Ye Linchen had just returned to his dormitory after lunch when he heard the dormitory supervisor's loud voice ring out in the hallway: "Ye Linchen, you have a phone call!"
Telephone?
Who would call her?
Ye Linchen had some doubts, but he quickly got up, jogged to the dormitory manager's office, and picked up the phone.
"Hello, this is Ye Linchen."
"Sister, it's me, Xiao Bei."
Ye Linbei's slightly anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Xiao Bei? What's wrong? What happened?" Ye Linchen asked hurriedly.
"Sister, I have something to tell you, Dad..."
Ye Linbei lowered his voice and spoke quickly, telling Ye Linchen everything about Xu Hongmei's conversation with Ye Zhenghua at the Ye family home, as well as Ye Zhenghua's acceptance of bribes from the Zhang family.
Ye Linchen countered with a question: "Did he really accept it?"
"That's right, we even helped him count them. They were all brand new ten-yuan bills, two thousand in total, exactly twenty thousand yuan."
"My dad went to the bank to deposit the money so it wouldn't be stolen."
Ye Linbei was afraid that Ye Linchen wouldn't believe him, so he explained in great detail.
Ye Linchen sighed deeply.
Ye Zhenghua is incredibly audacious; he'll take any kind of money, and he's not afraid of getting ripped off!
Didn't he ever consider that he would also suffer if things were exposed?
Fortunately, she had planted two "spies" in the Ye family; otherwise, she would have been completely kept in the dark by Ye Zhenghua.
"Thank you, Xiao Bei and Xiao Nan. I owe you all the help in keeping me informed," Ye Linchen said gratefully.
“Sister, we’re siblings, why are you being so polite with us?” Ye Linbei said immediately and heartily.
He paused, then sighed, "We also felt something was wrong with this. We didn't want Dad to make a mistake, so we told him not to accept money from unknown sources. But he was very happy and had already figured out how to spend the money. We really couldn't stop him, so we could only tell you this in the hope that it would be of some use."
“It’s useful, it’s definitely useful, Xiao Bei. Don’t worry, with you two taking the initiative to inform him, his situation won’t be too serious,” Ye Linchen comforted him. “You two continue to keep an eye on Ye Zhenghua’s movements and let me know immediately if anything happens.”
"Okay, sis," Ye Linbei replied obediently.
Ye Linchen spoke a few more words with Ye Linbei before hanging up the phone.
Although the twins ignored her in their past life, they didn't take advantage of or hurt her like the other members of the Ye family. In this life, they realized their mistakes in time, protected her in every way, and moved closer to her.
Her attitude towards the twins became much gentler and less harsh than before.
Ye Linchen returned to his dormitory, grabbed his books, and prepared to go to the library to study.
As soon as I stepped out of the alley in front of the building, I saw a strangely dressed woman walking towards me.
The man was wearing a large sun hat pulled low over his head, and huge sunglasses that almost completely covered his face.
Her clothes were also very loose, making it impossible to see her figure.
Ye Linchen glanced at her and immediately recognized her as Meng Xueyun.
Meng Xueyun came several times but couldn't find Ye Linchen. It seems she disguised herself to avoid being recognized by Ye Linchen's classmates.
Fortunately, Ye Linchen was so familiar with her that he could recognize her no matter how strangely she dressed.
Meng Xueyun also saw Ye Linchen, and immediately ran up to her, grabbed her hand, and excitedly shouted.
"Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen, Mom has finally found you! Mom begs you, please have mercy on Xiao Han, she can't go on living!"
Meng Xueyun's voice was hoarse and her expression was miserable, as if she had suffered a great injustice. She knelt down on the ground as she spoke.
Ye Linchen was annoyed and had completely lost patience with her.
She forcefully shook off Meng Xueyun's hand and looked at her coldly.
"Your information doesn't seem to be very accurate! The Zhang family is about to go to jail and can barely protect themselves, so how could they have the mind to care about Meng Zihan?"
"If Meng Zihan is truly innocent, she'll be released in a couple of days. But you and Ye Zhenghua are probably in deep trouble!"
"I advise you to hurry back and persuade Ye Zhenghua not to accept money from just anyone. Be careful, or you'll end up in jail and it will be too late to regret it!"
Meng Xueyun was stunned by Ye Linchen's words.
He lowered his head, lost in thought.
The Zhang family is going to be imprisoned; they can't even protect themselves.
What does this mean?
Did Ye Zhenghua take money?
What kind of money does he collect?
What exactly happened?
Meng Xueyun racked her brains for a long time, but she still couldn't figure it out.
She looked up, wanting to grab Ye Linchen and ask him for an explanation, but saw that Ye Linchen had already left quickly.
"Hey, Xiao Chen, wait for me..."
Meng Xueyun hurriedly stood up and chased after him for a couple of steps, only to find that she couldn't catch up at all.
She chased after him, shouting, "Xiao Chen, explain yourself before you go!"
Ye Linchen ignored her, quickened his pace, and disappeared into the dense bushes ahead in the blink of an eye.
"You brat, is a dog chasing you? Why are you running so fast!"
Meng Xueyun gritted her teeth and cursed, completely at a loss, spinning around in circles like a headless fly.
Forget it, I'd better go home and ask Ye Zhenghua for clarification. He can't run off to anywhere now!
Meng Xueyun ripped off her sunglasses and sun hat, boarded the bus, and hurried home.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw Ye Zhenghua sitting on the sofa, holding a teacup, leisurely watching TV.
Meng Xueyun exclaimed, "Old Ye, why are you at home instead of going to work!"
"What are you yelling for? You scared me." Ye Zhenghua turned to look at her and said unhappily, "What's the point of going to that stupid class? I took half a day off."
He's destined to be the deputy factory director; that lousy company can no longer accommodate such a big shot like him!
"I was just thinking of going to your workplace to look for you, thank goodness I came back."
Meng Xueyun threw her hat and glasses onto the shoe cabinet and shouted, "Something's happened! Something terrible has happened!"
Ye Zhenghua frowned: "What happened? Your good niece has gotten into trouble again? Is she so capable that even the police station can't hold her?"
Meng Xueyun, catching her breath, strode in and stood in front of Ye Zhenghua, blocking his view.
She said urgently, "It wasn't Xiaohan, it was us! I went to your daughter's school today, and guess what she said?"
"How so?"
She said we're going to jail!
"Go to jail? Go to jail for what?" Ye Zhenghua was completely confused by her words. "Did you hear me wrong? How did it come to us going to jail?"
Meng Xueyun anxiously explained, "Did you take money from someone? She told us to return the money immediately, or we'd be going to jail!"
"Bullshit! What does she know!" Ye Zhenghua scoffed dismissively upon hearing this. "Going to jail? That's getting more and more ridiculous!"
"It's true, she also said that something happened to the Zhang family and they're going to go to jail soon!"
"Nonsense! Zhang Tingting's mother came to see me at noon today to apologize, saying that her daughter had done wrong before, and to show her sincerity, she gave me 10,000 yuan as compensation!"
