Film and Television: Are the leading ladies using my rewards?

"Oh right," Ye Bai suddenly slapped his forehead, as if remembering something, "I forgot to mention the gift your family sent."

"If parents give gifts to teachers, the amount is small and there is no intention to seek improper benefits, it usually does not constitute a crime."

"However, if the amount is large, or if there is an intent to bribe for improper gain, it may constitute the crime of bribery."

"You've been saying this golden turtle is 'heavy' and valuable, do you think it's worth a huge sum?"

"And the golden coin turtle, it's a protected animal, it's a crime to catch it!"

After saying that, he turned to look at Li Meng in the crowd.

“Teacher Li, you saved yourself by refusing the scary things they sent.”

"It's not just about accepting bribes, it's also about protecting animals."

Li Meng pursed her lips and didn't step forward to speak.

The innocent will remain innocent, and rumors will stop with the wise. If no one comes out to explain, the matter will gradually dissipate.

He stepped forward, looking rather guilty.

But while she remained calm, Fang Yifan couldn't stand it.

"No way, are you fucking crazy?!"

I'll fucking kill you!

The seriousness of the situation was finally realized.

Fang Yifan shouted and rushed towards Ye Bai.

"what--"

"I'm going to kill you, you little bastard!"

Hearing this, Tong Wenjie, standing in the crowd, and seeing that Fang Yuan, the legal counsel, wasn't trying to comfort her, knew it was true.

He roared back and charged toward Ye Bai.

Ye Bai shifted to the side and took a step back.

He adopted Ip Man's starting stance, facing the middle of the two people.

Not to mention that I've practiced martial arts for over ten years, I've even started cultivating immortality, so why would I be afraid of you?

Then all my cultivation as an immortal has been for nothing!

Before either of them could reach Ye Bai, they were pulled back by the surrounding students and parents.

Li Meng, who originally didn't want to go out, saw that a fight was about to break out.

He gritted his teeth and strode out of the crowd.

Li Meng first made a loud statement to the students and parents who were watching.

"I never accept gifts, whether they are valuable or not."

"This is a teacher's duty!"

"Not just me, none of the teachers in our school accept gifts!"

Then he said to Ye Bai, Fang Yifan, Tong Wenjie, and Fang Yuan:

"Stop! Come with me to the office, let's all sit down and have a good talk!"

Chapter 033 ┤Sophistry? Impossible, let the facts speak for themselves!

Teachers' office.

Ye Bai and Su Yunjin, having released the balloons, sat down to one side.

The former was even more composed, leisurely exchanging whispers with the school beauty next to him who didn't have the title of school beauty.

Fang Yuan, Tong Wenjie, and Fang Yifan sat on the other side.

The father, sweating profusely, pondered the situation, while the mother and son glared menacingly at the other side.

The old Buddha stared angrily for a long time.

After discovering that Ye Bai remained unmoved, she turned to Fang Yuan and instructed him on what to say.

Li Meng and several other teachers sat in the middle, fearing that if they weren't careful, the Fang family might actually make a move, adding insult to injury.

When the police officers came in, Tong Wenjie was whispering to Fang Yuan.

"I told you you were wasting your time on frivolous pursuits, but you wouldn't listen. Look what you've done now!"

"Listen to me, just say you were fooled, you misjudged it, and you bought a fake. This is not a genuine golden coin turtle."

"After I get rid of all that clutter in the house, I'll study hard and get my lawyer's license. That's better than anything else!"

Fang Yuan remained silent.

After many years of marriage, he knew his wife meant well and reminded him to first clear himself of any legal responsibility involved.

But at the same time, she also wanted to suppress her hobbies so that she could save money and be more ambitious.

As Jia Baoyu's father, Jia Zheng was not someone who could be encouraged to improve himself by Lady Wang; he was truly incapable!

As a wealthy and idle man of the older generation, Jia Zheng was incapable of taking the imperial examinations.

As for Fang Yuan, he also lacked the ability to verify it.

They are the same, exactly the same!

Upon seeing the police enter, Fang Yuan quickly stood up.

At the same time, he turned his head and whispered to Tong Wenjie:

"Don't talk nonsense. If you're targeting the money turtle, that's illegal. If you say that, it'll be hard to explain!"

