Chapter 63 - Verification
Chapter 63 - Verification
After sending Lin Shengjia home, Duan Yunhong took Ning Fei out for a "dinner for two".
Duan Yunhong originally ordered an elegant Western meal, but Ning Fei suddenly said he wanted to have a barbecue, and refused to order a place where the waiter would help with the barbecue. He said that since Duan Yunhong's "nephew" was causing trouble for him, Duan Yunhong would compensate him by "baking it himself".
Duan Yunhong’s last message was “It’s a nice thought”, but in fact he still asked someone to change the dinner location. What else can I do? The car has already arrived at the school gate to pick people up, are they going to kick Ning Fei out of the car and leave him out in the cold? It’s not that Duan Yunhong doesn’t dare to do it once, but if he really does it, he can’t imagine how Ning Fei will play a prank on him next time. He didn't want to suffer this headache in vain.
So, dinner was changed from the brightly lit Western restaurant to a barbecue restaurant with a strong smell of fireworks. Nowadays, the best barbecue is on the roadside, or at most in a store with an open door. The place was bustling with people, of all kinds. There are no private rooms and no air conditioning. When Duan Yunhong's secretary reported it reluctantly, he thought Duan Yunhong would be upset, but in fact, Mr. Duan agreed calmly.
Although he now enjoys a life of luxury and leisure in various worlds, he has also suffered a lot. It's really nothing to just grill meat for others in a noisy open-air barbecue restaurant.
Ning Fei was sitting opposite, watching the man with his shirt sleeves rolled up to his arms grilling for her. After admiring it for a while, he still wanted to ask Duan Yunhong: "You have driven to the school gate consciously, why don't you go in and show off your wealth and power. Pull us out?"
Although there are a lot of people around here, the ambient noise is too loud, so there is basically no need to worry about being eavesdropped.
"Isn't it because I'm afraid of disturbing your plans to show off?" Duan Yunhong glanced at him, his cold tone forming a huge contrast with the fiery barbecue, "It's just a small scene of slandering cheating, and there's no need to use knives or guns. Is there anything you can't control?"
On the way here, Ning Fei had already told Duan Yunhong the whole story of why the school had come to look for him. Duan Yunhong was not surprised by Ning Fei's behavior. He could only say that it was much gentler than he had expected. After all, Ning Fei still solved the problem within the rules of this world and school. At most he just said a few foul words, which was really nothing.
"I have to take care of everything, so what can you do for me? Help me with food, clothing, shelter and transportation?" Ning Fei looked at the oven and quietly moved away from the downwind, "I don't need a life assistant."
Duan Yunhong turned the skewers and replied, "Then what do you want me to do? In my current position, once I start to act, Lin Shengjia will most likely be recognized as a member of the Ji family. Are you sure you want me to act?"
"You can deny it." Ning Fei smiled gently, "But isn't it good to use this matter to intimidate Ji Xingzhe?"
"..." Duan Yunhong paused grilling and looked at Ning Fei.
Ning Fei raised his chin and said, "Don't just stand there, sprinkle the seasoning."
"I knew you wouldn't really use the methods of an ordinary teacher to deal with Ji Xingzhe." Duan Yunhong raised his eyebrows and replied, "You want to intimidate him so that he can't act rashly? But if I use my true identity to intimidate him, what's the point of just asking him not to mess with Lin Shengjia? Shouldn't I be planning more?"
"I don't care whether it's reasonable or not." Ning Fei said, "Boss Duan, I just asked you to help me keep an eye on that bastard Ji Xingzhe. Is it so difficult for you? I didn't ask you to complete the main goal."
"Since you don't want to be bothered by him, why don't you help Lin Shengjia transfer to another school?" Duan Yunhong handed the grilled skewers to Ning Fei. "Anyway, Lin Shengjia's goal didn't say he couldn't transfer, right? Maybe he can study more peacefully in another school."
