Chapter 100 Collecting Evidence

"Unregistered...precise positioning..." Gu Qiuyue repeated these two key points in a low voice, and the doubts in her heart suddenly condensed into cold substance.

Bai Xiaolian's provocation was vicious but stupid, like a buzzing fly.

But this way of entering the school reveals a carefully planned malice and potential danger. This is by no means a coincidence!

She immediately realized that someone in the school was "opening the door" for her and deliberately letting Bai Xiaolian in, and the target was her, Gu Qiuyue. A chill of being secretly spied on and plotted against quietly crept up her spine.

"Lili," Gu Qiuyue's tone was unusually calm, with a sense of impending doom and gloom. "Please keep an eye out for any unfamiliar or suspicious-looking people hanging around our building these past few days, especially..."

Her eyes sank slightly, and a name clearly emerged in her mind, "Especially, those who have had contact with Liu Mei."

Zhou Li immediately understood and nodded vigorously. "Okay! Liu Mei? Humph, I guessed she had something to do with it! What did that incident (referring to the scandal of Liu Mei getting pregnant before marriage) have to do with you? Why did it bite you like a mad dog?"

"Isn't she biting me? She probably hates everyone in our dormitory equally. After all, when she had a miscarriage, none of us cared about her, and we even ostracized her together." Gu Qiuyue said lightly.

Zhou Li was so angry that she laughed. "She did such a shameless thing herself, and she still expected the students in our dormitory to take care of her during her postpartum period? No wonder she looked at me with a scary look every few times I ran into her."

"Normal people like us can't understand the way this kind of person thinks," Gu Qiuyue reassured him, "After all, her principles of doing things are different from ours."

Zhou Li nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, I will be careful these days, and I will ask Liu Fang and the others to help me pay attention as well."

Gu Qiuyue nodded and said thank you, then stood up and walked straight to the message room at the school gate.

The afternoon sun shone in obliquely, falling on the mottled wooden table in the message room, and the smell of dust floated in the air.

She wore a polite smile and knocked on the window. "Hello, comrade. I'm Gu Qiuyue from the Economics Department. I'd like to inquire about the specific regulations and procedures for non-campus personnel to register for admission to campus. The department may need assistance from outside experts on some information, so I'd like to understand it in advance."

The security guard on duty was Uncle Wang, an old comrade with gray hair and a serious face.

Hearing Gu Qiuyue's name, he didn't take it seriously and said casually, "Oh, it's classmate Gu. The rules... are that you have to register your name, purpose, visitor, and departure date with me with a letter of introduction from your employer or valid ID before you can be let in."

"Oh, so, if you come in without registering, does that count as a violation of school rules?" Gu Qiuyue's tone was gentle, but her eyes were as sharp as a knife, tightly locking onto Uncle Wang's expression.

Uncle Wang said in a businesslike manner, "Well... well, in principle, of course it's not possible, but... that afternoon, I happened to have a stomachache, so I went to the restroom in the back for a while. It was Xiao Zhang... the new young security guard who let someone in without registration. When I came back, the person... had already come in. I asked Xiao Zhang, and he said... that a classmate brought him in for an urgent matter, so he didn't ask any more questions..."

An acquaintance greeting? Gu Qiuyue sneered inwardly. This "schoolmate" was about to reveal himself.

"I understand. Thank you, Uncle Wang." Gu Qiuyue nodded, and without asking any more questions, turned and walked towards the duty room near the dormitory building - the young security guard Xiao Zhang usually took his turn to rest there.

When Xiao Zhang was found, he was flipping through the newspaper in a somewhat distracted manner. When he saw Gu Qiuyue coming in, he was obviously panicked and subconsciously wanted to hide.

"Comrade Zhang," Gu Qiuyue said straight to the point, her voice low but penetrating with undeniable force, "that woman who entered the school this afternoon in a red coat and high heels without registering, was it you who let her in?"

Xiao Zhang's face turned pale, and his lips trembled: "I... I..."

"Her name is Bai Xiaolian," Gu Qiuyue said, taking a step closer, her eyes piercing. "After she came in, she came straight to me and spread malicious rumors about me, slandering my husband, a soldier currently serving in the army. She attempted to disrupt a military marriage and sow discord between us. Her actions were extremely despicable!"

The four words "destroying military marriage" were like thunder, making Xiao Zhang's legs go weak.

In this era, the sanctity of military marriage is beyond doubt, and the consequences of being accused of this crime are disastrous.

"I didn't. I didn't know she did this!" Xiao Zhang was so scared that he kept waving his hands, his voice tinged with tears. "It's... it's Liu Mei from the Foreign Languages ​​Department! She... she came to me and said that woman was her cousin and she had something very urgent to tell you, something that was a matter of life and death! She begged me to be flexible and not to register, as it would waste time. She said she would take responsibility and... she even forced a pack of 'Da Qianmen' on me... I... I was confused..."

It was indeed Liu Mei! A cold light flashed in Gu Qiuyue's eyes.

This former roommate was ostracized in the dormitory because of a previous scandal (getting pregnant before marriage) and has always been holding a grudge against me. Now he is using such despicable means to collude with outsiders to take revenge.

"Human lives are at stake?" Gu Qiuyue sneered, each word piercing her heart. "She asked you to be flexible, yet you dared to violate school rules and let someone with unknown origins and intent on disrupting military marriages in to harass military families? Comrade Zhang, do you understand that your actions are, at best, dereliction of duty, and at worst, facilitating the destruction of military marriages and the disruption of campus order? If the security department and the department knew..."

"Student Gu! I was wrong! I really know I was wrong!" Xiao Li completely collapsed, crying, "I'll write a self-criticism! I admit my mistake! It's all Liu Mei's fault! She lied to me! She also said...that woman is not easy to mess with, she...she seemed a little afraid of her, or...like she had some leverage over her..."

After obtaining the key evidence that Xiao Zhang personally admitted and was willing to write a written statement, Gu Qiuyue did not hesitate at all.

There must be zero tolerance for such behavior of betraying one's own country and aiding and abetting evil!

She quickly organized the materials, including Xiao Zhang's letter of apology (briefly describing the process and identifying Liu Mei), her own statement of the situation (emphasizing Bai Xiaolian's malicious remarks and actions that destroyed the military marriage), and Zhou Li's brief testimony as an eyewitness (proving that Bai Xiaolian's entry into the school was abnormal and that she had harassed him).

Holding these heavy "evidences", she walked into the Academic Affairs Office with firm steps.

Facing Mr. Zhao, the teacher in charge of student discipline, Gu Qiuyue recounted the events in a clear and logical manner:

"Teacher Zhao, I want to report Liu Mei, a student in the Foreign Languages ​​Department, under my real name for serious violations of school rules and regulations.

First, she exploited her classmate connections to deceive and instigate security guard Zhang to illegally allow an outsider, Bai Xiaolian (identity pending), to enter the campus without registration. Second, she provided Bai Xiaolian with my detailed address, which led to the outsider's direct access to my dormitory and malicious harassment. Third, Bai Xiaolian's purpose in this trip was to fabricate facts, insult my character, and maliciously fabricate rumors to defame my husband, Comrade Xie Shiyu, an active-duty soldier. Her remarks are suspected of undermining military marriages, which is extremely serious. Not only has it caused me great distress and harm, but it has also severely undermined campus order and the positive atmosphere of supporting military personnel and their families.

She presented the documents one by one: "This is the admission of guilt from guard Zhang, my statement of circumstances, and some testimony from my roommate Zhou Li. The facts are clear and the evidence is irrefutable."
