polite smile: "My wife and I are traveling outside, and we haven't had time to visit Mr. Zhu. During this period, Mr. Zhu has worked hard to teach Xiao Ran."
Zhu Qingchen frowned and did not answer.
Father Shen didn't feel embarrassed. He paused and said, "We all heard about that matter from Xiao Ran just now. My wife was too anxious just now and was a little rude. I hope Mr. Zhu will forgive me for my sake."
Zhu Qingchen asked back: "So Mr. Shen knows that such behavior is very rude?"
What?
Father Shen was stunned for a moment. He had already apologized, so shouldn’t Zhu Qingchen wave his hand politely and say “it’s okay”?
Why would he ask that?
Zhu Qingchen continued to ask: "Since you knew it was rude, why didn't you come out to stop her? When she was pulling Shi Ran just now, why didn't you just come up and pull her away? Why didn't you apologize to Shi Ran?"
"Mr. Shen has been sitting upright on the sofa. I thought Mr. Shen was either a wooden sculpture or he acquiesced to her behavior and deliberately indulged her."
"Of course not..." Father Shen tried to smooth things over, "This matter is our family affair after all. We are all very worried about Xiuping, and we also want to discuss it slowly with Xiaoran."
"In other words, the same behavior is called 'discussion' in front of Shi Ran, but in front of me, it is called 'disrespect'." Zhu Qingchen looked at him seriously, "Is that what you mean?"
"Of course not." Father Shen said hurriedly, "Mr. Zhu, please don't worry. I admit that my wife's behavior may be excessive."
"I'm not in a hurry." Zhu Qingchen said calmly, "What I asked was why you were sitting on the sofa like a piece of wood, not moving. You answered that your wife was overly aggressive."
"The subject doesn't even match." Zhu Qingchen said seriously, "Mr. Shen, I think you should calm down and stop being so emotional. It's hard for us to communicate normally when you're so excited." Zhu Qingchen counterattacked the accusation that Shen's father tried to put on him.
Father Shen wanted to refute, but he couldn’t say anything.
Zhu Qingchen pursed his lips and said, "Oh, sorry, I made a mistake. When your wife was holding Shi Ran, you were there to speak for her. You are not a piece of wood, you are a piece of wood that can speak."
Father Shen was a little annoyed: “Mr. Zhu, don’t…”
"Don't get too excited." Zhu Qingchen said what he was about to say before him, "Mr. Shen, who is the one who is excited? It doesn't seem to be me, right?"
Father Shen clenched his fists and forced himself to calm down.
Zhu Qingchen glanced at him, then glanced at Mother Shen.
Mother Shen was also frightened by him, sitting on the sofa, her tears stopped instantly, she stood up from the sofa silently, and took a half step back.
Zhu Qingchen said calmly: "Mr. Shen, Mrs. Shen, I want to correct you on one thing. Shen Xiuping privately tampered with the test takers' scores. This is not your family's family affair, but an important case for the entire empire."
"Please put yourself in the right place. You are now the family members of the suspect. You are also suspected of committing a crime and need to cooperate with the investigation and accept interrogation."
"And my student Shi Ran is the victim of this crime. Now it's the victim and the suspect who are talking to each other. Please put away your inexplicable eldership and stop crying and bossing him around."
"Answer whatever the victim asks, got it?"
Neither the Shen couple said anything.
Normally, they would not take Zhu Qingchen seriously, but now...
"Did you hear that?"
Zhu Qingchen raised his voice, and the soldiers guarding the gate put their hands on their waists, ready to draw their weapons at any time.
The two of them then responded reluctantly: "I heard it."
Zhu Qingchen turned to look at Shi Ran: "Don't you have something else you want to ask them? Ask."
Zhu Qingchen sat down on the single rocking chair next to him, leaned back on the knitted chair, put his hands on the armrests, and rocked the chair leisurely.
The Shen family is full of selfish and unreasonable people. If he didn't come over, they would pester Shi Ran all day long.
