Hello, Mr. Major General

Chapter 435: Out of the Trap

Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and looked at Miao Yunxiao who was about to choke up with tears. She turned to Ma Qiqi and said, “go inside, Qiqi. I have something to say to Miao Yunxiao.”

Ma Qiqi looked between Miao Yunxiao and Gu Nianzhi with a worried expression and spoke to Miao Yunxiao. “Remember, Miao Yunxiao. We are classmates. We’ll be spending a lot of time together over the next two and a half years. Don’t overdo anything.” Nodding to Gu Nianzhi, she turned and went back to her room.

Miao Yunxiao chuckled after Ma Qiqi as she left. “What’s the matter? Afraid to let your roommate know what you’ve done? So you’re just the same, huh?”

All of Gu Nianzhi’s amicable intentions disappeared in thin air as she heard the words come out of Miao Yunxiao’s mouth. She didn’t want to waste any more time, so Gu Nianzhi just pointed to the door and calmly said, “get out.”

Miao Yunxiao did not expect Gu Nianzhi to chase her out of her room. What bad manners!

“Why should I leave? I’m not the one with a guilty conscious,” Miao Yunxiao said. She clenched her fists, and her messy hair fell over her shoulders making her look like an angry Chow Chow puppy.

“You will leave because I asked you to. This is my dorm. I have the right to ask you to go.” Gu Nianzhi continued to point towards the door, her tone nothing but firm. “Get lost.”

“Oooh, you’re just going to chase me out? No wonder people say you have no manners. No parents to give you a proper upbringing, huh?”

Slap!

Gu Nianzhi’s slapped Miao Yunxiao’s face before she had even finished her sentence.

“Badmouth my parents like that again, and I’ll slap you every time I lay my eyes on you!”

One side of Miao Yunxiao’s face was numb, but she smiled wryly at Gu Nianzhi. “Using violence just because you can’t outsmart me. That just won’t do.” She took out her phone and called the school’s security. “Help! Someone hit me! I’ve been attacked! I’m in the new masters female dormitory!”

The security rushed to the sixth floor immediately. Gu Nianzhi realized she’d fallen into Miao Yunxiao’s trap the moment she called the security.

Miao Yunxiao’s anger and humiliating words about her parents had made her so angry she’d lashed out and hit Miao Yunxiao. She’d made a mistake the moment she’d initiated violence. Now, Miao Yunxiao had a reason to file a lawsuit against Gu Nianzhi. Unless Gu Nianzhi agreed to remove her charges against Xu Piaohong, Miao Yunxiao would bring her to court as well. It was a continuous trap, and the main goal was to force Gu Nianzhi to remove her charges against Xu Piaohong. When Gu Nianzhi realized what she’d done her gaze darkened.

Still, she had no regrets. Even if she’d known Miao Yunxiao’s plan beforehand, she still would have hit her.

She couldn’t just let Miao Yunxiao get her way just like that. Miao Yunxiao wanted her to fall into a trap. Well, it wasn’t going to be that easy.

Gu Nianzhi narrowed her eyes and suddenly charged at Miao Yunxiao. She took her hair and banged her head against the wall.

Miao Yunxiao was shocked. Why would Gu Nianzhi attack her after she’d already called security! Did she want to go to jail?

Even if Gu Nianzhi had gone crazy, Miao Yunxiao couldn’t just let her bang her head against the wall like that. If she got a concussion or suffered any permanent damage she’d suffer even more than her cousin.

In a moment of panic, Miao Yunxiao grabbed Gu Nianzhi’s hand tightly. She was nervous so she was even stronger than normal, and she bruised Gu Nianzhi’s wrist. Using her other hand, she tried to push Gu Nianzhi away.

Ma Qiqi had only exited the room for a few minutes before she started hearing noises outside. She rushed out immediately and was greeted with a fight between Gu Nianzhi and Miao Yunxiao. Gu Nianzhi was grabbing Miao Yunxiao’s hair, and Miao Yunxiao was twisting Gu Nianzhi’s wrist.

Ma Qiqi ran over and held Miao Yunxiao’s wrist with one hand and Gu Nianzhi’s arm with another. “Use your words! Don’t fight! Stop this now!”

Miao Yunxiao’s scalp was hurting from Gu Nianzhi’s firm grip. She didn’t want to be slammed against the wall again, so she used all her strength in an attempt to push Ma Qiqi aside, and kick Gu Nianzhi at the same time.

Gu Nianzhi had learned martial arts from Huo Shaoheng, and even though she only knew the basics, she was very flexible compared to other girls. Even though she looked messy fighting Miao Yunxiao, she knew exactly what she was doing. She only exposed strong areas of her body like her shoulders and back.

