Chapter 49: You, Worthy of Being a Teacher?

After Qin Chuan and Jiang Xue were rescued, the little girl closely followed behind Qin Chuan, her gaze resolute and unyielding, refusing to leave his side even for a step.

With that single leap just moments ago, the former Jiang Xue had died.

Starting today, the reborn Jiang Xue's life belonged solely to Qin Chuan.

"Captain Qin, are you alright?"

Lu Zhiguo was truly in absolute awe!

Qin Chuan had assumed office only yesterday morning, which was barely twenty-four hours ago.

Yet, in such a short span of time, what had Qin Chuan accomplished?

First, he solved a headless bloody corpse case, arresting the suspect less than an hour after arriving at the crime scene.

Immediately following that, under the charge of provoking quarrels and making trouble, he arrested Song Yaozong, the local tyrant of Zhulin County.

These two incidents firmly established Qin Chuan's footing in the Criminal Investigation Brigade and built his absolute authority.

Which criminal investigator didn't carry a sense of righteousness in their bones, wishing to punish the wicked and uphold the good?

Yet in Zhulin County, there were some people whom you arrested in the front, only for them to be released from the back.

As for who Song Yaozong was—when Song Hui was the captain of the criminal police, he would detour around him upon sight.

And Qin Chuan? He said he would arrest the man, and he arrested him.

Believe it or not, the guy was currently sitting in the detention center.

And today, he had rescued a female student who attempted to jump from a building.

On the rooftop, Qin Chuan's unhesitating leap saved not only Jiang Xue's life.

It also saved Lu Zhiguo's faith!

To charge into battle for a man like this, Lu Zhiguo would have no regrets even in death.

Qin Chuan shook his arm. "It's nothing serious, just a scratch."

"Should we go to the hospital?"

Qin Chuan shook his head.

The business was not yet finished.

Though Jiang Xue was saved, the promise Qin Chuan made to her had not yet been fulfilled.

Eyes of Sin!

Liang Guofa, sin value 54, molested multiple female students, recorded videos to use as blackmail, accepted massive bribes from the cafeteria contractor, directed others to rig bids during the construction of the office building, resulting in shoddy construction that caused a teacher who reported him to die with a grievance, and buried the body beneath the playground.

Qiu Guozheng, sin value 39, repeatedly raped female students, and colluded with Liang Guofa in the shoddy construction of the office building.

Cheng Liang, sin value 44, suspected of multiple counts of gang rape, rape, and drug-facilitated sexual assault, and directed idlers outside the school to threaten and intimidate students.

Sun Shaofeng, sin value 19, secretly filmed students' private videos, which once caused a female student to become pregnant and have an abortion, and colluded with outsiders to harm students.

Among these four individuals, not a single one was a good person.

Now that he had crossed paths with them, how could Qin Chuan let them go?

"Captain Qin, thank you so much!"

Liang Guofa trotted over and immediately showered Qin Chuan with flattery. "On behalf of the vocational high school, I express my utmost gratitude to you."

With that, Liang Guofa turned to Jiang Xue. "You go back to your classroom with the head teacher first and wait for the school's disciplinary action!"

Though Jiang Xue had experienced life and death, she was still only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old child.

Faced with Liang Guofa's words, she instinctively displayed fear.

"Principal Liang, what did you just say about... disciplinary action?"

"Yes, disciplinary action! This little girl disrupted the school's normal teaching order, caused such a negative impact, and even implicated you in an injury. Captain Qin, rest assured, we will severely punish her!"

"Right, right, right," Vice Principal Qiu Guozheng chimed in to show his stance. "For a student like this, at the very least it calls for a major demerit and a self-criticism before the whole school."

Qin Chuan sneered. "Does Vice Principal Qiu think... that this punishment is appropriate?"

Qiu Guozheng was stunned...

Was a major demerit not enough?

Cheng Liang felt his opportunity to suck up had arrived, as he was the most familiar with the school's disciplinary regulations.

"Captain Qin, according to school regulations, we can expel her directly."

Expel?

Liang Guofa and Qiu Guozheng immediately snapped to attention and chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes, expel her, expel her immediately!"

During this, Liang Guofa cast a secret glance at Jiang Xue, thinking it a pity.

Although this little girl looked deeply resentful and oppressed, her figure was genuinely good and her looks were pretty.

If she were expelled... such a fine young woman might end up benefiting those bastards outside the school.

