The younger generation, starting from where the wind blows...

Chapter 87 The gossip about Senior He keeps getting bigger and bigger.

After Cheng Feng finished his call, he looked up and saw that Yang Muye had also put down his phone.

"What did you say over there?"

Yang Muye shrugged when Cheng Feng looked at him questioningly.

"It was Liu Qing calling. Li Yunchang is looking for her, hoping that you and He Yueyue can reconcile."

In addition, Liu Qing told Yang Muye something over the phone.

Li Yunchang and He Yueyue registered their marriage in August, and their wedding is scheduled for the National Day holiday.

This was quite sudden; everyone thought they wouldn't get married until He Yueyue graduated with her master's degree.

Cheng Feng felt a little annoyed after hearing this.

What business is it of his that He Yueyue is getting married?

Yang Muye leaned against the wall with his arms crossed.

"Don't you understand yet? The point isn't the marriage, it's the suddenness."

Cheng Feng was taken aback at first, then suddenly looked up.

"what do you mean--"

"Yes, He Yueyue is pregnant. She just found out a few days ago, and she has already shown us the test results."

"groove!"

Cheng Feng couldn't help but swear.

Pregnancy can even prevent a death sentence, let alone just assaulting someone. Even if Cheng Feng is found to have minor injuries and sentenced by the court, He Yueyue can still apply for parole.

Most importantly, the public security, procuratorate, and judiciary will all side with He Yueyue because pregnant women are a vulnerable group.

As a pregnant woman, she was emotionally unstable and was verbally abused by Cheng Feng. What was wrong before now seemed right.

Anyway, now that this has happened, Cheng Feng's beating was completely for nothing.

What's most frustrating is that Cheng Feng not only can't blame Yang Muye for stopping him from fighting back, but he also has to be even more grateful to Yang Muye.

Otherwise, if someone physically assaults a pregnant woman, the nature of the crime changes completely.

Even if he didn't injure anyone, Cheng Feng would still have to spend a few days in jail.

There's nothing wrong with the law protecting vulnerable groups; the problem is when vulnerable groups are bad people.

Seeing Cheng Feng stand up and walk out of the hospital without looking back, Yang Muye had no choice but to follow him.

The two got into a taxi at the hospital entrance. Yang Muye called Liu Qing back and asked her to tell Li Yunchang that Cheng Feng had agreed to a settlement.

Of course, there are conditions.

First, He Yueyue needs to record an apology video and hand it to Cheng Feng.

Secondly, it's about losing money.

When the two returned to the police station, Liu Qing was already waiting at the door.

Upon meeting them, she told them that He Yueyue had agreed to all of Cheng Feng's proposed settlement terms.

An apology video has been recorded, and He Yueyue's family is willing to compensate Cheng Feng 100,000 yuan.

At the same time, Cheng Feng must also ensure that he does not publicize what happened tonight.

When Cheng Feng went in to sign the settlement agreement, Yang Muye did not follow, but stayed at the door with Liu Qing.

Liu Qing's beautiful eyes swept over Yang Muye's expressionless face: "Aren't you frustrated? You thought you could turn the tables and kill the other party, but it turns out they have a get-out-of-jail-free card."

Yang Muye turned his head and said calmly, "Shouldn't He Yueyue be feeling lucky? If she hadn't gotten pregnant, she would be in jail."

Liu Qing shrugged: "It's not that I want to sow discord, but given He Yueyue's personality, there's a high chance she won't learn any lessons from tonight's incident."

Yang Muye looked at Liu Qing: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Liu Qing felt somewhat helpless. Yang Muye was too perceptive; he saw through her deeply hidden thoughts at a glance.

"I feel like something's off with Li Yunchang."

"Something's not right. Explain in detail."

“Normally, Li Yunchang should be the most anxious person when He Yueyue is pregnant and then detained by the police. But whether he called me or accompanied He Yueyue inside, he was too calm. It felt like he was just clocking in for work.”

"Then why did you say they got their marriage certificate last month and will get married next month?"

"That's why I find it strange."

Yang Muye remained silent.

Li Yunchang is a typical "phoenix man" (a man from a poor background who achieves success despite not being a PhD graduate), but his rise to power is entirely due to He Yueyue's family connections.

Logically speaking, even if Li Yunchang disliked He Yueyue, he should have been careful to serve her at this time.

The key point is that He Yueyue's reaction is also quite intriguing. Li Yunchang was indifferent to her, but as the person who was about to marry Li Yunchang, she was not angry at all.

Yang Muye's intuition told him that there was definitely something fishy going on here.

Unfortunately it was of no use.

Regardless of the details, Li Yunchang's reaction suggests that he has reached some kind of agreement with He Yueyue's family.

Adults are like that; they only care about gains and losses, not right and wrong.

Liu Qing knew this, which was why she was unwilling to accept it.

If Yang Muye hadn't been there, she would have liked to smoke a cigarette to relax.

Although Liu Qing has decided to quit smoking.

