A week before the final exams, the last math class in the afternoon ended. The math teacher, Zhang Jun, put down his chalk and looked at the second-to-last row by the window." Pei Ruoqing, bring the math practice questions to my office.”
Zhang Jun was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was slightly plump and had an average personality. He didn't look particularly outstanding, but because of his relationship with one of the school leaders, he had been transferred to S City High School. Fortunately, although he was not outstanding, he could not pick out any mistakes. He had stayed in the rich school for five years. Of course, Pei Ruoqing had heard all of this from the female teacher in the office.
According to the usual schedule, they would be dismissed at five o'clock, and Zhang Jun would let him go at half past five. However, it was almost six o'clock today, and he still had no intention of letting him go. So he said,"Teacher, it's getting late. I have to go back."”
As if she had just reacted, she said," Oh, oh, I'm sorry. Let's go now!”
Pei Ruoqing looked at him strangely. She felt that Teacher Yu was a little distracted today. It was even a little strange. Usually, Pei Ruoqing would leave after finishing the questions, but today, Zhang Jun wanted to leave with him. However, Pei Ruoqing was never a busybody. She did not ask much and packed her things to follow him.
"I didn't pay attention to the time," Zhang Jun said."Teacher, I'm very sorry. Please let me send you back. Otherwise, if anything happens, I won't have a good conscience."”
Although Pei Ruoqing felt that it was unnecessary, she could not reject his good intentions. She paused for a moment and said," Then I'll have to trouble Teacher Yu.”
At a place where Pei Ruoqing didn't notice, Zhang Jun's tightly clenched fists relaxed. His eyes cautiously looked around before he said to Pei Ruoqing," My car is at Guyuan Road. Come with me."”
The school was in a good location, with wide roads and a bright view. Guyuan Road was quite a distance away from the school, so Zhang Jun brought Pei Ruoqing to take a shortcut. This road was a little remote. It was an old alley, and there were no longer many people living around.
Just as he turned a corner, a few muscular young men immediately surrounded him. The young man in the lead narrowed his hawk-like eyes dangerously. He looked at Yu Zhangjun mockingly and did not say a word of nonsense. He directly ordered," Beat him up. Just don't kill him."”
One of them looked at Pei Ruoqing and hesitated." What about this child?”
Looking at the ruthless eyes of the leader, Pei Ruoqing's heart sank. These people were not good people.
This type of person was not only rich, but more importantly, they had connections. They could do whatever they wanted under certain rules. He had suffered an undeserved calamity today. He turned to look at Zhang Jun and saw many emotions flashing across his face. Fear, shame, embarrassment…
If Pei Ruoqing still did not understand what was going on, then she would really be stupid.
" Let's fight together," the voice said mockingly." Maybe it's his illegitimate son?"”
Zhang Jun was furious. He gritted his teeth and said,"He's just my student…"
That person did not seem to want to talk nonsense with him and did not want to listen to his explanation. It was as if he had determined that Pei Ruoqing was his illegitimate child. Or perhaps, he just wanted to find an excuse to hit her.
He made a gesture, and the others immediately swarmed forward. Pei Ruoqing narrowed her eyes and stroked the watch on her hand. When did she become so calculative?
Seeing that the fist was about to land on him, Zhang Jun shouted," Pei Ruoqing, run quickly and report to the police…"
Before he could finish his sentence, he was kicked hard in the abdomen." Heh, do you think it'll work?”
Pei Ruoqing glanced at Zhang Jun subtly." Stop. Who are you? What is your motive? Why are you blocking Zhang laoshi and me here?"”
The leader looked at Pei Ruoqing." You're smart, but it's a pity that you're with Zhang Jun. You can't escape unscathed.”
As they spoke, the few of them surrounded Pei Ruoqing. Pei Ruoqing sighed silently. He should have trained normally. Otherwise, he would not have lost the chance to resist and escape at this moment. However, being beaten passively was not his style.
The leader looked at Pei Ruoqing, who did not say anything but kept resisting, and Zhang Jun, who was being beaten up but kept wailing, with interest. He laughed mockingly." Alright, stop it. Who will sign my sister's divorce agreement after you kill her?"”
"Zhang Jun, there are some things that are not good for you if you drag it out. If you know what's good for you, you won't have to endure these beatings!”The man left the alley with his men.
Pei Ruoqing staggered to her feet and turned to look at Zhang Jun. He wanted to see what Zhang laoshi was up to.
"Teacher Zhang, how are you?"
Zhang Jun flipped over and laid on the ground. There were no wounds on his face. If it weren't for his messy clothes and pale face, it would have been impossible to tell that he had just been beaten up!
"I'm sorry, Student Pei. I've implicated you.”Zhang Jun looked apologetic and said," Call your family and ask them to pick you up. I might not be able to send you off…"
"Teacher Zhang, let's go to the hospital first.”