Still, it didn't matter. There were other students in the school prettier than Jiang Xue and with worse family conditions.

Offending Qin Chuan over this matter was simply not worth it.

Qin Chuan looked at the three men before him, almost laughing out of anger.

"Principal Liang... did you just say severe punishment?"

"Yes, yes." Liang Guofa nodded and bowed.

"Principal Qiu... did you just say a major demerit?" Qiu Guozheng nodded heavily.

Qin Chuan then looked at Cheng Liang. "Director Cheng... you said expulsion?"

"She has severely violated school discipline and must be expelled!"

"Good, good, good!" Qin Chuan laughed heartily. "What a fine severe punishment, demerit, and expulsion!"

Standing closest to Cheng Liang, Qin Chuan swung his hand and slapped him right across the face!

Crack!

This slap left everyone dumbfounded.

What was going on?

Weren't things just fine a moment ago?

Why had he started hitting people?

"Captain Qin... you..."

Crack!

Qin Chuan was in no mood to coddle him now, delivering a series of alternating slaps that knocked out two of the man's teeth.

"A student jumped from a building to commit suicide, and instead of trying to persuade her, you bastards want to punish her severely? Demerit? Expulsion?"

Slap, slap, slap!

Qin Chuan grabbed the man by the collar and rained down over a dozen slaps repeatedly.

"Captain Qin, Captain Qin!"

Lu Zhiguo hurried forward to pull Qin Chuan back. "Calm down, calm down!"

Liang Kai was also stunned by Qin Chuan's actions.

Beating people in public—was this still how a police officer behaved?

"Lu Zhiguo, cuff him for me!"

Huh?

Lu Zhiguo looked at Qin Chuan in confusion.

Beating the man was one thing, but why cuff him too?

"Captain Qin, this... this..."

Liang Kai also stepped forward. "Qin Chuan, forget it. This isn't according to protocol."

Police officers couldn't just cuff people at random.

In fact, Liang Kai hadn't wanted to meddle in Qin Chuan's affairs to begin with.

He had no conflict of interest with Qin Chuan; they each walked their own paths.

As a member of the bureau's party committee, he could see much more than ordinary police officers.

Although Qin Chuan was riding a wave of momentum right now, he had offended Dou Sihai and Gao Qingshan; how far he could go in the future was uncertain.

Liang Kai neither wanted to make an enemy of Qin Chuan nor get too entangled with him.

He had reached his current position entirely through his own efforts.

However, the sight of Qin Chuan leaping from the building to save someone had genuinely earned Liang Kai's admiration.

Had it been him, he certainly wouldn't have dared.

Therefore, Liang Kai tried to put in a good word for Qin Chuan: "Director Cheng, you should calm down too. Captain Qin was just too emotional, but don't take it to heart."

"As for that student, I suggest we drop the disciplinary action."

"Later, I'll host a gathering and have Captain Qin invite you for a drink, and we'll consider this matter settled."

Although Cheng Liang was no big figure, if he truly decided to pursue Qin Chuan for assaulting someone in public, Qin Chuan would undoubtedly face trouble.

For instance, Gao Qingshan's faction could easily make a big issue out of this incident.

Even if it didn't cost Qin Chuan his badge, taking a disciplinary mark wasn't worth it.

"Sha... offi... wuwuwu... jin... da zhui... too much wah..."

Unable to speak clearly, Cheng Liang wept bitterly as he spat out yet another tooth.

Qin Chuan hadn't expected Liang Kai to speak up for him, but his beating of Cheng Liang wasn't just because of Jiang Xue's matter.

"Director Liang, thank you for your concern, but..." With a sudden kick, Qin Chuan slammed his foot into the man's waist.

Liang Kai frowned slightly. He had already spoken on the matter, yet Qin Chuan still continued to beat the man—this showed a complete lack of respect for him.

"Lu Zhiguo, get his mobile phone out and show everyone what kind of videos are inside!"

Lu Zhiguo was the most obedient. He stepped forward to take Cheng Liang's phone, but the man resisted with all his might.

However, how could an already injured Cheng Liang possibly overpower Lu Zhiguo?

"Hand it over!"

A moment later, Lu Zhiguo unlocked the photo gallery and randomly played a video.

After watching for just two seconds, his expression changed drastically.

"Cheng Liang! You animal!"

He then delivered a kick straight to Cheng Liang's head. "Damn your mother! A piece of human trash like you deserves to be a teacher?"

"You actually have the nerve to call yourself a role model for educators?"
