Qin Zhengwei was filled with anxiety. He had already sensed something from Ling Yun's words. But at this moment, in front of everyone, he had to keep up the act and couldn't back down. He glared at Ling Yun and said fiercely, "Excuse me, Ling Yun, I don't understand what you're saying. If you want to frame us, please provide evidence. Otherwise, don't talk nonsense."
“Lingyun,” the dean said, “Don’t talk about these unimportant things. If you have something to say, get to the point.”
“Okay, Dean.” Ling Yun nodded. “Let’s just say it like this: I suspect my roommate isn’t a student of Jinghua University, but someone impersonating him!”
Chapter 128 A Scandalous Affair (6)
Ling Yun's words were like a bombshell, leaving everyone stunned and speechless. They exchanged bewildered glances, then stared at Ling Yun, wondering why he had said such a thing. The situation seemed to be developing in an increasingly bizarre manner.
Qin Zhengwei kept his composure and shouted with a dark face, "Ling Yun, you're talking nonsense! You're trying to mislead the school and the police! What evidence do you have?"
The department head looked at Ling Yun and said, "Ling Yun, the school and the police are here. Don't talk nonsense. Every new student has their ID card and admission notice checked upon enrollment, and they need to be compared with the records. How could there be a fake one?"
Ling Yun smiled faintly: "Boss, as long as you have money, what can't you fake? Do you know their real identities? I bet you wouldn't even guess, but those three are real drug dealers!"
"Drug dealers!"
The moment those four words were uttered, it was like a bolt from the blue, leaving everyone stunned and unable to process what they had just heard. Drug dealers—what did that mean? It meant that Qin Zhengwei and the other two were actually desperate criminals who could end up on death row, a far cry from the status of students at Jinghua University.
How could this be? He must be talking nonsense. Everyone stared at Ling Yun in shock, unable to believe his words.
Qin Zhengwei stared intently at Ling Yun, his face ashen, his eyes darting around, lost in thought. Fang Xiaoming simply watched him, his fists clenched tightly, ready to explode at any moment. Xiaoqian stood there completely dumbfounded, as if forgotten in a corner.
The burly campus police officer had remained silent ever since being reprimanded by the dean, but after hearing Ling Yun's earth-shattering words, he could no longer hold back: "Ling Yun, are you making this up? Jinghua University has been established for almost a hundred years, and we have never heard of any drug dealers on campus. What you're saying is tantamount to desecrating the school's century-old reputation."
"Yes." The department head also frowned. "Lingyun, you can't just make things up without solid evidence. The school's reputation is important, and you have to be responsible for your words and actions."
The dean watched Ling Yun silently. He had a feeling that Ling Yun definitely had something in his hands, but he just hadn't brought it out yet. This young man always gave people a sense of confidence that he had everything under control.
“Just because it didn’t exist before doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist now.” Ling Yun ignored the questions from the burly school police officer and the dean. “With technology so advanced now, anything can be forged if you have money. Besides, Qin Zhengwei and the others’ documents and files are indeed genuine. But what did they do in junior high and high school, and who did they associate with? Can the school investigate that?”
"Ling Yun," the dean finally spoke, "we need evidence, just like the evidence you provided to prove that Lü Xing only framed you. Don't say anything else."
He gestured to the counselor of the Department of Bioengineering behind him. The young counselor immediately understood his leader's intention, turned around and closed the dormitory door tightly. Some students from the same dormitory in the same building who wanted to squeeze in were unceremoniously pushed out by the counselor. Regardless of whether what Ling Yun said was true or false, this matter could not be leaked.
In any case, the school's reputation must be the top priority.
Ling Yun went into the bedroom and pulled out several sheets of paper from under his bed and between the thick layers of bedding. These were the documents Gu Xiaorou had given him that day. He then handed the documents to the dean. He believed that no one would be able to remain indifferent after seeing these documents.
Sure enough, even the usually composed dean couldn't help but change his expression after reading the information. Even his well-maintained hands trembled slightly as he stared intently at Ling Yun: "Is this all true?"
