Chapter 20: Don't show off!

"Professor Ruan, are you really going to say nothing and let him use these crooked theories to mock people?"

Seeing that she couldn't win against He Chen, Fang Yifan's mother could only loudly question Ruan Lu, who was standing behind He Chen.

"They are all grown up and have their own ideas." Ruan Lu gently pulled He Chen, who was standing in front, letting him move aside, and looked back at Fang Yifan's mother.

"Instead of blaming others, it's better to reflect on yourself! He Chen's tone is a bit intense, but among young people, who isn't a bit hot-blooded? At the very least, he never takes the initiative to throw a punch at the slightest disagreement.

And everyone says he's too extreme, but if one's conduct is upright, or even if one doesn't break the law, what is there to worry about?

These things he said, they don't sound good at first, but if you think about them carefully, they aren't entirely without reason.

We adults, if we can't even refute these reasonable words, what else is there to say?

It's better to disperse, do what we need to do, and go back to think carefully about how to set an example for the young people.

Li Laoshi, what do you think?"

"..." This was the second time in 24 hours she had talked to Professor Ruan, but Ruan Lu's attitude let Li Tiegun know exactly where He Chen's unscrupulous confidence came from.

It was clearly Ruan Lu's indulgence.

She had previously thought, 'How could Professor Ruan, a dignified professor at a prestigious university, adopt someone like He Chen?' Now it seemed that it was precisely because they were birds of a feather that Professor Ruan adopted He Chen and was so doting and shielding!

Thinking of this, although she felt a genuine trace of fear toward He Chen, she couldn't help but feel the stifling frustration in her heart when Ruan Lu took the initiative to bring up the topic and so many people were watching. She said: "Although He Chen's parent's words have some truth, one cannot only look at others and not look at oneself.

He Chen says Fang Yifan became what he is today because of his parents' personality and habits.

Then where did He Chen's current radicalism come from?

And He Chen says that if Fang Yifan keeps going like this, he will suffer a big loss sooner or later, then what about He Chen himself?

He Chen's parent, I hope you will think about these things carefully after you go back.

You are a professor at a prestigious university; I assume you will be better at reflecting on these principles than we are!

Professor Ruan, what do you say?"

"Li Laoshi, you are right!" Ruan Lu held back He Chen, who clearly wanted to retort again, and nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Aunt Ruan wouldn't let him speak again, He Chen thought for a moment and decided to listen to her.

Firstly, to give Aunt Ruan this face, and secondly, he couldn't keep roasting her like this; otherwise, if he roasted Li Tiegun until she was numb and her threshold became too high, it would be hard to achieve a ten-fold or hundred-fold revenge.

It had only been 24 hours; there was still a whole year left!

With Li Tiegun's style of doing things, which made it impossible for people to respect her in those melodramatic TV shows, there would be plenty of opportunities to roast her in the future!

Letting her relax a little was just to accumulate energy for a more intense emotional outburst next time!

As for him always looking like he was roasting people and being too extreme?

No way!

The character settings and values in various domestic melodramatic TV shows were all wrong. Just a little thought would reveal how distorted they were, full of the arrogance of Western-style rich people who wanted to do whatever they wanted, yet all thought they were correct and expected everyone to accept it as a matter of course from the bottom of their hearts!

Relaxed comedies were relaxed comedies for rich people, just like experts saying that renting a house and driving a taxi would definitely lead to a successful life.

He was very certain that even if he sent Fang Yifan's father in reasonably, legally, and legitimately this time, and he lost his job with a criminal record, it wouldn't really have much of an impact on Fang Yifan's family.

Rich families were different from poor people. With the ability of Fang Yifan's father, who hadn't even passed the bar exam in middle age, he would most likely stage a "reverse life" of driving a taxi and delivering food, and could still have all sorts of miraculous encounters to make a comeback.

If ordinary people believed it and felt a sense of immersion, thinking they could do it too, they would be tortured by this kind of toxic chicken soup until they were miserable. It would definitely not be relaxed, and there would be no happy ending. It was more likely they would suddenly die in some corner one day, making people sigh, and that would be the end of it.

The details in these melodramatic, relaxed, and happy-ending TV shows that inadvertently revealed the philosophy of life of the rich and their attitude toward the general public were the true reality!

It could be said that the consciousness of the entire world was distorted. For someone with slightly normal values and a bit of backbone and temper, it would be abnormal not to roast heaven, roast earth, and roast the air.

He Chen was already considered restrained; he couldn't be counted as "He the Roaster"!

Aside from the protagonist group favored by the distorted heavenly consciousness, and those who had real problems, were used to being arrogant, and took the initiative to jump out to show off and provoke him, who had he roasted among ordinary people?

The two police officers had been background boards before, letting them argue without saying a word. Now, seeing that the dust had settled and reconciliation was impossible, they could only act according to the rules and invite Fang Yifan's father to the police station to make a statement.

