Chapter 178 Poverty (9)
9
For a moment, the ward fell into deathly silence.
Only Zhu Qingchen's words "flexible self-esteem" echoed in the room.
Zhu Qingchen leaned back in his chair, looking fearless.
Song Huaishu's face turned pale, and his "elastic self-esteem" was stretched to the maximum at this moment and was about to break.
Wait a moment!
Song Huaishu suddenly felt something was wrong.
Why did Zhu Qingchen suddenly say these words to him? Could he know something?
It's impossible. Only he and Bo Minghan knew about that project. Even if other people had access to it, they were just helping out and had no chance of accessing the original database. How did Zhu Qingchen know about it?
Song Huaishu's mind was working rapidly, and his swollen eyes were fixed on Zhu Qingchen, trying to find some clues from his face.
He tried his best to control his emotions and asked in a hoarse voice: "Why did Teacher Zhu suddenly say that?"
Zhu Qingchen said calmly: "When I came here, I met the police officers who were handling the case. They said that you were dizzy and could not accept questioning for the time being."
Song Huaishu said: "Teacher Zhu, I am indeed dizzy."
"You don't look dizzy right now." Zhu Qingchen laughed, "The police and Teacher Zhong can't see it, but I can. Song Huaishu, you are stalling for time."
Song Huaishu pretended to be stupid: "Teacher Zhu, what does this mean?"
"If you wanted Bo Minghan to go to jail, you would have explained the facts to the police and asked them to arrest him. But you are dragging your feet. It is obvious that you want to wait for Bo Minghan's lawyer to come to you and see what benefits he can offer you. If the benefits are enough, you can change your mind at any time." Zhu Qingchen said firmly, but paused and added, "Am I right?"
Song Huaishu was hit on the spot, and his originally tense self-esteem was in jeopardy: "Teacher Zhu, please don't slander me. I am the victim. How can you provoke the victim like this? This is not in line with teacher ethics, right?!"
"I called the police to save you, and now I come to visit you and want to pull you out of the quagmire. This is the greatest teacher ethics."
Zhu Qingchen folded his hands, looking indifferent.
"Yes, in this matter, you are the victim. There were only you and Bo Minghan at the scene. You can say whatever you want. But you should know in your heart whether you are the only victim involved in this matter."
"If you had given false testimony against your conscience and Bo Minghan had been acquitted, you should have known what kind of chain reaction would have been triggered." Song Huaishu said stubbornly, "Teacher Zhu, I don't know."
Zhu Qingchen said: "Song Huaishu, let's not talk about other students who might be harmed, let's talk about you first."
"Do you think that if you help Bo Minghan perjure his testimony and help him escape punishment, he will regard you as his savior and let you gain both fame and fortune?"
"Wake up. For someone like Bo Minghan, once he succeeds in getting away with the crime, you will be the only stain on his clean record. Will he hold his stain high? No, he will only use various means to wipe it clean."
"When the time comes, Song Huaishu, you, a smart-aleck student, will face off against Bo Minghan, a powerful group boss. He has plenty of ways to make you disappear from this world quietly. What you will face is a catastrophe, not the bright future you thought."
"So I'm here to advise you, don't be bribed by Bo Minghan, don't give false testimony to Bo Minghan, and don't let him out."
Song Huaishu was a little shaken, and his hands tightly grasped the quilt, leaving wrinkles.
For people like Song Huaishu, other victimized students, integrity, morality, and civic obligations are all empty talk.
He will only be moved if it affects his own interests.
Yes, what Zhu Qingchen said makes sense.
Now it was Bo Minghan who needed something from him, so he could give him anything and promise him anything.
But what if Bo Minghan comes out?
Song Huaishu still stiffened his neck: "Teacher Zhu, there is no need to scare me. This is a society ruled by law. Even if President Bo... Bo Minghan is the president of the group, he can't cover up everything with one hand."
Zhu Qingchen looked at him seriously: "Whether he has this ability or not, you know it in your heart, and what he has done is also known to you."
From beginning to end, it was Song Huaishu who was jumping up and down in shock, while Zhu Qingchen remained calm, as if he didn't care about his reaction.
