Chapter 2173 Is there another person above?

The call was very brief, lasting only about a minute. During this brief exchange, Ye Ye simply said, "I understand," and then hung up without hesitation.

Lu Yue looked at Ye Ye's gloomy face, and his heart skipped a beat. An ominous premonition came over him. He wondered what had happened to make Ye Ye so unhappy.

The school's notice wasn't lengthy, but rather concise and clear. In just a few words, it explained the brawl between Ye and Li, and issued harsh penalties for Ye Ye and Lu Yue: a serious warning, probation, and the disqualification from taking the freshman assessment.

This decision was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Ye Ye. His expression became even uglier, his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about how to deal with it.

Ye Ye's connections were extensive, and he knew many influential figures from all walks of life. Initially, these connections had astonished Lu Yue. One night, unable to resist the urge to confide in him, he even mentioned this matter to Lu Donglai on the phone. At the time, Lu Donglai was also stunned and somewhat bewildered, realizing that he seemed to have discovered a true "dragon."

Therefore, Lu Yue subconsciously believed that the academy would only issue such an announcement in favor of Li Qifeng if Tian Qi, Li Lingzhi, Cui Yingying, and others hadn't intervened. Logically, Ye Ye only needed to make a phone call, and the matter would likely be resolved. Li Qifeng would have to swallow his anger and suffer in silence. Perhaps, given Ye Ye's personality, he would even receive a substantial compensation from Li Qifeng.

However, when Lu Yue saw Ye Ye's expression at the moment, he suddenly felt that things might not be that simple. Ye Ye's face was solemn, as if he had encountered some difficult problem.

"Tian Qing...Teacher Tian said she was temporarily transferred from her position."

Ye Ye spoke slowly, each word spoken clearly.

"The reason is that as a teacher at the academy, she failed to stop the dispute in time. She contacted Tian Qi, but Tian Qi told her to go home and rest for a few days."

After hearing Ye Ye's words, Lu Yue couldn't help but be stunned.

Tian Qingtian?

As a highly regarded junior member of the Tian family, Tian Qi holds a crucial position within the academy. Furthermore, many members of the Tian family are also members of the academy's leadership. Among them is the powerful Vice President, Tian Zhongzheng, who is a nephew of Tian Qi and has a close relationship with him. Given this backdrop, how could Tian Qingtian possibly be suspended?

To be frank, even if Tian Qingtian had rushed forward and stabbed Li Qifeng twice, given the Tian family's influence within the academy, the academy probably wouldn't have issued a more serious warning, like "suspension." After all, one has to give the Tian family face. At most, the two families would have negotiated privately to find a suitable solution.

"Yeah, the situation is a bit complicated..."

Ye Ye smacked his lips and spoke thoughtfully. A strange expression crossed his face, as if he was perplexed and puzzled by the situation. Normally, this kind of thing would be a piece of cake for Tian Qi. Whether it was Tian Qi himself, Cui Yingying, who had a close relationship with Tian Qi, or even Li Lingzhi, who was most useful in this matter, Ye Ye could easily resolve the problem by using any one of them.

However, Tian Qi suddenly showed such a contrasting attitude, which made Ye Ye keenly grasp a hint of a different possibility.

At this moment, Lu Yue, who had been silent, seemed to finally be unable to help and suddenly spoke.

"Brother Ye, I think you should call Director Cui or Director Li Lingzhi! The freshman assessment is tomorrow..."

There was a hint of urgency and anxiety in his voice.

A complex expression crossed Lu Yue's face, one of worry and resignation. If they were truly the perpetrators of violence, then he had nothing to say; after all, they were at fault. However, what had happened the previous two days struck him as deeply unfair. It was clearly Li Qifeng's fault, so why were they the ones being punished? And yet, Li Qifeng acted as if nothing had happened. This was a blatant conspiracy, a blatant abuse of power!

Hearing Lu Yue's words, Ye Ye did not respond immediately, but shook his head slowly, looking somewhat helpless. He was silent for a moment, then said.

"Since Tian Qi doesn't care about this matter, then Cui Yingying and Li Lingzhi are probably even less capable of doing so. I have a feeling this matter isn't just a matter of the hospital, but something's wrong higher up."

Thinking of this, Ye Ye's thoughts seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, and his eyes suddenly became a little dazed. The scene of the fight with Li Qifeng and others at the school gate quickly flashed through his mind. Although he didn't participate in the battle too much at that time, his peripheral vision was always paying attention to the movements around him.

At that moment, he noticed the old man next to Tian Qingtian. When Ying and others used various means to fight the enemy, Ye Ye clearly saw that the old man's eyes kept changing, as if he had discovered something important.

Ye Ye's words instantly darkened Lu Yue's expression, and his originally expectant expression was replaced by disappointment. However, Lu Yue did not give up easily. The unwillingness in his heart made him doubt Ye Ye's statement.

Seeing Lu Yue's reaction, Ye Ye's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a faint smile. He seemed to have expected Lu Yue to have such a reaction, so he slowly picked up the light computer and dialed Cui Yingying's communication application without hesitation, and even turned on the hands-free function so that Lu Yue could also hear the content of the call.

However, unexpectedly, the call was disconnected after a few beeps. Ye Ye was not surprised. He immediately called Li Lingzhi again, and the result was the same.

"See? Something must have happened."

Ye Ye put away his laptop and spoke with a confident look on his face.

"Something happened? What could possibly happen to them? In China, the three of them represent the strongest military force and the most powerful family backgrounds. Not only in China, but also on Morning Star, they are the absolute authority."

Facing Ye Ye's words, Lu Yue asked with some confusion.

"Who says they have absolute authority? There's someone above them."

Ye Ye laughed, stretched out his index finger and pretended to push it upwards.

Looking at Ye Ye's actions, Lu Yue, who had a quick mind, suddenly stopped breathing.

"what do you mean?"

"Well, who knows what this old man is up to, let's just take it one step at a time... It's a headache."

Ye Ye sighed. These past few days, his mind had been working non-stop, and he had deduced some potentially incredible facts from some clues.

trouble!
