Chapter One Hundred Eighty-Three: Who is Fatty?
"Yes, it's me, just me."
The voice echoed through the latrine, sounding muffled to everyone. The Security Chief's face changed dramatically as he hurriedly shouted to a few First Year students, "Quick, you guys, help lift him up."
The First Year students stood frozen in place, unresponsive. The Security Chief, feeling helpless, had no choice but to order several guards, "You all help lift him up first."
The guards exchanged glances, hesitating about whether to step forward. The Security Chief's face turned pale with urgency, his hair seemingly smoking as he urged, "Hurry up, lift him up! This is an alumnus of our school, Lu Bin from Jin Hao Group, quickly, get him up!"
Upon hearing this, the guards pinched their noses and approached. After all, this was the son of Jin Hao Group; helping him out of this embarrassing situation could earn them his favor. If he suddenly remembered them later and offered them a job at Jin Hao Group, that would be quite beneficial. With this thought in mind, they no longer cared how dirty Lu Bin was.
Lu Bin was completely sprawled in the latrine, his large backside sticking up while his head was stuck inside. The guards circled around him twice, unsure of how to proceed. It was still the Security Chief who commanded, "You grab one arm, you take the other one, and you hug his waist from behind."
The guards each grabbed one of Lu Bin's arms while the Red-Faced Guard hesitated behind Lu Bin's raised backside. Lu Bin's pants were already filthy from falling into the puddle of urine on the ground and emitted a terrible stench.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up!" The Security Chief barked orders from the side. With no other option, the Red-Faced Guard gritted his teeth and held his breath as he hugged Lu Bin from behind. Once the preparations were complete, the Security Chief reassured Lu Bin, "Don't panic; we're pulling you out now." He then commanded the guards, "Be gentle and pull him out slowly. One, two, pull."
"Ouch!" Lu Bin screamed as his hefty body was yanked out of the latrine, stumbling backward and falling along with the Red-Faced Guard who was holding him from behind. The Red-Faced Guard sat dazed on the filthy ground, staring blankly at the Security Chief.
The Security Chief stepped forward and said to Lu Bin, "I'm really sorry; you should change your clothes first."
Lu Bin snorted coldly without looking at the Security Chief and strode away with a dark expression.
The Security Chief hurried to follow him, with two guards trailing behind. Only the Red-Faced Guard remained sitting on the floor, still staring blankly ahead.
The Security Chief chased after him and saw Lu Bin heading towards the North. Just as he got closer, Lu Bin got into a parked Black Porsche. The Security Chief was about to say something when the car door slammed shut with a bang. The engine roared to life, and with a press of the accelerator, the Black Porsche surged forward for several dozen meters before turning onto the main road.
"Section Chief, what should we do?" a guard asked, watching the dust swirling up from the road.
"What else can we do? I need to report this to the principal." Lu Bin's presence at the school was significant, and given the current situation, it was necessary to inform higher-ups. As the Security Chief was contemplating this, the Red-Faced Guard came out of the restroom, rushed over to him, and said with a sobbing tone, "Section Chief, look at my clothes; I’m afraid I can't wear them anymore."
The Security Chief covered his nose and stepped back. "You have time; hurry home, take a shower, and come back in clean clothes."
"Then Section Chief, can I get a new uniform?"
"A new one? Where would you find a new uniform? Just wash it and wear it again."
"Section Chief!"
...
Under the Senior High Building, Zhang Qiu, Gao Zhi, and three other students stood under a tree. Zhang Qiu was fine, but the others were either bent over or leaning against the tree, all panting heavily. Zhang Qiu observed this and thought that this wouldn't do; they needed to strengthen their training in the future. But that was a matter for later; there were more important things at hand. Zhang Qiu looked at Gao Zhi and asked, "How's your mouth? It's bleeding."
Gao Zhi waved his hand dismissively and laughed carefreely. "It's nothing; I just bit my lip."
Zhang Qiu nodded and asked again, "What happened? Who is that Fatty? How did the fight start?"
"Brother Qiu, I'm so sorry; it's all because of me that you got dragged into this."
Before Gao Zhi could speak, a student whom Zhang Qiu didn't recognize apologized. Zhang Qiu was confused and turned to Gao Zhi for clarification. Gao Zhi explained, "Brother Qiu, here's what happened: that Fatty was bullying this guy in the restroom, so I went to intervene. I didn't expect that Fatty would be so arrogant. I thought to myself, 'Am I supposed to let him get away with this?' So I just fought back."
"Then you got beaten up?"
Gao Zhi's face turned red as he waved his hands repeatedly. "Brother Qiu, you can't say that! Your brother got beaten, and you're laughing at me."
"But you’re fine now, right? It was so satisfying to see you beat Fatty, wasn't it?"
"Damn, Brother Qiu, it was so satisfying! No doubt about it, absolutely impressive." Gao Zhi recalled the scene from earlier and felt his blood boil. The way the fight started without any warning, and that massive figure of Fatty was nothing under Brother Qiu's hands. In just a few moves, he was thrown to the side of the latrine. Such a scene is rarely seen even in movies.
