Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
It turned out that a person from outside the school had entered, someone whom Ye Xiyuan likely knew. This person called Ye Xiyuan out, and it was unclear if there had been any conflict between them. The result was that Ye Xiyuan was taken hostage. The person holding Ye Xiyuan captive had surprisingly made a demand to meet Ye Lengan.
Initially, there was reluctance to call Ye Lengan over, as this matter seemed unrelated to her. However, witnessing the captor’s increasing agitation and fearing he might harm Ye Xiyuan, the decision was made to summon Ye
Lengan.
“Ye Xiyuan is being held hostage?” Ye Lengan expressed surprise after hearing Zheng Anyangs account. “Do you know who the person is?”
She hadn’t expected such a turn of events but was genuinely curious about the captor’s identity.
“l heard the person holding Ye Xiyuan hostage is called Li Qiaomeng,” Zheng Anyang responded. “After kidnapping Ye Xiyuan, she kept insisting on seeing you. Currently, she has a knife and is threatening Ye Xiyuan. If not careful, it might escalate into a tragedy. 1 had no choice but to call you.”
Zheng Anyang wore a face of helplessness and frustration as he explained. The situation on campus had taken an unexpected and alarming turn.
“If I’m not mistaken, this Li Qiaomeng tried to stop me at the school gate before, attempting to tarnish my reputation,” Ye Lengan remarked. “Seems like the puppet master behind this has revealed themselves.”
Previously, Li Qiaomeng had confronted her at the school gate, attempting to tarnish her reputation. However, she didn’t investigate who might have assisted Li Qiaomeng but directly confronted Li Qiaomeng afterward.
Given Li Qiaomengs current situation at her own school, it seemed she couldn’t stay there any longer. While Ye Lengan had considered the possibility of Li Qiaomeng taking drastic actions, she hadn’t anticipated that Li
Qiaomeng would come to Shengan High School and kidnap Ye Xiyuan.
In retrospect, Li Qiaomengs release from detention likely involved Ye Xiyuan’s intervention. However, it remained unclear if a new conflict had arisen between them, leading to the current crisis. The unfolding events hinted at a complex web of relationships and tensions that had brought them to this alarming situation.
“Do you know her?” Zheng Anyang, though not entirely comprehending Ye Leng’an’s words, sensed an underlying story. “You two are…”
“Principal, you probably don’t know.” Ye Lengan smiled, explaining, “Li Qiaomengs mother used to work as a housekeeper in my home. During my time abroad, they two treated my house as their own, inviting a group of friends to my villa. Those people entered my rooms, even the ones explicitly off-limits. While I was abroad, an alarm prompted me to contact property management and report it to the police. Lately, Li Qiaomeng somehow got out, came to the school gate, and tried to morally coerce me, wanting me to let her mother go.”
Having listened to Ye Leng’an’s detailed account, Zheng Anyang suddenly felt speechless. He hadn’t anticipated the existence of such individuals in the world.
Speaking of which, Zheng Anyang had already brought Ye Lengan to the central position. From there, they could clearly see Li Qiaomeng holding a knife, pressing it against Ye Xiyuan’s neck. Li Qiaomeng seemed emotionally charged, and the knife in her hand trembled, appearing poised to cut Ye Xiyuan’s neck at any moment.
At this moment, though Ye Xiyuan was desperately trying to maintain composure, it was evident that her face was deathly pale. Even her lips lacked any trace of color, and she appeared on the verge of collapsing as if she might faint at any second.
The police had long since arrived at the scene, but due to the knife in Li Qiaomengs hand, they refrained from taking any rash actions.
“No notification to Ye Xiyuan’s family?” Ye Lengan surveyed the surroundings and inquired. “If I remember correctly, Li Qiaomeng used to be the girlfriend of Ye Xiyuan’s brother, Ye Anyun.”
“Is that so?” Surprised by this revelation, Zheng Anyang remarked, “Nobody mentioned that, but Ye Xiyuan’s family has been informed, and they are on their way.”
“Okay.” Ye Lengan nodded nonchalantly.
At this moment, Li Qiaomeng also noticed Ye Leng’an’s arrival.
She shouted at the top of her lungs, “Ye Lengan, is it you? Did you cause this to happen to me?”
At the sight of Ye Lengan, Li Qiaomengs emotions flared up again. Ever since the last confrontation with Ye Lengan at the school gate, she felt that her life had suddenly descended into hell.
Her entrance into the detention center had once again become the talk of the town, and people at the school were gossiping about her. Subsequently, all her scholarships and financial aid were revoked. Inquiries yielded nothing but responses claiming she didn’t meet the qualifications, and the matter was dropped.
As for the one million she received from Ye Xiyuan, it didn’t take long before she lost almost all of it due to fraudulent investments. Without money, she could only continue living in the school dormitory, enduring differential treatment and isolation from her roommates.
All these circumstances had pushed her to the brink.
What crushed her the most was the realization that she was about to graduate. The internship unit she had contacted earlier had informed her that she wasn’t needed anymore. Moreover, every subsequent company she approached refused to accept her.
She didn’t know if Ye Lengan was orchestrating everything behind the scenes. After all, all these events unfolded after she sought out Ye Lengan.
Without an internship certificate, she wouldn’t be able to graduate. Failing to obtain a graduation certificate would plunge her future into darkness.
So, in a desperate situation, she thought of Ye Xiyuan. Given that Ye Xiyuan’s family owned a company, she came hoping that Ye Xiyuan could provide her
At this moment, if she walked out, Li Deze might think she was there to mock brought a fruit knife with her before leaving.
After finally locating Ye Xiyuan, she was met with accusations before she could even speak. Ye Xiyuan blamed her for being useless, regretting saving her in the first place. She went as far as saying that the one million was a waste and questioned how she dared to show up..
