277 Walking Straight, Sitting Upright, Seeing the Light
While Ye Xun was sitting at her desk doing problems, she suddenly received a call from her father. And the first sentence she heard after answering stunned the girl.
“Little Xun, I just met Wang Heng.”
After a few seconds of silence, Ye Xun still didn’t know what to say. And her father on the other end of the line continued:
“He transformed into an angel investor and threw out millions in one day. To be honest, even when our family was in the best condition, I wouldn’t invest like him. I just asked him, and he said he was just an ordinary student last year, and got rich by speculating in stocks and Bitcoin. Do you think it’s credible?”
Ye Xun stared at the glowing desk lamp until the shape of the lamp left a light imprint in her vision.
Then the girl whispered, “Why not believe it?”
Her father sighed. “I feel it’s too bizarre… How can anyone make tens of millions so easily? I’ve seen many business geniuses, but this is the first time I’ve encountered such an exaggerated one.”
Ye Xun: “Then do you think he is lying?”
Father: “I think we can investigate…”
“Investigate? Why investigate?” Ye Xun interrupted, “Did he do anything wrong to our family? Why investigate him for no reason?”
She was still considering whether to tell her father about Wang Heng helping her twice when they first met. But now it seemed she probably couldn’t say it. Otherwise, her father would definitely feel that all this was too coincidental, and his doubts would be deeper, right?
And now, to cover up her guilty conscience, Ye Xun’s tone couldn’t help but become a little irritable.
This surprised her father a little. “But he is your tutor!”
Ye Xun: “Yes, nothing happened except tutoring me, so why suspect him?”
Her father sighed. “Okay, Dad drank a little wine today, and my head isn’t very clear, so I won’t say more… By the way, I saw his female assistant before the dinner.”
Ye Xun raised an eyebrow. “Female assistant?”
“Yes, he has a male and a female assistant. The male one is very capable, and the female one is young and pretty, maybe a university student. She didn’t seem to do anything the whole time, and didn’t go to the dinner later…”
Listening to her father’s seemingly casual words, Ye Xun fell into deep thought.
Following Wang Heng, a young and pretty female assistant, such a role sounded like Han Yixuan no matter how you listened to it.
But thinking about it carefully, they were lovers, so isn’t it normal to be an assistant?
But… did Lu Qi and Pei Ningle know about this?

For Wang Heng, the night in Modu was lackluster except for dealing with Ye Xun’s father.
After the dinner, Wang Heng returned to the hotel with Assistant Shen. Then, he greeted Han Yixuan who came downstairs to pick him up, and went upstairs together to rest in their rooms.
A night passed, and the three took a plane from Modu back to Rongdu, and separated after landing—it was already the end of August, the day school started. Only Assistant Shen was stationed in the office, while Wang Heng and Han Yixuan had to return to school to continue classes.
The sophomore stage was almost the time with the most courses, and the schools of both required high grades from students, so they could only stay on campus.
When Wang Heng returned to dorm 414, his roommates had all arrived, including Little Tang’s white cat.
He put his backpack on his seat, took out the hamster cage and put it away, and suddenly noticed an extra piece of paper on the table.
It was the CET-4 score, 610 points.
Picking up this palm-sized paper, he turned around and found that the eyes of his three roommates were all focused on him.
“Didn’t you also cram for the exam…” Fu Hanwen said faintly, “Why did you get this score?”
Wang Heng asked subconsciously, “What’s your score?”
Fu Hanwen: “Three hundred something…”
At this time, Wang Ke suddenly reminded, “Neither Little Fu nor Little Tang passed. Teacher Wang, don’t ask them their specific scores, especially Little Tang. He was angry out of shame and wanted to hit me just now.”
Is it that exaggerated?
Wang Heng looked at Tang Hexing.
And Tang Hexing sighed and said in self-abandonment, “It doesn’t matter. Anyway, I am the true owner of this dorm. You can tell from the score.”
Wang Heng still couldn’t help asking, “So what’s your score exactly?”
Tang Hexing picked up his report card.
Wang Heng looked closely and saw that the number following the words ‘Total Score’ was 【414】, exactly the same as the door number of this dorm.
Wang Ke: “So Little Tang might have passed if he got two more questions right…”
Tang Hexing: “Little Ke, shut up!”
Just then, Wang Heng’s phone rang. Hearing that familiar sound, the three roommates quieted down tacitly and looked at him in unison.
While taking out his phone, Wang Heng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “It’s just a call, why are you staring at me?”
Fu Hanwen: “We are wondering which girl it is this time.”
“Who told you it’s a girl!” After Wang Heng shouted, he looked at the caller ID, it was Ye Xun.
Then, under the meaningful gazes of his roommates, he walked to the balcony in silence and closed the door between the balcony and the dormitory.
He had to avoid them to answer this call, otherwise, he didn’t know if his roommates would stick close to eavesdrop and jeer.
After answering the call, he heard Ye Xun’s slightly shy voice: “I saw someone online saying that the CET-4 scores are out. Senior, have you seen your CET-4 score?”
Wang Heng: “Over six hundred, not bad. Thanks for your pre-exam tutoring.”
Ye Xun chuckled softly. “Haha, over six hundred should be a great score, right? And Senior did well on his own, my role was very small. Of course, it’s great if it helped.”
Wang Heng: “Uh-huh, very good…”
When his voice fell, there was silence on both ends of the phone.
Wang Heng didn’t know the purpose of Ye Xun’s call. He could only guess secretly, did her dad tell her about the meeting at the dinner in Modu? Did she want to ask something?
Suddenly, Ye Xun asked, “Does Senior still live in the dormitory? Do your roommates know how rich you are now?”
Wang Heng: “No need to tell them.”
Ye Xun: “Because you don’t want to reveal your wealth?”
Wang Heng: “Yes, people hope their friends live well, but not too much better than themselves.”
Ye Xun: “Then why did you tell me…”
Wang Heng was instantly speechless.
Suddenly, the girl asked again, “Then does Senior have anything he doesn’t want others to know?”
Wang Heng: “What do you mean?”
Ye Xun: “Just, the kind you don’t want others to find out…”
Wang Heng understood immediately.
This must be something her dad said, probably saying he wanted to investigate him. But Wang Heng did speculate in Bitcoin and stocks, and the amount he helped Tan Meng and Lu Qi speculate with was indeed huge. Starting the investigation from this aspect, even if his privacy was really leaked, he had nothing to worry about.
So Wang Heng said calmly, “It doesn’t matter. I walk straight, sit upright, and can see the light.”
