Chapter Fifty-One: A Painful Night

  ♂?,,

  Although, judging from all sorts of signs, Ear Slap King has indeed sold me out.

  "What's going on, still not willing to speak?" The police officer stood up, walking towards me with a sly smile, "These days kids are so arrogant and reckless, they don't take the Public Security Bureau seriously at all. They think this is some kind of vacation spot if they don't get a taste of suffering."

  He dragged me by the arm, after a series of movements, and tied me to the heating pipe at an awkward position that was neither up nor down, unable to stand straight or squat down, it was really uncomfortable, and soon my body started to ache.

  "Haha, this is child's play. Everyone who comes in has to try it!" The other police officer stopped paying attention to me and started chatting and laughing with the other officers, waiting for me to crack under the pressure and confess voluntarily.

  I couldn't focus on their conversation at all. The pain started from my wrist and spread throughout my body, every part of me felt like it was being bitten by ants. It wasn't exactly painful, but it was enough to make me break out in a cold sweat.

  But I still endured, not saying a word. Although I didn't have to suffer this pain, my heart was stubbornly thinking of waiting a little longer. At that moment, I was like a drowning person, with a liferaft right next to me, but my eyes were fixed on the person on the shore who would reach out their hand.

  Besides... being tortured on a hot pack is nothing compared to the suffering of being bullied for three years in junior high school. That kind of life was truly like hell. Now it's just physical pain, but back then it was both physical and psychological torture. From boys to girls, from class officials to ordinary students, everyone would bully me.

  Wrapped in a warm air bag, I maintained an awkward posture, but my mind kept flashing back to my middle school life. Compared to the experiences of that time, this little pain now is really nothing. Time passed minute by minute, and after several hours, the inspector couldn't sit still anymore, saying to the person next to him: "Hey, how can this kid endure it?"

  Several other jingcha also chimed in: "Yes, just like an old hand." "Is he here for the first time?"

  "Hmm." The original Jing Cha said: "Can you bear it? If you can bear it, then interrogate him for a night and come back to question him again tomorrow morning!" While speaking, he glanced at me sideways, as if waiting for me to say something voluntarily. Unfortunately, I disappointed him, still keeping my head down, not saying a word, having learned the value of silence over the years.

  He scolded in a low voice and started chatting with others. Unconsciously, an afternoon passed by. No one came to look for me, and my limbs gradually became numb.

  "Still won't speak?" The police officer stood up, walked in front of me, and said coldly: "We're about to go off duty. Do you know what it's like to be interrogated for a whole night? It's worse than death!"

  I really want to tell him, is this what they call "better dead than alive"? Compared to my experiences in middle school, this is nothing. The tricks that Zou Yang and his classmates played on me, if I were to really talk about it, would probably make even the most seasoned observer sigh in amazement. Drinking mineral water with chalk dust mixed in, running a lap around the playground while carrying a desk, being suddenly kicked into the toilet during bathroom breaks... I endured all of these and still, what's there that I couldn't endure?! But I'm too lazy to speak up, so I just smiled bitterly.

  "Alright, you're quite tolerant." Jing patted my neck and suddenly pinched it very hard, "Damn, if not for your young age, I would have used the ten great tortures on you!"

  With a murmur, the other police officers also stood up to prepare for the end of their shift. As they were about to leave the interrogation room, one of them said: "When you need to use the toilet, just shout out loud, there's someone on duty in the corridor, but you only have two chances throughout the night, pray that you don't get diarrhea!"

  With a "bang", the door was shut. The interrogation room was very quiet, with only me and the heating pipe for company. The noisy sounds outside gradually subsided, as more and more people finished work, the entire police station slowly became desolate. The last rays of sunset also gradually disappeared, the interrogation room was slowly shrouded in darkness. The light from the corridor seeped in, allowing me to see some things clearly.

  To be honest, I quite like this quiet environment, it allows me to calm down and think about some things. For example, the direction of my future development, for example, the true purpose of Earlight King, and also, Taozi and Xiaxue. Okay, I admit it, at a time when I should be thinking about whether Earlight King will come to rescue me or not, most of the time I was thinking about Taozi and Xiaxue.

  Who do I really like, who do I want to be with? These two girls are both good girls, equally pure and kind, beautiful and lovely. One is introverted and shy, gentle as water, the other is passionate and outgoing, with clear likes and dislikes.

  The previous me, of course, would have chosen Xia Xue without hesitation. This girl who had once given me courage and strength, although her temper wasn't great and she was a bit overbearing, I was strongly drawn to her. And she didn't do what Su Xiao Bai said, waving goodbye and going back to be with him again. The fact that she's following the police car today is enough to prove her true feelings for me!

