Chapter 008: The Perfect Young Master
Cough, the innocent will clear themselves, and one who stands upright has no fear of shadows. If he dares to bite back, we will sue him and have him thrown in prison! Zhou Yang raised his head high
Zhou Yang looked up at Chu Qiao Qiao and found that Chu Qiao Qiao was also looking up at Zhou Yang.
Although they are classmates in the same class, there has always been a clear distinction between boys and girls, and they do not cross boundaries. When the two young people are suddenly locked in together, they both feel quite uncomfortable
What is even more detestable is that this individual had previously assaulted a female student from our school two years ago and was apprehended by the Public Security Bureau
It turns out that this criminal is none other than the infamous Second Young Master Zhu Gang, the son of Principal Zhu from County No. 1 High School
"It's late at night; if you confess early, we can finish up sooner," the tall police officer said, growing impatient. "To be honest with you, this time you definitely won't be able to escape. If you come clean, you might suffer less..."
"You two are suspected of intentional injury. Now come with me to the station!" said the tall police officer in a deep voice to Zhou Yang and Chu Qiao Qiao
At that moment, their playful shouts finally attracted the attention of several individuals from the school's security office
"You all understand the policy: leniency for those who confess and severity for those who resist. Speak honestly, why did you intentionally harm Zhu Gang?" The tall police officer questioned with considerable bluntness.
"Comrade police, I truly acted out of a sense of justice!" Zhou Yang recounted the situation at that time truthfully
"Comrade police, I am acting out of righteousness, just ask Chu Qiao Qiao!" Upon hearing that the other party was going to take them to the police station, Zhou Yang, being young and inexperienced, immediately became anxious
Upon hearing Captain Liu's words, Zhou Yang felt a sudden buzzing in his head
Unfortunately, they did not receive Principal Zhu's apology; instead, they were met by two stern-faced police officers, one tall and one short.
Upon seeing this situation, Zhou Yang suspected that the other party must be concealing a weapon or that there were accomplices nearby, thus becoming even more vigilant and ready to respond to any sudden developments
"Is that Zhu Gang? Is your nose bothering you? Do you need to go to the hospital?" Upon seeing that it was Zhu Gang, Captain Liu's originally authoritative and stern voice immediately turned concerned
"Don't waste my time, the two of you go together and discuss it at the station!" The tall police officer displayed considerable impatience
"You don't need to worry, Chu Qiao Qiao. I believe Principal Zhu will come over soon and will definitely apologize to us first," Zhou Yang reassured.
The seniors in the third year of high school once mentioned that Principal Zhu's second son is named Zhu Gang. That fellow may not be competent in legitimate matters, but he is quite skilled in committing crimes
Upon arriving at the police station, Zhou Yang and Chu Qiao Qiao were each assigned to separate interrogations
Before he could finish speaking, the tall officer slammed his hand on the table: "You little rascal, are you deliberately denying it? If it weren't for the fact that you're still a student, I would have already... Hmph! You might as well admit your mistake honestly and clarify things so you can return to school earlier!"
"This time it might implicate you, Zhou Yang!" Chu Qiao Qiao looked at Zhou Yang with her beautiful eyes, her charming face flushed with a hint of crimson. "He just slandered both of us, saying that we were... I am afraid he might turn against us."
Well, if you cooperate with us and honestly confess, you can receive a lighter punishment. Young man, you must not miss this opportunity, the recording officer interjected, "You are a student; as long as you admit it honestly, I guarantee that nothing will happen to you"
Although we have never met, Zhu Gang's name is exceptionally well-known at No. 1 High School
Zhou Yang... the girl who was rescued cried out tremulously, as if a drowning person had suddenly seen a rescuer
"Yes, yes, yes, it was Zhou Yang who saved me..." Chu Qiao Qiao and *Tu* Shu also cried out.
Zhou Yang, feeling helpless, had no choice but to accompany Chu Qiao Qiao and two police officers to the nearby police station
What is going on, what is going on? Captain Liu of the Security Office rushed over with several subordinates, exuding an intimidating aura. He shone a flashlight on a few individuals and sternly inquired.
"Enough! What are you shouting for! Let me tell you the truth, Zhu Gang has already had his nasal bone broken by you, and the assessment report will be out soon. You have already constituted the crime of intentional injury!" said the tall police officer. "Do you know what intentional injury is? It carries criminal responsibility. According to the Criminal Law, causing minor injury through intentional harm can result in imprisonment for up to three years or detention!"
"Captain Liu, this kid has ill intentions towards Chu Qiao Qiao, and I acted out of a sense of justice..." Zhou Yang explained eagerly
"You cannot touch him, Zhou Yang is the one who saved me! He is the one who saved me!" Although Chu Qiao Qiao was frightened, she bravely stood in front of Zhou Yang, as if to protect him, which moved Zhou Yang deeply: this girl, though delicate and petite, is quite loyal in critical moments!
What I just said is all the actual situation, there is absolutely not a single falsehood, I am truly wronged, Officer! I never expected that acting in the interest of justice would lead to a charge of intentional injury, which carries a prison sentence!
Uh... Captain Liu, those two are in a relationship. I just said a word as I passed by, and they hit me with a brick. Sigh... my nasal bone is broken. I... that thug seems to be very familiar with the people at the school. Before Zhou Yang could say anything, he came forward to accuse first.
Zhu Gang has been quite unruly since childhood. Unable to succeed in academics, he enrolled in a martial arts school. Later, unable to endure the hardships there, he sneaked back. Not engaging in labor, agriculture, or business, he specialized in wandering through society, earning the nickname "The Complete Young Master" on the streets. He was well-versed in all vices: drinking, gambling, womanizing, and swindling.
The two individuals locked eyes, Zhou Yang smiled shyly, while Chu Qiao Qiao's face turned even redder, quickly averting her gaze.
Because the deputy director of the county public security bureau, Hu Gongming, is Zhu Gang's maternal uncle, he ultimately arranged for Zhu to be diagnosed with intermittent psychosis and secured his release. It has only been a little over a year since his release, and unexpectedly, he has shown no signs of repentance; now, his old illness has recurred.
"It's you, Chu Qiao Qiao, don't be afraid!" Zhou Yang recognized that the girl he had saved was none other than his classmate, Chu Qiao Qiao
Xiao Zhao, you take Zhu Gang to the hospital first. Xiao Li, you take these two students to the office, Liu Captain instructed. I will go find Principal Zhu first
"It's nothing, nothing at all, I just happened to pass by!" This was the first time he was alone in a room with a female classmate, especially since Chu Qiao Qiao was the renowned school beauty, so Zhou Yang rubbed his hands together, also showing some signs of nervousness
"Well, I really want to thank you this time, Zhou Yang," Chu Qiao said again, her face flushed. Her bright teeth and sparkling eyes, along with her moist cherry lips, made her large, watery eyes brim with gratitude, rendering her even more charming.
"You two, come to my office!" The security guard referred to as Xiao Li by Captain Liu brought Zhou Yang and Chu Qiao Qiao to the office, then closed the door and waited outside for the principal's arrival
Comrade police, I am truly wronged! It was Zhu Gang who was being a rogue, I was just passing by!
Along the way, Zhou Yang was still thinking that it must be that scoundrel Zhu Gang who had complained first. Chu Qiao hadn't even held him accountable yet, and he had already struck back. This time at the police station, I will definitely tell the truth, so that scoundrel can spend another two years in prison
Zhou Yang, this time, thank you... Chu Qiao Qiao's fair and delicate face still showed a hint of fear, with long, fan-like eyelashes adorned with glistening tears, softly expressing her gratitude to Zhou Yang
