Chapter 26, Enthusiastic Aunt Zhang

"Captain Li, you've surely never heard the saying, 'Don't counsel others to do good until you've experienced their suffering.' You probably don't understand what it means, but let me offer a phrase you might understand: a famous quote from a great man: 'It's better to pursue a desperate enemy with your remaining courage than to seek fame by imitating a tyrant.'"

Wang Duoyu said bluntly:

"If I had really sneaked to the capital in today's incident, I'm afraid you would be biased towards them, right? Captain Li, please don't say anything. I know you want to say that you will be fair and just. Haha, are you sure you are really fair?"

Captain Li nodded seriously, and Wang Duoyu immediately retorted, "And now you're still advising me that it's better to resolve a feud than to create one. Aren't you taking him seriously? Even in this situation, you're still siding with this beast in disguise? Just because he's a college student?"

Without waiting for Captain Li to continue speaking, Wang Duoyu said:

"It's better to resolve a feud than to create one. There's also a saying that goes, 'If you don't seek revenge, you're not a gentleman.' Captain Li, you might not be well-educated, so I don't blame you for not knowing that. But if you don't understand this, why are you still giving me advice?"

"If I really stole these things, I would have to work on the sewing machine for several months at least, right?"

"Alright, I won't waste any more time. Detain him immediately. I'll be in Beijing for a while anyway, so I have plenty of time to deal with this matter. If your security department doesn't take this seriously, I'll suggest that we publish this in 'Beijing Literature and Art' and I'll also write to other institutions in Beijing."

"Oh, by the way, I have several other pen names. If you don't believe in my determination, then feel free to give them a try and see who will regret it in the end."

Having said that, the smiles on Captain Li and the other three security staff members' faces disappeared, and Zhao Mingxuan stood aside with a grim face, but the latter did not realize the seriousness of the matter at this time.

Once his university finds out about his situation, he might be expelled. Even if he is not expelled, his file will be tainted.

"Wang Duoyu, I was wrong, please let me go, I was wrong, really"

Just when Xiao Song from the security department took out the silver bracelet, Zhao Mingxuan suddenly knelt down in front of Wang Duoyu, apologizing while kneeling, saying that he really regretted it.

That was a silver bracelet, representing the supreme power of the country's law enforcement agency. Once handcuffed, his life would probably be ruined. Such an experience was enough to make him remember it for the rest of his life.

"I told you before, don't regret it. It seems that you are not so tough now. I still like the awesome and tough look you had just now. How about you recover for a while?"

Wang Duoyu chuckled, and then witnessed Captain Li and the other two taking Zhao Mingxuan away. At the same time, Lao Fan and the other three college students were also taken away. Of course, he also had to go to the Security Department office to handle this case.

More than half an hour later, Wang Duoyu walked out of the department store with his things. He looked back at the building behind him with a complicated expression.

He never thought that the first time he came here in his life, he would actually go to the fifth floor, because the security department office was on the fifth floor.

If you want to go to the fifth floor, of course you have to pass through the fourth floor, and the fourth floor is the legendary Supply Department No. 34. Wang Duoyu just took a quick glance and didn't see it very clearly.

However, this Supply Department No. 34 was actually a state-owned commercial enterprise established by the People's Republic of China. Its full name was Supply Department No. 34 of the Beijing Food Supply Bureau. Zhao Mingxuan was to be imprisoned for three months and had already been sent away, certainly not to the department store. His three classmates, who had tried their best to distance themselves from the incident, were not detained. They were only verbally reprimanded by Captain Li and asked to write a letter of apology.

The matter ended here, and Wang Duoyu didn't care about it anymore after he walked out of the department store.

After he had lunch outside, it was already past two in the afternoon when he returned to the gate of No. 3 Courtyard of Dafang Hutong. His neighbor Aunt Zhang and others immediately asked him about his well-being, which almost made Wang Duoyu unable to cope.

Wang Duoyu returned to his room in a panic, closed the door, and started to do his own work.

Before coming to Beijing, he had asked Liu Xiaoli to help him buy two journals, but due to being busy, he has not finished reading them yet. Now he has temporarily settled down in Beijing and can continue his research.

He wrote literary works for a living, and the same was true for revising manuscripts in Beijing. Of course, in Beijing, he would have more opportunities to purchase periodicals, or even directly ask someone to help him order periodicals. When he returned to Qingshan Township after a while, he would not be unable to purchase periodicals.

In addition, he had to write another letter to tell Liu Xiaoli that she didn't need to help him buy journals next month.

In the evening, it was almost dark outside. Wang Duoyu had already turned on the electric light and lit candles and kerosene lamps because this was his habit. If the light was too dim, it would hurt his eyes.

In his previous life, he was myopic with a degree of more than 800. He didn't want to experience the feeling of myopia again in this life, because wearing heavy glasses would crush his high nose bridge.

The most important thing is that he is still young and wants to do a lot of things. He doesn't want his myopia to make him look like a blind person every time he wakes up and opens his eyes, and then cause him to get hurt.

Of course, too bright lights are not a good thing either. The best way to protect your eyes is to not overuse them no matter what you do.

"Great writer, great writer, are you at home? Why are you keeping the door closed? Haven't you eaten yet? Come here, this is the noodles I just cooked. I cooked an extra bowl, please don't be disgusted."

Aunt Zhang knocked on the door and came in with a warm smile. She placed a bowl of noodles next to Wang Duoyu's desk. Looking at the journals, manuscripts, etc. on his desk, she couldn't help but exclaimed:
"As expected of a writer, I can't understand what you're saying. But you're really working hard, aren't you? You've been reading for three or four hours since you came back, right? You're so diligent."

"Thank you, Auntie. How much is a bowl of this noodles? I'll give you money." Wang Duoyu didn't want to accept the other party's kindness and could only spend money to avoid disaster. As a result, Aunt Zhang was unhappy.

"Why should I give you money? Since you've come to our courtyard, we must treat you well. Don't listen to other people's nonsense and think that our neighbors are bad."

"I'm sure you listened to Captain Fu from your unit this morning, right? Let me tell you, the last time that writer came to our place, it was actually because some other neighbors were too much."

Wang Duoyu smiled awkwardly and let the other party perform. After the other party finished speaking, he said, "Auntie, you are so kind. You don't know that I am already 25 years old this year. I have been submitting articles to magazines since I was 13. I didn't receive a call from Editor Zhou until a week ago. But this time I came here to revise the manuscript at my own expense."
