"When you have trouble, seek help from the police," Chen Hai's teachers had told him during his elementary school years.
After leaving Jinyuan Hotel, he pondered briefly before heading straight in the direction of the nearby police station.
Taking his exam scores, was it a criminal matter or a civil matter? Chen Hai was utterly unclear.
At the county education bureau, he couldn't even get through the main gate now.
After thinking it over, apart from the police station, he could think of nowhere else to go to find justice!
In his era, communication was inconvenient, information was opaque, and transportation was even worse.
Should he take the matter to the city or province? Not just Chen Hai, but most people in the entire county probably didn't even entertain the thought.
If truth be told, people of that era generally settled matters privately with friends and relatives, finding it too troublesome to even call the police, and most were reluctant to do so.
