Class Teacher System

Chapter 23: Save the psychopathic killer (23)

I’m back from surgery yay!

At this moment, Sun Fu Hai’s frame of mind had practically fallen apart. After he returned to earth, he blankly stood in place and didn’t know what he should say. He was aware that something big was going to happen, but he still didn’t want to admit. Hence, the people in the courtroom all saw Sun Fu Hai, who was endlessly insulting Lu Xu earlier, suddenly turn deathly pale as he shook his head, repeatedly saying: “It wasn’t me! It wasn’t me! The person who just said those words wasn’t me! No no no! The words I just said are not true! Those were just words said out of anger! They are all false, you shouldn’t believe them!”

However, the people inside the courtroom were all expressionlessly looking at him.

Lu Ban Ban was even more angry but also elated as he humphed: “We are not fools! They can find out whether it’s the truth by investigating!”

By his side, Ren Zhu smiled and reached out to pat Lu Ban Ban’s shoulder: “Speak less, observe more. Remember his current appearance, then take it as a warning.”

Lu Ban Ban quickly nodded: “Don’t worry teacher. In the future, I will definitely not be as foolish as him.”

Next to him, Zhou Lai simply scoffed: “Teacher is telling you that when you become a government official in the future, you should also not be corrupt, accepting bribes or wrongly accusing people. Because no matter what they do, in the end they will all be punished by justice.”

Teacher Ren was all smiles as he nodded: “What Xiao Lai said is correct.”

Lu Ban Ban: “……”

Amidst the roar of people, Sun Fu Hai was brought down. It could be assumed that someone quickly investigated whether everything he said was true. Afterwards, when interrogating Huang Xiao Na, no matter how much she raised an objection to every little thing, she still exposed a lot of information. In the end, when she was taken away, her face was also very unsightly.

In comparison, Lu Xu, who had looked very haggard from the start of the trial, instead had the best expression in the end.

Because a retracted testimony and an unexpected incident appeared during the trial, the case couldn’t be ended today. However, Lu Ban Ban knew that his father’s situation looked promising. In fact, three days after the court hearing, Lu Ban Ban could go to the detention centre to visit his father. As for his mother’s case, an outcome was also reached after ten days — since she exploited her position to obtain improper benefits, she was sentenced to 3 years in jail. However, because of her good behaviour, actively repenting and even compensating, she was ultimately sentenced to 4 years of probation.

When Mother Lu came out of the detention centre, Lu Ban Ban pushed his grandfather and the three people hugged each other. When Ren Zhu looked at this scene, he couldn’t help but sigh. Beside him, Zhou Lai also let out a breath: “My mother will be coming out next year. That year, her attitude wasn’t very good. Otherwise, she might have been like Auntie Lu.”

Ren Zhu reached out and rubbed Zhou Lai’s head: “At least your mother will come out next year. Ban Ban’s mother has at least five years where she can’t run all over the place and have that much freedom. Furthermore, Grandpa Lu also needs an adult in the family to look after him.”

Zhou Lai nodded: “En. I know. I’m considered as being happy for him. However, Uncle Lu’s matter is a little worrisome.”

Zhou Lai’s words were clear and logical, seeming like he was very knowledgeable regarding this matter. Beside him, Ren Zhu thought about it and actually felt that this youngster’s words were very correct. He smiled: “I couldn’t tell that you actually did some research on this. Could it be that you want to become a lawyer in the future?”

Ren Zhu’s words carried a joking tone, but he unexpectedly heard an exceptionally serious reply: “No, I won’t be a lawyer in the future. I am going to be a judge.”

Ren Zhu’s eyes slightly widened and looked at the child beside him who had already reached his chest. He saw the resolute and focused expression of the teenager and suddenly felt very happy: “This is a very good idea. So, you have put in a lot of effort to study hard. I believe that in the future, you will become a very powerful judge.”

In his heart, Zhou Lai held a trace of apprehension as he waited to be ridiculed. However, he instead heard an entirely different reply from what he imagined. Those pair of gloomy eyes instantly became shining with light. The teenager firmly held his fist and nodded his head: “Teacher, rest assured! In the future, I will definitely become a very powerful high court judge!”

Ren Zhu gently smiled. Zhou Lai then paused for a moment and again said: “Actually, if I can’t be a high court judge, then being a powerful but gentle teacher like you is also pretty good.”

“Did I not properly teach you language? How is it possible to be both powerful and gentle?” Teacher Ren smiled.

“When you are teaching us, you are strict and fair. When you are taking care of us, you are gentle and attentive. These points are not conflicting.” Zhou Lai answered his question. This might have been his most perfect answer in his entire 6 years of elementary school.

As a result, Teacher Ren heartily laughed.

Lu Ban Ban had his mother back, and on the eighth day of the Chinese New year, he waited for his father’s verdict.

