Chapter 78 The Mastermind Emerges
"Sneak attack!"
"These young people lack martial ethics!"
Ye Kai touched the cheek that Shen Jiayi had kissed and suddenly laughed.
He watched the beautiful, academically gifted girl enter the apartment building. As the elevator doors closed and he turned to leave, he suddenly stopped.
The fact that Shen Jiayi was suddenly surrounded and confessed to today is somewhat unusual.
Normally, Ye Kai would have chosen to handle this matter himself, taking the time to understand the cause and effect and figure out what Pang Di's purpose was.
But things are different now; the college entrance exam is just a few days away.
If the other party really does want to interfere with Shen Jiayi's emotions and thus affect her performance in the college entrance examination, then this potential threat must be eliminated in advance.
"Uncle Shen, I'm Ye Kai."
"There's a situation now that concerns Jiajia's college entrance exam, and I feel there are some issues that need to be addressed..."
After thinking it over, Ye Kai decided to report the situation to Shen Mingsun and let Mayor Shen, as the head of the city, take care of the matter. After all, with his background as the mayor, he was capable of finding out the truth of the matter in the shortest possible time.
"Okay, thank you, Xiao Ye."
"I will find out the truth about this as soon as possible."
Mayor Shen's voice was as steady as ever, but as someone who knew him well, Ye Kai could hear a hint of anger hidden in it.
At this critical moment, how could Mayor Shen not be furious that someone dared to plot against his daughter?
Mayor Shen would not allow his daughter, who had already taken a step into Peking University, to retreat for some inexplicable reason.
"Director Liu, could you have someone investigate this..."
Mayor Shen's style of doing things can be described as swift and decisive. He directly summoned Liu Weiwei, the director of the government office, and assigned tasks to him in person.
"Please rest assured, Mayor."
"I'll get on it right away."
Upon hearing this, Liu Weiwei not only didn't find it troublesome, but instead became incredibly excited, as if he had been injected with adrenaline, and rushed off to contact the police.
As the de facto chief secretary to the mayor, Mayor Shen rarely asks him for help with personal matters. This time, by having him investigate the incident of his daughter being surrounded by people, it's clear that Mayor Shen considers him one of her own.
Instead of contacting the police chief, Liu Weiwei called He Xiaobin, the chief of Xuefu Road Police Station, directly to inquire about the incident that occurred after school that afternoon.
"Because this matter involves school students, we dispatched officers immediately after receiving the report."
"I'll investigate the specifics further. Okay, I understand. We must ensure the smooth conduct of the college entrance examination and leave no hidden dangers."
Director He Xiaobin knew about the matter, but he hadn't looked into the details. When he learned that it involved Mayor Shen's daughter, he was shocked.
He immediately summoned his officers, who went directly to Xinghua No. 1 Middle School to retrieve the surveillance video from that time to understand the situation.
"Good heavens!"
"Who is that young man next to Mayor Shen's daughter? He's incredibly skilled!"
"It's clear those people are here to cause trouble. Should we check if they have any past misconduct?"
"Found him. Bring him back for questioning."
The group of officers were all experienced veterans. They quickly found the key clues, drove directly to Pang Di's house, and brought him back to the police station.
They were just a few high school students. Once they entered the police station and were given a little scare, they spilled everything they knew.
……
"So, their ambush of Jiajia and the staged confession ceremony were indeed orchestrated by someone?"
Shen Mingsun was also somewhat surprised when he heard Liu Weiwei's report.
"The student leading the group is named Pang Di, and he is a student with athletic talent."
"His grades weren't too bad, but they weren't good either. Based on his usual performance, he definitely wouldn't be able to get into any relevant universities in Beijing."
"So someone approached him, promising to get him into Beijing Sports University through campus recruitment, on the condition that he find someone to disrupt Shen Jiayi's life, preferably by creating trouble for her, making her unable to maintain emotional stability, or even causing her to fail the college entrance examination..."
"These people are young, but they are extremely wicked."
"If they succeed, it will be quite troublesome."
After reporting the findings of his investigation, Liu Weiwei commented with a hint of lingering fear.
The opportunity to take the National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) is only available once for each person, and its importance cannot be overstated.
Even if they could take the college entrance exam again in the future, it would come at the cost of more time and personal effort, and they would also have to accept the status of a repeat student, which is definitely not a reality that true academic achievers would be happy to accept.
Considering Shen Jiayi's status and the school's various forms of protection for her, Pang Di and the others did not dare to provoke her too openly, so they came up with a dirty trick to confess their feelings to her.
In this case, even if the school intervenes, it can only consider the situation as a romantic entanglement between students, and will not take strong action.
What they didn't expect was that Ye Kai was right there when Shen Jiayi was surrounded and confessed to. He not only broke them up but also informed Shen Mingsun of the situation.
Ye Kai learned the details of the matter after receiving a phone call from Shen Jiayi that evening.
Miss Shen spent a full twenty minutes chatting with Ye Kai about various trivial matters before finally telling him the inside story of the matter.
"The only person who could probably get this done is that guy named Song Xujie from Beijing Nationalities University."
"That kid is definitely full of bad ideas."
"It seems he's still got his eye on you."
After a moment's thought, Ye Kai immediately understood Song Xujie's true intention in doing this.
Given Song Xujie's family's influence, it's impossible that they didn't know that Shen Jiayi had already secured a place as a candidate for Peking University's independent admissions program.
Judging from Shen Jiayi's usual grades, as long as she obtains this candidate qualification, she can easily enter Peking University with almost no risk.
No matter how much influence Song Xujie's family has, they can't possibly reach into Peking University. So he can only try to find someone to influence Shen Jiayi's mood. If he can break her mental state so that she can't take the college entrance examination normally, that would be great.
At worst, it would affect Shen Jiayi's performance, meaning she would have to attend Beijing Minzu University as an art student.
Once Shen Jiayi goes to the Nationalities University, it will be Song Xujie's stage to show his strength.
"That guy is absolutely wicked!"
Shen Jiayi had also anticipated this outcome, and her eyebrows immediately furrowed in anger as she gritted her teeth.
If Ye Kai hadn't deliberately stirred things up and utterly defeated Pang Di and his gang, they might have actually succeeded in getting things done.
"You don't need to take this to heart."
"In the days leading up to the college entrance exam, just stay home and be careful."
"After the college entrance exam is over, we'll have plenty of time to give Song Xujie a good thrashing."
Ye Kai was also really angry at Song Xujie. He thought to himself that if he didn't make a mess of Song Xujie's family, he would have wasted his rebirth.
"It's not that easy. They come from a prestigious family in the capital."
Although Shen Jiayi was very happy with Ye Kai's care, she was also very worried that he might do something that would cause Song Xujie's family to hurt him.
It's far too risky to cause trouble on someone else's turf.
"It's not that difficult."
"At least we can slap him across the face right now and give him a wake-up call."
Ye Kai pondered for a moment, and then an idea came to him.
