Chapter 8: The Apology He Waited

At the moment when Wei Zong was sent out, Dr. Wang hugged Wei Zong, and kept reading in his mouth, "It's okay if you're okay, it's okay if you're okay." Finally, after negotiating with Team Xiao, Team Xiao agreed that Dr. Wang would accompany Wei Zong to the police station to deal with the rest of the matter. When Wei Zong was sent out of the school building, the principal and the dean of students were returning from a media conference, and they obviously didn't want to get too involved in the incident. As I passed them, I said loudly in a voice that everyone present could hear: "You owe this child an apology." The headmaster stood there awkwardly, only for a moment, and then he walked away with a straight face. I saw that the light that had just lit up in Wei Zong's eyes dimmed again.

I ran over and grabbed the headmaster by the sleeve and said in a voice that only the two of us could hear, "You'd better apologize to this kid, or I don't know I'll be going out in a moment to say something to the tabloid reporters who are waiting for me to hear something." Don't forget, I followed up on this case from start to finish. ”

The headmaster glared at me and shook my hand away viciously. I glanced at Wei Zong apologetically, but I couldn't talk to him through the police.

"Let's have a press conference. Explain what we know today to the media, and also have an explanation for this child's future. ”

I thought Team Xiao would block it, but Team Xiao just chimed in: "Okay." When the child gets in the car, we will organize a press conference to close the case directly at the school. Get them in the car first. ”

"I'll definitely help you." I shouted at Wei Zong's back, you must believe me.

Watching the police car drive away, I took the microphone and walked to the podium in the playground.

"Friends from the media." My voice came from McKee.

"Hello everyone! I am Zhu Xiaozhi, who has just participated in this negotiation. Now I'm just trying to get justice for a child from a personal standpoint. Three days ago, my colleague and I were asked to help a friend investigate the disappearance of a child who was only a neighbor of the child. He said that the child's personality has changed since he entered puberty, and at first we all thought it was just a teenager's adolescent rebellion. But it wasn't until we started digging deeper into the matter that I realized we were oversimplifying. This child is not running away from school, but from the whole world, a world of prejudice, indifference and violence made up by sanctimonious adults. ”

With that said, I looked around and saw that everyone was focused on the podium, and they were expecting me to tell the truth.

"It took us four hours from the time we were notified in the morning to the time the child was taken out of the classroom; But in order to investigate the reason for the child's departure, we spent almost 24 hours; And to hurt this child, it took the adults here a full 17,520 hours. For two years, the child endured verbal, mental, and ** violence every day. As soon as I said this, the media below was in an uproar, but at this time, my microphone suddenly lost his voice.

A police officer gave me a loudspeaker, loud but able to reach the ears of everyone who stopped and listened now: "How would you feel if your child was defined as a fool just because of bad grades?" What would you think if your child was bullied by a child of the same age just because he was not good at socializing with others? Similarly, if your child is threatened with a knife, and the teacher never protects your child, but walks past him indifferently, will you be angry and sad after you know it? These are the things that Wei Zong experiences every day. If the same thing happened to your own children or family members, would you still think that it was just a child who couldn't express his feelings and suddenly lost control? ”

No one responded to me, just a 'click', 'click' shutter sound.

"All of this child's actions today are revenge for what he had suffered before. He had experienced violence, so he learned to fight violence with violence. He did the wrong things, but these wrong expressions were because no one had taught him the right way to express them, and it was the adults here who gave up on him first. We always say resist school violence, but how much of the reason for real school violence is that adults should be responsible for, in addition to the fact that children in the rebellious period are unable to control their aggressive behavior? Adult indifference is a tacit acquiescence to these children who are involved in school violence. When a child can no longer feel the warmth around him, his only recourse is to resist the harm of violence by using the cover of 'I don't care about anything'. A child like Wei Zong, these ostensible beings, when the unknown violence inflicted on him reached its tipping point, he began to choose to destroy the life that threatened him. But all of Wei Zong's actions were just a bluff, and he wanted this person to apologize before releasing the hostages, and he regretted hurting him. I paused, "This hostage used to rob him with a knife and a fist in the classroom. Because there are surveillance footage and witnesses, this is a fact that every teacher cannot deny. Therefore, all of Wei Zong's appearances are just covering up his disappointment and fear of the world in a negative way. ”

I felt the world spin a little before my eyes, and I suppressed my physical discomfort and continued to say on the megaphone, "Wei Zong will accept the punishment he deserves. Because he was wrong, I couldn't intercede for him, and he was responsible for his impulsiveness. But those who hurt him owe him an apology. He's not a fool. "My eyes were getting darker and darker, and when I finished the last word, I fainted in front of my eyes.

