"If you do this again, I'm going to call the police!"

"Call the police? That's a good idea. My family runs a law firm."

Watanabe crossed his arms, raised his chin and looked down at Ayako Hoshikawa: "If you want to sue, I can introduce you to a lawyer I know."

"you--"

"Besides, unfortunately, my mother is coming to discuss the matter today. If you want to sue, just go to her."

At this point, the homeroom teacher belatedly remembered, "Ah, I did have an appointment with Mrs. Watanabe to discuss Watanabe's further studies today..."

Hanako tugged at Hoshikawa Ayako's sleeve and shook her head slightly to indicate that she didn't want to get entangled with her.

Watanabe's parents are both lawyers, the kind of elite scumbags. Her mother is a famous divorce lawyer who strives to make the man leave the house with nothing.

In the Sakura region, lawyers are also called 弁護士. They have a very high social status and are called "Sir" wherever they go.

The reason is simple. They and the authorities are half the same people...

The concept of legal community is very strong in the Chongqing region, and the judicial examination is open to practitioners from the entire industry.

Therefore, even if judges, prosecutors, and lawyers do not know each other, they will ask each other which term they are in when they meet, just like the juniors of a big company.

This kind of gameplay was very common in the feudal period of Donghuang - the same year, the master.

The concrete manifestation of this same-age relationship is that there are many conveniences when doing things.

People in the Procuratorate, the Court, the French Immigration Bureau, the Detention Center, etc. are all very polite to lawyers and will meet any requests that can be met.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that they are half of our own people. Ordinary people simply cannot play with them.

Alia's Izumo vicious dog, Kawagen Ichiro, was valued by the big chaebols because of his ability in the judicial examination.

If nothing unexpected happened, Ichiro Kawagen's life would actually be quite smooth, because lawyers' fees are very high.

In other words, the charges are very detailed. Face-to-face consultations are charged by the hour, and before a case is prosecuted, a handling fee for extrajudicial negotiations will be collected.

If you sue, you will need to collect a deposit.

If there is a second trial, a deposit for the second trial will be collected.

If compulsory enforcement procedures are required after the trial, separate fees will be charged.

In addition, the transportation costs, postage, document retrieval fees, etc. incurred by the case will ultimately be charged directly to the parties.

If you are on a business trip, you will be charged a daily allowance per person, which is the allowance for the business trip, and the price is not low.

In comparison, Donghuang's domestic all-inclusive counterparts can't even be called conscientious, but cheap...

From another perspective, how could it be surprising that Watanabe's mother, who came from such a background, suppressed two little girls?

So some things cannot be stopped just because the two girls want to stop them.

After a short wait, Watanabe's mother came to the school, looking like a strong woman.

"Teacher, my child has caused you trouble."

When it comes to etiquette, the people of Chongqing are very polite.

At first glance, there seems to be nothing wrong with Watanabe's mother.

The head teacher told her about this matter weakly, and she glanced at the two little girls and ignored them.

She just said that if Ayako Hoshikawa chose to call the police, she would file a lawsuit against the other party for false accusation.

"But it's obviously your daughter who is bullying her classmates!"

"Mr. Xingchuan, you need evidence to speak. Do you have direct evidence that my daughter bullied you?"

"..."

"Video, or audio recording, or testimony from witnesses?"

The strong woman sat elegantly, looking at the speechless Hoshikawa Ayako, and even offered to invite a few classmates to testify.

The head teacher quickly ran to call for help, and the other teachers also went to class. Suddenly, they were the only ones left in the office.

Watanabe's mother took a sip of tea, frowned, put down the cup, and looked at Hoshikawa Ayako, who was alert and a little frightened.

"Xingchuan, I'll tell you what's going to happen next. Your homeroom teacher will invite some classmates. It may be random, it may be selective, but no matter what, they will not testify for you. They will only be vague, saying maybe, possibly, probably... But in the end, if you tell them what happened and ask if it happened or not, they will only answer that they didn't see it."

"..."

"There has never been a leader in your class from the beginning. It doesn't matter who created the atmosphere. They are just a group of corrupt sheep who follow the crowd like fence-sitters. My daughter may have done something very excessive, but if there is no solid evidence, she didn't do it. I hope you can understand."

"..."

"You may feel angry or powerless, but it's useless. Anyway, this is the fact. The real world is different from fairy tales. It's not so easy to change. How can you eliminate bullying?"

Watanabe stood behind his mother, looking arrogant: "That's right! How is it possible! You big idiot!"

"And you." Watanabe's mother turned around and glanced at her daughter.

"The reason why you can stand here so easily is not because of what you did in your class, but because I am your mother. My class determines your class. Put aside your ridiculous pride. It's time for you to grow up. Don't wallow in the mud for too long and forget what you are going to do in the future."

"……Yes."

Silence, silence.

The head teacher brought back a few students, but just as Watanabe's mother said, what they showed was a deception called smoothing things over.

“Maybe, but I didn’t notice it.”

"Probably not. I didn't see it anyway."

"Of course not! They must have thought so themselves!"

