At noon, Shen Ye went to meet Director Huang. They agreed to meet at a tea house near the school. The tea house was not very high-end, but it was still quiet. Shen Ye pushed the door into the private room and saw about ten people sitting inside.

Director Huang stood up first and walked toward him excitedly, “Master Shen, you’re here!”

Shen Ye nodded and looked at him.

Director Huang was particularly enthusiastic, “Please sit down quickly.”

Although he was smiling, his face was still anxious, probably because of the rumors on the internet.

Just before he arrived, Shen Ye checked his Weibo and saw that the news had been suppressed, but there were still many netizens discussing it. When it comes to sexual assault, netizens have zero tolerance. Director Huang is also the most well-known director in the country, with a very high popularity. Everyone is waiting for the truth. If Director Huang really did such a thing, his reputation would be completely ruined.

Shen Ye was led to the main seat.

Regardless of Director Huang’s position in the industry, at his age, he shouldn’t be so respectful.

Shen Ye knew what Director Huang wanted from him.

His gaze fell on the young man on Director Huang’s right.

Director Huang immediately introduced, “This is my son, Huang Yiming.”

Most of the people in the room, Shen Ye also knew, including Director Huang’s wife, the famous performing artist Ying Qiuli, and several middle-aged men and women who were also famous directors and producers in the industry.

The whole room had only one young man, Huang Yiming.

“Oh.” Shen Ye’s gaze swept across Huang Yiming’s face. “I see.”

He had said before, looking at Director Huang’s photo in the morning, that it was also wrong to judge a person by their appearance. It turned out to be true.

Seeing Shen Ye’s indifferent attitude, Director Huang couldn’t help but feel a little anxious.

His wife was more anxious than him, and she directly said, “Master Shen, please help save my son.”

Shen Ye picked up the teacup and took a sniff. He wasn’t used to drinking tea and only drank warm water. Every time he came to the school to learn, he brought a large thermos.

When he got off the car, he thought this was a tea house, so he left the thermos in the car. However, he still couldn’t get used to the taste of tea.

“I can’t help with this matter,” Shen Ye put down the teacup.

Mrs. Ying was so anxious that she was about to burst, and she quickly signaled to her husband.

Huang was also very anxious and said, “Master Shen, as long as you are willing to help, no matter what conditions you set, I promise.”

As he spoke, he handed Shen Ye a check for 50 million yuan.

Fifty million, that’s a lot.

For people like Fu Guanglin and Mr. Shi, Shen Ye saved their family members’ lives and only charged 2 million yuan.

Shen Ye raised his eyebrows but remained silent.

Huang quickly said, “As long as you come forward to help clarify the situation, money is not a problem.”

Yesterday, the incident of Jin Xu causing trouble for Li Xiaoqing was broadcasted live, and Li Xiaoqing was in trouble that day. It was said that she has already been sidelined by the company today… This just confirmed Shen Ye’s previous Weibo post “We’ll know in two days”. Now Shen Ye’s reputation has risen even further, and netizens believe that Shen Ye really has the ability.

Many people are lining up to pray under Shen Ye’s Weibo post, some are praying not to fail their exams, and some are praying for their family’s health, in short, Shen Ye’s words are very credible.

As long as Shen Ye clarifies things for Director Huang online, those netizens will surely believe Shen Ye and the sexual assault incident can be suppressed.

Now this matter is still in the stage of groundless speculation and there is no evidence yet. The police have not even questioned  Huang Dao. Huang Dao wants to resolve this as soon as possible.

Shen Ye coldly stared at Huang Dao for a few seconds, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, “You want to spend 50 million yuan to buy your son’s freedom, but what about the little girl who was hurt by your son?”

With just one sentence, Huang Dao and Mrs. Ying both turned pale. Their faces were full of shock and embarrassment.

The others also looked at Shen Ye in shock.

Huang Dao and his wife didn’t say anything, but Shen Ye already guessed that Huang Dao’s son was involved in the sexual assault.

It was said that Shen Ye could tell fortunes just by looking at people’s faces, and today they finally got to witness it.

