Chapter 18 Chapter 18 There's no need to be angry with such people. ...

When Lu Xun arrived, there was a circle of people standing next to Xiao Minglang's desk, all concentrating on looking at the computer, and no one noticed him.

Lu Xun walked over. He was tall, so even if he stood at the outermost edge, he could see the image on the computer screen clearly.

The surveillance video has no sound, only pictures, and the pictures are a bit blurry, barely restoring the scene of the day of the incident: Gu Chen walked up the stairs, and the leader of the gangsters from No. 4 Middle School came down the stairs to block him. After a while, Qi Xiang suddenly rushed up from behind, and at the same time, Gu Chen fell down the stairs.

There was silence in the office.

Gu Chen's face was a little stiff. He knew very well that he was the first one who felt he was going to fall that day, and then Qi Xiang reached out his hand to him. However, the shooting angle of this video and the subtle time difference in the footage made it difficult to determine the order of events from an outsider's perspective.

Gu Chen couldn't help but pat Lu Xun on the shoulder: "That day..."

Lu Xun gently pressed the anxious little cotton hand on his shoulder with a hint of comfort.

Yu Fan on the side couldn't help but rubbed his eyes again. It seems like his brother Lu has a little ADHD today...

After Xiao Minglang finished watching the video for the third time, he turned to Cui Jie beside him and said in a heavy tone: "The police said before that the surveillance camera there was broken. Your video..."

"AI synthesis?"

Everyone was startled when they suddenly heard Lu Xun's voice.

Xiao Minglang: "Why didn't you report before coming in?!"

"Brother Lu--" Qi Xiang's face was full of grievance, as if he had seen some spiritual support. If there weren't so many people around, he would have rushed up to hug Lu Xun.

"My uncle is doing municipal construction there. They were replacing cameras there recently and inspected the old one. This video was exported from the repaired camera." Cui Jie said confidently, "Director, it was obviously Qi Xiang who pushed Gu Chen down the stairs! He..."

Before he could finish his words, Cui Jie suddenly felt an extremely oppressive gaze pressing down on him.

I raised my head and was unexpectedly met Lu Xun's indifferent, emotionless eyes.

Cui Jie almost instinctively took two small steps back: "Director..."

Xiao Minglang looked at him, then at Lu Xun, and whispered: "Lu Xun, don't threaten people."

"Look directly at the other person when listening to him/her." Lu Xun seemed a little confused: "Isn't this basic courtesy?"

"..."

Gao Yu patted Lu Xun's shoulder from the side, stared at him and whispered: "Say less."

Xiao Minglang moved the progress bar to the place where Qi Xiang stretched out his hand to Gu Chen: "The police have asked an eyewitness at the scene before, and he said that he saw Gu Chen fall down by himself, and Qi Xiang's hand did not touch him." "

I really didn't touch him!" Qi Xiang explained anxiously, "I saw the nerd standing on the stairs and stepped back a little. I was afraid that he would miss a step, so I reached out my hand. I didn't expect that he would miss a step and fall down before I could reach it."

Gu Chen leaned on Lu Xun's shoulder and nodded frantically. The hair brushed against the side of Lu Xun's neck, making him feel a little itchy.

Lu Xun gently pressed his head: "Don't move." His fingertips passed through his hair and touched his scalp. The force was not strong, but it carried an irresistible feel.

Gu Chen slowly stopped and felt warmth on his scalp, as if all the temperature from Lu Xun's fingertips was transmitted to his head.

Lu Xun looked at the frozen video on the screen: "Can't it be zoomed in?"

Gao Yu: "The cameras in that piece are relatively old, they can't zoom... Why are you raising your hand?"

Lu Xun slowly put down the hand that was pressing on Gu Chen's head: "I've studied too hard and my hands are sore."

"..."

"I'll contact the police later and give them the video to see if their technicians can crack it." Xiao Minglang's face was solemn, "If not, just looking at this video now..."

"Director." Cui Jie interrupted, "Think about it, Qi Xiang and the others were making trouble with the guys from No. 4 Middle School at the time. How could he have the mind to observe whether Gu Chen would step on air? It must have been intentional." Qi Xiang

clenched his fists: "You!"

"What are you doing?!" Cui Jie's head teacher Zhang Qingang had just gone outside to answer a call. When he came in and saw Qi Xiang as if he was about to punch Cui Jie, he immediately walked to Cui Jie's side, "Director, students like them are usually ignorant and fight, and it's okay, but they also push their classmates down the stairs. The nature of this is so bad..."

"Teacher Zhang." Gao Yu glanced at Zhang Qin coldly, "We can't conclude now that it was Qi Xiang who pushed him. The witnesses said at the time that Qi Xiang's hand did not touch Gu Chen."

"Everyone can see faults." Zhang Qin folded her arms across her chest, "Teacher Gao, I'm not saying that Cui Jie has always been in the top ten in the grade. As for Qi Xiang, you're a student in your own class, you know what kind of person he is, right?"

"That's enough!" Xiao Minglang interrupted Zhang Qin and pinched the Yintangxue between his eyes, "We are not experts in this area, let's wait for the police..."

"Please move aside."

"?"

Xiao Minglang looked at Lu Xun, who had stood beside him at some point, his tired and vicissitudes eyes were filled with confusion: "What for?"

Lu Xun signaled his computer with his eyes: "I have a way."

