Chapter 391: Chapter 387: Confrontation

Although he hadn’t been officially compiled into the system, in the eyes of outsiders, he was undoubtedly a policeman. Using such petty tricks against him — wasn’t that seeking death?

Originally, he thought that as long as the other party didn’t play any tricks on him, he’d just watch their performance. After all, their work didn’t intersect. But he didn’t expect people’s hearts could be so dirty.

No matter whether it was impulsive or not, since you did it, be prepared to pay the price.

In just a moment, the narration prompts in his mind went off like crazy, various details, evidence, motives for committing the crime, what consequences Da Huang would face, and even how he should retaliate — all the prompts surged out all at once.

The company restroom suddenly erupted in a heated argument, quickly drawing the attention of employees from other departments.

In no time, quite a few people gathered around, and twenty minutes later, word had spread to those eating out, that President Shen’s secretary had gotten into a fight with a newcomer.

"Brother Su, you’re the senior here, but don’t falsely accuse people. What do you mean I drugged Da Huang? I just saw a chicken leg on the floor when I came in, it’s not like I fed it to him. If Da Huang wants to eat it, can I stop him?

Everyone, come have a look, President Shen’s secretary is bullying people. So what if you’re the leader? I can just quit, can’t I? What are you pretending for? Speak with evidence, will you?"

At the end of his speech, Bai Hao suddenly became emotional; those unaware would really think the newcomer was being treated unfairly.

Outside the restroom, a crowd had gathered to watch the drama unfold. Facing Bai Hao’s questioning, Su Qing remained silent, his expression icy cold. He had already figured out what to do.

Seeing him say nothing, Bai Hao thought he had the upper hand and continued,

"I just started here, how am I supposed to know who you are? I was just using the restroom when you barged in and even laid hands on me. Didn’t you say you were going to call the police? Go ahead, I actually want to go to the hospital to have my injuries examined. Where can’t I find a job for 3,000 yuan a month? Really amusing."

Just as he finished speaking, Sun Mumu’s voice emerged from the crowd.

"Make way, make way!" she said as a petite figure squeezed out from the crowd.

"Su Qing, something’s wrong with Da Huang. It’s making strange noises and seems really uncomfortable, went twice already — feels like it ate something bad. What do we do?"

With Sun Mumu’s voice, Bai Hao’s expression noticeably changed.

Hearing this, Su Qing finally spoke softly, "No worries, let it learn a lesson. Take it to the nearby pet hospital to check it out!"

Da Huang only ate half the chicken leg, so the drug dosage was naturally low. Besides, it was just a laxative, not a deadly poison, so its life wasn’t in danger.

Through the narration, he also learned that Da Huang would only suffer a bit this time. Plus, Bai Hao’s real aim wasn’t to poison his dog to death, but to embarrass him.

Who told him not to allow bringing in the cat? You can bring a dog, but I can’t bring a cat — isn’t that just like allowing the government to set fires but not the common folks?

Moreover, when Feng Yan told him initially, she didn’t spare his feelings at all. And Su Qing bluntly told him it was he who instructed Feng Yan to say so, that kind of nonchalant tone really peeved the fresh graduate.

Especially after learning Su Qing had only joined the company two months before him, he was even more dissatisfied.

First-time workers, fresh from graduation, often struggle to adapt to the tone of colleagues and bosses, feeling humiliated.

Most people go through this phase to some extent and get better after adapting. Clearly, Bai Hao’s reaction was a bit extreme.

"Alright, I’m on it!"

Sun Mumu immediately turned around, then quickly led Da Huang away.

"Wow~~ owoo~~" [Damn, my stomach, damn it~~ no good, need to go again!]

Da Huang cried miserably as it walked, occasionally leaving behind another streak, looking quite pitiful.

"Miaomiao!"

"What’s up?"

"Can you find a cleaning lady to clean up a bit and have her follow Da Huang downstairs to clean the traces along the way? Transfer her 200 yuan, and I’ll reimburse you!" Su Qing said.

