Mr. Zhou looked at the tears in his son's eyes and couldn't help but feel moved.

He reached out and patted Zhou Ran on the shoulder: "As long as you are willing to change, it is never too late. I will always support you."

When Zhou Ran heard his father's words, he felt a mixture of guilt and gratitude that made him unable to express it in words. He held his father's hand tightly, as if he wanted to convey his determination and change deep in his heart through this contact.

"Dad, I really know I was wrong. I will cooperate with the police investigation and try to make up for the mistakes I made as soon as possible." Zhou Ran's voice was firm and powerful.

Mr. Zhou looked at the determination in his son's eyes, and the anger in his heart gradually dissipated, replaced by a deep expectation. He knew that Zhou Ran was a smart and talented child since he was young, but he just took the wrong path. Now, he is willing to turn back and change, which is the result that Mr. Zhou hopes to see most.

"Okay, I believe you. But you have to remember that reforming yourself is not something that can be achieved overnight. You need to put in effort and time to prove your determination." Mr. Zhou said earnestly.

Zhou Ran nodded: "I know, I will."

At this moment, the door of the interrogation room was pushed open and Officer Wang walked in. He felt relieved when he saw Mr. Zhou and Zhou Ran recognize each other as father and son. He knew that for a criminal suspect like Zhou Ran, family support and understanding were very important.

"Mr. Zhou, thank you for cooperating with our work. Zhou Ran has confessed everything to us and provided some valuable clues. We will continue to investigate in depth based on these clues." Officer Wang said to Mr. Zhou.

Mr. Zhou looked at Officer Wang and said gratefully, "Thank you for giving Zhou Ran a chance to reform. I will do my best to help him and get him back on the right track."

Officer Wang nodded: "We believe Zhou Ran can recognize his mistakes and is willing to correct them. We will also try our best to help him."

After a series of events, Zhou Ran finally had a chance to make amends for his past behavior. The police successfully cracked the case based on the clues he provided, and Zhou Ran was given a chance to be lenient because of his cooperative attitude. However, he knew that his crimes had brought irreparable harm to society, family, and even friends. Among them, what made him feel most guilty was the harm to his good friend Sun Tingting.

So, on a sunny morning, Zhou Ran stood on the school playground, facing all the teachers and students of the school. He plucked up his courage and prepared to apologize to Sun Tingting.

The playground was filled with noise, but when Zhou Ran stepped onto the stage, the surroundings gradually quieted down. He took a deep breath and then said loudly: "Dear teachers and students, I am standing here today to apologize to someone."

He turned to where Sun Tingting was, his eyes firm and sincere, "Sun Tingting, I'm sorry. I know my past behavior has caused you a lot of harm and distress. I betrayed your trust and made you lose face in front of your friends and classmates. This is all my fault, and I am willing to bear all the consequences."

Sun Tingting heard Zhou Ran's apology, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes. She looked at Zhou Ran, with mixed emotions in her heart. But Zhou Ran's sincerity and determination made her feel a little comforted.

Zhou Ran continued, "I know that an apology cannot erase my past mistakes, nor can it completely make up for the harm I have caused you. But I hope you know that I have truly recognized my mistakes and am willing to do everything to correct them. I hope we can still be friends and encourage and support each other as before."

Sun Tingting listened to Zhou Ran's words, and the anger and resentment in her heart gradually dissipated. She looked at the determination and sincerity in Zhou Ran's eyes and knew that he was truly repentant. Although the past hurt could not be erased, she was willing to give Zhou Ran a chance to start over.

So, she walked to the front, looked at Zhou Ran and said, "Zhou Ran, I accept your apology. But I hope you can remember the promise you made today and never do anything that hurts yourself or others again."

Zhou Ran looked at Sun Tingting, and his gratitude and respect were beyond words. He bowed deeply, and then said firmly: "Thank you, Sun Tingting. I will remember the promise I made today, and I will be a good person in the future and will not let you down again."

The teachers and students on the playground watched this scene and applauded. After apologizing in front of all the teachers and students in the school, Zhou Ran felt unprecedented relief. He knew that this was the starting point for his new life. And Sun Tingting's forgiveness and support gave him great encouragement and motivation.

