Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 341 It’s better to go out at noon in the future

"Hooliganism?"

Liu Lihua on the other end of the phone muttered something, and then asked, "Yuan Chao, tell me what this hooliganism crime is, why haven't I heard of it before!"

How famous is the crime of hooliganism in later generations! Almost everyone knows it. Even in the city, even girls of a few years old know to use the name of hooliganism to scare people when they quarrel. How could Liu Lihua, who is in the system, not know it?
He Yuanchao was thinking in his mind, but he would not be so foolish as to ask, but tried his best to recall the definition of hooliganism in his previous life.

"Openly flouting laws and social morality, gathering to fight, provoking trouble, insulting women or disrupting public order, and other heinous behaviors are all considered hooliganism, and Qiu Peng's behavior fully meets the criteria."

After listening to He Yuanchao's narration, Liu Lihua on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned for a moment, and then she asked a female staff member at home: "Xiao Zhang, have you heard of the crime of hooliganism?"

The staff member who was wiping the coffee table with a rag was also a little confused after hearing this. After trying hard to recall, he shook his head and said, "Sister Liu, I have never heard of this crime. Why don't you call someone else and ask."

Liu Lihua nodded and said to the phone, "Yuan Chao, wait a minute. I'll make a phone call and ask. If the charge is really hooliganism, I support you in sending that little bastard to jail."

After saying this, without waiting for He Yuanchao's reply, he simply raised his hand and hung up the call.

He Yuanchao put down the phone, feeling very confused. He took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it and took a puff, while frowning and wondering when the crime of hooliganism was promulgated.

Not long after, just half a cigarette's time, Liu Lihua called again.

"Yuan Chao, I just asked my friend at the Public Security Bureau, and there is no such thing as hooliganism in the criminal law."

Liu Lihua paused for a moment before continuing, "I also asked about Yu Shui's case. They said that if such a thing didn't cause any actual consequences, the police station would only criticize and educate him. At most, they would detain him for public security."

After listening to Liu Lihua's words, He Yuanchao was somewhat disappointed, but he finally recalled that the crime of hooliganism was only included in the Criminal Law in 1976. In 1983, the six crimes with increased sentencing ranges were listed first...

"Yuan Chao, don't think too much. Someone like Qiu Peng, who has bad roots, will get into trouble sooner or later. There will be plenty of opportunities to deal with him in the future!"

Liu Lihua on the other end of the phone saw that He Yuanchao hadn't responded for a long time and thought he was sulking, so she hurriedly spoke to comfort him.

He Yuanchao, whose thoughts were interrupted, did not explain anything. He followed Liu Lihua's words and said, "I'm fine, mom. I just feel that I can't get rid of the anger in my heart. It's a bit uncomfortable to hold it in."

"How about you take that little bastard to a deserted place and beat him up to vent your anger?"

Liu Lihua heard this and smiled and teased.

Seeing that Liu Lihua was about to go off topic, He Yuanchao quickly got down to business.

"Now that they found you over there, did they tell me how the matter was resolved?"

"Let's resolve the matter within the school. The rest is up to you."

After listening to the solution proposed by Liu Lihua, He Yuanchao found it a little unbelievable. Didn't Qiu Changgui go to such great lengths just to allow himself to give up pursuing the matter?
After thinking for a while and failing to come up with a clue, He Yuanchao couldn't help but ask, "Is it that simple?"

Liu Lihua did not hide anything and smiled and said, "That's the surface situation. As for the details, it's inconvenient to talk over the phone. When you have time, come to my place and we can talk about it in detail."

There seemed to be no better way out of the situation at the moment, so He Yuanchao thought about it for a moment and agreed to it.

Liu Lihua on the other end of the phone didn't say anything else after listening. She just said, "Take Zhang Min to her place more often when you have nothing to do," and then hung up.

When He Yuanchao came out of the inner office, everyone in the room looked at him.

Qiu Changgui walked up to him with a big smile on his face and said, "Director He, I lost my temper just now. I want to apologize to you. Please calm down and see if you can show some mercy and let Qiu Peng go."

