The Taming of the Ruffian Hero

Chapter 169 (A Sudden Sunny Day) Gathered Everyone’s Wisdom and Fought Back

Lin Wenxi knew what kind of negative effects these things would bring to his father. Even worse, the discipline inspection commission might conduct a temporary investigation on his father. Probably, his father would be detained and interrogated.

As soon as he got home, Lin Wenxi chose to kneel before the door and refused to go in.

He had been kneeling there till midnight. Huang Xiya was all in tears. Finally, even Hong Xuan couldn’t bear the scene anymore and interceded for Lin Wenxi so that Lin Ziwei let him in.

The whole family sat together and held a meeting to interrogate Lin Wenxi, who should tell the others everything.

“I told you that Zhao Yuan is not a good person! He led such a good child of us astray!” Huang Xiya appeared to be extremely angry.

“Mom! Stop it, please!” Lin Wenxi was unable to make any more arguments. At this moment, all arguments were unnecessary. When he raised money, he smiled and left others the evidence. As for the exam, he also carelessly left a flaw for his enemy. Moreover, he was easily cheated by Mo Qian and fell into his trap. Lin Wenxi knew that he had done everything wrong. However, hugging Zhao Yuan so passionately was the only thing he didn’t think he did wrong. Lin Wenxi deeply loved that man, heartily.

Two days later.

Lin Ziwei looked at the prepared draft on the table, and exchanged a look with Hong Xuan. Then, he slightly nodded. Meanwhile, Zhao Yuan, Zheng Kai, Shu Xiaoman, Zhang An’an, Wang Xiang, Zhou Nannan, Wang Zhengjuan, and some others all appeared at the door of Lin Wenxi’s home. With solemn looks, they confronted the guards at the door.

Lin Ziwei let Zhao Yuan come in to talk.

When Zhao Yuanqi entered the door, Lin Ziwei violently slapped him in the face and kicked him on his knee heavily. Zhao Yuan knelt on the ground with one knee and straightened up.

“You still don’t know that you are wrong!” Lin Ziwei asked sharply. Suddenly, intense knockings on the door came from Lin Wenxi’s room. And Lin Wenxi kept calling Zhao Yuan’s name.

“Uncle! Wenxi is innocent!” Zhao Yuan’s tears suddenly fell.

“Humph, if you didn’t come to my door yourself, I would have to send people to find you! I know that he is innocent, and everything is your fault! You had a narrow escape from death, so you were too excited. Hence, you expressed the excitement in the wrong way at that time. Am I right?” Lin Ziwei said coldly.

“No, no! I sincerely —”

Then, Lin Ziwei slapped him hard in the face once again. All at once, Zhao Yuan clearly understood his intention.

Lin Ziwei turned red on the face and grabbed Zhao Yuan’s neck. “Evil son!” “Zhao Mingjiang’s evil son!” Soon afterward, he threw a pile of the drafts to Zhao Yuan. Whether Zhao Yuan could accept it or not, what Lin Ziwei said just now would be the only fact!

Zhao Yuan looked at the words on the drafts word by word. It seemed that those words had turned into thousands of ants which were biting him all over. Suddenly, he closed his eyes. “I... accept.”

“I have some documents and videos here for you. I believe these materials can help you.” Zhao Yuan said in a deep tone.

Lin Ziwei checked the materials and then smiled slightly with satisfaction. “Zhao Yuan, if I only consider this thing, you are smart enough! Great minds think alike. You and your classmates made a contribution at last!”

Lin Ziwei immediately pulled a long face. “In previous, my wife always felt that Wenxi should stay far away from you. I understand now that a woman’s sixth sense sometimes can be more effective than logic and evidence. Listen to me carefully, Zhao Yuan. Wenxi will soon be transferred to another school abroad. You must not have any contact with him! Although I investigated your family’s case, I only do this to deal with Chen Tianjiao. It has nothing to do with you and your father! If you still have connections with Wenxi in the future, I will not use Zhao Mingjiang’s case to bring down Chen Tianjiao because I have many other ways to do it. Do you understand?”

