Chapter 81: I called the police because it was embarrassing, and it was also for the good of the school.
On September 14, 1989, which also happened to be the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, the Mid-Autumn Festival, a major event occurred at the Affiliated High School of the No. 10 Steel Plant. The day before, a dozen or so boys from the graduating third grade class were arrested by the police for illegally selling pornographic discs.
In just one night, the well-informed students had already heard the news, and the whole school was in an uproar, with everyone talking about it.
"Hey, did you hear that guy from our class was arrested last night for secretly selling pirated pornographic discs?"
"Who is it?"
"Oh, who else do you need to ask?! Why are you so slow? Look who's missing from our class?"
"Is it really him?"
"Of course! My uncle works at the police station, not the one that arrested them. But they all work in the same system, so they keep each other informed if anything happens privately."
My uncle came to my house yesterday just to warn me, telling me to study hard at school and never do anything that shouldn't be done.
"Oh my god, so he didn't come to school today because he got arrested?"
"Absolutely true."
"Hey, why is he so desperate? He's a good student, why would he do something so sneaky?"
"Of course it's to make money! You have no idea how much money pirated discs make! They only cost a few dollars, but they can sell them for ten or fifteen, which is double the profit."
"No wonder that guy has been so extravagant lately."
"Serves him right. Who told him to show off? He can't help showing off when he makes a little money. Such an obvious problem, and he really caught it right."
"So do you think he can come back to school?"
"I don't think it's possible. He's already breaking the law by selling pirated discs. And what's more, he's selling a lot of pornographic material. Does that count as distributing obscene and pornographic material?"
"But he's not an adult yet."
"It's illegal even if he's underage. Even if he doesn't get arrested and thrown into prison, he probably won't be able to return to our school. He'll probably be sent to a school designed to handle people like him."
"It's good that he can't come back. And I heard that he not only sells it, but he also watches it himself. Not only does he watch it himself, but he also drags his classmates into it. Several of his friends have gone to see it."
"What's the point of just watching? I heard some of them even wanted to attack the girls at school. How disgusting!"
"Who is it?"
"Then I don't know. Don't ask. It's bad enough to be targeted by someone like that. Why do we need to know who it is?"
"You're right. I won't ask anymore."
When Xu Heye heard this, she subconsciously looked at Sun Hui in the back seat.
Sun Hui smiled at her, and Xu Heye also smiled.
Kong Xiaoyue, who was sitting next to Xu Heye, frowned and looked at the two of them. "Do you two have any little secrets that you haven't told me?"
"What secret?" Xu Heye asked casually.
Kong Xiaoyue pouted: "Don't I have to ask you?"
"Xu Heye, tell me the truth, is it because you have a new friend, Sun Hui, that you no longer want me as your old friend?"
Xu Heye: “…”
"How could I have that?"
"You didn't?" Kong Xiaoyue was so angry that she put her hands on her hips. "Then why have you been so secretive lately?"
"And that day, when you didn't rush home after school but instead solved math problems at school, don't think I don't know. You weren't there to solve the problems, but to stay and wait for Sun Hui to finish her duty before going home together."
Xu Heye: “…”
Seeing Kong Xiaoyue with her hands on her hips and pouting, as if she was demanding a reason, Xu Heye thought for a moment and said, "Actually, there really isn't one. It's mainly because our families live close to each other, and we went to school together, so we gradually became close."
"But in my heart, you are always my first good friend since I came to Hucheng. No one can surpass you."
"Hehe." Kong Xiaoyue was quickly coaxed.
"But He Ye, I never thought they would be this kind of people." Kong Xiaoyue pointed to the empty seats in the class.
"Shh!" Xu Heye noticed the head teacher Chen Yuru with sharp eyes.
Kong Xiaoyue quickly made a gesture to seal her mouth.
Chen Yuru looked at the noisy classroom, and her eyes went darker and darker.
She angrily slammed the physics book on the table and started to rage: "You're already in the third year of junior high school, with the high school entrance exam coming up soon, and you still don't know how to make progress? Morning reading class is for you to study, not for you to gossip. Anyone who gossips about me again, stand in the back of the classroom!"
After Chen Yuru finished her outburst, she glanced around the class and saw that everyone was silent. Then she looked away and said, "Class monitor, please organize the class discipline."
"Xu Heye, come out with me for a moment." Chen Yuru said, walked out of the classroom, and turned back to say, "Study well in the morning, don't spread rumors, and don't believe them."
Xu Heye stood up and Sun Hui looked at her nervously. Xu Heye shook her head and walked out of the classroom.
Chen Yuru did not return to the office, but took Xu Heye to the playground.
She looked at Xu Heye with a complicated expression. "You discovered that Wang Cai was secretly reselling pirated discs. Why didn't you tell me first, but went straight to the police station to report it? Do you know how much of a damage this incident has done to the school's reputation?"
She had a truly thrilling two days.
He received a call from the police station late at night, saying that students in his class were suspected of breaking the law by reselling pirated pornographic CDs.
Even though Chen Yuru had already fallen asleep, she still had to get up, get dressed, and go to the police station to take a statement and give a confession.
That would have been fine, but Wang Cai's parents even went to the police station and made a big fuss with her.
With the help of the police, she finally got rid of the unreasonable couple. When she returned home, before she could catch her breath, she received a call from her uncle, followed by calls from various school leaders, asking her to come to the school as soon as possible to explain the situation.
Explain the situation, what? Didn't she only know about it two or three hours earlier than them?
She was indeed Wang Cai's homeroom teacher, but she couldn't control what happened to the students after school. Who knew he was so bold? Not only did he sell it himself, he even dared to come to the school to recruit downline members and ask his classmates to help him sell...
What's even more infuriating is that the person who called the police was also a student in her class. If it weren't for an old classmate of her uncle working at the police station, she wouldn't have known that such a big thing was caused by the little girl in front of her.
Xu Heye looked at Chen Yuru's dark circles and droopy face, and guessed that she must not have had a good time in the past two days.
but--
"Teacher, please don't be angry. Being angry is bad for your health. I called the police for the sake of the school and our class."
Chen Yuru: “…”
She looked at the girl in front of her in disbelief: "You brought such shame to our school, and you still say it's for the good of our school?"
Xu Heye was unhappy: "Teacher, what you said is a bit biased."
"It was indeed me who called the police, but I wasn't the one who brought shame to our school. Whoever does something bad should be disgraced. You can't put the blame on me just because I called the police."
"And teacher, I'm really doing this for the good of our school and all the students in the school."
Chen Yuru looked at her, her hands on her hips, as if she wanted to see what kind of nonsense she could make up.
"Teacher, you should know that Wang Cai was the only one selling these pirated discs at the beginning, right? What about now?"
Chen Yuru stopped talking.
"Teacher, if we keep this troublemaker in school, will he deceive more students and cause them to do wrong things? Will other students and their parents come to the school to cause trouble?"
"And..." Xu Heye's face darkened, "Teacher, you have been to the police station, right? Do you know that those people are no longer satisfied with making money by selling pirated discs?
If we don't call the police and take them under control, if they commit more serious crimes like sexual harassment or even raping girls...will our school be used as a model by the Education Bureau and exhibited in schools across the district?
"So, teacher, although calling the police now may be embarrassing, scraping away the rot and bruises, leaving the healthy flesh behind, will help heal faster."
"Well said!"
Xu Heye and Chen Yuru were both startled because the person who spoke was not one of them.
Xu Heye turned around and saw a familiar-looking old man.