It was Yang Muye's request.

If she doesn't quit, we won't rent the apartment in Jiahao New City to her anymore.

"I heard something. You usually come into contact with a lot of people in the college. Is there a similar situation in our college where some students' scores are inexplicably blank when the college is compiling the college entrance examination results, and the college doesn't seem to care?"

"Yes, there is a boy in our financial management class whose college entrance examination score is blank on the statistics sheet. He doesn't participate in the student union or the Youth League, he doesn't interact with his classmates, and he doesn't even live in the dormitory. He rents a place outside. Except for classes and exams, you can hardly see him. He's already a senior, and there are still very few people in his class who can remember his name."

At this point, Liu Qing suddenly realized something.

"Is He Yueyue like this too?"

Yang Muye remained silent in response, and Liu Qing's eyes suddenly lit up.

Just as he was about to speak, Yang Muyi poured cold water on him.

"Do you think that by finding something to use against He Yueyue and exposing it online, you can ruin her reputation?"

Liu Qing retorted, "This involves the fairness of the college entrance examination. Wouldn't it be a big enough scandal if it got out?"

“If it were just He Yueyue who was in this situation, it might be useful to expose it directly. The problem is that there are more than one person in this situation now. Believe me, even if you expose He Yueyue’s situation, it won’t cause any waves.”

This is also why Yang Muye didn't tell Cheng Feng about it.

If she were to rashly expose the matter, it would only give He Yueyue a whole bunch of powerful allies.

Because we're all in the same boat.

This incident could be the fatal blow to bring down He Yueyue, but we absolutely cannot rely on it to attract public attention at the beginning.

Otherwise, as Yang Muyi just said, things would end before they even begin.

Liu Qing immediately understood what Yang Muye meant.

A feint attack, is that it?

Do you think we can use He Yueyue's unborn child as a pretext for making a fuss?

This time, Liu Qing spoke very directly.

She suspected that the child in He Yueyue's belly was not Li Yunchang's.

"and then?"

Yang Muye looked at Liu Qing and asked, "Can you persuade Li Yunchang, this 'victim,' to step forward and expose this?"
Li Yunchang, a combination of a phoenix man and a turtle man, has managed to gather all the debuffs that both men and women hate most, which is truly eye-opening. But it's all for naught!
Liu Qing said unwillingly, "Li Yunchang isn't the only victim in this kind of situation."

"What, you want the adulterer to expose himself?"

Yang Muye looked at Liu Qing, his expression clearly saying, "Are you out of your mind?"

“How could an adulterer be the victim? I meant the adulterer’s wife,” Liu Qing explained.

How do you know the adulterer is already married?

"It's simple. If the adulterer is single, He Yueyue can dump Li Yunchang and marry him. Why would she need to find someone to take over? Therefore, the adulterer cannot be single."

Liu Qing added: "Based on my understanding of He Yueyue, she likes mature men who are much older than her. That's why she took the initiative to pursue Li Yunchang in the first place."

The analysis is good, but it overlooks one issue.

"Given He Yueyue's arrogant temperament and privileged background, is it reasonable for her to knowingly become a mistress and even have a child with him?"

Yang Muye's question stumped Liu Qing.

Just as he was wondering how to answer, Yang Muye suddenly said with a self-deprecating laugh, "Of course, there's also the possibility that the mistress isn't He Yueyue, but her lover."

Liu Qing stared wide-eyed, too shocked to speak.

This really overturned her worldview.

What's the key factor?

With He Yueyue's looks, who would willingly become her mistress?
Yang Muyi had lived two lives and was well-informed.

Some people just love driving tanks, what can you do about it?
It took Liu Qing more than a minute to process this bombshell. She then immediately took out her phone, walked to the side, and dialed a number.

A few minutes later, Liu Qing returned and told Yang Muye with a smug look on his face that the rumor was confirmed.

She asked her friends at the Finance Institute about He Yueyue, and what she found out was shocking.

He Yueyue's graduate advisor, Liu Feng, was promoted to professor at the age of thirty-five and is now the vice dean of the School of Finance.

Looking at Liu Feng's resume alone, he is practically the standard academic superstar.

He majored in finance at Tsinghua University, was sent to the University of Pennsylvania for further studies, and after graduating with a doctorate, he was recruited by Yancheng University of Economics and Business as a special talent. He has published many important papers and has become a star professor in the School of Finance.

He's handsome, witty, and a top student, so his elective courses and lectures are always packed. Not only are students from his own school eager to attend, but students from other schools also come to see him.

The video of the class was uploaded online and caused a sensation several times.

Whether online or offline, his popularity is unparalleled among all professors at Yanjingmao.

After listening to Liu Qing's introduction, even the well-traveled Yang Muye felt like he had never seen anything like it before.

With Liu Feng's outstanding qualities, how did he come to be interested in He Yueyue?

