Zhang Yu in the Mediation Room

"Someone will take you to be questioned later. Just take all the blame according to the previous plan."

"In short, this is just a simple fight between students. You sent people to follow them only to get information about Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen's tutoring."

"Then you should try your best to gain Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen's understanding. It doesn't matter if you have to pay more money. You need to classify this as a normal public order incident."

"Your father assured you that your uncle is, after all, Third-Rank Faith Purple-Gold Merit Lord, and the Zhou Family is a powerful clan in Songyang City. They can handle this; it's just a matter of paying more compensation..."

Listening to the other person's story, Zhou Chechen gave a helpless, bitter smile.

Especially when she recalled that she had previously sent a message to Zhang Yu telling him to apologize to others properly.

Little did he expect that in the blink of an eye he would have to apologize to Zhang Yu and beg the powerful Orthodox God behind him to show leniency.

Zhou Chechen sighed inwardly, "I'm nothing more than a pawn in this game of chess."

"But this Zhang Yu... such a small matter actually managed to get Sixth-Rank True God to personally take action. Just how much does this Orthodox God value him and Bai Zhenzhen?"

Just when Wanxing Group and the Zhou Family were in complete chaos...

Inside the Patrol Bureau.

Zhang Yu was continuing his cultivation in his office.

Although the door was locked, the air conditioning was getting colder and colder, and he was hungry, there was no sign of panic on his face. He simply continued his daily practice methodically.

"After all, the matter has already been handed over to Deng Bingding, and it's no longer my place to interfere."

Zhang Yu knew that there was only one thing he could do now: continue to cultivate diligently and increase his chances of passing the final Foundation Establishment Exam and obtaining the Foundation Establishment Certificate.

Just then, the office door suddenly opened.

Gong Zhe, carrying a large plate of food and two glasses of Beast Protein Milk, said with a beaming smile, "Are you two hungry?"

"There's not much food at the station, so I specially ordered some pre-made meals for delivery. See if you like them."

Seeing Gong Zhe's sudden 180-degree change in attitude, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen exchanged a glance, thinking to themselves that Deng Bingding must have made the move.

Gong Zhe brought the food to the two of them, his face full of enthusiasm, as if he were a completely different person who had coldly questioned Zhang Yu earlier.

Gong Zhe laughed and said, "Eat up, you two, eat while it's hot."

"By the way, our investigation had a lapse. The surveillance footage has been repaired. It wasn't a fight at all; it was indeed Yue Jincheng who tried to steal the phone. You were acting in self-defense."

As he spoke, Gong Zhe thought to himself, "You two, if you had connections with Sixth-Rank True God, you should have spoken up earlier!"

"They actually sealed off the entire Wanxing Group just for these two guys."

At this moment, in Gong Zhe's eyes, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen were already two great Buddhas.

After hearing about the situation at Wanxing Group, Gong Zhe just wanted to get the two of them out as soon as possible.

Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen just chuckled and continued eating without replying to Gong Zhe.

Gong Zhe showed no embarrassment whatsoever, and continued politely, "The matter has been thoroughly investigated. You two are welcome to leave at any time."

Bai Zhenzhen snorted coldly and said, "No need to pay bail?"

Gong Zhe said helplessly, "Gentlemen, it was our mistake before, and I sincerely apologize to you both."

After saying that, he bowed to Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen.

Gong Zhe continued, "The bureau is taking this matter very seriously and will definitely give you both an explanation."

Bai Zhenzhen asked, "What about the person who attacked us? Why don't you bring him back?"

Gong Zhe said helplessly, "That person is now involved in another case..."

Just as Gong Zhe was repeatedly apologizing and trying to comfort Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, someone suddenly knocked on the door and came in to whisper a few words to Gong Zhe.

Gong Zhe's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Gentlemen, the suspect and the mastermind have been caught!"

"However, they wish to apologize to you both in person. I wonder if you would be willing to meet with them?"

Mediation Room.

Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen had just opened the door and walked in when they heard a loud bang.

Yue Jincheng and Si Zhouyu were already kneeling on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly to the two men.

Kneeling on the ground, Yue Jincheng was filled with humiliation. The thought that he, a college student, had to kneel down and apologize to two high school students made him feel that his dignity as a college student had been trampled into the mud.

But thinking of his debts, the difficulty of finding a job, and his parents' hard work, he could only suppress his pain and think to himself, "Yue Jincheng, Yue Jincheng, that's just how the world is. You're just an ordinary college student. The other party has a powerful background; you can't afford to offend them."

Yue Jincheng said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, I attacked you without permission. Please forgive me."

Si Zhouyu, on the other side, knelt on the ground, but didn't feel so burdened. "Isn't it just kneeling down to apologize?"

I knelt down before students with good grades in high school.

When I was in Junior College, I knelt down to college students, to the Second Layer Masters, to my teachers... After starting work, I kneel down to my superiors, to my clients...

She was already used to it.

As for self-respect? What self-respect do Junior College need?

That's something only high school students with good grades, college students from good schools, recent college graduates, and wealthy people from rich families can afford.

Since being kicked out of the Demonstration Class in high school, Si Zhouyu has gradually discarded all those useless things.

Si Zhouyu said sincerely, "Gentlemen, I'm sorry I didn't stop my colleague. This is a huge mistake on my part."

"I am deeply sorry for the inconvenience caused to both of you today."

Si Zhouyu thought to herself, "Kowtowing a few times is fine, just please don't make me pay money."

