My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot
Chapter 425: Warning

Chapter 425: Chapter 425: Warning

"And even if it’s not for business discussions, coming to the Imperial Capital and buying a few fashionable outfits is normal."

"But do you all really believe that man is Lu Youxu, their village chief?" someone suddenly asked.

"Why not believe it? He explained the whole situation so clearly, do we have to be maliciously skeptical?"

"Wait a minute, whether he is their village chief or not, couldn’t we just ask Lu Youbang and find out?"

Someone suddenly sneered, "Heh, during this morning’s classes, a classmate who shared the same class with Lu Youbang already asked him. Guess what happened?"

"What happened? Just spit it out, don’t keep us in suspense."

"Lu Youbang said he doesn’t recognize the man," the person sneered, "Could Lu Youbang not recognize his own village chief?"

"So it’s either Lu Youxi is lying, or Lu Youbang is lying."

"Lu Youxi lying? Lying to the school? Honestly, if the school investigates, they could quickly verify if that person is the village chief or not. Lu Youxi lying to the school would be too risky."

"I believe in Lu Youxi, though. So far, Lu Youxi has at most been bluffing, not outright lying like Lu Youbang."

"Indeed, Lu Youbang has a history of lying."

"However, is it possible that the school, to preserve Lu Youxi’s reputation, would continue to insist, even after investigation, that the man is the village chief, following Lu Youxi’s excuse?" someone raised another objection, "After all, during the previous school anniversary, the school awarded Lu Youxi and highly praised her."

"If Lu Youxi really crashes and burns, the school gets slapped in the face too," someone said.

"We’ll see what happens," someone remarked, "I always feel like this isn’t over yet."

"Heh heh, I’m going to go ask Lu Youbang again if he recognizes the village chief now," someone chuckled deviously.

"Still asking?"

"This morning, when I asked him, the school hadn’t made a statement yet, and he said that man wasn’t the village chief," that person said, "But now the school has made a statement, claiming he is the village chief, so I’m curious what Lu Youbang’s stance is now."

"Right, right, right."

It wasn’t just this student—after the school released the statement, all the classmates in the same course with Lu Youbang had the same idea.

At this moment, a male student sitting next to Lu Youbang, as if affected by some sort of awe-inspiring syndrome, leaned over and asked directly, "Lu Youbang, have you seen the statement issued by the school?"

Lu Youbang: "..."

"The statement from the school says that the man who was with Lu Youxi at the mall buying clothes is your village chief," the male student said, completely ignoring Lu Youbang’s indifference, "Didn’t you say this morning that you don’t recognize him?"

"You’ve lived in your village for eighteen years; it’s not like you could have forgotten what your village chief looks like after just two years in the Imperial Capital, right?" the male student asked with a smile, "So, is he or is he not your village chief?"

"I’m not sure," Lu Youbang replied indifferently.

Originally, Lin Jingshen had arranged with him to post on the forum to escalate the issue with Lu Youxi, and then Lu Youbang would come forward to prove Lu Youxi’s true colors, becoming the final straw to break Lu Youxi.

But now, the school had quickly released a statement before the issue could escalate, and Lu Youbang hadn’t even had the chance to come forward.

However, Lu Youbang felt a bit relieved that he had not come forward yet.

Otherwise, he would have accused Lu Youxi one moment, and then the school’s statement would have slapped him in the face the next.

Neither he nor Lin Jingshen expected the school’s statement to come so quickly.

An incident from the morning resulted in a statement by the afternoon.

Could the school really investigate that fast?

"No, you’re telling me you’re not even sure if he is your village chief?" the male student pressed, "It’s only been two years since you’ve come to the Imperial Capital, you couldn’t possibly have forgotten what the village chief looks like."

"The photo was too distant, and the person was blurred," Lu Youbang made an excuse, "What I said this morning was also based on it not looking like him."

"With such a blurry photo, I can’t be sure if it’s the village chief or not."

The student thought to himself that Lu Youbang had found a reasonable excuse.

"By the way, the school’s statement also mentioned that they would conduct an investigation to find the person who made the defamatory posts about Lu Youxi. While seeking justice for Lu Youxi, the school also won’t allow people to slander others at will. Whether it’s someone from outside the school or inside the school."

"If it turns out to be a student from Jing University, the school will definitely impose severe punishment," the male student looked at Lu Youbang.

If it really was a defamation of Lu Youxi, he felt that Lu Youbang was the most likely suspect.

After saying this, the male student carefully observed Lu Youbang’s reaction.

Lu Youbang struggled to control his expression and indeed did not let the other person see anything amiss.

But as soon as class ended, Lu Youbang hastily dashed out of the classroom, quickly found a secluded spot, and made a call to Lin Jingshen.

"Did you see the statement the school released?" Lu Youbang held his phone, cautiously checked to make sure no one was around, still covered his mouth, and spoke in a hushed voice.

"I saw it," Lin Jingshen’s voice sounded unconcerned.

"What if the school’s investigation finds out what we did?" Lu Youbang asked nervously.

"If I’m not nervous, why are you?" Lin Jingshen sneered mockingly, belittling Lu Youbang’s lack of courage, "The person was found by me, the deed was done upon my instruction, the money came from me. Even the post was made in an internet cafe outside of school by someone I instructed."

"What can they find out? Even if they trace the IP of the post to the internet cafe, and then to that person, so what? That person took the money, so the matter ends with him, he won’t reveal me." Lin Jingshen paused, "And you, I originally wanted you to stand with me in accusing Lu Youxi. Aside from that, there’s nothing else for you to do."

"But you didn’t stand up, did you?" Lin Jingshen spoke mockingly, "It’s as if you’ve done nothing in this matter. What are you worried about?"

Lu Youbang: "..."

He had been frightened by the statement released by the school and really hadn’t thought about that.

After hearing Lin Jingshen’s reasoning, Lu Youbang realized that he really might be in the clear.

Lu Youbang breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I’m fine."

After speaking, he feigned concern for Lin Jingshen, "And you’re fine too, right?"

"Even if I weren’t, could you help me or what?" Lin Jingshen mocked.

He really looked down on Lu Youbang and couldn’t help but be sarcastic when talking to him.

"Heh heh," Lu Youbang chuckled dryly, "I really can’t do much, but I trust your methods are sure to be flawless."

Lu Youbang hung up the phone and felt relieved.

At the same time today, the headquarters of Yuehaolai also received a warning from Zhou Shuyan.
