?39: Chapter 38: Then I’ll Just Put You Back Under the Wheels 39: Chapter 38: Then I’ll Just Put You Back Under the Wheels The girl still felt lingering fear when she thought about the close call just a moment ago.

    But what confused her even more was that the person who had saved her was the very one she meant to harm!

    She couldn’t understand, “What I’ve done could have ruined you.”

    “Because ‘Heaven has virtue, favoring the good.''”

    Chu Yi stood up and said.

    If you really had been hit, how would I know who was behind it all?

    The girl was stunned for a moment, her heart filled with mixed emotions, and her expression unavoidably grew complex.

    At that moment, the people present also snapped to their senses.

    The scene from just now was still fresh in their minds, thinking about it made them feel incredibly anxious.

    But once they came back to their senses, the reporters suddenly looked at each other in dismay.

    “Are we…

    are we still taking this job?”

    For them, who knew the inside story, it was hard not to give a thumbs up to the criminal of the event who had selflessly saved the victim.

    If it were them who were framed, even taking pleasure in another’s misfortune would be good enough, let alone risking their life to save someone—don’t even think about it.

    It was precisely because of this that Chu Yi’s image in their hearts suddenly became noble.

    Moreover, there were surveillance cameras around and the police as witnesses, the prepared statements, even if released, were too easily refuted.

    So, after a moment of contemplation…

    “Let’s go, return the deposit, we’re not taking this job.”

    “Huh?

    Really quitting?

    What about the hundred thousand yuan?”

    “Are you stupid?

    With that surveillance footage out there, your hundred thousand won’t be enough to cover the damages.”

    “Not necessarily, right?

    As long as the victim insists, even with surveillance footage, it could be said that he was seeking forgiveness, or even trying to drag the victim to death with him.”

    “Well, you go try then, I’m not getting involved anymore.”

    …

    After a brief low-voiced debate among themselves, the reporters left one after another, and in the blink of an eye, they were all gone.

    The money was too hot to handle, a slight mistake could lead to self-sacrifice, not worth the risk.

    “Why did they leave?!”

    Not far away, Zheng Jiahao watched this scene, nearly smashing his phone in frustration.

    At that moment, Big Brother Shan received a call from some self-media reporters, he grunted a few times and then hung up.

    Afterward, he said indifferently, “There’s been a little hiccup, the reporters are afraid of the fire backfiring, they won’t take the job.”

    “What should we do then?

    I’ve spent the money, and all for this tiny stir?”

    Zheng Jiahao stared at Big Brother Shan, hissing angrily, “I want him completely disgraced, not just this little scuffle!”

    Big Brother Shan patted his shoulder, “Relax, since I took your money, I naturally won’t take it for nothing.

    If not this time, there will be a next time; what’s the hurry?”

    “Next time?

    When’s that?”

    “Within a week!” Big Brother Shan assured him, “Also, I’ve had someone edit and post something on the forum of your school.

    We couldn’t blow this up, but in your school, he’s already dishonored.”

    Upon hearing this, Zheng Jiahao immediately took out his phone and logged into the school’s forum.

    Indeed, a brand-new post was pinned to the top.

    “To think we have such a person in our school, such a disgrace!”

    Opening it, there was a narrative filled with embellishments, describing Chu Yi as a man with a beast’s heart, insatiable and morally bankrupt.

    Below it was a video clip of Chu Yi being brought out of the car by Wang Jianye, followed by the interview with reporters.

    From this information alone, Chu Yi seemed utterly despicable.

    However…

    “Damn, isn’t he Han Lingyue’s boyfriend?

    How could he do such a thing?”

    “No way?

    Each of the three girls is prettier than the last, he can’t even get enough of them, so why go out for a picnic?”

    “I really don’t believe it, that victim is nowhere near Han Lingyue, he wouldn’t leave the delicacies of the mountains and seas to go do something like that.”

    …

    In the comments, the classmates were almost unanimously skeptical.

    Especially after seeing the blurry photo of the victim, they were even less convinced.

    Han Lingyue, Li Xin, the new Feng Qian, just pick any one of them: if not prettier, then they surely have better figures than her.

    Would any normal man let three stunning beauties go untouched, only to recklessly go after someone far less attractive than them?

    Zheng Jiahao flipped through a couple of pages of comments and couldn’t help but twitch with anger, veins on his hand holding the phone popping, teeth grinding with a creaking sound.

    “Is this what you call ‘ruined reputation’?”

    Shan Ge read the comments and fell silent for a few seconds.

    “This is indeed beyond my expectations,” he admitted.

    Who the hell would have thought this guy had three gorgeous women to keep him company!

    If I had known this, I wouldn’t have used this method.

    To accuse him of violating a girl who doesn’t even measure up to half his girlfriend, who would believe that!

    “What should we do?” Zheng Jiahao asked, barely suppressing his rage.

    After pondering for a moment, Shan Ge said, “You haven’t given me enough information.

    I need to investigate thoroughly before I can come up with a plan.”

    “How long?”

    “About two weeks.”

    “Then I’ll wait for you for two weeks.

    If there’s still a problem…”

    “Don’t worry.”

    …

    While those two were still scheming, a dramatic scene unfolded at the entrance of the hospital. Sёarch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    “I withdraw the lawsuit.”

    Hearing the girl’s announcement, Wang Jianye’s face twitched, and he suddenly felt an urge to hit someone.

    You were the one who called us here, you were the one who made all the assurances, and you were the one who wanted the tests—now you suddenly want to back out?

    “Young lady, do you know the consequences of making a false report?” Wang Jianye asked in a stern voice.

    To his complete surprise, the girl reached out and pulled out a formal medical report confirming a psychiatric disorder…

    “I had an episode.”

    Wang Jianye’s fist clenched instantly—she really didn’t take him seriously!

    “Are you mocking me?”

    The girl shrugged.

    “Then arrest me.

    I’d like to rest for a few days, and it’s better than being beaten.”

    Chu Yi’s eyes narrowed slightly as he activated Heavenly Eye, thoroughly inspecting the girl inside and out.

    No lies there; the numerous injuries on her body were not much lighter than those of Gu Xin’s friend, Lin Ying.

    “You…”

    Wang Jianye pointed at her, somewhat helpless regarding her cavalier attitude.

    “Forget it, Chu Yi, how do you want to handle this?”

    Chu Yi deactivated the Heavenly Eye and said, “Let it be.

    You go back to work, and I’ll go back to school.

    She can go wherever she likes.”

    “Are you sure?”

    Wang Jianye reminded him, “This means you’re giving up on holding someone accountable.”

    “Yeah, let’s give up on it,” Chu Yi replied indifferently, inspiring a burst of admiration from Wang Jianye.

    This composed demeanor was truly rare.

    With that, Wang Jianye had nothing more to say and left with his colleagues.

    Once it was just Chu Yi and the girl, he suddenly asked in a faint tone, “Beautiful, now that the cop uncle is gone, tell me, who made you do this?”

    The girl was taken aback.

    “Didn’t you say you weren’t going to hold anyone accountable?”

    “It’s just that I won’t hold anyone accountable through the cop uncle.

    I’ll have to hold them accountable myself,” Chu Yi replied, with a slight lift at the corner of his mouth, still looking as casual as ever.

    Yet seeing this, the girl felt a sudden jolt of fear in her heart.

    “Can… Can I not say it?”

    “Sure, then I’ll just have to shove you back under the car wheels, how does that sound?”
