Chapter 2 The Second Day
The next day, at the security office of Shanghang Art School, Yan Shouyi was interviewing several new security guards.
These guards had met Yan Shouyi once before. They seemed to be local hooligans from around the school. After their encounter with Yan Shouyi last time, they had actually come for an interview as security guards today.
Among them was the leader of the hooligans, nicknamed Dafei, whose real name was Zuo Yong. He was a native of Shanghang who had lived there even before the demolition of Shanghang Art School.
After the demolition, his family was allocated ten apartments and ten million yuan in cash. From then on, he lived a boring and monotonous life as a second-generation recipient of demolition compensation. With nothing else to do, he gathered other recipients of demolition compensation and they idled around near Shanghang Art School.
Although they were hooligans, they only did things like making some students at Shanghang Art School smoke. They didn't dare to commit any real bad deeds. In fact, last year they had protected a drunk girl from being violated by hooligans.
However, Zuo Yong upheld the traditional virtue of "doing good deeds without leaving a name." After sending the girl to the school, he left. If it weren't for the security guard interview, he wouldn't have mentioned it.
Yan Shouyi observed the physiognomy of Zuo Yong and the others. He noticed that although their nose bridges were sunken, their foreheads were full. People with such a facial structure were usually blessed with wealth, and money would come to their pockets without them having to do anything.
This kind of facial structure was something Long Feicheng sought but could not obtain...
Dafei and the others must have done many good deeds in their past lives to be so carefree in this one.
Speaking of which, after looking at the faces of Dafei and the others, Yan Shouyi felt that there was no problem with them becoming security guards. So, with a wave of his hand, he signed his name on the employment application form and directly hired them.
Brother Dafei took the signed form from Yan Shouyi and asked doubtfully:
"Captain, is your signature enough for hiring? Don't you need the Director of Moral Education, the Director of Human Resources, and their signatures?"
Although Dafei had not attended school or worked for many days, he had watched plenty of television dramas and felt that Yan Shouyi's method was too simple.
Yan Shouyi smiled and said, "It's okay, they give me a lot of face."
Dafei immediately nodded in understanding: "As expected of Brother Yan!"
As expected of the boss we have chosen!
It made sense, didn't it? Brother Yan was someone who could have a convoy of Rolls-Royces pick him up. Did he need to care about the Director of Moral Education's expression on a daily basis?
At most, only the principal could outrank Brother Yan, right?
This was what the hooligans thought. However, the truth was that ever since Yan Shouyi had sent the previous principal and vice-principal to prison, the leadership of Shanghang Art School was most afraid of him!
Especially Director Du of the Moral Education Office. This guy often accepted bribes and was most afraid of Yan Shouyi causing trouble for him.
Therefore, now, the school leaders addressed Yan Shouyi as Captain Yan respectfully.
As Dafei and the others were holding the form and pondering Yan Shouyi's identity, a middle-aged man poked his head in from the door and asked timidly:
"May I ask if Captain Yan is here?"
This person had a crew cut, dark skin, and a very non-standard Mandarin accent. He looked like a farmer who had just arrived in the city. His attire was even plainer than Yan Shouyi's usual clothes.
Dafei and the others immediately got into character and said to the middle-aged man, "What do you need to see our captain for? If it's a small matter, you can tell us. No need to trouble our captain, the elder."
Yan Shouyi almost burst out laughing. He had only become a security captain, and now he was being called an "elder"?
The middle-aged man was also honest. He walked in and said with a smile:
"I am the newly appointed principal. I just started today and specifically came to say hello to Captain Yan!"
Dafei: "..."
Brother Yan's status is indeed extraordinary!
They were just thinking that perhaps only the principal of Shanghang Art School could suppress Yan Shouyi. However, the reality was that the newly appointed principal actually came to visit Yan Shouyi in person.
We really didn't follow the wrong boss!!!
When Yan Shouyi heard that the other party was the principal, he immediately got up, greeted him politely, and offered him a seat.
However, the other party dared not sit. He scratched his head and said, "Captain Yan, to tell you the truth, I have never done anything harmful to heaven or man in my life. It was not my intention to take up the position at Shanghang Art School. However, since I'm here, I'll make the best of it. I promise not to do anything illegal or disciplinary. I hope you will take care of me and go easy on me in the future!"
Yan Shouyi: "..."
I haven't done anything harmful to heaven or man either. Why are you so scared?
I just sent the previous principal and vice-principal to prison!
It's not a big deal, you don't need to be so scared, do you?!
Dafei and the others broke out in a cold sweat: Big brother is indeed big brother. This is not fear, this is extreme fear!
The fact that the newly appointed principal's first action upon arriving at the school was to greet Yan Shouyi showed how high Yan Shouyi's status was now.