When I woke up again, I was lying in a hospital bed with my dad sitting next to me.

"You're awake." Dad breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm scared to death, I was still watching you make a declaration against school violence on TV, and you suddenly fainted." If someone hadn't seen that you were wrong and went up and hugged you, I guess the back of your head would have blossomed. ”

I grinned.

"Still laughing!" Dad twisted my nose slightly, "Do you know how scary it was?" ”

"Am I fine?" I leaned over my father's arm.

"What an adult, still coquettish." Although the tone was quite disgusting, I could still hear that he was full of concern.

"Thank you, Dad."

"Why do you say that all of a sudden? Isn't it really hard to get your head struck? So saying, he lifted me up and looked left and right.

"It's nothing, it's just that after going through this incident, I suddenly found myself very happy."

"Is it because of this case?" Dad asked me.

"Not only did I think about this case, but I always felt that I was very lucky to be liked and cared for by the people around me." I looked at my dad.

"But that kid is really pitiful."

"Yes, but Li Jing and I promised him that we would definitely help him." I suddenly found that there was no Li Jing in the house, "By the way, Dad, where did Li Jing go?" ”

"He and Team Xiao have returned to the police station, and they should be dealing with the follow-up of that child." My dad tapped my head with his finger again, "I'll find a boyfriend when I wake up." ”

"He's not my boyfriend." I'm in the right way.

"Still thinking about him?" Dad asked me.

I didn't look at him: "No." By the way, I'm fine, I still have to go see the kid. ”

"Come on, you, give me a good night's rest here, and let me go home honestly when I am discharged from the hospital tomorrow. The doctor said you had low blood sugar, and you just ran around. Don't go anywhere until you're ready. "Dad just held me down.

After grinding for a long time, I got the opportunity to talk to Li Jing, and after confirming that Wei Zong and Dr. Wang were normal, I was truly at ease.

"Don't keep thinking about the past, it's over. Didn't Dad teach you? People, you have to be able to take it and put it down. No one will walk with you for the rest of your life. It's been so long, and you've got to see it. "Dad started to lecture me again, and then there was a shouting of the cooking aunt outside the door.

"You sit honestly on the bed, and I'll go and cook for you."

I looked at my father's back as he went out, and to be honest, I understood everything he just said, but it would take time to really let go of me, it only took a second to be cut, but it would take a long time for the wound to heal and the scar to fade. I need time, Li Jing needs it, and so does Wei Zong.

A week later, I was really released from the family, and the first thing I did was to make an appointment with Li Jing to go to Dr. Wang's house. Because of the big press conference I made before, the public opinion of the media unanimously turned to the school. In order to settle the matter as much as possible, and finally the two sides reconciled, so Wei Zong was not transferred to the juvenile court. Wei Zong temporarily stayed at Dr. Wang's house, and was very happy to see us in the past, but he still didn't speak with a shy face. During the meal, I chatted with Dr. Wang about Wei Zong's future future.

"We're moving, and the hospital has a medical project in another province that I need to go to. Practice it for me today. Dr. Wang raised his glass.

"You're moving? What about Xiao Weizong? "If you all move away, Wei Zong will be alone again. I looked at Wei Zong worriedly, but Wei Zong was still quite happy to rush to eat chicken wings with the son of Dr. Wang's family.

"You two have a bite to eat." Dr. Wang said to the two children, "I'll take them both with me." It just happened to change the environment for Wei Zong. ”

"But Wei Zong?" He still has a guardian, huh? I didn't say the second half of the sentence.

"I got together with him to discuss it, and now we are going through the adoption process. That is, adding a pair of chopsticks. His parents left him an inheritance, but he could not receive it until he was eighteen years old, and he left it until he decided what to do with it later. Dr. Wang smiled innocently.

"Doctor Wang, you are so nice. Your wife's craftsmanship is also very good, and the dishes are very delicious. "I think Xiao Weizong finally waited for the person who was waiting for his flowers to bloom, right? I looked at Li Jing, who smiled and stroked my head.

"Hey, who told me to live next door, my surname is Wang." Dr. Wang scratched the back of his head.

"Poof." Li Jing and I laughed directly on the table.
