Landlady who likes to hoard land

"Sis, he said it doesn't hurt anymore and he's back to school today."

"How's your review of the surveillance footage going?"

Wang Chengqing sat to one side, his face ashen, lost in thought.

"The school initially refused to let us see it, but Jiang Hu insisted on it before they finally agreed to let us see it."

Jiang Hu recorded the scene when they were watching it, but they wouldn't let them record. Jiang Hu said he would call the police if they didn't let them watch, and only then did they allow them to record a short segment.

"Send me the video," Wang Chengyu said hurriedly.

Wang Chengqing took out his phone and sent the message to Wang Chengyu, who then opened and viewed it.

Wang Chengqing continued, "From the video, it is clear that the other party paused for a moment, but the angle was very clever, as if he was sprinting and his steps were unsteady, which is why he accidentally tripped Jiang Hua."

We met the kid too. He insisted that he was sprinting normally, arguing that he didn't have eyes in the back of his head and had no idea Jiang Hua was going to overtake him.

Wang Chengyu watched the video carefully. From the angle of the video, it was indeed difficult to tell. Apart from the fact that the other party paused for a moment, the other reactions seemed to be normal.

Just because the other party paused for a moment is not enough to determine that they did it intentionally.

"Jiang Hu has a classmate who is a lawyer. He asked his classmate for advice, and his classmate said that in this situation, neither reporting to the police nor going to court would yield a better result."

Because video footage alone cannot provide useful evidence.

Wang Chengqing was in great pain, for Jiang Hua, and troubled and worried about the truth of the matter.

"What did the school say?"

"The school has student accident insurance and school liability insurance. Apart from these, no other liability can be pursued."

"The final result is just to accept your bad luck?" Wang Chengyu asked incredulously.

"That's roughly how it is. There's insufficient evidence. Even if it's proven that the other party acted intentionally and that they are a minor, the outcome will only be criticism and education, compensation for medical expenses, and they won't receive any serious punishment."

At this point, Wang Chengqing covered his face with his hands, tears streaming down his face.

She dared not cry in front of Jiang Hua. She had been busy all day and had no time to be sad or upset. Now that she had some free time, she could no longer suppress her feelings of sadness and frustration, and they all rushed up at once.

"Sister, we don't want compensation, nor do we want to hold anyone responsible. I just want Jiang Hua to get better soon."

What are we going to do about Jiang Hua? There's only one month left until the physical education exam, and he won't even be able to get his cast off yet. How is he going to take the exam?

Physical education is scored out of 60 points; even one point can put you down by two or three hundred places!

Their homeroom teacher said they could apply for exemption from the exam, but the exemption would only grant them 60% of the total score, which is 36 points. Jiang Hua could have gotten a perfect score, so that's a full 24 points short! Isn't that incredibly frustrating?!

Overwhelmed with grief, Wang Chengqing finally burst into tears.

Wang Chengyu handed her a tissue and sat quietly to the side, letting her vent her emotions.

"Jiang Hua must be under so much pressure! How much pain must he be in? I feel so bad for him!"

Not only is physical education affected, but the upcoming exams will cover experiments and information technology. How will I manage with only one hand? This will cost me a lot of points!

Wang Chengqing clutched her clothes at her chest, feeling helpless and lost, and cried until her voice was hoarse.

In the crucial middle school entrance exam where students are streamed 50/50, Jiang Hua got injured at just the right moment.

A top-tier high school means you're one step closer to a top-tier university.

With such a large score difference, it seems there's no hope of getting into a top high school.

The overwhelming emotions of heartache and anxiety were suffocating her.

Wang Chengyu stroked her back to comfort her, pouring out his spiritual energy to silently soothe her meridians.

Half an hour later, Wang Chengqing's emotions gradually stabilized.

Wang Chengyu said earnestly.

“After Jiang Hua gets off work, bring him to the shop. I will help him with the procedure. Trust me, I guarantee he can take the physical education exam smoothly. But this must be kept secret. Even if his injury heals, the cast cannot be removed too early.”

"Really... is... hiccup... okay?" Wang Chengqing was sobbing that he couldn't catch his breath and asked through hiccups.

“If I say it’s okay, then it’s okay.” Wang Chengyu looked at her firmly.

As Wang Chengqing's mind gradually cleared, he thought of the series of miraculous things that had happened to his eldest sister and nodded decisively, "Sister, I believe you!"

"So Li Yi just let him go like that?"

Wang Chengqing was unwilling to accept it, and she couldn't be sure whether the other party had really tripped Jiang Hua on purpose.

The other party sincerely admitted their mistake and insisted it was an accident. They were at a loss for what to do.

"The fox will eventually show its tail. Our priority now is to calm Jiang Hua down so he can take the physical education exam smoothly; the high school entrance exam is the key!"

Wang Chengyu advised, "It seems there's really no other way; we can only let him go for now."

Wang Chengqing felt another wave of sadness.

"I'll pick Jianghua up from school tonight, you stay at the store on duty."

Wang Chengyu gave Wang Chengqing some instructions, and Wang Chengqing, thinking that her sister was worried that her unstable emotions would make her driving unsafe, nodded in agreement.

In the afternoon, Wang Chengyu arrived at the gate of Jianghua School after the regular classes ended.

She wanted to see if she could run into Li Yi. Jiang Hua had told her that after the regular classes ended, Li Yi would usually go to a hamburger shop outside the school for dinner, and then go back to the school to ask the teachers for extra help in their offices.

The phrase "abuse of public resources for private gain" perfectly describes Li Yi's father. Wang Chengyu found his behavior disgusting, blatantly using school resources and abusing his position to give his son special treatment.

I wonder how much his son did, and how much he, as the father, knew about it, or if he knew but pretended not to!

Wang Chengyu already knew what Li Yi looked like from Wang Chengqing, and he came here today to stake out the place, hoping to run into Li Yi.

Even if a student in the third year of junior high school tries to hide it well, they can't help but show off when they've accomplished something 'big'.

He has to maintain a proper demeanor at school, and since he has no audience at home, no one will watch him boast. The only time he is most likely to let his guard down and reveal the truth is when he goes out for dinner.

Wang Chengyu arrived at the burger shop right on time, ordered his food, found an inconspicuous corner to sit down, and waited patiently.

While waiting, Wang Chengyu contacted a hacker online and paid him to obtain some surveillance footage of Li Yi giving private lessons at school.

And the surveillance videos taken from different angles on the playground on the day Jiang Hua fell.

Jiang Hua's high school is a well-known one in the district. The school is covered by surveillance cameras everywhere, except for the toilets. This includes the teachers' offices and the corridors; there are practically no blind spots.

Schools make grand pronouncements, claiming to eliminate school bullying, but when bullying actually occurs, the school is the quickest to delete surveillance footage.

Wang Chengyu speculated that there were two reasons why the surveillance footage of Jiang Hua's fracture incident was not deleted.

Firstly, Li Yi's father was unaware of the matter, and Li Yi believed he had done a perfect job and was not worried about others investigating.

Secondly, Li Yi's father knew about it and had seen the surveillance footage. He felt that his son didn't seem to have done it on purpose, and deleting the footage would only make things worse and raise more questions.
