2647 Unconvinced
“I’m sorry. I’ll take note next time.” After Ye Jian finished speaking, she waited for the inspection to end so that she could take her identification documents and return to the dormitory.
It was getting late. She wanted to wash up and go to bed by 1:10 pm.
However, she didn’t expect her cooperation to make the inspectors think that she was provoking them. They thought that Ye Jian was arrogant. She must think that she was impressive just because she was famous.
Ye Jian’s face turned cold. When an inspector confiscated her identification, Ye Jian reached out her hand to stop him. “I’m sorry, you can report my name, but you can’t confiscate my identification.”
!!
Her action and sentence provoked the inspectors. The leader immediately shouted in a low voice with a cold expression, “Bring her to the garrison room and lock her up! Tell her leader to come and fetch her! Also, tell her leader that returning to school in the middle of the night is against the school rules. At the same time, it’ll hinder the inspectors from carrying out our duties!”
When Ye Jian was in school, she often heard male soldiers complaining that the inspectors were unreasonable. She had never seen or met them before, so she always had reservations about this.
But after seeing this tonight, she finally understood the male soldiers’ complaints.
When she took back her identification document, one of the officers pushed her shoulder. At the same time, another officer wanted to grab her shoulder and bring her to the garrison room.
Ye Jian avoided them. Her gaze was a little cold, but she still maintained her manners and said, “I can go to the garrison room, but you have to give me my identification document. It’s not that I don’t want to cooperate and give you my identification document, but tomorrow, after my class gathers, we need to do outdoor shooting. We need to register our identification documents and get our guns. Hence, I can’t give you my identification document. Please forgive me.”
The outdoor shooting practice consisted of real guns and live ammunition. A student could only be given a gun if they showed their identification document. Without an identification document, there would be no gun.
The main reason was that the inspectors wouldn’t be able to return her identification document in a day or two. If she gave it to them tonight, she might not be able to get her identification document even if the leader came to the garrison room to fetch her tomorrow.
Ye Jian was someone who never held any grudges against other people, especially in school. Even if it was a small matter, she would just smile and forget about it.
But tonight, she had provoked the inspectors.
Ye Jian suppressed the anger in her heart and said patiently, “You’ve reported my name and identification number. I can’t give you my identification document.”
“You won’t give it to me just because you said so? Are you the one being investigated or am I?”
The leader didn’t have a good temper. When he saw that Ye Jian insisted on getting her identification document back and resisted going to the garrison room, he got even angrier. “Don’t think that you’re so great just because you’re a little famous now. You’re only in your first year. You’re still far away from graduating! Who knows what you’ll become?! You won’t be getting your identification document! Do you dare to snatch it back? I’ll make sure you can’t bear the consequences if you fail to do so tonight.”
After he finished speaking, he grabbed Ye Jian’s wrist and dragged her to the garrison room.
Ye Jian was so angry she wanted to laugh. She took a step back and said again, “I won’t do it. If I do that, it’ll be embarrassing for both of us. You have your own responsibilities, and I understand that. I’ve been cooperating with you the entire time and didn’t do anything to offend you. As for why you can’t keep my document, I’ve already explained it.
“I can go to the garrison room. I’ll go with you now. There’s no need to do anything.”
The school’s inspectors were known for their strictness. They were dutiful and loyal. Especially the older inspectors, who took good care of the students. She guessed that she had met… the inspectors that gave the male soldiers the most headache.
