Liu Mingxuan also got anxious, turned to Sun Xueyong, and retorted sarcastically.
"Don't you know whether you yourself went to the stadium to hand out flyers? Stop pretending to be innocent!"
Provoked by Liu Mingxuan, Sun Xueyong became so angry that the veins on his neck bulged, and he roared at him at the top of his lungs.
"You're talking nonsense! I... I don't have any authority to go to the printing room to print in bulk! Our school has rules that only the heads of each club can print club promotional leaflets. This kind of nonsense is not allowed at all! I only agreed to take a few photos for you today to use to threaten Ye Linchen."
The police officer frowned impatiently as he listened to them bickering and shirking responsibility.
He picked up the flyer that Ye Linchen had brought and laid it flat on the table.
“We will investigate the ink type, paper source, and printing font on the flyers to see which printing shop produced them. It’s not difficult to investigate this kind of thing. We can just ask each printing shop one by one. It will take at most two days to find out the truth.”
Liu Mingxuan looked at the flyer, immediately raised his head, and said firmly, "This is not a flyer we printed."
“I asked Sun Xueyong to print some flyers, but they were all in color, not black and white. We only printed a hundred copies. Sun Xueyong said to print a hundred copies first and distribute them to see the effect before deciding…”
Sun Xueyong immediately jumped up, refusing to take the blame at all.
He pointed at Liu Mingxuan and said, "Nonsense! Nonsense! You were the one who said, 'Take it and see how it works,' how did it become my saying? Don't drag me down with you!"
The police officer said coldly, "No matter who printed it, this is no small matter. Fabricating rumors, maliciously spreading them, and damaging the reputation of the person involved have caused an extremely bad influence on campus. This is no joke and you will be held legally responsible."
As he spoke, his sharp gaze fell on Liu Mingxuan, and his voice deepened: "Continue on, why did you do this kind of thing tonight?"
When Liu Mingxuan heard that he would be held legally responsible, he was terrified. When the police asked him this question, he immediately said, "I didn't intend to do it. Meng Zihan made me do it."
"Meng Zihan?" The police officer, not expecting another person to appear, stopped writing and asked, "Who is it?"
Liu Mingxuan said urgently, "She's Ye Linchen's cousin. She grew up in the Ye family and went to the same high school as Ye Linchen. She could never keep up with Ye Linchen in her studies and was always jealous of him, saying that Ye Linchen was a country bumpkin and didn't deserve everything he had now."
“Some time ago, she came to me and said she had a way to help me ‘get rid of’ Ye Linchen, on the condition that I had to follow her arrangements.”
"She came up with the idea for the flyers, and she arranged for the candid photography. Even today's events were told to me by her that the time was right."
"She said Ye Linchen would have a private tutor every night, and asked me to stake out the school gate and create some 'ambiguous scenes' so that others could see and take pictures. She also promised that if anything went wrong, she would cover for me."
As soon as he said that, Ye Linchen had a feeling that he had just expected it.
So this is what Meng Zihan meant by "a big gift"!
The police officer sat up straight, staring intently at Liu Mingxuan: "Tell us everything you know. We'll send someone to find her immediately."
It was past nine o'clock that night when it was completely dark.
The Ye family members were busy with their own things when they heard someone knocking on the door.
"Knock knock knock..."
"Is anyone home? We're from the police station."
Meng Xueyun was sitting on the sofa knitting a sweater when she heard a knock on the door. She paused, looked up, and stared at the door with a flustered expression.
"The police station? What are they doing here?"
Ye Zhenghua sat down next to her and frowned.
"Who are you looking for?" he asked loudly.
The message from outside was very direct: "We're looking for Meng Zihan. Please open the door and cooperate."
"They're looking for Xiaohan! What does the police station want with Xiaohan?"
Meng Xueyun's hands trembled so much that the knitting needles fell to the ground with a clattering sound.
"Go ask her, she'll definitely know," Ye Zhenghua said impatiently.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
This time it was heavier and more urgent than before, with a clear sense of urging.
Since he wasn't looking for Ye Zhenghua, he felt relieved and prepared to get up and open the door.
Meng Xueyun quickly got up and ran to Meng Zihan's room to tell her the news.
"Xiaohan, Xiaohan, the police are looking for you. What's wrong now?"
Meng Zihan was sitting at the table reading a magazine when she heard this, and she stopped turning the pages.
"They've come, just as I thought." She sneered inwardly.
In fact, she had anticipated this day would come from the moment Liu Mingxuan began to take action.
She knew Liu Mingxuan very well.
Lacking both courage and brains, they are more likely to cause trouble than achieve anything.
If something goes wrong, the first thing they'll do is shift the blame onto someone else.
And that other person must be Meng Zihan.
However, Meng Zihan never fights a battle she is not confident of winning, and she was prepared for this situation.
When she was giving Liu Mingxuan advice, she had already come up with a foolproof plan.
If Liu Mingxuan can successfully resolve the matter, Ye Linchen will definitely be dragged down in front of everyone, nailed to the pillar of shame, his reputation ruined, and he will never recover.
And she can finally put all the stumbling blocks under her feet.
If Liu Mingxuan fails, it will have no impact on her.
She never left Liu Mingxuan any evidence that could point to her, and all the blame will fall on Liu Mingxuan himself.
It's just a chess piece; whether it reaches the end or not is completely unimportant.