Ling Yun nodded expressionlessly. The dean sighed and handed several sheets of paper to the burly campus police officer who was looking at him sideways: "Take a look. By the way, Ling Yun, these documents alone don't prove anything. Do you have any other evidence?"
“Of course,” Ling Yun said without hesitation. “This camera has been installed in the dormitory for more than a day or two. Qin Zhengwei and his gang used the special place of the school to transfer drugs back and forth in and out of the dormitory, thinking they were doing it without anyone noticing. In fact, it was all recorded by the camera. I have uploaded the relevant video files to the Internet, and I can pull them up at any time.”
“Exposing the crimes of drug dealers is the responsibility and obligation of every citizen, including students,” Ling Yun said. “Dean, I wonder if I will be punished by the school again for installing cameras in the dormitory for this purpose.”
The dean frowned deeply. The matter had escalated completely. First, a student reported that a student had assaulted his dorm roommate's girlfriend—this was already unusual enough. But after involving both the school and the police, it was discovered that the alleged assault was actually a frame-up by the student who filed the report. For an innocent student, this was an unimaginably elaborate setup. And then Ling Yun's revelation put everyone on edge like never before.
An ordinary student dormitory was the site of three serious crimes: murder, framing, and drug trafficking. Such a thing had never happened before in the history of Jinghua University. In particular, when Ling Yun testified that Qin Zhengwei and the other two were actually drug dealers, the dean and department head were extremely shocked. How could drug dealers come to university? What was even more unbelievable was that, according to Ling Yun, the identities of these people were actually true.
In other words, Qin Zhengwei and his two accomplices went through the real college entrance examination, finally standing out among hundreds of thousands of students nationwide and gaining admission to Jinghua University, a national key university. All of this was merely a cover for their true identities as drug dealers. They then openly carried drugs in and out of the university.
If Lingyun hadn't exposed it today, who could imagine that students would brazenly carry drugs in and out of school? The school naturally wouldn't check every student, and there wouldn't be any real drug inspection measures on campus. To some extent, even if Qin Zhengwei and his group were carrying drugs, unless there was a deliberate investigation, no one would know what they were doing.
It's amazing that they came up with the idea of using college students' identities to sell drugs. Not only did the school not think of it, but the campus police did not think of it either, and even the real anti-drug police did not think of it.
In reality, Ling Yun only obtained some scattered supporting documents from Gu Xiaorou, recording some of Qin Zhengwei and the other two's experiences in the drug trafficking group. Qin Zhengwei and the other two were far too young to be considered real drug lords or dealers; they were merely frontline henchmen of the drug cartel. The traffickers used the school as a transit point, transferring drugs from the point of origin to Qin Zhengwei and the other two. Then, when inspections were lax, they would resell the drugs, making huge profits. As compensation, Qin Zhengwei and the other two could also take a 20% cut of the profits, reaping substantial gains.
When Ling Yun saw these documents, it dawned on him why Qin Zhengwei and his two companions had tried so hard to kick him out of dormitory 308 the first time they met. In fact, Ling Yun later learned that Qin Zhengwei and his friends had indeed paid for four people's dormitory fees to book the entire 308, but unexpectedly, because of Xia Zhen, Ling Yun was forced back into dormitory 308. Even when Qin Zhengwei and his friends tried to pull strings, they were thwarted.
Left with no other choice, Qin Zhengwei and his two companions decided to take a hard line first. They would have Fang Xiaoming, who had boxing experience, step in and try to scare the new student away. If that didn't work, they would beat him up. The plan was perfect, as none of the male freshmen could stand up to Fang Xiaoming. However, Ling Yun was a clear exception.
Unfortunately, this was the exception that Qin Zhengwei and his group encountered. After Fang Xiaoming was defeated by Ling Yun, Qin Zhengwei immediately realized he was in trouble; the new student was not to be trifled with. He had no choice but to temporarily endure it, outwardly maintaining a classmate relationship with Ling Yun while secretly looking for an opportunity to kick Ling Yun out of the dormitory again or directly get the school to expel this thorn in his side.
