Chapter 140: Rumors Flying Everywhere

The two women were dumbfounded; how could the Student Union recruit such a person? A mere Vice Minister had such an arrogant air, and wouldn't even let people speak.

Unable to accept being removed from his post, he even spent money to find thugs to waylay someone.

You're so full of yourself, why don't you just fly up to the sky!

Wu Yueer was so angry she was rolling up her sleeves, wishing she could immediately give Zhou Qing a good beating.

"Well countered, Shen Yan. I really admire your personality of fighting back when you're not satisfied; it's so manly."

"And that Minister Chen Xiaowei, she's got guts. Why keep someone like that around instead of firing them?"

Compared to Wu Yueer's straightforwardness, Chen Shanni was much more reserved. After pondering for a moment, Chen Shanni asked softly: "In a situation like Zhou Qing's, how does the Police Station usually handle it?"

Her words seemed to carry a trace of worry and unease.

After all, he has a prior record; what if he is handled poorly, and Zhou Qing loses his head and does something even more extreme?

Shen Yan said: "I estimate there isn't much they can do to Zhou Qing. At most, he'll get a few days of administrative detention, they'll notify the school, and he'll get a Demerit or something. After all, I'm sitting here completely unharmed."

"If I had suffered light or serious injuries, he would definitely have to be sent in for a few years of reform."

Wu Yueer looked incredulous; that would be letting that bastard off too easily. Shen Yan helplessly spread his hands; that is just how the law is written.

However, even if there is no way to send Zhou Qing inside, that guy's reputation is completely ruined, which can be considered a small consolation.

As for whether he will face retaliation in the future, as long as he has even a shred of rationality, that guy shouldn't do it, otherwise the consequences...

Chen Shanni said worriedly: "Then you must be careful in the future. If Zhou Qing loses his head, he might do something even crazier."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

The ins and outs of the hired assault incident were clear and simple, and the police were highly efficient. That same night, half an hour before the dormitory closed, Zhou Qing was taken to the Police Station for questioning.

To be honest, the moment the police entered the door, Zhou Qing was completely stunned.

Didn't they say they hadn't intercepted the person and had retreated?

How did they sell him out directly?

"Comrade police, this matter has nothing to do with me. I don't know any thugs at all."

"I've been wronged!"

Facing Zhou Qing's cries of injustice, the police were long since unfazed. "Whether you're wronged or not, we'll know after you come back with us for an investigation. We won't wrong a good person, nor will we let a bad person go."

Zhou Qing: "..."

Watching Zhou Qing being taken away by several police officers, the boys' dormitory completely exploded, and then the news spread like wildfire throughout Hangzhou University.

Although it was only bits and pieces, one could roughly judge from the police that Zhou Qing had a conflict with someone named Shen Yan, and afterwards, out of resentment, he found people to waylay Shen Yan.

At first, the news was relatively normal, but later the rumors rolled like a snowball, becoming more and more outrageous, eventually becoming unrecognizable.

"Hey! Have you heard? That guy named Zhou Qing from the Economic College in his sophomore year was taken away by the police. It's said to be for hiring someone to cause injury."

"I heard Zhou Qing from the Economic College beat someone until they were crippled."

"What? Zhou Qing was caught for soliciting prostitutes?"

"Zhou Qing was caught for murder? Is it true?"

"Damn! Zhou Qing is so ruthless, he didn't even spare an old lady."

The rumors were varied and bizarre, shocking everyone to the core.

As for those who were familiar with Zhou Qing, their jaws nearly hit the floor, especially the staff members of the Art Department, who were dumbfounded. After much inquiry, they finally figured out the ins and outs.

It was just because Shen Yan and Zhou Qing had a verbal altercation, and Zhou Qing couldn't let it go, so he found people to waylay Shen Yan afterwards, eventually leading to the police being called, which is why Zhou Qing was taken away by the police.

Art Department QQ group.

Jiang Yingyu: "My god! Zhou Qing is too crazy. Over a small verbal dispute, he actually found thugs to waylay someone."

Huang Ying: "Exactly. Who knows how Shen Yan is doing now?"

Passerby A: "It's reached the point of calling the police, he's probably not lightly injured."

Passerby B: "So scary!"

Zuo Qingfeng: "@Shen Yan, are you okay?"

Chen Xiaowei: "Shen Yan sent me a message earlier; he is safe and sound, everyone need not worry."

Jiang Yingyu: "That's good, that's good!"

Girls' Dormitory Building 9, Room 602.

In the pitch-black environment, Yu Youwei was lying on her bed comfortably playing with her phone. Upon learning the news, she was scared out of her wits, and only after verifying it over the phone did she finally set her heart at ease.

Luo Qiqi asked: "Youwei, listening to your phone call just now, did something happen to Shen Yan?"

Yu Youwei indignantly recounted the sequence of events and complained: "Qiqi, how can there be such a person? Clearly, he was the one who made the mistake first, yet he still has the face to blame others."

"My god! That's so scary!"

Later, the matter spread to the boys' Dormitory 115, Law Class One, and even the entire Law School.

Only then did everyone know that the protagonist of tonight's incident was Shen Yan.

The next morning, heavy rain fell from the sky like silver threads, instantly turning the earth into an ink wash painting, and the whole world became blurred.

Raindrops pelted against the window, making a "patter" sound, waking Shen Yan from his sleep.

He took out his phone and looked: 7:10.

"Sigh! How can one attend class in this ghostly weather? Might as well skip it."

Having found a suitable excuse for himself, just as Shen Yan prepared to close his eyes and continue sleeping soundly, his phone dinged.

Hao Anqi: "Such heavy rain, don't want to go to class, crying!"

Shen Yan: "Then don't go. I wasn't even planning on getting up."

Hao Anqi: "I'm afraid of failing the course (pitiful)"

Shen Yan: "Just send any roommate to the classroom, answer 'Here! Here! Here!' during roll call, and that's it."

Hao Anqi: "Hee hee! Wouldn't that get discovered?"

Wu Yueer sent a message at the same time: "What to do, I don't want to go to class!"

Shen Yan: "Go to sleep, once you wake up everything will be fine."

Wu Yueer: "Shanni doesn't want to skip class, how about you drive us to the classroom?"

Shen Yan: "Make me a bowl of egg noodles, and I'll consider it."

"Alright! We'll eat in ten minutes."

Before long, Shen Yan finished washing up and arrived at Room 801 next door.

Unexpectedly, the one busy in the kitchen was actually Chen Shanni.

Her shoulder-length pink-brown hair was particularly eye-catching.

She wore a white hoodie on her upper body, simple yet stylish, and paired it with light blue jeans on her lower body; the tight design perfectly outlined the lines of her long, straight legs, and she wore a khaki long knit cardigan over the outermost layer, giving off a warm and comfortable feeling while also adding a touch of elegance and intellect.

Two minutes later, three steaming bowls of noodles were placed on the dining table; the eggs on top looked like golden clouds, the presentation was surprisingly good, the heat was controlled just right, and the aroma was mouth-watering.

Shen Yan said in surprise: "Shanni, you can cook?"

"I've been learning to cook noodles with Yue'er recently, and today I just happened to try my hand at it." Chen Shanni's cheeks were slightly red, and her small hands gently pinched the hem of her clothes.
