Chapter 408: Chapter 408 Being Used as a Pawn Chapter 408: Chapter 408 Being Used as a Pawn The two were from different departments and years, though both in the Student Union, they were not working in the same division and hardly had anything to do with each other. How much dislike does one need to harbor, to deploy such methods against a girl?
With the situation reaching this point, there was no need for Xiao Lin to keep hiding the truth. He simply looked up and said, “Of course, it’s because she’s two-faced and malicious behind people’s backs, bullying members of the same club.”
Hearing him mention members of the same club, Sheng Chuyi’s eyes turned cold as he stared at the other and asked, “Did you witness these actions with your own eyes?”
Xiao Lin pursed his lips and did not speak.
“Could there be some misunderstanding in all this? I’ve met that girl, and she doesn’t seem like the person you describe?”
Although Qu Xing had only interacted with that girl twice and couldn’t claim to understand her well, he thought that someone liked by a person such as Sheng Chuyi couldn’t be as bad as the other claimed.
Xiao Lin adamantly refused to back down, “You don’t need to ask anymore, I did it, it has nothing to do with anyone else. It’s just that I couldn’t stand her, so I thought to teach her a small lesson.”
“Fine, since you’ve admitted it, we won’t accuse you of being unjustly treated. Let’s leave this matter to the school authorities,” Qu Xing spoke indifferently.
He had also realized that this kid was probably being used as a pawn by someone else.
Xiao Lin’s face involuntarily stiffened, “It’s just a prank…”
Qu Xing shook his head, unsure if he should call the other foolish or naive, “If we talk small, it’s an internal conflict within Student Union members. But if we talk big, you’ve entered the school’s internal system without permission and cyberbullied a student. If pursued seriously, a demerit is the least of your concerns, and expulsion isn’t out of the question.” To think that a grown man would stoop to such levels, it’s truly embarrassing for all men.
Xiao Lin’s face turned paler and paler.
Qu Xing glanced at him and continued, “Think before you act next time, you’re a Jing University student after all. Don’t get so easily swayed by others and lose your head just because someone stirs you up. Did you work so hard to get into Jing University just to bully a girl and vent someone else’s anger?”
“Can we not report this to the school?” Xiao Lin struggled before speaking up.
Jing University has strict management; having a demerit could affect the issuance of the degree certificate, and in severe cases, one could even be expelled.
To be honest, he was feeling some regret for acting impulsively now.
He thought he had been seamless, but somehow, evidence had been found against him.
“It’s not up to me to decide,” Qu Xing looked in Sheng Chuyi’s direction, knowing it would require his non-pursuit to proceed.
However, judging by the other party’s attitude, who was clearly intending to seek justice for his girlfriend, forgiveness seemed unlikely.
Qu Xing tapped his finger on the table, then added, “Moreover, I can’t control how the school decides to handle this, but you can no longer stay in the Student Union. Submit your resignation.”
Xiao Lin truly regretted it now.
Not for targeting Shen Zhaozhao, but for acting rashly and without full precautions.
The competition within the Student Union was fierce. It had not been easy for him to become a director, as there were several other contenders from his cohort. He had had plans to run in the upcoming presidential elections, but now, it was all gone.
Whether he could even keep his degree was still uncertain.
Qu Xing had nothing more to say to him; he had no regard for men who bullied women, and besides, this wasn’t his call to make.
A man should take responsibility for his actions.