After all, going downstairs, if Da Huang kept making a mess, it wouldn’t look good and could trouble others.

Su Qing disliked troubling others the most.

"Got it, I’m on it!"

Lin Miaomiao immediately went to find the cleaning lady.

Seeing this, everyone began whispering.

"Hey, something’s really wrong with Da Huang. Could someone really have drugged it?"

"Who knows? Da Huang is our company’s mascot. What kind of scumbag would be so inhumane?"

"Exactly, it must have been deliberate. I only feed Da Huang fruits, it wouldn’t upset its stomach."

Hearing the discussions, Bai Hao began to panic.

With Da Huang gone, Su Qing finally turned around and said, "It doesn’t matter if you don’t admit it. The police will be here soon, let’s tell them!"

"You think I’m scared of you? Let them come, I didn’t do it anyway. And why should I wait just because you tell me to? Who do you think you are? I can just quit, can’t I? If something happens, have the police contact me. I’m not waiting!"

With that, Bai Hao tried to leave. Although he seemed confident, deep down he was uncertain, having never had the police called on him before. He was somewhat nervous and had some regrets.

His plan was initially to discreetly feed Da Huang and slip away unnoticed. A laxative doesn’t take effect immediately, so he could have easily cleared himself from suspicion during that time.

Moreover, Da Huang has more than one feeder daily, grabbing bites here and there, making it impossible to pinpoint accurately. Yet he never expected Su Qing to walk in at the crucial moment, catching him red-handed, leaving him to improvise and deny providing the chicken leg.

In response, Su Qing swiftly blocked Bai Hao.

"What are you doing? Are you not going to let me leave? Who do you think you are? I’m leaving, let’s see if you dare touch me?"

Seeing him block his path, Bai Hao suddenly felt his blood boil, but the next second, cold water drenched him.

Su Qing pulled out his special police advisor ID, revealing the police badge and stated, "I am a Cyber Security Promotion Advisor for the East City Public Security Bureau in Jiangcheng City. I’ve already called the police, and I hope you’ll stay and cooperate with their investigation."

Though his voice was not loud, it made Bai Hao’s eyes widen and sweat pour down his face.

Ordinary people couldn’t distinguish between his ID and that of a real police officer, leading them to treat it all as a genuine police matter.

"You... how do I know if it’s real!" Bai Hao stammered.

This time he was truly afraid. Wasn’t he supposed to be President Shen’s secretary? How did he suddenly become a police officer? Can police have side jobs?

So he didn’t believe it at all; he had never heard of police taking on other jobs. Yet at this moment, he wasn’t daring to make any rash moves.

Suddenly, before he could speak, Zhang Rong, from the impromptu narration group on the side, chimed in, "Xiao Bai, Xiao Su is indeed affiliated with the police bureau; the ID is real, we all know about it. Was it really you? If so, you should apologize to Xiao Su, don’t let it escalate to a police matter!"

"No, it wasn’t me, I didn’t..." Bai Hao quickly denied.

"Sister Zhang, it’s fine. I understand criminal investigation work. Once the officers arrive, we’ll collect evidence on the spot.

Sister Feng, could you please contact Brother Wang and inform him that Da Huang is not in good health and can’t shoot commercials now? Postpone the advertisement, note the breach penalties, and later we’ll calculate the losses incurred for us and our partners to facilitate legal action."

Hearing he might be sued, Bai Hao became even more flustered, feeling a bit dry at the mouth.

"Oh, and I forgot to tell you, Da Huang is the company’s model with many endorsements. Whoever damages Da Huang has to take responsibility. Don’t think just because Da Huang is a dog, all you have to do is apologize if you’re found out.

Of course, there’s no need to be overly afraid; this is at most a civil matter, with no criminal implications. You just have to pay up if it’s a civil dispute!"

With that, Su Qing walked away directly.

At this moment, Bai Hao’s mind was filled with only two words.

"It’s over!"