After all, there was an outsider in the dormitory. If the three of them brought drugs back, they would have to be careful to hide them. Although Ling Yun might not know the difference between drugs and laundry detergent, doing such a thing could lead to death if they revealed even the slightest flaw. The three of them knew the danger, so how could they dare to show any trace of their actions? They could only familiarize themselves with Ling Yun's daily routine in order to take countermeasures.
Unfortunately, Ling Yun was a homebody who spent all his time either in the classroom or in his dormitory, which annoyed and frustrated the three of them even more. So, through Qin Zhengwei's planning, they devised a vicious scheme to frame someone by using Lü Xing's girlfriend, Xiaoqian.
This plan should have been foolproof. No ordinary person could have explained it clearly, and might even have been misled by Xiaoqian's seduction from the start, thus leaving behind a bad reputation and being expelled from school.
Unfortunately, despite Qin Zhengwei's meticulous planning, he failed to anticipate that Ling Yun was not an ordinary person, but a superhuman. He started off on the wrong foot, naturally failing to find the right path. The moment Ling Yun learned his true identity, Qin Zhengwei and his companions were already defeated. Many things that ordinary people cannot explain or understand are effortlessly clear to superhumans. This is the immense difference brought about by the difference in power.
Without Ling Yun, the school might never have discovered the true identities of Qin Zhengwei and the other two until graduation. They would still have thought they were all excellent students. It's Qin Zhengwei's bad luck to have run into Ling Yun of all people.
Ling Yun had always suspected that the two assassins disguised as campus police officers were hired by Qin Zhengwei and his two companions through a drug trafficking ring. However, when killing the two assassins, the burly one confessed that he had done it through a middleman called "Old Demon," which made Ling Yun somewhat suspicious. He didn't know if Old Demon was connected to the drug trafficking ring behind Qin Zhengwei, but according to Su Bingyan's investigation, Old Demon was also involved in drug trafficking, so there must be some connection. However, this hadn't been confirmed yet, and Ling Yun hadn't had a chance to confront Old Demon.
Chapter 129 A Scandalous Affair (7)
Anyway, Su Bingyan had already given him detailed information about Lao Yao, so he could go see Lao Yao anytime. However, before Ling Yun could even think about investigating the matter, Qin Zhengwei couldn't resist taking action against him. Fortunately, the school officials and police were all there, so Ling Yun exposed all of Lao Yao's secrets.
Since Qin Zhengwei wanted him dead, why should Ling Yun be polite and leave him a way out? Drug dealers are known for their ruthlessness. Once they embark on this path of no return, they kill anyone who comes their way, regardless of emotions or reason, let alone the superficial politeness between classmates.
After reviewing the information, the burly campus police officer's expression changed drastically. He handed the information to another campus police officer, and his instinctive action was to reach for the pistol at his waist.
The campus police at Jinghua University are actually quite similar to the neighborhood police. They lead very relaxed and leisurely lives in peace. Most of the campus police don't even have a gun, except for a baton, because they don't really need one on campus. Even if an incident occurs, it's just a friction or dispute between students, which can be completely resolved with a little mediation.
The fact that a campus police officer like this, carrying a gun, is considered high-level equipment even within the campus police station; it's usually only issued to sergeants or senior officers. Moreover, its symbolic imposing presence far outweighs its actual practical use. Ordinary campus police officers don't even usually fire their weapons.
Clearly, the burly campus police officer held a high rank within the police station; otherwise, he wouldn't be carrying a gun. He instinctively picked up the pistol after hearing Lu Xing's words, mainly for deterrence. If the student who intended to cause trouble disobeyed and resisted, then as long as the dark muzzle of the gun was pointed at him, he believed that no matter how fierce the student was, they would obediently raise their hands and surrender.
But now, however, the handguns seem to be used on the battlefield, not just for decoration. No matter how much Qin Zhengwei and his two companions appear to be students, drug dealers are desperate criminals—this is the first reaction of every police officer, conditioned to react instinctively. The incident has escalated to the level of a drug war, far exceeding the nature of a mere student dispute on campus.
So the burly campus police officer immediately reached for his gun. Although the authenticity of Qin Zhengwei and his associates as drug dealers has not yet been confirmed, in such cases, vigilance must not be relaxed as long as there is suspicion.
The air suddenly became tense.
"Let's do it!"
