Xiao Qin only asked about my call with my dad out of curiosity. I just made a random answer saying it was a text about data charges and Xiao Qin did not ask anymore questions. It could be because she knew she was no longer my girlfriend, so she was not qualified to invade my privacy.
Ren Peng and Winnie chatted about Xiao Qin’s androphobia. Winnie did not believe that Xiao Qin’s androphobia would also act up against her cousin, so Ren Peng deliberately stood next to Xiao Qin and she was immediately too scared to speak.
“What’s up with that?” Winnie worried for Xiao Qin, “How inconvenient if you’re even afraid of your own cousin! Isn’t he older than you by ten years, then he shouldn’t be someone of similar age.”
Ren Peng said helplessly, “I’m only five years older than Xiao Qin, I don’t look that old, right?”
“If, if they are ten years older, then I’m generally not afraid.” Xiao Qin forced herself to say something in front of her cousin and Winnie, “I’m not afraid of people like teacher Yu teacher or Peng TouSi.”
In fact, even for boys of the same age, if they are not masculine enough, like Shu Zhe, then she probably wouldn’t be afraid either.
I suddenly remembered something very important related to Shu Zhe.
I can forget about trying to check the text message from the telecommunications bureau. Where can I go to find a police department to come forward and prove the text message is involved with a major criminal case?
The only acquaintance I have who works in public security is Constable Ma of the narcotics division, but could he help me? What if he finds out I sent a text to Huo ZhenBang before about Xiao Qin’s birthday gift, then he will purge me as if I’m a part of the triads.
The only hope now is the cla.s.s leader’s own cell phone.
Although the possibility isn’t high, there is still a one in 10,000 chance that the cla.s.s leader did not delete the text from her own phone. Or even if it was deleted, it was not cleared permanently from the phone.
She was riding in a car arranged by Peng TouSi back to the city, to visit her brother who was living in their aunt’s house.
So Shu Zhe is now a key person. I can contact Shu Zhe and tell him to peek at his sister’s phone. In case the text message has not been deleted, I could just tell Shu Zhe to resend it to me, then the cla.s.s leader’s info will fall right back into my hands.
Wahahahahahahaha, now let’s see how the cla.s.s leader will hold up her head in front of me. Aren’t you a Justice Devil? Aren’t you supposed to always keep your word? Then hurry up and do exactly what you promised me.
Will she cook me potatoes and beef stew while wearing a rabbit girl costume or will she be my cat-eared maid for a day? I’m so excited, my heart… d.a.m.n, almost had a heart attack again.
I impatiently walked to a hospital wall and dialed Shu Zhe’s cell phone.
I was confident Shu Zhe will comply with my orders, since it was a common occurrence for him to sellout his sister and this matter is a piece of cake for him.
In the end, the call didn’t go through. All I heard: “The number you are calling is either switched off or not reachable.”
I don’t know why Shu Zhe turned off his phone in the middle of the day. I called the cla.s.s leader’s house with a glimmer of hope, but no one picked up.
It seems like Shu Zhe is still at his aunt’s house. I don’t know their aunt’s phone number, so that’s bad.
I had to send a text message to Shu Zhe: “Call me as soon as you see this.”
I was worried it would not attract enough attention from Shu Zhe, so I changed the text message to, “Call me back immediately after you see this, I want to give you money.”
Now, there’s no way Shu Zhe the gold digger will not return my phone call.
I did not expect, at this time, Shu Zhe’s phone had been confiscated by someone.
He was also being coerced and treated horribly.
His sister did not become a cat-ear maid, but instead he was forced to wear the cat-ear maid costume while serving others.
Of course I didn’t know at the time, I just felt a bit regretful because Shu Zhe’s cell phone was turned off.
Suddenly a series of shrill inquiries came from the left. Me and the others turned our heads to look, to find that it was the princ.i.p.al of the special education school being surrounded left and right by some sharp-tongued reporter and the cameraman he had brought along.
“Princ.i.p.al, princ.i.p.al, may I ask, you tricked junior high school students to come to the uninhabited Cui Song Mountain for a field trip, which resulted in a horrific incident where a student almost fell off a cliff, how do you feel?”
The princ.i.p.al was not good at talking and did feel responsible, so he hesitated when the mic was handed to him, “I, it’s true I haven’t paid enough attention to safety issues…”
The reporter laughed, “I heard that you spread rumors that there were rare b.u.t.terflies worth $500,000 on Cui Song Mountain, which attracted countless people to come and catch them, making a fortune for the hotel that’s under your name…”
“No, it’s not under my name.” The princ.i.p.al hurriedly explained, “The hotel is for all employees of the special education school, the income will also be used to solve the problem of staff wages that are currently in arrears…”
The reporter’s eyes instantly became bloodshot as if he had dug up treasure: “Huh, I can see that you seem educated and well-mannered, but you actually haven’t been paying the staff’s wages?”
