A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 146

Suddenly it occurred to Linda that Robert Huo could be the new chemistry teacher, or he wouldn't be there.

The flag-raising ceremony was going on. The students stood there with their chests and heads high.

Lilian went to the platform and announced seriously, "One last thing today."

"John Lee, class 2, grade 3, violated the school's discipline and will make a self-criticism today."

Self-criticism? Linda frowned a little, wondering what this boy had done and why he needed to make a self-criticism in front of the whole school.

Linda could see one tall, slim boy in school uniform with a pair of glasses stand in the crowd far away from her. He was holding a sheet of paper.

"John, come here!" Lilian looked at the boy with a disgusted look and then went down the platform.

John staggered to the platform, held the microphone and took out his self-criticism paper. Although he didn't look at the audience, they began to gossip.

"Hello everyone, I'm John. In the computer class last Wednesday, I couldn't control myself and browsed porn websites. I even refused to admit my mistake after the teacher caught me. Now I really know I was wrong..."

Linda sighed and shook her head. In her opinion, it was normal for teenage boys to feel attraction towards females. Even if John browsed porn websites, it was no big deal.

Of course, he had gone too far, for he did that in class. However, his mistake was not so serious that he should make self-criticism in front of the whole school, which would be harmful to his growth.

After John finished, he went down the platform in laughter.

"Go back to the line of your class!" Lilian admonished him. She really couldn't stand a kid watching porn movies in class.

"My lady, this is no big deal. Do they really need to announce this in front of the whole school? This will traumatize this boy for the rest of his life!" Bun whispered to Linda.

Linda nodded, "Well, you're right. The school shouldn't do this, but there's nothing we can do. Education in China is just like this nowadays."

Linda decided to talk to John later since she was the psychology teacher. He needed help. Otherwise, he would probably feel depressed and even kill himself.

After the flag-raising ceremony, Linda and Bun went back to their office. She didn't have class that day and all she needed to do was to prepare for her class on Friday.

Bun had a class for grade one students in the morning.

The students were happy to meet Bun because not only she was pretty but she knew Kongfu as well. Soon, they were charmed by her.

At noon, while Linda and Bun were having lunch in the canteen, a student rushed in and shouted, "Teachers! John has gone to the top of the teaching building to commit suicide. You'd better hurry up to see. We couldn't stop him."

"John? Isn't he the boy who made self-criticism in the morning?

He was so fragile psychologically that he couldn't stand others' laughter." Linda thought.

The teachers flustered and rushed out of the canteen right away.

The canteen was on the first floor. John was there on the fifth floor. He sat on the edge of the side wall with both his legs hanging in the air.

Many people ran into see what's happening.

Most of them were just watching and gossiping.

However, some students were even provoking him. Sooner or later he would jump from the building.

Linda could hear they shout, "What are you waiting for? Jump!"

"Why don't you jump? If you don't dare, why do you go up there?" Linda frowned and she could barely open her eyes in the dazzling sunlight, "Bun? Can you seize him before he jump?"

"I don't know either. I have to go up to see." With a look at John, Bun also started to worry. After all, it was a matter of life and death. She didn't want to see him die on the first day of her work.

The principal and Lilian also heard the news and hurriedly came over.

"Send some men to the top and pull him down."

"We tried but failed, principal. He locked the door of the fire fighting access, so we couldn't get there."

The principal felt helpless. The fire fighting access was the only way to the top of the building.

Bun took a look at the building and said, "My lady, maybe I can give a try. I can climb up the wall to the top and sneak in. There are shelves of air-conditioners and windowsills every floor and it's not difficult for me to do this."

Linda refused, "No. It's too dangerous." She really wanted to save this boy but she didn't want to let Bun take the risk either.