In order to make up for his past mistakes, Zhou Ran decided to study again and try to return to school as soon as possible. However, since he had missed too many courses before, it was difficult for him to study on his own. So he found Sun Tingting, hoping that she could help him make up for the lessons.

One afternoon, Zhou Ran came to Sun Tingting's home. He looked at the textbook in his hand and said nervously, "Tingting, I know I have missed a lot of courses before, and it is very difficult for me to study on my own now. Can you help me make up for the lessons?"

Sun Tingting looked at Zhou Ran and smiled: "Of course. But you have to be mentally prepared, I will be very strict."

After hearing this, Zhou Ran nodded firmly: "No problem, I will definitely study hard."

So, Sun Tingting began to tutor Zhou Ran seriously. She started with the most basic knowledge and patiently answered every question Zhou Ran had. Zhou Ran also cherished this opportunity very much. He listened carefully to Sun Tingting's explanation and tried hard to remember and understand every knowledge point.

Whenever Zhou Ran encountered a problem, Sun Tingting would encourage him: "It's okay, take your time. As long as you work hard, you will definitely catch up."

With the help of Sun Tingting, Zhou Ran made rapid progress in his studies. He quickly mastered the knowledge he had missed before and even began to develop a strong interest in some new fields.

After a make-up class, Zhou Ran looked at Sun Tingting and said sincerely: "Tingting, thank you. Without your help, I may never be able to catch up with everyone's progress."

Sun Tingting shook her head slightly and said to Zhou Ran: "Really, you don't have to thank me, Zhou Ran. In fact, I should thank you. If you hadn't given me the opportunity to start over, I might still be drowning in the shadow of the past."
The two smiled at each other, and the grudges and misunderstandings in their hearts disappeared at this moment. They knew that although the mistakes of the past could not be undone, as long as they sincerely corrected them and made efforts, they would be able to win the recognition and trust of others again.

As time went by, Zhou Ran and Sun Tingting became closer. They supported and encouraged each other in their studies and became close friends in life. Whenever Zhou Ran encountered difficulties or felt confused, Sun Tingting would always listen to him patiently and give him the most sincere advice and support.

Zhou Ran also became more mature and stable. He was no longer as reckless and willful as before, but learned to take responsibility for his actions and work hard to make up for his past mistakes. He understood that only in this way could he truly win the respect and trust of others.

However, a new crisis quietly arrived. On this day, Sun Tingting was hunted down again.

Sun Tingting was so focused on running away that she didn't notice that the skinny monkey who had just fallen to the ground quickly got up and stretched out his leg to trip her. She felt her foot trip and her body instantly lost balance and suddenly fell forward.

"Ah!" Sun Tingting screamed, instinctively protected her head with both hands, and fell heavily to the ground.

Seeing this, the skinny monkey showed a ferocious smile on his face, stood up and walked towards Sun Tingting. He grabbed Sun Tingting's hair, lifted her up from the ground, and shouted viciously: "You stinky girl, you dare to hit me, today I will make you pay!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and was about to slap Sun Tingting in the face. At this moment, a strong arm suddenly stretched out and tightly grasped his wrist. "Stop!" A deep and magnetic voice sounded, and the skinny monkey's movements stopped instantly.

The skinny monkey was stunned, and when he looked up, he saw a young man in casual clothes standing in front of him, with a stern face and sharp eyes. This man was Qin Tian, ​​who rushed over after hearing the noise and happened to see the skinny monkey about to slap Sun Tingting.

"Who are you?" the skinny monkey asked guiltily. The three of them were all strong, but they were intimidated by a man who didn't look strong.

"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you shouldn't bully a girl here." Qin Tian said coldly, and at the same time increased the strength of his hands. The skinny monkey suddenly felt a sharp pain.

"Ah! It hurts, it hurts so much! You, you let go!" The skinny monkey screamed in pain and his face turned pale.

Qin Tian ignored him and turned to look at Sun Tingting: "Are you okay?"

Sun Tingting shook her head, indicating that she was fine. She looked at Qin Tian in front of her, and an inexplicable sense of security surged in her heart. Although she didn't know this man, at this moment he was like a mountain blocking her way, making her feel very at ease.

