Chapter 415: Punishment
“Reporting to the Commanding Officer. Someone secretly took photos of me yesterday, and I asked him to delete them. That’s all!”
She placed heavy emphasis on the last two words.
But in Qin Huai’s ears, it sounded like a blatant provocation.
“That’s all? You people even hit someone. This was uploaded online. If it weren’t for the school’s quick response, you would have ruined our school’s reputation! Why? Do you think that I can’t punish you now that you entered the Shooting Department?”
Qin Huai was still fuming over what had happened before. And now, Gu Qingjiu suddenly did something of the like.
Of course, he would gladly nab at this opportunity to deal with Gu Qingjiu.
But…
“We didn’t hit him. He himself…”
Before she finished her sentence, Qin Huai sternly cut her off again. “He himself what? Gu Qingjiu, are you disobeying your Commanding Officer’s order? Go down and run fifty rounds in the field right now! After you’re done, write a ten thousand-word report to reflect on yourself. Recite it before school next week during the assembly! A serious demerit will be recorded!”
Gu Qingjiu’s countenance turned dark.
This Qin Huai clearly didn’t distinguish right or wrong.
He only wanted to convict her of wrongdoing.
But then again, he was the Commanding Officer!
Military orders couldn’t be disobeyed!
His vicious and gleeful eyes were still staring at Gu Qingjiu. Seeing that she looked furious yet didn’t dare to rebut him, he felt immensely pleased.
He was punishing Gu Qingjiu in an aboveboard fashion this time.
Even if that Chief Instructor wanted to come back to help Gu Qingjiu, he couldn’t!
The other Commanding Officers in the office exchanged looks.
Everyone knew what had happened last time. But they didn’t know that He Niancheng purposely sought trouble with Qin Huai.
They thought that Qin Huai wasn’t able to punish Gu Qingjiu because she completed his task perfectly. Thus, he felt displeased over that.
But…
Wasn’t he being too petty?
How could a grown man like him be so calculative with a young lady?
But soldiers hitting civilians was a rather serious matter, especially now that it had made its way online.
Although the school stopped the matter from spreading, it was inevitable that the school would mete out punishment.
But from the way it sounded, Qin Huai didn’t even bother to ask for the truth before anxiously meting out punishments. It was too impetuous of him.
Gu Qingjiu said nothing and simply turned around to leave.
Of course, she was going to carry out the punishment Qin Huai meted out.
She could tell that Qin Huai was deliberately picking on her, and thus there wasn’t any point in wasting her breath with him.
When she reached the field, Gu Qingjiu started running around the perimeter.
It was a Sunday and there wasn’t really a need to train. Hence, Gu Qingjiu running on the field seemed a little strange.
It was the place where the school held its assemblies, so it occupied quite a sizable area—one round was about several thousand meters.
The place wasn’t used for running most of the time and was only used for practicing their square marches.
And they were at most made to run ten rounds during training, normally.
Fifty rounds.
He was bent on fixing her to death.
This was a crossroads in the school, and so many people would pass by here. Seeing Gu Qingjiu running there, they pointed fingers at her in shock.
Even if it was a morning jog, who would jog there so early in the morning?
From the looks of it, she must be carrying out a punishment.
Gu Qingjiu’s limit was usually only around seven to eight rounds or so.
She slowly jogged, and by the time she finished her eighth round, her legs felt laden with lead.
People were bound by their physical limitations, and it wasn’t a matter of sheer will at times.
During her ninth to tenth round, all Gu Qingjiu could hear were her heavy breathing sounds.
She felt that the moment she would stop, she would immediately fall sitting to the ground.