With Zhu Qingchen watching over them, the Shen couple indeed behaved much better.
Mother Shen wanted to go forward to pull Shi Ran, but Shi Ran took a step back and avoided her.
He said coldly: "I only have a few questions, and I'll leave after I'm done."
“Okay.” Mother Shen nodded, “Xiao Ran, ask.”
Shi Ran stood behind the teacher, swallowed his saliva, and asked with some difficulty: "Did you know about Shen Xiuping's feelings for me a long time ago?"
The Shen family couple looked at each other and said, "Of course not..."
"You don't have to rush to deny it. Let me ask you more clearly. Did you know that Shen Xiuping wanted to marry me? Did you go out to travel on purpose? Did you deliberately leave me to him?"
Shi Ran became more and more excited as he asked. Shen's mother became a little anxious and said quickly: "Xiao Ran, what nonsense are you talking about? How could mom and dad treat you like this? You are overthinking it. We don't know at all..."
At this time, Zhu Qingchen leaned back in the rocking chair, closed his eyes, rocked the chair, and gently reminded: "Please tell the truth."
Shi Ran's eyes were red as he looked at them seriously: "When you first adopted me, did you treat me as a 'child bride'?"
"No, of course not!" Mother Shen retorted hastily, "Xiao Ran, you misunderstood, Mom and Dad really don't know anything..."
"If you don't know anything, then why do you always allow him to come into my room in the middle of the night? Allow him to drag me away in public? Allow him to control everything about me?"
Mother Shen said quickly: “This is all a misunderstanding. Your father and I thought this was a sign of your brotherly love for each other…”
"Nonsense!" Shi Ran said sternly, "I've already asked my classmates, and their brothers and sisters, when they grow up, will never casually enter each other's rooms, nor will they arbitrarily interfere in each other's affairs!"
Mother Shen explained feebly: “But you and your brother grew up together, and we thought it didn’t matter. We didn’t expect you to mind so much…”
"You're talking nonsense! There's a ten-year age gap between him and me! I didn't grow up with him. When I was still a child, he had already grown up!"
"Other parents teach their children to respect themselves and protect themselves, but you never taught me! You only say this is love, this is love, but this is not 'love', this is 'sexual harassment'!"
"Why did you deliberately go on a trip and leave me to him when you knew he had such disgusting thoughts about me? You never liked traveling before, and you have never traveled before!"
"Even if you didn't know at first, you couldn't have not known on the day I split! Why did you go out to travel? Why?!"
"I called you, why did you advise me to stay at home? You told me that you would talk to Shen Xiuping, but you didn't say anything! Nothing!"
Shi Ran's eyes were red and he wiped his eyes fiercely with the back of his hand.
He would rather rub his eyes until they turned red than shed another tear.
"Why do you always say one thing and do another in your heart? It's always like this. I complain to you, and you say you will teach Shen Xiuping a lesson, but you don't do anything!"
Father and Mother Shen looked unhappy.
"You can't answer, so I'll answer. Because in your hearts, Shen Xiuping is the most important, and you can't bear to teach him a lesson. Every time, you just want to stabilize me and let me not make things worse, that's all."
Shi Ran has finished asking questions.
Even if Shen's father and mother don't admit it, it doesn't matter.
He has already answered his own question.
He was too stupid. He knew the answer in his heart, but he still didn't give up and wanted to come over to ask.
After all, they were the adoptive parents who raised him, and regardless of what happened to Shen Xiuping, they were still very good to him.
But now, Shi Ran found that he couldn't let go of Shen Xiuping's matter at all.
That's it, he understands it all.
Shi Ran sighed heavily and said to Zhu Qingchen, "Teacher, I have finished asking questions."
"Hmm?" Zhu Qingchen opened his eyes and stood up from the rocking chair. "Then let's go."
Seeing that they were about to leave, the Shen couple became a little anxious and hurried forward to hold them back.
"Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran, don't leave yet. Mom and Dad know they were wrong. Mom and Dad really didn't think these things would be so serious at the beginning. I'm sorry. Mom and Dad apologize to you here."
"Your brother... No, about Xiuping, Mom and Dad also apologize to you on his behalf. You can ask for whatever conditions you want, and Mom and Dad will do our best to compensate you."
Shi Ran remained unmoved and continued walking outside.
"Xiao Ran, please, save Xiuping. He is the only son that mom and dad have... No, you two are the only sons that mom and dad have. You two are equally important. Mom and dad cannot lose him."
Look, they accidentally said what was in their heart.
Shi Ran stopped and looked back at them.
Father and Mother Shen thought there was hope, and hurriedly continued: "Mom and Dad know they were wrong, and know that they handled the previous things improperly. Give Mom and Dad another chance, and Mom and Dad will definitely teach him a lesson."
"Xiao Ran, mom and dad will kneel down and apologize to you first. When Xiuping comes out, mom and dad will ask him to kneel down and apologize to you as well, okay?"
"Please, just think of a solution. It's very simple as long as you change your words! As long as you change your words, mom and dad will take care of the rest!"
Zhu Qingchen:?
Soldier guarding the door:? ?
Marshal Gu who was sitting in the next room: ???
Zhu Qingchen tilted his head and looked at the couple in disbelief: "I'm still here, and you dare to instigate my students to give false testimony in front of me?"
"Mr. Zhu..." Father Shen almost forgot about Zhu Qingchen, and quickly pointed a number at him, "Mr. Zhu, how about this number?"
Zhu Qingchen was so angry that he almost laughed. He said loudly: "You still want to bribe me?"
“No…” Father Shen wanted to cover his mouth and tell him to keep his voice down.
Father Shen continued to add money: "This? How about it? Is it good?"
He was desperate and cast his eyes on the two soldiers in front of the door: "You two have some too, this... this..."
Father Shen kept counting numbers with his fingers, just like playing catapult.
But the two soldiers were like door gods and ignored him.
Zhu Qingchen couldn't help laughing out loud.
Shi Ran stepped forward and pulled Mr. and Mrs. Shen apart, preventing them from pestering the teacher.
"Xiao Ran, just think of it as pity for your parents..."
Shi Ran said, "You are not my parents."
"What?" Both Father and Mother Shen were stunned.
"You are just my adoptive parents." Shi Ran said seriously, "My father and mother were excellent soldiers in the Guards. They died when I was five years old."
"He changed my grades and detained me. I am the victim. Why should I save him? Now the matter has become a hot topic on Starnet. What will happen to me if I give false testimony? Have you never thought about it?"
"If my parents were still alive, they would never let me suffer such injustice. They would definitely support me in seeking justice, and they would never let me make false certificates."
Shi Ran finally concluded: "You are not my parents at all."
"The teacher has made it very clear just now. This is the Empire's business, not our family's business. It's useless for me to change my words, and I don't want to change my words. I will say what the facts are." After he finished speaking, Mother Shen seemed to have been drained of her strength in an instant. She took a breath of cold air, leaned back, and fell exactly on the sofa.
Father Shen didn't have time to care about her anymore, and stepped forward to pull Shi Ran.
Zhu Qingchen stepped forward and separated him from his students.
“Mr. Shen, let me remind you again.”
"You are the family members of the suspect, and my students are the victims. You have no right to force my students to do anything. Since you keep saying it's a misunderstanding, then cooperate with the investigation and wait for the Empire to investigate the misunderstanding and return Shen Xiuping's 'innocence'."
"Besides, instead of worrying about Shen Xiuping, you might as well worry about yourselves."
Father Shen raised his head and looked at him with some confusion.
Zhu Qingchen moved closer, smiled at him, and whispered, "The Marshal is next door."
Father Shen was like being struck by lightning, and his whole body was fixed in place.
The Marshal is next door, so doesn't that mean...
Did the Marshal hear everything they just said?
What did he say just now? He asked Shi Ran to help him give false testimony, and he tried to bribe Zhu Qingchen.