Then he took the initiative to reach out and shake hands with the two of them, making a preemptive move.

"Thank you both for your hard work. My son got into an argument with a classmate and pretended to be a genuine golden turtle, but what does a little kid like him know?"

“Golden coin turtles are nationally protected animals. As a legal professional, how could I knowingly break the law? Besides, I couldn’t possibly buy genuine golden coin turtles at the flower and bird market.”

"This is what they call a golden coin turtle. It's used in this industry to replace the golden coin turtle because it's easy to keep as a pet. They call it a golden coin turtle to bring good luck."

"So that's how it is." The two comrades nodded.

This whole thing started with Fang Yifan's blatant denigration of Ye Bai; to put it bluntly, it was a conflict between two high school students.

So they didn't take it too seriously.

In addition, most Chinese people are accustomed to minimizing major issues and resolving minor issues altogether.

The two comrades even came with the intention of mediating the conflict between the two parties.

Now that I hear it, I'm even less inclined to believe it's that serious.

Of course, as the iron fist of the nation, they cannot be swayed by one-sided opinions.

Because Fang Yuan spoke first, they listened to Fang Yuan's words first, and now they looked at Ye Bai.

"Ye Bai, what do you have to say?"

“There’s no need for you two to rush,” Ye Bai said calmly, unlike Fang Yuan’s impatience. He didn’t even get up. “Come, you two sit down first, and we’ll talk slowly.”

"I'm not like them, in a hurry to give you a preconceived impression."

"Truth becomes clearer through debate, and reason becomes clearer through explanation. Who is right, who is wrong, and who broke the law are all clearly laid out here. Let's speak with facts."

"I believe that the iron fist of justice will not wrong an innocent person, nor will it let a guilty person go unpunished."

"You all agree, right?"

Ye Bai's profound reasoning put them under pressure.

The two comrades were startled and finally looked Ye Bai in the eye.

Putting everything else aside, just based on their tone, if they try to smooth things over and the child exposes the matter, things will get even worse!

Moreover, the other party was organized and calm, and remained unhurried and methodical in front of the two of them.

Who would believe he has no backing?

Therefore, the two comrades also gave up on a quick victory, and one of them was willing to back down and admit his mistake when he saw the official.

He sat down and gestured for Ye Bai to sit down.

"Then, student, please share your thoughts."

And you know what? They're quite curious about what kind of things a kid like that might say!

"Then I won't stand on ceremony," Ye Bai smiled at Fang Yuan, Fang Yifan, and Tong Wenjie, "I'll briefly share my immature thoughts for your reference."

"First, I specifically confirmed that Fang Yifan said his father, Fang Yuan, knew that this was a genuine golden coin turtle and specially bought it to give to Teacher Li Meng."

"And he repeatedly emphasized that Mr. Fang Yuan is a professional who spends all his time tinkering with these things and could open a flower, bird, fish and insect shop at home. He also said that this golden turtle was a valuable purchase."

"As for whether it's real or authentic, you two comrades can take it back to the bureau and have experts examine it. Anyway, I've taken photos, and I believe the country won't act like the Bald Eagle."

It didn't specify which one.

But if they explicitly state that photos were taken, doesn't that mean they're not worried about the authenticity of the authentication results?

If it's not genuine, then the police station will be in big trouble!

Upon hearing this, Fang Yuan broke out in a cold sweat once again.

This kid really knows how to grasp the key point; he's directly targeted the crux of the whole incident.

What the two sides say is not important; the golden turtle is right here. Whether it's real or fake, a simple inspection will tell!

Moreover, as Ye Bai said, Fang Yifan emphasized it repeatedly, but why did he say that? Wasn't it because he, as a father, was proud of himself and said it a lot?

I kept emphasizing authenticity because I was afraid that if I gave Li Meng a gift, she wouldn't know its value!

Despite the tension, Fang Yuan remained calm.

But they forgot that Ye Bai said several points, not one point.

Then Ye Bai continued:

"Secondly, in most cases, parents give gifts to teachers out of gratitude or to express their hope that the teachers will take better care of their children, and the amount of the gifts is small, so it does not constitute the crime of bribery."

"However, if the amount of the gift given by the parents is large, or if they explicitly express their hope that the teacher will give the child special attention, such as improving grades or giving special treatment, it may constitute the crime of bribery."
