Marrying My Bestie's Ferocious Brother - He Calls Me His Baby!-Chapter 142 - 141: My Dad Is the Deputy Section Chief! Let’s See Who Dares Touch Me!
The corridor was crowded with students who had come after hearing the commotion, blocking the entrance to the dilapidated classroom completely.
Liu Meiqin’s finger was almost poking Lin Wan Yi’s face, and her voice was sharp and shrill.
"It’s her! Lin Wan Yi!"
"And him! Chen Zhiyuan!" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
"The two of them shamelessly hid in the classroom during broad daylight and even locked the door!"
She turned toward the two security personnel wearing armbands, her face filled with a vengeful delight.
"Comrades! Such disgraceful behavior must be dealt with seriously! This is Beijing University! We cannot let such people tarnish the school’s reputation!"
The two security personnel exchanged a glance, showing a troubled expression.
The slightly older one stepped forward and cleared his throat.
"Classmate, calm down."
"We came because we received a report."
"We need to investigate to understand the situation clearly."
Chen Zhiyuan’s face lost all color as he looked at the growing crowd at the door, unable to stop his body from trembling.
It’s over.
His reputation, his future, everything was finished.
Lin Wan Yi seemed to not hear Liu Meiqin’s accusations.
She didn’t even look at the two security personnel.
Her gaze calmly rested on Chen Zhiyuan’s face.
"Mr. Chen."
Her voice wasn’t loud, yet it pierced through the noisy atmosphere like a needle.
"You tell us."
Chen Zhiyuan suddenly looked up, meeting her gaze.
"Who invited whom here?"
With that sentence, all eyes shifted from Lin Wan Yi to Chen Zhiyuan.
Chen Zhiyuan’s lips trembled, unable to utter a single word.
Liu Meiqin became anxious, rushing forward to grab Chen Zhiyuan’s arm.
"Brother Zhiyuan! What are you afraid of! We all saw it, this vixen seduced you!"
Chen Zhiyuan reacted as if stung by a scorpion, violently shaking off her hand.
"Don’t touch me!"
He took a big step back, distancing himself from Liu Meiqin, his face suddenly displaying a mix of grief and indignation.
He turned to the security personnel, his voice trembling slightly from agitation.
"Comrades! You have to believe me!"
"I don’t know her at all!"
He pointed at Liu Meiqin, his eyes filled with disgust and scorn.
"It’s her! It’s always been her!"
"Classmate Liu Meiqin has been pestering me relentlessly, even after I repeatedly refused her. She turned her love into hate!"
"This afternoon, she somehow heard that I invited Classmate Lin to discuss academic questions and then schemed this whole scenario to ruin my reputation, and also Lin’s!"
The crowd erupted in uproar upon hearing this.
Liu Meiqin was utterly stunned, staring at Chen Zhiyuan in disbelief.
"Brother Zhiyuan... what are you saying?"
Chen Zhiyuan didn’t even glance at her, continuing to address everyone with a heart-wrenching expression.
"I know, speaking out can damage a female classmate’s reputation. But I can’t let innocent Classmate Lin be implicated!"
"I swear, inviting Classmate Lin here today was solely because I couldn’t solve a probability theory problem and wanted to seek her guidance!"
"Who knew as soon as I entered the classroom, Liu Meiqin rushed in with people!"
In the crowd, several math department students began whispering to each other.
"I think... I’ve indeed seen Liu Meiqin looking for Chen Zhiyuan at the library several times."
"I’ve seen it too, last time Chen Zhiyuan was doing questions, she stood by his side for over half an hour."
Listening to the surrounding discussions, Liu Meiqin shook with anger.
"You’re lying! Chen Zhiyuan, you’re talking nonsense! Clearly, it’s you who asked me..."
"When did I ask you to do anything?"
Chen Zhiyuan interrupted her, pressing forward step by step.
"Did I ask you to bring security personnel to slander me? Liu Meiqin, how can your heart be so malicious?"
