“The police station has charged the case and said that they would handle this incident immediately.
“Ah Ze, do you think your video took its effect? You’re so smart, Sister loves you to death.”
“Let’s not talk about this first; are you coming tonight?”
“I’m not. I’m too tired from dancing in the morning. Why should I go?”
“Come and be my servant.”
“Scram!”
His sister ended the call.
Qin Ze heaved a sigh of relief. Even without the video, he believed that with Old Master’s connections, the issue would also be solved; but it would be very troublesome. He really did not understand what that Wang Guomin was thinking. Why did he think that he could cover up everything? However, humans were like so: after they held power in their hands, their egos would grow. Besides, as his biological nephew was involved, he could only take the risk and set out on a wave of dangerous operations.
Eleven in the morning at SUFE (Shanghai University of Finance and Economics)…
Professor Li had lessons in the morning and did not return to the classroom so the few people were more relaxed. A girl was pressing on her phone screen, and after some time, she gasped, “Hey, hey. Did you see the video? It’s the… the… police door that was blown up recently.” She gave them a nickname on her own.
“I heard about it, but I’ve been too busy with work these days and didn’t have time to watch it. Yesterday, my group chat with my friends was flooded with relevant messages. Today as well.” A boy laughed.
The girl took a deep breath. “Then, I bet you didn’t see the video. Oh my god, it’s Qin Ze. It’s Qin Ze. The one who was stabbed was Qin Ze.”
The entire classroom fell into silence. The next moment, they yelled, “Impossible.”
“The one who got stabbed was Qin Ze? So he didn’t come because he was injured?”
“Professor Li didn’t even mention it…”
“Where’s the video? Let me see. Let me see, quickly.”
The girl was also pretty taken aback. “I’ll send it to the group. You can see it for yourselves.”
The crowd pressed on the video. It was slanted and should have been taken in secret. The background was a ward, and a middle-aged police officer stepped inside followed by the ferocious middle-aged man and lady.
“I want to see your identification.”
“Police Officer, Wang Guomin comrade from Jiangwan Police Station, right? Ask whatever you need to ask.”
Upon hearing the voice at the opening of the video, they could confirm that it was Qin Ze.
Afterward, he recorded his statement: SUFE Student, Qin Ze.
That was right; it really was him.
The classroom quieted down, and everyone lowered their heads to watch the video. When they were watching it, they felt shocked, curious, and nosy. However, after they finished the video, the crowd was furious.
They were such a bully.
What was the big deal of having connections? Could he stab people just because he had connections? He had even bitten the person back and blackmailed them to pay for the medical bills.
Analyzing from a psychological perspective, this was ‘resonance for the weak’. That incident of the police officer being so pompous to that extent… what if it had happened to them? Once they put themselves in his shoes, their hearts would naturally explode with rage and fear.
The classroom was filled with scolding. “There are so many rascals now.”
“He’s too overboard and should not be forgiven.”
“Hmph, black sheep of the group. He should be punished.”
“Let’s complain on the Internet.”
Yang Chen was the only one who did not participate, and something flashed in his eyes.
Amidst their discussions, the time was already 11:30. When Professor Li pushed the door open and walked in, his eyes reflected a scary glare. He said sternly, “What’s the matter? Why are you all so noisy?”
A girl said in a petite voice, “Professor, we were just discussing Qin Ze’s incident. We just found out about it.”
Professor Li nodded and sighed according to her topic. “It’s hard to avoid black sheep.
“Everyone has been doing quite well these few days. Sunday is the deadline to submit the project, which means that there are not many days left for us to gather together. At this point, let me wish all of you a bright future ahead…” Professor Yang continued with his speech eloquently.
“All the group leaders in the various groups are very outstanding. Yang Chen, your skills are the best and I do think highly of you. I hope you can be this stable in the future and walk towards your bright future.”
Yang Chen stood up, and his face was filled with smiles. “Thank you Professor, I will.”
Yang Chen was elated and had a radiant face. Yesterday, he had stayed up throughout the night to finish what Qin Ze had left behind; and this morning, Professor Li had complimented him. Without Qin Ze as his stumbling block, his status had recovered. After the model was built, he could receive his first pot of gold from the internship. According to his calculations, he could get around five to six thousand dollars; and it could make up for the money he lost a few days ago.
Today was Thursday, and there were three days left before everyone went their separate ways.
The crowd applauded; some filled with hope and others, sorrow.
Professor Li pressed his hands together, and the entire classroom immediately quieted down. Just as he was about to say ‘everyone, let’s eat’; there were two knocks on the classroom door.
The bespectacled Wang Shiyu was seated nearest to the door. Normally, she played the role of the concierge. She stood up to open the door and was shocked to see two comrades wearing the police uniform.
The police officer asked, “Is Yang Chen here?”
Inside the classroom, everyone looked over.
