âWe did drive here especially, but weâre not here to beat up your students. Weâre here to protect our friends,â said Tan Rou.
The counsellor felt that they were not good people, so he said, âWhere are you from? Why are you causing trouble at our school gate?â
âCapital University.â Tan Rou said calmly, âWeâre all from Capital University.â The counsellor didnât believe that the students of New York University would only come to the entrance of their second-tier university to cause trouble. âWhat nonsense are you talking about? If you donât leave now, Iâm going to call the police!â the counsellor warned.
âThis is our student ID card and smart card.â Jiang Min and the others had their identification documents with them. âIf you donât believe me, you can take it to the official website to check. Iâm Jiang Min, a second-year PhD student at Capital University.â
All the students took out the things that could prove their identity. This time, it was the counsellorâs turn to be confused. Capital University was the best university in the country. Why would students from there come here? Could there be some misunderstanding?
âThis student, is there some misunderstanding between the two of you?â The counsellorâs tone became very friendly.
âLet me tell you what happened. Itâs up to you to judge whether thereâs a misunderstanding.â Tan Rou said.
She told the whole story. The more the counsellor listened, the uglier her expression became. When she heard that the students in her class wanted Liang Lu to get out of school, she was furious.
âWhat right do you have to kick someone out of our school?â The counsellor was very angry. âYouâre all just university students. Donât you know that bullying students is illegal? There are so many people on the Internet who have lost their lives because of rumours. Canât you see that?â
Those students were already very regretful after knowing that they had been used. After being scolded by the counsellor, they felt even more ashamed.
âCounselor, Iâm sorry. We really didnât do it on purpose.â The students collectively apologized to the counsellor.
âWhy are you apologizing to me?â The counsellor was a hot-tempered older sister. She pointed at the students and said, âYou should apologize to Liang Lu, who was hurt by you!â
âCall the police!â Tan Rou said lightly, âLiang Lu was beaten up so badly. Is an apology enough?â
Liang Lu limped over to the counselor and whispered, âSorry, counselor. Itâs so late, and I made you come all the way here.â
The sky was a little dark. The counselor had not seen Liang Luâs injuries just now. When she got closer, she realized how serious Liang Luâs injuries were. Moreover, some of the scars had already scabbed over. It was obvious that they were not from today.
âWho injured you?â The counselor was very surprised. âHow did you get hurt so badly?â
Liang Lu looked at Zhang Xue and said, âIt was Zhang Xue who brought people to beat me. There were several of them, and I was alone. I couldnât stop them at all. They have weapons on them. My leg was hit by them with a stick.â âCounselor, I didnât hit her. It was someone else who did it!â Zhang Xue argued. âThen tell me, who was the one who did it?â the counselor asked.
Zhang Xue stammered for a long time, unable to say who it was. The trust was that the most serious injuries on Liang Luâs body were all inflicted by her. She had suffered a loss at Liang Luâs hands the last time and had always held a grudge in her heart. When she found an opportunity, she gave Liang Lu a good beating.
The counselor looked at her expression and knew that she couldnât say anything. âSince you canât say anything, I can only hand you over to the school.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âNo, we have to call the police. We must get to the bottom of the matter regarding Zhang Xue spreading rumors on the Internet to slander Liang Lu and beat her up,â Tan Rou insisted.
The counselor was in a difficult position. Both sides were her students. No matter how she dealt with it, she could only care about one side.
Hence, she gave the right to choose Liang Lu. âLiang Lu, what do you think?â
âIâ¦â Liang Lu hesitated.
At this moment, Zhang Xue ran to Liang Lu and cried, âLiang Lu, everything that happened in the past was a misunderstanding. I apologize to you, okay? Please donât call the police!â
Lu Qing stood behind Liang Lu and said to her âDonât worry. No matter what choice you make, I⦠We will support you..â
