The smile on Jiang Kai's face faded a little as he said, "I called the police."
Half an hour later, at the police station.
Xu Li and Jiang Kai sat on chairs. Beside them was Wen Fei's mother, who had rushed over after receiving the call. There was also Wu Zhi, the director of the third year of No. 1 High School, and Ren Bo, the form teacher of Grade 12 Class 1.
Wu Zhi and Ren Bo were about the same age. They were both middle-aged men in their forties and were usually very strict with the students. The police called them into the interrogation room in batches to ask about the situation. Not long after, a few police officers came out with transcripts.
Wen Fei's mother's name was Rong Yuhua. She was an uncultured middle-aged woman. In the early years, she divorced Wen Fei's father, who was a gambler. All these years, she had been working part-time to support Wen Fei's studies. Her son was her only support.
Rong Yuhua did not study much and only knew how to earn money. Usually, she would believe whatever Wen Fei said. She had always thought that her son was a good student. After all, the report card he took out every time was very good and he was always in the top ten of the grade. In her heart, Wen Fei would make a name for himself sooner or later. Their lives would also improve, and he would live up to her years of hard work.
Rong Yuhua hugged Wen Fei, whose face was covered in wounds. When she saw the police coming out, she asked anxiously, "Officers, my son won't do such a thing. Is there a mistake? My son is a good student. If you don't believe me, you can ask the teachers…" She had just cried. Her voice was still sobbing. Wen Fei curled up in her arms and didn't say a word.
Wu Zhi and Ren Qi, who were mentioned by Rong Yuhua, did not say a word. They did not expect such a student to appear in the school, and it was even from the top class!
Wu Zhi had always adhered to the principle of educating the heart before teaching the knowledge. Every time there was a year meeting, he would emphasize that one had to be kind and have character. However, when Wen Fei's matter was exposed, it was like a tight slap to his face. His face burned with pain.
The leading police officer flipped through the transcript and said, "I'm sorry, your son did do this. We have sufficient evidence."
Wen Fei's face turned pale and his body trembled. Rong Yuhua, who was still holding on to her hope, understood what was going on. She let go of Wen Fei and knelt down with a thud. "Officers, I beg you. My son is still young. He doesn't know any better. Please give him another chance…" She kowtowed as she spoke. By the time the police reacted and stopped her, her forehead was red.
The police wanted to pull Rong Yuhua up, but Rong Yuhua refused and kept begging.
The police officer said, "Please get up first. We're all doing things according to the law. Under normal procedures, if you can get the victim's letter of understanding, your sentence might not be so heavy."
"Really?" Rong Yuhua's eyes lit up. She quickly got up and pulled Wen Fei's arm. "I'll beg them. I'll beg them now."
A police officer immediately stopped him. "Wen Fei has to stay here."
"Alright, alright…" Rong Yuhua patted Wen Fei's head lovingly and comforted him. "It's alright, son. Nothing will happen. Mommy will definitely obtain their forgiveness. Don't be afraid…"
Wen Fei nodded repeatedly. "Mom, I don't want to go to jail. You have to help me…"
"Don't worry, don't worry…" After Rong Yuhua left, Xu Li secretly nudged Jiang Kai's leg and asked in a low voice, "Do you think Fu Shuo will forgive him?"
Jiang Kai glanced at Xu Li's feet and shook his head. "No."
After a while, Jiang Kai's phone rang. It was a call from Fu Shuo. He picked it up and put it on speaker. "I won't forgive him! I won't forgive him for the rest of my life! Let Wen Fei's mother go back to where she came from! I won't see her!" If Jiang Kai hadn't coincidentally bumped into him, who was about to jump off a building, and interfered in this matter, he would have died now.
Fu Shuo felt that no matter how kind he was, he could not forgive a person who forced him to a dead end and almost killed him. He was very agitated and his eyes were red. He wanted to say something, but Jiang Kai said calmly, "Got it." Then, he hung up.
Fu Shuo was stunned. He swallowed what he wanted to say. He put the phone down from his ear and suddenly smiled. How could he have forgotten that Jiang Kai was like this? He would not patiently listen to him say that he was in so much pain, but he would help when he was at his wits' end.
Outside the door, Wen Fei's mother was still begging bitterly. Fu Shuo glanced at the door coldly.
"Xiao Shuo, who's knocking on the door?" An old voice sounded from the room.
