Ten minutes later.
On the road in front of Tsinghua University's main entrance, six or seven police cars whizzed past. From afar, they could already hear the blaring of their sirens. It was a very big scene. Moreover, from the license plates, these police cars were clearly not from the police station in the district, but from the local police station. After receiving the report, the police station was the first to receive the news. Hostage kidnapping? This was a serious matter and was no longer something that the local police could handle. The police station's people immediately organized a team of people to rush to the scene. They were even armed with guns. More than a dozen people arrived.
But when they arrived at the scene, the police officers in the cars saw a relatively calm scene. A bunch of car windows had been smashed and a bunch of people were gathered around. There were even reporters around?
They all got out of their cars.
"What's going on?"
"What's going on?"
"Who called the police?"
Officer Sun, who was leading the team, looked around. "Who is Lei Feng?"
Suddenly, Zhang Ye strode over from the side. "I am, I am! I called the police! "
When the dozen or so police officers saw this, their eyes immediately widened and they were a little stunned. Who was this person in front of them? How could they not know who he was? All of them knew him, which was why they all fainted. Lei Feng? Lei Feng, your sister! Isn't this fucking Teacher Zhang Ye! When did your surname become Lei?!
The people of this world did not know who Lei Feng was.
When Liao Qi and the teachers from the Tsinghua University student recruitment team saw that the police had arrived, their morale rose. They were no longer afraid of Zhang Ye and rushed forward, shouting, "Comrade Police, you're finally here! It was him who smashed our Tsinghua University's car! He interfered with our normal student recruitment! He even beat us up! He even beat us up! He's simply lawless! "
"Look at this!"
"The car windows are all shattered!"
"It's that brick over there. It was Zhang Ye who smashed it!"
"This is too much! How can they bully others like this! "
The Tsinghua University teachers roared again and again!
The few Peking University student recruitment teachers who stayed behind also immediately fought back!
Su Na shouted, "Comrade Police, this matter is not Teacher Zhang's responsibility. It was the Tsinghua University people who forcefully kidnapped the students. Some of the students did not want to leave with them at all, so they were forcefully dragged out of their homes or schools and brought here by them!"
Han Henian added, "After we stopped them here, the Tsinghua University people even locked the car doors from the inside and prevented the students from coming out. They even put the students under house arrest! This is insane! "
Qinghua: "House arrest my ass!"
Peking University: "If it's not house arrest, then what is it!"
Qinghua: "You're the ones fighting for him now! He used violent means to snatch the student away! "
Peking University: "We're different from you! The students took the initiative to follow us, and we didn't force them, but what about you? The student didn't want to come at all, but you guys captured him! "They were holding onto this incident and wouldn't let it go!
Qinghua: "Bullsh * t!"
The two sides blamed each other and started cursing again!
When the police officers from the branch office heard this, they felt a headache coming on. They had received two previous reports. One was that someone had reported that someone had committed assault at the entrance of Tsinghua University — this was reported by someone from Tsinghua University. The first was to report a kidnapping at the entrance of Tsinghua University — this was reported by Zhang Ye. Originally, the police officers thought that they were talking about the same thing, that someone had committed a kidnapping here, but when they arrived, they realized that it wasn't the same thing at all. It was two separate and opposite things!
A few of the police officers were speechless for a long time before putting their guns away. They knew that the matter was not that serious. What assault, what kidnapping? Those were just two groups of people trying to add fuel to the fire! Regarding the matter of Tsinghua University and Peking University snatching the top scorers, they were actually not unfamiliar with it. Every year, there would be disputes and conflicts over such matters, and the local police officers had dealt with them before. However, this was the first time they had dealt with such a serious conflict of smashing cars and beating people up. In the past, they would at most scold and quarrel, but it wasn't this serious. They did not expect that a bunch of intellectuals would actually get into a fight!
How should they deal with it?
This was not going to be easy to handle!
The leading police officer felt a headache coming on. Be it Peking University or Tsinghua University, they were both the top and second most prestigious universities in the country. When it came to the administrative hierarchy, Peking University and Tsinghua University's administrative hierarchy was even higher than that of their branch office. They were universities that were at the vice-ministerial level!
The leading police officer could only say, "Just what happened? Tell us one by one."
A female teacher from Tsinghua University shouted, "Zhang Ye hit someone! He hit Professor Liao!"
Liao Qi pulled up his sleeves. "Look, it's all bruised!"
Several police officers went up to have a look. It was indeed bruised, but it wasn't serious.
But Zhang Ye looked at the people from Tsinghua University. "Did I make a move?"
Someone from Tsinghua University said, "Why didn't you make a move!"
Zhang Ye threw up his hands. "If we're talking about making a move, it should be your Professor Liao who grabbed my shoulder first. He even pushed me, but what about me? I didn't even raise my arm! "
Liao Qi was furious!
The leading police officer did not listen to their side of the story. He went over to the crowd to understand the situation.
