After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved-Chapter 352: Fifth Brother Holds Grudges More Than Anyone

Chapter 352: Chapter 352: Fifth Brother Holds Grudges More Than Anyone

That night, after coming out of the police station, Peng Hongyuan learned about the causes and consequences of the incident online.

Initially, he only had suspicions about Jiang Yusheng, but he didn’t expect that everything was indeed orchestrated by Jiang Yusheng.

Seeing the evidence and screen recordings of the live broadcast released on Lu Sheng’s Weibo, Peng Hongyuan finally realized what kind of person Jiang Yusheng was.

Deliberately slandering and tarnishing his reputation, all to retaliate for his opposition to Jiang Yusheng’s promotion to dean.

The pettiness and malice behind it are simply appalling.

Especially with Jiang Mengmeng’s case involved, it’s utterly inhumane.

Therefore, upon knowing that Lu Sheng had been released from the police station, Peng Hongyuan firstly expressed his sincere gratitude for Lu Sheng stepping forward to clarify on his behalf when he was being viciously attacked online, and for later following Jiang Yusheng and finding concrete evidence to clear his name.

Secondly, the day after the incident, he filed a personal lawsuit in court against Jiang Yusheng for defamation.

The slander of Peng Hongyuan by Jiang Yusheng, along with the previous rape and threatening of Jiang Mengmeng with nude photos, caused widespread public attention and strong outrage.

The eyes of the entire society were watching how this case was being handled.

Thus, even if Jiang Yusheng wanted to pull strings to manipulate things secretly, no one in the public security departments dared to cut him any slack.

The cooperation among the public security, procuratorate, and judiciary was extremely efficient, and the arrest warrant issued by the prosecutors came swiftly, leading to Jiang Yusheng being quickly detained in the detention center.

What’s even more gratifying is that, since the case made the TV news, Jiang Yusheng’s beastly behavior has become known almost universally.

Before even being convicted and imprisoned, Jiang Yusheng had already been severely beaten several times by others in the detention center.

One can only imagine what life will be like for him in prison as a convicted rapist for the next couple of decades.

Thus, the event which had been a hot topic on social media for three to four days finally came to an end.

As for Lu Sheng.

Although she never posted any new Weibo updates again, Lu Sheng’s number of Weibo followers continued to grow, reaching over two million.

For a high school student who has only posted two Weibo updates and is neither a celebrity nor an internet sensation, this number of followers is quite phenomenal.

Half a month ago, Lu Sheng and Chen Shu fell unconscious in a rooftop restaurant, and afterward, she ran a fever for an entire day.

When she first regained consciousness, Lu Sheng had tried to use Soul Power to reduce her fever but it had no effect whatsoever.

Her fever was solely managed through IV fluids.

At that moment, Lu Sheng felt that it was because her Soul Power had weakened.

After all, a Demon has only two ways to replenish Soul Power: either harm people and draw Soul Power from their bodies and pain, or draw it from their admiration and love.

But at that time, due to a broken leg and having stayed at home in a cast for over two months, Lu Sheng had barely gone out or appeared online, so it was natural for her Soul Power to diminish.

Now, because her identity as a hidden powerful figure had been exposed, along with her actions against Jiang Yusheng, many people genuinely admired her on the internet.

This turned Lu Sheng’s once barren Soul Power increasingly abundant.

This ample Soul Power made her more and more beautiful.

If previously, the original host was frail and only considered delicate in looks, now every strand of Lu Sheng’s hair shimmered with vitality.

Her skin was as white as snow, smooth and delicate, her waist slim but not frail. Her features became even more exquisitely beautiful, her demeanor still cool but dazzling.

On the way back from the police station that day, Jiang Ting mentioned planning a party at home and inviting the classmates from class A to attend along with Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng initially thought Jiang Ting was just saying it casually, but she really took it to heart.

And over the week after returning home, she began preparing fervently.

She personally went shopping with the driver for various festive decorations, directly supervised the chefs in arranging the buffet and desserts, discussed with Lu Sheng about the list of classmates to invite, and even had people make custom invitations.

In fact, when deciding on the invitee list with Jiang Ting, Lu Sheng didn’t deliberately avoid anyone.

Speaking of which, if it weren’t for the incident with Jiang Yusheng, she hardly knew anyone in her class and never even spoke to them, let alone became familiar.

But back then, when she was cyberbullied and taken to the police station, many classmates actively stood up to speak for her.

So since we’re inviting classmates, might as well invite them all.

However, Lu Sheng is magnanimous, but Lu Youye is not so forgiving.

Or rather, anyone who ever hurt Lu Sheng, he holds grudges more than anyone else.

Seeing Hu Yun on the list—

"This Hu Yun is no good! She used to be Qianrou’s lackey, and followed Qianrou to do many bad things against Shengsheng."

Lu Youye snorted coldly, "When Shengsheng first came to Jiang City, I took her to a mall to buy a phone, and this daughter of a nouveau riche, Hu Yun, dared to mock Shengsheng for not being in the same social class and even stripped off her dirty and stinky phone case to insult Shengsheng."

"Seeing her, I want to slap her, yet invite her to our house? Impossible!"

That was such a long time ago.

Lu Sheng herself has forgotten, and unexpectedly, Lu Youye still remembers.

Seeing Tang Yiyi on the list—

"Tang Yiyi? Isn’t she that idiot who lost her pants because she wanted to challenge Shengsheng in equestrian at school last time?"

Lu Youye gritted his teeth, "It’s because of her that Shengsheng fell off the horse later on and broke her leg, resting for more than two months!"

"If she really comes, I’ll tie her to that horse in our backyard and make her run 180 laps, let her be jolted to death by the horse!"

Seeing Lin Ya on the list—

"This woman, I know her too! She’s a blabbermouth, always bad-mouthing people behind their backs."

Lu Youye clenched his fist, "There was one time I caught her gossiping about Shengsheng in the hallway with Tang Yiyi."

"It pissed me off, if she were a man, I would’ve beaten her up so bad her mom wouldn’t recognize her!"

Seeing Meng Bin on the list—

"Isn’t this guy Fu Chen’s good brother?"

Lu Youye squinted sarcastically, "Birds of a feather flock together, anyone who hangs out with Fu Chen can’t be good, cross him off!"

Seeing Lu Youye while talking, crossed out seven or eight names on the list, which are said to be people who previously disliked Lu Sheng, had made slanderous comments about Lu Sheng, or had bad characters.

In the end, Lu Youming was almost speechless, looking at his younger brother.

"If I remember correctly, you are in class E, right?"

"Why do you know these people in the class better than me and Shengsheng?"

"This is all the result of years of mingling in forums and gossiping," Lu Youye lifted his chin, a proud look on his face.

"And also, because I care a lot about Shengsheng,"

Lu Youye blinked, suddenly teasing, "No way, no way, there can’t be a brother in the same class as his sister yet unaware who has bullied his sister, right?"

That remark left Lu Youming at a loss for words.

Because this kind of thing that needs gossip to know, he really didn’t know at all.

Even after staying in the class for three years, he couldn’t even match the names to faces of more than five people.

Anyway, no matter what, the final invitation list was decided like this, and the time for the party was also set.

It’s two days later, on Saturday night.
