The entire courtyard is full of villains

Good heavens! He never imagined in his life that his name would be associated with such words.

He stumbled over and reached out to tear down the banner.

Hey! What are you doing?!

San Dezi, who was loudly denouncing Yan Bugui's crimes to the onlookers, noticed an old man wearing glasses rushing up to tear down the banner and immediately shouted to stop him.

"I'd like to ask you what you're doing!" Yan Bugui exclaimed, his face flushed with anger. "What right do you have to slander me?!"

"Slandering you? You...you are Yan Bugui?"

"That's right! You don't even know me, so what right do you have to ruin my reputation?!"

To everyone's surprise, San Dezi not only didn't panic, but instead showed delight and turned around to shout, "Big Dog! The main character has arrived!"

Hearing the commotion, Big Dog, who was arguing with Principal Chen, immediately looked over—he was wearing glasses, a camel-colored overcoat, and was thin and small. He strode over and shoved his finger hard into Yan Bugui's forehead.

"So your name is Yan Bugui?"

Yan Bugui was so struck that he staggered.

"You...you're not even human?!" Big Dog's voice suddenly rose, filled with uncontrollable rage. "My sister is only 14 years old, and you've ruined her! Now she's been jilted by her fiancé's family. Tell me, how are we going to handle this?!"

"Who did I hurt?! I don't even know them—"

"Still being stubborn even when you're about to die, huh? Girl, come here!"

Liu Qian stood up from the side and slowly walked over. She glanced timidly at Yan Bugui first, then quickly hid behind Big Dog Brother, her voice trembling: "Big Dog Brother... I'm scared."

"Don't be afraid, little sister. I'm here today. If this old bastard dares to lay a finger on you, I'll chop him to pieces!"

Yan Bugui stared at Liu Qian, looking her up and down: "Who are you?"

"Good grief, now you're pretending not to know me? Why didn't you say you didn't know me when you were ruining my sister?!" Before Big Dog could finish speaking, he raised his hand and delivered a heavy punch.

"boom!"

Yan Bugui was knocked backward and fell to the ground, his glasses shattering instantly and falling to the ground.

"My glasses...my glasses!"

While he was frantically groping around, Big Dog stepped forward and stomped the broken glasses to pieces.

"Yan Bugui, you bastard! My sister almost hanged herself, and all you care about is your glasses?!"

"Principal Cheng! Quick, quick, help me report this to the police! I didn't do it, they're slandering me!" Yan Bugui's mind cleared up a bit after being beaten—this matter had to be decided by the police.

Principal Cheng gave him a complicated look: "I've already reported it to the police."

Just as things were getting out of hand, Zhang Guozei arrived hastily with several police officers. They had originally received a report from Old Sun that someone was causing trouble at the school gate, but they hadn't expected—

Well, it's Yan Bugui again.

When Principal Cheng saw Zhang Guowei leading his team, he quickly stepped forward to shake hands: "Director Zhang, you've finally arrived."

"Principal Cheng, what's going on?"

Before Principal Cheng could speak, Yan Bugui struggled to his feet and shouted, "Chief Zhang! I want to report this! These people are slandering me!"

"What did they say about you?"

Yan Bugui pointed at the glaring banner, his hands trembling: "Look at what it says—'Yan Bugui, the Demon of Lust'! When have I ever done such a heinous thing?!"

"Hey! I've got a short temper!" Big Dog took a step forward and grabbed Yan Bugui by the collar. "You fucking say again that you didn't do it?!"

"I never did it!"

"I'll smash your teeth today!" Big Dog Brother swung his fist, ready to smash it down.

"Stop!" Zhang Guowei, who was standing nearby, reacted quickly, grabbing his arm and kicking him away. "If you have something to say, say it. Who gave you permission to hit someone? You've got some nerve, daring to hit someone in front of the police!!"

Big Dog was kicked and staggered, but he still stubbornly shouted, "Police officer! It's not that I wanted to fight, it's that this bastard Yan Bugui did something truly inhuman!"

"What did he do?"

Big Dog immediately put on a look of grief and indignation: "What he did... I'm ashamed to even say it!"

Zhang Guowei said in a deep voice, "Speak."

"Fine, since he's not ashamed of himself, I won't cover for him!" Big Dog spat. "Officer, my sister's name is Liu Qian. She was in sixth grade at this elementary school in 55, and her homeroom teacher was Yan Bugui. But this beast... he has no manners whatsoever as a teacher! He took advantage of the fact that my sister's family didn't have a man to back her up, so... he secretly raped my sister!"

His voice suddenly rose, and his eyes reddened at the opportune moment: "My sister was only 14 at the time! She only had her mother at home, and she was timid, so she never dared to tell anyone. Until a few days ago, when she got married, on her wedding night... they found out she didn't bleed, and they pressed her for details. That's when my sister finally told them the truth."

