Yun Que'er almost instantly understood.
Li Chengfu looked at her with satisfaction. "I knew I wasn't wrong about you. You're so smart. Even without anyone's help, you'll be able to safely get through this crisis."
Yun Que'er quickly thanked Li Chengfu, then hurriedly dragged Yun Jianzhou back home.
"For now, I think we should rally the people in the school, especially those who were on good terms with Dad."
As Yun Que'er said this, she turned to look at Yun Fu Jin.
"I think only if there are enough people to prove Dad's innocence, even if we can't find evidence for the time being, they won't dare to easily sentence Dad. Then we'll have a chance to turn things around for him."
Yun Fu Jin nodded. "I think this method will work. Let's go quickly."
Yun Yi was at school and didn't know about this yet. Only the three siblings went together.
But when they talked to the principal, he looked embarrassed.
"Kid, it's not that I can't help you with this." The principal sighed. "If it were in the past, I would have organized things myself without you saying a word. But you know, most of the old teachers here have been transferred away. These new teachers come from all over, and they may not even be familiar with your dad. Even if I were to try to use my influence, they may not agree."
Yun Que'er knew all these things the principal said. To put it bluntly, people tend to stay out of things that don't concern them.
It's not like the fire has burned their own houses, so of course they won't meddle in other people's business. There's nothing wrong with this; it's just human nature.
But Yun Que'er couldn't just give up like this. She quickly said,
"Principal, I understand your difficulties. Don't worry. You don't need to do the organizing and mobilizing. We'll handle it ourselves. I just need your approval."
Seeing Yun Que'er's sincere attitude, the principal felt sorry for her and nodded.
"That's fine. As long as you can mobilize everyone, I'll definitely do my best to help you."
Having gotten the principal's approval, Yun Que'er quickly pulled Yun Fu Jin away.
"Xiao Que'er, will this work?" Yun Fu Jin was a bit worried. "Does the principal not want to help us? Can we still pull this off? Otherwise... let's think of some other way."
"He's not unwilling to help. It's just that this matter is really troublesome, and the principal doesn't really need to get involved in this mess. Even if he likes Dad, he's still the principal of all the people in the school."
So Yun Que'er solved this problem for him.
Since this matter is difficult to handle, she'll handle it herself. She just needs to use their names.
Yun Que'er didn't believe that among all of Yun Mo Tan's old colleagues and friends, there wouldn't be a single person who would speak up for him.
Seeing Yun Que'er so confident, Yun Fu Jin felt a bit more at ease.
The two first bought some gifts and went to the police station where Yun Mo Tan was.
After Officer Shen helped to say hello, the other people's attitudes became much better.
Yun Que'er presented the gifts and smoothly went in to see Yun Mo Tan.
After hearing Yun Mo Tan recount the incident again, Yun Que'er increasingly felt that this was a deliberate frame - up by Shen Qing Qing.
Li Chengfu was right. Since they did this, they must have their own reasons.
But Yun Que'er didn't believe that this kind of scheming could come from a child. Even if it could, the goal they wanted to achieve might not be theirs.
So... was it Teacher Lu?
What on earth did she want?
"You really want to petition for me?" Yun Mo Tan was surprised. "This is too risky. If things go wrong, you'll even get yourselves involved! Forget it, forget it. You should just live your lives peacefully. I've never done anything wrong, so I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on my door. They won't be able to do anything to me."
Yun Mo Tan was still too idealistic. If he always thought that people's actions would be rewarded or punished by heaven, then he would deserve to be wrongly accused and even die.
Yun Que'er persuaded him, "Dad, this matter is no small deal. It's not something that can be solved by just being locked up for a couple of days. In serious cases, it could even mean being executed by firing squad! We've already lost Mom. How can we lose Dad too?"
Yun Que'er's words hit the nail on the head with Yun Mo Tan. Of course he didn't want his children to become orphans.
"But... what if the other teachers get implicated because of this? What if you kids get dragged down?"
Yun Mo Tan's concerns were numerous. What he was thinking now was that if he really couldn't get out unscathed, he had to protect his children.
They were still so young...
"Dad, I've made up my mind." Yun Que'er said firmly.
"There's no way that villains can rule the world. I believe that justice will prevail, but before that, I must do everything in my power!"
Yun Mo Tan knew that he couldn't persuade Yun Que'er.
Well, kids always have their own ideas.
Moreover, seeing how filial they were, Yun Mo Tan was actually very gratified. He just didn't know how to express it.
When Doctor Ji came back, he heard about this and immediately slapped the table.
"Xiao Que'er, you just focus on your studies. Leave these things to the family. Don't worry. Your aunt and I will both help."
Yun Que'er was persuaded to go to school. But as soon as she entered the classroom, she felt scrutinizing looks from all directions.
Yun Que'er had already mentally prepared herself. She knew that after this incident, people definitely wouldn't give her a good look.
But she had to admit that when she really faced these intense looks, she didn't feel very comfortable.
Ji Cheng Xuan followed behind Yun Que'er. Seeing Yun Que'er stop, he quickly stepped forward to block her.
"I'll walk in front of you. You just walk to your seat with peace of mind."
Yun Que'er looked at Ji Cheng Xuan gratefully. Although she usually complained about him, Ji Cheng Xuan had really helped her a lot.
Under Ji Cheng Xuan's protection, Yun Que'er walked forward step by step.
Who would have thought that just one step away from her seat, an object suddenly flew towards the back of Yun Que'er's head.
Yun Que'er felt it but couldn't dodge in time and was hit right on.
Intense pain accompanied by a cloud of white chalk dust. Yun Que'er touched her head blankly. Although there was no blood, a big bump had swollen up.
She had been hit by a blackboard eraser. Turning around, the culprit was standing on the podium, smiling.
"How do you still have the nerve to come to school?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the classmates seemed to be ignited. They all felt indignant and their looks at Yun Que'er were full of anger.
"That's right. The daughter of a rapist doesn't deserve to go to school!"
"Get out quickly. Don't study with us. You'll dirty our place!"
Yun Que'er looked at them calmly, and her expression hardly changed.
Just a few days, or even just one day ago, they were still laughing and playing together.
Even during class or cleaning, Yun Que'er had helped them.
Was this just the impermanence of life, or the callousness of people?
