Chapter 237 Her Follow-Up, Chenxing Unseen
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
“I’m like Jiang Fuyue.”
Old Zhou: “?”
Fan Ye clapped happily, “Fang Canyang, you’re amazing!”
Fang Canyang smiled shyly at her.
Old Zhou didn’t understand, “Classmate, don’t act impulsively, think it through before deciding. This isn’t a joke, blindly following others isn’t advisable!”
Fang Canyang looked serious, politely thanked him first, “I understand your concerns, but when I hesitated just now, I already thought it through.”
“It’s not… what do you understand? If you really understood, you wouldn’t interfere!”
These two kids were completely different from Jiang Fuyue.
The former was modest and practical, even a bit cowardly, clearly not the type to actively cause trouble or get involved in mischief.
But Jiang Fuyue? Under normal circumstances, she didn’t actively seek trouble, but she wasn’t afraid of it either. If something happened to her, it wouldn’t end well for the other party.
If someone hit her, she would make sure they regretted it.
She appeared gentle and pretty on the surface, but she was actually stubborn and obstinate. If she were a boy, it would be one thing, but she was a girl…
“Fang Canyang, have you really thought this through?” Old Zhou’s tone was heavy, his expression serious.
“If I were alone in this situation today, you wouldn’t be here, because I wouldn’t call the police.”
Old Zhou was taken aback.
Fang Canyang lowered his gaze, his eyelashes fluttering lightly, “Even if I were hit and could still stand, I would quietly walk away. It doesn’t matter who hit me, I don’t care, because I don’t want trouble.”
Old Zhou frowned, although these words followed his line of thinking, why did they sound so harsh?
Fang Canyang then raised his head and glanced at Ren Xinghe, “Besides, the one who hit me is a classmate. Just based on that, I won’t do anything to him.”
“It’s not…” Old Zhou was anxious, “You can’t say that, even among classmates, crime should not be condoned…”
As he spoke, even Old Zhou himself couldn’t continue.
But Fang Canyang looked puzzled, “Endure temporary peace for long-term stability, isn’t that what you’ve been advocating?”
Old Zhou was speechless.
“But now is different,” he turned to look at Jiang Fuyue, “There is already someone braver than me leading the way, so why should I retreat?”
I may be timid and cowardly, but I am not fighting alone. I have friends standing by my side, and that’s enough.
“Alright, you all have your reasons, I can’t argue with that.” Old Zhou waved his hand, sighing deeply.
His body visibly slumped, as if he had suddenly lost most of his spirit.
Fang Canyang couldn’t bear to see this and wanted to say something, but he moved his lips and didn’t know where to start.
“Old Zhou… are you okay?” a young colleague called out.
“I’m fine.” He shook his head, took a deep breath, and rallied, “Since you’ve all made up your minds, let’s go to the police station together to clarify things.”
“Officer, will it take long?” Gao Zhaoming asked, concerned. “We have a competition to attend in a while…”
The young police officer retorted, “Now you’re worried about these issues? Weren’t you all arrogant when Old Zhou was advising you just now?”
Gao Zhaoming shrank his neck, unable to help but pout.
Huang Hui was also anxious. Without Jiang Fuyue at IOI and IPhO, both sides would be affected. If the international competition was really delayed, the consequences would be unimaginable!
“Officer, can you…”
“Enough!” The young police officer interrupted him abruptly. “All four of you, get in the car!”
As Fang Canyang and the others prepared to get in, Jiang Fuyue suddenly spoke up—
“Not in a hurry, wait a moment.”
The young police officer had tolerated her for a long time and strode over aggressively, “What are you waiting for?! Do you think this is a TV drama, where someone will come to your rescue from the sky?”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a creak—
A black Mercedes-Benz screeched to a halt, the rear door opened, and a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes appeared before them.
He adjusted his tie and walked up to Jiang Fuyue with a serious expression, “Sorry for the delay, the road was a bit congested.”
Jiang Fuyue: “Not late, just in time.”
The young police officer was stunned, about to ask who he was, but the man had already taken out his business card and introduced himself—
“I’m Wang Chengyang, a senior partner at the Taihe Law Firm in the capital, and also Jiang Fuyue’s attorney. If you’re from the Criminal Investigation Department, you shouldn’t be unfamiliar with me. I’m a criminal defense lawyer.”
If the name “Taihe Law Firm” was already well-known, then when the living Wang Chengyang stood before them, the sensation among the crowd could only be described as “shocking.”
