Chapter 561: Ma Feiyang Admits His Mistake and Apologizes

"Officer Wu!"

Qin Tian called out.

After hearing the voice, the two officers and Dean Liu looked over and walked straight toward them.

Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan stood up to greet them.

"Student Qin Tian, Student Xia Nuannuan, there are private rooms upstairs; let's change to a different place to eat and talk!"

Dean Liu suggested with a gentle smile.

Qin Tian guessed the school leader's intention and nodded in agreement.

So, the group went upstairs and entered a private room.

Under Dean Liu's arrangement, the cafeteria staff quickly brought over a few dishes and several bowls of rice.

Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan had already eaten, so they just held their chopsticks and picked at the dishes.

"Student Qin Tian, Officer Wu has already told me the general situation."

After eating a few bites, Dean Liu opened the conversation.

Qin Tian glanced at Officer Wu, who was shoveling rice into his mouth with a bowl in hand, and asked Dean Liu: "Has the perpetrator been identified? Is it a student from the Civil Engineering College?"

"You've already guessed it?"

A look of surprise appeared on Dean Liu's face.

"Otherwise, you wouldn't have come, and after my friends and I sorted out our thoughts, we already had a suspect in mind."

Qin Tian said with a serious expression.

"Can you tell me your guess?"

The young female officer became interested, looking at him with bright eyes.

"There's a male student in the freshman Civil Engineering department, his surname is Ma, I won't say his name, but when the freshmen were registering, he harassed my girlfriend, and later he also made some sour remarks directed at me."

Qin Tian said in a calm tone.

The two officers and Dean Liu looked at each other, all wearing expressions that said, "As expected."

Clearly, they had also guessed this reason.

"You guessed right. We went to the security office to check the nearby surveillance, and one of the cameras captured the full face of this student named Ma Feiyang. He was only two hundred meters from the scene of the incident, the time matches, and with this motive, the evidence is sufficient."

Officer Wu swallowed the food in his mouth and stated the investigation results.

Qin Tian nodded with a composed expression.

"Officer Wu, how should this matter be handled then?"

Xia Nuannuan suddenly asked.

Several pairs of surprised eyes fell upon her.

"That depends on what you two say, whether you agree to a private settlement. If we follow legal procedures, he will definitely have to bear criminal responsibility."

The female officer took over the conversation and answered.

Xia Nuannuan looked at Dean Liu over there, hesitating to speak.

"Student Qin Tian, Student Xia Nuannuan."

Dean Liu put down his chopsticks and said slowly: "I know this is unfair to you, but since I have come, you should have guessed what I want to say. I hope you can help out and not let this matter blow up any further."

"You both know that many students in the school are paying attention to this. If it continues, it will have a very bad impact on the school's reputation."

"Of course, Ma Feiyang made a mistake and must bear the consequences. I will have him come over to apologize to you and compensate for your losses as much as possible."

"However, I hope this matter can end here. Ma Feiyang is certainly at fault, but to err is human; I don't want to ruin a student's future because of one such mistake!"

"Think about it, if the whole school knows he did this, how will he be able to stay in school? I checked his file; he is an only child from an ordinary family, his parents are both average office workers, and the hope of an entire family rests on him!"

"You are both seniors, just forgive him this once, and let it not happen again!"

After hearing Dean Liu's words, Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan both fell into a brief silence.

The two officers ate their meal, waiting quietly.

"Nuannuan, you decide!"

Qin Tian looked at Xia Nuannuan beside him and said.

Xia Nuannuan did not decline; she nodded slightly, looked at Dean Liu, and said: "Dean Liu, we can accept your proposal, but I have one condition."

"Go ahead!"

Dean Liu nodded immediately.

"Because of me, he has said many bad things about Brother Tian before. I require that after he apologizes, there must not be a single bad word directed at Brother Tian coming from him again."

Xia Nuannuan stated her condition with a solemn expression.

"That goes without saying. I will personally guarantee it. If there is another such incident, I will give him a major demerit and issue a public reprimand!"

Dean Liu promised with a serious face.

"Also, the money for the car repairs, he must compensate in full. The money Brother Tian used to buy the car was earned by himself. He can take a part-time job and pay us back before he graduates from university. We don't need interest; he just needs to pay back the exact cost of the repairs."

Xia Nuannuan added.

"That's fine, that's only right!"

Dean Liu nodded in agreement.

"Then I have no objections."

"Student Qin Tian, what about you?"

"What Nuannuan said is what I wanted to say."

Qin Tian replied with a smile.

"Then it's decided."

Dean Liu smiled and said.

"Dean Liu, have you considered what if he doesn't agree?"

Qin Tian suddenly asked another question.

"Doesn't agree? Then things will proceed as they must. I have only done what an educator ought to do; if he refuses to repent, then there is nothing I can do."

After leaving the cafeteria, Qin Tian and the others followed Dean Liu all the way to his office.

On the way, Dean Liu had already dialed the phone number of the counselor for the class where Ma Feiyang was, telling him to bring the person to the office.

After arriving at the office, Dean Liu invited the four of them to sit down and brewed tea for them.

The young Caitlyn was likely still single and was very interested in the two of them's romantic history, chatting and laughing with Xia Nuannuan while drinking tea.

After about ten minutes, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the office.

Everyone looked over, only to see a man standing at the office door with a boy whose head was drooping.

"Dean Liu!"

The man, who was about to knock on the door, lowered his hand and greeted Dean Liu somewhat nervously.

"Come in, and close the door."

Dean Liu said with a cold face.

"Yes!"

The man nodded hurriedly, dragged Ma Feiyang, who was behind him, into the office, and closed the door.

Qin Tian and the others could all see that Ma Feiyang, with his head buried, had legs that were trembling.

"Dean, two students, two officers, it is my dereliction of duty as a counselor; I am truly sorry."

The man bowed directly to everyone to apologize.

Neither Qin Tian nor Xia Nuannuan knew this counselor, so they did not know what to say.

"That's enough, what use is your apology? Bring Ma Feiyang over here!"

Dean Liu ordered with a stern face.

Upon hearing this, Ma Feiyang shuddered all over, and his head buried even lower.

The man pulled Ma Feiyang to the front of Dean Liu's desk and stood there obediently.

"Ma Feiyang, do you admit your mistake?"

Dean Liu asked sternly.

"I... I was wrong, Dean, I know I was wrong, I'm sorry!"

Ma Feiyang admitted his mistake and apologized with a trembling voice and a tearful tone.
