A hero saving a damsel had his thunder stolen. The guys expressed their disappointnt but didn’t say much. After all, the outco was good; as long as everyone was safe, that was what mattered.
Then, they comforted Lin Siqi, patting their chests and spouting nonsense like, "Next ti sothing like this happens, co to us! We’re authoritative, we’re effective!" This made the girls present roll their eyes. Such an incident shouldn’t happen even once, yet they’re hoping for a next ti? After saying this, the guys belatedly realized their blunder, and their faces turned red with embarrassnt.
Thankfully, Lin Siqi understood their good intentions and didn’t press the matter. She just softly responded with an "Mmm," then packed her things and left the classroom.
Although she didn’t show it outwardly, the incident today had significantly impacted Lin Siqi. She needed so ti alone to calm down.
「anwhile, in the security departnt.」
After Zhang Beixing and his ’colleagues’ had carried Dong Shengjie to a safe place, Zhang Beixing exchanged so pleasantries with the security captain. He then excused himself to go on patrol, separating from them.
The security captain didn’t find anything odd about it. Instead, he marveled at what a good security guard Zhang Beixing was! Look at him! Even after such an ordeal, he hasn’t forgotten his duties and is determined to patrol and maintain campus stability. If it were any other guard, who knows how much they’d be boasting by now!
He really is born to be a security guard! the security captain mused. He hadn’t seen soone with such a pure heart in a long ti! This made him even more determined to recomnd Xiao Zhang to the higher-ups.
Little did he know that Xiao Zhang, the one he believed possessed such a pure heart, had just finished using the restroom. He was now standing in front of the n’s room in the academic building, chatting with Zheng Jituo on WeChat.
Patrol? Maintaining campus stability? Bullshit!
Zhang Beixing had left solely because he was about to blow his cover! After all, he wasn’t an actual security guard.
He had managed to deceive the security captain earlier, partly because the incident had happened so suddenly that the captain didn’t have ti to think it through. Another reason was Zhang Beixing’s workplace experience from his past life.
Though that period as a lowly laborer was hard to look back on, it had indeed taught him so seemingly useless yet essential little tricks.
With these tricks, deceiving them temporarily—pulling the wool over their eyes for a short while—wasn’t a problem. But keeping it up in the long run was definitely impossible!
Setting other things aside, if the security captain just asked one more question, like which team Zhang Beixing belonged to, he would be completely exposed.
So, rather than wait to be exposed and face extre embarrassnt, it was better to slip away early and let this blow over.
It has to be said, in university, as long as you don’t break the rules, the identity of a security guard really lets you do anything! If you’re in the right, even fighting in the classroom is no issue. Had that been a student, they’d likely have been dragged away by a host of teachers for a torrent of scolding and forced to write a self-critique. But then again, that’s students for you—university cattle. It’s just a pity I was too busy fighting and didn’t get Jituo to record it. A one-versus-five beatdown, total domination! If that had been recorded, I could have bragged about it for a year!
Seeing Zheng Jituo’s reply of ’didn’t record’ on his phone, Zhang Beixing felt quite regretful. He then shook his head, switched to Douyin, and started scrolling.
So imrsed in the digital world, he was completely unaware that as ti passed, a long queue had ford behind him.
And in this queue, many were tightly crossing their legs, staring eagerly at the closed restroom door.
These people felt very anxious and puzzled. Usually, during the week, only the won’s restroom in the academic building had a queue. So why was the n’s restroom also backed up today? It seed like all the unfortunate souls cursed with urgent, frequent, and incomplete urination had gathered here today to commiserate in the restroom, huh.
"Damn it! What’s going on up front? It’s been minutes, why aren’t we moving forward? Fuck! Can’t you hurry up? I can’t hold it anymore!"
Soone, unable to bear the pain in their bladder any longer, shouted loudly. His words imdiately triggered a chain reaction, and a barrage of impatient shouts and curses followed.
Hearing their voices, Zhang Beixing finally ca to his senses. He looked behind him and, upon seeing the queue of more than ten people, a puzzled expression appeared on his face. Then, he silently stepped aside.
Seeing this, the others imdiately stopped their cursing and hurriedly stepped forward. They were afraid that if they were too slow, so unscrupulous people would cut in line, so they continued to wait anxiously.
Seeing them like this, Zhang Beixing wore an expression of utter bewildernt, like an old man encountering a smartphone for the first ti. He simply couldn’t understand this baffling human behavior. They clearly couldn’t hold it any longer, yet they weren’t entering the restroom, just standing at the door? There was no one inside!
Idiots! Zhang Beixing muttered under his breath. After so thought, he figured this must be so bizarre new trend. Thus, he suppressed his desire to help and chose to respect their fate.
Twenty minutes had passed since Dong Shengjie and his group had co looking for trouble. Zhang Beixing was just walking out of the academic building.
Zhang Beixing patted his stomach, wondering whether to splurge on a al off-campus, when—
WEE-OO WEE-OO WEE-OO!
The harsh sound of sirens blared from outside the school.
Zhang Beixing looked and saw two police cars, one after another, entering the campus. Several police officers got out of the cars. One of them noticed Zhang Beixing in his security uniform and walked over. He pulled out his badge and said, "Excuse , we’re from the Shishi Police Station. We just received a report about a serious public brawl here. We need you to cooperate with our investigation."
Hearing this, Zhang Beixing’s mouth twitched. For a mont, he didn’t know what to say.
Saying he wouldn’t cooperate was definitely not an option. But if he said he would... damn it, he was one of the people involved in this public brawl! What kind of targeted strike was this?
At this mont, the song ’In My Song’ inexplicably started playing in Zhang Beixing’s mind. The lyrics seed so fitting for the current situation!
’Without any warning, without a shred of concern, you just appeared...’
Looking at the police officer in front of him, then at the clueless, onlooking students, Zhang Beixing, after a mont of thought, raised his hands with an honest expression. "So," he said, "if I tell you I’m one of the people involved in this incident, does that count as turning myself in?"
Police: "???"
Students: "???"
The scene suddenly fell silent. Everyone stared dumbfoundedly at Zhang Beixing, utterly confused.
Fortunately, police officers are, after all, police officers. Used to all sorts of situations, they quickly regained their composure. One of them muttered, "Let’s go," and they escorted Zhang Beixing to their car.
After that, the police officers split into three groups. One group went to the classroom to find the person who reported the incident, confirm the details, and inquire about what exactly had happened. Another group contacted the security departnt of Shi University to coordinate. The last group—actually just one officer—sat in the police car, responsible for watching Zhang Beixing.
「Twenty minutes later.」
Dong Shengjie and the other four were brought back by the police and escorted into a police vehicle. Under the bewildered gazes of the curious onlookers, the vehicles started and drove away from Shi University.