"No need…" Zhang Jun waved his hand dejectedly."We're used to it. We have medicine at home. They didn't kill us. We'll be fine in a couple of days."”
"Then I'll call a car for you to send you home!”
"Don't worry about me. You'd better call your family quickly!”Zhang Jun struggled to get up and nudged Pei Ruoqing, indicating for him to hurry up.
Pei Ruoqing helped Zhang Jun to the main road and hailed a car for him. Zhang Jun got into the car and said," Hurry up and go home!”
After the car disappeared, Pei Ruoqing took out her phone and sent a message. Then, she prepared to take the bus home.
Sitting on the bus, Pei Ruoqing realized that something was wrong. There were two gazes that kept glancing at him. At first, he did not pay much attention to them. However, when he thought about what had happened earlier, he became vigilant.
The voice notification rang again and again. The passengers got up and down, but the two gazes never disappeared. Pei Ruoqing quietly lowered her head and played with her phone, but in reality, she was texting Li Zhao.
Pei Ruoqing said,"Uncle Li, I'm being followed. Wait for me at the bus stop at the entrance of the neighborhood."”
He wasn't confident that he could take care of these two people, but someone could, and it would be better if they went through the proper process.
Li Zhao was the chief of S City's police station. He was a criminal investigator and had first-class investigative skills. If the owner of those two gazes was really following him, then he should not go back. He should go to the police station for a cup of tea.
Just as he was thinking about what happened today, Li Zhao replied," Don't act rashly. I'll be there soon."”
"Alright."
He and Li Zhao knew each other partly because of his father's relationship, and also because Li Zhao was responsible for the safety of the few competitions he had participated in.
No matter how far the journey was, there would still be a time to arrive. Moreover, the distance between The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China and Sea Sky Garden was not too far. Pei Ruoqing stood up when he heard the next stop notification. At the same time, two people moved. He glanced at the faces of the two people unintentionally. One was wearing a cap and the other was wearing a mask. He could not see their faces clearly, but he was sure that they were adult men.
These two people were very ordinary and had no special characteristics when placed in a crowd. If Pei Ruoqing was still a child, he might not have noticed anything strange. Unfortunately, he was not.
Before he got out of the car, he sent another message: "I'll go first. Uncle Li, you follow from behind. Let's see what their goal is." She had just finished typing the last word when she arrived at the station. Pei Ruoqing got off the car, and indeed, the two of them followed suit.
There was still some distance between the bus stop and the residential area, and there were almost no people on this journey. Who didn't have a private car? Very few people would take the bus, and this part of the road was a loophole left by Pei Ruoqing. He already knew that these two people were definitely following him, but he did not know if their purpose was just to monitor him or something else. For example, kidnapping.
Therefore, he deliberately went alone. There were few passers-by here, so it was the best place to make a move. With the former captain of the Criminal Investigation Unit and the current provincial police chief following behind him, he was not worried about his own safety.
He deliberately slowed down to give the people behind him more time to think. After a while, he realized that he was getting closer and closer to the two of them. Pei Ruoqing deliberately quickened her pace and even ran two steps. The two of them realized that they had been exposed and gave up on their disguise and rushed forward.
Pei Ruoqing turned her head to take a look. The two men quickly approached.
Pei Ruoqing turned around and looked at them." Who are you? Why are you following me?”
The two men looked at each other. The man in the cap glanced at Pei Ruoqing and saw the figure approaching in his eyes. He exclaimed," Not good, retreat!”
However, it was already too late. Li Zhao had already arrived behind him at some point in time. No matter how skilled they were, they were no match for Director Li, who was once a professional.
Pei Ruoqing could not hear anything else other than the wailing. He widened his eyes and stared at the scene in front of him without blinking. He watched Director Li grab one person and step on another. Finally, a pair of handcuffs were placed on their hands.
The two of them looked at Li Zhao in surprise. A hint of panic flashed in their eyes, but it was quickly suppressed.
However, who was Li Zhao? He had solved countless cases and made the criminals in S City tremble in fear. His analysis of people's micro-expressions was too accurate. He knew that these two people were not newbies. He clapped his hands and smiled." Now that you've offended me, think about how to explain yourself so that you won't suffer!"”
Pei Ruoqing was speechless. Why did she feel like a hooligan?
"You're breaking the law by interrogating him, aren't you?”The masked man glanced at the handcuffs on his hand and looked at Li Xianggu provocatively.
"Yo, criminals these days also know the law?”
The two of them turned their heads away, obviously not wanting to answer him. Li Zhao turned around to look at Pei Ruoqing, his resolute face turning serious." I've already reported the case. Be prepared to receive a message.”
Pei Ruoqing nodded." I understand. Thank you for today, Uncle Li."”