"Ha, with this level of harassment, you want me and my men to run away with our tails between our legs? Do you think that's possible?" Ning Fei sneered and took a bite of the kebab, "Hmm... delicious, you actually have some cooking skills, I underestimated you.
"Let's get back to the point. If Lin Shengjia transfers to another school because of something like this, even if he is innocent, he will become innocent. There is no way he can leave. Besides, if he stays, he can use Ji Xingzhe's anxiety as a diversion during the boring teaching, which is also quite interesting."
"Just keep an eye on him, are you sure?" Duan Yunhong continued to put the skewers on the paper plate next to him, and said, "There are many people around him who have been fooled by his pretending to be innocent, and they are all actively serving him - including the Ji family. If Lin Shengjia is left hanging in front of him all day, he will definitely find ways to use all available means to 'deal with' this hidden danger. By then, it will not be as simple as just guarding against him as a minor."
"You want me to tell you?" Ning Fei finished one string of bread and took another. "This time, the report should have been done by Ji Xingzhe who instigated the gang around him. It was definitely not him. After he instigated them, he acted innocent in front of me and said that I didn't need to go to make up lessons for the time being. He didn't dare to tell me the reason."
At this point, Ning Fei gulped down two sips of beer, and reminded Duan Yunhong to eat as well, before continuing, "I have a guess. Since he himself didn't show up to report it, maybe he didn't let the Ji family know about it. After all, he didn't dare to take the risk of letting the Ji family pay attention to Lin Shengjia. So the so-called 'suspension of tutoring' should not be because the Ji family also thinks that I participated in cheating, so they don't let me go. It's that Ji Xingzhe lied to both sides, telling me that the Ji family would not look for me, and then telling the Ji family that I had something wrong and didn't want to go. He just wanted to strike down both me and Lin Shengjia, because I am now also considered Lin Shengjia's 'helper'."
Duan Yunhong finished the skewers in his hand and continued to put new skewers on the grill. This time he also put some grilled leeks and other ingredients: "If you want to verify this, it's very simple."
"Um?"
"Why don't you go to the Ji family and ask them yourself and you'll know." Duan Yunhong said coldly, "It would be best if you ask them in front of him, so that they will be curious about what happened."
"Pfft, let the Ji family know about Lin Shengjia's existence? Ji Xingzhe will be scared to death. You are indeed a ruthless person." Ning Fei said happily, "Okay, then let's go on Sunday morning. It just so happens that that day was the day I was supposed to go to make-up classes, but he asked me not to go. I still showed up at Ji's house. His expression must be very interesting."
Duan Yunhong did not comment, but just commented on his bad taste: "Is it worth it for you to be so happy to attack a young boy?"
"Just for fun. He is young, but his mind is beyond his peers, complicated and selfish. His biggest problem is not lying, but being too self-righteous. He dares to use the people around him to deal with Lin Shengjia and me. Doesn't he think everything is under his control?" Ning Fei said, "This kind of ignorant kid is the most fun to mess with. Give him a little hope and he will grab it at all costs, even if it means dragging the people around him down. Anyway, the Ji family and his group of friends are like birds of a feather, so it doesn't matter if they are implicated by him."
Duan Yunhong paused and said, "You are not still seeking revenge for the original owner, are you?"
"You're wrong. There is no such task." Ning Fei sprinkled the seasoning on the roasted leeks and handed the leeks to Duan Yunhong. "It's fine if he doesn't bother me, but if he bothers me, then I just want to see him get into trouble. Is that not okay?"
Duan Yunhong was caught off guard and ate half a skewer of grilled leeks in one gulp: "...It's too salty and too spicy. If you don't know how to cook it, don't touch it!"
"Hahahaha..." Ning Fei laughed even more. "Eat it, Mr. Duan. Leeks are very good for you!"
***
On Sunday morning, Duan Yunhong took Ning Fei to Ji's house as promised.
