"What did you say?"
Shen Heng stopped talking, crossed his arms, and looked at the policeman.
With no other option, the police had to remove the rag from Gao Peifu's mouth themselves. Gao Peifu immediately started cursing: "Pah, kid, you just wait! Damn it!" He then yelled at the policeman: "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and untie the rope!"
Shen Heng was tied up with pig knots, and Gao Peifu struggled to tighten them, and now they were very tight.
The policeman quickly went to untie him, but Shen Heng said, "If you untie this rope, what if he runs away?"
"Why are you running away? Even if you want to report it to the police, people have human rights too!"
Despite being the victim who reported the crime, Xiang Anqi received no kindness whatsoever. Unable to sit still any longer, he said, "Did you bring handcuffs? If you don't have handcuffs, you can't untie this rope!"
"You old geezer, mind your own business! This house has belonged to the Gao family for generations, I can do whatever I want with it!"
Gao Peifu cursed.
"You!" Xiang Anqi was so angry that he started trembling.
Bai Jiaojiao had never seen the usually refined and easygoing Xiang Anqi like this before, and quickly said, "Teacher, we don't need to be angry with him. What he says doesn't count. When the prosecutor's office comes, everything will be judged fairly."
Xiang Anqi was helped to sit down on the sofa by Bai Jiaojiao: "You're right, I'm not angry, I'm not angry..."
"I suggest you try to mediate if possible; it's better for both of you," the police officer said.
Bai Jiaojiao said, "I suggest you handcuff him if you don't want to be reported for passive law enforcement."
"you......"
When Shen Heng called the police, he didn't mention that he had arrested Gao Peifu. The police officers didn't come out with handcuffs, which is against regulations.
"If you're not wearing handcuffs, then don't untie the ropes. At least give us an explanation."
Bai Jiaojiao remained calm, but her words were piercing.
The policeman glanced at Gao Peifu and stopped what he was doing.
"Alright then, why don't you come with me? We'll go to the station to mediate?"
“It was our duty to give statements and explain the truth in the past, but we do not accept mediation. We are only waiting for the court hearing and believe that the court will give us a fair result.”
"Pah, don't think things are so simple! I advise you to accept the mediation honestly, or you'll regret it later! Let me tell you, in this place, if you want to live a good life, the first thing you have to do is be clear-headed!" Gao Peifu spat on the ground, which looked particularly disgusting on the dark gray cement.
Bai Jiaojiao looked at him coldly, her face expressionless: "You'll find out later who's oversimplified things."
Making trouble outside the compound is at most considered disturbing the peace, and the police station handles civil disputes. Gao Peifu's brother-in-law is someone who can make the decisions, so who knows how much shady business might be involved?
But when Bai Jiaojiao heard Shen Heng say "smash the back window," she came up with this plan. She had Shen Heng go to Gao Peifu's house in the middle of the night to smash the window and provoke him. Gao Peifu would never swallow this insult and would definitely retaliate.
Gao Peifu was only thinking about revenge. He didn't call the police yesterday, and Shen Heng ran away quickly without leaving any evidence. It was too dark to see anyone clearly, so it's impossible for what happened last night to have come to light.
Bai Jiaojiao knew that people like Gao Peifu were completely lawless and fearless, so she was certain that Gao Peifu would take extreme actions today.
Gao Peifu far exceeded Bai Jiaojiao's expectations, daring to trespass on private property.
Trespassing and damaging property are enough for him to be charged with a crime under the criminal law.
When the police officers who responded to the scene heard Bai Jiaojiao say those words, they did not refute her further.
What else can he do?
Gao Peifu doesn't understand the law. How could someone who enforces the law not understand the law?
This family is so aggressive. The woman just called the old man "teacher" at the gate of Yanda University. You don't need to think too much about the old man's identity.
He was afraid that the more he said, the more mistakes he would make. Gao Peifu was probably in trouble this time. He didn't want Gao Peifu to end up losing his own job!
"Then you two come with me!" he said, and left with Gao Peifu.
I thought I should get him back to the station as soon as possible, and leave the rest to his captain to worry about!
The matter dragged on until midnight before the three of them finally left the police station. Bai Jiaojiao recounted all the details that would be favorable for sentencing in her statement. Xiang Anqi, not one to be trifled with, immediately said, "Yan University needs an explanation."
It's not like a few years ago when everyone was proud of not studying. These intellectuals will become pillars of the nation after graduation. To be realistic, they will all become officials. The wheel of fortune turns, and the pressure is suddenly immense.
"Teacher, I'm so sorry to have kept you from resting. It's our fault for not buying the right house, but we're both married now, and it wouldn't feel right to live in separate dorms, so we bought this little courtyard house." Bai Jiaojiao apologized to Xiang Anqi as she left the police station.
It's true that they used Xiang Anqi to testify on their behalf, but their guilt is also real.
"Don't talk to me like that. As a teacher at the school, I can't ignore any student in this situation. Besides, I consider you my apprentice. People used to say that a teacher is like a father. Don't think I'm taking advantage of you. An apprentice is like half a son. How could I not care?"
“Teacher Xiang, thank you so much this time. You saw the attitude of that policeman just now. This is not the first time Gao Peifu has come to cause trouble. He came a few days ago as well. We reported it to the police, but we haven’t heard back since. We are just two people with no influence, and no one listens to us.”
"You bully the weak and fear the strong. But remember this: since you are students of Yanda University, backed by the university, the school will not let you suffer. If you have any problems, you should go to the teachers. Even if I hadn't encountered this today, you should have gone to the teachers in your department, to your class teacher, and asked them for help. I believe any teacher would be willing."
Xiang Anqi's words moved Bai Jiaojiao deeply.
Xiang Anqi's home was near the school, so he didn't let the two of them take him home. He rode his bike home by himself, and before leaving, he told them, "If there's a court hearing for this, you must let me know. If they dare to pull any tricks before then, I won't let them off the hook. Also, hurry up and translate that manuscript; don't let this affect you!"
Bai Jiaojiao answered all the questions before going home.
Shen Heng said, "I didn't expect that Teacher Xiang would value you so much."
"Yes, it made me feel embarrassed." If it weren't for her strong desire to become a doctor and save lives, Bai Jiaojiao would definitely have agreed to Xiang Anqi's request to change her major.
"Don't be embarrassed. Our Jiaojiao is so adorable, it's only natural that anyone would like you. You can only say that the old man has good taste."
I don't know who it was, but in order to prevent others from liking Bai Jiaojiao, they were constantly hanging around in front of other students' classmates to assert their dominance.
"You were just calling him Teacher Xiang, and now you're calling him Old Man."
"I don't usually call him that."
"Then I'll thank you on behalf of Teacher Xiang!"