The Public Security Bureau and the inspection office both investigated his father’s exam questions leak incident once again. They ultimately confirmed that this matter was the falsified evidence of Secretary Sun and Song Cheng Shi. However, there was undeniable proof that Lu Xu himself received bribes, and the amount was quite large. Director Lu was originally going to be sentenced to at least ten years of imprisonment. However, he took the initiative to confess some things and exposed some big fish, which could be considered as atoning for his crimes by doing good deeds. As a result, he was ultimately sentenced to 7 years in jail.

This conclusion made Lu Xiao Pang a little disappointed and distressed. Zhou Lai looked at his gloomy appearance and couldn’t help but give a few words of comfort: “Why are you upset? My father was sentenced to eight years.”

Lu Ban Ban sighed like a small adult. He could now already skilfully cook stir-fried tomato and eggs for his grandpa to eat. “I knew that my father would definitely be sentenced. After all, my family has so much money. However, I still believed that my father would be released from prison just when I pass the exams to enter university. That way, he would be able to see me off. Unfortunately, he was sentenced to seven years. By the time he is released, I would already be in the first year of university. Although your father was sentenced to eight years, three years have already passed. He will be able to come out when you’re in the final year of high school.”

When Zhou Lai heard this reason, his lips couldn’t help but twitch. He ruthlessly slapped Lu Ban Ban in the back until he started shouting in pain: “With your IQ, it’s completely possible for you to repeat a year for your father right?”

Lu Ban Ban was immediately seething with anger: “Are you questioning my IQ?! Even if my family can’t invite a home tutor later on, I can still score third place every time by relying on my own abilities!! I will be a talented student of Kyoto University! You don’t know a damn thing! In the future, I will become a university professor or the director of the Public Security Bureau!”

Zhou Lai laughed: “Then go for it. I will be that university professor or a high court judge of the prosecution office. Even being an elementary school teacher like our Teacher Ren is impossible for you.”

Thus, the two children were very lively as they bickered in the kitchen. Listening to their bickering, Mother Lu’s eyes were red as she smiled while cooking medicine for Grandpa Lu. Opposite the two people, Teacher Ren sat prepared to have a good meal.

Mother Lu wiped the corner of her eyes: “Teacher Ren. I really don’t know how I should thank you. In this period of almost two months, if you weren’t there, I don’t know what my family would have become after I came out, and what Ban Ban would have become. In the detention centre, I was worried every day until I couldn’t sleep, regretting until I was practically bathing in my own tears. However, when I saw Lu Ban Ban and my father’s appearance, you don’t know how happy I was. You are the great benefactor of our family, and also Teacher Ning. If not for him, this time Old Lu would very likely have to sit in prison for a long long time. I would like to express thanks to you and Teacher Ning.”

Mother Lu bent her waist and wanted to directly kneel down, but Ren Zhu firmly grasped her arm. “Big sister, I don’t dare to accept this. Since I am Ban Ban’s class teacher, I will naturally need to care about his business. Moreover, Ban Ban himself is also a strong and sensible child. In the future, he will become more and more capable, you can rest assured. Also, I think that the person you most need to thank is the other child inside. I believe that you also know the circumstances of his family. However, disregarding his former enmity, he still helped Ban Ban. His mother still has a year left before she can come out. In this one year, I ask big sister to take good care of that child.”

Mother Lu and Grandpa Lu both simultaneously nodded: “Of course we will! Zhou Lai is honestly such a good child. In the future, I will treat him as though he were my adopted son. Ha, after Big Sister Zhou comes out, I estimate that we will have a lot in common since we have both been detained by the police. Our two families can act as one.”

Mother Lu found joy despite everything that happened, making Ren Zhu break out into laughter. However, he also couldn’t help but lament in his heart on the similarities between these two families as well as their fortune. Just like he had previously thought, it was always hard for a person to shoulder pain and suffering alone. But when there was someone to accompany them, the suffering would become a lot less painful.

After Ren Zhu ate a not particularly good home cooked meal made by Lu Ban Ban and Zhou Lai, he stiffly smiled and left. The second he walked outside, he saw Professor Ning standing beside his luxury Benz.

“Eating alone is disgraceful.” Ning Xun stood beside his car and raised his eyebrow.

Ren Zhu also raised his eyebrows. He firmly took a bite out of the apple that Mother Lu stuffed into his hand before leaving, walking forward with large strides and hooking Ning Xun’s neck with his left hand.

An ice cold but sweet taste passed into Ning Xun’s mouth, causing him to be slightly stunned. His right hand tightly held Ren Zhu’s waist and he deepened the kiss that wasn’t really a kiss. After a long while, he finally stopped. Chewing the apple with a pleased expression, he said: “My skills are pretty good right?”

Teacher Ren gently laughed: “It’s late at night, don’t fuss.”

Professor Ning smiled with satisfaction: “Oh, then I’ll go back to being unrestrained.”

Ren Zhu sat in the car and looked at the snowflakes floating about outside. He then heard the sound of the system he hadn’t heard for a long time.

Ren Zhu was first momentarily blank, and then he shook his head and smiled.