Yan Shouyi made tea for the principal. The principal received it with trepidation. Yan Shouyi asked his surname. The principal chuckled awkwardly, "My surname is Zhong. My given name is a single character, Qi. Captain Yan can call me Xiao Zhong."
Yan Shouyi couldn't help but smile wryly. This Principal Zhong was clearly much older than him. How could he call him Xiao Zhong?
However, Yan Shouyi happened to remember something, so he said to Principal Zhong, "Principal Zhong, I apologize, but I have something to ask of you right after we meet. I have to go to Licheng in a few days and will likely need to take three days of leave. Is that okay?"
Principal Zhong quickly said, "Please do. Please take your leave. Don't worry about the school; I will arrange for someone to handle it."
Watching them talk, it seemed as if Yan Shouyi was the principal and Principal Zhong was the security captain.
With the principal's such enthusiasm, Yan Shouyi couldn't help but thank him. Just then, Yan Shouyi received another call.
Looking at the name on the caller ID, Yan Shouyi's expression suddenly became quite serious.
He greeted everyone and went to the corridor to answer the call: "Hello? Officer Xia Zhi, this is Yan Shouyi."
The call was from Officer Xia Zhi. Normally, there wouldn't be any major issues, and Xia Zhi wouldn't contact Yan Shouyi proactively. Now that Xia Zhi had contacted him, it meant that something she couldn't handle had definitely happened.
As expected, Xia Zhi's tone was serious. She said, "Yan Shouyi, some strange things have happened here, and I'm afraid I need your help."
"Officer Xia Zhi, please tell me." Dafeng Novel Network
"Do you remember Zhou Mingyuan, who was killed by Liu Weiwu before? Liu Weiwu opened a large hole in Zhou Mingyuan's chest with an earth cannon. After we had the forensic doctor perform an autopsy on Zhou Mingyuan, and because we couldn't contact his family, Zhou Mingyuan's body was stored in the morgue. As for Liu Weiwu, he was imprisoned, awaiting execution. But... last night, Liu Weiwu, who was being held in solitary confinement, suddenly died in prison!"
Yan Shouyi frowned: "Brother Wei is dead? How did he die?"
"A large hole was opened in his chest, and his internal organs were all pulled out. His expression was extremely ferocious and painful. The forensic doctor said he was disemboweled alive, watching his internal organs being pulled out bit by bit! What's even more terrifying is that the murderer used Liu Weiwu's blood to draw a lot of runes on the wall of the cell that we can't understand!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Shouyi already sensed that things were not simple.
Those involved with Liu Weiwu were nothing more than the Lushanshu faction and the Bai family. Both of them had the motive to kill Liu Weiwu to silence him. But why would they kill a mere Liu Weiwu in such a high-profile manner, and after his death, draw runes on the wall with his blood?
Xia Zhi sighed and said:
"This matter is too bizarre. We really can't handle it, so we can only ask you to take care of it."
"No problem, I'll pack my things and come over right away." Yan Shouyi agreed without hesitation.
The main reason was that the person who died this time was Liu Weiwu, and Yan Shouyi still had some connection with him. If he didn't clarify this matter, Yan Shouyi might not be able to rest easy.
When Xia Zhi heard that Yan Shouyi had agreed, she immediately said she would drive to pick him up and would arrive as quickly as possible.
Yan Shouyi hung up the phone, returned to the security office, and immediately said to Principal Zhong, "Principal Zhong, I'm sorry, but I have an urgent matter and need to go out now."
Principal Zhong immediately replied with a smile, "Go ahead, it's fine!"
"Thank you, Principal."
After speaking, Yan Shouyi rushed back to pack his things.
Watching Yan Shouyi walk out of the security office, Zhong Qi's smile slightly subsided. He turned to look at the new young security guards and said to Dafei:
"New security guards?"
Dafei felt the invisible pressure emanating from Zhong Qi and couldn't help but recall the feeling he had when facing the grade director in elementary school.
This damned oppressive feeling!
The principal is indeed the principal. After Brother Yan left, Principal Zhong seemed to have changed into someone else. He was so scary!
Dafei quickly nodded: "Yes, Principal."
Zhong Qi stood up, patted Dafei's shoulder, and said, "Work hard. Follow Captain Yan and do a good job. I have high hopes for you!"
Dafei felt his head suddenly spin, and his vision momentarily blurred, but he quickly recovered and smiled as he saw the new principal out.
However, as soon as the principal left, Dafei inadvertently discovered that Yan Shouyi had brought Long Feicheng and was sitting in a police car at the school gate!
"This... This, this, this!"
Dafei exclaimed, "Brother is indeed Brother. He controls both the underworld and the law! We really didn't follow the wrong person!!!"
