SFS Chapter 160 Family Conflicts?
Chapter 160 Family Conflicts?
Although no names were mentioned, many people thought of Li Mingfeng, the classmate who had recently become addicted to games and spent money like water.
Furthermore, since Su Xiaoyan was a witness when Ning Xiuyang lent money to Li Mingfeng, the implication becomes even clearer.
"Holy crap, you're not talking about Li Mingfeng, are you? I heard about him borrowing 20,000 yuan from Ning Xiuyang to play games!"
"Really? Twenty thousand yuan? That's incredible!"
"That's not all! I heard he even hit someone, and the person he hit was a girl!"
"Holy crap, is this for real? Borrowing money and not only not paying it back, but also assaulting someone? That's utterly despicable!"
Public opinion quickly escalated.
Various rumors and speculations spread rapidly in various groups.
Li Mingfeng slept until noon, and when he groggily opened his phone, he saw the 99+ messages in the group chat.
When he finally understood what everyone was discussing, he was completely dumbfounded.
Feeling guilty, he immediately realized that the person being referred to was him.
"Damn it! Who the hell is messing with me behind my back!" He was so angry that he smashed his phone.
He wanted to curse people in the group, but he was afraid that he would make things worse by explaining himself.
Just when he was at his wit's end, a phone call came in.
It's counselor Pei Jiuling.
"Li Mingfeng, come to my office right now!" The counselor's tone was more serious than ever before.
Li Mingfeng's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling.
He arrived at the counselor's office with trepidation. As soon as he entered, he saw a letter with the law firm's logo on the counselor's desk.
"Li Mingfeng, take a look for yourself." The counselor pushed the lawyer's letter in front of him.
Li Mingfeng picked it up with trembling hands and looked at it; his pupils suddenly contracted.
It's a lawyer's letter from Zhengyang Media!
The content stated that he assaulted Tang Wei, causing damage to Zhengyang Media's business. Zhengyang Media is now going to hold him accountable. The wording was harsh, directly characterizing his behavior as "morally corrupt and depraved," and strongly demanding that the school "expel such a black sheep in order to protect the school's reputation and the safety of the students."
Li Mingfeng was completely dumbfounded.
When did Tang Wei become an artist under Zhengyang Media?
"Expelled...expelled from school?" Li Mingfeng's legs went weak, and he almost lost his balance.
He never imagined things would get this serious!
"This...this is slander! It's defamation!"
He stammered, "I didn't! I just... I just had a little family argument with Tang Wei..."
"As you know, counselor, Tang Wei, she's my sister, we're family!"
"Why make such a big deal out of a family matter? Besides, every family has its own problems. It's not appropriate for the school to get involved!"
Li Mingfeng forced himself to calm down and tried to use this reason to defend himself.
"Family conflict?"
The counselor sneered, "Tang Wei has already been signed by Zhengyang Media and is being groomed as a key talent. Your assault has disrupted the company's plans, and they're now pursuing legal action against you, as well as holding the school accountable! Li Mingfeng, you've really gotten yourself into serious trouble this time!"
Li Mingfeng was completely dumbfounded.
How could Tang Wei, an orphan, possibly be noticed by any media company?
Just then, the office door was pushed open, and two uniformed police officers walked in.
"Excuse me, which one of you is Li Mingfeng?"
The moment Li Mingfeng saw the police, his mind went blank.
All his arrogance and wishful thinking crumbled in the face of that solemn uniform.
"Officer, I...I haven't broken the law..."
His voice was trembling uncontrollably, and his face was as pale as paper.
"We received a report that you are suspected of intentional assault and fraud. Please come with us to assist in the investigation." The lead police officer showed his identification and summons warrant with a blank expression.
"No! I didn't! They framed me!"
As if grasping at a last straw, Li Mingfeng pointed at the lawyer's letter and shouted hysterically, "It's Ning Xiuyang! He framed me! And that bitch Tang Wei too!"
The counselor's face was extremely grim.
"Li Mingfeng! Watch your words!"
However, the police ignored his shouts and stepped forward from both sides, lifting him up.
"If you have something to say, talk about it back at the station."
The news that Li Mingfeng had been taken away from the counselor's office by the police spread like wildfire throughout the entire campus.
Being taken away by the police in full view of everyone is undoubtedly a public execution.
Li Mingfeng is completely "dead".
He was taken to the police station and faced questioning by the police. At first, he stubbornly argued and made excuses, but in the face of sufficient evidence, all his lies seemed pale and powerless.
Tang Wei's injury assessment report, the witness testimonies of Zheng Yumeng and her sister, and even footage of him committing violence captured by a high-definition camera at the entrance of the shopping mall.
Finally, under repeated interrogation by the police, his psychological defenses completely collapsed, and he confessed to everything.
Since Tang Wei's injuries were assessed as minor, they do not constitute a criminal offense, but the illegal act of intentional injury is established.
Furthermore, due to the persistent demands from Zhengyang Media's lawyers, the police ultimately decided to impose an administrative detention of fifteen days and a fine of one thousand yuan on him.
The moment the cold handcuffs were fastened to his wrists, Li Mingfeng truly felt fear.
He's finished.
His life was completely over.
Not only will he be detained and left with a criminal record for life, but the school, facing pressure from Zhengyang Media and such a negative impact, will almost certainly expel him from the school in the first place.
……
Ning Xiuyang, the one who started all of this, was leisurely sitting in front of his hospital bed peeling an apple.
Last night, after completely winning over Shen Youyou, he drove alone to the hospital and stayed with Tang Wei with the Zheng sisters until now.
Shen Youyou didn't come.
Because she couldn't get out of bed.
In actual combat, Ning Xiuyang finally confirmed that this girl did indeed possess some special attributes.
That submissive demeanor, like that of a poodle, was incomparable to the feeling evoked by Rong Qing'e's golden retriever.
After Ning Xiuyang's adjustments, Shen Youyou's attributes were fully unleashed.
I only found out later, during a tender moment.
It turns out that because she had never met her father since she was a child and had always relied on her mother, Shen Yourong, for survival, a seed of admiration for strength was planted in her heart. She needed a man who could appear behind her like a father, dignified, solemn, and authoritative, giving her enough security to control her life.
But beneath her outward appearance, she was ultimately a sensible, obedient girl who listened to her mother.
So she kept this thought to herself.
It was only in high school, when a classmate introduced me to a short story called "The Tale of Slaves," that I became completely engrossed in it and found a place to release this kind of pressure.
Underneath the bed in Shen Youyou's bedroom, there are many similar books and short articles.
Some of them she bought through special channels, and some she copied by hand from the internet.
She fantasized about being the female protagonist in the story, seeking a vague sense of security in the process.