Li Zhao sized Pei Ruoqing up." Are you hurt?”
Pei Ruoqing shook her head." I'm fine.”
"Your father already knows about this. Hurry up and go back. Don't make him anxious. I'm going to send them to Bureau J too.”
"Alright."
Seeing Li Zhaokai, Pei Ruoqing turned around and went home. Just as she was about to open the door with her keys, the door opened from the inside before she could touch the armrest.
Pei Yuan Shao was still holding the phone in his hand. His gaze fell on Pei Ruoqing's face, deep and cold. He said to the person on the phone," She's already here. Thank you so much for today." Mm, we'll talk in detail when we have time."
Pei Ruoqing lowered her eyes. It was self-evident who the caller was. It could not be anyone else other than Li Zhao. Moreover, this matter could not be hidden.
Pei Yuan Shao didn't say anything. He gave him a heavy glance and turned to leave. Pei Ruoqing's heart turned cold. She did not dare to hesitate and quickly followed.
Pei Yuan Shao did not go to the study nor did he stay in the living room. Instead, he went straight to Pei Ruoqing's room.”
"Yes." Pei Ruoqing did not dare to be negligent. She took a change of clothes and went to the bathroom.
In less than ten minutes, Pei Ruoqing came out refreshed. The loose pajamas made his figure look even thinner. Pei Yuan Shao narrowed his eyes and looked at him. It seemed like he had to train with this little brat every day.
"Take off your clothes."
Pei Ruoqing paused." Dad?”
Pei Yuan Shao looked at Pei Ruoqing without saying a word and his expression was very ugly.
Pei Ruoqing pursed her lips and unbuttoned her pajamas, revealing a few bruises and bruises. When Pei Yuanshao saw the large bruise on Pei Ruoqing's abdomen, his face completely darkened.
"Dad, don't be angry. I'm fine.”Pei Ruoqing put on her clothes and said softly.
Pei Yuanshao's face darkened." From tomorrow onwards, I'll get someone to pick you up."”
Pei Ruoqing frowned and opened her mouth to object. However, when she saw Pei Yuanshao's gaze, she nodded.
Pei Yuan Shao's expression eased a little." What happened today?”
Pei Ruoqing told him everything that had happened today, including her own guesses.
Pei Yuan Shao nodded, indicating that he understood,"You are not allowed to act on your own in the future. Rest early. Leave today's matters to me."”，She then left Pei Ruoqing's room.
A few days later, he was detained for gambling and fighting. Later, he found out that the bar owned by the leader was suspected of drug trafficking and was detained for investigation.
These things seemed to have been suddenly revealed. They came quickly and fiercely. Before anyone could react, everything had already been settled.
Zhang Jun was marking the math homework of Class 2 when he heard the news. A strange look flashed across his eyes, and he slowly closed them. His body relaxed as he leaned back against the leather chair.
Chu Junyi looked at Zhang Jun, who was in a good mood, and then at Pei Ruoqing." Have you been with Teacher Zhang all this time?"”
Who knew that Pei Ruoqing would look up at Chu Junyi in surprise when she heard this. Zhang Jun had said that he had greeted Chu Junyi.
Pei Ruoqing suppressed the thoughts in her heart and answered,""Two weeks ago, Teacher Zhang said that he wanted to come up with more questions for the students to practice and asked me to help.”
Chu Junyi felt that it was strange. In her opinion, Zhang Jun was not a particularly responsible teacher. He did his job properly and did not care about anything else. Why would he specially ask Pei Ruoqing to help him set the questions and practice for the students? But no matter what, it was a good thing to care about the students 'results. Moreover, this person was her junior brother. She could not say anything to object. He only exhorted,"Then you have to help him well. Don't let down Teacher Zhang's painstaking efforts."”
Pei Ruoqing looked at Zhang Jun's smiling face and nodded." I will."”
However, on the afternoon of Pei Ruoqing's last exam, an accident happened.
Chu Junyi looked sharply at the two uninvited guests in front of her." No matter what, please wait for the students to finish their exams.”
A middle-aged man near the door was starting to get impatient." Madam, we've been waiting for almost an hour. Halfway through the court session, the witness had not arrived. What was this?”
Chu Junyi refused to budge." Shouldn't we have informed them earlier? Why did they only inform them at the last minute? Besides, my student can refuse, right?”
A lawyer with an intern tag next to the middle-aged man said,""The defendant said that the witness told him that he would testify in court.”
Chu Junyi was about to die from anger. She still did not know who they wanted Pei Ruoqing to testify for. This group of people refused to sue her no matter what, saying that they were protecting the client's privacy.
Heh, did he really think that she had no legal knowledge? He couldn't ask anything else, but couldn't he tell her his name?
