With a fair and just attitude, Ye Ziyu did not intend to deeply investigate his responsibility. However, the supervising teacher repeatedly concealed the facts and found reasons to shirk responsibility for problematic students.
Since the opportunity was given but not utilized, Ye Ziyu no longer wished to waste words. She took out her phone from her pocket and dialed 110.
Report... Report to the police?
The supervising teacher was stunned.
Although the people present were all minors, even if the bullying was confirmed, it would only result in verbal reprimands. However, if the police were called, their parents would have to be notified.
The supervising teacher paced back and forth, raising and then lowering her hands.
"Miss Ye, if there's a problem, we'll solve it. Isn't calling the police a bit too extreme?" The supervising teacher was now afraid to speak, worried that any wrong word might displease Ye Ziyu.
At that point, it wouldn't just be calling the police, she might have to summon Ye Shaoting.
Hearing that the police were coming, the other two boys' legs went weak with fear. They were all Kang Kang's followers, and their families were not as wealthy as Kang Kang's.
The incident originally stemmed from Kang Kang's jealousy of Xing Xing consistently ranking first, which led to him being beaten and scolded at home every time. For a long time, being belittled by his family made him resent Xing Xing.
Before the Math Olympiad class activity, during regular classes, Kang Kang had sought out Xing Xing alone. He had offered money to buy a short-term first place, to prove himself to his parents.
Who knew that Xing Xing completely disregarded what he offered. Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Xing Xing left without looking back. It was also because of this that Kang Kang decided to find an opportunity to teach him a lesson.
"What if we deny it all?"
"Do you think that's possible? We have witnesses and evidence, we're finished."
Thinking of the burning sensation of a feather duster on his back, Kang Kang immediately became scared.
He looked at Xing Xing, who was standing calmly in front of him, and then at Ye Ziyu, who was arguing with the supervising teacher for him. Although seemingly an orphan adopted by the Ye family, he was not treated any worse, and in fact, was treated even better.
"Go to hell!"
Kang Kang, as if driven mad, when everyone was talking and not paying attention to him, pushed Xing Xing into the artificial lake behind them.
The lake was not deep, but it was not shallow either. An adult wouldn't drown if they fell in, but a child might not be so lucky.
Hearing the loud splash of water, Ye Ziyu looked back. Seeing Xing Xing's flailing hands on the lake surface, she rushed to the steps in panic.
"Xing Xing, don't struggle!" Ye Ziyu got up, preparing to enter the artificial lake to rescue Xing Xing.
Ye Ziyu was still injured. If she went in like this, both of them might be in trouble.
"Miss Ye, let me do it," said the supervising teacher, her jacket already on the ground.
She walked into the artificial lake, the icy touch spreading from her feet to her heart. Trembling, the supervising teacher approached Xing Xing.
She reached out and grabbed his arm, "Don't move! I'll take you up now."
The water level of the artificial lake was between an adult's neck and chest, but it just covered the heads of the children.
"You can't leave!" Ye Ziyu stopped the children who were trying to escape.
Having done something wrong, they should have the courage to bear the consequences.
Ye Ziyu stood there quietly, her heart pounding. Watching the supervising teacher pull Xing Xing up, she immediately grabbed a towel and ran forward.
All thoughts of the steps were cast aside. Now, Ye Ziyu only prayed for Xing Xing's safety.
The person was pushed in suddenly. In his panic, his body instinctively opened his mouth and flailed his arms for help. During this struggle, he swallowed a lot of dirty water.
The supervising teacher clasped her hands together and pressed down forcefully on his chest. After a few compressions, Xing Xing coughed up water and regained consciousness.