That very night, her husband's family sent her back to her parents' home! My poor sister… my mother almost cried herself blind! She had no other choice but to come to me for help. Officer, please be the judge, isn't Yan Bugui a beast? Shouldn't he be executed?!

As soon as he finished speaking, the surroundings fell into dead silence, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Yan Bugui, whose face was deathly pale.

Yan Bugui's face was deathly pale, and he was trembling violently. He kept repeating, "No... I didn't... They're slandering me! I really didn't do it!" After saying that, he suddenly lunged at Principal Cheng and Zhang Guowei, "Principal Cheng! Director Zhang! You have to believe me!"

Zhang Guowei didn't answer him, but instead stared at Big Dog, his eyes half-closed: "What's your name?"

"Reporting to the police, my full name is Liu Pan, and my friends call me Big Dog."

"Okay. I'll ask you, what's your relationship with Liu Qian?"

"Liu Qian is my best friend's sister."

What's your best friend's name?

"Liu Shuzeng,"

Zhang Guowei walked up to Liu Pan and lowered his voice: "Liu Pan, do you know what kind of thing you did today?"

“I know! But Liu Shu was my brother who risked his life for me. He’s gone, but his sister is my own sister! I can’t just stand by and watch them be bullied without saying a word!”

Zhang Guowei stared at him silently for a few seconds, then turned his head and said, "Principal Cheng, could you please check the school's archives? Wasn't there a female student named Liu Qian who was in sixth grade here in 55?"

Principal Cheng nodded, turned around, and strode quickly into the office building.

Zhang Guowei then walked up to Yan Bugui and said in a solemn tone, "Yan Bugui, you had better confess honestly. If it is found that you have really done something wrong, you will face severe legal punishment."

Yan Bugui's voice cracked with anxiety: "Chief Zhang! I swear on my life! I absolutely didn't do it! They conspired to frame me!"

At this moment, Liu Qian, who had been hiding behind the crowd, suddenly rushed forward and knelt down with a thud, tears welling up in her eyes: "Police officer... if he... if he didn't do it... how can I, a young woman, use my innocence to slander him! How am I supposed to live like this after this!"

Chapter 131 You'd better think this through.

Zhang Guowei quickly stepped forward and helped Liu Qian up from the ground: "Girl, don't worry. As long as it is confirmed that Yan Bugui really did this, our police will never let him off the hook. Get up first."

After being helped up, Liu Qian was still sobbing, her body trembling slightly. The surrounding crowd pointed and whispered about Yan Bugui, and several hot-tempered people had already started cursing.

At this moment, Principal Cheng came running out of the building, holding a file record in his hand: "Director Zhang, I've checked. Liu Qian did indeed study at our school and graduated from elementary school. However, due to family difficulties, she did not attend junior high school."

Zhang Guowei asked in a low voice, "Are there any teachers at the school who taught Liu Qian back then?"

Principal Cheng thought for a moment and said, "There should be." He turned and went back into the building, and soon came out with an older female teacher. This was Teacher Fan, who had taught Liu Qian Chinese before, and she still looked a little bewildered.

Zhang Guowei walked over and said, "Teacher Fan, could you please go and see if that girl over there is your former student Liu Qian? Could you talk to her for a bit to confirm?"

Teacher Fan had no choice but to step forward. As soon as she reached her, Liu Qian looked up and timidly called out, "Are you...Teacher Fan?"

"Oh, right. You are...?"

"I'm Liu Qian, teacher."

Teacher Fan blinked and looked her over carefully: "Liu Qian? You've grown so much... I remember you were only in your early sixteens back then, right?"

“Teacher, I’m eighteen this year. I was the oldest in the class back then. My family was poor, so I never went to school… Later, after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the neighborhood officials came to promote the policy, saying that girls could go to school for free, so I was able to go to school.”

"Oh—right, right, I remember now. Liu Qian, is your mother... still washing clothes for people?"

"It can't be washed anymore... She hurt her eyes from crying the other day."

After exchanging a few more words, Teacher Fan walked back to Zhang Guowei's side and nodded: "Director Zhang, it's confirmed, she is Liu Qian."

“Okay. Principal Cheng, could you please find an office so we can talk inside? There are too many people outside; it would be bad if a stampede happened.”

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Principal Cheng hurriedly went inside to vacate the room.

Meanwhile, Zhang Guowei also instructed his colleagues to disperse the onlookers, and then led Big Dog Brother, Liu Qian, and Yan Bugui into the school's conference room.

After they sat down, Zhang Guowei looked at Liu Qian and said, "Liu Qian, I have a question for you: Since you said the incident happened several years ago, why didn't you report it to the police or contact them at the time?"

