Chapter 35: You Think You’re Right After Hitting Someone?
“Warmly congratulating our school’s student, Qi Xuan, on ascending the Floating Continent and becoming the first person globally to land.”
Jiang City No. 1 High School, under a huge banner.
Sun Weike and Li Qiang walked out of the school gate one after the other.
“Principal Zhou, Teacher Chen, no need to see us off any further.”
“Everyone, please stay your steps, stay your steps.”
After bidding farewell to the extremely enthusiastic teachers and school leaders, the two got into the car parked on the side of the road.
The driver started the car and drove away.
In the passenger seat, through the rearview mirror, seeing the school leaders still standing at the school gate, Li Qiang couldn’t help but exclaim:
“This is more in line with the reaction to accepting CCTV interviews. Under normal circumstances, how could they not even be able to enter the door?”
The driver glanced at Sun Weike in the back seat and asked:
“Sun, where are we going next?”
This question stumped Sun Weike.
Since failing to interview Qi Xuan’s parents, she turned her interview target to Qi Xuan’s neighbors, school teachers, and others.
These people didn’t refuse her interview; rather, they were very enthusiastic in front of CCTV’s name.
But the answers they gave were very ordinary.
In their eyes, Qi Xuan was a good student, diligent and hardworking, willing to help others, and studious, etc., and he didn’t even go to internet cafes.
To be honest, Sun Weike didn’t quite believe it. She didn’t think that Qi Xuan, who used AA as a means of dissuasion in blind dates, would be so gentle and well-behaved in Middle School and High School.
But that’s what they all said, and you can’t question them, because it’s also a fact that Qi Xuan had good grades before, and the time spent on his studies would certainly not be less, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to get into a 985 university.
It’s just that, it’s hard to cut out enough material for reporting from these praise-filled remarks.
She also didn’t want to spend so much effort just to make a mediocre report that simply sang praises.
The problem is, the people who should be interviewed have been interviewed almost.
If she still wanted to interview, who should she look for next?
Sun Weike was distressed, and Li Qiang in the passenger seat suddenly said:
“Right, didn’t Qi Xuan mention his childhood friend Acheng during the live stream? His childhood friend is also from Jiang City. We can go and interview him. The faces of students in the eyes of teachers and close friends are definitely different.”
The driver also hurriedly said:
“I think this suggestion is good. Someone impersonated Qi Xuan’s ex-girlfriend yesterday. I remember that his childhood friend spoke up online to refute it, saying that he knew all the blind date experiences, which shows that he is still very close to Qi Xuan.”
Sun Weike’s eyes immediately lit up, and she immediately found the account online and sent a private message to request an interview.
Before receiving a response, she received a message on her phone:
“Qi Xuan beat up classmates in high school, bullied the old and weak, and did all sorts of evil. If you don’t want to be kept in the dark, you can go to the following place for more details—Jiang City Loving Elderly Home.”
Sun Weike’s breathing suddenly quickened, and she immediately instructed the driver on the direction.
Two hours later, it was nearly seven o’clock in the evening.
Sun Weike met Xue Cheng, who was very formally dressed, in a hotel private room.
“You three have come from afar. I haven’t had time to entertain you properly. I heard that you’ve been interviewing for most of the day and haven’t had time to eat. I hope the dishes here can suit your tastes.”
“Mr. Xue is too polite.”
After a few people exchanged pleasantries, they all sat at the table.
Because they had indeed been busy for most of the day and hadn’t eaten, Sun Weike and the others didn’t decline too much, and quickly ate the dishes that were just ordered, filling the table.
When they had almost finished eating, Sun Weike said seriously:
“We are very grateful for Mr. Xue’s hospitality, but the following interviews may involve some more sensitive questions, and I hope it won’t make you feel offended.”
Xue Cheng said with a smile:
“Sun, just ask. I guarantee I will tell you everything I know.”
Li Qiang silently turned on the camera, and after completing the preparations before the shooting, he made a gesture to Sun Weike.
Sun Weike immediately said in a deep voice:
“Since Qi Xuan started the Sky Screen Live Stream, the entire Blue Star’s attention has been focused on him, but people don’t know enough about him. Even yesterday, someone impersonated his ex-girlfriend, so this time we want to interview the people around him to restore a real Qi Xuan for everyone.”
“So, as his childhood friend, as the good brother he once admitted in the live stream, what is your opinion of Qi Xuan?”
Xue Cheng seemed to have thought of something, and said in a calm tone:
“Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, he is a good person, a person who dares to act, but in my eyes, he is destined to suffer many losses in his life, and I won’t be surprised if he ends up in jail one day.”
Sun Weike’s eyes flashed:
“Jail? Is this the image he has in your mind? Do you think he is a criminal?”
“It’s not that he’s a criminal, but he’s very disadvantaged. You should know that we always believe that righteous behavior is not necessarily accepted by the law.
For example, if you help an elderly person who has fallen on the street, you may be entangled by them, and even have to compensate in the end. Then do you think helping the elderly is a crime?”
“If he knew you were evaluating him like this, would he think you were slandering him?”
“You can rest assured about this,”
Xue Cheng smiled faintly:
“I don’t like to gossip behind people’s backs. I’ve said these words to him more than once.”
“But,”
Xue Cheng spread his hands, very helpless:
“His personality has always been stubborn, and it’s useless to say it. He will still do what he should do next time.”
“So, he did beat up his classmates in high school?”
Hearing this, Xue Cheng’s face immediately showed obvious surprise.
After a pause, he asked:
“Where did you hear this?”
“I have my own channels of information. You just need to say whether he hit people in high school or not.”
Sun Weike stared at him with bright eyes.
Li Qiang also zoomed in on the lens, unwilling to miss any change in his expression.
“Hit people in high school? Let me think, Dong… what’s his name? Dong Zitao, right? I remember now, you wouldn’t have reminded me, I almost didn’t react.”
Xue Cheng slapped his forehead, and then said speechlessly:
“This happened so many years ago, I didn’t expect him to still remember it. It seems that his resentment towards Xuanzi was really great back then, and he couldn’t help but come out as soon as he found an opportunity.”
“In other words, Qi Xuan did hit him, and even forced him to drop out of school?”
Sun Weike pressed on, directly pointing out the truth.
Xue Cheng hurriedly waved his hand:
“No, no, no, Sun, you misunderstood something.”
“It wasn’t just Xuanzi who beat up Dong Zitao. I also participated. You can’t exclude me.”
“As for fighting and brawling, it didn’t start in high school. At least from elementary school, we were already fighting with people.”
Seeing Xue Cheng’s proud expression, Sun Weike suddenly felt doubtful of life, what is there for you to be proud of?
You’re proud of hitting people?
