Chapter 65 Will You Cry?

The school bell has already rung.

The campus suddenly became extremely quiet.

The sound of the cart wheels rolling on the ground was particularly noticeable, as if reminding Qin Zhao how absurd he was being.

She only fell slightly, but Shen Yanci borrowed a wheelchair from the infirmary and even wrapped her hands up like a rice dumpling.

She glanced at the wheelchair and then at Shen Yanci: "I'm really fine. Should we go check on Lin Shi?"

Shen Yanci looked down at her, his voice low and magnetic: "Want to cry?"

"..."

In the office, Liu Sheng's mother held her son tightly, heartbroken and crying, demanding an explanation: "Director Yang, this is assaulting a classmate! Look what he did to my son! He must be severely punished!"

The director had already understood the whole story and confirmed that Liu Sheng was the one who caused trouble first, but that was not a reason for Lin Shi to take action. He dodged the question by saying, "Lin Shi, no matter what, it was wrong of you to take action. Apologize to Liu Sheng first."

Lin Shi, hands in his pockets, face turned to one side, head tilted back, looking nonchalant, said, word by word, "I did nothing wrong."

"Director Yang, look at his attitude!" Liu Sheng's mother was furious. "He doesn't respect the school at all! We parents came over as soon as we got the call."

"What they're doing? The child won't admit their mistake, and the parents won't come themselves, so they just send an assistant. Do they even respect us? Do they even respect the school?! Like father, like son!"

Lin Shi grunted in agreement, his tone nonchalant: "I agree."

"..."

Assistant Fan gave him a look, signaling him not to add fuel to the fire: "President Lin and President Qin are indeed quite busy, and they have entrusted this matter to me. We are already clear about the cause and effect of the matter."

During the basketball game, Liu deliberately bumped into Qin Zhao, injuring him beyond the bounds of reasonable physical contact. This is evidenced by video footage and bystanders. Lin Shi, acting as an older brother protecting his younger brother, pushed Liu…”

“What do you mean by pushing and shoving!” Liu Sheng’s mother disagreed. “This is assault! Intentional injury! I’m only doing this out of respect for the director. If you continue to be so unreasonable and refuse to admit your mistake, I’ll have no choice but to call the police! You can expect to be detained!”

The director was at his wit's end: "Everyone, calm down first."

"Report."

A voice, trembling with grievance and on the verge of tears, broke the tense atmosphere.

Qin Zhao's eyes were misty, and his eyes were brimming with tears, threatening to fall.

His hands were wrapped up like dumplings, with blood seeping from them. His school uniform pants at the knees were stained dark with blood, and his right leg was weakly resting on the wheelchair footrest.

The grade supervisor's temples throbbed.

Before he could recover, Lin Shi exploded again, raising his arm to beat Liu Sheng up once more.

The office erupted into chaos, and the grade supervisor and Assistant Fan rushed to pull him away.

"Lin Shi! What are you doing! This is an office!"

He was incredibly strong, and it took the grade supervisor and Assistant Fan a lot of effort to hold him back. Even so, his leg was still kicking in the air towards Liu Sheng, cursing as he kicked.

Liu Sheng's mother shouted, "Murder! Murder! The students from Yinghua are going to kill someone!"

Qin Zhao looked up at Shen Yanci, bewildered. How could things have turned out differently than she had imagined?

The mist in her eyes hadn't yet dissipated, and the corners of her eyes and the tip of her nose were faintly red. She looked at her helplessly and dependently, gradually matching the scene in her dream.

Shen Yanci's Adam's apple bobbed, and he struggled to pinch her chin, turning her face away. His voice was soft and hoarse, like a drop of water falling into the ocean in the noisy office, so subtle that even Qin Zhao couldn't hear it clearly: "Don't look at me."

"..."

After confirming Qin Zhao's injuries, Assistant Fan pondered for a moment: "This situation is probably beyond my ability to mediate. Liu intentionally caused harm to Qin Zhao, and according to Article 3 of the Criminal Law, intentional injury is punishable by up to three years imprisonment, detention, or public surveillance." "I will take Qin Zhao to obtain a medical examination report and truthfully report it to General Manager Lin and General Manager Qin. If litigation is pursued, please ask Liu and his mother to be prepared to receive the court summons." Assistant Fan looked at the grade supervisor.

"If I remember correctly, your school is currently conducting an anti-bullying campaign. Such egregious incidents are extremely serious. I would appreciate it if Director Yang could send me a copy of the disciplinary action taken against Liu."

"..."

Mrs. Liu got impatient: "Whatever you say goes! You're not a judge!"

Assistant Fan smiled slightly, neither humble nor arrogant: "I have a master's degree in law and a lawyer's license. Of course, the Lin Group has specialized litigation lawyers, and Ms. Liu's mother can also find a lawyer to prepare in advance."

Mrs. Liu looked at the grade supervisor, Director Yang, who was already overwhelmed. He had just finished issuing an investigation report and now he had to submit another one. He nodded to Mrs. Liu, indicating that Assistant Fan's words were true. The Lin family's litigation lawyer was no joke.

Liu's mother immediately panicked and changed her story: "It was just a joke between classmates."

"A joke? Does the way I made him look like that count as a joke?" Lin Shi sneered.

Liu Sheng's mother stammered, "It was just an accident."

Finally, with the mediation of the grade supervisor, Liu Sheng reluctantly apologized to Qin Zhao and said he would cover the medical expenses.

Assistant Fan stated that he did not have the authority to accept the request, but would consult with General Manager Lin and then provide a response, which would be shared with Director Yang as soon as possible.

Mrs. Liu slapped her son in exasperation: "Why did you use so much force!"

She could have just been given a simple talking-to; why did she have to make it so obvious and get filmed?

Liu Sheng, head bowed, said, "How was I supposed to know she was so weak? She flew out with just one bump!"

"..."

Lin Shi frowned and looked at Shen Yanci: "Why did you bring her here? Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on her?"

Qin Zhao's gaze fell on the bruises under his eyes, his expression complex.

Lin clicked his tongue awkwardly and turned his back on her.

When school was over, Jiang Man and Fang Tian originally wanted to push Qin Zhao away, but after Shen Yanci arrived, they naturally gave up their hands.

When they reached the stairs, Qin Zhao stood up: "It's okay, I can walk."

Shen Yanci pressed her down: "You need to act more convincingly."

Qin Zhao paused for a moment, then looked around: "But there's no one here now."

Jiang Man had just been concerned about her injuries and chatted for a while, but she'd lingered for so long that almost everyone had left.

Shen Yanci lifted his eyelids slightly, his pupils dark: "Then can I hug you?"

There's no one around, so can I hug her now?
"..."

His hand expertly slipped through her arm, but Qin Zhao immediately grabbed the hand that was closest to her, preventing him from moving: "This isn't a good idea."

Shen Yanci lowered his eyelids slightly: "They're all men, what's there to be afraid of?"

"..."

Yanci, do you dare look Zhaozhao in the eyes and say that again?! You bullied her because she's "straight," you lied to her so much...

Now: Don't look at me.
Later: Zhaozhao, look at me...
