"I'm telling you, you're dreaming. Our Gu Yiming is a genius. We're going to be the top scorer in the city exam and be on TV."
"Don't bother my son anymore. He doesn't need friends like you!"
After that, she was about to close the door.
Qin Guan took a step forward and blocked the door with his foot: "What about Gu Yiming? Even if he breaks off relations with us, ask him to come and talk to us in person."
Mother Gu snorted coldly and wanted to curse again, but Lin Jiaqiao took advantage of her inattention, pushed her away and slipped into the house.
She shouted loudly: "Gu Yiming, are you there?"
No one responded to her.
Gu Yiming's mother came back to her senses at this time, stretched out her hand to grab her hair, and tried to drive her out. Lin Jiaqiao dodged and twisted her arm, "Which school did you send Gu Yiming to?"
This was the first time that Mother Gu was treated like this. She didn't even hear Lin Jiaqiao's question and said, "You whore, you slut, you dare to fight me, you will die a miserable death—"
Lin Jiaqiao increased his strength and said, "If you don't answer me, I don't mind taking your jaw off."
Mother Gu had never experienced such pain since she was a child, and she screamed immediately.
Her voice was so shrill, like nails scratching on a blackboard, which made people shudder.
The neighbor was attracted by her and looked into the house cautiously. Seeing that it was two children, he immediately became bold and said, "What are you doing? You dare to break into the house and rob in broad daylight? I'm calling the police!"
Qin Guan was about to explain, but Lin Jiaqiao pretended to be innocent:
"Uncle, you misunderstood. We are Gu Yiming's friends. He has been missing for a long time. We are worried about him, so we came to see him."
"But I don't know what triggered Auntie. As soon as we mentioned Gu Yiming, she started screaming."
"Do we need to call 120?"
Lin Jiaqiao still maintained the posture of catching her, and his hand was still on Gu Mama's chin. Qin Guan lied with his eyes open, "We were afraid that she would bite her tongue when she had an attack, so-"
The neighbors didn't believe it at first, but then they saw that the two men looked very well behaved and were dressed like students, so they didn't look like scammers, so the neighbors became half-believing and half-doubting.
He said: "Maybe she is missing her son."
"Ever since Gu Yiming's sister died, she has paid extra attention to Gu Yiming."
"That's right. She only has this person to rely on. It's normal for her to look at him more carefully."
The neighbor was moved as he spoke. He sniffed, and the big mole jumped up and down.
Lin Jiaqiao doesn't have time to care about that suspicious mole now.
She took advantage of the neighbor's inattention and chopped Mother Gu on the back of the neck with a knife, and Mother Gu immediately fainted.
Lin Jiaqiao asked his neighbor: "Do you know where Gu Yiming went?"
The neighbor narrowed his eyes, "Are you Gu Yiming's girlfriend?"
Saving people is the most important thing now, Lin Jiaqiao can't care less and admits generously: "It's me."
The neighbor started to criticize Qiao, "How old are you? You are talking about love and affection. Aren't you ashamed to say it out loud?"
Lin Jiaqiao knew these old men very well. They earned less than five thousand dollars a month and wished that the White House was under his command.
She knew how to deal with this kind of person.
Lin Jiaqiao softened her voice and said coquettishly, "Uncle, if you know, please tell me."
"I just want to take a look at Gu Yiming. I definitely won't cause any trouble for you."
She praised her a few more times, and the neighbor was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling, and the big mole on his face started jumping again.
He finally relented, "Okay, since you are so sensible, I will tell you."
"Gu Yiming was sent to school by his mother."
He pointed at Gu Yiming's mother on the ground, half seriously and half threateningly, "Gu Yiming has been very disobedient since he started dating you, and his mother wants to teach him a lesson."
Lin Jiaqiao asked: "Do you know what the school is called?"
"How should I know?"
The neighbor started to act arrogantly again. After Lin Jiaqiao’s questioning, he said, “It seems like there are three characters. The first and second characters are unclear. There seems to be a ‘高’ in the middle.”
"It should be a place like a cram school."
The neighbor asked, "Why, do you still want to go find him?"
After asking for the information he wanted, Lin Jiaqiao was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore and pulled Qin Guan away.
The neighbor was embarrassed and muttered, "How uneducated. Yiming's mother, don't you think so?"
Gu Yiming's mother did not answer him. He then realized that she had fainted.
But he did not call the police or an ambulance.
He walked around the living room, took out the wallet from Gu's mother's purse, and put the money inside into his pocket.
Before leaving, he thought about it, pulled down Mother Gu's collar, and took a picture of the deep cleavage on her chest with his mobile phone.
As soon as Lin Jiaqiao got home, he searched for a school called 'x高x' on his computer.
But the clues she provided were too vague, and all that turned out was useless information.
Lin Jiaqiao was a little angry and asked Qin Guan: "Did you find any useful information?"