"Who made a move first? Did you guys see it?"
"I saw it. Uh, it was that professor from Tsinghua University who grabbed Zhang Ye's shoulder first."
"And then?"
"Then that professor threw himself out of the car."
"Threw himself out? By himself? "
"Yeah, it seems like no one hit him."
"No one made a move?"
"I saw Zhang Ye's shoulder shake a little, but it didn't seem like anything happened. That professor just kicked himself out of the car. I couldn't see what exactly happened, but I'm sure that Zhang Ye did not raise his arm."
"Alright, I got it."
A few of the onlookers recounted what they had seen as the truth.
When the Tsinghua University people heard this, they clearly could not accept it.
The leading police officer said, "Let's put this aside for now. Who was the one who smashed the car window?"
Zhang Ye said, "I was the one who smashed it."
The police officer asked, "Why?"
Zhang Ye said matter-of-factly, "They kidnapped the students. As a citizen of China and a public figure who sets an example for others, I naturally couldn't stand by and do nothing when something like this happened. Acting bravely for a just cause is what I should do!"
The police officers: "…"
The Tsinghua University teachers nearly vomited blood!
"Holy shit!"
"What do you mean by acting bravely for a just cause!"
"You're clearly trying to snatch the students away!"
"Y-You're too shameless, Zhang Ye!"
When the Peking University teachers heard this, they broke into a sweat!
But at this moment, a few cars drove over. It was the student recruitment teachers and top scorers from Peking University who had just left. Huang Lingling and a few other examinees alighted from the cars. A few of the students' parents also appeared and followed them back to Peking University.
"Teacher!" Huang Lingling said anxiously.
Su Na hurriedly said to the police officer, "These are the students who were forcefully taken away!"
The police officer immediately asked, "You were all taken away by the Tsinghua University people? Did you do it willingly? "
Huang Lingling said, "About that … I didn't do it willingly."
Another young boy also said awkwardly, "I-I had already applied to Peking University and arranged to meet with the Tsinghua University student recruitment teachers. B-But I was dragged away by the Tsinghua University teachers during the graduation ceremony. I didn't want to come. My parents had already asked me to apply for Peking University."
Clearly, after Peking University found out about the incident, they sensed that Zhang Ye might have gotten into some trouble and sent someone over to help him out.
That young boy's parents also spoke up.
The father said, "Tsinghua University is too much. My son didn't even want to leave with them, but they still dragged him into the car. That's a kidnapping!"
The mother said, "I heard from a teacher at school that my son had been taken away. My son's father and I were so scared that we rushed over here. We thought it was a criminal gang that kidnapped and sold our children!"
Liao Qi said angrily, "We're here to recruit students!"
The mother harrumphed, "Who knows what you're here for!"
Liao Qi said, "You …"
These two parents were really on Zhang Ye's side.
Zhang Ye looked at the two parents with a puzzled look.
Su Na had already walked up to Zhang Ye and coughed softly. "These are Zhou Zheng's parents. Zhou Zheng's parents are both graduates of Peking University and were famous people at Peking University back then."
Only then did Zhang Ye realize why the two of them were speaking up for him. So they were on the same side!
Following that, Huang Lingling's father also said, "It's the same for my child. Her dream has always been to get into Peking University since she was young, but the Tsinghua University people forcefully took my child away without saying a word. My child was scared out of her wits. How can they do things like that! This is daylight robbery! Even if the Tsinghua University teachers are here to recruit students and have no other motives, they still can't do something like that. This is too disrespectful to the child's subjective opinion! "
Following that, a few of the students' parents grumbled. Some of the parents were even graduates of Peking University, so who else could they be siding with but Peking University? Some of the parents were also really unhappy with Tsinghua University's forceful actions. In their opinion, they should at least have informed their parents about such a serious matter. How could they just take their children away like that? Wasn't this just messing around?!
The situation turned chaotic again.
"No!"
"We're doing this for the sake of the children!"
"We've already called you guys!"
The Tsinghua University student recruitment teachers tried their best to explain!
Meanwhile, the students' parents were questioning them one after another!
After more than 20 minutes of arguing, the police officer who led the team finally understood what was going on. When they stopped arguing, the police officer stood in the middle of the two sides and looked at the Tsinghua University people. "I think I understand the situation now. Professor Liao's injuries are actually not that serious. Besides, the crowd has testified that Professor Zhang did not push or hit anyone, so this matter has come to an end. As for smashing the cars..." He looked at Zhang Ye and said, "Professor Zhang's handling of the matter was indeed inappropriate. He looked at Zhang Ye and said, "Professor Zhang's way of handling the matter was indeed very inappropriate. Actually, it was just a matter of student recruitment, so no matter what, he shouldn't have smashed up a car. But similarly, Tsinghua University's side has also made quite a big mistake. Without respecting the wishes of the examinees, they forcefully took the examinees away. That was too much. Both sides have their faults in this matter and are responsible for it, but it's not to the extent of committing murder or kidnapping. It's already too much. How about this, I'll mediate between the two sides. I think we should let this matter rest!"