Since Song Huaishu thought his words were just threats, Zhu Qingchen didn't say anything more and stood up to leave.
"I am only advising you. I am not trying to intimidate you like Bo Minghan, nor do I have the money to bribe you like him. That is all I have to say. Please think carefully about it."
Song Huaishu said: "Teacher Zhu, you can rest assured. I will tell you what the situation is. I will not be bribed."
Zhu Qingchen smiled and said, "That's great. I'll leave first."
Zhu Qingchen turned around to leave and ran into Teacher Zhong who was coming back with hot water.
"Teacher Zhu, are you leaving now? Can't you stay for a while? You are this student's lifesaver."
"No, I have class at ten o'clock, so I have to rush back to school."
"Okay, then I wish the teacher a safe journey."
Before leaving, Zhu Qingchen turned around and took one last look at Song Huaishu.
Song Huaishu's heart was shocked, and he suddenly remembered what Zhu Qingchen said at the beginning -
"You don't deserve Mr. Zhong's efforts."
Yes, he admitted that Mr. Zhong was a good person, but so what? Wasn't he still working as a counselor and not living a good life?
Zhu Qingchen went downstairs and came to the hospital parking lot.
Yu Xingzhou was waiting for him in the parking lot, so he got out of the car to get some fresh air.
He was going to work at Yu Group today, so he wore formal clothes and combed his hair.
He stood next to the black luxury car, with his back straight and a stern face, exuding an extraordinary aura.
Zhu Qingchen guessed that he must be impatient, so he quickened his pace and walked forward: "I'm back!"
Yu Xingzhou looked in the direction of the voice, with a look of resentment on his face: "Why are you so late?"
"You know, Song Huaishu is a bit stubborn. I'm not sure if he actually listened..." Zhu Qingchen didn't know what he saw and suddenly paused, "Go...in..."
Zhu Qingchen trotted forward, grabbed his arm, and pulled him away from the car.
Zhu Qingchen pointed at the car door in disbelief: "What is this? You, a big villain, are being bullied by a kid?"
The black luxury car is shiny and spotless, except for the door...
I put a bunch of pink fluorescent stickers on!
Zhu Qingchen was shocked: "Who? Who is it?"
Yu Xingzhou picked up the two cups of milk tea in his hand and handed them to him: "I have nothing to do, so I want to order you a cup of milk tea."
"Now is not the time to talk about milk tea!" Zhu Qingchen put his hands on his hips, "You have something else behind my back..."
"No." Yu Xingzhou inserted the straw and handed it to him.
Zhu Qingchen sipped his milk tea and swallowed it before he finished asking, "You have another lover behind my back..."
"No." Yu Xingzhou passed the straw to his lips again, "The milk tea takeaway is having a promotion and giving away a bunch of stickers. I've been waiting here for a long time."
"And then you stuck it on the car?" Zhu Qingchen was shocked.
The villain system floated out from behind the car: "I have already stopped him, but..."
There were a bunch of pink stickers on the villain's black luxury car. Zhu Qingchen took a sip of milk tea to calm down.
"Get in the car." Yu Xingzhou stretched out his hand to take him away.
Zhu Qingchen asked: "You won't tear it off?"
Yu Xingzhou was silent for a moment: "I can't tear it off, maybe I have to take it to the store to deal with it."
Zhu Qingchen sat in the passenger seat, still finding it unimaginable: "You are a big villain, will there be rumors spread in the future? Something like you were bullied by a kid?"
"Probably not." Yu Xingzhou leaned forward, helped him fasten his seat belt, and started the car.
The villain system floated out from behind the backrest again: "At most, it is rumored that President Yu and Teacher Zhu have a child, and this child put stickers on President Yu's car. Yes, you are a couple, and you have a child."
The system also poked its head out from behind Zhu Qingchen's shoulder: "It's me. I apply to be the child."
Zhu Qingchen took a deep breath and said, "It's better not to spread it. Let's go now and change the world." He looked at Yu Xingzhou again and said, "It's all your fault. It's better for you to stick it inside the car than on the door."
Yu Xingzhou felt wronged: "Zhu Qingqing, you haven't come out for too long."
"It's not like I didn't come out on purpose!"
