Chapter 485 - A Belated Roommate (2/2)
At the end of the class meeting, Qin Haodong followed Zhang Xiaoyan to her office.
“Have a seat!” Zhang Xiaoyan said politely, “This is my office. In the future if you have any problems, you can come and find me.”
Qin Haodong said, “Teacher, I just wanted to ask, why has Dai Hongbing not checked in yet?”
Zhang Xiaoyan sighed and said, “He has actually already arrived in Shanghai. It’s just that he has encountered some special situations and is unable to report to the school.”
Qin Haodong asked with a frown, “What did he encounter? How come it’s more important than reporting to the school?”
“It’s because he was put in a detention center,” Zhang Xiaoyan said, “Dai Hongbing has been in Shanghai for two days. But as soon as he arrived, something happened and he was locked up in a detention center.
Now the senior management of the school is discussing this matter. If he is not able to report for military training tomorrow, it is very likely that they will cancel his admission.”
“What on earth did he do?”
Qin Haodong asked with surprise. Normally, a student who had just arrived in a different place was unlikely to make very serious mistakes.
Zhang Xiaoyan said, “I only learned of the situation from the school director. When Dai Hongbing came to Shanghai the day before yesterday, he was in a traffic accident as soon as he walked out of the station. An old lady in her 70s was hit by an unlicensed car. The car didn’t stop at all and just drove away.
“Seeing that the old lady was in critical condition, Dai Hongbing sent her to the hospital. However, he was detained in the hospital by her family members who arrived afterwards. They said that he was the one who hit the old lady. They want a compensation of 500,000 yuan from him, and for him to pay for all the medical expenses.
“Dai Hongbing was a student from the mountains with a tuition fee of less than 10,000 yuan. Later, the old lady’s family reported him to the police, so he was arrested and taken to the detention center.”
“That’s going over the top. How can they do this?!”
Qin Haodong was so angry that he hit the table and stood up. He had seen this kind of situation in the news before, but he did not expect to encounter it himself that day.
Zhang Xiaoyan said, “Currently, that’s all the information we know. However, the specific situation is still uncertain, because there were no cameras on the section of the road where the incident happened. Also, no witnesses have been found.
“Due to the strong request of the family, the police could only detain Dai Hongbing first.”
Qin Haodong said in a serious tone, “Since there is no evidence, why did the family say that Dai Hongbing hit the old lady?”
“The family only has one reason,” Zhang Xiaoyan said, “They have never seen each other before. If Dai Hongbing didn’t hit the old lady, why did he send her to the hospital?”
“What kind of bullshit reason is that? Absolutely ridiculous. Is it a sin to be a good person?”
In the past, Qin Haodong had always been furious when he saw such news. However, since it had happened to his roommate, he would not sit idly by and do nothing.
Zhang Xiaoyan looked at the boy in front of her. Her first impression of Qin Haodong was that he was gentle, and was indifferent towards favors or humiliation. He didn’t display any emotional changes even when he was being taken away by the police. However this time, he was like an angry lion, making her feel his coldness.
“What is the school’s attitude on this matter?”
Zhang Xiaoyan said, “For things like this where there’s no evidence, it is not convenient for the school to say too much. If Dai Hongbing cannot report to the school by tomorrow, then according to regulations, his student status can only be cancelled.”
Qin Haodong said, “If Dai Hongbing acted bravely for the sake of righteousness, wouldn’t it be too cold hearted for the school to do this?
“If even educational places are this cold hearted, then who will dare to help in situations with injustice in the future? Who will dare to lend a helping hand to those who need help?”
Zhang Xiaoyan sighed again, “The school also has its own reasons. At the moment, no one can prove that his actions were righteous. It’s just a story. As a school director, they can’t do much more than this.”
“Miss Zhang, can you tell me which detention center Dai Hongbing was taken to?”
“I heard it was the East District Detention Center.”
“Miss Zhang, Dai Hongbing is our roommate from the 508 dormitory. As long as he truly acted righteously, I will help him to come to our school before the military training tomorrow.”
With that, Qin Haodong turned around and left the office.
Zhang Xiaoyan shook her head. In her opinion, it was just a moment of fury from the big boy. No one could do anything to help in this kind of issue.
After leaving the office, Qin Haodong took a deep breath. He calmed himself down, then walked towards the classroom.
Before he had reached the entrance of the classroom, a beautiful figure appeared in the hallway. It was Su Hui.
“Qin Haodong, I lost this time. However, I’m not going to admit defeat.”
“That’s your problem. It has nothing to do with me.”
Qin Haodong did not stop his steps as he continued to walk forward.
Su Hui followed him and said, “I heard Li Meiyu say that you have medical skills. I want to compete against you.”
“I don’t have time.”
Qin Haodong continued walking forward.
“Are you scared?”
Qin Haodong glanced at Su Hui’s delicate face and said, “I don’t want to bully you!”
He was telling the truth. As the Emperor Green Wood who had cultivated in the Cultivation World for more than 500 years, he would indeed be bullying her if they competed in medical skills. However, this sounded like an insult to Su Hui.
Su Hui’s face turned red as she said angrily, “Qin Haodong, I have to compete against you once.”
Qin Haodong shook his head. Beneath this girl’s calm appearance was a competitive heart.
“I already told you, I don’t have time.”
Su Hui’s expression stiffened before she stubbornly said, “If you don’t compete against me, then I will follow you forever!”
