"Officer Wu!"
Qin Tian called out.
After the two police officers and Director Liu heard the call, they walked straight towards them.
Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan stood up to greet them.
"Classmate Qin Tian, Classmate Xia Nuannuan, there are private rooms upstairs. Let's move to a different location to eat and chat!"
Director Liu made a gentle suggestion with a smile.
Qin Tian also guessed the intention of this school leader and nodded in agreement.
Thus, the group went up to the second floor and entered a private room.
Under Director Liu's arrangement, the cafeteria staff quickly brought several dishes and bowls of rice.
Since Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan had already eaten, they just picked up their chopsticks and ate some dishes.
"Classmate Qin Tian, Officer Wu has already told me the general situation of the matter."
After taking a few bites of food, Director Liu opened the conversation.
Qin Tian glanced at Officer Wu, who was shoveling rice into his mouth with his bowl, and asked Director Liu, "Have they found the perpetrator? Is it a student from the Civil Engineering department?"
"You've already guessed it?"
Director Liu showed a look of surprise.
"Otherwise, you wouldn't have come. Besides, after my friends and I organized our thoughts, we already have a suspected target in mind."
Qin Tian said earnestly.
"Can you tell us your guess?"
The young female police officer became interested, looking at him with bright eyes.
"There is a male student in the first year of the Civil Engineering department, surnamed Ma. I won't say his name. When new students registered, he pestered my girlfriend and later said some sour things targeting me."
Qin Tian said calmly.
The two police officers and Director Liu exchanged glances, all showing an expression of "as expected."
Clearly, they had also guessed the reason.
"Your guess is correct. We checked the nearby surveillance cameras in the security room. One of the cameras captured a front view of this student named Ma Feiyang. He was only two hundred meters away from the scene of the crime, and the timing is also right. Coupled with this motive, the evidence is sufficient."
Officer Wu swallowed the food in his mouth and reported the investigation results.
Qin Tian nodded calmly.
"Officer Wu, how will this matter be handled?"
Xia Nuannuan suddenly asked.
Several people looked at her with some surprise.
"That depends on what you two say. If you agree to an out-of-court settlement, then according to legal procedures, he will definitely be held criminally responsible."
The female police officer answered.
Xia Nuannuan looked at Director Liu and hesitated to speak.
"Classmate Qin Tian, Classmate Xia Nuannuan."
Director Liu put down his chopsticks and slowly said, "I know this is unfair to you, but since I'm here, you should have guessed what I'm going to say. I hope you can help me and not escalate this matter further."
"As you all know, many students in the school are paying attention to this matter. If it continues, it will have a very negative impact on the school's reputation."
"Of course, Ma Feiyang made a mistake and will have to bear the consequences. I will have him come over to apologize and admit his mistake, and compensate you for your losses as much as possible."
"However, I hope this matter can be dropped. Although Ma Feiyang is at fault, no one is perfect. I don't want to ruin a student's future because of such a mistake!"
"Think about it, if the entire school knew he did this, how could he continue to stay in school? I've checked his records. He is the only son of an ordinary family, and his parents are ordinary office workers. The hope of a family rests on him!"
"You are all seniors, please forgive him this once. It won't happen again!"
After listening to Director Liu's words, Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan fell into a brief silence.
The two police officers ate their food, waiting quietly.
"Nuannuan, you decide!"
Qin Tian said to Xia Nuannuan beside him.
Xia Nuannuan did not shirk the responsibility. She nodded slightly and looked at Director Liu, saying, "Director Liu, we can accept your proposal, but I have one condition."
"You say it!"
Director Liu immediately nodded.
"Before, because of me, he said a lot of bad things about Brother Tian. I demand that after he admits his mistake and apologizes, no more bad words targeting Brother Tian should come from him."
Xia Nuannuan stated the condition solemnly.
"That is of course. I personally guarantee that if such a thing happens again, I will give him a major demerit and a public reprimand!"
Director Liu solemnly assured.
"Also, the cost of repairing the car must be fully compensated by him. Brother Tian earned the money to buy the car himself. He can take on part-time jobs and repay us before he graduates from college. We don't need interest. As much as it costs to repair the car, he just needs to compensate that amount."
Xia Nuannuan added.
"Agreed, that's only right!"
Director Liu nodded in agreement.
"Then I have no objections."
"Classmate Qin Tian, what about you?"
"What Nuannuan said is what I want to say."
Qin Tian replied with a smile.
"Then it's decided."
Director Liu smiled.
"Director Liu, have you considered what if he doesn't agree?"
Qin Tian suddenly asked again.
"If he doesn't agree? Then things will proceed as they should. I am only doing what an educator should do. If he refuses to repent, then there's nothing I can do."
...
...
After leaving the cafeteria, Qin Tian and the others followed Director Liu all the way to his office.
On the way, Director Liu had already called the counselor of Ma Feiyang's class, asking him to bring the person to the office.
Upon arriving at the office, Director Liu invited the four of them to sit down and poured them tea.
The young female police officer was probably single, and she was very interested in their dating experience. While drinking tea, she chatted and laughed with Xia Nuannuan.
After about ten minutes, hurried footsteps were heard from outside the office.
Everyone's gaze turned, and they saw a man standing at the office door with a boy whose head was hanging low.
"Director Liu!"
The man, about to knock, lowered his hand and greeted Director Liu somewhat nervously.
"Come in, and close the door."
Director Liu said with a stern face.
"Yes!"
The man quickly nodded, pulled Ma Feiyang, who was behind him, into the office, and closed the door.
Qin Tian and the others could see that Ma Feiyang, with his head buried, had trembling legs.
"Director, classmates, officers, it is my dereliction of duty as a counselor. I am truly sorry."
The man directly bowed and apologized to everyone.
Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan did not know this counselor and didn't know what to say.
"Alright, what's the use of your apology? Bring Ma Feiyang over!"
Director Liu commanded with a stern face.
Upon hearing this, Ma Feiyang shuddered and buried his head even lower.
The man pulled Ma Feiyang to Director Liu's desk and stood there obediently.
"Ma Feiyang, do you admit your mistake?"
Director Liu asked sternly.
"I... I was wrong, Director, I know I was wrong, I'm sorry!"
Ma Feiyang admitted his mistake and apologized with a trembling voice and a choked sob.
