Wen Wei looked at Lin Cui blankly, unsure of what the other woman wanted to say. She was currently feeling flustered and didn't know what to do.
"I don't know, please enlighten me, Director."
Lin Cui poured herself a glass of goji berry water. She was now very health-conscious, wanting to maintain her appearance and elegance to attract her man. After all, Zhao An preferred beautiful, intelligent, and sophisticated mature women, not the bulky, middle-aged women who only knew how to pick their toes. Mature women and middle-aged women were two completely different groups.
"Our priority is to ensure the students' normal physical and mental development. Management is only a necessary means, not the primary one. Understanding the origin of the matter, understanding the truth, is the only way to ensure a satisfactory resolution. If you don't even understand the problem yourself, how can you know how to solve it?"
"I understand, thank you for your guidance, Director." Wen Wei was preoccupied with dealing with her son's situation. If he were really accused of rape, it would be a serious matter!
Lin Cui already knew what was going on; she was deliberately dragging her feet. Yu Shou picked up the folder and said, "A friend of mine told me that your son got into trouble. If this isn't handled properly, it will affect the school's reputation. In the past, we've always dealt with such matters immediately to prevent teachers from affecting the school due to personal relationships. You took leave to deal with your son's situation, right? Are you confident?"
Wen Wei was startled by the question. She hadn't expected Lin Cui to know, and stammered, "I...I didn't know. I didn't know that brat would be so bold. Director, I'm sorry, I will definitely handle it well. Please give me..." "Give me some time. Give me some time."
Lin Cui said in a cold tone, "I'm giving you one afternoon. If you can't handle this well, don't blame me for being impolite. If you need help, you can call me. We strictly follow regulations in official matters, but privately, you can ask for help. If I can't help you, the principal can, and if the principal can't help, there are others who can. Go, handle this quickly, and then come back to class."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Director." Wen Wei was somewhat apprehensive. If she didn't handle this well, she might really be fired. The Second Middle School had excellent benefits, not because of high salaries, but because of Zhao An's investment, so the benefits were quite good, including shopping cards. And recently, salaries had been steadily increasing; being a teacher was indeed a good job.
Dazed and confused, Wen Wei drove to the police station, accidentally hitting another car on the way. Getting out, she saw it was just a minor scratch.
However, the male driver was relentless, insisting on having the insurance company come and calling the traffic police. They demanded 10,000 yuan in compensation, which was completely unnecessary; it was just a minor scratch. It was blatant extortion.
Wen Wei was utterly exhausted. She never imagined this was a deliberate scheme, designed to break her spirit. They'd created countless problems for her along the way, leaving her emotionally drained, ultimately forcing her to desperately seek help and sell herself.
Just then, another phone call came, urging her to deal with their son's situation immediately. Wen Wei had no choice but to pay the money before she could leave. Otherwise, who knew how long this would drag on? Even if it meant paying to avoid further trouble, it was still a way to settle things. Finally arriving at the police station, she found her husband also detained. The company had submitted evidence convicting him of accepting bribes, and he was now in detention. If he paid, the charges would be dropped; if not, he would be prosecuted.
However, even if the charges were dropped, Yang Lin would still face a year of detention—there was no escaping it. If he was prosecuted, it would likely be at least seven years—a fundamental difference.
Upon hearing this devastating news, Wen Wei was completely devastated. She was even somewhat mentally unstable; she couldn't understand how her once harmonious family had turned out this way. The more difficult the situation, the more she needed to muster her courage and pull herself together.
After seeing her son, Wen Wei was furious with him for his lack of self-control, constantly scolding him. Seeing her son's pitiful state, Wen Wei had no choice but to go to the woman involved, seeking reconciliation.
After watching the video, Wen Wei felt something was amiss. The woman who had been molested, despite her unwillingness, hadn't resisted when the first man was assaulting her, choosing instead to endure it silently. But the same thing happened with her son; only later, when things escalated to the point of rape, the woman suddenly shouted to attract attention, resulting in her son, Yang Tao, being exposed in public. Everyone in the carriage saw him pull down his pants, creating a massive, shocking scene.
"Ms. Zhou, hello, I'm Wen Wei, Yang Tao's mother. I'm very sorry about what happened to my son. I apologize to you, please forgive him. I wanted to ask why you didn't report a man who also molested you before?" Wen Wei found the person in question, a woman smoking, dressed provocatively, clearly not a respectable woman.
Ms. Zhou scoffed, exhaling smoke rings, which made Wen Wei frown in disgust. "Are you crazy? Do I need to explain what your son did? That man is my husband. We like to do this, what's it to you?"
This left Wen Wei speechless, unsure what to say. Yes, they were a married couple. While this might be immoral, it wasn't illegal. It wasn't like a married couple couldn't engage in such lewd behavior on a bus, was it? This made it seem like her son had deliberately molested a woman.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I didn't know about this. Please forgive Xiao Tao, he's still a student, please forgive him, he has a bright future ahead of him. We will try our best to make it up to you, he has already received the punishment he deserves."