Qin Guan was also very anxious. "No. I'll call my dad and ask him to help find out."
Qin Guan's cell phone rang at this time, and Comrade Daqin told him that the school was called "Yinggaote" and was a behavior correction school.
Because a student committed suicide, the Ministry of Education ordered rectification and it is now called Yuzhang College.
Gu Yiming passed by the principal's office and heard the principal say:
“… Our school provides psychological counseling, behavioral correction, quality training, and cultural tutoring for young people who are rebellious, disobedient, fall in love early, are tired of school, stay out all night, smoke and drink, are selfish and indifferent, have low self-esteem, and run away from home. We recruit problem teenagers aged 8-18 from all over the country.”
"We adopt special training education modes such as psychological counseling, cultural learning, military training, and social practice. Through a fully closed military management model, we help your children learn to love and be grateful, correct bad words and deeds and living habits, and become perfect teenagers..."
The principal had dark skin, wore black-framed glasses, had an oily face and greasy hair. At this moment, he smiled in a flattering manner and looked like a very old Shar-Pei dog.
Gu Yiming recalled the day when he first arrived. He kicked a girl in the stomach in front of everyone on the stands of the playground and kicked her off the stands.
A man came towards them. Gu Yiming smiled obediently and called out, "Hello, Instructor Li."
His clothes were imitation police uniforms. Gu Yiming had seen Lin Dapeng wearing this outfit before, and he looked very righteous, but the man in front of him wore this outfit in a vulgar tone.
Instructor Li nodded modestly, "Minister Gu, where are you going?"
The power structure of this school is as follows: under the principal are the teachers and instructors, then the student union ministers and student union secretaries, and at the bottom are the students.
The positions of officers and ministers of the Student Union can only be held by outstanding students. After graduation, they can continue to stay here as instructors. Half of the instructors in this school come from this way.
Gu Yiming has only been here for a dozen days, but he has already become the head of the Student Union.
He still had that very well-behaved and polite smile, "Go to the venting room to pick up the students."
Instructor Li was only about three to five years older than him, but he had the demeanor of a seasoned veteran. He asked Gu Yiming, "Have you considered whether you want to stay after graduation?"
Instructor Li was qualified to watch TV. He had seen Gu Yiming's photo on the news and knew that he was the runner-up in the city.
He said, "I know you are a top student and don't like the job here. Let me be honest with you, we earn five-figure salaries a month."
"You are a celebrity and can be the face of the school in the future. If you talk to the principal, he will definitely offer you a higher salary."
"Think about it, even if you finish college, where can you find such a good job?"
Gu Yiming pretended to be distressed and said, "My mother has signed me up for a one-year course. I'll think about it."
"I think life here is very meaningful and I want to help more people, but I also long for college life."
Instructor Li did not go to college. When he was in ninth grade, because he was irritable and easily angered, his father sent him here to study for two years, and he has stayed there ever since.
He said disdainfully: "What's so good about college? My junior high school classmate went to college, but now he still can't find a job."
Gu Yiming did not argue with him, but just said: "That student has been in the venting room for two days. I took her out."
The venting room is a small dark room where the school punishes "bad students".
'Bad students' refer to children who have been here for a long time but are still emotionally unstable and make a lot of noise.
You can only stand in the venting room, you are not allowed to take a shower or sleep, and even you have to ask the instructor for permission to defecate.
Instructor Li disagreed, "That Sun Fangfang, right? She was in the last batch you came in."
"She's really tactless. This has happened so many times. Hey, didn't she frame you last time?"
"If you ask me, a bad person like her who refuses to change after repeated admonitions should be locked up for ten days or half a month to see if she still behaves."
On the wall opposite the door to the venting room, there were five lines of bright red characters:
1. Obey the orders of superiors;
Second, male-female interaction is prohibited;
3. Do not contradict superiors and teachers;
4. Escape is prohibited;
5. Violators will be punished.
Gu Yiming's eyes were hurt by the bright colors.
This is the school rule of their school.
Sun Fangfang is a girl, and according to the above regulations, Gu Yiming should avoid suspicion. But Gu Yiming is now the president of the student union, he is not the "male or female" in the regulations, he is the "superior".
And Sun Fangfang was the "sacrifice" for him to become his superior.
The door was locked, so Gu Yiming opened it with his key. He said in a deep voice, "Sun Fangfang, come out."
There was no response from inside.
Gu Yiming did not doubt that Sun Fangfang was plotting against him. He had also been there before, and he knew very well that the people there were numb at that time.
The curtains of the venting room were hung outside. They were very thick and not a single light could penetrate.
Gu Yiming opened the curtains, and the two-foot square room was finally exposed to the sunlight.
This was originally a classroom, but was later cut into countless pieces by stone and cement. Every time Gu Yiming saw this room, he couldn't help but think that humans were really good at torturing their own kind.
Sun Fangfang was banging her head against the wall, and the wall in front of her was covered with dried blood.
