Chapter 410: Chapter 409: It Must Be Her
Ding Yuejun saw Liao Youcai’s expression, her eyes icy cold, and directly had Pei Wu bring him to Mr. Ding.
Mr. Ding saw Liao Youcai on the ground and couldn’t help but ask, "Who is this person?"
"Dad, this man drugged me."
Ding Yuejun explained what had happened before and finally said, "This is the first time I’ve met this man today, yet he immediately drugged me. I suspect someone deliberately set this up, and maybe he’s the one who ruined those clothes too."
Hearing Ding Yuejun’s words, Mr. Ding was too angry to speak. He glared coldly at Liao Youcai, as if looking at a dead man. "Since he dared to drug you, let him taste the same medicine."
At this moment, Liao Youcai was struck speechless by shock.
Although he hadn’t met Mr. Ding in real life, he recognized him because this intimidating elder often appeared on TV, and Ding Yuejun turned out to be his daughter. He hadn’t heard any rumors before, and realizing this left Liao Youcai in shock. He hurriedly said, "Old Master, it’s all my fault. I gave in to lust, I truly deserve to die."
In the end, Liao Youcai slapped himself repeatedly before continuing, "Old Master, drugging your daughter wasn’t my idea. Someone instructed me to do it. It was Pan Jun. He said that today Boss Ding would be here and told me to seize the opportunity to drug Boss Ding. As for the clothing, I really don’t know, I swear I didn’t ruin them."
"Who is Pan Jun?"
After hearing Liao Youcai’s words, Mr. Ding casually asked.
"Pan Jun is an old acquaintance of mine, who used to idle around, but suddenly got funding to start a business and grew bigger and bigger. I gradually got to know him well. We had a meal together this time, and he told me about Boss Ding. He said that if I succeeded, he would hand over a project proposal to me. That’s why I was confused and drugged Boss Ding."
As he spoke, Liao Youcai kept slapping himself. Even though his cheek was swollen, he didn’t stop.
Mr. Ding was unmoved and waved his hand, instructing his men to take Liao Youcai away. He then ordered someone to investigate Pan Jun.
Once everything was arranged, Mr. Ding turned to Ding Yuejun and said, "Yue Jun, you don’t need to worry about this matter. I’ll make sure we thoroughly investigate it. For now, you should go rest."
"Alright, I’ll leave it to you, Dad."
"You silly child, there’s no need for thanks between us. Since someone dared to target you, I will make him regret it for a lifetime."
Ding Yuejun was also angered by the day’s events, so she nodded in agreement and said, "Right, if no one offends me, I won’t offend them. But if someone wants to harm me, I can’t let them get away with it."
The father and daughter chatted a bit more before Ding Yuejun returned to her courtyard.
Yiyi wasn’t aware of this matter at first, only finding out two days later. Once she did, she hurried home right after school.
"Mom, are you alright?"
Seeing her daughter return, Ding Yuejun quickly smiled and said, "Don’t worry, I’m fine. You really didn’t need to rush home."
"Mom, something this big happened, you should have told me earlier."
Ding Yuejun didn’t treat it as anything serious, since nothing happened to her. "Don’t worry, Xiao Wu has been with me the whole time, so I wasn’t in any danger."
Hearing this, Yiyi disagreed and said, "What if something like last time happens again? Xiao Wu and his group are few in number. If the other side has more people, then it’s hard to say."
"Alright, alright, next time I’ll be more careful."
Seeing this, Yiyi didn’t ask further and only inquired about the situation at the time.
After hearing her mother recount the incident, she frowned and said, "The clothes being ruined and you being drugged must be connected. It’s too coincidental otherwise."
Ding Yuejun agreed and nodded, saying, "I think so too, but we’ll have to wait and see what your grandfather’s investigation finds."
"I’ll go ask Grandpa about it right now."
With that, Yiyi couldn’t wait any longer and went to find Mr. Ding.
When Mr. Ding saw his granddaughter returning, he greeted her with a smile. After she inquired about Ding Yuejun’s incident, he recounted the current investigation’s findings. "Liao Youcai wasn’t lying. It was indeed someone named Pan Jun who guided him to do this. But that Liao Youcai isn’t a good person himself, greedy and lecherous, harming many young women. A good lesson this time might teach him a thing or two."
After hearing Mr. Ding’s words, Yiyi became curious about who exactly Pan Jun was.
Mentioning Pan Jun, Mr. Ding snorted coldly and said, "This man is well-hidden, but our people eventually found him. He’s Zheng Xiangxin’s old flame, and they’ve been involved for many years. This time Zheng Xiangxin followed Wei Hanliang to Shangjing, and Pan Jun came along too."
Upon hearing this, Yiyi was full of surprise, and her expression turned completely cold.
"Pan Jun doing this, was it Zheng Xiangxin’s orders?"
"This is something I’ve just uncovered, so it’s not clear whether Pan Jun’s actions were his own or directed by Zheng Xiangxin. But since he dared to order someone to do this, regardless of whether it’s his idea, I won’t let him get away with it."
Yiyi naturally felt the same.
If Pei Wu hadn’t been with her mother, her mother would surely have fallen into the trap this time. Such an ordeal would be a painful experience for any woman. Naturally, she hoped that everyone involved in this plot would be punished. "Grandpa, and what about Liao Youcai?"
"Hmph... Keeping such a person around is a menace to society, so I’ve already had him sent back to his hometown. Of course, all the wealth he amassed through unscrupulous means, I’ve made sure he returned it all."
Seeing that Mr. Ding had everything well arranged, Yiyi felt very relieved. "Grandpa, it’s been hard on you this time. Please find the person who tried to harm my mother, so she won’t face danger again."
"Rest assured, I’ll get to the bottom of this. I won’t let anything happen to Yue Jun."
Before finding his daughter, he had no choice. Now that his daughter and granddaughter were right under his care, he certainly wouldn’t allow any threat to harm them.
When Ding Yuejun learned that the person instructing Liao Youcai was Zheng Xiangxin’s lover, her expression turned very ugly.
"That Zheng Xiangxin, I haven’t even exposed her affair, yet she dares to plot against me. Such nerve."
Upon hearing this, Yiyi couldn’t help but ask, "Mom, are you sure it’s Zheng Xiangxin’s idea?"
"Hmph... I don’t even know Pan Jun, so why would he want to harm me? It must be Zheng Xiangxin."