Who is Wang Chengyang?
A nationally renowned criminal defense lawyer, he fought for justice in the sensational “Zhang Huaishu Killing Wife Case,” as well as the “235 Serial Murder Case.”
A big shot like him is actually acting as a legal representative for a high school student like Jiang Fuyue, and he personally came here.
Lin Shumo frowned, casting a more scrutinizing look at Jiang Fuyue.
Ling Xuan, however, wasn’t surprised by this turn of events.
Seeing Jiang Fuyue’s calm demeanor, he guessed she had an ace up her sleeve, but he didn’t expect it to be someone like Wang Chengyang.
How many more secrets did she have? How many surprises could she bring to people?
Gao Zhaoming was dumbfounded, it took him a while to react, and he stared blankly at Huang Hui, “Is he the Wang Chengyang I know?”
“Should I say it’s the Wang Chengyang known to the whole nation?”
“How did Fuyue get him?”
“Huh?”
Gao Zhaoming continued to mutter, “I want one too.”
“… “
In just a few hours, Huo Fanjin received more shocks than he did in the past year.
After witnessing Jiang Fuyue’s extraordinary capabilities in academics, then her fearless and resolute demeanor in dealing with major incidents, and now even her network was so outstanding?
How could her peers handle it?
It’s almost like taking orders without question.
Huo Fanjin couldn’t help but imagine what it would be like if her parents unconditionally supported every decision she made like this.
Upon hearing this, Wang Chengyang hurried over to negotiate with Old Zhou. While the former spoke confidently, the latter listened silently, nodding from time to time.
About two minutes later, Wang Chengyang returned to Jiang Fuyue and reported the communication results: “Everything is taken care of. I will go with them to the police station. Also, I may need to trouble your two classmates to sign a power of attorney, so I can handle their matters as well.”
Jiang Fuyue responded with a light “Mm, thank you.”
Her tone was indifferent, but the man nearly stumbled.
If Fang Canyang was not mistaken, the emotion in Wang Chengyang’s eyes at that moment was “flattered,” right?
But would Wang Chengyang be flattered by just a word from Jiang Fuyue?
Fang Canyang found it hard to believe, but he didn’t think his judgment was wrong either, so he could only silently wrestle with it in his mind.
“…Classmate, please sign here.”
“Huh? Oh!” Fang Canyang immediately reacted and took the pen.
After Wang Chengyang and Ren Xinghe left in the police car, and the black Mercedes was driven away by its driver, only the eight of them remained.
The earlier thrilling events now felt like an unreal dream against the backdrop of this tranquility.
“So, did we call the police for nothing?”
“No… at least Ren Xinghe was taken away. He’s not like Sister Yue, who has a proxy lawyer.”
“Even if he had a lawyer, he couldn’t get someone as skilled as Wang Chengyang.”
“Sister Yue, are you related to Lawyer Wang?” Gao Zhaoming asked, his big eyes curious and blinking.
Jiang Fuyue shook her head, “No.”
Huo Fanjin’s eyes darted as she asked, “How much does it cost to hire him?”
“I don’t know, someone else arranged it. Why? Is he very good?”
Everyone looked at her with expressions that were hard to describe.
Jiang Fuyue: “?”
You can’t expect someone who has only been reborn for six months to know the influential figures in various industries twenty years later, right?
As far as Jiang Fuyue was concerned, the matter with Ren Xinghe was concluded.
Wang Chengyang did call to report the latest developments, saying that Ren Xinghe’s parents had arrived in the capital and had hired a lawyer. The parties had sat down to talk.
His stance was quite firm, clearly expressing a preference to pursue legal action and hold Ren Xinghe criminally responsible.
With the surveillance and recording evidence being comprehensive, and the testimony from the two police officers on duty that day, as well as other eyewitnesses, the chances of winning the case were as high as ninety-nine percent.
The final verdict would likely mean the other party would be incarcerated for at least six months.
Ren Xinghe’s side caved, willing to apologize, compensate, accept disciplinary action, and forfeit competition eligibility for the next five years, among other things.
Jiang Fuyue left everything in Wang Chengyang’s hands, not having the time to deal with it herself.
Because her younger brother was coming to the capital.
Jiang Fuyue had promised him that after the training camp ended, she would bring him over for a few days.
On the day of departure, Jiang Fuyue arrived at the airport just in time to pick him up, but even after the flight landed and most of the passengers had disembarked, there was still no sign of her younger brother…
