Chapter 759: Afraid of Something Being Discovering
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
He only knew how to pick on pushovers like Cheng Lin and Duan Wenguang to pinch.
He knew that Cheng Lin and Duan Wenguang’s families were both from the countryside and had no backers. Even if they suffered a loss, they could only silently endure it.
Wu Qiuyun quickly reached out, wanting to pull up the woman kneeling on the ground.
“Get up first. Regarding Duan Wenguang’s matter…” For a moment, she was actually stuck.
She didn’t know how to tell the woman in front of her that she was just an ordinary teacher and didn’t have much power.
She didn’t even know how to say it. Even the police couldn’t do anything about Duan Wenguang’s matter.
The woman’s honest gaze pierced Wu Qiuyun’s chest.
For the sake of their son, they did not hesitate to kneel before her.
Moreover, she should not be the only one who knelt down.
“Auntie, get up first. We’ll talk after you get up.” Ji Yuanyuan went forward and grabbed Duan Wenguang’s mother’s arm, pulling her up from the ground.
Ji Yuanyuan was strong, and the woman was pulled up just like that. She looked at Ji Yuanyuan in confusion.
Two security guards were still holding up Duan Wenguang’s father. Wu Qiuyun looked at the two security guards, “Let go of him!”
The security guards looked at each other, and one of them said awkwardly, “Teacher Wu, please don’t make things difficult for us. We’re just a few security guards. We have to do whatever the leader says. There are so many people in the second canteen. If the students see…”
Wu Qiuyun frowned. She wanted to say something, but Ji Yuanyuan stepped forward in time, “Alright, we won’t make things difficult for you. You don’t have to make things difficult for them either. Let’s understand each other. Return the banner to them. We promise that they won’t cause trouble again later.”
The security guards could tell that there was a loophole in Ji Yuanyuan’s words.
They wouldn’t cause trouble later, not in the future.
However, the security guard could only take advantage of it even if they could hear it.
If they really got into a conflict with the school teachers, the ones who would be punished would be them.
“Leave this place as soon as possible.”
The security guard released Duan Wenguang’s father and the banner.
Ji Yuanyuan looked at Duan Wenguang’s father and reminded him, “Uncle, you should put away the banner. It’s useless to pull the banner here.”
Once the school leaders found out, they would get the security guards to chase them away. After one or two times, they couldn’t even enter the school.
Moreover, even if they could enter, what could the students and teachers do when they saw their banners?
The heat would die down after a few days of discussion and gossip. They might not even look at the banner again.
This was human nature.
Duan Wenguang’s father put away the banner very quickly.
“Have you eaten?” Wu Qiuyun asked in a low voice.
Duan Wenguang’s father shook his head in silence.
“Let’s go eat first.” Wu Qiuyun sighed.
Wu Qiuyun was unable to move, so Cao Xiaorui jogged back to the laboratory and pushed her bicycle over.
Wu Qiuyun sat on the bicycle and was pushed by Cao Xiaorui.
A few of them brought Duan Wenguang’s parents to a small restaurant behind the school.
It was time for dinner, so there were quite a lot of people in the restaurant.
People were coming and going, so it was inconvenient to talk.
Wu Qiuyun ordered three dishes for the couple, “Let’s talk after eating. Let’s eat first.”
The couple hesitated. After the food was served, they put down their chopsticks after eating a few mouthfuls.
It was normal for them to be unable to eat after such a thing happened to their son.
However, looking at their worn out appearance, Wu Qiuyun subconsciously pushed the plate in front of them, “Have some more. If it’s not enough, order more.”
Mother Duan shook her head, “I can’t eat anymore.”
Father Duan rubbed his hands helplessly and looked at Wu Qiuyun, “You’re a teacher at the medical school. Do you know Xiao Guang?”
When Mother Duan heard this, she looked at Wu Qiuyun eagerly.
Wu Qiuyun nodded without any hesitation, “Although he’s not my student, he’s very outstanding. I often hear his name. I kind of know him.”
Mother and Father Duan’s eyes turned red.
“Our Xiao Guang is very capable. He’s the first university student in the village and is also from B University. He’s the pride of our village. His uncles are all looking forward to his future. They were the ones who paid for his college tuition.”
Cao Xiaorui’s eyes reddened as she listened to their conversation.
She raised her hand and wiped the corner of her eyes.
“Our Xiao Guang is very capable and can endure hardships. It’s impossible for him to commit suicide because of the pressure of his studies. Something must have happened.” Father Duan pursed his lips. “It’s all my fault. I signed the papers the day before yesterday. They’ve already burned Xiao Guang…”
Wu Qiuyun was a little surprised, “Has Duan Wenguang’s body has been…”
Mother Duan sobbed softly. Father Duan nodded. “We arrived in the early hours of the morning when Xiao Guang got into trouble. When we heard that something happened to Xiao Guang, we took an eight-hour bus ride here. They said that Xiao Guang fell from a very high place and his body can’t be seen anymore. They urged us to cremate him as soon as possible and bring him back to be buried. I…”
As he spoke, Father Duan choked up and couldn’t continue.
Wu Qiuyun grabbed a tissue from the table and handed it to Father Duan.
Father Duan reached out his rough and cracked hands to take the tissue. He raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.
“At that time, I didn’t know what was wrong with my brain. It just didn’t listen to me. I cremated Xiao Guang in the early hours of the morning. It wasn’t until noon the day before yesterday, when I was about to board the train, that I suddenly woke up. Xiao Guang is such a hardworking child. How could he commit suicide?” Father Duan clenched his fists in regret. The veins on the back of his hands were clearly visible.
Mother Duan reached out her hand excitedly and grabbed Wu Qiuyun’s hand, “There must be something wrong. They’ve been urging us to cremate Xiao Guang. They must be afraid that we’ll find out. You’re Xiao Guang’s teacher. You must know that Xiao Guang wouldn’t commit suicide for no reason, right?”
Wu Qiuyun looked at the hands that were holding her hand. For a moment, she didn’t know how to answer this question.
If she answered yes, then Duan Wenguang’s parents would be even more certain that there was something wrong with Duan Wenguang’s death, and they would definitely continue to pursue the matter.
But the current situation was that the police couldn’t find any evidence at all. Duan Wenguang’s death was as if it was really just a suicide.
Then, what should Duan Wenguang’s parents do for the rest of their lives?
They would always be filled with regret, regretting why they agreed to cremate Duan Wenguang’s corpse.
Regretting why they didn’t have the ability to seek justice for Duan Wenguang, a truth.
If she told Duan Wenguang’s parents now, Duan Wenguang indeed committed suicide. Then perhaps Duan Wenguang’s parents would accept this fact, and the rest of their lives would also be a little better.
However, was this matter really over?
Just like Cheng Lin back then, he died silently..
