“Where are you two now?”
“On the street.”
“On the street?”
“During dinner, that pervert forced Yaoyao to drink two glasses of wine. Before he left, Yaoyao was a little confused, so he took the opportunity to take advantage of her. I did as you said and kicked him in the crotch before running away with Yaoyao.”
“How’s she doing?”
“She’s alright. She’s doing much better now. It’s not a big problem.”
“The two of you take a taxi to the Peninsula Hotel. Bring up my name and book a suite at the front desk. I’ll look for you tomorrow.”
“Ah? Peninsula Hotel? I’ve seen it on TikTok. It seems to be a five-star hotel.
We can’t afford it.”
“That’s my property. Feel free to stay there.”
“Oh my god, Brother Lin is awesome!”
“Go. I’ll take care of this for you.”
“Thank you, Brother Lin.”
After making arrangements for Du Yao and Fang Fei, Lin Yi hung up.
“What happened?” Ji Qingyan asked.
“Brother Hai’s daughter encountered a hooligan during the postgraduate interview. Fortunately, nothing major happened. I’ve arranged for her to temporarily stay at a hotel.”
Although Ji Qingyan didn’t go to Happiness Village often, Lin Yi would often tell her about it. Thus, the moment Lin Yi mentioned someone’s name, she would probably know who it was.
“We have to call the police! We can’t let this go!”
As a woman herself, Ji Qingyan absolutely detested such matters!
“If we call the police, won’t the teachers at the university all get into trouble? Remember, I’m an honorary vice-principal. I can’t slap my own face,” Lin Yi said.
“Besides, it’s probably useless to call the police over this matter. Without substantial evidence, there won’t be any conclusion. I might as well deal with it myself.”
“I feel that if you handle it personally, it will definitely be more effective than going through official channels.”
“You know me best.”
After the meal, the two of them lingered for a while before going to rest.
However, Lin Yi had been looking forward to the outcome of the matter in Yanjing.
The next morning, Lin Yi drove to the Peninsula Hotel to look for Du Yao and Fang Fei.
“How was your sleep last night?” Lin Yi asked with a smile.
“It was great!” Fang Fei said.
“Brother Lin, you’re really impressive. You actually have such a big hotel. Your annual income should be at least tens of millions.”
“It’s all small money,” Lin Yi looked at Du Yao and said.
“How are you? He didn’t traumatize you, did he?”
“Brother Lin, I don’t want to take the postgraduate entrance examination anymore. Just thinking about what happened last night is scary.”
“Don’t be afraid of a rope ten years after being bitten by a snake. Scum like that represent a tiny minority of educators,” Lin Yi said.
“You still have to go to school. In today’s society, the higher your education level, the greater potential your future will have. Otherwise, you won’t be able to survive in the big city.”
“Brother Lin is right.” Fang Fei nodded, agreeing with Lin Yi’s words. “Brother Lin, you’re so rich, are you from Tsinghua University or Yan University?”
“Uh… none of them?”
“Did Hallard or BIT?”
“University of Penntania.”
There were many well-known alumni of the University of Penntania online.
“That is a famous school!” Fang Fei was surprised. “No wonder you could earn so much money. Knowledge really changes fate.”
Ring, ring, ring!
Halfway through her sentence, Fang Fei’s phone rang.
“Hello.”
“Are you Fang Fei?”
”1 am.”
“Let me introduce myself first. I’m from the Fuqian Road Police Station. Last night, you beat up a person called Ding Yiwei at the entrance of the Junyue Hot Pot Restaurant in Fuqian Road. You should remember, right?”
Fang Fei instantly understood what was going on.
“Yes, I remember.”
“We have received a report from the victim. Now, please come to our police station for an investigation.
“He was the one who acted like a hooligan. We were just defending ourselves. Why should I go to the police station?!” Fang Fei argued.
“He came to our station to make a report. According to the rules, you need to come over as well. These are the rules.”
“Got it.”
With that, the other party hung up the phone. Fang Fei’s expression was also very ugly.
As the saying went, the people did not fight with the officials. She also knew that no matter how upset she was, she could not refuse.
She had lived for more than 20 years, but this was the first time he had encountered such a thing.
“What happened?” Du Yao asked.
“Damn it!” Fang Fei was so angry that she threw her phone onto the bed. “He was clearly the one who acted like a hooligan. I just kicked him, but he actually reported me instead. Is there any justice in this world?!”
“Look, this is the power of knowledge.” Lin Yi said.
“Although you’re the ones at a disadvantage, he used his knowledge and experience to report you. You’ve never seen such a despicable operation, right?”
Lin Yi felt that this matter was quite interesting. He didn’t want to call the police at first, but he didn’t expect that scumbag to take the initiative to make a move first.
‘I guess there’s nothing we can do.’
“Indeed, I’ve never seen anything like it before. I’ve really learned something today.”
“Brother Lin, this isn’t the time to joke around. We’re the defendants now. If we go to the police station, will something happen?”
“What are you panicking for? We’ll deal with whatever comes our way. The two of you pack your things first, then I’ll bring you over.”
“Thank you, Brother Lin.”
With Lin Yi around, the two of them felt much more at ease. They put on their clothes, ate some food, and took a taxi to the police station in Fuqian Road.
When the three of them arrived, Ding Yiwei was also there.
Ding Yiwei’s appearance was very ordinary. He was in his forties and had a 70-30 comb-over. He wore a pair of black-framed glasses and had the typical appearance of a scholar.
“Officer, she’s the one who kicked me yesterday. I’ve already gone to the hospital for a checkup. They confirmed it to be a light injury. What do you think we should do about this?” Ding Yiwei pointed at Fang Fei.
“Bullsh*t. If it weren’t for you acting like a hooligan, I wouldn’t have kicked you. How can you have the cheek to complain first? You’re really a scumbag!” “Don’t try to frame me, or I’ll report you for slandering me!” Ding Yiwei said.
“She was the one who had too much to drink. I just wanted to help her up, but you accused me of being a hooligan. You’re really good at making things up.”
“Alright, alright, stop arguing.” The police officer said,
“Tell us what happened first so that we can mediate and punish the perpetrator accordingly.”
“Comrade, it’s like this. I’m a postgraduate professor at Zhonghai Normal University’s International Relations Institute. The two of them are postgraduate students who participated in the interview yesterday, but because their results weren’t ideal, they were afraid that they wouldn’t be able to get in, so they invited me out for a meal.”
As he spoke, Ding Yiwei looked at Du Yao. “I’m guessing she did this on purpose. She wanted to trick me into accepting her as a graduate student, but she flew into a rage out of humiliation when I didn’t agree.”
“Bullsh*t!” Fang Fei put her hands on her waist and said.
“You were the one who called Yaoyao and invited her out. Why don’t you take a look at yourself? Why would we even need to try to set you up?”
The police at the police station were somewhat vexed as both parties had their own arguments and it was difficult to determine the truth immediately. They decided to review the surveillance footage to make a fair judgment.
“Alright, you guys can go back first. We’ll investigate this further. If you’re unwilling to settle privately, you have to be present when we call later.”
“Alright, we’ll definitely cooperate. We definitely won’t let this beast in human clothing off easily!”
Ding Yiwei smiled. This was exactly the outcome he wanted. After this, he could easily settle this matter with his connections.
They had no chance of fighting with him!
After the mediation was over, the two groups left separately. Ding Yiwei looked at Lin Yi and the others.
“You don’t know what’s good for you. I’ll say this today.. Don’t even think about passing the postgraduate interview!”