The culprit, Yu Xingzhou, dared not speak anymore and concentrated on driving.
As the car drove out of the hospital, it ran into Song's father and mother who had returned to the hospital.
The two men were carrying large and small bags, as if they had just returned from a robbery.
Song's father is obviously a cancer patient, but he doesn't look like a patient at all. He carries a big backpack and walks faster than Song's mother.
Zhu Qingchen frowned: "Where are these two people going? Are they going to stay in the hospital to accompany the patient?"
Yu Xingzhou said: "Song Huaishu asked them to go to Bo's Group and bring back their computer and the USB drive."
"How do you know?"
"I just sent a message to urge Song Huaishu to hand in the private work. He can't afford to pay for the lost wages, so he will definitely ask them to get the things and work in the ward."
"Yeah." Zhu Qingchen nodded, "I just don't know if he plugged the USB drive into the computer of Bo's Group."
"Yes." Yu Xingzhou said firmly, "It will definitely happen."
*
Song's father and mother returned to the ward carrying large and small bags, which scared Teacher Zhong.
Song Huaishu asked: "Mom and Dad, didn't I ask you to take the computer and the USB drive? What did you take?"
"We know. We went to the Bo Group and found the front desk. The front desk took us to your workstation. Aren't all the things on your workstation yours?"
"That's right. You didn't go to the company these few days, and you left your things there. What if someone else took them? We brought them all back..."
Song Huaishu interrupted them unhappily: "Forget it, just bring the computer and USB drive over, give them to me."
"Of course." Father Song put the schoolbag on the table with a proud look on his face and took out a laptop from it.
Song Huaishu couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Dad, this is the computer that Bo's Group gave me! Where is my own computer?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? Isn't what's allocated to you yours? Can't you use this?"
"No, this is a special one and can only be used to process files within the group."
"Who cares if it's special or not? If I give it to you, you can use it. What's that look in your eyes?" Song's father frowned, "Isn't it good to get a computer for free? If I can't move the desktop computer at your workstation, I'll take that one too."
"What about my computer?"
"I left it in your dorm. It's not like you'll lose it. If you use someone else's, it won't matter if it breaks."
"No." Song Huaishu said anxiously, "Go again and get my computer back."
Song's father and mother were not happy about this.
"What's your attitude? We worked so hard to help you run errands, but you showed no gratitude at all." The two turned to ask Teacher Zhong, "Teacher Zhong, please judge for yourself. This child is simply..."
"Alright, alright, stop arguing." Teacher Zhong tried to smooth things over. "Huaishu, I'll go to the dormitory and get it for you."
Song's father and mother stopped him: "Don't, don't spoil him, this child is just pretentious..."
Song Huaishu's ears were buzzing, and he shouted, "Stop making noise!"
Song's father and mother became even more excited: "Teacher Zhong, look, he dares to speak loudly to us now..."
"Alright, alright." Teacher Zhong took the two people out and told Song Huaishu, "If you're injured, take a good rest and don't look at the computer."
Song Huaishu responded perfunctorily, turned on the group computer, and directly plugged in the USB drive.
It doesn’t matter, as long as the work can be completed as soon as possible. At most he just needs to pay more attention.
They're all computers anyway.
*
Two days later, Song Huaishu prepared to send the USB flash drive out.
The address was in Beijing, which made Song Huaishu feel a little strange. He asked the other party later and they said that they didn’t want to reveal their real address, so they asked their friend to take it and send it.
The other party transferred the money very quickly, so Song Huaishu no longer doubted it and sent the items directly.
The police station didn't want to wait any longer and directly informed him that he had to take time out tomorrow to take a statement. It was just a matter of more than ten minutes and could not be delayed any longer.
During these two days, Bo Minghan was detained in the police station. He refused to admit that he had sexually harassed or abused Song Huaishu. He insisted that he and Song Huaishu were a couple and that they had just gone too far in playing games.
Bo Minghan was originally a public figure with considerable influence. In addition to the Yu Group, there were many other competing companies.
When he got into trouble this time, other companies immediately broke the news after finding out the cause, making him a hot topic.
Bo Minghan's lawyer reacted quickly and suppressed the hot search immediately. At the same time, he also ran around outside and offered Song Huaishu generous conditions.