"That is to say, this is clearly a false accusation, so abominable——"

"You clearly saw it!" Ayako Hoshikawa looked at these classmates in disbelief: "You talked to me about this before!"

The girl who was questioned by her looked very unhappy.

She first glanced at Watanabe, then secretly glanced at Watanabe's mother's expression, and finally forced herself to deny it.

"No way! I just talked to you about some topics about playing after school, don't talk nonsense like that!"

Hoshikawa Ayako's face had turned pale, and she looked at Watanabe's mother with a somewhat distraught look.

She didn't expect that just a few words from the other party would be enough to suppress the students so much that they dared not stand on her side and tell the truth.

But - she is neither a teacher, nor a police officer, nor even a celebrity!

Can she become a so-called authority just by being an 'adult' and arbitrarily tamper with the past?

Watanabe's mother seemed tired of these boring little games and she looked at her expensive watch.

"I'm here to discuss matters concerning further studies, not these."

"Wait a minute!" Hoshikawa Ayako looked at her watch and seemed to remember something: "No matter what! It's a fact that she stole!"

"..." Watanabe's mother frowned: "Ms. Hoshikawa Ayako, do you know what you are saying?"

"I'm not lying! She stole this!"

She took out her business card, as if it was the last lever she had to use to attack Watanabe.

"The raw materials of this business card made of precious metals are worth more than 100,000 yen, and they threw it into the sewer!"

"…Is this true?" Watanabe turned around and looked at his daughter.

The latter shrugged: "I just picked it up, and when I wanted to return it to my classmate, it fell into the sewer. I didn't mean to do it."

"So it was an accident, not an intentional illegal occupation, right?"

"Of course not! And, Mom, why do you think she has such a valuable thing? Isn't this a false accusation?"

Regardless of the content of the business card, just looking at the material, isn't this equivalent to running around with precious metal jewelry? What if it's a scam?

"Hey - Xingchuan -"

A gorilla figure opened the door of the office, with some sewer stains and a clean card in his hand.

"I found it. It wasn't washed away!"

"It seems that this is not theft." Watanabe's mother pushed her glasses and said, "Teacher, can you give me the business card? This may be evidence."

"Evidence? What evidence?"

"The false accusation evidence deliberately stated that the value of an item was very high, but in fact, it was just a clumsy frame-up."

"Eh? This thing?" The gorilla teacher scratched his head and looked at the card in his hand: "This thing should be very expensive, right? It looks very expensive."

"You can't just look at it. It needs to be identified by a professional organization."

"Why is it so troublesome? It's just a business card. Why not just call and ask? If it's an important person, it would be reasonable."

The gorilla teacher took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

The force of his actions was so strong that for a moment no one could react - and then they were at a loss.

No? Are you really going to hit me?

"Whose business card is that?" Watanabe's mother instinctively felt something was wrong.

If he really is a big shot and is related to these girls, then it would be a bit troublesome.

"She's a rising star in the financial world." Watanabe lowered his voice, "She's the president of a financial group, and she's a very beautiful person."

"…What is her relationship with them?"

"It has nothing to do with it. Maybe it's because he's a fan. He's very popular recently."

Watanabe's mother was relieved and just waited quietly for the call to be hung up.

But unexpectedly, after a short wait, the call was connected...

"Moses Moses?"

"Hello, who are you?"

"Ah, hello, is this - um, Xingchuan, is this a Chinese character? How do you pronounce it?"

"Hiroshikawa? Ayako?" The person on the other end of the phone was confused for a moment: "Did something happen to Ayako?"

"In general, I just want to ask, is this business card a very valuable item?"

"No, business cards are not rare, so what happened?"

"Ah, I don't know the details. Are you a relative of Xingchuan?"

"Yes, I am her sister, who are you?"

"I'm Xingchuan's physical education teacher at her school. If possible, please come over to discuss this. It's a serious matter and seems to involve lawyers or something."

Ayako Hoshikawa almost jumped up and snatched the phone from the gorilla physical education teacher.

"No, Miss Ai, it's nothing! I can handle it, please pretend you didn't receive the call! I'm really sorry!"

"If you put it that way, I'd be more concerned... So something happened that you couldn't handle, right?"

"No...it's just..." Ayako Hoshikawa sniffed, tears falling down: "I just-"

"It's okay. I just happened to be going out, so I stopped by. Please wait for me at school."

The voice on the other end of the phone said with a warm smile——

"Didn't I tell you that if you have any difficulties in life, you can always contact me."

"..."

Watanabe's mother watched this touching performance with cold eyes.

After hanging up the phone, she leisurely drank a sip of tea, feeling relieved.

The other person's voice is too young!

If it was an old voice, she would definitely choose to give in.

But seeing such a young voice, which didn't even sound much older than these students, she was not afraid at all.

Maybe the other party is the daughter of a certain family, but this is just a minor matter.

More importantly, from listening to the conversation, you can tell that these two girls are not actually very familiar with each other.

"It's time for the farce to end." She put down her teacup.

The gorilla PE teacher looked at her in confusion: "Farce? What farce?"
