âWhere are you two now?â
âOn the street.â
âOn the street?â
âDuring dinner, that pervert forced Yaoyao to drink two glasses of wine. Before he left, Yaoyao was a little confused, so he took the opportunity to take advantage of her. I did as you said and kicked him in the crotch before running away with Yaoyao.â
âHowâs she doing?â
âSheâs alright. Sheâs doing much better now. Itâs not a big problem.â
âThe two of you take a taxi to the Peninsula Hotel. Bring up my name and book a suite at the front desk. Iâll look for you tomorrow.â
âAh? Peninsula Hotel? Iâve seen it on TikTok. It seems to be a five-star hotel.
We canât afford it.â
âThatâs my property. Feel free to stay there.â
âOh my god, Brother Lin is awesome!â
âGo. Iâll take care of this for you.â
âThank you, Brother Lin.â
After making arrangements for Du Yao and Fang Fei, Lin Yi hung up.
âWhat happened?â Ji Qingyan asked.
âBrother Haiâs daughter encountered a hooligan during the postgraduate interview. Fortunately, nothing major happened. Iâve arranged for her to temporarily stay at a hotel.â
Although Ji Qingyan didnât go to Happiness Village often, Lin Yi would often tell her about it. Thus, the moment Lin Yi mentioned someoneâs name, she would probably know who it was.
âWe have to call the police! We canât let this go!â
As a woman herself, Ji Qingyan absolutely detested such matters!
âIf we call the police, wonât the teachers at the university all get into trouble? Remember, Iâm an honorary vice-principal. I canât slap my own face,â Lin Yi said.
âBesides, itâs probably useless to call the police over this matter. Without substantial evidence, there wonât be any conclusion. I might as well deal with it myself.â
âI feel that if you handle it personally, it will definitely be more effective than going through official channels.â
âYou know me best.â
After the meal, the two of them lingered for a while before going to rest.
However, Lin Yi had been looking forward to the outcome of the matter in Yanjing.
The next morning, Lin Yi drove to the Peninsula Hotel to look for Du Yao and Fang Fei.
âHow was your sleep last night?â Lin Yi asked with a smile.
âIt was great!â Fang Fei said. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âBrother Lin, youâre really impressive. You actually have such a big hotel. Your annual income should be at least tens of millions.â
âItâs all small money,â Lin Yi looked at Du Yao and said.
âHow are you? He didnât traumatize you, did he?â
âBrother Lin, I donât want to take the postgraduate entrance examination anymore. Just thinking about what happened last night is scary.â
âDonât be afraid of a rope ten years after being bitten by a snake. Scum like that represent a tiny minority of educators,â Lin Yi said.
âYou still have to go to school. In todayâs society, the higher your education level, the greater potential your future will have. Otherwise, you wonât be able to survive in the big city.â
âBrother Lin is right.â Fang Fei nodded, agreeing with Lin Yiâs words. âBrother Lin, youâre so rich, are you from Tsinghua University or Yan University?â
âUh⦠none of them?â
âDid Hallard or BIT?â
âUniversity of Penntania.â
There were many well-known alumni of the University of Penntania online.
âThat is a famous school!â Fang Fei was surprised. âNo wonder you could earn so much money. Knowledge really changes fate.â
Ring, ring, ring!
Halfway through her sentence, Fang Feiâs phone rang.
âHello.â
âAre you Fang Fei?â
â1 am.â
âLet me introduce myself first. Iâm from the Fuqian Road Police Station. Last night, you beat up a person called Ding Yiwei at the entrance of the Junyue Hot Pot Restaurant in Fuqian Road. You should remember, right?â
Fang Fei instantly understood what was going on.
âYes, I remember.â
âWe have received a report from the victim. Now, please come to our police station for an investigation.
âHe was the one who acted like a hooligan. We were just defending ourselves. Why should I go to the police station?!â Fang Fei argued.
âHe came to our station to make a report. According to the rules, you need to come over as well. These are the rules.â
âGot it.â
With that, the other party hung up the phone. Fang Feiâs expression was also very ugly.
As the saying went, the people did not fight with the officials. She also knew that no matter how upset she was, she could not refuse.
She had lived for more than 20 years, but this was the first time he had encountered such a thing.
âWhat happened?â Du Yao asked.
âDamn it!â Fang Fei was so angry that she threw her phone onto the bed. âHe was clearly the one who acted like a hooligan. I just kicked him, but he actually reported me instead. Is there any justice in this world?!â
âLook, this is the power of knowledge.â Lin Yi said.
âAlthough youâre the ones at a disadvantage, he used his knowledge and experience to report you. Youâve never seen such a despicable operation, right?â
Lin Yi felt that this matter was quite interesting. He didnât want to call the police at first, but he didnât expect that scumbag to take the initiative to make a move first.
âI guess thereâs nothing we can do.â
âIndeed, Iâve never seen anything like it before. Iâve really learned something today.â
âBrother Lin, this isnât the time to joke around. Weâre the defendants now. If we go to the police station, will something happen?â
âWhat are you panicking for? Weâll deal with whatever comes our way. The two of you pack your things first, then Iâll bring you over.â
âThank you, Brother Lin.â
With Lin Yi around, the two of them felt much more at ease. They put on their clothes, ate some food, and took a taxi to the police station in Fuqian Road.
When the three of them arrived, Ding Yiwei was also there.
Ding Yiweiâs appearance was very ordinary. He was in his forties and had a 70-30 comb-over. He wore a pair of black-framed glasses and had the typical appearance of a scholar.
âOfficer, sheâs the one who kicked me yesterday. Iâve already gone to the hospital for a checkup. They confirmed it to be a light injury. What do you think we should do about this?â Ding Yiwei pointed at Fang Fei.
âBullsh*t. If it werenât for you acting like a hooligan, I wouldnât have kicked you. How can you have the cheek to complain first? Youâre really a scumbag!â âDonât try to frame me, or Iâll report you for slandering me!â Ding Yiwei said.
âShe was the one who had too much to drink. I just wanted to help her up, but you accused me of being a hooligan. Youâre really good at making things up.â
âAlright, alright, stop arguing.â The police officer said,
âTell us what happened first so that we can mediate and punish the perpetrator accordingly.â
âComrade, itâs like this. Iâm a postgraduate professor at Zhonghai Normal Universityâs International Relations Institute. The two of them are postgraduate students who participated in the interview yesterday, but because their results werenât ideal, they were afraid that they wouldnât be able to get in, so they invited me out for a meal.â
As he spoke, Ding Yiwei looked at Du Yao. âIâm guessing she did this on purpose. She wanted to trick me into accepting her as a graduate student, but she flew into a rage out of humiliation when I didnât agree.â
âBullsh*t!â Fang Fei put her hands on her waist and said.
âYou were the one who called Yaoyao and invited her out. Why donât you take a look at yourself? Why would we even need to try to set you up?â
The police at the police station were somewhat vexed as both parties had their own arguments and it was difficult to determine the truth immediately. They decided to review the surveillance footage to make a fair judgment.
âAlright, you guys can go back first. Weâll investigate this further. If youâre unwilling to settle privately, you have to be present when we call later.â
âAlright, weâll definitely cooperate. We definitely wonât let this beast in human clothing off easily!â
Ding Yiwei smiled. This was exactly the outcome he wanted. After this, he could easily settle this matter with his connections.
They had no chance of fighting with him!
After the mediation was over, the two groups left separately. Ding Yiwei looked at Lin Yi and the others.
âYou donât know whatâs good for you. Iâll say this today.. Donât even think about passing the postgraduate interview!â
