Chapter 396: She Actually Saved Xiao Wu

When the teachers and the dean came, the children were beaten up by their parents again. Mu Jingzhe felt that their buttocks must have swollen up.

Since they had been taught a lesson, and considering that they hadn't caused too much financial damage and Xiao Wu wasn't seriously injured, there was still room for reconciliation. There was no need for the kids to be detained, but they had to be educated and compensation had to be paid.

"Murder and arson equal jail time, did you not know that? You're young now, but your parents have to be responsible for the fire caused by underage children playing with flames. Do you want to destroy your parents?"

"No, we don't." In the past, they had only heard that playing with fire would make one wet the bed. As it turned out, it was even more terrifying than wetting the bed. Hundreds of times more terrifying.

It was necessary to educate them, and Mu Jingzhe wouldn't go easy on them when it came to the necessary compensation either. However, she was more concerned about another problem. "Xiao Wu, someone saved you previously. Who was it?"

When Xiao Wu heard the question, he suddenly fell silent for a moment. There was something wrong with his expression.

"What's wrong?" Mu Jingzhe quickly asked. Xiao Wu still didn't answer, but a police officer replied.

"We have a record here. We asked her not to leave since she had done a good deed. We also asked her to go to the hospital to have her hand injury examined, but she still left."

Mu Jingzhe quickly asked, "Can you give me her address and name? I want to thank that person."

This wasn't a problem, but Mu Jingzhe was stunned when she received the name and address, as the person in question was Shao Qiyun.

She hadn't heard that name in a while. Mu Jingzhe had thought that she had been forced to run away by the debt collectors, so she hadn't expected to see this name again.

"Are you sure?" Mu Jingzhe frowned when she saw the name.

"There's no mistake. We saw her ID. Why, do you know her?"

"Yes, I do." Mu Jingzhe smiled awkwardly and looked at Xiao Wu, who had his head lowered. No wonder Xiao Wu had such an expression and had suddenly stopped talking. So it was Shao Qiyun.

"Xiao Wu, why did she suddenly appear? How did she save you?"

Xiao Wu pursed his lips. "She just brought some clothes to put out the fire for me. I didn't expect her to help. Actually… she suddenly came two days ago and looked for me at the school gate."

"What?" Mu Jingzhe was shocked. "Then why didn't you say so?"

"I thought there was no need. I don't need any compensation."

Mu Jingzhe heaved a sigh of relief. "You should tell us about such things in the future. It's really frightening."

Since the person who had saved Xiao Wu was Shao Qiyun, it was unavoidable that Mu Jingzhe would have some conspiracy theories. However, this couldn't have been planned. The children had fought and set the fire by accident, so Mu Jingzhe decided not to think about anything else.

However, she was still quite upset and speechless, as the person she wanted to thank had turned out to be Shao Qiyun. She should be grateful, but Shao Qiyun… Although she was Xiao Wu's biological mother, what she had done was truly…

Seeing that Xiao Wu didn't look good, Mu Jingzhe quickly said, "Xiao Wu, don't think too much. You don't have to see her if you don't wish to."

Xiao Wu shook his head. "I'm fine."

As Mu Jingzhe and Xiao Wu were talking, Li Zhaodi's shout came from the door. "Who hit my grandson? Come out!"

Li Zhaodi and Mu Teng rushed over with killing intent. As soon as they entered, they bumped into the brats, who were about to leave. When they heard that they were the ones who had done it, Li Zhaodi planted her hands on her waist and scolded them without hesitation. She even wanted to spank the children's butts.

It wasn't easy for Li Zhaodi to finish scolding them. Then, Shao Qihai and Ji Buwang arrived. Everyone who came in couldn't help but scold them. Then, Shao Dong and his siblings also came. Not only did they scold them, but they even went up to them to hit them.

Coincidentally, there were also four brats. Dong, Nan, Xi, and Bei took on one each and couldn't even be held back. Little Bei didn't look like a little child star or angel at all. It was startling to see her jump on someone and grab their hair.

"Who told you to hit my younger brother?! Who told you to bully my younger brother?! Just you wait. I'm going to burn your hair!"

If Mu Jingzhe hadn't picked her up in the end, Little Bei would have burned his hair. After she was picked up, Little Bei continued waving her arms. The way Little Bei held a lighter, ready to burn their hair, became the brats' nightmare. Coincidentally, the brat Little Bei had dealt with was the one who had lit the fire.

He was also the one who had suffered the most injuries today. He had already been taught a harsh lesson and would be traumatized for the rest of his life. After Little Bei's appearance, he was completely crushed. From then on, he would be afraid of Little Bei and suffer from 'Little-Bei-phobia'.

Later on, Little Bei played many roles that everyone liked. Many people liked Little Bei very much. The only person who was afraid of Little Bei was this brat. Even when he grew up, his bladder would tighten whenever he saw Little Bei and he'd have an urge to go to the bathroom.

Unfortunately for him, Little Bei was too popular. All the television and movie advertisements and posters were about her, causing people to think that he was sick.

This would all happen in the future. In short, the police station was packed with people, and every single one of them was causing a scene and looking like they wanted to devour someone.

The parents, who had been lecturing their children until their mouths had turned dry, apologized one by one, their faces covered in sweat. This din persisted well past ten o'clock.

After sending everyone away, the police officers at the station heaved a sigh of relief. They clearly hadn't gone out to arrest someone today, but it had ended up being even more tiring than running around outside. They knew that Xiao Wu's identity was special, but this scene had still been very scary.

The mother had gone crazy, and the teachers from school had refused to give up. Then, the principal, vice-principal, and dean had also come. The way they fussed over the child was very scary. Besides them, there were also his maternal grandparents, his father, uncle, and finally, his siblings. One after another, they made the situation scary.

The police officers were stunned, and the parents and children were all in a daze.

After this incident, the brats' scalps would turn numb whenever they saw Xiao Wu. They could only hide as far away as they could.

The brats had been taught a lesson. In stark contrast to them, Xiao Wu was adored by everyone.

The teachers and principal felt very guilty. They felt that they had failed the trust of the parents who had entrusted their kids to them, as they had not taught (the brats) and protected (Xiao Wu) adequately. As a result, they reflected deeply. "We'll be more careful in the future."

After saying that, they gave Xiao Wu a leave of absence so he could rest.

When the teachers were sent away, only the family was left. They surrounded Xiao Wu and showered him with concern. Unknowingly, tears welled up in Xiao Wu's eyes.

"What's wrong? Xiao Wu, does it hurt? I'll blow it for you." Little Bei thought that he was in pain and quickly tried to blow it for him.

"No, I'm just so happy. So many people treat me well." Xiao Wu grinned. "I'm just happy."

"But why do you look like you're crying?" Little Bei held Xiao Wu's hand. "It's good that you know you're everyone's darling."

"Mm, I'm everyone's darling."

Xiao Wu rested the next day, but the news of what had happened to him had long spread to the other schools and attracted widespread attention.

That day, after the inter-school exercise, the principal or dean of every school spoke about this matter. After the students returned to class, their form teacher continued lecturing them about this.

The lecture was especially serious for Xiao Wu's class. The children whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, and whose buttocks were so swollen and painful that they couldn't even sit down, became the target of public criticism again.
