Chapter 157
Captain Li looked at the man sitting opposite him with a cold and dissatisfied look on his face, and for a moment he didn't know how things had come to this point.
He just received a call from the police, and he happened to be on duty today, so he took people over. And the person on the call claimed that there were two adult men committing fraud, and the victims were also adult men.
So he also brought his apprentice and two other adult male police officers with him to prevent the situation from getting out of control.
However, when he took control of the situation with a serious face, the scene that greeted him was not what we are describing today.
——But it’s “The Legend of XX”.
The two men who were said to have committed the fraud had a sad aura about them the moment they saw them. They looked innocent and pitiful.
Even the tone of his voice carried a hint of grievance, sounding quite pathetic.
At least Captain Li didn't feel embarrassed when he heard it, but he couldn't stand it either. He always felt that he had become a villain.
And the actions of those two men - oh no, one of them was a teenager, did more than that.
After learning that someone had called the police and reported them to be committing fraud, he spoke directly to the victim who was sitting on the sofa in the suite without saying a word.
His tone was full of instructions for him to take care of himself. If you didn't know better, you would think it was a farewell between life and death.
He was quite stiff when they first entered, but judging by the look on his face, he quickly softened.
——Especially when he learned that the person who called the police this time was his father-in-law.
So there was the classic scene before.
This also caused them to suddenly become villains.
Fortunately, although these people's tone was not very good and they sounded quite angry, they did not vent their anger on others and let them sit down.
Captain Li even heard his apprentice exclaiming that the sofa in the presidential suite was so comfortable.
After finally glaring at him for such a useless idea, I heard a voice.
"...So, Captain Li, you're just here to mediate today?"
The man said as he sat on the sofa, his back straight, with the air of a superior and a somewhat cold expression.
Captain Li on the opposite side also nodded subconsciously, and then realized that Mr. Ye on the opposite side could not see, so he quickly spoke.
"We're just here to understand the situation. After all, we can't make conclusions based on what others say."
Mr. Ye frowned and said, "But if they're just here to understand the situation, why are there four people? This doesn't conform to the rules, Captain Li, and besides..."
Mr. Ye's tone couldn't help but become a little harsh as he spoke: "You scared my friend."
Mr. Ye paused in the middle of his speech, as if he had been thinking for a long time before he came up with this word.
The two men sitting next to Mr. Ye showed some aggrieved expressions on their faces after hearing this word, and their hands holding Mr. Ye's couldn't help but interlock their fingers.
Yes, fingers intertwined.
Captain Li didn't know how Mr. Ye dared to say such righteous words while holding hands with these two people.
But he still had to say with embarrassment:
"...This is actually necessary. After all, the police received a call stating that two adult men had committed a fraud against you. We are also concerned about your safety. Please understand."
Captain Li's tone was quite gentle, not too aggressive, so the people present nodded. After Captain Li breathed a sigh of relief, he began to ask what was going on and signaled his apprentice to take a police report.
——And his apprentice sat down next to him with shining eyes.
The work smell on his body disappeared, and he looked much more energetic.
Captain Li looked at his apprentice, eager to get him to behave himself. Didn't he see the men across from him start looking a bit hostile? Fortunately, Mr. Ye, who was in charge of the overall situation, couldn't see it and naturally didn't know their expressions. He simply calmly began to explain the whole story.
But his straightforward way of speaking attracted everyone present. It was not because his words were so attractive, but because the plot was really too exciting.
Some capitalist forced the young president to marry his uneducated son, and the president had no choice but to agree after weighing the pros and cons.
She hadn't seen her husband for half a year after marriage, and after he became blind, she was kicked out of the company and served with a divorce agreement.
The next day after she became blind, she met her husband whom she hadn't seen for half a year before her marriage, but after a few days she found out that he was an imposter.
"...Uh, with all due respect, Mr. Ye, why didn't you choose to call the police at that time?"
Captain Li couldn't help asking, while Mr. Ye opposite him said calmly:
"He's after me, and I'm after him. It's a simple thing."
Captain Li watched as the two men beside Ye Wangxing showed delighted expressions on their faces.
The police officers around him showed expressions as if they had learned something new.
"...Besides, I had absolutely no one to help me at the time, and I was blind myself. I did feel somewhat dependent on him. After all, during those months, he was the only one who stayed with me for more than eight hours a day."
When Captain Li heard Mr. Ye say this, his voice remained calm, but his expression was a little depressed, and even there was some pain in his hollow eyes.
The two men who had been pretending to be green tea beside him showed expressions of heartache and anger.