"I..."
Liu Meiqin found herself speechless under his questioning, tears streaming down from her eyes in desperation.
At this moment, Lin Wan Yi’s voice rang out again, still calm and unwavering.
"Classmate Liu."
She looked at Liu Meiqin.
"Did you say we locked the door?"
Liu Meiqin, like grasping at a lifeline, immediately nodded.
"Yes! Exactly! You felt guilty, so you locked the door, I saw it with my own eyes!"
Lin Wan Yi smiled.
She turned to look at the two security personnel who hadn’t spoken.
"Comrades."
"I want to ask."
"When you came in just now, was the door locked with a bolt from inside?"
The two security personnel were taken aback.
Lin Wan Yi continued questioning, her voice clear and logical.
"Did you break the lock or open the door with a key?"
"Or did you just push lightly and the door opened?"
The corridor was silent.
Everyone was watching the two security personnel, waiting for their answer.
The older one, under the gaze of the crowd, awkwardly opened his mouth.
"The door... wasn’t locked."
"We simply pushed and went in."
"Boom—"
The crowd went wild.
"So the door wasn’t locked after all!"
"Then Liu Meiqin is lying, isn’t she?"
"Oh my, isn’t this like a thief crying ’Stop thief!’?"
Liu Meiqin’s face turned as pale as paper.
All her accusations stood on the detail of "locking the door."
Now that this detail had been overturned, all her previous shouting became a joke.
She couldn’t hold on any longer and slumped to the ground.
Just when everyone thought this farce was about to end.
An authoritative reprimand sounded at the end of the corridor.
"What are you all doing here! Aren’t you supposed to be in study session?"
The crowd automatically parted, forming a path.
A fifty-something, pot-bellied middle-aged man wearing an official uniform walked over with his hands behind his back.
He was Liu Meiqin’s father, Deputy Director of the Logistics Department, Liu Jian Country.
As soon as Liu Jian Country entered the room, he saw his daughter sitting on the ground crying, his face instantly turned somber.
"Meiqin! What’s going on!"
Seeing her dad, Liu Meiqin felt she found an ally and crawled frantically over, hugging his leg and crying.
"Dad! They bullied me! They all bullied me!"
Liu Jian Country helped his daughter up, his gaze coldly scanning Lin Wan Yi and Chen Zhiyuan in the classroom.
He turned to the security personnel, his tone filled with dissatisfaction from someone in a superior position.
"What’s going on? Can’t even handle a small matter?"
"Letting students make such a fuss in the teaching building, what is your Security Department doing!"
The older security personnel quickly stepped forward, trying to explain.
"Vice Director Liu, it’s like this, we’ve discovered through investigation..."
"Discovered what!"
Liu Jian Country didn’t listen, interrupting him bluntly.
"All I see is my daughter being wronged!"
He pointed at Lin Wan Yi and Chen Zhiyuan, making a categorical conclusion.
"A man and a woman, alone in a room, it’s an extremely bad influence!"
"This matter cannot be let go just like that!"
Using a commanding tone, he directed the security personnel.
"You two, take them to the Security Department right now!"
"They must be isolated and investigated! Thoroughly check what exactly their relationship is, and if there are others involved behind the scenes!"
The security personnel’s faces changed, reluctantly responding.
"Vice Director Liu, this... without evidence, it doesn’t comply with regulations..."
"Regulations?"
Liu Jian Country sneered, leaning close to his ear, lowering his voice.
"My words are the regulation."
"If you don’t want your housing subsidy next month to have issues, do as I say."
The security personnel’s face turned instantly pale.
He straightened his stance, the expression of difficulty disappearing from his face, replaced by a demeanor of strict official conduct.
He turned to Lin Wan Yi, gesturing ’please,’ his tone cold and hard.
"Classmate Lin, Mr. Chen."
"Please."
"Come with us to the Security Department, take a trip."
