Chapter 19 You Two Are a Pair of Lovers

At that moment, Qin Chao happened to be supporting Liu Chuan as they walked over. Hua Niang's eyes lit up and she immediately walked towards them.

"Excuse me, have you seen a girl in a white dress pass by? Her name is Bai Jiaojiao?" she asked.

Qin Chao looked up and saw Hua Niang's appearance, and was taken aback for a moment. Oh my god, is that Kong Kong? But then he looked carefully and realized that although they looked similar, their faces still had some differences.

"Sorry, I didn't notice," Qin Chao said, too preoccupied with Liu Chuan's situation to pay attention to Bai Jiaojiao. He shook his head and glanced at Hua Niang before taking Liu Chuan away.

"If you see Bai Jiaojiao, be careful!" Hua Niang felt anxious as she watched Qin Chao leave, but she couldn't directly tell him that both she and Bai Jiaojiao were snake demons.

Qin Chao furrowed his brow and glanced at Hua Niang again. The fact that she called him "young master" had already puzzled him, and now she was reminding him to be careful. However, he had encountered too many strange things recently and didn't have time to think them all through.

So, supporting Liu Chuan, he headed towards the security office.

Shortly after, Su Fei, the beautiful woman, greeted them. She looked at Qin Chao supporting Liu Chuan with a complicated expression.

"Qin Chao, I have informed the parents of Yu Qian. From now on, you are the head of security. When the parents arrive, you must maintain order," Su Fei said.

"Me? Head of security?" Qin Chao pointed to himself, somewhat astonished.

"If you don't want to do it, I can find someone else," Su Fei frowned and wondered whether promoting this unfamiliar boy to head of security was a good idea or not.

"I'll do it, of course," Qin Chao couldn't pass up such a good opportunity, especially when he thought about the expression on Wang Wenkun's face later. He felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

"Alright, come to my office later, and let Qin Ling take you to handle the procedures," Su Fei said before turning around and leaving. Qin Chao stared at her beautiful back and couldn't help but zone out. Did Su Fei lose her mind by making him the head of security?

"Why? Why did you demote me?" At the entrance to the security office, Wang Wenkun abandoned his usual sycophantic behavior and questioned Qin Ling in a stern voice.

Qin Ling looked at him coldly, arms folded, and replied, "Those were President Su's exact words. If you have any complaints, you can go talk to her. And, with the way you acted in front of the students this time, do you still think you can go back to being the director? Don't even dream about it. You should consider yourself lucky that you can still be a security guard, which is already President Su's mercy."

"I don't believe it! I don't believe it!" Wang Wenkun roared in anger. "You must have been plotting against me, you vile woman! I'm going to see President Su now, and I'll straighten things out with her!"

"You, you!" Qin Ling felt wronged by his insults. As the female secretary, she was used to being in a high position and had never been scolded before. When she heard Wang Wenkun's words, her eyes turned red and her body trembled with anger.

"Hmph!" Wang Wenkun looked at Qin Ling's appearance and let out a cold laugh before he twisted his bulky body and swaggered towards the administrative building. As he turned his head, he happened to see Qin Chao approaching him.

"Qin Ling, what's wrong?" Qin Chao walked around the corner and didn't see the two of them arguing. He only saw Qin Ling with red eyes, so he asked.

"He... he cursed at people!" Qin Ling pointed at Wang Wenkun, and her tears flowed from her eyes.

"Wang Wenkun." Qin Chao turned his head and looked coldly at Wang Wenkun. "Do you think you're still the security director, and you can act recklessly? Get out of here. You have insulted school employees and your bonus for this month will be deducted."

"You! You! You!" Wang Wenkun repeated the word "you" three times, his body heaving and shaking non-stop. "Well, well, the two of you collude to plot against me, don't you? Wait and see, I'll go to President Su and report you both! You'll both pack up and leave!"

After speaking, he shook his butt and rolled towards the administrative building like a ball.

"This guy is too much." Qin Chao frowned. "President Su should have dealt with him a long time ago."

"You're so happy, just started work for two days and got promoted to director," Qin Ling rolled her eyes at Qin Chao, took out a clean tissue, and wiped away the tears in the corners of her eyes. Luckily, Qin Ling was used to wearing light makeup, otherwise she would have cried herself into a big clown face.

"I'm fine, I'm taking the blame for you. And I've been called all sorts of nasty names, like a lecherous scoundrel or whore, it's so ugly! Who on earth would call you that?"

"Hehe, Qin Ling, you're so beautiful, how could you possibly be a ghost?" Qin Chao joked, but he suddenly saw Liu Chuan's pale face, his smile immediately faded, and he sighed.

"If I could turn back time and undo everything that just happened, I wouldn't even want to be director."

After speaking, he helped Liu Chuan and walked into the security room. Qin Ling stared blankly at Qin Chao's back and suddenly felt a bit dazed. This guy was strange. Others would be fighting tooth and nail for this position, but he seemed indifferent. Could it be that he had the character of a saint?