Police?
Why would the police come here?
“Yes… he is.” Wang Shiyu turned around and looked at Yang Chen who was pale.
The police officer walked in, and the older one took out his identification. He boomed, “You’re Yang Chen? Please show us your identification card.”
Yang Chen took out his identification from his bag. Throughout the whole process, his face was as white as a sheet and did not have any color.
“You’re currently suspected of instigating an offense. Please follow us back to the station.” The police officer glanced at his identification card and returned it to him while keeping his own card safely.
The other police officer took out his handcuffs and was going to put it on Yang Chen.
Suddenly, Yang Chen moved back to hide and shouted, “I didn’t break the law. I didn’t break the law. Why are you arresting me?”
His eyes were filled with terror like a mouse that had nowhere to go.
“Be honest and go back with us.” The police officer pressed on his shoulders and swiftly cuffed his hands.
Inside the classroom, everyone’s eyes were wide open; and their mouth agape as they were shocked by the scene.
What was going on?
Previously, they were still emotional that Qin Ze’s incident had happened just beside them. Now, this happened in front of their faces.
What did Yang Chen do? Instigating an offense?
Everyone present was university students so they vaguely knew about the law. If he was handcuffed, it meant that he had to bear criminal responsibility.
Professor Li’s face darkened. As the school’s professor, he could not take it as if he did not see anything. “Two comrades, what crime did my student do?”
The older police officer took a look at him and thought that his attitude was decent so he explained, “We believe that he had instigated a crime, which is the one that was blown up on the Internet about the leader at Hongkou Police Station covering up for a criminal. The convict had confessed that he was instructed by a graduating student—Yang Chen—from SUFE’s Finance Faculty.
Professor Li was stunned.
All the students present were taken aback.
They could not digest this information in such a short time. Yang Chen had instigated someone to hurt Qin Ze? Just because of that small thing? How narrow-minded and petty was this person?
Even though Qin Ze and Yang Chen did not see eye to eye, they had no actual conflict; and they did not even interact much. If one must say that there was a grudge between them, it would be because Qin Ze took over Yang Chen’s work. However, that was due to Yang Chen making a mistake first; what did it have to do with Qin Ze?
Everyone present all looked at Yang Chen in unison as if with the same gaze: I did not expect you were this type of person.
Yang Chen’s heart was as good as dead.
…
Five in the evening, Qin Baobao knocked off from work an hour earlier and went home first to keep her dance clothes. She did not dare to bring them to the hospital as it would be troublesome if her mother had found out. After showering for half an hour, she changed into a white, short-sleeved shirt with the words ‘Comical Brother’ written on it and off-white jeans that wrapped around her voluptuous behind. The shape of her long legs was beautifully traced.
Qin Baobao’s figure was mesmerizing enough, and with ‘Comical Brother’ that would make nine out of ten males smile knowingly, more men had turned to look at her. Of course, Qin Baobao would not buy such a T-shirt; it was Qin Ze that bought it for her.
Qin Ze bought it for her last year and said, “Sister, Sister, I saw a T-shirt online, and it was definitely custom-made for you.”
When Qin Baobao heard it, she was very happy and thought in her heart, ‘my brother does think for me’.
A few days later, the product came in an express mail.
Qin Baobao rolled her eyes and said, “What do you mean ‘custom-made’ for me? Go and die.”
However, it was rare that her brother bought clothes for her so Qin Baobao accepted it unwillingly.
She took the elevator and to the district parking lot. From the reflection on her BMW’s side mirror, she could see the flirtatious ‘Comical Brother’ protruding out by her chest. Qin Baobao spat and was starting to regret wearing that shirt out.
When Qin Baobao reached the hospital, it was already 6:30; and her mother was washing her brother’s underwear in the toilet while her brother was lying on the bed and playing on his computer. He looked up. “You’re here.”
Qin Baobao threw her bag onto the couch before she directly lay on it and stretched. She grumbled, “I’m so tired.”
“What’s so tiring about sitting in an office all day?” Her mother’s naggy voice sounded from the toilet.
The siblings looked at each other and smiled. This was a secret between them.
Qin Ze felt that the biggest advantage of his sister learning dancing and singing was that she trained her body until it was very slim and sexy. Even though Qin Baobao did not have much fat in the past, her abs were very soft. Just now when she stretched, she exposed her abs; and it was firm and lean. Not long later, her v-cut abs would appear.
She truly had a thin, wild waist.
“Mom, what time are we going home?” Qin Baobao yelled towards the toilet.
She came to the hospital to send her mother home.
As the end of the term was approaching, Old Master could not stop caring about his student’s work; and his son’s incident had caused him to be exhausted mentally and physically. That’s why the task of fetching his mother was given to their daughter.
“I’ll need a while more. Talk to your brother first,” Mother Qin replied.
