Chapter 55: Auntie Liang, Please Keep Your Son in Check!

"This..."

Qi Mingyu was dumbfounded. He never expected Li Changshun to pull out the surveillance footage.

You must know, he had united the entire Student Union to file this report.

Under such circumstances, Li Changshun actually refused to believe it and stubbornly went to investigate it himself. Wasn't this sheer madness?

However, things had already reached this point, and getting angry was pointless. He could only brace himself and sophistically argue, "Director Li, even if I was in the wrong today, what about before?"

"He also beat up Pei An and Jiang Yang, and he even occupied—"

"Enough!"

Li Changshun interrupted him with a furious look. "We've reached this point and you're still quibbling. Do you really think I'm a fool?"

With that, too lazy to talk nonsense with him any further, he turned to a young man standing behind him and said in a deep voice, "Teacher Wang, I'll leave this matter to the Inspection Department. Thoroughly investigate every single member of the Student Union. Deal with those who need to be dealt with, and expel those who need to be purged."

"Remember, hold everyone accountable for any rules or disciplinary violations. Zero tolerance!"

"Understood!"

The teacher acknowledged the order, took out his phone, and immediately called colleagues across multiple departments, including the Inspection Department and the Security Office.

"This..."

The expressions of the Student Union members instantly drained of color.

They knew better than anyone else that Xu Ye had been wronged.

At least in this particular report, aside from the matter of the occupied car, almost everything else was provoked by them first.

If this investigation went through, forget about keeping their status as Student Union members; at the bare minimum, they would likely face disciplinary probation.

Qi Mingyu's face turned completely pale, disbelief written all over it.

Using his position, he hadn't done a small amount of illicit things, such as embezzling activity funds, appointing people through favoritism, and abusing or even arbitrarily occupying school resources, among many other things.

If these were brought to light, it wouldn't just be a simple matter of losing his position as the Vice President of the Student Union; there was a very high chance he would be directly expelled.

Damn it, how could Li Changshun not believe him, but instead trust some lowly bastard?

"Ha!"

Zhao Yang felt completely vindicated. He crossed his arms and looked at Qi Mingyu with a smug expression. "Well, looks like someone is really getting expelled now. But I wonder who it'll actually be?"

"What a pathetic clown! Time to enjoy the show!"

Su Zijin gave Zhao Yang an appreciative look, suddenly finding him very well-suited to be a friend.

After all, having someone speak your mind so fiercely... listening to it was genuinely satisfying.

"What are you... so smug about?"

Qi Mingyu's face turned green with rage. Unable to endure it any longer, he stepped right up to Xu Ye and Zhao Yang, hissing into their ears.

"Do you really think getting away with it this time is a big deal?"

"Do you seriously think that even if I get investigated, the school will expel me?"

"Let me tell you, power is king in this day and age!"

"My family has money, and I can smooth this over in a matter of minutes!"

"But what about you?"

"Offend me, and just wait to see how you'll die later!!"

Without waiting for either of them to reply, he arrogantly turned around and walked away without looking back.

He truly didn't take this matter to heart at all. After all, nowadays, what problem couldn't be solved with money?

Investigate?

As long as the folks from the Inspection Department turned around and reported that he had no issues whatsoever, naturally, nothing would happen to him.

And then!!

Xu Ye! Zhao Yang! Su Zijin!

Daring to cross me time and time again, you better all wait for this young master. Next time... see if I don't grind you all to dust, one by one!

"Old Ye..."

Zhao Yang felt a trace of regret, though anxiety weighed heavier on his mind.

Indeed, the Qi family was an absolute behemoth to them. It had felt great to vent just now, but if they truly had to face Qi Mingyu's retaliation...

He himself wasn't afraid, but implicating Su Zijin and Xu Ye...

That would make him feel genuinely guilty.

"It's fine, don't worry."

Su Zijin sent out a text message, put away her phone, and said with a faint smile.

"But..."

Zhao Yang wanted to say more, but Xu Ye raised a hand with a smile and interrupted him. "Zijin is right. It's just a mere Qi Mingyu, there's really no need to worry."

Pausing for a moment, he changed the subject: "Alright, after tossing and turning for so long, I haven't even eaten. Let's go grab some food."

Without giving Zhao Yang another chance to speak, he threw an arm around his shoulders and strode in the direction of the Sixth Cafeteria.

Xu Ruowei watched them leave from within the crowd, her teeth practically grinding into powder.

"Ruowei, why didn't you step in just now and teach them a lesson?"

"Look at them, they're getting completely out of hand!"

"Exactly, Ruowei. He was clearly just a dog you kept, so what's with this attitude?"

"Not only did he talk back to you, but now he's completely disregarding you as his master!"

"Things have come to this, why are you still showing him any mercy?"

"Hurry up and call your parents, have his entire family expelled, and kick them all out of your house!"

Wu Jiajia and the others were also infuriated to the extreme, chiming in to "seek justice" for Xu Ruowei.

Their master was standing right here, yet he ignored her completely and just walked away with another woman?

What kind of attitude was that?

And treating Ruowei like this over the past few days—why keep a dog like that around?

If it were them, they would have beaten him to death and been done with it!

"I'm going to make a call."

Xu Ruowei could no longer hold back. Xu Ye didn't seem to be joking anymore; he genuinely seemed to have fallen for someone else.

If she didn't do something about this now, the Xu family's assets would really be finished.

Yet going directly to find Xu Ye was clearly no longer an option. She had no choice but to call his mother.

Hmph, licking up to her for over four years, and now he says he's stopping just like that? Where in the world was there such a thing?

This was a severe case of irresponsibility, betrayal, and double-dealing!

How on earth was Aunt Liang raising her son?

Was there no sense of responsibility left? No morality whatsoever?

"Hello, Auntie, Xu野 is bullying me～"

As soon as the call went through, Xu Ruowei immediately spoke with a sob in her voice.

On the other end of the line, Liang Qiuxue looked at the evidence spread across her desk while casting an icy gaze toward the phone. "Ruowei, dear, what happened?"

"Don't cry yet, tell Auntie slowly. If Xiao Ye is in the wrong, Auntie will definitely make it right for you."

Right before her eyes was the concrete proof of Xu Dahai's family breaking the law—case after case, offense after offense, all laid bare before her.

She hadn't looked at it before, but the more she read, the more shocking it became, and the more furious she grew.

Therefore, she wasn't in a hurry. Not in the least bit.

Daring to throw their weight around on the Xu family's turf?

If she didn't play them to death, the massive fortune the Xu family had amassed would truly have been earned in vain!

Xu Ruowei had no idea what was going on in Liang Qiuxue's mind. She twisted the facts, exaggerating how Xu Ye had treated her, his older brother, and his mother over the past few days, even embellishing the part about his change of heart to find someone else, painting herself as pitiable as possible.

"Auntie, Xu Ye promised he would always like me, and I stayed by his side for a full four years and more."

"And now he can just do this? Changing his mind just like that and falling for another woman!"

"You must know—everyone in my family knows I moved into the Xu residence, and everyone assumed I would definitely marry Xu Ye."

"Now that he's dumped me just like that, how can I face anyone?"

"Auntie, I can't go on living like this!"