Seeing that the matter was in a deadlock, the middle-aged man went out to take a call. When he came back, his expression eased a lot. He said to the intern," The witness is the son of the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee. Please wait a little longer."”As he spoke, he muttered softly," No wonder that scumbag said that even if he couldn't get the property, he could get a sum of compensation.”
When Chu Junyi heard the words " Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee," her eyes became sharper." You guys…what are your motives? Since you know Pei Ruoqing's identity, if anything happens to him, none of you will be able to get away with it.”
The middle-aged man glared at Chu Junyi impatiently, as if he had never seen a woman as stubborn as her." I say, this teacher, there are some things that you should not meddle in. You can't afford to meddle in them.”
Chu Junyi was so angry that she laughed. How dare a second-rate lawyer look down on others? She made a call in front of the two of them." An Chengxi, your junior brother has been bullied. Do as you see fit!"”
Without waiting for An Chengxi's response, she made another call. This time, her tone was much calmer." Uncle-Master, do you know who Little Ruo is going to testify for?”
Pei Yuan Shao paused for a moment when he heard this. His voice was so calm that there was no trace of emotion." Wait for my news."”
Fifteen minutes later, Pei Yuanshao called back." It's your school's teacher, Zhang Jun. Little Chu, accompany Little Ruo to court first. It shouldn't be a big deal."
Hearing Pei Yuan Shao say this, Chu Junyi heaved a sigh of relief." I asked Cheng Xi to come over.”
"Alright."
After hanging up the phone, the exam just ended. The other teachers in the office had invigilators, and only Chu Junyi was in charge of patrolling, so she was the only one in the office. She looked at the two of them and said in an unfriendly tone," The exam is over. Follow me."”
When the two of them saw Pei Ruoqing coming down from the examination hall, they sized him up and smiled." Hello, Student Pei Ruoqing. Last Tuesday evening, Mr. Zhang Jun was subjected to illegal violence by a group of people at the school gate. Now, he needs you to prove it for him. Are you willing to help your teacher?"
The first part was still alright, but when she heard the last part, Chu Junyi secretly cursed him for being shameless." It's his freedom whether he testifies or not.”
This person deliberately mentioned that Zhang Jun was his teacher. It was only natural for a student to help his teacher. If he didn't help, he would be ungrateful. A man who was only a few decades old had actually kidnapped a child out of morality. Chu Junyi felt her heart burn with rage.
Pei Ruoqing understood what was going on and said to Chu Junyi," Teacher, don't worry. I'll just make a trip.”
How could Chu Junyi not be worried? It was obvious that the two of them were up to no good. She frowned slightly." I've already told your senior brother to bring you there." They should be at the school gate by now."
Pei Ruoqing felt a little helpless. Chu Junyi really treated him like a child and protected him. However, a warmth rose in his heart. He smiled and comforted her," I know. With Senior Brother's Soul Calming Talisman, we can block all evil spirits.”
Chu Junyi was speechless." Yizhi, I'm sorry. I've led your junior brother astray!
Meanwhile, Senior Brother An, who was regarded as the one who could block all evil spirits, was already waiting quietly at the school gate. When they arrived, Chu Junyi told him the whole story, and An Chengxi brought his men to follow the two people in front of him to the court.
On the way, An Chengxi glanced at the child in the passenger seat who was a little silent. He asked," What's up with that Teacher Zhang?”
Pei Ruoqing told him everything that happened?。An Chengxi nodded, indicating that he understood. However, he was very angry in his heart. Since when was it his junior brother's turn to be bullied and schemed against by others? Why didn't he take a look at himself? That's right, he was so protective.
When they reached the court, An Chengxi was stopped outside." Little Ruo, tell me the truth when you're inside. You're just a child.”
Pei Ruoqing understood what An Chengxi meant. Firstly, she wanted him to have a clear conscience. Secondly, she wanted him to not be afraid of threats.
With An Chengxi's keen senses, he could already sense that something was amiss. There seemed to be something wrong with Zhang laoshi!
In the midst of Zhang Jun's anticipation and a hint of smugness, Pei Ruoqing stood on the witness stand. However, when he looked up, he saw someone he did not expect to be sitting at the plaintiff's lawyer's table. That person did not look like the meticulous and considerate person in his image at all. She was capable and professional, and her eyes were sharp and spirited. At this moment, that person was also looking at him in a daze.
It was Song Yuyan!
Song Yuyan did not expect that the person who made the entire court wait for more than an hour would be Pei Ruoqing. She finally understood why the defendant, Zhang Jun, insisted that this witness could prove that he was beaten up by the plaintiff's brother.
At the thought of this, Song Yuyan's elegant face turned into a mocking smile. She had only intended to help the plaintiff, Chen Shanshan, get a divorce. As for Zhang Jun's compensation, she had no intention of interfering. After all, she did not agree with Chen Shanshan's brother, Ben, who had brought people to threaten the defendant.