In fact, Qin Ling was overestimating Qin Chao. If this had happened under normal circumstances, Qin Chao would have been ecstatic to find out he was promoted to director and would have celebrated by watching a couple of AV movies. But now, this director's position was obtained at the cost of Yu Qian's blood and life, and it made him feel deeply burdened.

Especially when he saw Liu Chuan's despairing face, he couldn't be happy no matter what.

In the security office, there was no one around as they were all with the police maintaining order within the school. Qin Chao poured Liu Chuan a cup of hot water but didn't know how to console the child.

Just as Qin Chao was feeling overwhelmed, there was suddenly a commotion outside.

"What are you doing? Let us in!"

"Is this a school or a prison? Why won't you let us in?"

"We want to go in!"

Qin Chao quickly rushed out of the security office and saw a crowd of farmers pushing against the security guards at the school gate, shouting and trying to get inside.

"What's going on?"

"Qin ge!" one of the young security guards turned around and saw Qin Chao, immediately calling out, "These people claim to be relatives of Yu Qian and want to come in."

"Big brother, it's me. Do you still recognize me?" one of the middle-aged farmers in a blue cotton coat called out loudly, "I'm Liu Chuan's father!"

"Let them in!" Qin Chao waved his hand. Now that he was the head of security, he had the authority to command the guards.

Upon hearing this, the security guards were at a loss and no longer obstructed the more than ten farmers who rushed in, some of whom even had anger on their faces. However, Liu Chuan's father began to appease them, "Everyone, don't be hasty, don't be hasty. This is Gou Sheng's friend. Let me ask him how Qianqian died!"

In the minds of these farmers, Liu Chuan's father seemed to be a man of great influence. Upon hearing his words, the others quieted down, but all of them looked at Qin Chao with indignation.

"Hello, I am the director of security at the school, my name is Qin Chao." Qin Chao had just spoken when a farmer in his sixties suddenly rushed out of the crowd, throwing a punch that landed on Qin Chao's chin.

"Ah!" At that moment, Su Fei, who was trying to avoid Wang Wenkun, happened to walk by and saw Qin Chao being beaten. She immediately exclaimed and rushed over, shouting at the farmer, "Why are you hitting people!"

"What's wrong with hitting him!" The old man was old and his eyes were red, his voice heavy with breath. "I sent my daughter to your school, but now you tell me she's dead. Director of security, damn you, how do you do your job!"

As the old man spoke, he suddenly shed two lines of murky tears.

"That's right, that's right! How do you do your job as the director of security! How does this school operate!" A group of farmers shouted again. The security guards were a little afraid, but they still surrounded these people, fearing that they might do something extreme.

"You did the right thing," Qin Chao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and marveled at the fact that he was still so strong even in his sixties, having fought against American soldiers.

"This is the responsibility of our school, but I believe that there must be a reason for Yu Qian's death. The police will investigate it thoroughly, so please remain calm," he continued.

"This comrade's words are not entirely correct," Liu Chuan's father suddenly sneered. "The school leaders told us in a previous phone call that the police had determined that Qianqian committed suicide, and that several hundred students in the school witnessed it. We came here to demand an explanation. Why would a good girl like her come to your school and then commit suicide?"

"Yeah, give us an explanation, give us an explanation!" The group of people began shouting again, attracting the attention of many students.

Qin Chao stood there, stunned. Yu Qian had committed suicide...that was correct. But from her attitude before her death, this matter was definitely related to Fang Hua. Fang Hua, that animal...

"Dad, don't blame Qin ge!" At this moment, Liu Chuan suddenly ran out of the security room and shouted, "Qin ge is a good person..."

"Fuck, you little brat!" Liu Chuan's father saw the chubby kid and immediately turned red, rushing up to kick him and sending Liu Chuan straight to the ground.

"I told you, didn't I? Wasn't I supposed to take good care of Qianqian? If I don't beat you to death, you can go and make it up to her!"

After speaking, Liu Chuan's father snatched a shovel from a nearby farmer and swung it at Liu Chuan's leg.

"Bang!" A loud noise rang out in the air, and everyone froze. Liu Chuan was shocked and lay on the ground, his eyes vacant. Meanwhile, the towering figure of Qin Chao stood in front of him, taking the blow with his fist. The shovel head flew off the handle and whizzed away.

Qin Chao's fist was bleeding, but he paid it no heed. In a low voice, he said to Liu Chuan's dumbstruck father, "Please calm down. This is not Liu Chuan's fault. Several days ago, Yu Qian broke up with him, and during this time, she has been with a student named Fang Hua. I think the police have not finished investigating yet, and perhaps this matter is related to Fang Hua."

"I'm really sorry, brother." Liu Chuan's father was a bit overwhelmed by Qin Chao's demeanor and put down the shovel, which was now just a stick.

"That person that just hit you is Yu Qian's father, Yu Xinghua. He is over sixty years old. His wife has been in poor health, and when she heard the news of Yu Qian's suicide, she suffered a cerebral thrombosis and was just taken to the hospital by us."
