"Not make it difficult for him? So, you've decided to take all the responsibility on your own? You're a rich young lady. Think about your future, everything you have will disappear like smoke. This stain on your life can never be erased," Xiaofan said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Ye Weiwei's face indeed showed a look of astonishment.

"No, this has nothing to do with me. It's all Huang Shanshan, all of it is her idea alone. She... she used your innocence to blackmail me, to extort money from me, right, Shanshan? Tell them, you... you speak up!" With a sudden turn of words, Ye Weiwei abruptly shifted the blame onto Huang Shanshan.

Hearing this, an indescribable fear emerged in Huang Shanshan's eyes.

She wanted to refute, she wanted to struggle, but as the words reached her lips, she couldn't utter a single one.

Among everyone, her status was the most humble. If there had to be a scapegoat for this incident, it would certainly be herself.

The attitude that Ye Xiaofan showed earlier already explained everything. They must share blood relations, if he wanted to pursue this further, they wouldn't continue to sit here talking. Instead, they would have let the police take everyone away.

Maybe, if she bore all the guilt herself, the charges might not be too heavy. When she got out, she could ask Ye Weiwei for some money, then...

"Ye Weiwei, isn't that enough? At such a moment, you still show no remorse." While Huang Shanshan was contemplating, Xiaofan suddenly shouted angrily, pulling her back to reality.

"I... what have I done?"

"Alright, let me make it clear. First, you had Huang Shanshan deliberately get close to me, get to know me, and under the guise of being drunk, she had me escort her back to her dormitory. And Ye Shaolong, to separate me from Siyan, actually used my father borrowing money from my second uncle as a means to threaten. All of this was ultimately for you, and you stood back and acted uninvolved. What kind of man is that? Even now, not a hint of regret. If grandpa knew the Ye Family produced people like you two, he'd be furious."

"Stop pretending to be noble! Do you think we don't know your purpose for approaching Liu Siyan? Aren't you after their family's money? With your status, do you think Liu Siyan's father would agree to you being together? It'd be better to let Shaolong, with the right family connections, pursue it. You wouldn't miss out on benefits..."

'Slap...'

A loud slap resounded, Xiaofan had acted, and although he was the brother, he couldn't help but strike.

Holding her cheek, Ye Weiwei looked at Xiaofan in shock. In her life, not even her father dared hit her. Now, this lowly person actually dared to lay hands on her...

"Ye Xiaofan, how dare you hit me."

"It seems you're beyond help."

"Enough, this is my fault, everything was caused by my greed. If you really want to investigate, then let me repay it with my life..."

Suddenly, when no one expected it, Huang Shanshan ran to the window and leapt up onto it...

Social pressure was something she couldn't bear. If her parents found out, realizing they worked so hard to afford her college education and she turned out this way, they'd be heartbroken. Everything was now set. Huang Shanshan didn't know how to face it. If her death could calm everything, then so be it...

Crash...

Hanging in the air, the wind was unexpectedly cool. At the brink of death, she seemed to see it all clearly. But a hand grabbed her fiercely from the edge of death.

"You did wrong, but there's no need to repay with your life."

"Let go, apart from dying, I have no other options."

"I can give you another option... Moreover, if you die here, I'll be blamed even more. Rest assured, I won't dig deeper into your involvement. Come back in, we'll talk."

Even without inner strength, it wasn't very hard for Xiaofan to pull back a girl weighing about a hundred pounds from outside the window.

Sitting on the ground, Huang Shanshan's face was very pale. Earlier, her heart had indeed turned to ashes, but somehow, seeing Ye Xiaofan's sincere eyes, she chose to trust him in that moment. Why is this man's charm so strong?

Seeing Huang Shanshan safely return, Ye Weiwei and Ye Shaolong clearly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Tang, let the two of them go."

"Hmm."

"What? Ye Xiaofan, are you saying to let them leave?" Lin Miaoke immediately objected.

"Officer Lin, consider it a personal favor I owe you."

"You... you this guy, are you really planning to let this girl take all the blame?" Lin Miaoke asked sharply.

Upon hearing this, Huang Shanshan, just calming down, suddenly became terrified again, her small face once again turning ashen.

"They may disregard family bonds, but I can't. Call it selfishness or weakness, this matter ends here." Xiaofan said softly, then went up to Tang Tianyou: "Brother Tang, can I have a cigarette?"

"Hmm? Oh."

Xiaofan didn't smoke, but at that moment, he was very curious about the taste of nicotine.

In fact, among the whole incident, Xiaofan undoubtedly suffered the most. No one else might have made such a generous decision.

"The taste of cigarettes is strange, cough cough..." Trying a cigarette for the first time, he was choked, but Xiaofan didn't put out the lit cigarette, instead taking another puff.

"Ye Xiaofan..." Huang Shanshan called softly, now it was her turn to be judged.

"Hmm, sorry, this matter has escalated to this, ultimately it will require you to clarify. Isn't the court session tomorrow? I'll have these officers withdraw your previous statements. On the stand, you'll say you were drunk, had a dream, thought someone was trying to assault you, which is why you shouted... Once you realized, you feared wrongly accusing someone good and didn't dare to come forward... Afterwards, you'll undoubtedly face some online backlash, but you don't have to worry about that, I'll minimize the exposure. Then, you will continue your studies..."