“It was my son who made a mistake… but we can’t just watch our son go to jail. Otherwise, his life will be ruined. He’s only twenty…” With tears in her eyes, Ying Qiuli cried and looked at Shen Ye, “We plan to send him to the countryside for reformation and give him a proper punishment. But if he goes to jail, and for such a disgraceful reason…”

Shen Ye interrupted her coldly, “You know that what your son did was disgraceful?”

Ying Qiuli wiped her tears with a tissue and remained silent.

“Let’s leave it at that,” Shen Ye stood up, “I will report this to the police. As for you, it’s best to let your son turn himself in, otherwise, the crime will be even more severe.”

Upon hearing the words ‘report to the police,’ Ying Qiuli stood up anxiously and stopped Shen Ye, “No, you can’t report this!”

“When you commit a crime, you have to accept punishment,” Shen Ye looked at her coldly.

Huang Dao quickly held Ying Qiuli back, “Lizi, calm down, we’re asking Master Shen for help!”

Ying Qiuli’s face looked a bit better.

“Please help us,” Huang Dao pleaded with Shen Ye while comforting his wife, “We really have no other options…”

Others stepped forward to block Shen Ye, obviously not wanting him to leave.

“Are you trying to force me to stay here and help this scum clear his name?” Shen Ye’s face was cold, and his aura was extremely strong.

Everyone in the room had a certain level of status in their circles, but they all felt intimidated by Shen Ye.

“You’ve misunderstood, my wife and I really want your help, with one hundred percent sincerity,” Huang Dao said quickly.

“Your sincerity should be to have your son turn himself in,” Shen Ye said.

Huang Dao looked a bit uneasy, paused for a moment, and then suddenly said firmly, “I will help my son redeem himself.”

Shen Ye glanced at Ying Qiuli and Huang Yiming, and sneered, “Redeem himself? I think you’re trying to absolve your son of guilt.”

Huang Dao shook his head, “In fact, the purpose of inviting you here today is not to suppress this matter.”

Shen Ye raised his eyebrows.

Huang Dao: “We have already compensated the girl with tens of millions of dollars, and we will do our best to help the girl’s family with any needs in the future.”

“How about her psychological trauma?” Shen Ye was still angry. “Do you think giving her money can make everything go away? If I gather a few men and gang rape your son and then give him millions of dollars, will you agree?”

The room fell even quieter after his words.

Ying Qiuli, who was crying, suddenly became agitated upon hearing this. “How can you compare the two situations?”

“Why are they not the same?” Shen Ye sneered at her. “I think it’s a good idea to let your son experience what it feels like to be forced.”

Ying Qiuli gritted her teeth. “Master Shen, you’re joking.”

Shen Ye couldn’t be bothered to deal with her anymore. “You don’t want your son to suffer, but how can the girl’s parents bear to see their daughter in pain? You were once beautiful and lively on TV when you were young, but I never expected you to be such a shameless person!”

Of course, he would never actually ask anyone to gang rape Huang Yiming. He was only using it as an example, but Ying Qiuli couldn’t handle it and showed her double standard.

Ying Qiuli’s face turned extremely ugly. “Master Shen, you are attacking me personally!”

“Yes, I am attacking you. What can you do about it?” Shen Ye sneered. “Just like the girl’s family, they probably can’t do anything to you either. This is your logic, isn’t it? The stronger one is always right, and even if you commit a crime, you can still get away with it!”

Ying Qiuli frowned fiercely, but she still had some sanity left and didn’t argue with Shen Ye.

Her son Huang Yiming was different. When he heard Shen Ye talk about wanting to gang rape him, Huang Yiming gritted his teeth and glared at Shen Ye as if he wanted to beat him up.

Shen Ye was disgusted. Scum was always scum. They didn’t reflect on their crimes and still acted arrogantly.

Huang Dao was afraid that his wife, son, and Shen Ye would get into a fight, so he quickly grabbed his wife’s hand and turned to Shen Ye, saying, “Master Shen, you’re right. When you commit a crime, you must accept punishment.”