When saying this, Qiu Changgui had no intention of taking advantage of the situation. He just wanted to give He Yuanchao a way out so that he wouldn't be embarrassed to speak up for the sake of face.

Since the relationship had already been torn apart, He Yuanchao was too lazy to play along with Qiu Changgui, and walked straight up to Principal Song and said:
"Principal Song, I have thought about what you just said, and I feel that it will also be good for my niece He Yushui if the matter is not escalated, so I agree to resolve this matter within the school." Principal Song's tense face instantly relaxed when he heard this. He didn't care how He Yuanchao figured out the matter. He was determined to get the matter resolved quickly.

"Comrade He, on behalf of the school, I would like to thank you for your trust. If you have any opinions on how to deal with this, please let me know."

Knowing that Principal Song wanted to get the answer right as soon as possible, He Yuanchao didn't hesitate and said bluntly: "Your school has the final say on how to deal with this matter. I only have one request, this matter must be dealt with severely."

This request is in line with Principal Song's idea. Naughty students like Qiu Peng must be dealt with severely, otherwise other students will follow suit and the school will be in chaos sooner or later.

With this idea in mind, Principal Song stopped wasting time, raised his hand and called Li Jinshan over, and began to discuss how to deal with the situation in front of everyone in the room.

Listening to Principal Song's continuous suggestions for handling the situation, Qiu Changgui and his son both looked unhappy, but neither of them said a word.

At this point, not alerting the police station is the best outcome.

Although both need to be dealt with, the school's handling and the public security's handling are two completely different concepts. One is a dispute between classmates. Even if the school's handling result is bad, there is still time to slowly reconcile and compromise.

But if the public security department really gets involved and He Yuanchao gets involved, the nature of the matter will be different. Even if this matter is not serious enough to be sentenced, it would be easy to get a criminal record.

While Qiu Changgui was still considering the pros and cons, Principal Song and Li Jinshan had already discussed the outcome.

In view of the fact that Qiu Peng did not cause any substantial harm to He Yushui, the school, in line with its original intention of curing the illness and saving lives, decided by Principal Song to criticize Qiu Peng in a school-wide notice, record a serious warning, and keep him on campus for one year. During this period, if he violates any discipline, he will be expelled from the school directly, and there will be no leniency.

After explaining the school's handling opinions, Principal Song saw that both parties had no objections, so he said a few polite words and hurriedly left the Security Department.

Seeing this, the rest of the people in the room had no intention of staying here, and except for a few people from the Security Department, they all walked out of the Security Department office.

When they got outside, He Yuanchao politely called He Yushui's class teacher and asked for two days off for his niece. After that, he exchanged a few words with Li Jinshan who came out to see him off, and then led He Yushui to the school gate.

On the way, He Yuanchao was afraid that He Yushui would think too much, so he told her the reason why he did not report to the police.

He Yushui was finally relieved to see that her second uncle was not implicated by her. As for how to deal with Qiu Peng, she didn't care at all.

The uncle and nephew talked as they walked and soon arrived at the place where the three-wheeled vehicles were parked in front of the school. He Yuanchao got on his bike and was about to start the engine when a military green GAZ jeep stopped not far from the three-wheeled vehicle with a creaking sound.

Hearing the noise, He Yuanchao turned his head and looked, only to see Qiu Peng sitting in the car, rolling down the window and showing him a smile that was uglier than crying, saying, "Director He, thank you for being so kind and letting me go this time. I will remember this favor."

After saying that, the GAZ car restarted and drove away into the distance at a rapid speed.

He Yuanchao didn't take Qiu Peng's threat seriously at all. He just muttered lightly, "You'd better go out at noon next time."

"Why do you only go out at noon?" He Yushui asked in confusion as he stood beside the car.

"Because sooner or later something bad will happen."

Hearing his niece's question, He Yuanchao looked up at the sky and spoke in a deep voice.

Hahaha~~
A well-known joke in later generations made He Yushui cover her mouth and laugh, and she suddenly felt closer to her second uncle.

While the uncle and nephew were chatting and laughing, a somewhat timid voice suddenly came from above.

"He... where... Director."
