Chapter 164: Chapter 161 Teacher Liu’s Tears

Teacher Liu looked at the four people, including Chu Mengyao, and couldn’t keep his back straight. He hesitated slightly, then walked towards them.

"President, I didn’t expect such a small matter to alarm you." Teacher Liu said complexly.

"Small matter?" Chu Mengyao frowned, if the missing of the three children were really related to Teacher Liu, would this be a small matter?

"Teacher Liu, how could you be so confused? How should I put it?" Principal Wei was heartbroken, "Three children are missing, and you still say this is a small matter. How could you be like this? You are, after all, a model teacher."

"Officers, are you going to arrest me?" Teacher Liu extended his hand. Ye Fan didn’t have the authority or ability to arrest anyone, and Zhang Lu rarely wore a gun, let alone handcuffs. She herself was powerful enough to handle the situation effortlessly.

"Come with us. There’s no way you’ll get away." Zhang Lu said calmly.

If Teacher Liu wanted to escape, Ye Fan wouldn’t need to get involved; Zhang Lu could handle everything herself.

"Wait a minute." Teacher Liu hesitated, confused, "The children are missing? What do you mean three children are missing?"

He looked at Principal Wei, very puzzled, "What’s going on?"

"Are you still pretending? You’re simply..." Principal Wei was about to scold a few words, but seeing Teacher Liu’s serious expression, he quickly shut up, muttering in his heart, "He’s already confessed, there’s no reason to deny the children’s matter. Could there be another unexpected change?"

Principal Wei pondered for a moment and said, "Big Niu, Big Hu, and Xiao Wu are missing. Is this unrelated to you?"

Teacher Liu naturally knew of these three children, and he was even more puzzled, "They’re missing? How did they go missing? What does this have to do with me? What’s actually happening? You should explain it clearly to me."

Principal Wei glanced at the president, and after receiving a signal, he briefly explained the situation.

"How did this happen? Were they taken by human traffickers? How could this be?" Teacher Liu became worried and anxiously asked, "Any news about the suspects?"

"What exactly did you do wrong? Seeing the look on you and your wife’s face, it’s clear you know you’re at fault, and you also intend to surrender."

Chu Mengyao inquired, not wanting to digress too much to avoid wasting time. The longer the delay, the lower the chances of finding the children.

"Are you suspecting that the disappearance of the three children is related to me?" Teacher Liu understood this reasoning and said bitterly, "Even if I were ruthless, how could I possibly harm the children? I only misappropriated some funds to pay for my daughter’s medical treatment, using some of the school’s money."

"Teacher Liu, you nearly scared us to death! Luckily, your offense isn’t grave, you only misappropriated public funds, so that’s good."

Principal Wei completely relaxed. Considering Teacher Liu managed the finances and might have had to make slight adjustments to the funds, it was easy for him. Besides, everyone believed in Teacher Liu’s character, especially now with the three children missing. Even if he left clues, it was impossible to quickly suspect Teacher Liu.

Compared to abducting three children, Teacher Liu’s crime was indeed minor.

Teacher Liu was also quite scared. Suppressing his inner unease, he worriedly asked, "Are there any leads on the three children?"

"If there were, we wouldn’t suspect you." Principal Wei said helplessly.

Chu Mengyao, Ye Fan, and Zhang Lu exchanged glances, already convinced of Teacher Liu’s words.

"Looks like I was overly optimistic. I knew that after investigating for so long without any results, it wasn’t likely to achieve such a big breakthrough this quickly." Zhang Lu thought in frustration.

"After all, I committed a crime. Take me away." Teacher Liu extended his hands.

Teacher Liu’s family had been through a lot; his father was bedridden for a long time, depleting the family savings, and his daughter fell ill, leading him to misappropriate public funds. The offense was severe.

"President, could there be a way to mediate this matter? Afterward, we’ll help Teacher Liu reimburse the misused funds, and let’s not pursue his offense. After all, he did it for his daughter." Principal Wei pleaded.

"This is a minor issue. Consider the money as me granting it to Teacher Liu. Later, prepare a report to avoid gossip." Chu Mengyao didn’t mind in the slightest and did not blame Teacher Liu. For his daughter, just this fatherly love won her sympathy.

She even thought about preparing a report to prevent Teacher Liu from being looked down upon at the school.

"How can this be? Wrongdoings deserve punishment. As a teacher, how could I evade responsibility?" Teacher Liu was very grateful for the president’s great compassion but absolutely refused to accept such a handling method.

Principal Wei became anxious, "Teacher Liu, control your stubborn temper."

"I am guilty. I will not evade it. Otherwise, how would I face myself in the future?" Teacher Liu was determined not to rest until he receives legal punishment, very stubborn.

"I have such a short temper, I could just slap you. Can you stop being so stubborn?" Principal Wei was extremely angry.

"Isn’t it just a few hundred thousand? You and your father have made significant contributions to Yucai School, even if I tacitly allowed you to take the money, your conscience isn’t at ease, and you seek punishment. But have you thought about your daughter and wife?"

"Would you really feel satisfied only if your wife visits you in prison?"

"Do you want your daughter to know that you used the school’s money to pay for her treatment? How do you think she would feel? Despite being a teacher, do you realize how much psychological trauma that would cause your daughter?"

"If your daughter knew it was because of her that you went to jail, do you think she wouldn’t blame herself?"

"In an extreme case, what if she did something foolish? Have you thought about that?"

"If you feel guilty, use your talents to repay the school. Teach well."

Chu Mengyao scolded him.

These words stirred ripples in Teacher Liu’s stubborn heart.

"President, I am sorry. I have failed your trust." Teacher Liu said, deeply ashamed.

"Stop with the nonsense. I think you already have a decision in your heart. We don’t want to waste too much time here. Go take good care of your daughter. If you’re foolish enough to surrender to the police, don’t blame me for letting your daughter know what you did. Then, see how you’ll cope when she refuses treatment." Chu Mengyao said harshly.

Her words were an eye-opener for Teacher Liu.

"President, thank you. I know what to do now." Teacher Liu bowed slightly and, with tears dropping to the ground, walked towards the hospital room.
