After Xu Yingying heard Teacher Chen's apology, her previous bad emotions gradually dissipated, and instead she felt that she could ask Teacher Chen to help her open the Pandora's box of the heroine in the original book.

Xu Yingying listened quietly as Teacher Chen continued speaking.

"I should have believed my students instead of ignoring their requests for help because of my momentary prejudice." Teacher Chen's voice was a little low, but full of sincerity.

Xu Yingying raised her head and looked into Teacher Chen's eyes, which were gleaming with tears. She could feel Teacher Chen's sincerity and understood his self-blame at this moment.

"Teacher Chen, I accept your apology. In fact, I have problems too. I should report to you in time when encountering problems. I am too timid and worried about this and that. I dare not talk to you directly. In the future, when I encounter problems, I will bravely express my ideas, so that we can communicate better and effectively solve problems." Xu Yingying responded with a smile.

Teacher Chen nodded in agreement. Suddenly, he felt that Xu Yingying's words were very sensible, as if she had grown up a lot after going through a lot of things. Teacher Chen was moved and gently patted her shoulder and said, "Thank you, Xu Yingying. Your tolerance and understanding make me deeply comforted. But I want to say that it is not a problem of your timidity. It is indeed that I have not done my job as a teacher well. You are still young, and it is normal to be afraid when encountering things. No matter how you express your feelings, as a teacher, I should take it seriously. From today on, I will pay more attention to the growth of each student and strive to become a teacher who is more worthy of your trust."

After hearing this, Xu Yingying felt a surge of warmth in her heart, and her eyes moistened slightly. She felt that this was the original feeling of the heroine in the original book. She raised her head, looked at Teacher Chen with a firm gaze, and said softly, "Thank you, Teacher Chen. However, I have another question."

Teacher Chen smiled and nodded, motioning Xu Yingying to continue.

Xu Yingying took a deep breath, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, and she asked cautiously: "Now that you know that the weekly diary I wrote is true, will you help me to seek justice?"

Teacher Chen was slightly taken aback, a trace of guilt rising in his heart. He sighed softly, looked at Xu Yingying sincerely, and asked in a sincere tone, "Of course, but this matter still needs to be thoroughly investigated first. Now that your parents are here, can you tell us specifically what happened?"

Hearing Teacher Chen's sincere words, Xu Yingying's originally tense face finally relaxed slowly and revealed a relieved smile.

Xu Yingying communicated with Xiaowu for a long time: "Xiaowu, if I tell you now, will it help us with our mission?"

"Host, since this is your first mission, a lot of my data is still in its initialization state and needs to be updated after the relevant data is available. So I suggest that you give it a try."

"Xiao Wu, why do I feel like you want me to test the poison on myself?"

"Host, your description is not quite right. I just suggest that you try more."

Xu Yingying considered Xiaowu's suggestions, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly spoke, "It was yesterday morning during the break between the second classes. I had just finished physical education and was about to return to the classroom when someone suddenly grabbed me from behind and slapped me. Actually... I don't remember what they looked like. Two of them were holding me down, one on each side, and the one who slapped me was facing away from me, so I couldn't see clearly. After that, they left before I could react! I only know that they were three girls."

Teacher Chen frowned slightly and asked, "So you didn't see them clearly? Or did you see any characteristics that could help us find them?"

Xu Yingying frowned as she recalled it, but ultimately shook her head, indicating that she could not provide any more information.

Teacher Chen nodded and continued, "Anything else? For example, why did they hit you?"

"I don't know. I don't know them at all."

Xu Yingying thought for a moment and continued, "The one who asked me for protection money was Yuan Xiaoling from my class. After the third period yesterday, she said I owed her money, but I never borrowed money from her. I don't know if this was protection money. But she finally told me to be careful after school, but nothing happened to me yesterday after school."

Hearing this, Teacher Chen was a little confused. He turned his gaze to Xu Yingying and asked, "Yuan Xiaoling?"

Xu Yingying nodded vigorously, a hint of grievance flashed in her eyes, and she seemed to be full of fear of this name.

"But today, my bicycle suddenly had a flat tire. I don't know why, because it was fine when I rode it to school this morning."

Xu Yingying suddenly felt that her bike's breakdown might not have been an accident. "Xiaowu, could Yuan Xiaoling have something to do with my front tire flat?"

"Host, this possibility cannot be ruled out. If it was caused by human factors, then Yuan Xiaoling is indeed the most likely suspect."

Since Xiaowu had said so, Xu Yingying decided to report the matter to Teacher Chen. After Teacher Chen reported the matter to the school, the school would then decide how to proceed based on the results of the investigation.

Teacher Chen felt a surge of worry. He realized this issue might be more complicated than he'd imagined, requiring further understanding. He frowned, pondering how to approach this thorny problem.

Xu Xiaofeng, who had been listening to Xu Yingying and Teacher Chen's conversation, finally couldn't sit still anymore. Her face turned gloomy, and a trace of anger and dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes.

"Is this Yuan Xiaoling your classmate? How can she collect protection fees at such a young age? Who does she think she is?" Xu Xiaofeng said to the two of them angrily.

Her voice was filled with obvious anger, as if she wanted to vent all the dissatisfaction in her heart.

After noticing the negative emotions of Xu Yingying's parents, Teacher Chen quickly comforted Xu Xiaofeng and said, "Yingying's parents, please don't worry. The matter has not been fully investigated yet. The school will definitely investigate the situation thoroughly and will never let your child suffer any injustice or bullying."

Xu Xiaofeng frowned and responded anxiously, "I understand the school will handle this matter, but as a parent, I feel really bad that my daughter Yingying is being bullied like this!" As she spoke, her eyes began to redden and tears rolled down her cheeks.

Seeing this scene, Teacher Chen couldn't help but feel sad. He quickly walked to Xu Xiaofeng, patted her shoulder gently, and comforted her: "Don't worry, we will definitely take this matter seriously."