Ma Qiqi had learned ballet for many years. Though it was difficult, she was also flexible enough to handle stopping both Gu Nianzhi and Ma Qiqi. Miao Yunxiao thought Gu Nianzhi wanted to seriously injure her, and her strength to protect herself was extremely strong.

Miao Yunxiao was kicking Gu Nianzhi when the security officers arrived. Gu Nianzhi had to take care of Ma Qiqi and keep a lookout for people coming at the same time. In a moment of distraction, Miao Yunxiao’s kick landed on her shin. Even though she managed to move away in time, her shin was still hit by the heel of Miao Yunxiao’s stiletto. It hurt quite a bit.

“Stop! Stop!”

“Stop fighting!”

The security officers came in together and twisted Miao Yunxiao’s arms.

“What’s going on? Hand over your identity card!”

Glaring at Gu Nianzhi, Miao Yunxiao groaned in pain and anger. “Gu Nianzhi! You’re a cunning snake!”

Ma Qiqi quickly helped Gu Nianzhi up. “How’s your leg? Oh no, another injury! Will you have to recuperate for another two weeks again!”

The corners of Gu Nianzhi’s lips twitched. She got up slowly with Ma Qiqi’s help and pointed at Miao Yunxiao. “Thank goodness you guys came. It’s her! She came to our dormitory and started this whole fight. She even insulted us! I tried to reason with her, but it was no use, and she started fighting me.”

“She hit me first! I was defending myself!” Miao Yunxiao’s tears fell freely from her face, as the two huge security officers pinned her. “You’ve got the wrong person! I was the one who made the phone call!”

“It was you?”

“Yes! Check the number on your phone!” Miao Yunxiao was furious. Glaring at Gu Nianzhi, she vowed to not let her get away with this. She was still hoping to make Gu Nianzhi revoke her charges against her cousin. Now she was suddenly involved in a fight, and it had even been witnessed by the school’s security officers.

Hitting someone on your own accord and being involved in a fight were two totally different issues and had very different legal responsibilities. The officers looked at each other and were just about to check the phone when Gu Nianzhi laughed wryly. “Ha, so well planned. Just call the police beforehand, and you’re off the hook, huh?”

Miao Yunxiao was furious. She turned to look at Ma Qiqi and shouted, “Qiqi! Say something! Who started the fight?”

Feeling wronged, Ma Qiqi narrated what she’d seen. “I was in the room so I didn’t see who started the fight. I only know they’d already started fighting by the time I was here, and Miao Yunxiao was insulting Nianzhi nonstop.”

Gu Nianzhi looked at her bruised wrist and showed it to the security officers. “Here, and my leg too. It’s all bruised. I can go to the school’s clinic to get them verified.”

“I have bruises too!” Miao Yunxiao said quickly, not wanting to look like the guilty party. “I can even go to the Forensic Lab to get them verified!”

“You want to get your bruises verified by a Forensic Scientist? Are you crazy?” Gu Nianzhi made sure to look completely shocked. “Sounds like you had this all planned out. You planned to start a fight with me just so you could prove I injured you. You wanted to look like the victim, didn’t you? You really are something Miao Yunxiao. This is a case of false accusation, officers! I will not give in. If you want to play it this way, I’ll be seeing you in court!”

The plan, which Miao Yunxiao had thought was perfect, was now seamlessly pushed back on her, and there was nothing she could do. It wasn’t like she could say yes, that was indeed my plan all along, how else could I get you to revoke your charges against my cousin!

Now it was all down the drain. She’d been beat, but it was no help at all.

The method the person had told her to try hadn’t worked.

Miao Yunxiao’s expression changed. There was redness from a slap, which didn’t look as obvious under her messy hair. Moreover, there was also redness on one side of Gu Nianzhi’s face. The corner of one of her eyes was also bruised. It was a classic case of a student catfight. If incidents like catfights could be brought to court, judges would be tired to death. The school’s security officers had no intention of bringing a catfight case to court.

The facts remained the same: Hitting someone on your own accord and being involved in a fight were two totally different issues, and had very different legal responsibilities. Hitting someone on your own accord was a serious crime and would have serious consequences. However, a fight between two people that didn’t involve serious injuries only required an investigation report by a school counselor.

The security officers were extremely familiar with the procedures and got them done in no time. It wasn’t long before Gu Nianzhi’s home teacher, He Zhichu, and Miao Yunxiao’s home teacher both got wind of what had happened. Their counselor, Gui Suyao was also called to the dormitory.

He Zhichu had just landed when he received the call. He rushed back to school immediately. Huo Shaoheng was also quickly notified of the incident. Zhao Liangze stared at his phone in disbelief after receiving the information. Then he ran to Huo Shaoheng’s office. “Mr. Huo, Nianzhi just fought with someone in school. She’s now required to cooperate with investigations.”

Huo Shaoheng remained silent.