Shen Ye crossed his arms. “So, is your son going to turn himself in?”

Huang Dao’s expression froze for a moment before he said, “I will go to jail for my son.”

This statement surprised Shen Ye.

Huang Dao continued, “Besides, the internet is already spreading rumors that I did it, so I might as well confess.”

Shen Ye stared at him.

Huang Dao let out a sigh and said, “My son is only twenty years old. As my wife said, if he goes to jail, his life will be over. As for me, I’m so old now and have already enjoyed success and fame. Even if I go to jail, it won’t have much impact on me.”

So this was their plan.

If it were anyone else listening, they would surely think that Huang Dao was just a loving father. But in Shen Ye’s eyes, Huang Dao was raising a scumbag for society! Spoiling a child is akin to killing a child, and Huang Yiming had indeed grown crooked.

It would have been one thing if Huang Yiming only harmed himself, but he had also harmed a young girl!

Therefore, Huang Dao and his wife were not innocent in this matter.

Huang Dao said, “Dealing with the media is easy. As long as I make a call, my son won’t be implicated. It’s just that the police are a bit troublesome… so I was hoping you could help. You’re a master, so you must have a way.”

Shen Ye said coldly, “Oh, you came to me just so I could help you cover up the truth.”

Huang Dao laughed awkwardly.

Shen Ye turned to look at the others in the room.

Everyone, including Ying Qiuli, was not surprised by Huang Dao’s words, clearly, they had already discussed this.

They all stared at Shen Ye, waiting for him to speak.

Shen Ye said slowly, “I won’t let your son go to jail. But he will still need to be reformed. If he keeps on offending, I’m not going to help exonerate a criminal like Huang Yiming!”

Spoiled scumbags like Huang Yiming have no fear of anything and will only become more lawless if they are not punished for their crimes. Especially since he has a pair of parents who spoil him and are willing to protect him even if it means going to jail themselves. Huang Yiming will only become more emboldened, thinking that he can do anything without consequences.

Seeing that Shen Ye was unyielding, Huang Dao and Ying Qiuli’s faces sank.

Shen Ye didn’t care about their thoughts and said, “I’m calling the police when I leave.” Then he walked straight towards the door.

“You can’t leave!” Ying Qiuli blocked his path.

Shen Ye naturally couldn’t stop, so he bypassed her and continued towards the door.

After taking just a few steps, he was stopped by Huang Yiming.

Huang Yiming was doted on by his parents since he was a child. His father has a high position in the social circle. He made good friends with many wealthy businessmen and aristocratic families. He was surrounded by people who fawned over him. This was the first time he saw someone like Shen Ye who didn’t know what was good and what was wrong. He lost his temper and came up. 

“Stinky boy, don’t you have some shame!” Huang Yiming smiled grimly and shook his fist at Shen Ye.

Huang Dao and Ying Quili are both good-looking, especially Ying Quili, who was the hottest TV star decades ago.

Huang Yiming is handsome but he has a treacherous face, which is a face of a criminal.

Shen Ye directly throws a talisman at Huang Yiming.

Before Huang Yiming could rush to him, he fell to the ground screaming.

Shen Ye hated him so much, that he throws another talisman between his legs.

In the next second, Huang Yiming held his cr*tch and yelled, “It hurts! Mom! Dad! Save me!”

Shen Ye’s action shocked everyone in the room.

Huang Dao was the first to react. He went up to hug his son and begged Shen Ye for mercy: “Master Shen, don’t be angry. I’ll teach my son a lesson.”

Then he slapped Huang Yiming hard, “Will you shut up?! I’ll teach you a lesson!”

With Shen Ye’s ability, who would dare to fight against Shen Ye?

If there was a fight, they would definitely not be able to leave this door today.

Huang Yiming was still wailing: “It hurts! It hurts!”

Seeing her son’s face contorted in pain, Ying Quili was also heartbroken and stared at Shen Ye: “You are promoting feudal superstition online. I can report you to the police, and we’ll see who’ll come out on top in the end!”