Xiao Minglang hesitated and vigilantly gave up his seat.

Lu Xun took the mouse with one hand and typed quickly on the keyboard with the other. Several prompt boxes and all-English interfaces flashed across the screen, making Xiao Minglang dizzy: "What on earth are you..."

"Director," Cui Jie whispered beside him, "He must want to delete the video..."

Before he could finish his words, the picture on the screen suddenly magnified several times. Lu Xun clicked a few more times, and the blurry picture instantly became clear.

Qi Xiang and Yu Fan: “Fuck!”

Lu Xun slid the mouse and played the scenes frame by frame of Qi Xiang reaching out to Gu Chen and Gu Chen falling down the stairs.

From beginning to end, Qi Xiang's hand never touched Gu Chen.

Qi Xiang was almost moved to tears: "Brother Lu..."

Xiao Minglang let out a long breath.

A smile slowly emerged on Gao Yu's face, which had been tense for an hour. She walked behind Lu Xun and patted him on the shoulder: "There will be a computer competition in the city next month. It's very promising. I just got a spot. You can try it. The winners can go through the independent enrollment process in the college entrance examination..."

Lu Xun: "I can only enlarge the video."

"..."

"Why don't you give the spot to Teacher Zhang's class?" Lu Xun smiled at Zhang Qin, "There is always one student in their class who is in the top ten in the grade. I think the college entrance examination is quite risky."

Zhang Qin's face turned pale: "You..."

"Director!" Cui Jie looked at Qi Xiang, who was secretly giving him the middle finger, with a gloomy face. He took off his jacket full of logos, turned his back to Xiao Minglang, and lifted up his shirt.

There was a large purple-black bruise running from top to bottom on the dark and thick back.

Xiao Minglang's heart, which had just fallen back to his belly button, jumped up to his throat again: "What happened?!"

"Just now in the cafeteria, I was beaten by Qi Xiang and others." Cui Jie's tone sounded pitiful, even a little tearful.

Qi Xiang: “Damn…”

Xiao Minglang gave him a warning look.

"It wasn't the director." Qi Xiang said, "He was scared and fell off the chair. I haven't done anything yet..."

Lu Xun patted the back of Qi Xiang's head.

Qi Xiang hugged his head and looked at Lu Xun with grievance and confusion.

"Director, listen to this!" Zhang Qin said, "This kind of student always talks about violence. What kind of place does he take school as? If you don't deal with it seriously, other students will have psychological trauma!"

"I can be scared just by opening my mouth." Lu Xun, "Why don't you go back and find a kindergarten to attend?"

Cui Jie's face turned red and white, he pulled down his shirt: "Director, you should not have forgotten what happened in the first year of high school, right?"

Lu Xun pressed the corner of his mouth.

When Cui Jie saw this, a hint of pride flashed in his eyes.

"Director." Yu Fan, who had been silent, suddenly clenched his fist, "That thing in the first year of high school..."

"Yu Fan." Lu Xun called out.

The words Yu Fan was about to say were stuck in his throat.

"What are you doing? What are you talking about?" Xiao Minglang looked left and right, feeling a little headache. "Okay, Lu Xun, you go back first. Qi Xiang, Yu Fan and Cui Jie stay."

The office and Class 1 classroom are on the same floor, but one is to the south and the other to the north, so it's a bit of a distance to walk back.

On the way, Lu Xun didn't say a word.

Gu Chen rode on his neck, leaned his head slightly, and saw that Lu Xun's mouth was tense.

He wasn't in the same class with Lu Xun in the first year of high school, but he knew that Lu Xun had led some gang members to beat up Cui Jie in the first year of high school. At that time, there was not a single piece of intact skin on Cui Jie's body, and his hands and feet were almost shattered.

At that time, a friend in the student union secretly told him that if Lu Xun's father had not been a school director and the Lu family had not donated money to the school construction, given the severity of the incident at the time, Lu Xun would probably have been expelled long ago. But because of the Lu family's mediation, the school's external announcement was only to minimize the incident. Lu Xun was punished by being broadcasted throughout the school three times for self-criticism, and then he was given a serious punishment.

Gu Chen didn’t know what exactly was going on, but after spending some time with Lu Xun, he felt that Lu Xun was not as vicious as the rumors said, and sometimes he was even quite caring.

Gu Chen hugged Lu Xun's neck unconsciously: "Will Qi Xiang be okay?"

"No." Lu Xun's voice sounded indifferent, "Kang Le is not going to have Alzheimer's disease at this age."

There was no sound behind him. After a moment, Lu Xun felt a soft and delicate fur brushing against his cheek.

He turned his head and was caught off guard by a pair of blue eyes.

Gu Chen leaned his head to look at him.

Lu Xun: "...What's wrong?"

"Cui Jie is not a good person." Gu Chen said with a stern face, "You don't have to be angry with such a person."

Lu Xun was stunned for a moment and chuckled, "Can a top student say bad things about others?"

"I'm just telling the truth."

Lu Xun took the baby sitting on his neck into his arms.

A gust of wind blew into the corridor through the window, blowing up Lu Xun's long bangs.

Gu Chen smiled when he saw the other person, and his handsome face was particularly eye-catching under the light.

"Okay." The boy rubbed the soft blue head in his arms. His voice blended into the wind, like the most beautiful cello sound. "I'll listen to you. I'm not angry."