But nominally he was not brought there specifically. Duan Yunhong told the Ji family that he would come to the eldest brother's house to talk to him about something before going to do business. As for Ning Fei, he said that was the translator he brought with him when he went to do some work.
Then Duan Yunhong went upstairs to find Ji Zhenwei, who was his nominal "brother" and Ji Xingzhe's nominal "father". Ning Fei was waiting for him on the first floor. Duan Yunhong would bring him downstairs and the "show would begin".
——It’s quite interesting to think about it. Ji Zhenwei’s brother is not a brother, and his son is not a son. What a humorous life…
"Teacher Ning?!"
Ji Xingzhe came out of the game room on the first floor and wanted to get some drinks. When he passed by the living room, he glanced past it and didn't pay attention. When he reacted and took a second look, he finally realized something was wrong - why was the person sitting on the sofa Ning Fei, who shouldn't be there? !
"Didn't I say there would be no make-up classes today?" Ji Xingzhe walked quickly towards Ning Fei, "Why are you here anyway?"
"What's wrong?" Zhu Yueting also appeared in the living room. When she saw Ning Fei, she also reacted, "Ah? Why are you here!"
Ning Fei was still holding the welcome tea poured by his aunt, sitting on the sofa calmly: "Why can't I be here?"
"But didn't the Ji family want you to take extra classes?" Zhu Yueting said bluntly, "Are you trying to ask Xiaozhe's parents to continue taking your classes? You did something like that!"
This little girl was used to being spoiled. When she liked Ning Fei before, she was very quick to get along with him, but now that they were "united against a common enemy", she turned hostile without mercy. Since Ji Xingzhe had her as a "gun", he was naturally happy to pretend to be a conflicted "mute" beside him.
But at this moment Ji Zhenwei hadn't come down yet, so Ning Fei teased the kid and pretended to be puzzled, "What did I do?"
"You've already been contacted by the vice-president, and you still want to pretend that nothing happened?" Zhu Yueting said unhappily, "Everyone knows that you helped Lin Shengjia cheat!"
"'Everyone'?" Ning Fei saw that she was easy to fool, so he asked her casually, "Who do you mean by 'everyone'? I just talked to the vice-president, and the vice-president said that the content of the conversation must be kept confidential. How come you and the so-called 'everyone' started spreading rumors here? Could it be that you..."
“Obviously…!”
"Teacher Ning, you don't have to worry about how we know. You may not know since you just came to school, but students like us are naturally more informed." Ji Xingzhe felt that Zhu Yueting was about to let it slip, and finally spoke up to stop her, "Since it has come to this, I will explain it clearly. I told you not to come because I was concerned about my face and because I really admired you before, so I didn't explain the reason clearly. In fact, it is because you are involved in Lin Shengjia's cheating that you are not welcome in my family."
Ning Fei didn't get angry at all when he heard them distorting right and wrong in just a few words. He just thought it was ridiculous. So he laughed and said, "The school hasn't even made a decision yet, and you're saying you heard the news and are convicting me with such certainty? It's not good for kids to lie."
Zhu Yueting couldn't help but said angrily: "Who is lying? Do you have any shame?"
"Yeah, who is lying?" Ning Fei's eyes moved from her face to Ji Xingzhe's face, "Who is it that doesn't allow me to come to make up lessons? Ji Xingzhe, you are not lying, are you?"
"What do you mean by lying or not lying?" Another strange voice joined the conversation. The three of them looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall young man standing at the stairs on the second floor, looking down at them.
It was Ji Zhenwei’s eldest son, Ji Yuechi, who was already a senior student. He saw Ning Fei and Ji Xingzhe and asked in confusion: "Xiaozhe, shouldn't you be in English class? What are you doing in the living room with the teacher?"
Finally, someone has arrived who deserves to watch the show. Ning Fei smiled slightly and stood up.
"You've come just in time. I was just about to ask, Ji Xingzhe said that the Ji family didn't allow me to come for tutoring, and he was playing with other classmates this morning. Was this really decided by the parents?"
