"Miss Ye, you've finally arrived. Shen Ziche only transferred to our school a few days ago and has already beaten up several students. Please handle this matter." The dean of students looked at Ye Wan with a stern expression.
"How should it be handled? Expulsion, he must be expelled! And he needs to compensate our child for emotional distress!"
"Just expulsion isn't enough. This fighting is a crime. Let him go to jail!"
"Look at our child's face, it's disfigured. What do you say to that? If you don't pay fifty thousand, you're not leaving!"
"If our child is left with any psychological trauma, I'll sue you and send you to jail!"
"Young people these days don't learn to behave. I think the adults at home aren't much better either. Let's call the police!"
Ye Wan looked at these people with some surprise. She had seen many instances of bullying by numbers since childhood, but this was the first time she had seen it so brazenly in school.
"Miss Ye, what do you think we should do? The parents are very angry. If you can't handle this properly, I'll have to ask Shen Ziche to withdraw from school." The dean of students, seeing that Ye Wan was just a young girl, assumed she would be easy to manipulate and tried to intimidate her.
Ye Wan remained unfazed, listening calmly. After everyone had finished speaking, she opened her mouth, "Are you done? If you're done, I'd like to say a few words. A total of six students were involved in the fight. Why is only our Shen Ziche standing outside?"
She directed this question to the dean of students. Hearing Ye Wan refer to him as "hers," Shen Ziche felt a ripple in his heart, and his gaze towards her became more fervent.
The dean of students was taken aback. He hadn't expected Ye Wan to apologize to these parents; instead, she was questioning him.
"Miss Ye, are you mistaken..."
"You are mistaken. If six students were fighting together, they should all stand outside together. Punishing only Shen Ziche alone shows your unfairness as dean of students. If you can't do your job, then don't do it!" Ye Wan said coldly.
"Oh, this little girl has quite a temper! Let me tell you, this is not a place for you to run wild. Now, have this little bastard apologize to my son and pay fifty thousand, and we'll let this matter go. Otherwise, I'll call the police immediately!" a well-dressed parent said domineeringly.
"No need. Call the police. Although they are all students, they are almost all adults now, aren't they? They can be held legally responsible," Ye Wan said indifferently.
This parent thought he had misheard and cautiously cupped his ear, "Did I hear that right? The one who hit people wants to call the police?"
Ye Wan's gaze swept over the other four parents. Indeed, some of their eyes began to flicker. Ye Wan knew that not everyone here was ignorant of the law. She grabbed Shen Ziche's arm and pulled him forward in front of everyone.
"Anyone with eyes can see that Shen Ziche is the most severely injured among these six students. Five people beating one person, even if it happened on campus, constitutes the crime of assembling a mob for fighting. I will take Shen Ziche for a medical examination now. If his injuries reach the level of minor injury or above, the five of them will bear criminal responsibility and face imprisonment of not more than three years!"
Ye Wan's voice was clear and cool, yet her words carried immense weight. These people had seen Shen Ziche as a transfer student and Ye Wan as young, intending to extort them. However, Ye Wan was an outstanding student from Jingda University and possessed basic legal knowledge.
