“Okay, I want to retrieve the surveillance footage just now. I will sue Lin Shaohui’s father together.
He just spread rumors about me in front of me, causing damage to my reputation and personal dignity,” Zhou Yining said indifferently.
“No, I just said it casually, why is this child taking it seriously? Besides, if something happened to you at school, wouldn’t it be enough to talk to the school teacher?
Why did you have to make a fuss to the point of calling the police?” Lin Zhiqiang said endlessly.
“What’s wrong? My son implemented school bullying on me, and all the evidence is complete.
Can’t I call the police? What’s the reasoning? Also, I have nothing to do with you, don’t use the tone of an elder to lecture me.”
Zhou Yining was not afraid of him at all, staring at Lin Zhiqiang.
Lin Zhiqiang wanted to scold her, but when he thought about the surveillance cameras in the office, he closed his mouth again.
He thought Zhou Yining would be the kind of little girl who wouldn’t be scared, but he didn’t expect Zhou Yining’s attitude to be so tough.
“Okay, this classmate, I already know about my son’s matter, and you have indeed suffered. How about we negotiate compensation?
You can ask for whatever amount of compensation you want, can we resolve it privately?” Lin Zhiqiang immediately changed his tone.
Zhou Yining’s lips curled coldly, “No.”
“No, police officer, they are all children, they are just playing around, please help me persuade them, it would be so good to resolve it privately…” Lin Zhiqiang said naggingly.
“This depends on the wishes of the victims, and now it seems that there is more than one victim. We have already asked people to notify the other three victims and their families to come over.
The specific solution needs you to negotiate first, and then go through the relevant legal procedures.”
As Ji Ying spoke, two more people entered the office.
The grade leader Luo Mei and Zhou Yuanfei came together, Chen Yitong frowned, how could the school still notify Zhou Yining’s parents.
After Zhou Yuanfei came in, he was like a bomb, pointing at Zhou Yining and scolding, “You useless thing, I’m going to kill you today, I’ve never been so embarrassed, you’ve caused trouble to the point of coming to the police station.”
As he spoke, Zhou Yuanfei was like a madman trying to grab Zhou Yining, Chen Yitong protected Zhou Yining tightly behind her,
“Zhou Yining’s parent, how can you say that, Zhou Yining is the victim, the police have investigated clearly, what are you doing here?”
When Zhou Yuanfei heard this, he stopped quickly.
“You didn’t say earlier, how would I know?”
Lin Zhiqiang saw that Zhou Yuanfei was Zhou Yining’s father and immediately said, “You are Zhou Yining’s father, right? It’s like this, my son did do something wrong, but it’s just children making small troubles, what do you think, can we settle it privately, let your daughter sign a letter of understanding, and I’ll compensate you with 10,000 yuan.”
Zhou Yuanfei didn’t expect to be able to get money when he came over, and immediately said,
“Okay, I also said what big things can happen in school, it’s just that the children have a quarrel, I think it’s okay.”
Ji Ying’s brow furrowed, and she didn’t expect Zhou Yining’s father to be so disgusting, but because she was wearing a police uniform, she couldn’t directly retort to Zhou Yuanfei.
But Chen Yitong couldn’t help but say,
“You are Zhou Yining’s father, right? You just came here and you don’t understand the situation at all and you want your daughter to sign a letter of understanding?
Do you know what your daughter has suffered?”
Zhou Yuanfei frowned and looked at Chen Yitong.
“Who are you?”
“I’m Zhou Yining’s class teacher. Your daughter has suffered from school bullying, do you understand? She was almost forced to jump off the building by his son, and was diagnosed with moderate depression.
You want her to sign a letter of understanding for 10,000 yuan? To put it bluntly, I’ve never seen such a money-grubbing father.”
Chen Yitong now understood why Ji Ying didn’t let her notify Zhou Yining’s parents before.
With this kind of parents, Zhou Yining was really unlucky.
“How do you talk? Don’t think that you are Zhou Yining’s class teacher, I wouldn’t dare to say anything, this is my daughter’s business, and it’s not your turn to manage it.”
Zhou Yuanfei glared at Chen Yitong and said.
Ji Ying really couldn’t bear to watch, and said, “Listen to this recording first, and I’ll briefly tell you the situation, and then you can make a decision.”
As she spoke, Ji Ying played the audio file again.
The more Zhou Yuanfei listened, the darker his face became.
He turned around and glared at Zhou Yining angrily, scolding, “Do you still have any face, to be filmed in that kind of video? You still have the face to call the police, how could I have such an embarrassing daughter.”
Zhou Yining was almost laughed at by him.
Even though she wasn’t the original owner, she felt sorry for the original owner.
“Are you sick, Zhou Yuanfei? I was changing clothes in the girls’ locker room, and they changed into girls’ clothes and went in to secretly film. You think it’s my fault? You’re really disgusting.”
“What’s wrong? Am I wrong? Why don’t people go to film others, but they go to film you? Is it because you don’t study well at school all day long, and you’re hooking up with people?”
