Chapter 32

He's lying

Ye Rou flung open the door, hands on her hips, and demanded fiercely, "My husband is also a victim! What kind of investigation is he being subjected to? Is it an investigation or just a routine questioning?"

The Ye sisters were once personally received by the Empress of the Empire.

She holds a very high position at school; even the discipline master can't do anything to her.

This is also why she dared to cause trouble in the principal's office when she was forced into a pairing.

The student council members could only stammer, "It should be an inquiry, right? If Instructor Ye is worried, you can come along."

"Of course I'm going. I can't let people take their anger out on my husband just because some of them lost loved ones."

She slammed the door shut and said to Yang Ding, "Honey, I'll go with you. I'm going to change my clothes. Wait for me."

Yang Ding stopped her, saying, "I can handle these kinds of simple inquiries myself. It's embarrassing for me as her husband to have to come along every time. People will think I'm a complete useless person."

"But the discipline director is a very difficult old woman, I'm worried you'll get into trouble with her."

Yang Ding chuckled, "Don't worry, wife, that old witch can't trick your husband."

Fang Jing is two years older than Ye Rou. She has more experience in the ways of the world and is more accurate in judging men.

"Xiaorou, don't worry. The discipline master won't dare to lay a hand on you. Your husband is much more cunning than you. If he can't handle it, you certainly can't."

"Who said that, Sister Jing? My husband is very honest and reliable."

Fang Jing poked her forehead hard. "Tsk tsk, when did you become such a lovesick fool? What tricks did Yang Ding use on you?"

Yang Ding got dressed and went to the student council headquarters with the student council members.

This incident at the farm is the deadliest tragedy to occur in Jiangling City in the past decade.

75% of them are students from the Pig Farming Department of the College of Engineering and Agriculture at Jiangling University, so the Jiangling University Student Union must be deeply involved in the investigation and evidence collection and submit a report to the Lord of Jiangling City and the high-ranking officials of the Empire.

The student council headquarters is located next to the principal's office and holds a very high position.

The student council president is usually a senior student with high academic standing. His position is second only to the principal and he can sit on equal footing with any teacher.

When he arrived, Yang Ding discovered that he was the only student there; the others were all there to listen to the proceedings.

The group consisted of eight student council members, a captain from the enforcement team, and a training officer representative who was also the discipline director.

Ten people sat behind a long table, twenty eyes staring intently at Yang Ding, a gesture intended to intimidate him.

The discipline director, his eyes bloodshot, stormed over to Yang Ding and said aggressively, "Come sit down. You were the only one who sneaked back, so we'll only be questioning you today. We'll also be going to the farm to ask the other students for their statements."

"So you'd better not take any chances. If we catch you, you'll die a horrible death."

Yang Ding stood at the door, hands in his pockets, and slowly walked to the ten people and sat down, looking at the discipline director.

"First of all, let me correct you on one point. I didn't sneak back on my own. I came back with Governor Zhou's approval and on her drone."

Yang Ding knew that under these circumstances, his wife Ye Rou's reputation was not enough to deter these guys.

But Zhou Ruoxi's reputation is enough to scare these people to death.

Sure enough, the discipline master's attitude softened instantly.

"Hmph, does President Zhou care about a lowly, ordinary person like you from the pig farming industry? You think you're worthy of being his personal drone?"

Yang Ding pointed to the landline on the table, "The captain of the enforcement team should be able to contact the governor, right? You can just ask him yourselves."

The discipline director turned to look at the boy next to him; he was Zhao Zekai, the president of the Jiangling University Student Union.

He is Zhou Ruoxi's cousin and is currently a senior student at the Martial Arts Academy of Jiangling University, with a martial arts cultivation level of the lower fourth rank.

The Zhao family is an ally of the Zhou family and also part of the ruling class in Jiangling City.

"He's not qualified, but his wife is. Let's accept that for now. The governor is very busy; don't bother her with this kind of thing," Zhao Zekai replied.

It is obvious that among these ten people, his voice carries far more weight than that of the discipline director.

The discipline director had no choice but to give up, and sneered, "So what if you took President Zhou's private jet? We now suspect that you are involved in the death of counselor Xiang Bin."

The old woman paused deliberately after speaking, wanting Yang Ding to deny it so she could catch him off guard.

Regardless of the truth, she wanted to use her age and status to force Yang Ding to admit that he was the murderer, so that she could at least fulfill her brother's last wish.

After all, he's only 18 years old and hasn't seen much of the world, so he should be easy to deal with.

Unexpectedly, Yang Ding replied frankly, "That's right, the counselor's death is indeed related to me."

"You've admitted it yourself?"

"What do you mean by confessing without being asked?" Yang Ding asked. "Shouldn't you have asked me first what happened?"

Seeing that Yang wasn't taking the bait, the discipline director had no choice but to say, "Alright, tell me, what happened back then?"

Ten minutes later, Yang Ding still hadn't spoken, his eyes were red, and he was very agitated.

Even the captain of the enforcement team couldn't hold back any longer and tapped the table, "Are you mute?"

The student council president sneered, "They're scared out of their wits, aren't they?"

Yang Ding pulled out a tissue, wiped his nose, and then said emotionally, "You weren't there at the time, so you have no idea how terrifying that situation was. Thousands of White Walkers were chasing us, and my counselor and I were responsible for covering our retreat."

"In order to buy me time to escape, he took the initiative to close the fire door in the stairwell."

"Originally, I didn't want to leave alone and wanted to live and die with him, but the counselor said that his cultivation level was higher, reaching the middle stage of the first rank, and that he could completely deal with these alien demons."

Everyone was watching Yang Ding coldly, except for the discipline master, who was starting to get restless.

She interrupted Yang Ding's sentimental recollection, "You mean to say that my brother, in order to protect you, let you go first while he covered your retreat?"

"Yes, although the counselor is usually strict, we saw his noble qualities at the crucial moment."

"He's lying!" The discipline master slammed his fist on the table. "Yang Ding's wife, Ye Rou, caused Xiang Tianyou to lose his chance to get into the top class. He hates you too much to ask for help!"

"Discipline Director, you've completely misunderstood. I already explained to the counselor that Xiang Tianyou getting a zero was President Zhou's decision, not my wife's. The counselor wouldn't hate me or even want to kill me over something like this, would she?"

The discipline master suddenly stood up and slammed his hands on the table in a fit of emotion.

"He wanted to kill you. There was no way he would save you. No one knows my brother better than me, so your testimony is all false. You killed my brother."

Everyone inside the room was shocked.

The discipline master suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing.

She quickly explained to the people in the audience, "Chairman Zhao, Captain Sun, what I mean is that Yang Ding is lying."
