Good Man Operation Guide
Chapter 119.1: The Research Fanatic Who Lost His Child (5)That statement made everyone around them confused, especially the guard, who thought he was chasing away an outsider who was harassing a student. Unlike the students around, who were simply watching the commotion, he was thinking much deeper into it.
For example, the woman claiming to be the mute’s mother in front of him was fair-skinned. She wasn’t exactly dressed elegantly, but the diamond ring on her hand and the jade jewellery and earrings around her neck were a complete set, enough to show that she had money.
Most importantly, that temperament couldn’t go unnoticed.
Why did she look like a rich madam? How did she become the mother of a mute who spent his days in front of the school working at a small stall?
However, in the eyes of the students, the guards were only a small part of the school. Their job was to protect the students, and students never needed them to appear when they quarrelled. They were only needed when people from outside the school caused trouble in the school or when a student got into an altercation at the gate.
Today, the guard realised that he had done nothing wrong. He had seen the young mute work in the stall near the school many times before. He didn’t know Zou Le, the student the teenager was pestering. However, he sided with her from the bottom of his heart just by looking at her pretty clothes and the look of embarrassment and innocence on her face.
Although Wang Xuan looked anxious and had no intentions of hurting anyone, the guard was already annoyed with him, as a mute, standing there going ‘ah ah ah’ and gesturing.
If this person, who wasn’t a student, approached the gate, the guard would carefully ask him things. But, because of Zou Le, the guard had already decided that Wang Xuan was here to cause trouble.
There were some outsiders looking for trouble in the school. Naturally, he had to take care of it.
Even if this young mute held a grudge, he never saw him interact with any gangsters, nor had he ever seen his family come work with him at the stall. And the boy was young. From appearance alone, the two people wouldn’t be able to beat the burly guard.Who would have thought that the boy would suddenly have a mother who looked like she shouldn’t be messed with?
The guard couldn’t understand why the mother and son, one dressed in fine clothes while the other dressed like a pauper, dark and thin, and working at a stall. It looked as if they were still on good terms. He couldn’t think too deeply about why the mother and son were too different right now. At that moment, a sense of crisis erupted in his mind.
The guard knew that, for the sake of their children, parents would turn irrational.
The other party seemed to have a lot of influence and would probably take her anger out on him. The guard didn’t want to lose his job, so he quickly rubbed his hands and softened his tone a bit, “Your child came to our school to cause trouble. He grabbed a female student from our school. I’m just doing my job. Please understand.”
“Impossible!”
Sure enough, in the next moment, the rich madam, who was still holding her son, was adamant, “My son is very well-behaved. He would never cause any trouble! There must be a reason!”
The guard wasn’t surprised. He worked as a guard at the school gate, and he saw all kinds of parents. There were a lot of parents who believed with all their hearts that their children were the most well-behaved in the world.
He wasn’t as rude as he was to Wang Xuan and explained in a friendly tone, “He insisted that this young girl was his girlfriend and that she had borrowed his money. How is that possible?... Ahem, I mean, the female student said that she doesn’t know your son and had never borrowed money. So it’s clear. He’s still adamant, causing trouble. The school day has ended, and there are a lot of students coming and going in front of the school. I can’t let him stay and block the path here.”
Zhou Chuchu was so agitated by the scene of her own child being bullied that she also lost her ability to think properly. After listening to the story, she simply asserted, “Xuan Xuan would never intentionally cause trouble!”
The guard almost wanted to slap some sense into the woman who couldn’t understand human speech; however, she wasn’t mute. She could speak and couldn’t be bullied. He didn’t dare do anything to her.
As he wondered how to deal with her, a man suddenly rushed in, anxiously coming through the crowd. He was wearing a formal outfit, his body was slender, and his features looked handsome and kind. Although he wasn’t wearing glasses but just standing there, his aura of elegance was obvious.
When the guard saw him walk up to the rich lady who had popped out of nowhere and patted her on the shoulder, gently saying, “I’ll take care of it,” the guard’s heart relaxed.
The man looked like he had a good temper, which was a good thing. This matter could have a big impact that wasn’t good. It’s best to resolve it privately.
Lin Shiheng, the good-tempered man, went straight to the guard. He glanced at Zou Le, who had long been scared silly by the sudden change in the situation, and bluntly said, “Please inform the Headmaster. We’ll take care of it.”
The guard was surprised and almost thought he had misheard, “Sir, isn’t that going overboard? The Headmaster is a busy man...”
“Then may I ask you, would it be going overboard for me to beat your child and cause them to fall to the ground in front of so many people?”
Lin Shiheng’s tone had always been mild and gentle, even in the current situation, but there was nothing gentle or nice about the words.
The guard still didn’t want the other party to go to the Headmaster. If this person was really being unreasonable, it was fine. But if he wrongly accused someone, wouldn’t he lose his job?
