Chapter 237: 229 The Group's Favorite: Ying Zijin【2 More Updates】

Because no one believed that Wen Tinglan was from Norton University, netizens just took a quick tour of Norton University’s Weibo account and left.

Only a few very idle netizens stayed on the lookout.

What if Norton University replied, too?

And indeed, they did witness a response.

But Norton University was so trending that after they posted a Weibo, other netizens who had left immediately returned upon hearing the news.

When they saw Norton University’s statement, they were all somewhat dumbfounded.

Especially Fang Ruotong’s fans and some keyboard warriors, they were so slapped by this Weibo post that they couldn’t regain their senses.

Wen Tinglan was really a student at Norton University?!

Moreover, Norton University said that it was Fang Ruotong who forced Wen Tinglan to donate bone marrow?

It took a while for netizens to recover from the shock of that line of text, but then they discovered that under that Weibo post from Norton University, there was a video and an audio file attached.

The video was of a KTV.

It fully recorded how Fang Ruotong coerced and bribed Wen Tinglan from the moment he entered the KTV, threatening his family’s safety.

ℕ○νG○.ϲ○

In the end, the video stopped as a hidden passage opened, and Fang Ruotong had two bodyguards escort Wen Tinglan away.

The audio file recorded Fang Ruotong’s voice as well.

Four sentences in total.

“It’s just a bone marrow donation, right? It’s not like I’m asking for your kidney. Is it really necessary to react this way?”

“The results of our compatibility test will be out in a bit. All you need to do is sign this consent form, and I won’t allow my dad to touch your family.”

“Of course, if you don’t sign, I have ways to make you sign, but then, your loss would be significant.”

“You might as well consider whether your sister and father can withstand the Fang Family.”

These two files blew up on Weibo in an instant.

[I nearly threw up my dinner from last night. Using someone’s family to force them to donate bone marrow? And then acting like it’s no big deal?]

[It’s too disgusting, TOO disgusting. And this person claims to be an inspirational broadcaster?]

[Fang Ruotong, the eldest daughter of Ningchuan’s number one Fang Family, I thought she was just spoiled, but she’s ruthless too. I’ll say it plainly, although it’s unpleasant: you deserve to have leukemia. How can you do this to a 16-year-old boy? When are you going to die?]

Fang Ruotong’s fans were even more shocked into silence.

Just before, they were condemning Wen Tinglan on behalf of Fang Ruotong, but now the situation had reversed.

They all watched Fang Ruotong’s live streams; how could they not recognize the voice in the audio?

The fans, no matter how foolish, knew that their goodwill had been used as a shield, and they began to unfollow and step back.

In just about ten minutes’ time, the direction of sentiments on Weibo had completely changed.

Fang Ruotong had just happened to finish taking her medicine and came back.

Seeing her message notifications filled with many red dots, she thought many people were comforting her, helping her curse Wen Tinglan, and felt very pleased.

But when she clicked in, the originally pale-faced girl turned even paler in an instant.

Fang Ruotong could hardly believe what she was seeing. She kept refreshing her messages, and her eyes became bloodshot.

A few minutes later, she violently smashed her phone against the wall and ran out.

Fang Zhicheng and Madam Fang were still in the living room since they couldn’t go out either.

“Dad, Mom…” Fang Ruotong couldn’t help bursting into tears, “I’ve messed up again, I really messed up!”

“What happened, what happened?” Madam Fang hurried to embrace her, “Tongtong, don’t cry, tell mom what happened?”

“Norton University!” Fang Ruotong’s voice carried a tone of fear, “Wen Tinglan, he really is a student at Norton University!”

She collapsed, “Norton University released evidence, and now everyone knows I forced him to donate bone marrow! They are all cursing me.”

How could a 19-year-old girl bear such abuse?

Fang Zhicheng’s hand trembled, and he said in a shaking voice, “What?!”

“Oh, this is serious,” someone walked in. It was the young investigator, who had also downloaded a Weibo app and glanced at it, “You’ve really outdone yourselves, stirred up another hornet’s nest?”

Internationally, there are three universally acknowledged places you do not provoke.

The first, the peacekeeping International Bureau of Investigation (IBI).

The second, the Lorentz Family controlling the global economic lifelines.

The third, the world’s number one university, Norton University.

And just like that, the Fang Family had managed to provoke two of them.

“This is bad, really bad,” the young investigator applauded in amazement, “Norton University really defends its own. Be careful, because if you touch their students, they are truly capable of sending people to hunt you down.”

Norton University was famously protective.

Once, there was an IBI investigator who had graduated from Norton University.

And this investigator was unfortunately killed by an international criminal while on a mission in Antarctica.

The moment Norton University received the news, they immediately dispatched students from the action department across several continents, captured the international criminal, and personally delivered him to IBI.