  Let's talk about Taozi again. Without a doubt, I am most comfortable and have the most to talk about when I'm with her. Honestly, I feel inferior in front of Xiaxue, she's the dazzling goddess of our class, and my former self wouldn't even dare imagine being with her. But in front of Taozi, I can easily crack jokes and be shamelessly cheeky. Some things about Taozi also strongly attract me, making me unknowingly like her more and more.

  The long night is endless. I, who was tied to the warm air bag, had enough time to think about these issues. Thinking and thinking, but still couldn't figure out a reason. Later on, I got more and more sleepy, my eyelids almost couldn't open, but this posture made it impossible to sleep, it's really miserable. Suddenly I envied Yuchen Fei, that guy who could fall asleep at any time in any posture.

  According to Yucheng Fei's plan, as long as we find out that Er Guang Wang doesn't have the intention of saving me at all, we'll immediately expose Yuan Shao and swagger back to class. The news of us taking down Mai Zi will definitely spread to every corner of Cheng Gao, and my status has already been elevated greatly without anyone noticing. As long as I can return to Cheng Gao safely, regardless of whether Er Guang Wang acknowledges it or not, I'll already be one of the well-known big shots in Cheng Gao.

  Although, Ushiro Hiro also told me: "However, your behavior should be more restrained, Ear Slap King's plan may not have succeeded this time, but he will definitely keep a close eye on you afterwards. As long as he can grasp even the slightest handle, he will try his best to expel you."

  That's the worst outcome. Think about it, I've already become one of the big shots in City High, who would dare to cause me trouble? Who else can I continue to fight with, and where will Slap King go to find my weakness? However, nothing is absolute, so just in case, I still hope that Slap King can come and save me, and from now on, there will be an extra layer of protection for me in City High.

  These jumbled thoughts kept swirling around in my head, I don't know what time it was when a massive wave of drowsiness hit me, and eventually I dozed off for a bit, my mind empty, leaning against the warm air vent, sleeping peacefully...

  At some unknown time, the interrogation room door was kicked open with a loud "bang". I suddenly opened my eyes to see that the inspector had already walked in. The sunlight outside the window was bright and beautiful, and the second day had finally arrived. The inspector stood in front of me, carefully examining me. After a while, he said: "Not a drop of water has been drunk, not a bite of food has been eaten, not once has the toilet been used, I've never seen anyone who can endure like this."

  I smiled and said: "Can I go to the bathroom now?"

  Jing glanced at me, then unlocked my handcuffs. I was just about to stretch my body when my legs suddenly gave way and I fell to the ground. Jing looked at me with a satisfied expression: "You know it's tough now? Hurry up and tell us what happened, why suffer like this? In another two or three days, that student who was stabbed will wake up, and then we won't need your confession anymore."

  I sat on the ground and rubbed my legs, asking: "How's Wheat? The student I poked."

  "Never mind." Jing Cha hummed and said: "If he really died, it wouldn't be so easy now."

  I nodded, stood up, and staggered towards the toilet. After I finished and came back, Jingzi again tied me to the hot water bottle.

  "Still won't say?" Jing Cha gave me a new pose with an even higher level of difficulty, more unbearable than yesterday.

  "Has anyone come looking for me?" I panted and asked: "Our Dean of Studies, has he come looking for me?"

  "He's here for what?" Jing looked at me with a puzzled expression: "The school has had such a big incident, he should be comforting the students' hearts. Now they are busy dealing with it, and that student who was stabbed is likely to be expelled too."

  "Hmm..." Upon hearing this sentence, I unexpectedly felt extremely calm, perhaps it was already within my expectations...

  But after all, this is just a guess, and I'm impressed by my own attitude of not shedding tears until I see the coffin.

  "But there are others looking for them." Jing said, "There are some students, both male and female, who have been waiting outside the Public Security Bureau since early morning, wanting to take a look. However, it's not possible now, as they are still in the interrogation period and haven't been sentenced or locked up yet. Therefore, they can't come in for a visit either. If you want to see them sooner, you'd better tell us what happened quickly."

  It's a guy, I guess it should be Ye Zhan or Gong Ning. As for the girl, only Xia Xue and Taozi can come to see me.

  Thinking of them all outside the door, my heart is warm and sunny, sweeping away a cloud of gloom in my heart. In junior high school, I never thought that I could have so many good friends. When I think back to when I received the admission letter before coming to City High, Zhōu Yáng made me kneel down at that moment, I vowed in my heart that once I went to City High, I would definitely have a group of good brothers. I didn't expect it to happen so soon, and this wish has already come true. I look back at the sunlight outside the window, even though I'm in an interrogation room, even though I'm handcuffed to a heating pipe, even though I'm maintaining such an awkward posture, but my heart is still filled with sunshine and joy.
