What happened next was easy; with irrefutable evidence, Wu Feng was quickly summoned away.
Together with Bai Yitong, the person involved, and Chen Bing, the enthusiastic classmate, the three of them went to the principal's office under the guidance of the teacher on duty. Accompanying them was Uncle Chang, the head of the security department, who had just arrested Zhu Xiaole and others that morning.
After carefully understanding the situation, before the principal could say anything, the security guard slapped Wu Feng hard on the head.
"What the hell! School is a place for learning, not for doing all this nonsense all day long. Do you even respect your parents who feed and care for you?!"
The principal made no comment on the section chief's rude behavior. Knowing that Zhu Xiaole and his group had just caused a big commotion and he didn't want to create further uproar, he planned to try and downplay the matter.
So he directly asked Bai Yitong how she wanted to resolve the issue.
"I... I want them to go to jail, is that okay..." After a pause, Bai Yitong added, "I saw online that if you're over fourteen, you'll go to jail for robbery..."
Chen Bing, who had initially felt sorry for Bai Yitong, immediately thought, "What a jerk! I knew something was off when I heard you had that recording. Turns out you're a complete hypocrite. You act all cowardly on the surface, but you've probably already imagined a hundred ways to get revenge, haven't you? Even without me, you'd probably get your revenge on those people after the high school entrance exam at the latest."
After hearing Bai Yitong's idea, the principal felt a pang of anxiety, realizing it was inappropriate. If his school were to produce several robbers, who would dare send students there in the future? He feared he would be out of a position as principal.
Seeing this, Chen Bing, who is knowledgeable about the law, also stepped in to explain: "Small and repeated acts of robbing money during school bullying are generally not treated as robbery. Moreover, these people are all under the age of sixteen, so it cannot be classified as robbery. If you do not suffer serious injury, you cannot be held criminally liable, which means you cannot go to jail."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yitong's eyes dimmed, while the principal and Wu Feng seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
But then Chen Bing added, "But they definitely still bear some responsibility for maintaining public order. And since they asked for so much money, it can't be as simple as just giving them a verbal reprimand. There will definitely be civil compensation. If you insist on pursuing the matter, they will almost certainly have more criminal records and illegal entries on their records."
After saying this, the principal didn't change, but Wu Feng's expression switched with Bai Yitong's.
"Then I will hold them accountable for their law enforcement responsibilities and make sure they have criminal records!" Bai Yitong's words didn't sound like something he would normally say. Although his tone was still mostly weak, you could still feel the determination in his heart.
"Definitely, definitely, absolutely." The principal seemed very concerned about Bai Yitong's attitude. Given the robbery, he felt that pursuing the responsibility of the public security authorities was a win-win solution.
While praising Yingchen, he suggested, "But it's so late today, it's not appropriate to call the police or anything like that. How about this, you two go back to sleep first, and the next day, I'll personally take you two to the police station to report the case. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
Hearing the principal say that, Bai Yitong looked timidly at Chen Bing, hoping he could give her some advice.
However, the other party seemed engrossed in examining the asparagus fern planted by the principal and did not give him any response.
After withdrawing her gaze and pondering for a moment, Bai Yitong thought: I can't always rely on others.
So he mustered up his courage and said to the principal, "I want to call my family first."
The principal looked somewhat troubled, because he was afraid that Bai Yitong's parents would make a scene if they heard that their child had been bullied, and that things would escalate further.
However, the parents would find out sooner or later, and it wouldn't be good to delay the call. Besides, it was quite late, and the students were already asleep; the matter should be under control. Thinking this, the principal nodded in agreement and prepared to lend the phone to the other party.
Unexpectedly, Chen Bing was faster than him and took out her phone directly from her pocket!
No, this is the principal's office! I'm the principal! Can you please tone it down a bit?
Oh well, after all, he's number one in the county, so it's normal for him to have a bit of personality. I like it.
Without changing his expression, the principal turned to look at the short Wu Feng and roared with a fierce face, "Make a phone call! Didn't you see they called the parents? You call your parents too and tell them to come and handle this!"
Faced with the principal's angry roar, Wu Feng answered timidly, "Report... I, I don't have a phone..."
"Stop pretending! You say you didn't bring your phone? Do you even believe that yourself?!"
After being scolded, Wu Feng glanced at Chen Bing, who had taken out her phone and seemed completely unaffected, and had no choice but to take out his own phone to make a call.
Unexpectedly, the principal and the security captain started yelling as soon as they saw his phone.
"Wow! They actually dared to bring their cell phones!"
"You told me to take it out..." Wu Feng looked at the principal with a wronged expression, then continued to endure the principal's angry shouts.
While the principal reprimanded Wu Feng, Chen Bing, seeing that the situation was under control, put away her phone and prepared to go back to her dormitory to sleep. It was already past midnight, and if she didn't sleep soon, she would be very tired in class tomorrow.
"I, I'll see you off..." Xiao Nan's mother offered, and Chen Bing didn't mind, letting him follow her to the principal's office door.
"Brother Bing, I'm so useless..."
Just as Chen Bing was about to leave, Bai Yitong suddenly sent him a message requesting a heart-to-heart talk.
It wasn't exactly impatience; Chen Bing leisurely turned around and replied with two words.
"Detailed explanation."
"I...I'm so pathetic...I was bullied but I didn't even dare to tell the teacher...And, I was threatened and asked for money every time..."
I'm so useless, I can't even protect myself!
What, are you going to turn evil?
After silently complaining to herself, Chen Bing walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him, "Didn't the RMB protect you?"
Bai Yitong, who didn't get Bing's joke, wiped away her tears and asked Chen Bing with tearful eyes, "Brother Bing, how can I become as good as you?"
Rebirth is the best way to go; things will be much better if you are reborn.
Without revealing her big secret, Chen Bing replied with the demeanor of a teacher: "Study hard, and you'll have everything."
"Really? If I study hard, will others be afraid of me?" Bai Yitong wiped away her tears again, still "tears streaming down her face."
