The investigation proceeded swiftly, and there weren’t any superfluous questions.
"Please report your names, departments, and year, and we will inform you of our decision later," said the inspector in charge of registration.
Second Young Master Ou was quite composed as he said, "Ou Cong, not a Beijing University student, hence no department or year. But you can contact my parents. My father is Ou ZhenGuo; he works in the military."
"And her, Jiang Shuqin, although she’s a Beijing University student, you can also deal with her parents regarding this. Her dad is Jiang Xinghe; he works in the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC)."
"Oh, right, you can talk to my mom and her mom, too; they both work at the Women’s Federation."
Inspector: ...Please, just stop talking.
Ou ZhenGuo, Jiang Xinghe—they were already frightened.
"Cough, cough." The chief of inspectors stood up and said, "As for the incident, we already have a clear understanding of it."
"This student, Song Yingjie, according to members of his Hometown Association, does indeed like to brag about how popular he is with the girls."
"But in actuality, most female students state that they don’t have a favorable opinion of him."
"So, the possibility of him pestering Jiang is entirely plausible."
"Therefore, his getting beaten up, he truly had it coming."
"However, since he did get injured, this medical expense..."
Ou Cong immediately said, "Don’t worry, if he’s hurt or disabled, I’ll pay."
"Even if he becomes brain-dead and needs to be admitted to a mental hospital, I’ll see to it."
He said it as if he couldn’t wait to lock him up.
After everyone left the inspector’s office, Jiang Shuqin could no longer hold back, asking Ou Cong, "Why did your attitude towards Chuyi change so drastically all of a sudden?"
Second Young Master Ou snorted coldly and said, "Who told you my attitude towards her has changed?"
"Xia Chuyi, let me repeat, if you really did something to betray Brother Huo, I will not let it go!"
Lastly, he added, "Of course, if you haven’t, I won’t wrongly accuse you."
Having said that, Second Young Master Ou left with considerable arrogance.
Xia Chuyi was left speechless.
Suddenly, she looked at Jiang Shuqin, "You’re not angry about what he just said?"
Xia Chuyi was referring to Ou Cong calling Jiang Shuqin his girlfriend.
Jiang Shuqin shook her head and said, "I’m not angry, because I think it’s dumb to get angry over an idiot."
"Besides, the idiot’s words aren’t completely unreasonable. So what if we stir up some scandal, who can do anything to us?"
"But it’s different for you. If a scandal surrounds you, the Huo Family... might have an opinion."
She didn’t know what to say.
"To protect my reputation, must he resort to this method?" She really couldn’t understand the workings of Ou Cong’s mind.
Jiang Shuqin rolled her eyes, saying, "What can you do, when Ou Cong is all about schemes? We just had to figure out some way to deal with it!"
"Right, and Song Yingjie, we haven’t asked him yet who spread these rumors about you!"
Saying this, she went back with Xia Chuyi, just in time to intercept Song Yingjie, who was being escorted by the inspectors for medical treatment.
Seeing them, and in the absence of Ou Cong, Song Yingjie immediately put on a sanctimonious expression—if a swollen head could muster such a look.
He addressed them, "Student Xia Chuyi, from now on, please stop pestering me."
"And you, Jiang Shuqin, I don’t really know when you fell for me, causing your boyfriend to misunderstand that I was pestering you, and thus beat me up."