“Sir, I can understand your feelings. Why don’t you look at it this way? I’m also guilty of being a bit heavy-handed today. I’ll pay to send him to the hospital for a check-up. If there are any problems, I’ll take care of them, okay?”
The expression on Lin Shiheng’s face didn’t even change. He looked back at his son, who was held by his wife. When his son was pushed just now, his face had scraped the ground. At that moment, it was starting to bleed. He was quietly cowering in his mother’s arms, looking at his father without blinking.
He turned around and directly looked at the guard, “If it had been an off-campus student who had just been in conflict with this female student, would you still have struck so hard?”
The guard couldn’t answer.
Of course, he wouldn’t. Nowadays, which family’s children weren’t the treasures of their parents’ hearts, not to mention shoving someone straight to the ground, he would have to shoo them away extra politely.
The reason why he used such a heavy hand and didn’t even want to listen to his defence was that he knew Wang Xuan was mute and worked in a stall alone. The teenage boy would still set up a stall in the rain, and he was always dressed in rags. So he had no money, no one to rely on, and no one to support him.
He didn’t answer. Lin Shiheng sneered, “We know our son. He would never come to your school to cause trouble for no reason like you said. What’s the real reason for this matter? Let’s find out clearly. If it is really my child’s fault, I, as his father, will bring him along to apologise and admit his mistake. If it’s not my Xuan Xuan’s fault but someone throwing blame on his head and making him suffer, we’re going to have a long talk.”
Wang Xuan’s posture was a bit awkward. After all, he wasn’t really a small child. So, being held by Zhou Chuchu made him feel sore after a while. In addition, he scuffed his face when he was pushed to the ground just now. His leg seemed to have bumped somewhere. There was no part of his body that didn’t hurt right now.
But he didn’t care about it or even feel the pain.
Mr and Mrs Lin said they were my parents?
He felt as if his five senses were sealed by a transparent glass. He could hear the sound and see the scene, but his brain couldn’t perceive what was happening.
It was airy like he was having a good dream.
That was until he saw Mr Lin standing in front of him, acting as a father and seeking justice for him.
Wang Xuan’s nose suddenly felt sour, and he couldn’t control his tears. He felt that crying was a show of weakness. Every time he felt like crying, Wang Xuan would find a place to hide, so people couldn’t see his weakness.
But this time, he couldn’t bear to hide, couldn’t bear to remove his eyes from the person’s back standing in front of him.
Wang Xuan had suffered many hardships and losses. What he had felt the most wasn’t kindness but people’s malice.
This world wasn’t as beautiful as many people thought. Most people weren’t stingy with their sympathy for the weak, but for many more, being weak was equal to being a pushover.
A person who was weak, so weak that even if he was bullied, he couldn’t defend himself, gained a lot more malice.
For example, a colleague in an office, who was always nice to talk to and never said no, could be asked to do a lot of work that wasn’t in their job description. They would stay up until the work was done and then leave.
Because they were weak, they should suffer.
But this situation was only caused by personality, unlike Wang Xuan, who didn’t even have a way to change.
Wang Xuan once saw a grandma sitting on the side of the road. She had received counterfeit money and only discovered it afterwards. She slapped her thighs and cried while scolding the other party for having no conscience. She said that when selling vegetables, she couldn’t find any change and asked the other person to go to the supermarket next door to exchange the money. That person wouldn’t go, saying that he wanted to buy more vegetables anyway. From that, it was obvious that the other person knew that the 100 yuan was fake.
There were a lot of vegetable sellers on that street, but that person chose an old woman whose eyes weren’t good because of her age. It was nothing more than bullying by taking advantage of the other person’s weaknesses.
Just like Wang Xuan, he was mute and a 15-year-old boy who lived alone, so he encountered more malice than those who were able-bodied and adults.
Today, Zou Le knocked the pen out of his hand so that he would only face people with his weaknesses. If it weren’t for the kind-hearted student who lent him a pen, he wouldn’t have been able to even express what he was here to see Zou Le for.
He thought he had gotten used to it a long time ago.
He was used to people stomping on his weaknesses, and he didn’t even have the right to defend himself.
But today, Lin Shiheng stood in front of him.
As a father, seeking justice for him.
And there was a gentlewoman, calling his name, holding him in her arms, patting him gently on the back as if he had been terribly wronged, and comforting him with heartfelt compassion.
Wang Xuan’s eyes were like a valve that couldn’t be turned off. He couldn’t stop crying, and his eyes were blurred with tears. It was as if he wanted to let out all the grievances and sorrows that had accumulated in his heart over the years.
For the first time in his life, he cried like a child who was cherished by someone.
His tears dripped down on Zhou Chuchu and seemed to drip down onto her heart.
Zhou Chuchu hugged her baby tighter, patting him on the back.” Cry, just cry..."
Her sobbing voice was full of sorrow, and her own tears fell all over her face as she said, “Just cry it all out, Mom and dad will never let people bully you again
