Although the big-character poster fully denounced the hooligans for their failed attempt to defile a female comrade, it also clearly stated what the two hooligans said: "The young female teacher of Red Star Primary School instructed them to do so."
Su Pianran ripped off the big-character poster and crumpled it in her hands. "Principal, how is this possible? It's obviously slander!"
Duan Wei's face was grim. "You're the only young female teacher in Red Star Primary School, and you're new here. How could these two hooligans bring their nonsense to your head?"
Su Pianran's lips trembled, "It's not me, I didn't do anything, the teachers in the office can testify for me!"
Meeting her look that seemed to be asking for help, Sister Xu, who pulled her over, frowned and looked embarrassed.
"Xiao Su, everyone went home after work, and we don't know what you did."
Rather than helping to say nice things and getting into trouble, she didn't want to get involved at all.
"Sister Xu..." Su Pianran wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Duan Wei's cold voice.
"Alright, I don't care what you did, but the reputation of Red Star Primary School cannot be affected by you. Go to the Finance Department to collect your salary. You don't need to come tomorrow."
After saying that, he walked towards the school gate.
There were too many people outside watching the fun. If he stayed any longer, he would lose all his face as the principal!
Su Pianran was in a panic. She saw Duan Ze hiding far away on the side, so she hurried over and said, "Comrade Duan, you have to save me. We did this together..."
"Us? The gangster confessed that it was you, not me. You'd better find out."
Duan Ze snorted contemptuously, "These big-character posters are all over the street. You'd better tear them down quickly."
Su Pianran stared at his back as he walked away quickly, and felt the blood in her body run cold.
The only thought left in my mind was that I must stay in Red Star Primary School.
Otherwise, if Brother Lu gets the news that she was driven away and investigates further, she will definitely be driven back to her hometown!
Su Pianran made up her mind, chased after him, and stood in front of Duan Wei.
Changing from his previous panic, he became very calm, "Principal Duan, I want to talk to you alone."
Duan Wei twitched his eyebrows impatiently, "I have nothing to say to you."
Su Pianran took a step forward and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "I was arranged by the Lu family. If you don't want to get into trouble, I advise you to take back what you just said."
Duan Wei's eyelids twitched, and he motioned her to step aside with a suspicious look in his eyes.
"Do you know anyone from the Lu family?"
Su Pianran was recommended to him by another primary school principal, who only said that she had a good level and qualified academic qualifications.
Hongxing Primary School happened to be short of a teacher, so he agreed without much thought.
Could it be that there is a hidden story behind this?
Su Pianran raised her chin and said, "My father once saved Chief Lu's life. Recently, my family has encountered some troubles, and Chief Lu specially took me to Beijing City to take care of me."
"If you don't believe me, you can go to the Lu family and ask if they know me."
She spoke with such certainty that Duan Wei quickly believed her.
It was not easy for the Lu family to come forward, so it made sense for them to ask the elementary school principal for help.
Duan Wei wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with an apologetic smile, "Teacher Su, the things written in the big-character poster have not been thoroughly investigated. I misunderstood you."
"In my opinion, someone is deliberately slandering you. Just focus on your work. I'll find someone to deal with those big-character posters."
Su Pianran curled her lips in satisfaction, "Principal, thank you for your help."
After she left, Duan Ze came up to him and asked, "Dad, why did you let her stay again?"
Duan Wei sighed, "Her job seems to be arranged by the Lu family. We can't offend the Lu family."
Duan Ze curled his lips, "So that's what it is. As the principal, are you really that afraid of the Lu family?"
Duan Wei took a breath and raised his hand to hit Duan Ze angrily, "You little bastard, it turns out you already knew that she was related to the Lu family."
…
Lu Guohua sat in his office, staring at a big red poster with a gloomy expression.
He is busy with work and rarely has time to care about rumors on the streets.
But today, on his way back to the military region, he saw no less than twenty such big-character posters.
The guard squeezed into the crowd to ask, and found out that the person the crowd was talking about was actually related to their Lu family.
Something happened to the Su family, and the only orphan girl went to Beijing to seek refuge with the Lu family. He only learned about this after he came back from the neighboring province.
And at that time, Lu Bingchuan had already arranged for the person to go to Hongxing Primary School.
I didn't expect that such a big storm would happen in just a few days.
The big-character poster focused on criticizing the two hooligans and only mentioned the "instigator" in half a sentence, but the power of the masses' chatter was infinite, and they soon guessed the result through their conversations.
"Commander." The guard walked hurriedly into the room.
"I've inquired, and the police station said they did arrest two hooligans who attempted to commit a crime. Their confession is the same as what was written on the big-character poster. However... I don't know how this news got out."
Lu Guohua's face turned stern. "Arrange a car for me. I want to meet these two people in person."
This matter concerns the benefactor of the Lu family and is of no trivial importance.
If this matter is completely false, he will definitely find out who is behind it himself and clear the name of the Su family's daughter!
Chengdong Police Station.
The fat man and the thin man were handcuffed to the interrogation chair, their faces and noses bruised and swollen, looking sad.
The bruises on his face are from being beaten up at the black market yesterday, and the frown on his face is from being scared now.
The thin guy's family has some money, and he usually thinks of himself as a second-generation rich kid. He drags the fat guy along and does a lot of unscrupulous things to molest women.
With their families taking care of things, they were only detained for a day or two at most. The worst thing was the last time when they offended Jiang Ningyan. Not only did the fat man lose all his teeth, but they were also detained for more than ten days.
Thinking of this time...they both shuddered at the same time.
With a creak, the door of the interrogation room opened.
A man in military uniform with a dignified look walked in, followed by several entourages. It was obvious that he was of high status.
He sat down across from the two of them, his aura powerful and his eyes frighteningly sharp. "Confess and be treated leniently; resist and be treated severely. Do you understand?"
The two of them shrank their necks at the same time and nodded hurriedly.
"What are the characteristics of the young woman you mentioned who paid you to order her around?"
The thin man had a good memory, and in order to gain merit, he started describing first, while the fat man racked his brains and added to the story from time to time.
As they were talking, a man in Liberation Army clothing sat down and scribbled something on a piece of paper with a pen.
Lu Guohua narrowed his eyes. Judging from the expressions of the two people, there was indeed no sign of lying.
After a while, Jiefangzhuang put down his pen and handed the drawing paper to him.
"Commander, this is the final portrait."
The guard took out a black and white photo from the brown paper bag and handed it to Lu Guohua.
The photographs and portraits are placed side by side.
Except for Lu Guohua, everyone took a deep breath.