Liao Qi stared at him. "Let it rest?"
"What about our cars? He smashed three cars! "
"How can that be! Let it rest! That's impossible! "
The Tsinghua University people did not agree to it. Only Xin Ya did not say anything.
Zhang Ye and the Peking University people did not have any objections. The cars had been smashed and the students had been taken back, so they naturally did not have any other requests.
That police officer frowned and said, "If I were to handle this matter, that's the only way I can handle it. I can only ask for both sides to mediate. If Zhang Ye really smashed your cars for no reason, then I'll take them away right now. But that's not the case. You all have your own problems as well. The students' parents have already spoken and made their stance very clear. To be honest, it's already good enough that they did not sue you for restricting their personal freedom. If you really want to argue about it, you're not in the right either, right?"
The attitudes of the students' parents were very crucial. Although it was only the attitudes of a few students' parents, that was enough.
The Tsinghua University people were so angry that their faces turned pale, but they did not say anything.
That police officer said, "At most, we'll just get them to pay for the glass, alright?"
Zhang Ye shrugged. "I don't have any objections."
The police officer nodded and looked at Liao Qi and the others.
The Tsinghua University people were wondering how much could a few pieces of car glass cost! How could they compare to those top students? They were not even on the same level!
Soon after.
The matter was settled. Peking University had to pay for the damage to Tsinghua University's cars and repair fees, while the Tsinghua University student recruitment teachers had to apologize to the parents of the examinees who had raised their objections.
After settling the matter, the police officers drove off. Actually, when the cars left Tsinghua University, many of the police officers heaved a sigh of relief. If Zhang Ye had really been the one who smashed their cars for no reason, they might have really had to bring him back to the police station. In that case, they would have gotten themselves into a lot of trouble. They had all heard about Zhang Ye's temper before. Back then, Zhang Ye had been arrested twice, and the two police stations that had arrested him ended up in a state of chaos. Things like "My Confession", "Prisoner's Song", and countless people came forward to take the blame for Zhang Ye. It was such a mess that the two police stations nearly fell apart. Many of the police officers who had personally experienced that scene were still discussing it with lingering fear when they were having dinner together. Zhang Ye's notorious reputation was already well known by everyone, so unless it was absolutely necessary, they really did not want to bring Zhang Ye back to the police station. If they brought him back, he would become a bomb! Fortunately, it did not reach that stage this time. It was indeed the Tsinghua University people who were in the wrong this time.
The matter was settled.
The reporters dispersed, and so did the crowd of onlookers.
The people from Tsinghua University did not look too good. They gave Zhang Ye a fierce glare before turning around to leave. In this contest with Peking University, they had suffered a great loss. Not only did they not manage to invite the top scorers, their cars were also smashed and they had lost face. Many of the student recruitment teachers could not take this lying down and secretly cursed at Zhang Ye 10,000 times … no, 100 million times!!
On the campus of Tsinghua University.
Liao Qi cursed, "That damned hooligan!"
A female teacher said angrily, "Tsinghua University is not done with that Zhang guy!"
Another Tsinghua University teacher shouted, "We will settle this score with him sooner or later!"
Xin Ya walked to a place with no one around and angrily took out her cell phone to call her best friend, Wu Zeqing!
Old Wu answered, "Hello."
Xin Ya angrily denounced, "Old Wu! What kind of boyfriend do you have?! If you want to stare at me, then stare at me. If you want to smash our car, then smash our car! I'm so pissed off today! "
Old Wu laughed and said, "What happened?"
Xin Ya told her what had happened and then said, "He threw out a mathematical conjecture and just threw it aside. I've been working day and night with a group of people to help him prove his conjecture, but he didn't even give me any face. Not only did he not remember my kindness, he didn't even give me any face at all!"
Old Wu said, "I was the one who asked him to go."
Xin Ya said, "But he still can't do that. If you have something to say, just say it. Who would smash a car like that!"
Old Wu smiled and said calmly, "It's not like you've known him for the first time. Hasn't he always been like this?"
"You're still speaking up for him? Aren't you being too protective of him?! "Xin Ya stared at her.
Old Wu laughed. "Alright then, I'll apologize to you on behalf of Little Zhang, alright?"
Xin Ya said in a huff, "No!"
Old Wu said, "Then I'll treat you to a meal."
Xin Ya harrumphed, "That's not enough! I have to make him pay for it! "
Old Wu said, "Hur hur, with that temper of his, do you think that's possible? Besides, Tsinghua University was indeed in the wrong first. You have to admit that, don't you think? "
When she heard that, Xin Ya nearly vomited blood. "I've finally figured it out! You always agree with everything Zhang Ye does! The two of you are in cahoots!!! "