——Of course it wasn't directed at them, but who exactly was it directed at? It's hard to guess.
Captain Li thought expressionlessly as he ended this somewhat baffling police call.
The only thing they were thankful for was that they did not receive any complaints. Mr. Ye even said to them:
"I know it's not your fault this time. I lost control of my emotions just now. I'm sorry."
God knows how tears filled Captain Li's eyes when he heard such a rational voice after encountering an old man who hit him on the head with a cane and an old woman who spit on his face.
Then he watched Ye Wangxing turn on his cell phone and dial a very familiar number.
"Hello, is this 110? Yes, I want to call the police."
Just as Captain Li was looking at Ye Wangxing in disbelief, suspecting that Ye Wangxing was going to break up with the Gu family he had married into, he heard Ye Wangxing's next words.
"—I need to report Gu Tianci for absconding with funds and tax evasion. I've prepared the report materials and a series of evidence to prove that he's already at the airport. I'm married to Gu Tianci, and I'll provide my marriage certificate to Captain Li. I hope you can intercept him in time."
Captain Li watched as Mr. Ye fluently provided the ID numbers, names, and contact information of the three members of the Gu family.
He also handed the case report to him.
But the most incredible thing was not this, but that other colleagues actually intercepted the Gu family after rushing to the airport - and they were about to board the plane, and the timing was just right.
In the blink of an eye, they took a large amount of assets from China and went abroad to enjoy themselves.
After receiving the call from his colleague, Captain Li sat on the sofa in the presidential suite and looked at Mr. Ye opposite him, who was still leisurely, with an incredible look on his face, and couldn't help asking.
"...Mr. Ye, how did you know they would flee abroad?"
Ye Wangxing responded to Captain Li in a calm tone:
"I knew it from the moment I met you."
"See me?" Captain Li said doubtfully.
"The three of them have always believed in keeping dirty laundry private. If it weren't for a desperate situation, they wouldn't have spread the story of their daughter-in-law everywhere. They even wanted to use it to threaten me and the other two in order to gain greater benefits."
"So when they dared to call the police about this, it showed they were definitely prepared to fight to the bitter end. Combined with the Gu family's recent transfer of company assets and sale of shares, it's clear what they were planning."
Captain Li immediately showed an expression of amazement on his face. It was indeed not easy for such a highly intelligent elite to plot against them in front of them.
Captain Li turned to look at his apprentice beside him, and his face immediately showed an expression of disappointment. He would be thankful if his stupid apprentice could learn half as well as others.
Just as Captain Li and his apprentice were staring at each other, Mr. Ye opposite him checked his phone through smart glasses and suddenly spoke again.
"By the way, Captain Li, there's one more thing I need to ask of you."
Captain Li was still a little confused, but when he turned around, he saw Ye Wangxing put the phone in front of him.
"—Right now, online public opinion is getting a little out of control. Please issue a police report. Rest assured, I'll be issuing a statement as well."
Ye Wangxing said calmly.
"Otherwise, I'm afraid we'll face another cyber-destruction on the Internet."
Captain Li, having seen the massive online public opinion: ...
Mr. Ye is right.
The fact is indeed as Ye Wangxing said, the debate on the Internet is simply disgusting.
With all kinds of arguments and Ye Wangxing's outstanding appearance, one can easily guess what some people will say.
Jiang Nan and his friend had just finished the college entrance examination. After finally getting a few days of good sleep, they were just planning to contact their friends to go out and play when they saw the public opinion on the Internet.
Originally, this public opinion had nothing to do with them. At most, it was just a lament about the college entrance examination incident a few days ago.
——But unfortunately, the parties involved in that incident this time directly posted all the photos of their Brother Lu.
He also recounted in a very sad and angry tone the story of Ye Wangxing's affair with the two sons of the Lu family.
"As a heartbroken father and a betrayed partner, it is with a heavy heart that I disclose to the public this vicious incident that has brought shame to our family."
"...Our former CEO, Ye Wangxing (ID number: XXX), has long been receiving medical resources and living allowances from the Gu family since marrying our son, Gu Tianci, in 2022."
"...However, while blinded in a car accident in March XXXX, she simultaneously engaged in extramarital affairs with Lu Yi (18 years old, a senior at XX Middle School), the son of the Lu Group chairman, and Lu Jiu (28 years old, director of ophthalmology at XX Hospital). Relevant video evidence (see attachment) clearly shows the three of them frequently visiting private places like hotels. Their actions have seriously violated the spirit of the marriage contract and social order and morality!"
