The Young Urban Doctor

Chapter 637: Chapter 637: It Shouldn’t Be That Simple

Fang Qianqian took the very annoyed Chen Xiaoxiao away, and only then did Yang Qingye sit down, fuming.

“Let’s continue eating,” Luo Ziling indicated to Yang Qingye, who hadn’t eaten much of the late-night snack, to sit down and join him.

“All right, I’m actually quite hungry,” Yang Qingye didn’t refuse; after thinking for a while, she added, “How about we also invite my sister to join us for supper?”

Seeing that it was already past ten o’clock and guessing that Yang Qingyin would probably be in bed, Luo Ziling still shook his head and declined, “Let’s not, it’s too late, she’s probably getting ready to rest. Let’s just talk, with no one else around, you can speak freely. Did you look for me today because of something urgent? Is it about the incident posted on our school’s forum?”

“It’s related to that,” when Yang Qingye brought up the matter, she no longer had the spirited vigor she exhibited while arguing with Fang Qianqian and Chen Xiaoxiao, and she appeared somewhat dejected.

“Did your sister tell you?” Luo Ziling furrowed his brows, “Or did you hear about these rumors yourself?”

...

“My sister told me about the posts regarding us on your school’s forum, and she scolded me harshly,” Yang Qingye looked quite aggrieved, “I still don’t understand what’s really going on.”

“I’m also not very clear about the details. Tonight, when I went back to my dorm, my roommates talked about it,” Luo Ziling then shared with Yang Qingye what he knew, and after speaking, he asked, “Has anything happened these last few days?”

“Yes,” Yang Qingye nodded, “Jiang Xiaojin came to see me a few times, demanding that I take responsibility. She was asking for a huge sum, demanding one million before she’d agree to get an abortion.”

“So, how do you plan to resolve this issue?” Luo Ziling asked further.

The last time Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan went shopping and ran into Yang Qingye, Yang Qingye had mentioned this issue, but in the past few days, Luo Ziling hadn’t heard him say anything, and Yang Qingyin hadn’t mentioned it either; Luo Ziling thought Yang Qingye had found his own way to resolve it. @@novelbin@@

“Brother-in-law, I had no intention of marrying her from the start; she was the one who initiated everything,” Yang Qingye explained his side of the story with the air of a wronged party, “For our first intimate encounter, she was the one who booked the room and invited me over. It also wasn’t her first time, and I later found out that she had been involved with other men before me, but to deceive me, she went through a surgical procedure. We had already broken up, not long after running into you at the plaza. At that time, I gave her some money, about twenty thousand, which was the amount she asked for. Later on, I heard that she got together with a foreign student and that they had gone to a hotel. I had someone look up their hotel records and indeed saw them going to a hotel together. But later, it seems that they had a fallout for some reason I’m unaware of.”

After saying all this, Yang Qingye asked Luo Ziling in a lower voice, “Brother-in-law, when you checked her pulse last time, were you certain that she was already pregnant?”

“She should be pregnant,” Luo Ziling spoke with conviction, “Based on the pulse, she should be about a month into the pregnancy.”

At this point, something seemed to occur to Luo Ziling, and he asked with a frown, “When was the last time you were intimate with her?”

“It should be five days after we ran into you guys; we’ve had a falling out since then and haven’t been together,” Yang Qingye confirmed the event confidently, then hung his head, “After that, she booked a room and asked me over, but I didn’t respond to her.”

“Five days after we ran into each other,” Luo Ziling lifted his head and started to calculate seriously, “That would be about forty-five days ago, right? It’s been around four or five days since I checked her pulse, but that seems to be a little off from the gestational age indicated by the pulse.”

Upon hearing Luo Ziling’s analysis, Yang Qingye immediately jumped up and said, “So you’re saying that it wasn’t me who planted the seed?”

Luo Ziling didn’t immediately respond, but instead looked at Yang Qingye with a playful expression.

Yang Qingye then slumped back down into his seat and muttered, “We always took protective measures, and I’ve always been very careful because I didn’t want any trouble. It looks like it must be someone else’s seed. She knows our family is wealthy, so she deliberately pinned it on me. That lousy bitch often acts all pitiful, but it turns out she just wanted to scam us for money!”

“It’s probably not that simple,” Luo Ziling reminded Yang Qingye, “If it were just about money, she wouldn’t have dragged me into this. And I don’t think this is something that the woman you mentioned could have planned all by herself. If she really was involved in this, there must be someone else helping her. Moreover, this might be a long-premeditated scheme, with many more moves to come.”

“What do you mean?” Yang Qingye didn’t completely understand.

Luo Ziling didn’t want to divulge his disputes with the Ling Family, so he vaguely said, “Many people are displeased with me and don’t want to see me with your sister, so they try everything to slander me, even sending assassins after me. They couldn’t do anything to me, and now they don’t dare to do anything openly, so they’ve changed their tack, resorting to these petty tricks and using some pawns to disgust us to death.”

Seeing the astonishment on Yang Qingye’s face, Luo Ziling added another explanation, “Of course, this is just my speculation, and I can’t be sure that your ex-girlfriend is involved.”

“Are you saying that it’s the Yang Family people who are planning this?” Knowing that the Yang Family disapproved of Luo Ziling and wouldn’t allow him to associate with Yang Qingyin, Yang Qingye immediately thought of this possibility after hearing Luo Ziling’s analysis.

“It’s unlikely to be your Yang Family,” Luo Ziling shook his head, “I’m not clear on who it could be, we’ll just have to play it by ear.”

What Luo Ziling and Yang Qingye didn’t know was that, while they were munching on bone burgers and discussing the issue, less than a kilometer away in a teahouse, a man and a woman were discussing a nearly identical topic.

A woman with a fairly pretty appearance sat there nervously, her hands clasped in front of her chest and wringing each other.

Her small gesture betrayed her inner anxiety. After glancing at the middle-aged man sitting across from her, leisurely sipping tea, she asked softly, “Mr. Wu, I’ve done as you ordered, but the post was later deleted by the forum administrator on that side, and the account was banned. It’s impossible to post anything similar now. I want to know, what else do you want me to do?”

“You’ve already made an impact, you did well,” the middle-aged man said, taking an envelope out of his pocket and pushing it towards the woman, “This is your first payment. As for what to do next, we’ll instruct you in due course. Both the Luos and the Yangs are no good—it’s crucial that you find a way to ruin their reputations.”

“I’m scared!”

“Are you not afraid of our young master?” Mr. Wu’s face turned cold as he said this.

Seeing the icy gaze of the man in front of her, and considering the sky-high power of the young master behind him, the woman turned pale.

Ultimately, she didn’t dare to resist at all.
