Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 336 Moving reinforcements

Along the way, none of the four spoke, and soon they arrived in front of the school office building.

The school security department’s office is located on the first floor, just like the steel plant’s security department, but its scale is much smaller than that of the steel plant.

When Section Chief Li led the three people into the room, there were three people in the school security office, all of them men. Two of them were smoking and chatting, and the other one was sitting behind the desk, reading a book with relish.

A middle-aged man in the office glanced at the faces of several people. Seeing Qiu Peng with a bruised face and covered in dust, he quickly put out his cigarette, stood up and smiled at Section Chief Li:
"Has the Section Chief run into a case?"

When the other two people who stood up in the room heard this, they withdrew their gaze from the others and looked at Section Chief Li at the same time.

"Ah."

Responding expressionlessly, Section Chief Li pointed at He Yushui and Qiu Peng and said to the three people in the room, "Come and ask them what's going on. Ask them in detail, and make sure the transcripts are clear for me."

"It's the section chief."

……

While the other two were responding to Section Chief Li, the young man who was reading in the office pointed at He Yushui and said, "Girl, come over here."

Seeing this, the middle-aged man called Qiu Peng to his desk without waiting for the other person to speak.

After being idle in the office all day, they finally got some work to do and they were very enthusiastic.

Those who didn't get any work gritted their teeth and glared at the smiling young man, then went to the middle-aged man's desk to help out in a unhappy manner.

Seeing the three people start to get busy, Section Chief Li didn't say anything else. He waved at He Yuanchao, indicating that he should follow him.

The entire office is about 40 square meters and is divided into two spaces, one large and one small, by half a wall.

Section Chief Li brought He Yuanchao to the inner room. He took a big sip of water from the enamel teacup on the only desk in the room, then wiped his chin and asked:

"Tell me, what's your name? Where do you work? Why do you come to school to work?"

"My name is He Yuanchao, and I work in the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill."

As he spoke, He Yuanchao took out his work ID from his jacket pocket and handed it to Section Chief Li.

After receiving the work permit, Section Chief Li opened it and took a look. He saw the words "Deputy Director" in the level column, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He still said in a stiff tone:

"Why are you in school? Why are you fighting for money? Explain the matter clearly."

Section Chief Li also saw what happened just now. Although He Yuanchao knew that he was asking questions even though he already knew the answer, as they were all security workers, they understood that this was a procedure, so he cooperated and explained the whole process.

Section Chief Li tapped the table with his fingers, nodded after listening to He Yuanchao's story, and was about to speak when an extremely loud and angry roar suddenly came from the outer office.

"I've already said that I didn't do anything to her. I didn't hit her, I didn't touch her, I was just pursuing her normally. Why the hell do you have to keep saying that I was a hooligan?"

Qiu Peng's face was covered with bruises, and he looked ferocious and scary due to his angry expression.

The school security guards were not easily intimidated. Seeing that Qiu Peng was still so arrogant even in their territory, they did not tolerate him at all.

Bang~~
The middle-aged man stood up and slapped the table hard, staring at Qiu Peng with a sullen face, and shouted sternly:

"Keep your mouth shut, if you keep swearing, I'll give you a spanking." After scolding, seeing that Qiu Peng had stopped talking and didn't dare to retort, the middle-aged man looked at him with disdain, then sat down again and said:
"Does it take physical effort to tease someone to be considered a hooligan? You are a technical secondary school student, an educated person. Don't you know that forcing a woman's will is a hooligan behavior? Have you read so much that it's useless?"

After receiving the warning, Qiu Peng did not dare to get angry again in the face of the middle-aged man's humiliating provocation, and once again patiently explained his relationship with He Yushui.

He Yushui was not idle either. She cried and told the young security guard who was questioning her about how Qiu Peng had been harassing her. She exaggerated the matter a little and told it with reason and evidence.

Section Chief Li in the inner office listened for a while and saw that his two subordinates were sitting there listening to the same nonsense and could not come to a conclusion for a long time. He suddenly became impatient, said something to He Yuanchao, and walked out.

Section Chief Li came to the middle-aged man's desk and knocked on the table to interrupt Qiu Peng who was still chattering about freedom of love and pursuit of freedom, and said with a sullen face:

"Don't talk nonsense here. I just want to ask you whether He Yushui has explicitly rejected your so-called pursuit?"

"Refused... Refused."

Under Section Chief Li's fixed gaze, Qiu Peng answered subconsciously, then reacted after he finished speaking and quickly added:
"Well... well, girls are... thin-skinned. Whether they agree or not, what they say... what they say cannot be counted..."

Pfft~~
Before Qiu Peng could finish his words, the young man who had just asked He Yushui about this came over and heard these remarks. He couldn't help but covered his mouth and laughed out loud.

"You don't even work seriously. Are you dissatisfied with your monthly salary?" When Section Chief Li heard the noise, he turned around and glared at the young man, saying unhappily.

“Never too much, ever too little.”

When he heard that his salary was going to be deducted, the young man hurried over to Section Chief Li and explained in a flattering manner: "Section Chief, you can't blame me for this. It's just that what you said is too ridiculous."

Section Chief Li thought of Qiu Peng's shameless words just now and felt the same way, so he didn't bother about the young man's affairs anymore.

He turned around and asked Qiu Peng with a cold face: "Since the girl has clearly rejected you, why are you still pestering her again and again? Isn't that just being a hooligan?"

When Qiu Peng heard that the school security chief wanted to label him a hooligan, he immediately felt nervous and quickly organized his words to defend himself:
"Li... Chief Li, you can't say that. He Yushui rejected me verbally, but who knows what she is thinking in her heart? Maybe she is playing hard to get and keeping me hanging..."

"Okay, you can take a break now!"

After hearing Qiu Peng's shameless excuse, Section Chief Li really didn't want to argue with him, so he interrupted him and said, "Just tell me, did you harass anyone?"

Many of the students knew about Qiu Peng's harassment of He Yushui, and had seen it with their own eyes. They couldn't deny it even if they wanted to, so they could only lower their heads and admit, "Yes, but..."

"Just admit it, and stop talking about those twisted theories of yours."

After that, Section Chief Li stopped talking to Qiu Peng and turned to the middle-aged man and said, "Call the school's discipline leader and his class teacher and ask them to come to the security department to handle this matter."

"and many more."

Seeing that the matter was about to get out of hand, Qiu Peng lost his energy and said anxiously, "Chief Li, I want to call my dad."

Section Chief Li didn't hesitate at all when he heard this. He pointed to the inner office and said, "There's a phone there. Go call it! The parents will be notified in the end anyway."

After his request to make a phone call was met, Qiu Peng no longer cared about anything else. He only wanted his father to come forward and settle the matter.

Otherwise, once this matter is confirmed and recorded in the file, Qiu Peng will have no future after graduation.

Seeing Qiu Peng walking hurriedly into the inner room, Section Chief Li gave the middle-aged man a look, signaling him to follow and keep an eye on the matter, and not to think too much and do anything weird while he was on the phone.
