Chapter 632 Do you want to help him?
Ye Wanxi paused, then frowned and said, "Although it is true that every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor, and blood debts should be repaid in blood, his soul is already weak. If he is really attacked by blood energy, he may turn into a vengeful ghost."
"A vengeful ghost?" Cui Yingwen exclaimed in surprise. "If he becomes a vengeful ghost, will... will he harm innocent people?"
"That's possible. Generally, vengeful ghosts have no reason. They might start out seeking revenge, but once they become vengeful ghosts, they might lose control of their own lives. And once they harm the innocent, the nature of the situation changes."
Li Weiming and the others looked solemn and remained silent for a long time.
Ye Wanxi glanced at them as if she sensed something, and asked with a half-smile, "You want to help him?"
Li Weiming and the others remained silent.
"Then you have more to solve than just the problem of those two girls."
After saying this, Ye Wanxi ignored the confused and doubtful looks of most people and yawned sleepily: "Nothing else, I'll go back first. I have to get up early tomorrow."
Li Weiming has been paying close attention to Ye Wanxi lately, and naturally he has also heard the news that the two will be appearing on a variety show.
Hearing her say that, her eyes drifted ambiguously over the two of them, but she dared not keep them any longer.
After seeing Ye Wanxi and the other two off, Li Weiming and the others did not leave immediately. Seven or eight young people sat together in silence.
After a long pause, someone finally broke the silence.
"Don't just stand there, say something!"
"What should I say? I don't even know what to say right now?"
"Of course I'm talking about what just happened. What are your plans?"
Li Weiming scratched his head in frustration: "It's so annoying. The matter has been resolved, so why can't I be happy at all? This is it, this is it..."
“Me too. I’ve been living in fear these past few days, thinking every day about how to get rid of Mr. Lu and never see him again, but now that he’s really gone, I feel really stifled.”
"Don't be so ambiguous and misleading, okay? We can't stand seeing good people being wronged while bad people go unpunished. It's not like you're so attached to him. Wake up, humans and ghosts are different, you two can't be together."
"Get lost, you bastard! You know perfectly well that's not what I meant!"
Wen Jue glared at the group of people who were still arguing at this point, and said irritably, "Stop arguing and think about what to do next."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately fell silent. One person couldn't help but mutter, "What else can we do? Miss Ye isn't even concerned anymore. Wouldn't it be too much of a fuss if we continued to investigate and dig for the truth?"
This person's words were also a major concern for many people present.
They have warm hearts, but they inevitably lack the courage to take responsibility.
“I want to help him.” Cui Yingwen’s voice was particularly clear and striking at this moment.
He looked up to meet the surprised gazes of the crowd, his eyes, hidden behind his black-rimmed glasses, shining slightly with determination: "I'm going to help him!"
Everyone in the room was stunned by his words, and the room fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone looked at this big boy who had always been almost invisible among them, as if they were seeing him for the first time.
Wen Jue was the first to react, stretching out his long arm and pressing down on Ying Wen's shoulder: "Ying Wen, you seem to have changed a little."
"Yes, is there?"
"Yes! You never used to meddle in other people's business." Or rather, he never used to have the energy to meddle in other people's affairs.
But upon closer reflection, it seems perfectly reasonable.
Wen Jue and others initially came into contact with him because they couldn't stand some people in the school bullying the weak and taking advantage of the weak.
Cui Yingwen was one of the weak ones. Although Wen Jue and the others saved him, they did not initially intend to have much contact with him.
Later, they discovered that this seemingly weak and insignificant guy, who was clearly struggling to protect himself, would sometimes still be willing to protect people who were even weaker than him, even if he couldn't help at all and might end up injured himself.
Wen Jue and others began to change their opinion of him and gradually accepted him.
Some people might think he's foolish, but in their eyes, his foolishness is actually quite admirable.
Cui Yingwen was unaware of Wen Jue and the others' opinions of him. Hearing this, he gave an awkward smile and didn't know what to say.
Seeing this, Li Weiming reached out from the other side and put his arm around his shoulder as well: "You really want to help him?"
"Um!"
"Why? You've only met a few times, and you probably haven't even exchanged a few words. Why are you meddling in this?"
Cui Yingwen lowered his head slightly and after a long while said in a low voice, "Probably because I understand that feeling too well."
The frustration of knowing you've done nothing wrong, yet being forced by the world to bow your head and admit your mistake.
He was unwilling to accept it, yet he was utterly powerless.
He had hoped countless times that someone would stand up for him.
Even if the other person does nothing, just stands beside him and tells him that he did nothing wrong, that the fault lies with others and that it is unfair.
He was then confident that he could rise again from that murky mud, rather than sinking deeper and deeper.
Unfortunately, no.
Even if he later met friends who truly cared for him and deserved his sincerity in return, some wounds are not easy to heal.
He wanted to help Lu Zheyan not only because he couldn't stand seeing good people being wronged and slandered, but also because he wanted to help his past self.
"Since Ying Wen has said so, we'll meddle this time and act on behalf of Heaven!"
As soon as Li Weiming said this, he was immediately echoed by everyone.
It's not that they didn't want to get involved, it's just that they lacked a leader. Now that this person has appeared, they naturally stop worrying about it.
“Then it’s settled. First, we need to clear Mr. Lu’s name, uncover the truth, and resolve this matter at its root.”
"That's probably not easy. So much time has passed, the evidence may have already disappeared."
"It is precisely because it is difficult that we need to work together to do it. However, your concerns are not unreasonable."
Wen Jue paused for a moment, then asked, "Do you remember what Miss Ye just said?"
"What?"
“She said that if we wanted to help him, we would have to solve more than just the problems of those two girls.”
What does that mean?
"What I mean is that after this incident, there might be some people stirring things up. Usually, there are always some discordant voices under these kinds of news. Even if what those two girls said is true, there will definitely be some skeptical voices, not to mention that this matter itself is full of doubts."
"But the truth is that public opinion back then was one-sided, with everyone criticizing Mr. Lu. It was as if they couldn't wait to convict him, to put an end to the matter, and not give anyone any chance to refute it."