"Mr. Fang, leniency for confession and severity for resistance. You work in legal affairs, so you should be very clear about this. Don't waste police resources; make a good statement and tell the truth one by one.

Otherwise, when the appraisal results come out, a fake statement will also lead to a heavier sentence!"

Having said this, he looked at the two police officers: "Two police uncles, that 'leniency for confession, sit in jail until the end; severity for resistance, go home for the New Year' is just a rumor, right?"

"Of course!" The two officers twitched the corners of their mouths and solemnly stated their principles and policies.

This made Fang Yifan's family feel even more like they were mourning the dead.

If they confessed, it would be completely confirmed, and there would be no time to maneuver.

If they didn't confess, making a statement now would be recorded in the file. With He Chen watching so closely, it was really possible to get a heavier sentence.

Plus, he worked in legal affairs and knowingly broke the law. It was very likely that the criminal detention wouldn't be a suspended sentence under normal circumstances, but that he would really have to go in for a walk!

The two officers led Fang Yifan's father away. Fang Yifan's mother gave a few instructions to Fang Yifan, who already had red eyes, and asked Li Tiegun to look after him, then hurried out.

When they reached a place where no one was around, Fang Yifan's mother immediately stopped the three of them and said to the two officers: "Police comrades, I just want to say a few words to him."

As she spoke, she said to her husband, who was forcing a smile to comfort her: "Don't worry, you didn't do it on purpose; you shouldn't be treated like this. It's all because that little bastard insisted on causing trouble. I'm going to find your childhood friend Ji Shengli now; he's the district mayor here, and he won't let you be wronged!"

As she spoke, she kept glancing at the two officers.

The two officers looked at each other.

Both knew that these words were meant for her husband, but even more so for them.

The childhood friend of the newly arrived Deputy District Mayor Ji indeed had to be treated with caution.

Fang Yifan's mother observed their expressions, and seeing that it seemed to have an effect, she gave her husband a few more instructions and hurried toward the consultation fair venue.

She didn't have Ji Shengli's phone number and could only pray that he hadn't left yet and could be blocked by her; otherwise, she wouldn't be able to find him even if she wanted to.

Principal's office.

Fang Yifan's mother first went to the consultation fair venue but couldn't find anyone. Then she remembered that the principal had led Ji Shengli and the others to the school's archives to visit the school's history, so she hurried over.

But there was no one left.

Anxious, she simply sneaked to the principal's office, knocked on the door, and as soon as she saw the principal, she hurriedly asked about Ji Shengli's whereabouts.

When the principal saw this posture, he understood and directly informed her that District Mayor Ji was busy with a thousand tasks and had already left the school.

He couldn't help but complain in his heart: if he could, wouldn't he want to keep the district mayor for a while longer?

It was really impossible to keep him.

The only link, District Mayor Ji's eldest son, Ji Yangyang, was still playing the rebellious card. Not to mention the consultation fair, he didn't even participate in the balloon-releasing segment and slipped away directly.

The main person wasn't there, so District Mayor Ji was willing to stay for that little while and visit with him; he had already given enough face, hadn't he?

Fang Yifan's mother begged the principal to give her District Mayor Ji's phone number, but the principal had already seen that District Mayor Ji was only being polite to them. Seeing that he didn't even have a private number, it was even more impossible to agree, so he directly and tactfully refused.

Over there.

Ji Yangyang's parents had just left the school in a special car.

The two were sitting in the back row, and Ji Shengli was hugging his arms and still sighing: "Today I saw a friend from my childhood. At that time, he got into the University of Political Science and Law first, and I didn't. I was very sad, so I thought I must also get into the University of Political Science and Law like him, so I repeated a year. That year was really hard work, and finally, I got in. He studied law, and I studied administrative management. We weren't in the same grade, so we had less contact."

"No wonder! I saw you weren't very enthusiastic toward him." Ji Shengli's wife, Liu Jing, teased: "You even called him by his nickname; I think you've even forgotten his surname. You're so old, yet you're still pretending to be close!"

"He seems to be called... Fang Yuan, yes, Fang Yuan! He was quite handsome when he was young, and talented. He was the backbone of the school's arts, and we all admired him quite a bit back then." Ji Shengli thought for a while before remembering Fang Yifan's father's name, sighing at the old times.

"Sigh, we didn't even leave contact information! Next time if we see him, we must take the initiative to ask for contact information. Don't let it seem like we aren't proactive, enthusiastic, or close to the masses, right?"

As soon as the words fell, Liu Jing's phone rang. After answering and listening, she looked at her husband with a strange expression.

They were old married couple; one look at each other and they knew what it meant.

Ji Shengli was immediately stunned.

He had just condescendingly said some official jargon, and the masses were about to get close to him, but in a way he didn't want... ===== CHAPTER 21 =====