Therefore, the outside world is completely unaware that Norton University isn’t just number one in academia, but also alarmingly high in comprehensive martial power.

The young investigator could assert that Norton University’s dean and those high-ranking officials were definitely renowned names on the NOK forum rankings.

Even the students from the SS-level academy were a group of combat-power crazy fighters.

Fang Zhicheng simply couldn’t understand what the young investigator was saying; a buzzing sound filled his ears.

On one side, Fang Ruotong was crying her heart out.

Madam Fang’s body was trembling too.

“Ah, forget it, you ignorant ones, it’s understandable if you don’t know,” the young investigator shrugged and smiled amicably, “Fang Zhicheng, it’s your turn, let’s go.”@@novelbin@@

Two days later, Ying Zijin took Wen Tinglan to the airport.

Norton University had arranged for a professor from the Mechanical Department to send a private plane to ensure Wen Tinglan’s safety.

This way, there was no need to change planes or take the subway.

The professor from the Mechanical Department who was responsible for Wen Tinglan stepped forward and shook Wen Fengmian’s hand: “Thank you for nurturing a genius.”

“Don’t worry, the school has specially assigned him a corresponding psychological mentor. If any problem resurfaces, we will contact you immediately.”

Wen Fengmian’s main concern was precisely this.

Hearing what the professor said, he finally rested assured.

“Yuyu, take good care of yourself over there,” Wen Fengmian advised the young man, “Don’t worry about dad, dad has survived all these years.”

Wen Tinglan pressed his lips together, nodded, and said, “Dad, I will return as quickly as possible.”

Wen Fengmian smiled slightly, “Dad will be waiting for you.”

With a roar, the airplane took off, soaring into the clouds, and soon disappeared from sight.

Ying Zijin looked up at the sky and stood for a while longer before she left.

She first dropped Wen Fengmian off at home, then went downstairs.

The Maserati was parked downstairs.

Once she got into the passenger seat, Fu Yunshen turned his head and asked, “Did Elder Mu already give you the invitation for the ball later?”

“Yeah,” Ying Zijin narrowed her eyes and yawned, “Sly fox.”

Mu Heqing managed to lead the Mu family to its current status not just through sheer audacity, but also with considerable cunning.

Fu Yunshen’s eyebrows went up, his lips curving into a smile: “Come on, kid, let’s go try on the evening gown.”

The place to try on the gown was at the headquarters of Century Mall, and it was on the top floor.

Summer in Shanghai City is too hot, and even with air conditioning, it can be quite stuffy.

Ying Zijin thought it over for a while and reluctantly chose a black dress.

After trying it on, she found that the cut quite suited her tastes. She pondered, “This one will do, I’ll change into it over there.”

“Wait a moment,” Fu Yunshen observed, “The zipper is caught on your hair.”

He bent down, hooked his finger on the zipper pull, and slowly drew it down a bit, freed her hair, and then zipped it back up for her.

Ying Zijin could clearly feel a light breath brushing against the skin of her neck, leaving a trace of warmth behind.

Her surroundings were filled with the scent of jade and agarwood emanating from him.

She lowered her gaze.

“All set,” Fu Yunshen took a step back, his slightly tensed body finally relaxing.

Ying Zijin went back into the changing room to change out of the gown, then took the bag and went downstairs.

The ball was taking place at the Queen Hotel; Century Mall wasn’t far from there, just a ten-minute drive.

After the Maserati parked again, Ying Zijin unbuckled her seatbelt.

“Yaoyao, I’ll go park,” said Fu Yunshen as he handed her a jewelry box, “you head in first.”

Ying Zijin nodded in agreement and got out of the car.

It was five o’clock now.

There weren’t many people who had arrived yet.

So she took the opportunity to book a room at the Queen Hotel, in case she needed to rest or sleep later.

Ying Zijin raised the brim of her cap and ascended the steps.

Although the guests for the ball had not yet arrived, the waiters were already prepared.

The ball today was a gathering of wealthy families and noble guests from the Imperial City, so there could be no neglect.

Mu Chenzhou had arrived early and was chatting with a few young men.

His gaze inadvertently swept over and caught sight of the girl outside the hotel.

She was dressed in casual wear and wore a baseball cap.

Her long hair cascaded down, dancing in the wind at her shoulders and waist.

Without any deliberate embellishment, she still made everyone else seem like mere backdrops.

Mu Chenzhou was briefly startled, then his brows lightly furrowed.

The ball, on the surface, was attended only by the wealthy nobility from Shanghai City and nearby cities.

But in reality, it was organized by the Imperial City.

The Mu family was also among them.

So the guests naturally comprised socialites and young nobles.

Even smaller families did not have the qualifications to enter this ball, let alone a foster daughter who had left the Ying Family?

“You.” Mu Chenzhou stopped looking at the girl and waved his hand indifferently, speaking to a waiter, “Tell her, she can’t come in here.”