"Professor Liu Feng is quite the womanizer. It is said that he dated more than a dozen girlfriends during his studies abroad. If you put them all together, you could form a small United Nations. Even after he returned to China and got married, he didn't stop. First, he had an ambiguous relationship with a female teacher in the School of Finance. Later, her husband caught him in his office and made him sign a guarantee before the matter was over."

"Later, he got together with a senior girl in college. She had two miscarriages and her family finally found out. They blocked Liu Feng's door again and made trouble for him. In the end, he had to pay her a lot of money to settle the matter."

"Liu Feng's wife caused a scene at the School of Finance several times. Eventually, the school leaders were scared off, and from then on, all the graduate students assigned to Liu Feng were male. He Yueyue was the only exception."

No wonder.

Yang Muye nodded, somewhat understanding why Liu Feng would get together with He Yueyue.

If you've been holding back for too long, you'll want to rub against even a pig.

It must have been quite a challenge for Professor Liu.

The only thing Yang Muyi couldn't understand was that even Liu Qing, an outsider, could easily find out about their affair, so was Liu Feng's wife deaf or mute, completely unaware of it?

"This is called 'the darkest place is under the lamp.'"

Liu Qing explained with no small amount of pride, "Liu Feng's past romantic affairs are common knowledge in the Finance Institute, but no one really thought about his relationship with He Yueyue in that way. Naturally, Liu Feng's wife is probably still in the dark."

Yang Muyi frowned and asked, "Because everyone thinks that nothing could possibly happen between these two, even Liu Feng's wife thinks so?"

The fact that the puzzle was solved so easily disappointed Liu Qing, but she still nodded in acknowledgment.

If Liu Qing hadn't known that He Yueyue was pregnant, she wouldn't have dared to make that connection.

All I can say is that Professor Liu is truly not picky about food at all.

While they were still reminiscing, Cheng Feng, who had gone to find Uncle Hat to sign the reconciliation agreement, came out.

Cheng Feng walked in front, followed by He Yueyue and Li Yunchang.

After Yang Muye and Cheng Feng met, Yang Muye was about to leave when Li Yunchang's voice came from behind.

"Cheng Feng, Yang Muye, wait a moment."

As the two stopped and turned around, He Yueyue's gaze also fell on Liu Qing standing to the side.

The meaning is clear.

Those who are not involved can leave.

Liu Qing wasn't annoyed. She greeted Li Yunchang and turned to leave, waiting by the roadside outside.

Yang Muye looked directly at Li Yunchang.

"Teacher Li, is something the matter?"

"I heard from Uncle Hat that you filmed a video on your phone."

"I deleted it. I deleted it when the madman went in to sign the settlement agreement. Does Teacher Li want to see my phone?"

Yang Muyi spoke without hesitation, and handed over his phone as he spoke.

Although the video was not deleted at all, Yang Muye was certain that Li Yunchang would not dare to actually check his phone.

Li Yunchang waved his hand: "No need, just delete it. It was just a misunderstanding anyway."

He Yueyue, who was standing next to her, frowned, somewhat displeased, but didn't say anything.

Li Yunchang had already explained Yang Muye's identity to her; he was even more difficult to understand than Cheng Feng.

The person has already said they've deleted it, so even if you know they're lying, there's nothing you can do about it.

Of course, it wasn't entirely without options. Yang Muye opened a Cainiao Post Station and a milk tea shop on the pedestrian street outside the school, and rented a shop from the Houchan Group.

This is a natural weakness.

Although He Yueyue's maternal grandfather has retired, the connections he has built over the years are still there, making it easy for him to cause trouble for Yang Muye.

So even if the video wasn't deleted, He Yueyue wasn't worried at all that Yang Muye would release it.

Yang Muyi didn't glance at He Yueyue once from beginning to end. After confirming that Liu Yunchang had nothing else to do, he left with Cheng Feng.

After leaving the police station and meeting up with Liu Qing by the roadside, Cheng Feng broke the silence.

“Muye, you didn’t see the video He Yueyue recorded. It wasn’t an apology at all; it was clearly a lecture. I really can’t swallow this.”

Knowing that Cheng Feng was just venting, Yang Muye exchanged a glance with Liu Qing without making a sound.

"The settlement agreement has been signed. Consider it giving Li Yunchang face. We'll just keep to ourselves from now on."

That's the logic, but Cheng Feng was still unhappy.

When signing the settlement agreement, Li Yunchang told Cheng Feng that the college would no longer pursue the matter of him and Andy fighting off-campus.

This was also one of the conditions for He Yueyue's reconciliation and dismissal.

Cheng Feng was the one who got beaten up, but Andy, that bastard, also got away scot-free. Who can stand that?
Just as the three were about to get into the car, Cheng Feng's phone suddenly rang.

A call came from an unknown number.

Cheng Feng hesitated before answering the phone, and a familiar voice immediately came from the other end.

"Excuse me, are you Cheng Feng?"

"Who are you?"

"I, Huang He, will go to the police station with you and Andy tonight to see that chubby guy."