At the same time, Zhou Chechen, who was standing behind the two, also stepped forward.

He kicked Yue Jincheng hard in the back, then slapped Si Zhouyu across the face, angrily shouting, "Look what you two have done! You've completely disgraced Wanxing Group!"

As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Yu with a sincere expression. "Zhang Yu, I asked the two of them to observe you, just to see where you go for tutoring after school."

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

"I never expected Yue Jincheng to be so impulsive, trying to steal your phone to check your tutoring information."

"Today I'll make them kneel here. You can beat them, discipline them however you want..."

Looking at Zhou Chechen's sincere expression, Zhang Yu recalled the scene when he first met Zhou Chechen, his face also full of sincerity and earnestness.

The other party's claim of gathering information about tutoring classes seemed reasonable, since information about high school tutoring classes was considered important intelligence within the school, and it was common for students to engage in various power struggles because of it.

But Zhang Yu couldn't possibly believe the other party's story at this moment. He could only sigh inwardly, "This guy's acting skills are still as good as ever."

At the same time, Bai Zhenzhen coldly said, "What's the point of beating them up? Will beating them make up for the time we wasted today?"

Zhou Chechen sighed inwardly, "Sigh, these two guys aren't so easy to fool after all. I guess I'll still have to pay them back."

"After all, they're lackeys of the Orthodox God, and they're probably just as greedy for money as the Orthodox God themselves. I wonder how things are going with Father and Uncle's talks with the Orthodox God; I need to get things sorted out on my end as soon as possible."

On the other side, Zhang Yu let Zhou Chechen and Bai Zhenzhen pull him around without saying a word, and instead contacted Deng Bingding.

He will definitely follow the other party's advice on how to handle this matter next.

After hearing Zhang Yu's report, Deng Bingding replied, "What do you think?"

Just then, Fu Ji said, "Let Zhou Chechen pay more compensation on our side."

"The evidence we have so far only shows that the Zhou Family sent people to follow us, which is enough for Deng Bingding to investigate, but not enough to completely destroy the Zhou Family."

"The Zhou Family is deeply entrenched, and without solid evidence, if Deng Bingding insists on pushing things through, she herself will likely pay the price."

"Deng Bingding probably doesn't intend to fight the Zhou Family to the death, but he not only has the guts, but also a great deal of guts to use the Foundation Establishment Exam as a pretext to extort a large sum of money. He's probably already having 'enthusiastic exchanges' with the Upper Level of the Zhou Family."

"But if we insist on letting her investigate thoroughly, it will only make this Orthodox God think we're troublesome."

"Furthermore... if something really goes wrong with the Zhou Family and is discovered, it could be detrimental to us as well."

Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen remembered something Fu Ji had mentioned before.

"Zhou Tianyi, who died after attacking Zhang Yu and suffering a backlash; the Zhou Family, which began to stir after the deaths of Song Xu and the Evil God behind him; and the Evil God that may exist behind Songyang High School..."

"Although there is no concrete evidence, all these clues vaguely point to one possibility: that there may be Evil God behind the Zhou Family."

"Especially according to Zhou Tianyi, the Evil God behind him knows that Zhang Yu also has Evil God."

"If the Evil God behind Zhou Tianyi is the same Evil God god behind the Zhou Family... then we absolutely cannot let Deng Bingding investigate to the end."

"If they really discover the Zhou Family's Evil God, and then expose us as well, things will get complicated."

Zhang Yu nodded slightly. Fu Ji's reminder was something they had already discussed. While the Orthodox God was bleeding the Zhou Family dry, and Deng Bingding was taking advantage of this incident to bite the Zhou Family hard, they also wanted to take some benefits, rather than insisting on fighting the Zhou Family to the death and making things difficult for the Orthodox God.

At that moment, after Zhang Yu replied to Deng Bingding with his thoughts, he received a thumbs-up in response.

Looking at the thumbs-up icon on his phone, Zhang Yu instantly felt confident. Meanwhile, Fu Ji, looking at the thumbs-up, thought to herself, "It seems the pressure on the Orthodox God is going smoothly; the Zhou Family has bowed down quickly this time."

Zhang Yu looked up at Zhou Chechen and the other two and said, "Zhou Chechen, don't think that an apology will make everything alright."

"If you don't satisfy us today, this isn't over."

Gong Zhe coughed and looked at Zhou Chechen, saying, "Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen were just strolling in the park when they were suddenly attacked by one of your company employees. They were not only mentally frightened but also physically injured."

"They shouldn't be studying in the early hours of the morning; they should be wasting their time here with you."

"You're a high school student yourself. Put yourself in my shoes. Don't you think you've suffered a great loss? Don't you need to make amends?"

Zhou Chechen nodded and said, "Zhang Yu, Bai Zhenzhen, I'm willing to offer 100,000 yuan to compensate you for your losses..."

"100,000?" Bai Zhenzhen sneered, "Are you kidding me? If Zhang Yu had connections, he could easily make more than 100,000 just by going to the Red Pagoda Seed Bank a few times."

"Think about it, by this standard, the time you wasted this time could have been used by him several times over."

"No way, you son of a bitch..." Zhang Yu suddenly turned his head to look at Bai Zhenzhen, cursing inwardly, "Is this how you help bid?"

However, Zhang Yu knew this wasn't the time to dwell on such things. He turned to Zhou Chechen and said, "Don't talk to me about money. I'm not short of money. This isn't something money can solve. The emotional trauma you've inflicted on me today is something I'll never be able to heal in my lifetime."