Later he was discovered by the police and was not allowed to get close to Song Huaishu anymore.
However, even if the police restricted it, the money and numbers had already passed through the ward and reached Song Huaishu's ears.
Song's father and mother have completely changed sides, but Song Huaishu is still hesitating, so it has been delayed for so long.
The night before taking the statement, Zhu Qingchen went to the hospital to visit Song Huaishu again.
Just like two days ago, Zhu Qingchen sat in front of the hospital bed, looking at Song Huaishu calmly.
What was different from two days ago was that Zhu Qingchen had already said everything he needed to say and didn't know what to say next.
Zhu Qingchen folded his hands and asked casually, "Did Mr. Bo raise your salary? How much did it increase to?"
Song Huaishu still pretended to be stupid: "What is Teacher Zhu saying? I don't understand."
Zhu Qingchen smiled and said, "I have said everything I need to say. It is up to you to choose."
"It's good that Teacher Zhu knows." Song Huaishu said, "It's my own business, so Teacher Zhu shouldn't interfere."
"Yeah." Zhu Qingchen looked up at the pure white ceiling and finally said, "I still want to tell you that the punishments for voluntarily turning yourself in and being caught by the police are completely different."
Song Huaishu's heart skipped a beat, and he suspected that Zhu Qingchen knew something.
"Teacher Zhu, what do you mean by this? I am a victim, why should I turn myself in?"
"An Yu is my student."
Zhu Qingchen left this sentence and turned away.
Song Huaishu wanted to chase after him, but he didn't dare to move.
After some hesitation, Zhu Qingchen left.
He doesn't really know anything, does he?
Impossible, there's no way he would know!
Zhu Qingchen went downstairs and Yu Xingzhou was waiting for him in the parking lot.
Zhu Qingchen opened the passenger door and sat directly in.
Yu Xingzhou asked: "How is it? Is he willing to report it?"
"I don't know." Zhu Qingchen shook his head, "It seems that he doesn't want to."
Zhu Qingchen also asked him: "Did you get the things?"
"Yes." Yu Xingzhou nodded, "It was just delivered, and the assistant gave it to me."
"Okay, let's go back then."
They have to prepare for both scenarios.
If Song Huaishu is willing to surrender himself and report Bo Minghan, then everything will be easy.
But if Song Huaishu is determined to help Bo Minghan cover up the evidence, then we have to take some extraordinary measures.
The car drove out of the hospital and into the endless night.
The two returned to Zhu Qingchen's teacher's apartment.
Zhu Qingchen took out his laptop, Yu Xingzhou plugged in the USB drive and briefly typed on the keyboard.
Zhu Qingchen sat next to him, saying nothing, looking at the screen intently.
Soon, a folder named "Intern Song Huaishu" appeared on the screen.
It is the name of the computer allocated to Song Huaishu by Bo Group.
All the files were copied over. Zhu Qingchen pointed to the "Work" folder on the screen and said, "Take a look at this first."
"Yeah." Yu Xingzhou opened the folder.
It contained Song Huaishu's weekly report on his work at the Bo Group over the past few months. He clicked it and saw nothing unusual.
Exit the folder and look elsewhere.
This is also normal and no different from an ordinary intern's computer.
Even the system couldn't help but doubt: "Could it be that you two guessed wrong? Maybe Bo Minghan has never done such a thing?"
"Impossible." Zhu Qingchen said seriously, "A person like him, who is in a high position and has great power, will do whatever it takes to satisfy his desires once evil thoughts arise. The fact that he failed to attack An Yu this time and immediately turned to Song Huaishu is enough to prove this."
"That's right." The villain system agreed, "Not to mention that this is a 'Reality Crematorium'."
It emphasized: "Realistic."
"Realistic?" Zhu Qingchen also remembered the label he saw when he was choosing the world. "What does this mean?"
"A CEO who is almost 20 years old and in a high position of power must have ex-boyfriends, ex-girlfriends, and bed partners. This is called 'realistic'."
"..." Zhu Qingchen suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Yu Xingzhou.
Yu Xingzhou raised his hand: "I don't have any."