“Uncle Lin, my father told me the things you had done before. So did my aunt, my father’s best friend Uncle Zheng Ziheng, and the fisherman in the countryside! I know that you are not such kind of person, so you don’t have to threaten me with these things! No matter what I will do, you will always get to the bottom of the case. Not because you are trying to help me, but because you do all of this only for justice!” Zhao Yuan said with tears.

Lin Ziwei and Hong Xuan could not help feeling surprised at the same time. “This Zhao Yuan, if he were a decent young man, how many outstanding achievements he would get in the future!” In his heart, Hong Xuan even secretly cherished this young talent.

“Justice will come sooner or later. Thank you! So, I cannot agree with your request! You don’t have to support Wenxi and me, but please don’t forcibly intervene against us. Let it be...” Zhao Yuan pleaded. Suddenly, he knelt on the ground with his knees.

“I have heard about the thing about Zheng Ziheng, which is ridiculous, extremely absurd! I will never allow such things to happen to Wenxi! Members of the Lin family will never do such a shameful thing! You’d better be sensible enough and disappear from Lin Wenxi’s side! Even if you cannot accept my suggestion, I can send him as far as I can, and you will never see him again in your life!” Lin Ziwei looked very angry.

“Uncle, that’s all I want to say. I will never do the thing you asked me to do, unless I am dead.” Zhao Yuan smiled slightly and stood up. His solemn eyes landed on Lin Wenxi’s bedroom. Then, he clenched his teeth and left decisively.

“How is everything going? Zhao Yuan?” Shu Xiaoman asked in a hurry.

“You’ve been working hard for us during these days! On behalf of Wenxi, I want to thank every one of you!” Zhao Yuan couldn’t help bowing to all students presented.

Zhang An’an and Zhao Yuan thought and planned with a painstaking effort that very night. Finally, they came up with the idea that could rescue them unexpectedly from a desperate situation.

Wang Xiang spent the whole night weighing the words of the prepared drafts. The moves of public relations and all the media interviews were done by the agency of Zhang An’an. Because she threatened her agency with her future and forced them to help. Moreover, Zhou Nannan and Wang Zhengjuan changed the public opinions of their campus and removed the doubts of those students. Wang Zhengjuan, who was always shy, actually dared to attend various meetings to make a personal example. They told everyone their stories. In this way, more and more people started to understand the things that happened between Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi. To record interviews with video, Wang Zhengjuan provided funds for Zheng Kai to fly to Dongchuan, which was far far away. Zheng Kai found the rescue teams in Dongchuan at that time. He was a man of few words, but he successfully convinced all the rescue teams to come forward and say something to help. Shu Xiaoman carried the heavy equipment she borrowed from Wang Zhengjuan and rushed back and forth between the major universities to clarify the event of fundraising at that time. She was also busy running about the small city. That was why they could get the first-hand interview report from Yangzi County and Tianfu Town.

All of this was done in only two days!

Another day came.

Lin Ziwei must have used very terrifying means.

All the media kept silent.

All the reports about Lin Wenxi disappeared, and all the press and media said the following news.

The Deputy Secretary tried to help people get rid of a scourge, but he faced reprisals. Some people digitally altered the photos of his son and spread the rumors about him. Besides that, there appeared some experts who did technical analyses to those photos on the spot. Those experts also told others how those people altered the photos and how brilliantly they changed the photo. Beyond that, almost on all the major forums, online communities etc., there appeared many technical posts which discussed the effect and the way to alter photos digitally. For a time, the pixelated photos made by enthusiastic netizens could be seen all over the internet. Among them, many new and innovative photos designed by those netizens captured the headlines of the front-page, which greatly reduced the attention to Lin Wenxi.

The descendant of the Lin family raised money for his classmates. He was “exiled” by his sterning father and was sent to teach at a remote and poor area. On the news was an interview video of Zhao Yuan, who explained in detail how Lin Wenxi helped him raise money and how he took care of his self-esteem.