Zhu Qingchen didn't want to say more, turned to Shi Ran and said, "Let's go."
"good."
Impossible! How could the Marshal come here? Zhu Qingchen must have tricked him!
Father Shen refused to believe it, and followed Zhu Qingchen and Shi Ran, rushing out of the reception room, wanting to rush to the next room to take a look.
The soldiers guarding the gate couldn't stop him.
Just at this moment, Gu Yan walked out of the dark room while adjusting the cufflinks of his military uniform. The pressure from his body forced Father Shen to retreat again and again.
"marshal……"
It's really him.
Father Shen was shaking all over.
Gu Yan said calmly, "The Empire will investigate the matter of Chen Xiuping tampering with the examinee's scores. The Empire will also investigate your intention to threaten the victim and bribe the witnesses."
Father Shen had only one thought in his mind: it was over, everything was over.
Father Shen fell back and hit the floor with a loud bang.
When Shen's mother heard the noise, she rushed out and helped him up: "Old Shen, Old Shen, how are you?"
The next second, when Shen's mother saw Gu Yan, she also screamed as if she had seen a ghost.
Zhu Qingchen turned and looked at Shi Ran.
Shi Ran's eyes were red, he said nothing, and had no intention of going forward to help them.
He said in a hoarse voice, "Teacher, let's go."
"good."
Since the student is no longer soft-hearted, Zhu Qingchen will certainly not persuade him anymore.
Zhu Qingchen clenched his tightly clenched fist and said, "Let's go."
Shi Ran turned around without any reluctance and left.
Behind him came Shen's mother's reckless scolding: "Shi Ran, you eat and drink from my family, we have raised you for more than ten years, and this is how you repay us!"
Shi Ran quickened his pace, almost running, leaving all these messy words behind.
Zhu Qingchen looked back and saw Mother Shen hugging Father Shen in the dim corridor, yelling and cursing.
He suddenly thought of something and turned back.
Mother Shen was stunned when she saw him suddenly come back.
Zhu Qingchen folded his hands, bent down in front of the Shen family couple, and said softly: "Don't talk as if you are great. I know that you have made a lot of money relying on Shi Ran, right?"
Zhu Qingchen actually didn't know that he just wanted to cheat them on a whim.
Unexpectedly, after this sentence was thrown, the Shen couple really took the bait.
Both of them changed their expressions, and Zhu Qingchen asked again: "Reputation, money, and Shen Xiuping's position, huh?"
Just say half of the sentence and get to the point.
Seeing that they were all stunned, Zhu Qingchen understood and turned away, saying to Gu Yan, "Send someone to investigate, there must be something fishy going on!"
*
It's all fake, all fake!
What Shi Ran thought was the grace of upbringing and the love of his parents were all fake!
He could accept the Shen couple's partiality, after all, Shen Xiuping was their biological son, but he could not accept that the Shen parents were so unable to distinguish right from wrong.
They would rather let him lie, let him go back on his words, let him bear all the grievances, just to make him replace Shen Xiuping.
After returning to the Marshal's Mansion, Shi Ran covered his head and sat on the sofa in a daze.
Zhu Qingchen sat next to him and poured him a glass of warm water.
Shi Ran spoke, his voice too hoarse: "Teacher, I was wrong."
"I actually still had a glimmer of hope for them. I knew they might be biased, but I didn't expect them to be so biased."
"When I went to meet them, I told myself that as long as they said, 'Shen Xiuping did something wrong, and although they were sad, they would support Shen Xiuping in accepting legal punishment,' as long as they said this, I would only hate Shen Xiuping, not them."
"But I was wrong, absolutely wrong. I shouldn't have gone to see them at all."
Shi Ran hit his head with his fist.
From the age of five until now, he seemed to be living in a huge illusion, and now that the illusion was shattered, he felt as if he was being pulled and nearly torn in two.