The villain system said: "That may be because the author forgot to write it for you."
Yu Xingzhou continued to raise his hand: "Not even in reality. I am the emperor, and I don't have it either."
Zhu Qingchen raised his eyebrows at the system: "This is what we call being realistic. The amount of power does not need to be proved by the number of bed partners."
"Yes." Yu Xingzhou nodded, "Zhu Qingqing and I have slept together since we were young, and there has never been anyone else."
Zhu Qingchen put his arm around Yu Xingzhou's shoulders with satisfaction.
At this time, Yu Xingzhou said, "Zhu Qingqing, I found it."
"Hmm?" Zhu Qingchen leaned over to take a look.
It was a hidden folder, and Yu Xingzhou took some time to finally find it.
The project development has entered its final stage, and there is a semi-finished software in Song Huaishu's computer.
The software icon is a very common pattern of hands holding up a heart, and it looks like a public welfare software.
Yu Xingzhou used the simulator to open the software. The software had already been logged in and the page was a simple and crude student aid page.
but……
After Song Huaishu's developer account logged in automatically, something seemed different.
Yu Xingzhou clicked on "My" and a marked object appeared on the page, a small red dot.
Zhu Qingchen asked: "What is this?"
Click on it and a marked object appears on the screen.
【Name: An Yu
Gender: Male
Date of birth:……
Related images: ……】
Zhu Qingchen was stunned.
The relevant images played automatically, and without exception, they were scenes of An Yu sitting in front of the camera in a dim corner, showing his scars from being beaten and applying medicine to his wounds.
I see.
Yu Xingzhou quickly scrolled down the page, but what he saw was even more shocking.
Two function keys: [Like ta] [Share ta] [Book ta]
The ambiguous pink color and vulgar heart shape all show what these function keys mean.
This time, Zhu Qingchen and Yu Xingzhou were both stunned.
They knew that this software might not be normal, but they didn't expect that it would be so disgusting. Yu Xingzhou closed the page, and Zhu Qingchen couldn't bear it anymore, rushed to the bathroom, and began to retch.
Bo Minghan has been preparing for this thing for so long.
Because he had direct contact with An Yu, he used An Yu as a model character in the database and asked Song Huaishu to design the page using An Yu's information.
No wonder Song Huaishu knew An Yu. No wonder Song Huaishu knew who An Yu was the first time he saw him.
Disgusting! So disgusting!
Yu Xingzhou walked over to him, patted his back gently, and poured him a glass of water: "What should we do now?"
Zhu Qingchen lay on the sink and said firmly: "Report it, report it immediately."
Yu Xingzhou said: "This is considered illegal evidence collection, it may not be effective, we have to find another way."
Zhu Qingchen calmed down and said, "Then let someone who can collect evidence do so."
Who can come forward to testify openly? Who can ask the relevant departments to search for Bo Minghan and Song Huaishu?
Zhu Qingchen picked up the phone, hesitated, and called An Yu: "An Yu..."
As long as An Yu goes to the police station to provide clues and tells the police that he has been filmed, Bo Minghan can be investigated, but...
The lights in the dormitory were off. An Yu lowered his voice and asked, "Teacher?"
"There is one thing that the teacher thinks you should know..." Zhu Qingchen hesitated and wanted to hang up the phone again, "Forget it, the teacher will think of a solution, you can continue to sleep."
He still didn't want students to come into contact with such disgusting things, so he could find another way to deal with the search.
"Teacher!" An Yu shouted, "Is it about Bo Minghan?"
Zhu Qingchen didn't dare to say it.
An Yu immediately cheered up: "I know that Bo Minghan bullied another student. Do you need me to testify in court? Or do you need me to do something? Teacher, just tell me. I can do it. I'm not that fragile."
"I would rather face reality clearly than spend the rest of my life in confusion." An Yu whispered, "In fact, I haven't been that firm at all in the past few months. Sometimes I feel that I am right, and sometimes I feel that I have wronged Mr. Bo."
"Teacher, no matter what the facts are, I accept them. I don't want to be torn apart anymore. I want to convict Bo Minghan. I am the victim. I don't want to hide and pretend that nothing happened. I want the truth."!
