Chapter 23: In-depth Communication

Chen Yang and the others were waiting for Zhang Jun to show up. Since the law can't touch him, they'll boost his 'popularity' on the campus network.

He immediately posted another message using the 'melon-eating crowd' account.

"According to insiders, the person responsible for contacting the hitman is Zhao Moumou, a close friend of the victim Zhang Mou. This is a case of 'the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple, relatives not recognizing each other'! How could he let the hitman associate Zhang Mou with the male lead of the incident? Could there be some personal grudge we don't know about?"

"I go, Old Zhang, is this for real? No wonder I went to the hospital to see you and didn't see Old Zhao. Also, what did you do to him? You're messing with him..." Luo Zhikai's curiosity was immediately piqued by the melon-eating crowd, and he couldn't wait to ask Zhang Jun.

"Old Zhao's matter, I only found out today too. Don't listen to that melon-eating crowd spouting nonsense; he's just pretending to be mysterious to boost popularity!" Zhang Jun was so angry his lungs felt like exploding. He had already called in favors and greeted the University City Police Station, asking them to keep it quiet, yet the news still leaked.

Of course, Zhang Jun was actually more worried that Zhao Shunfa would implicate him. Although hiring someone to assault isn't a serious crime, it would be recorded and be very detrimental to his future career development. He hurriedly called home and told them everything that had happened over the past two days in full detail.

"You beast, have you wasted these four years of college? If you can't be husband and wife, don't be enemies. Knowing full well that Lin Wei and Chen Yang are dating, you still went and hired someone to assault him. The money I've spent on you these past few years would be better spent feeding pigs!"

"Also, you don't need to worry about your classmate getting involved; I'll get a lawyer to handle it. Lin Wei hasn't come to you, which shows the situation hasn't yet become irreparable."

"From now on, use some brains, or don't blame me for cleaning house!"

After hanging up the call with his father Zhang Daguo, Zhang Jun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought calmly for a while and also felt there was absolutely no need to provoke Lin Wei at this point. So why does he uncontrollably want to deal with Chen Yang?

Right, it's Tang Kun!

That damn thing keeps whispering in his ear all day. He's truly a screw-up who can't accomplish anything but only causes failure.

His whole body aches so much he can't exert any strength; otherwise he'd really want to summon that damn thing and give it a good beating.

And Zhao Shunfa—does that damn thing have paste for brains?

He thought carefully, and it seemed he hadn't done anything to disappoint Zhao Shunfa over these four years. Why would that damn thing insist on lumping him together with Chen Yang as the same person?

At that moment, the 'melon-eating crowd' replied again.

"According to insiders, Zhao Moumou's hitman target was Chen Yang. Exactly, it's that Chen Yang everyone was gossiping about earlier. He, Zhao Moumou, and Zhang Mou are all roommates in the same dorm. What exactly happened between them to make them backstab each other?"

"That goes without saying—beauty brings disaster!"

"Three men backstabbing each other over a woman—what a disgrace to our Xingcheng University!"

"Could it actually be four people backstabing each other over a woman? That overlooked Tang Mou might very well be the informant..."

"1758th floor, spreading rumors isn't illegal, right? If you've got the guts, post your address and we'll settle this face to face." Tangmen Diyi Shuai hammered the keyboard. He just wanted to quietly eat melons, but didn't expect to get dragged in.

"A gentleman settles things with words, not fists. We're all cultured people—don't go around fighting at the drop of a hat. Besides, you've already graduated, yet we're still under school discipline. It's not worth taking a demerit for someone like you."

"You're the petty one! Your whole family is petty! I declare again, I have nothing to do with this!" Tang Kun gritted his teeth in anger, wishing he could burrow into the computer screen and grind to ashes the person who smeared him.

Meanwhile, Chen Yang, seeing the time was about right, turned off the router and redialed into the network, which would give him a new IP address.

This time, he didn't use the 'melon-eating crowd' account, but logged directly into the campus network with his main account.

"Regarding what happened these past two days, I have two points to clarify!"

"First, after in-depth communication, I have decided to further develop my relationship with Miss Lin Wei. Before developing this relationship, both Miss Lin Wei and I were completely single, with no so-called third or fourth party."

"Second, my relationship with classmate Zhao Moumou is that of normal roommates and classmates. Over four years of college, there has been no personal grudge. I don't believe he would hire someone to assault. As far as I know, Zhao Moumou comes from a worker's family; he couldn't possibly come up with a six-figure bounty, not even a five-figure sum. If he really did produce that much money, there's only one possibility: he was acting on someone else's behalf."

"Chen Yang, what do you mean? Are you saying I'm the one pulling the strings?" Zhang Jun had enabled the friend online alert; he immediately spotted Chen Yang. He kept refreshing, and sure enough Chen Yang's post soon appeared. He glanced at the content, and instantly his heart flared with anger.

"I didn't name names; only the guilty would take it personally." Chen Yang replied briefly, not expecting Zhang Jun to fall for the trap so quickly.

As soon as Zhang Jun spoke, the heat of Chen Yang's post instantly surged.

"Normally, the one who should be angriest about Chen Yang and Lin Wei being together is Zhang Mou."

"Exactly, the only one among them who could afford a six-figure bounty would be Zhang Mou."

"So the real mastermind must be Zhang Mou, right?"

"Look how flustered he is—it's obvious he's guilty, as the saying goes, 'no silver here but three hundred taels buried.'"

"Think about it carefully—only Zhang Mou hiring someone to assault Chen Yang makes sense. He has money, can't beat Chen Yang in a fight, so he had to get outside help. Zhao Moumou is likely the one taking the fall."

"What a pity for Zhao Moumou—bad company. Now with a criminal record, his future in the next life is ruined."

"It's fine; Zhang Mou's family is rich, they can support him."

"The rich are the most heartless; maybe after this incident blows over, Zhang Mou will discard Zhao Moumou. How pitiful!"

Zhang Jun was utterly speechless. He truly regretted replying to Chen Yang's post. Now everyone at Xingcheng University suspects him of being the mastermind.

Chen Yang, Chen Yang, why won't you just die!

Chen Yang certainly couldn't die, but he wasn't doing well either. When Lin Wei discovered she too had been dragged in, she immediately launched a torrential assault on Chen Yang. After venting, she gave him a wicked grin.

"You like in-depth communication, right? Well, I'm going home now to have an in-depth conversation with you."

"How about tonight? I'm busy with important matters right now!"

"No, your important matter today is to go home with me for an in-depth conversation."

Chen Yang still wanted to struggle, but Lin Wei gave him no chance—she pulled the network cable, shut down the computer, and forcibly dragged him back to her place.

"What are you two discussing in depth? I want to listen too!" Liu Qingqing also ran after them, but she was a step late and got locked out.

She hurriedly pressed her ear to the door to listen; the more she heard, the more wrong it felt, and the more her face flushed.

"You disgusting hooligan, you damned female hooligan—I hate you!"