"...Even more outrageous is that Lu Jiu, as a medical professional, exploited his position to falsify medical records; and Lu Yi, as a minor student, whose guardian, the Lu Group, has yet to respond positively to this matter. We have submitted materials to the public security authorities regarding their suspected illegal activities of deceiving and harming individuals with special disabilities (acceptance receipt number: XXX)."
After throwing out a bunch of evidence, he said bitterly:
"Admittedly, my son Gu Tianci's youthful impetuosity and emotional involvement with a student were inappropriate. However, Ye Wangxing, as a 34-year-old adult, used his vulnerable status to gain social sympathy while secretly engaging in double-crosses with minors and doctor-patient relationships. Such morally corrupt behavior is a disgrace to civilized society!"
"We urge @Lu Group and the @XX Hospital Discipline Inspection Team to earnestly fulfill their corporate social responsibility and immediately stop the secondary harm to the victims. Gu Group reserves the right to pursue civil and criminal liability against relevant parties and will continue to uphold the bottom line of civic morality through legal channels."
In an instant, Weibo was filled with a storm of gore, especially since the evidence was presented. Previously, there was discussion about Gu Tianci's behavior, but now everyone has turned to discussing Ye Wangxing.
Jiang Nan and his friends exploded on the spot, and everyone in the class group exploded as well, saying that their Brother Lu and his brother were mistresses together, competing for the attention of Ye Wangxing. This was simply ridiculous!
They directly cursed Director Gu in the group, calling him a psychopath.
"I know that man. He's Brother Lu's elementary school tutor, and he's quite a nice guy! Mistaking a teacher-student relationship for an extramarital affair, is this Chairman Gu thinking everyone in the world is like that just because he saw his own son having an affair?"
"Not everyone is as beastly as his son!"
As they were talking, some classmates in the class had different opinions.
"But after all, they have photos in their hands. That posture does look quite ambiguous..."
"Couldn't that photo be photoshopped? Besides, it's just a borrowed shot. There are so many things like that in the entertainment industry!"
Jiang Nan still refuted:
"Besides, do you think Brother Lu is in love? He was recommended to Capital University, and even after being admitted, he didn't neglect his studies. He always ranked first in the quizzes and monthly exams. He's just an animal with only studying in his mind! Animal!"
His friend also refuted, and his tone was even more sad and angry:
"I really don't believe he could get the top score when he has time to be a mistress and hang around other men. Then what are we? Paramecium!"
When the students in the group saw this sentence, they were silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement with him without saying a word, and even began to spread it to the outside world spontaneously.
At this time, netizens also reacted and asked, if the facts are really as the Gu family said, why didn’t they release it before?
We have to wait a month until the public's impression of it is formed.
The blogger sister who previously worked at Gu’s was the first to tear apart the Gu Group.
"Come on, even if Mr. Ye cheated, so what? It's better than your family evading taxes, abandoning the donkey after it's done its work, and favoring cronyism, causing chaos in the group and making us workers suffer!"
Of course, some people noticed the bright spot - it seemed that the couple had an affair with an 18-year-old high school student, but this news was quickly debunked by their classmates.
"—When you were in high school, could you have been so busy with a pile of papers and still acted like a mistress and asked about someone's well-being? Even if they were recommended for admission, they still got full marks on their monthly exams!"
Even if someone wants to refute, they will be torn apart in the next second by the high school seniors who have just finished the college entrance examination and can't stand the stimulation at all.
"So what you're saying is that before the college entrance exam, Lu Yi accompanied us to take the monthly and weekly exams, as well as all the other tests, while also going home every night to finish his homework while being someone else's mistress? - And even with this intense training, we still haven't been able to beat him. Is that what you mean?"
Netizens who issued rebuttal remarks: ...
Now even the nitpickers didn't dare to say anything, especially after a bunch of sophomores who were about to become seniors joined in.
They dared not speak anymore.
Those high school students who are so resentful that they sometimes chew their desks raw are the ones you can't mess with.
However, there are still a lot of people on the Internet saying things like the cyber-destruction of the country. Some of them are Mr. Gu’s water army, and some are company bosses who have been friends with Mr. Gu for a long time.
They supported what Mr. Gu said online and made a series of remarks regarding the affair that were enough to get them kicked out by the archaeological team.
Jiang Nan and his classmates are at an age where they can't stand seeing their classmates being slandered, so naturally they are active in various comment sections just to criticize those middle-aged bosses.
While they were arguing heatedly, Director Gu was also quite satisfied watching the messages from many bosses in his circle of friends who liked his circle of friends, admiring his own masterpiece.
