Chapter 335: Chapter 211: With a Trillion Lu Fans as Backing, Jiang Sifan Is Grateful

By the time Lu Fan returned to Jinling, it was already completely dark.

As the car pulled into the estate, Old Luo was already waiting at the door.

Seeing Lu Fan get out of the car, he hurried over, a hint of apology on his face.

"Boss, you’re back," Old Luo said. "I couldn’t get the young master to stay."

Lu Fan nodded. "How long did he stay?" he asked as he walked inside.

Old Luo followed behind, reporting every detail. "He stayed for about two hours. He saw the basketball court and the swimming pool, and he also went to the collection room to look at the photos. Miss Wen came with him, too."

Lu Fan paused and turned back to look at him. "He looked at the photos?"

"He did. Especially the one of you and the madam. He looked at it for a long time," Old Luo answered.

Lu Fan chuckled. "It’s fine," he said calmly. "It’s his first time here, so he was bound to feel out of place. It’s actually better that I wasn’t here. He was probably more comfortable that way."

"Boss, I really tried to get him to stay for dinner, but the young master insisted on leaving," Old Luo said, feeling a little guilty.

Lu Fan waved a dismissive hand and sat down on the sofa, his expression serene. "If there’s a first time, there will be a second. We’ll take it slow. We’ll just invite him to dinner again when the right opportunity comes along."

"By the way, Jiali, any news on your end?"

"All the prosecution materials for Xu Junjie’s case have been submitted, and the prosecutor’s office has accepted it," Jiali explained from the side. "The indictment has been filed with the court—defamation and ’picking quarrels and provoking trouble.’ The chain of evidence is complete. His father works at the court, so he should have received the official notice today."

Lu Fan grunted in acknowledgment. "Inform the school’s leadership about this," he said. "We need to make an example out of a case of slander like this. First, it will clear Sifan’s name. Second, it will serve as a warning to others."

"Understood. I’ll contact the school immediately," Jiali said with a nod.

After a moment’s thought, Lu Fan added, "This will also be a great gift for Sifan. It will let him truly feel that someone cares about him."

"Boss, you’re trying to mend the fences between father and son," Old Luo said with a chuckle.

"Every little bit helps," Lu Fan said calmly. He knew that once Sifan found out about this, his opinion of him was bound to improve.

He then leaned back on the sofa and gazed at the night outside the window.

’That kid... he must have felt so conflicted after seeing those photos today.’

He remembered Jiang Yixia in that photo. She was only eighteen then, and her smile was so sweet.

So many years had passed in a flash.

’Still so beautiful, her waist still so slender, that ass...’

He was confident that before long, he’d get to feel the power in those hips!

...

Early the next morning, news spread across the campus of Jinling Institute of Technology.

The news was that Xu Junjie’s slander of Jiang Sifan had been taken to court.

The atmosphere in Vice Principal Luo’s office was exceptionally tense.

Principal Luo sat behind his desk, facing several teachers and staff from the Academic Affairs Office.

His expression was grim. He tapped his fingers on the desk, not saying a word for a long time.

"Principal Luo, this is a copy of the indictment from the court," the Director of Academic Affairs said, handing over the document. "Slander and defamation. The circumstances are severe. A case has been formally filed."

Principal Luo took it and glanced it over, his expression growing even darker.

He recalled dealing with the issue between Xu Junjie and Jiang Sifan before. He had thought the Xu Family would properly discipline their son, but he never expected Xu Junjie to not only show no remorse, but to actually double down.

"Go get Xu Junjie," Principal Luo said in a low voice.

A short while later, Xu Junjie was brought into the office.

The moment he walked in and saw the room full of people, along with Principal Luo’s grim face, his heart sank.

"Principal Luo, you were looking for me?" he asked in a small voice that trembled slightly.

Principal Luo stared at him, his tone harsh. "Student Xu Junjie, I’m asking you: did you, or did you not, slander Jiang Sifan online?"

Xu Junjie’s face went pale. "I... I didn’t..." he stammered.

Principal Luo slammed his hand on the desk and shot to his feet. "You didn’t? They’ve already filed a lawsuit, and the indictment was sent right to my desk! And you still say you didn’t?"

"I... I did," Xu Junjie answered in a small voice, trembling with fear as he finally lowered his head.

Principal Luo took a deep breath, suppressing his anger. "Do you realize that this is illegal? Do you have any idea how malicious the repercussions of this are?"

Xu Junjie kept his head down, not daring to speak.

Looking at him, Principal Luo felt both angry and helpless.

He picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, is this Xu Junjie’s guardian? This is Principal Luo from Jinling Institute of Technology. I need you to come to the school immediately."

Mr. Xu’s voice came from the other end, tinged with exhaustion. "Principal Luo, I’m at the courthouse right now. I just received the indictment. I know what this is about. I’ll be right there."

"Alright. As quickly as you can." Principal Luo paused, surprised for a moment, then sighed.

After hanging up, he looked at Xu Junjie, his tone filled with disappointment. "Your father has already received the indictment at the courthouse. Think about it. Think about how big of a mess you’ve made."

At this, Xu Junjie’s face turned an even paler shade of white.

A wave of endless regret washed over him.

...

「Ten minutes earlier, at the Jinling Court.」

Mr. Xu sat in his office, an indictment spread out before him.

His face was ashen, and his hands were trembling slightly.

Every word on the indictment was like a knife twisting in his heart.

Defamation, "picking quarrels and provoking trouble," conclusive evidence, severe circumstances...

This was his son.

His own flesh and blood.

There was a knock on the office door.

Mr. Xu looked up and saw his superior standing in the doorway.
