Chapter 67: Chapter 67 Apology
She didn’t look at the two of them but turned toward the teacher from the office of security and said, “If this is the attitude the school is taking, I think I have nothing more to say. Let’s just call the police then. Letting the air out of tires, leaving threatening messages—this must count as school bullying, right? I suppose the police will know how to handle this.”
Since the school couldn’t handle it properly, it was time to find someone who could.
The color drained slightly from the faces of the two girls, but thinking of something, they quickly recovered and said, “Go ahead if you want, we don’t believe the police will do anything to us!”
“Exactly, we’re not afraid of you!” It was just a prank after all, and since they were not yet fourteen years old, at most the police would just give them a verbal warning. They weren’t scared at all.
They might not have been afraid, but the security office teacher’s face suddenly became stiff.
Even the female teacher who had been silent up until now changed her expression and spoke, “Shen Zhaozhao, we can discuss this calmly. I am their homeroom teacher, and it is true that what they did was wrong. I will surely scold them severely later.”
If they really called the police, the situation would blow up. If rumors of school bullying spread, it would certainly cause panic among parents and damage the school’s reputation.
If the incident escalated because they hadn’t handled it well, the principal would definitely hold them accountable afterward.
The security office teacher, who had initially planned to downplay the incident, also softened his tone and said, “Teacher Zeng is right, the school can handle this matter, no need to call the police. Rest assured, the school will deal with this seriously and make sure to satisfy you.”
“Yes,” Zeng Qianqian nodded in agreement, “As their homeroom teacher, I also bear responsibility for not managing our students well. I assure you, such an incident will absolutely not happen again. However, calling it school bullying is a bit too severe; it was mostly a prank. Of course, a wrong is a wrong, and making them apologize is appropriate.”
She then glared fiercely at the two troublemaking girls and told them, “You two must write a reflection later, and additionally, during the school meeting on Monday, you must apologize to Shen Zhaozhao in front of all the students.”
One of the girls, feeling indignant, wanted to say something but was met with a fierce glare from Zeng Qianqian, “Shut up! I will deal with you two later.”
Seeing that she was genuinely angry, the girl reluctantly pouted and stayed silent.
As they left the office, the two girls threatened Shen Zhaozhao, “You just wait, we won’t let this go just like that.”
“Yeah, you just wait!”
“What do you want to do to her?” Suddenly, a cold voice spoke up.
There stood Sheng Chuyi by the entrance of the security office, it seemed he had heard everything the two girls had said. The girls’ faces immediately changed.
“Chuyi, we didn’t mean to do anything.”
“Exactly, it was just a joke, we didn’t really intend to do anything to her.”
The two hurriedly explained.
They were not afraid of teachers, not afraid of parents, but they were afraid of tarnishing their image in the eyes of Sheng Chuyi.
“Apologize!” Sheng Chuyi said coldly.
The expressions of the two girls stiffened for a moment, then reluctantly they turned to Shen Zhaozhao and said, “Sorry!” After speaking, the two of them bit their lower lips, glanced stealthily at Sheng Chuyi, and then left in disgrace.