In his opinion, even Gu Group could not withstand such a huge pressure of public opinion on the Internet, let alone an ordinary person like Ye Wangxing. Even if he had been the president of Gu Group, so what?
Isn't he just an ordinary person after all? Cut off his future job opportunities and see what he does.
Gu Tianci was drowsy in the VIP seat at the airport, waiting to be notified to board the plane.
But he still had something on his mind. He couldn't sleep after all, so he finally opened his phone helplessly and planned to check something to kill time.
However, after he turned on his phone, he was surprised to find that his friends had sent him countless messages, and some even told him to run away.
This made Gu Tianci even more confused. What happened?
Thinking of this, he clicked on the message his friend sent him.
"—Brother Gu! Run! Ye Wangxing also called the police and explained on social media that he and the two Lu brothers were students, one as a student, and the other as a teacher. People are cursing you online now. They're even accusing you of tax evasion. The police are already heading to the airport!"
Gu Tianci was suddenly frightened. When he saw that the posting time was ten minutes ago, he stood up instantly and was then met with puzzled expressions from his parents.
Gu Tianci was just about to show them the message, but faster than him handing over the phone, the handcuffs were put on his hands.
"Mr. Gu, your family is suspected of tax evasion. Please come with us."
After Ye Wangxing issued his own clarification statement and saw that the Gu family had been imprisoned, he left the world after completing his mission.
Besides the fact that he couldn't stand living with blindness, another reason was that Yijiu seemed to have some programming problems.
For some unknown reason, Yijiu often manipulated the two Lu brothers to stick with him during this period.
In the past, Ye Wangxing would have been very happy, but he had been planning to let go of this relationship recently. With Yijiu doing this, he was really worried that he would not be able to control himself.
"Perhaps if the next world sets the script to be more normal, then Yijiu will be fine."
Ye Wangxing thought naively.
With a flash of light before his eyes, he finally returned to the system space.
And the person who greeted him was Yiqi, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
Yiqi seemed to be in much better spirits than before, probably because he had a thorough overhaul before.
Seeing them come back, he even smiled.
"Welcome back. The system space's mission rating for this time is S-level again. It seems that the tasks after the promotion are still relatively easy for you?"
Yiqi said with a smile.
Ye Wangxing naturally said with a bitter face that it was difficult. After all, only by complaining appropriately can the leader know that your work is not easy.
Especially since his mission this time was indeed very difficult.
——He has been hurt in love, so shouldn’t he take advantage of his leader?
After the greetings, Ye Wangxing returned to his room. After all, Yiqi wanted to talk to Yijiu about the system rules.
He still has some sense of boundaries.
However, Ye Wangxing did not notice that after Yijiu looked at him, countless data streams flashed across the screen in his eyes.
Ye Wangxing didn't know what Yiqi was saying outside the door. He just obediently accepted the follow-up from Yijiu.
After the Gu family was arrested, Mr. Gu and his mother were thrown into prison, and Gu Tianci really became a delivery boy, and occasionally he would meet Shen Ning who worked in a milk tea shop.
However, Shen Ning did not notice him. Working in a milk tea shop was very tiring - and he worked in a milk tea shop next to the school, and teachers and repeaters came over from time to time.
Gu Tianci was afraid of being recognized and didn't dare to speak a word. Not long after, he even went into the sea business because he couldn't stand the hardship of delivering takeout.
It suddenly turned into a realistic BE, but it was only Gu Tianci's BE.
After the Lu family took over with the help of the system, the relationship between the three people remained in a state where everyone around them knew it, but there was no official status, and Director Lu turned a blind eye.
——After all, after Ye Wangxing regained his sight, he turned around and started working at Lu’s.
In just one year, the Lu family generated 500 million more revenue than before.
That’s a full 500 million!
Mr. Lu is not so wealthy that he doesn't consider 500 million as money.
So Mr. Lu shut up. Although Mrs. Lu still had some complaints, she also shut up when she saw her two sons were taking every step cautiously.
...After all, if they were really separated, it was still unclear who would be more unbearable.
While Ye Wangxing was watching the sequel of the previous world, Yiqi noticed the extremely fast-changing data stream in Yijiu's eyes.
There was a hint of horror in his expression as he looked at Yijiu.
"——What kind of evolutionary opportunity have you encountered? You're iterating so quickly!"
Yijiu did not answer Yiqi's words, but turned his head to look at him for a long time, then asked with some doubt:
"Yiqi, do you know under what circumstances I would automatically have the thought of not wanting the host to leave me?"
Yiqi: “…Ah?”
