Protagonist:
Lin Hao
Lin Hao stared intently at the police officer before him, dissatisfaction surging in his heart like a tide, but he knew that what mattered most right now was to find out about Yuan Shanqing's situation. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions somewhat.
So Lin Hao spoke in as calm a tone as possible: "Officer, may I ask what business you have with Yuan Shanqing? She's just a student; surely she has nothing to do with Yuan Yong's prison break?"
The police officer coughed awkwardly, a barely perceptible panic flashing in his eyes, perhaps feeling guilty because Lin Hao had mentioned their past mistake. He put on a stern face and said: "We're just here to learn some details; we can't confirm anything yet. This doesn't concern you. You're a student—just focus on your studies. Teacher, please call Yuan Shanqing over; we need to take her back for questioning."
Hearing this, Lin Hao's anger flared up instantly. He widened his eyes, staring directly at the officer, and spoke righteously: "How does this not concern me? Back then I trusted you so much that I handed over Yuan Yong's criminal evidence to report him. What did you do? You didn't take it seriously at all! If I hadn't kept an extra eye out and also reported a copy to the City Public Security Bureau, Yuan Yong would have long since vanished! Now look—Yuan Yong escaped right under your noses. He's a ruthless person; he might come back to take revenge on me! Instead of rushing to hunt down the fugitive, you drive your police car openly to the school to find his daughter. Have you ever considered what impact this would have on a minor? Do you understand the Law on the Protection of Women and Children? Do you understand the Law on the Protection of Minors? What are your bureau chief's and political commissar's phone numbers? I'm calling them right now to ask: is this how you handle cases?"
Lin Hao's words came like a string of firecrackers, his eyes revealing determination and anger. He felt the police's approach was too irresponsible—not only might it cause Yuan Shanqing great psychological pressure and harm, but from a professional standpoint, there were also serious problems with their case-handling methods and priorities.
The atmosphere in the office instantly became tense to the extreme, as if the air had frozen. The teachers and the students gathered outside the window had just learned that it was Lin Hao who reported Yuan Yong, and they all looked worried, quickly urging: "Lin Hao, don't get agitated; listen to the officer's explanation first." But Lin Hao continued to stare straight at the officer, waiting for his response.
The officer was caught off guard by Lin Hao's questioning, his face turning red and then white. His lips moved; he wanted to retort but was momentarily speechless. After a long while, he stammered: "You kid, how can you be so unreasonable? We're following procedure. Questioning Yuan Shanqing is to solve the case as quickly as possible. We'll pay attention to our methods."
Lin Hao snorted coldly: "I hope you really can do that. Don't let innocent people get hurt because of your negligence and improper conduct again."
The officer nodded helplessly: "We will. Don't worry." But Lin Hao's heart was still filled with worry; he didn't know what Yuan Shanqing would face next.
The matter of Lin Hao reporting Yuan Yong was like a storm, sweeping through the school at an astonishing speed.
Students gathered in groups of three or five in classrooms and corridors, whispering and discussing the matter.
"Have you heard? Lin Hao actually reported Yuan Yong!" a student said in surprise.
"Really? No wonder it's been going around the school lately." another student replied.
The news spread like an out-of-control wildfire, quickly spreading from the school to the entire base. On streets and alleys, everyone was discussing this shocking news.
Cheng Pengfei and Li Dahai and the others had just learned this news too. Li Dahai had returned to work when Li Si transferred back to Qingdao.
In the evening, a group of people sat around Li Dahai's home with solemn expressions, an atmosphere of worry pervading the room.
"What are we going to do? Yuan Yong is too ruthless; Lin Hao is in danger now." Cheng Pengfei frowned and said anxiously, deep concern in his eyes.
"Exactly. I heard that after Yuan Yong escaped, he still hasn't run out of the base, and he even robbed several people with a knife, stabbing three people. If he takes revenge on Lin Hao, that would be terrible." Cheng Miaomiao's mother Jia Daiyu also echoed with worry, her voice trembling slightly, as if she had already imagined that terrible scene.
"Lin Hao, you kid, why are you so impulsive? How could you say you reported Yuan Yong in front of everyone?" Li Dahai couldn't help but scold.
"Right, isn't this putting yourself in danger?" others nodded in agreement.
However, they didn't know that this was actually Lin Hao doing it on purpose.
Lin Hao had his own considerations. He deeply understood the principle that you can catch a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against a thief for a thousand days.
He felt that instead of always living in fear of Yuan Yong's revenge, it was better to take the initiative, make the matter public, and draw everyone's attention.
At this moment, facing everyone's blame, Lin Hao sat silently to the side. He knew everyone was acting out of concern.
He slowly raised his head and said with a determined gaze: "I know you're all doing this for my own good, but I have my reasons for doing this. Yuan Yong has always been a hidden danger. If I hadn't spoken out, everyone might not have realized how dangerous he is. I hope that by making this public, the police will pay more attention, increase their efforts to hunt down Yuan Yong, and at the same time make the people around me more vigilant, so we can jointly guard against Yuan Yong. Although I know this might put me in temporary danger, I believe that as long as we all work together, we can definitely get through this difficult time."
After hearing Lin Hao's words, everyone fell into deep thought. Cheng Pengfei nodded slightly and said: "Lin Hao, what you say makes sense, but you also need to pay attention to your own safety. We can't let anything happen to you."
Li Dahai added: "Right, Lin Hao. We'll think of a way together. We can't let Yuan Yong succeed."
Others also expressed their support for Lin Hao, saying they would jointly deal with this crisis. The atmosphere in the room gradually became firm. Everyone decided to unite as one, jointly protect Lin Hao, and fight against the threat posed by Yuan Yong.
Lin Hao was thinking about how to deal with Yuan Yong's possible revenge, and he felt he needed to make some preparations.
So he found Li Dahai and said somewhat embarrassedly: "Uncle Dahai, can you get me a police baton from the factory Security Section? I want to keep it in my schoolbag. In case something happens, it can come in handy at a critical moment."
Li Dahai heard this, frowned, and thought for a while.
The next day, he mysteriously found Lin Hao, handed him something, and said with a smile: "Hao Hao, I didn't get the baton, but I got you something even better."
Lin Hao took it and saw it was actually an electric baton. He was both surprised and moved. "Uncle Dahai, you're awesome!"
Lin Hao said excitedly. Li Dahai patted Lin Hao's shoulder and advised: "Haozi, you must use this carefully. It can protect you at critical moments, but don't use it recklessly. Understand?"
Lin Hao nodded heavily, carefully put the electric baton into his schoolbag, and felt somewhat more reassured in his heart.
