Even a fool could guess who the 'bumpkin' they were talking about was.
And this is not over yet...
As Chen Maoyuan opened each video, he saw Ye Lan being pushed and slapped by several people on the edge of the playground, her homework books being torn up and thrown into the trash can in the classroom, her desk always filled with trash, and her being tied to a tree at the school gate to prevent her from entering...
The instigators of all this were all students from Class A.
"Maybe there has never been any major case in the school that required checking the surveillance, so everyone thinks these cameras are just decorations. I discovered them by chance today." Chen Maoyuan pushed the rimless glasses on his nose. The smile on his face had long faded, leaving only indifference as he looked at the students in Class A under the podium.
Teacher Ding also looked at his students with a complicated expression, "You, really..."
She wanted to ask if she had really done those things, but then she remembered the irrefutable evidence in the video. It seemed that there was no need to justify anything anymore, and she suddenly felt powerless.
At this moment, all the students in Class A, whose actions were exposed, panicked.
"Teacher, we are just joking, we are not serious!"
"Yes, we didn't do that on purpose. It was the angle. It must have been the angle. We just wanted to make friends with Ye Lan!"
"Teacher, we just had a little friction. Ye Lan was the first to make a move, but the video didn't capture it!"
...A group of teenagers who acted with a clear conscience when doing evil things, but became helpless when being exposed, tried desperately to find all kinds of excuses to exonerate themselves, and looked to their class teacher for help.
Teacher Ding, who had brought them all the way here, also softened his heart.
Although the reason sounded ridiculous, she still had a glimmer of hope. She turned to look at Chen Maoyuan and said, "Principal, your view of the video is quite one-sided. You can't convict a student without a thorough investigation."
After she finished speaking, she remembered how hypocritical it was for her to come in without knowing the truth and directly persuade Ye Lan to leave when she saw him beating someone. Her face turned red and she felt a little guilty.
"Yeah, that makes sense." Chen Maoyuan didn't expose her. After agreeing with her point once again, he smiled and said, "So I've already called the police. I believe the police's professional analysis can give the students justice."
boom.
These words were like a thunderclap, which immediately blew everyone's nerves.
Ye Lan, who seemed like an outsider at the moment, raised her eyebrows and looked at Chen Maoyuan with interest.
She thought he was a traditional and pedantic educator who valued harmony, but she didn't expect him to be so decisive.
The moment they heard the alarm, the whole class burst into tears.
Many people collapsed in their chairs, trembling with fear. "Wow, wow, wow! I don't want to go to the police station. I don't want to go to jail. I won't dare to do that again. Teacher, please save me... I want to see my parents..."
Some even rushed to Teacher Ding’s feet, hugged her thighs and cried, “Teacher, save us!”
Teacher Ding was also stunned. It took him a while to react. His face turned pale and he said, "Principal, it's just a small matter between children. Calling the police...isn't it too serious?"
"Is it serious?" Chen Maoyuan turned around to look at her, a smile on his face not reaching his eyes as he reminded her, "But Ye Lan just hit someone, and Teacher Ding said he would be expelled from the school. He also clearly stated that such bad behavior cannot be tolerated."
Teacher Ding felt like he was slapped in the face by his own words, and his face was burning with pain. He finally realized that Chen Maoyuan was on Ye Lan's side, and he couldn't help but feel panicked.
As her vision wandered, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the slender figure standing in the back row of the classroom. An idea flashed through her mind, "Yes, as long as you reach a settlement with Ye Lan, everything will be fine. Get up, get up quickly and apologize to Ye Lan and get her forgiveness. Otherwise, if you go to the police station, it will definitely be in your files!"
Upon hearing this, the students in the class stopped crying and looked at Ye Lan, feeling mixed emotions.
The people who were once trampled under their feet are now asked to bow down to them. It’s degrading to think about it.
But when they thought about the record that would be left in the archives, they had to give in.
Soon a student stood up and apologized to Ye Lan.
"sorry."
"I'm sorry Ye Lan."
"I was wrong, Ye Lan, please forgive me."
With one person taking the lead, the others followed suit, and finally even Qin Xiaosi and the boy lowered their heads and squeezed out the three words "I'm sorry" in a soft voice.
They thought that just letting go of their pride and lowering their noble heads would be enough.
However, Ye Lan, who was sitting in his seat, did not show any expression fluctuation.
Teacher Ding stepped forward with a smile and said, "Ye Lan, look, everyone has apologized to you. We're classmates after all, so why don't you just let it go?"
never mind.
Those two light words seemed to erase everything from the past, as if in the eyes of the elders, all the bullying was just an insignificant joke between students.
Perhaps the original body, who was weak in character and eager to integrate into the collective, would choose to forgive, but the person in this body now is Ye Lan, the leader of a sect.
She remembered the TV show Ah Yue had watched last night and casually responded, "If apologies were effective, what would the world need the police for?"
Teacher Ding: “…”
Finally, the police arrived.
It was also the first time for the other party to see the police being called to take away an entire class of students, and he repeatedly confirmed the intention of the principal Chen Maoyuan.
Chen Maoyuan only nodded slightly and said seriously, "Since Jiangjing No. 1 Middle School is regarded as a role model, this kind of bullying behavior cannot be tolerated. In addition to the students, the class teacher must also bear the corresponding responsibility and be dismissed."