Upon hearing this, Big Dog immediately stepped forward and raised his voice: "Chief Zhang, I'm not happy with your question! What kind of trial is this? You don't start by interrogating the criminal, but instead you start interrogating the victim? If you're going to ask this, then we might as well go out and continue blocking the gate!"

Zhang Guowei remained silent, his fingertips lightly tapping the table. Just then, a young policeman entered and handed him a file. Zhang Guowei quickly scanned it, then looked up at Big Dog, his tone slightly amusement: "Who do we have here? It's Big Dog from the West District. My apologies. What's up? The food inside smelled delicious. You've only been out a short while, and you want to go in for a bit?"

"Director Zhang, you're wrong about that!" Big Dog blushed and hurriedly defended himself, "I received education under the government's care and have long since turned over a new leaf! You can't judge me based on my past mistakes!"

“It’s not that I’m biased,” Zhang Guowei said, closing the file with a sharp look in his eyes. “It’s just that it’s a coincidence—you’ve only been out for a few months, and now your ‘close friend’s’ sister has gotten into trouble? And from what I’ve seen, you and Liu Shuzeng didn’t have any close contact before.”

"That was an old friendship! We just drifted apart later because we lived far apart!" Big Dog said urgently. "If you doubt that I'm making this up, that would be really disheartening! If I had come out a few years earlier, would my sister have had to suffer like this?"

Zhang Guowei didn't dwell on the topic and turned to Yan Bugui in the corner: "Yan Bugui, in 1955, weren't you Liu Qian's homeroom teacher?"

Yan Bugui finally remembered, his brows furrowing: "I did teach sixth grade in 55. Liu Qian was the oldest in the class and her grades were average, but I absolutely had no relationship with her!" He shook his head vigorously, "I just occasionally tutored her, purely out of a teacher's duty!"

"Tutor her?" Big Dog immediately gave him a meaningful look.

Liu Qian burst into tears instantly, her sobs heart-wrenching: "Teacher Yan, that's not what you said back then!" She choked back sobs, recalling intermittently, "You said you knew my family was poor, my brother was gone, and my family couldn't afford tutoring, so you said you'd keep me at school every night and tutor me for free. But after only two days, on the third night, when no one was at school, you pulled me into the equipment room..."

At this point, she could no longer hold back, covered her face with her hands, squatted on the ground, and cried uncontrollably.

“After that, I was so scared that I couldn’t sleep at night,” Liu Qian’s voice came through her fingers, sounding heartbreaking. “You lied to me and said nothing was wrong, but whenever I tried to tell other teachers or my mom, you threatened me! You said that our family had lost its breadwinner, and that you had three sons, and that any one of them could wipe out our entire family!”

"You even know that my mother made a living by washing clothes for others?" She suddenly raised her head, her eyes red as she glared at Yan Bugui. "Back then, you had just become the third-ranking official in your compound and had connections in the neighborhood office. You said that if I dared to tell anyone about this, you would make my mother lose her job washing clothes and let us starve to death!"

“Teacher Yan,” Liu Qian’s voice was hoarse like sandpaper, “Now you think you can erase everything with just a ‘I didn’t do it’? What about all the suffering I’ve endured over the years? What about the humiliation of being returned by my husband’s family? What about my mother’s blinded eyes from crying?”

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly stood up and lunged at the wall next to her!

Big Dog and Zhang Guowei reacted quickly, grabbing her from either side. Big Dog, holding her arm, scolded with red eyes, "Silly girl! You can't do this! This beast hasn't been brought to justice yet; you have to live to see him get his comeuppance!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Yan Bugui jumped up from his chair, pointing at Liu Qian, trembling with rage. "Liu Qian! I don't know whose dirty money you took to frame me, but let me tell you—I didn't do it, I didn't do it! You're spouting lies here, and God is watching!"

Zhang Guowei's brows furrowed even more deeply. More than four years had passed, and both sides held their own versions of events, making the situation truly difficult. Arresting Yan Bugui was out of the question due to a lack of concrete evidence; not arresting him, however, would arouse public outrage that was difficult to quell.

Unexpectedly, Yan Bugui felt a sense of crisis and his mind raced. He realized that the key to breaking the deadlock today lay with Liu Qian. He figured that a young girl like her couldn't withstand the pressure, so Yan Bugui deliberately made some harsh remarks, "Liu Qian, I understand now... You're deliberately trying to slander me, right? Let me tell you, you're really blind! Nowadays, the police rely on evidence! Making baseless accusations like this will only land you in jail sooner or later!"

He glanced at Zhang Guowei, then suddenly raised his voice: "Let me warn you, Chief Zhang and I know each other very well! If you don't confess now, once Chief Zhang finds out—you'll be in big trouble! At that time, not only you, but even your blind old mother will probably starve to death!"

Yan Bugui's face flushed red, his eyes fixed fiercely on Liu Qian, and he said, word by word, "You—you'd better think this through."