Zhu Qingchen touched his head and said, "This is not your fault. You can't choose your adoptive family, and it's normal for you to have hope for them before. This only shows that you are a good child, not that you are wrong."
"This is their fault, not yours, and there is no need for you to blame yourself for it. It's not too late to see the truth now. Although you have been taught a fool by them, you are a good child with principles and justice."
"Why should you be sad just because a bad guy scolded you? Good and bad are inherently opposites. Since you are a good kid, you will definitely have conflicts with them. And you behaved very well today and didn't let down your guard at all, huh?"
Zhu Qingchen stuffed the warm water into his hands. Shi Ran lowered his head and drank the water in small sips.
The teacher and the student just sat there quietly.
Shi Ran finished a glass of water, thought for a long time, and suddenly broke the silence.
He said firmly: "Teacher, I want to take the Shen family to court."
"Hmm?" Zhu Qingchen turned to look at him. "Teacher knows that you definitely want to take the Shen family to court and make public what they did."
Shi Ran nodded vigorously: "Yes."
"The teacher respects your decision. But before you make a complete decision, the teacher still wants to help you analyze it so that you don't understand what you will face next."
"Okay." Shi Ran looked at the teacher seriously.
“Shen Xiuping tampered with your grades. This matter involves the Examination Yuan, the Education Institute and other imperial departments. It is an imperial public case and should be prosecuted by the empire. You are only present as a witness.”
"If you choose to sue them, you should sue for Shen Xiuping's surveillance and control of you, and the Shen family's neglect and inadequacy of you. If you want to sue the Shen family and Shen Xiuping for this crime, the difficulty will be doubled."
"The things they did spanned too long a period of time, making it difficult to define and collect evidence. It is difficult for us to prove the seriousness of an incident, and sometimes it is even difficult for us to prove that it happened."
"They didn't insult or beat you. Mental control is more subtle. They can just beautify their actions as showing concern for you, and it's hard for you to refute it."
“So, if you want to sue them, even if they are teachers, there is no guarantee that you can actually win the case.”
"Correspondingly, there will be more people who don't understand you, and you will have to bear more serious criticism than you do now. They may say you are 'ungrateful' and 'blaming others for something else', and this matter may follow you and affect you for a long time."
Shi Ran looked solemn.
Zhu Qingchen continued, “If you don’t sue the Shen family, Shen Xiuping will still be imprisoned for modifying the test takers’ scores, and you won’t have to bear the possible discussions. You can wait for school to start. Maybe this matter will be forgotten by everyone in a few months.”
Zhu Qingchen certainly supported him in seeking justice for himself.
But Zhu Qingchen was also worried that he was overly angry and thought things were too simple.
At the beginning, explain all the situations to him clearly so that he can calm down, think seriously, and prepare for future matters.
This is necessary.
Shi Ran raised his head and wanted to ask the teacher for help: "Teacher, what do you think..."
Zhu Qingchen looked at him gently: "No matter what decision you make, the teacher understands and supports it. It's okay, you can also tell the teacher your choice in a few days and think about it slowly."
"No need." Shi Ran pursed his lips, his eyes slowly became firm, "Teacher, I have thought about it, I want to sue."
"Even if I fail, I will try." Shi Ran said seriously, "Everyone, including him, knows that it is wrong to modify the test takers' scores without authorization. Even if the Empire punishes Shen Xiuping in the end, he will only think that he was wrong in modifying the scores."
"These are two different things. I don't want to hide behind the empire. I want to stand up and tell him that he was wrong from the beginning. He was wrong from the beginning to the end. I want to tell everyone that Shen Xiuping did more than just this one wrong thing."
"I can bear the consequences of failure and the criticisms from others, but I must tell you everything the Shen family has done. I want to try!"
"Okay." Zhu Qingchen patted his shoulder. "Teacher and the marshal will do their best to help you collect evidence. Whether we win or lose, we will try our best. Teacher will contact the lawyer now. Go wash your face and we will start right away."
Shi Ran wiped his eyes vigorously: "Okay."!