"Thank you." Sun Tingting said in a low voice.

"You're welcome. I'm just helping others when I see injustice." Qin Tian said with a calm smile, "But these guys don't look like good people. Let's leave here quickly."

Sun Tingting nodded in agreement. She didn't want to stay here any longer, in case she ran into any more trouble.

However, at this moment, the boss wearing sunglasses suddenly attacked. He stabbed Qin Tian with a dagger in his hand, shouting: "You dare to meddle in my business? I will make you bleed today!"

Qin Tian frowned, he didn't expect this guy to be so arrogant. He dodged the boss's attack and kicked him on the knee.

"Ah!" The boss screamed, and felt a sharp pain in his knee. He fell to the ground. The dagger flew out of his hand and landed on the grass in the distance.

"Damn it, what are you still standing there for? Come on, kill him!" the boss roared angrily.

However, the only responses he got were the groans of Wood and Skinny Monkey and their frightened eyes.

The two guys were already intimidated by Qin Tian, ​​how could they dare to attack again? Are you kidding! Even the boss is no match for this man, wouldn't they be courting death if they went up? They didn't want to lose their lives for this little money!

Seeing this scene, the boss was completely desperate. He knew that he was bound to be beaten today, and judging from the other party's appearance, it seemed that they would not let them go easily.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of regret.

If they had known that this little girl had such a powerful master protecting her, they should not have taken this job! This is really hitting a wall!
At this moment, Qin Tian had walked up to the boss, looked down at him, and asked in a cold voice: "Tell me, who sent you here?" Although he stood up to injustice, he would not offend people for no reason.

It was obvious that these three people were being instructed by someone, so he wanted to ask for clarification. It would be bad if there was any misunderstanding. After all, he was in school now and didn't want to get into any trouble.

"I...we..." The boss hesitated, not knowing how to answer. If he told the truth, the employer would definitely not let them go; but if he lied, the man in front of him would definitely not let them go either. This put him in a dilemma.

"What? You don't want to say it?" Qin Tian raised his eyebrows and his voice became a little colder, "Then I will beat you until you say it!" As he said that, he raised his foot and was about to kick the boss.

However, at this moment, Sun Tingting suddenly spoke up: "Wait! Stop hitting him! I know who sent them!"

Qin Tian stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Sun Tingting: "You know?"

Sun Tingting nodded, then pointed at herself and said, "Who else could it be? Of course it's me!"

Qin Tian was stunned at first, then he reacted and said with a bit of a smile: "You mean you hired someone to beat yourself up?" This girl is too good at playing, isn't she? What's this operation? Directed and acted by herself?
Sun Tingting rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily, "Of course not! How could I hire someone to beat me up? I mean I know who wants to deal with me."

As she spoke, she cast her gaze towards a corner in the distance and said coldly, "Come out! I know you are there!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a figure came out from the corner. It was a girl in a white dress, with a sweet and lovely appearance, but at this moment her face was full of viciousness and resentment.

Li Mengyao, the girl who had a grudge against Sun Tingting before, gnashed her teeth and said, "Sun Tingting, you are so lucky! I couldn't even deal with you like this!"

She originally planned to take this opportunity to teach Sun Tingting a lesson and take some photos or videos so that Sun Tingting would not be able to hold her head up in school.

But she never expected that Sun Tingting would be protected by such a master, which made her plan completely fail. How could she not be furious?

"Li Mengyao, how dare you show up!" Sun Tingting was furious when she saw Li Mengyao, "I'm telling you, if anything goes wrong with me today, my dad will never let you go!"

"Humph, do you think I'm afraid?" Li Mengyao snorted disdainfully, "Your father is just a small policeman, what's so great about him? Let me tell you, my family has plenty of money, even if they do something to you, we can still handle it!"

"You!" Sun Tingting was so angry that she was speechless. She didn't expect Li Mengyao to be so arrogant and completely disregard the law.

At this time, Qin Tian spoke up: "Okay, stop arguing. Li Mengyao, right? I don't care how big your family background is. Since I encountered this incident today, I can't just ignore it. It's wrong for you to bully your classmates like this, do you know that?" (End of this chapter)
