The head constable glanced worriedly at Wen Lang, then stepped forward and pulled up Fang Weizhi, who was grinning foolishly on the ground. He then looked at Bai Chongshan ingratiatingly.

"Dean Bai, the matter is clear now. It was Fang Weizhi who framed Young Master Yu out of jealousy. However, he seems to be in a daze now, and we can't get anything out of him for the time being, so there's no need to ask anymore. I'll take him back first, and we'll determine the appropriate charge according to the law, and we will not let him off lightly."

Yu Shuyan raised an eyebrow:

"Officer Tie, we can hand the man over to you, but there's no need to ask any further questions about what you said. We still have reservations. After all, everyone heard that he had more to say. So, we hope the man doesn't die unexpectedly in your care."

Iron-faced, the head constable's face paled, and he frowned, saying:

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could a perfectly healthy person suddenly die?"

Bai Chongshan stared at him coldly:

“This young lady is right. I can entrust the person to you, but if anything happens to the person, I will hold you responsible. No, I will go to your Prefect, Lord Cui, and make him take responsibility.”

The head constable shrank back slightly, glancing unconsciously at Wen Lang before gritting his teeth and nodding.

"Dean Bai, rest assured, I will never let anything happen to him."

Bai Chongshan then sighed deeply, waved to him, and signaled him to take the person away quickly.

Iron-headed Constable hurriedly lowered his head, grabbed the hysterically laughing Fang Weizhi, and led a group of people away quickly.

Bai Chongshan looked at Yu Moyan with regret and sighed deeply:

“Moyan, we never expected that your injury was caused by someone. Don’t worry, I will personally go to see Magistrate Cui and ask him to seek justice for you. Anyone involved in hurting you will be found one by one and will not be allowed to get away with it.”

Wen Lang had already stood up, but his head was lowered, making it impossible to see his expression. However, his hands, hanging at his sides, were clenched so tightly that the veins were visible, revealing the repression he was feeling.

Yu Moyan had gradually calmed down from his initial shock. He glanced thoughtfully at Wen Lang, then bowed slightly to Bai Chongshan.

"I am grateful to the dean for taking care of me."

Dean Bai sighed deeply once more:

“You shouldn’t say that. Actually, I’m one of the people who has wronged you. As the dean, not only did I fail to protect the students, but I also allowed such a black sheep to hide in the academy and become a parasite. Don’t worry, I assure you, I will personally go to see Prefect Cui and make sure he investigates everything thoroughly. No matter who is involved, I will definitely seek justice for you.”

Yu Moyan nodded gratefully, but there was still regret in his eyes. After all, even if the person who harmed him was found again, it would be impossible to restore him to his former self.

Yu Wantao bowed deeply to Bai Chongshan, expressing his gratitude:

"Thank you, Dean Bai. Please, Dean, you must seek justice for my son."

Dean Bai nodded:

"We are both fathers, so I can understand how you feel. Don't worry, don't tell me that you brought this girl to save my child. Even if it's just because Moyan was once my favorite student, I will do my best."

Wen Lang's tightly clenched fist suddenly loosened slowly, and when he looked up again, his expression was one of relief and gratitude. He bowed deeply to Dean Bai.

“Teacher, as Moyan’s brother-in-law, I also need to express my gratitude to you. You must seek justice for Moyan. Our whole family will be extremely grateful.”

His few words conveyed a sense of composure and sincerity.

The way everyone looked at him still carried a deep suspicion and scrutiny.

Wen Lang could feel these gazes, but the expression on his face became even more sincere and earnest.

Bai Chongshan gave him a deep look and said:

"Don't worry, the net of heaven is vast and its meshes are wide, yet nothing escapes it. Those who do evil will eventually have to pay the price."

Wen Lang's expression grew even more grateful. He bowed deeply to Bai Chongshan before walking up to Yu Wantao and saying apologetically:

“Father-in-law, let me take you and my elder brother back. Shuyan had a little argument with my mother and took Zhe’er back to her parents’ home. I’ll go and pick her up.”

Yu Shuyan cursed inwardly:

How cunning! With just a few ambiguous words, he portrayed her as a disrespectful, even unfilial, daughter-in-law who goes against her mother-in-law. And he said it so casually, as if she frequently visits her parents' home.

He himself, on the other hand, has become the image of a good husband who loves and cherishes his wife.

Suddenly, some people began to waver:

Would a good son-in-law like him, who loves his wife and respects his father-in-law, really hurt his brother-in-law?

Perhaps there really is a misunderstanding here.

Yu Shuyan wasn't surprised, after all, she was already mentally prepared for Wen Lang's scheming.

That's why she just came to his rescue.

After all, it's impossible to completely condemn Wen Lang with a single blow. If she keeps questioning him, it would seem like she's being too deliberate, and it might even make people think that she's intentionally framing him.

Instead, her timely explanation that it was a coincidence only fueled suspicion, making people wonder where so many coincidences could come from.

She had long been prepared to peel away Wen Lang's true colors, bit by bit, making him gradually lose everything he cared about.

Watching him slowly, I felt both pain and helplessness.

Ultimately, the plan was to trample him underfoot and make him suffer unbearable pain.

For someone like Wen Lang, who is devoid of emotion and only pursues fame and fortune, killing him outright is out of the question. The goal is to gradually tarnish his reputation, strip him of all his fame and wealth, and leave him in unbearable pain.

Yu Moyan looked coldly at Wen Lang and said:

"Let's not do that for now. Shuyan hasn't been back to her parents' home for two or three years. She only goes back occasionally, and then..."

Please let her stay home a couple more days. After all, Shuyan has been taking care of her mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and children every day for the past few years; she's done her best. Please let her rest for a few days; it's my plea.”

Yu Shuyan felt a sense of satisfaction. She never expected that her gentle and upright older brother could be so sharp and ruthless when it came to hurting people.

A cold glint flashed in Wen Lang's eyes. In the past, Yu Moyan had always been gentle and polite to him.

Such a combined attack, with guns and sticks, has never happened before.

It seems he has begun to doubt him.

Although he cursed inwardly, how dare a cripple be so disrespectful to him, a scholar who was about to be appointed to an official position.

He secretly regretted that he should have just killed him back then.

But his face still held a gentle smile:

“Since you say so, then let Shuyan rest at her parents’ home for a few days. Although it is our duty as children and elder brother and sister-in-law to be filial to our mother-in-law and take care of our younger siblings, it is also Shuyan’s duty to accompany our parents and be filial to her parents-in-law. In a couple of days, I will personally go to pick Shuyan up and take her home.”

With just a few words, he made up what Yu Moyan had just said about Yu Shuyan's suffering over the years, as if it were all to be expected. He himself presented an image of being considerate of his wife and respectful to his parents-in-law.

Yu Shuyan sighed inwardly:

It's going to be a long and arduous task to ruin Wen Lang's reputation!