Zhang Qiu gladly accepted the praise and didn't forget to compliment the two brothers who helped Gao Zhi in the fight. The two brothers beamed with pride at their leader's praise, standing tall. Zhang Qiu then looked at the unfamiliar student and asked, "What happened between you and Fatty?"
"Brother Qiu, here's the thing. I came out of the restroom just as Fatty was going in. You saw his huge frame; we bumped into each other. Fatty was all aggressive and wanted to teach me a lesson, and that's when this big brother stepped in to help me. Thank you, big brother." The student expressed his gratitude towards Gao Zhi.
"You're welcome, you're welcome; this is what a big brother is for," Gao Zhi said with a grin as he pushed Zhang Qiu forward.
"Thank you, big brother," the student said again.
Zhang Qiu noticed that the student looked thin, with messy hair that was greasy and a face that showed signs of neglect, resembling a good kid who only knew how to study. He smiled and said, "No need to thank us; our Hall Society's mission is to protect vulnerable students."
"Big brother, I've heard of your Hall Society for a long time," the student said shyly while looking at Zhang Qiu.
Gao Zhi patted his shoulder and asked, "So, do you want to join us?"
"Well, um..."
Seeing the student's hesitation, Zhang Qiu directly said, "Alright, alright, let's all get back to class."
"Brother Qiu, we're leaving now. If anything comes up, just call us." Two members of the club bid farewell to Zhang Qiu, who chuckled as he watched them leave. Lean Student thanked Zhang Qiu and Gao Zhi once more, and Zhang Qiu reminded him to study hard before they departed.
On the way back to the classroom, Gao Zhi punched the wall in frustration. Zhang Qiu looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Gao Zhi replied gloomily, "That fight was pointless. That guy really has no sense; we helped him so much, yet he won't join us."
"Forget it. This kind of thing is voluntary. If he doesn't want to, we can't force him. But you handled it well; if it were me, I would have stepped in too. I can't stand seeing someone bully a good person."
As they spoke, they reached the classroom door. Zhang Qiu called out, "Reporting!"
"Reporting!" Zhang Qiu shouted again.
Still, no one responded. Zhang Qiu pushed the door open directly. The desk was still cluttered with papers and textbooks, all left open, but Zhao Guohong was nowhere to be found. Zhang Qiu didn't think much of it; if the teacher wasn't there, so be it. He passed by Jiang Xue and teased her a bit before sitting back down. Just a few minutes later, Zhao Guohong walked in with a face as dark as a frostbitten eggplant and stood right next to Wang Zhengxiang, startling him.
"Zhang Qiu, come out with me!" Zhao Guohong said curtly before exiting through the back door. Wang Zhengxiang stared blankly at Zhang Qiu and asked, "Brother Qiu, what did you do this time?"
Zhang Qiu smiled slightly but didn't answer. Could it really be happening this quickly? He shook his head.
"Brother Qiu, I'm going with you," Gao Zhi said as he stood up.
"Brother Qiu, I'm going too," Wang Zhengxiang said, not understanding the situation, and stood up as well. This prompted several students from the class who had joined Hall Society to stand up too—almost half the class.
Zhang Qiu hurriedly said, "Everyone sit down! It's not like we're going to fight; the homeroom teacher wants to see me about something else. Please sit down and continue working on your problems; study hard." Then he added, "Gao Zhi will come with me."
"Brother Qiu, I’m going too," Wang Zhengxiang looked at Zhang Qiu.
Zhang Qiu directly pressed on Wang Zhengxiang's shoulders until he sat down, smiling, "You can go when it's your turn." He then gave Gao Zhi a glance, and the two of them walked out together.
As soon as Zhang Qiu left, the classroom erupted into noise. The class leaders came out to maintain order, but it was ineffective. Zhao Pingchuan stood up at this moment, cleared his throat, and said loudly, "Everyone quiet down, don't cause trouble for Brother Qiu." Only then did the students settle down, but they continued to discuss among themselves.
"Brother Qiu, is it about that incident in the restroom?" Gao Zhi asked Zhang Qiu in a low voice.
Zhang Qiu smiled helplessly, "How would I know? If there really is something, it probably is that." He said this, but inside he was quite surprised that they had come to him so quickly. Director Zhao and the Security Department knew his identity; who exactly was that Fatty?
"What are you mumbling about?" Zhao Guohong, walking in front, turned back to look at them with a frown and asked, "Gao Zhi, why are you here too?"
"Teacher, I'm afraid this matter concerns me as well."
Zhao Guohong stopped in his tracks and shot a fierce glare at Gao Zhi, angrily saying, "Stop messing around; can't you learn something good?"
"To the Director's Office!" Zhao Guohong finished speaking and opened the door to walk in. Zhang Qiu glanced at Gao Zhi and said with a smile, "Let's go; no matter what happens, we'll just face it." With that, he also walked in.