Zhou Yuanfei continued to scold, there were so many people in the police station, of course he couldn’t lose his momentum.
The grade leader didn’t expect Zhou Yining’s parents to be this kind of person.
She said with a disgusted face, “This parent, please be respectful when you speak. Zhou Yining has been doing well in school. You can’t just put a black hat on your child without asking anything, right? I’ve taught so many years, and I’ve never met such an unreasonable parent.”
“Indeed, I’ve never seen such a money-grubbing parent either,” Chen Yitong echoed.
Ji Ying wanted to applaud them, she was a law enforcement officer, of course she couldn’t say this, but someone said it for her, and she could breathe a sigh of relief, otherwise she would be suffocated.
“No, you are all teachers at school, I am Zhou Yining’s dad, she has to listen to me, understand?” Having lost face, Zhou Yuanfei was even more arrogant, as if he was the best.
Zhou Yining almost couldn’t hold back her laughter, she had never seen such a cheap man, but she still looked at Zhou Yuanfei with a cold face.
“I am already 16 years old and can decide my own affairs. Whether I sign the letter of understanding has nothing to do with you. I will not sign it, and it is impossible for me to sign it,” Zhou Yining said coldly.
Zhou Yuanfei frowned.
“Why doesn’t this child listen to advice?”
As he spoke, he leaned over and winked at Zhou Yining, whispering to remind her, “10,000 yuan, you let people film you, what’s the use of letting his son go to jail now? You can’t get any benefits, why not take that 10,000 yuan, how much can you buy with that?”
Zhou Yining looked at him coldly and said loudly, “I don’t want 10,000 yuan. I just want justice. I will never sign the letter of understanding.”
“Tsk, this child really doesn’t listen to advice now. That’s 10,000 yuan. Haven’t you just suffered a little grievance? Besides, it’s all over…”
“You really can’t spit out ivory from a dog’s mouth. I said, I will never sign,” Zhou Yining said coldly.
Ji Ying nodded.
“This is just a routine matter for us. Since the consultation was unsuccessful and the evidence chain here is very complete, the case will proceed to the next step. Of course, you can hire lawyers for defense. As for Lin Shaohui and his friends, all of them need to be detained.”
Lin Zhiqiang had no choice but to call his wife to explain the situation.
Lin Shaohui’s mother also found the Public Security Bureau’s relationship, but she heard that there were people behind Zhou Yining, and the leaders of the bureau had spoken, and this matter must be dealt with seriously.
Lin Shaohui’s mother had no choice but to hire a lawyer for her son.
As for Zhou Yuanfei, as soon as he heard that Zhou Yining was going to hire a lawyer, he left immediately, and he was still scolding Zhou Yining for being stubborn when he left.
Chen Yitong was almost mad, she reached out and patted Zhou Yining’s shoulder, “Don’t be afraid, I can help you contact a lawyer if you need one, and you don’t have to worry about the money.”
Luo Mei also sighed, “What’s going on?”
As she spoke, she looked at Chen Yitong, “I’ll go back first. I have to go back and talk to the leaders about this matter, and see how the school will punish those three students.”
“Okay, I’ll stay here with Zhou Yining.” Chen Yitong looked at Zhou Yining, her eyes were red.
Her own students were bullied for a year, and she, as the class teacher, didn’t even know.
She felt that she was an incompetent class teacher.
After all, her attention to Zhou Yining only started after Zhou Yining’s studies improved.
“Teacher, about the lawyer…” Zhou Yining really had no money now, and she really couldn’t afford a lawyer.
“Don’t worry, my family’s company has a law firm to work with. You don’t have to worry about the lawyer’s matter. I’ll let the lawyer go to the police station tomorrow to handle the follow-up matters.
I’ll also send you the lawyer’s number tomorrow. Don’t worry about these things. It’s almost the third year of high school, it’s more meaningful to spend your time studying.”
“Thank you, teacher. I will definitely repay you when I have money,” Zhou Yining said to Chen Yitong.
“No, what are you saying? How can I let you pay the lawyer’s fee?” Chen Yitong shook her head and said.
“Then I can only think of other ways, teacher. I don’t want to owe anyone.”
Zhou Yining was telling the truth.
Zhong Yumeng helped her, and she was very grateful, but Zhou Yining wasn’t someone who would just let others help her.
Later, she would tutor Zhong Yumeng in mathematics for a year.
Chen Yitong helped her with the lawyer’s matter, and Zhou Yining would naturally have to repay the other party in the future.
She didn’t like owing people favors.
This was also the reason why she didn’t go to Jiang Xianzhu for help.
Zhou Yining felt that Jiang Xianzhu was very special to her, and she didn’t want to mix anything else into her friendship with Jiang Xianzhu.
Seeing her insistence, Chen Yitong had no choice but to say, “Okay, since you insist so much, you can repay me for the lawyer’s fee after you work in the future.”
“Okay, thank you, teacher.” Zhou Yining thought that it wouldn’t take that long.
Those people from Lin Shaohui would not only be held criminally responsible, but also have to compensate her, and that money should be enough to pay the lawyer’s fee.