The teaching of the Lin family’s descendant was unanimously praised! On the news were interviews of many villagers who strongly supported Lin Wenxi. They told the audience how Lin Wenxi had spent the three months, during which time he worked all day and night diligently. And they also shot the accommodation condition of Lin Wenxi in detail. Also, there was a video of Zhao Yuan’s aunt Liu Lanhu, in which she showed her thanks to Lin Wenxi with tears.

The descendant of the Lin family combated the quake and carried out relief work. He wrote many reports from the front-line and nearly died there. On the news were the interviews of the leader of Jifu University’s rescue team and the local rescue team of Dongchuan in the field. And there were also their signatures.

The Little Pop Princess came forward to refute a rumor that Lin Wenxi abandoned her. In the video, Zhang An’an accused the rumourmongers in a tearful voice. She also made a solemn apology to Lin Wenxi. As for to whom Zhang An’an confessed on the spot, some busybodies dug everything about this out later. They also found out the secret that Zhang An’an aborted her six-month fetus. In the end, Wang Xiang took the initiative to stand out and apologized to Zhang An’an. Then, the fans of Zhang An’an condemned him both by word of mouth and in writing. Those fans even launched a personal attack on him. But Wang Xiang bore all of that. Thing like that happened later.

Now Lin Wenxi was kept in a twenty square meters room. The bed, the cabinet, the electronic keyboard, and various books were all Lin Wenxi had at this time.

There was no clock, no phone, no computer, or any other electronic equipment. Lin Wenxi didn’t know how long he had stayed in this small room. Only when he needed to go to the bathroom or when he ate meals, he would gently knock on the door three times. Then, Hong Xuan would open the door and let him out. He would watch Lin Wenxi get everything done. At noon every day, Lin Wenxi could spend one hour in the living room reading newspapers or watching the news.

All the local newspapers were placed in front of Lin Wenxi, so he saw everything before him clearly. If it were not for the full support of his classmates in the university, he supposed that his father and Hong Xuan could never do all of this in such a short time. Lin Wenxi suddenly knew why Zhao Yuan came that day.

There was also a big-character newspaper. The title was written in the center of the newspaper, which was extremely striking.

As a Survivor of a Disaster, the Volunteer Zhao Yuan Mistook His Roommates for His Girlfriend.

The picture attached on the news was a screenshot of the video in which Zhao Yuan made a solemn apology.

“The newspaper news had reported the event between a second powerful generation and several men. It turns out it was a big mistake! The newspaper specially set this special column to apologize sincerely to the Lin family with an article enclosed to clarify the facts.

The reporter, “Please describe the situation at the time in detail.”

Zhao Yuan, “I was buried in the ruins for one night. All the things I thought at that time was the situation of my girlfriend. I missed her so much that my body was getting weaker. When I came out of the ruins, I suddenly felt all my eyes could see was shining white and the first person I saw was my roommate. But subconsciously, I took him as my girlfriend and instantly came up to hug him.”

The reporter, “At the time, didn’t your roommates resist?”

Zhao Yuan (with a smile), “He kept cursing me, but I was a man of great strength and I was anxious at that time. Until I felt that something was wrong, I finally let him go.”

The reporter, “Why did you feel wrong?”

Zhao Yuan (touching his head and smiling bitterly), “I touched his Adam’s apple, which greatly frightened me!”

The reporter (smiled understandingly, and turned to Zhao Yuan’s girlfriend), “Are you Zhao Yuan’s girlfriend?”

Zhao Yuan’s girlfriend, “Yes.”

The reporter, “Where were you at that time?”

Zhao Yuan’s girlfriend, “I was right beside him, and I felt quite confused! I let him kneel on a washboard to punish him!”

...

Lin Wenxi only felt the cold had penetrated his bones. He hurriedly turned on the TV and switched to the local television station. The television showed clearly the video of Zhao Yuan.

In the video, Zhao Yuan and Shu Xiaoman stood side by side. While smiling slightly, they bowed and apologized to Lin Wenxi.

It seemed that the directions of all the public opinions were changed overnight. After Lin Wenxi had experienced a two days storm, he suddenly met a sunny day.
