Bullying female classmates??
Everyone panicked and hurriedly waved their hands:
"No, no! We didn't bully the female classmates!"
"If you didn't bully her, then why is she crying?" the head instructor roared.
Zhao Xiong: "I... this... she was scared to tears by me..."
The head instructor glared at him and interrupted him directly:
"Then why do you say you didn't bully them!"
"No! Head Instructor, she's the one who beat me up! I didn't touch her at all!" Zhao Xiong said urgently.
The head instructor clearly didn't believe it:
"You mean she beat you up??"
"Heh~ Look at your physiques, do you think I'd believe that?"
At this moment, Lu Qing kindly explained on Zhao Xiong's behalf:
"Um... Chief Instructor, it was indeed me who beat him up, he wasn't lying to you!"
The head instructor raised his hand to stop him, and said with righteous indignation:
"Little girl, don't be afraid! I'm here, no one dares to threaten you!"
"Tell me the truth, and I'll stand up for you!"
Lu Qing: "Chief Instructor, I'm telling the truth, I really did beat him up!"
Head Instructor: "I don't believe it! He must have threatened you!"
Seeing this, Lu Qing gritted his teeth, stepped forward, grabbed the chief instructor's arm, and threw him to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw.
"Now you believe me, right?"
The head instructor remained silent for a long time, then silently got up, dusted himself off, glanced at everyone, and said coldly:
"What are you looking at me for? It's time to train, everyone get to training!"
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly dispersed and returned to their respective positions to begin training.
Lu Qing shrank back and silently returned to her class's formation like a quail, and the head instructor didn't blame her.
Lu Qing thought the matter was over, but during evening self-study, the homeroom teacher called her out to apologize to the head instructor.
"Lu Qing, how could you lay a hand on the head instructor? Apologize right now!" Fang Minjing said sternly.
Lu Qing bowed deeply to the head instructor.
"Head Instructor, I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have dropped you!"
The head instructor waved his hand repeatedly and laughed:
"It's okay, it's okay! I'm a man, a fall like that doesn't hurt, it's nothing!"
"Teacher Fang, you really are something else. You pulled me over here saying you had something to discuss, but it turns out it's to get this girl to apologize."
"If I had known, I wouldn't have come with you. It's such a small thing, is it really necessary to make her apologize?"
Fang Minjing looked full of guilt:
"Chief Instructor, your good temper doesn't mean you don't have to apologize."
"Lu Qing was wrong about what happened during the day, and she should naturally apologize to you. Please, considering her young age, don't deduct her training points!"
Upon hearing this, the head instructor understood why Fang Minjing had forced Lu Qing to apologize to him.
At this school, military training is considered the first compulsory course for students, and it is graded.
If you fail, you will fail the course and have to train with the next batch of students again the following year.
Lu Qing had already lost some points due to taking leave multiple times. If she lost points again for this incident, her chances of failing the course would be very high.
Fang Minjing was worried about this.
The head instructor smiled helplessly: "Teacher Fang, do you really think I'm that petty?"
"It's not worth making things difficult for her over something like this. Don't worry, I won't have anyone deduct any points from her participation score."
"On the contrary, given her skills and excellent performance in the later matches, I would give her extra points!"
Fang Minjing was relieved.
"I was being petty. Thank you, Chief Instructor!"
The head instructor smiled and looked at Lu Qing: "Girl, your name is Lu Qing, right?"
Lu Qing nodded.
"Who taught you this skill?" the head instructor asked.
Lu Qing: "My master taught me."
The head instructor was somewhat surprised: "You have a master? May I ask, what's your master's name?"
Lu Qing: "My master is Yu Hengzi, the abbot of Qingyun Temple on Yutai Mountain."
"A Taoist temple? How could a young girl like you be sent to a Taoist temple? What were your parents thinking?" The head instructor asked, puzzled.
Lu Qing scratched his head and laughed:
“I have no parents! I am an orphan. My master picked me up from the roadside and took me in.”
Upon hearing this, a hint of heartache flashed in the head instructor's eyes:
"You're an orphan! I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked that question!"
"It's alright! My master and mistress treat me very well, and I don't care who my biological parents are," Lu Qing said with a smile.
She knew she was an orphan since she was a child, but because her master, mistress, and senior brother all loved her very much, she didn't pay much attention to it.
"Alright! Let's leave it at that. Ms. Fang, let her go back to her evening self-study session. Let's not waste the child's time," the head instructor said with a smile.
"Okay!" Fang Minjing nodded with a smile.
"Lu Qing, you should go back!"
"Um!"
"Goodbye, Chief Instructor!"
Lu Qing was about to turn back to the classroom when he suddenly stopped and turned to the head instructor, saying:
"Um... Chief Instructor, please remember to call your son more often these next few days. He's been having some bad luck lately, so tell him not to walk alone at night; it's dangerous."
"What?" The head instructor was completely bewildered.
"Lu Qing, what are you saying?"
"Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed. If you believe me, then listen to me. If you don't believe me, then pretend I didn't say anything."
After saying that, Lu Qing went into the classroom.
The head instructor looked at Fang Minjing with puzzlement: "Teacher Fang, was this girl like this before?"
Fang Minjing frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, she said:
"Chief Instructor, I think you should listen to her. She grew up in a Taoist temple, so she might know something about fortune telling and divination."
“Teacher Fang, we’re Party members and materialists, we don’t believe in these things!” the head instructor said, frowning.
Fang Minjing didn't believe it at first, but after what happened with Cheng Yiyi last time, she started to believe it.
Since her mother is a believer, she now always carries talismans with her.
"I'm just saying this. You can believe it if you want, or just consider it nonsense if you don't!" Fang Minjing didn't insist.
Although the head instructor didn't believe it, Lu Qing's words reached his ears.
That night, he felt increasingly uneasy, so he made a phone call to his son, Ji Ziyao.
"Hey! Son, what are you doing?"
A tired voice came from the other end: "There's been a lot going on at work lately, I'm working overtime!"
"It's almost 10 o'clock, and you're still working overtime!"
"Yes! I've been working overtime until the early hours every day lately, but it'll be soon. Once this project is finalized, I'll be promoted to manager."
Although Ji Ziyao's voice was tired, it was full of excitement and anticipation.
The head instructor's heart skipped a beat, and he asked again:
Are you working overtime alone? Is anyone keeping you company?
"No! I'm the only one left in the company. I've sent everyone else home to rest."
"Dad, what's wrong with you today? Why are you calling me so late and asking so many questions? Did something happen?"
The head instructor quickly replied, "It's nothing! I just suddenly realized I haven't called you in a long time!"
“You’ve been working too late lately, and it’s not safe to walk alone at night. Find someone to go with you, or if that doesn’t work, have your mom pick you up.”
Ji Ziyao couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Dad, I'm not a child anymore, I'm a grown man. Even if there are criminals, they shouldn't be targeting me!"
"Besides, the company is only a few hundred meters from home, what danger could there be!"
"Alright! That's enough, I should go back now!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
After saving the prepared documents, Ji Ziyao left the company and strolled home.
What he didn't notice was that a figure was secretly watching him from the shadows behind him.