The microphone was forced closer, almost poking into the princ.i.p.al’s chin.
“Then may I ask, after you stuffed your staff’s salary into your own pockets, what did you do? Did you go looking for prost.i.tutes, how much did it cost a night?”
The report continued to chastise the princ.i.p.al with more embarra.s.sing questions, then he beckoned the cameraman to point the camera at himself.
“h.e.l.lo, everyone in front of the TV.” The reporter temporarily took back the microphone he was holding and introduced himself in a serious manner facing the camera, “I am Zhao Yao, a special correspondent of ‘Dong Shan News Station’. I am following up on the incident where a junior high school student almost fell off the cliff in Cui Song Mountain. Please follow us as we expose the hidden darkness to everyone.”
Screw you, I only fell into a pit, not down a cliff! Also, your name is a h.o.m.onym for ‘creating rumors’, weren’t you the reporter who talking s.h.i.t in interviews the last time my dad and Auntie Ren were blocked in the hotel, and in the end Auntie Ren knocked you down.
“May I ask the princ.i.p.al, do you have any children of your own?” Zhao Yao once again rudely shifted over the microphone.
The princ.i.p.al was not good at dealing with the media and did not notice the trap lurking in the question.
“I have a 7-year-old daughter, my wife takes her to kindergarten every day…”
Zhao Yao’s eyes were immediately filled with contempt, “You are also a parent, but in order to have money for yourself to find prost.i.tutes, a junior high school student almost fell off a cliff, but you’re also withholding staff wages, so your staff’s children don’t have food to eat, do you even have a heart?”
The princ.i.p.al was filled with anger and did not know from where to start explaining, so he vowed:
“Stop spewing nonsense, I did not look for prost.i.tutes. I haven’t taken my own salary either this month. The special education school has had financial difficulties recently, so the staff voluntarily chose to delay wage payments.”
Zhao Yao put on a “who would believe you” expression and mockingly said: “So you mean that your staff voluntarily let themselves and their children starve to save money for you to pay prost.i.tutes?”
“No, we saved money for books, educational materials, and cla.s.sroom repairs. Thanks to the income from the hotel and donations from good people, I’m now able to pay my staff, since we also sold some stretchers and wheelchairs, there’s even a possibility of bonuses…”
Zhao Yao’s mouth opened his mouth wide with a look of having caught the princ.i.p.al of his shortcomings.
“So, because reporters from ‘Dong Shan News’ came to cover the story, you decided to pay your staff. Are you afraid of the power of the media?”
“What does it have to do with you…”
“Of course there is a relationship, there are many corners of society hidden away, where there is a lack of justice, where only we, Dong Shan News, exist.”
Then he faced the camera again and said, “We were just at the just at the Police Department and Fire Department and intercepted four boxes of expensive Hawaiian fruits. They even shifted the blame and said they thought it was regular fruits so they accepted it. What’s even worse was when the firefighters went to Cui Song Mountain they neglected their duties and stole a valuable golden snub-nosed monkey to take back as a pet. How outrageous, in the long run, out country will fall apart!”
Zhao Yao, that’s enough. The police and firefighters partic.i.p.ated in the search and rescue and were scolded by Ai Mi, even if they didn’t get results, they still put in a lot of hard work. Peng TouSi didn’t give them Hawaiian fruits as payment for the rescue, at best, it was to express grat.i.tude and also apologize! Plus, the monkey the fire brigade chief brought back was not a golden snub-nosed monkey, it was just a regular albino monkey that was abandoned! Are unscrupulous journalists like you unafraid of the wrath of the Heavens when it rains?
I couldn’t watch anymore, so I was about to go over to help the princ.i.p.al, but then gramps Ren came out of the entrance of the hospital first.
He did not look very happy, I’m afraid he probably used inappropriate words to urge Auntie Ren to hurry up and get married and was kicked out.
The sound of Zhao Yao’s interview was very loud, so he frowned and looked towards them.
Zhao Yao slammed the public security department, the fire department, the education department, but that wasn’t enough for him and he continued to say:
“The profession of teaching is supposed to be sacred, it should be the engineer of the human soul. The princ.i.p.al, should have been the best engineer among the engineers, but the world is deteriorating. The princ.i.p.al opened a room with elementary school students, delayed staff wages, and used the money to find prost.i.tutes, can our country still be saved?”
“Speaking of prost.i.tutes, I am sadly reminded of the women’s MMA world champion, Miss Ren HongLi, who once brought honor to our country. Due to the nonfeasance of the General Administration of Sports, she retired and had no choice to become a prost.i.tute. How sad, I heard she was caught on the scene last time and apparently the price was ¥2000 a night…”
Zhao Yao, you’re screwed! The wrath of the heavens has arrived! I can’t believe you said Auntie Ren was a prost.i.tute right in front of gramps Ren and her daughter.
Gramps Ren and Xiao Qin’s eyes were instantly filled with bloodl.u.s.t!
