Chapter 50: Chapter 50 Sneaky and Crafty

"Don’t listen to his nonsense!"

Ming Yue panicked. She had always believed Ye Xiu was unaware that the Ming Family was one of the masterminds behind the plot against him. To her shock, he had known all along.

But if he knew, why has he never taken action against my family? she wondered, unable to figure it out.

At this moment, she couldn’t afford to dwell on that question. She couldn’t admit the truth. If she did, the Xing Family would know her real reason for agreeing to the marriage was to use their power against Ye Xiu. So, she braced herself and demanded, "You claim the Ming Family was one of the masterminds who framed you. Do you have any evidence?"

"Are you sure you want me to present it?" Ye Xiu asked, his tone deceptively mild. "I should warn you, once I show the evidence, I’ll have to take action against the Ming Family."

"The innocent have nothing to fear," Ming Yue said with a shrug. "If you have evidence, bring it out. Otherwise, I’ll sue you for slander."

In her mind, he had nothing. Even Huang Xinming wouldn’t have kept any proof. If he did, Ye Xiu wouldn’t be wasting so much time talking.

"The evidence is here!"

At that exact moment, the Ghost Doctor pushed the door open and walked in.

"Are you sure you want to see it in public?" Ye Xiu asked her.

Ming Yue’s heart skipped a beat, but she forced herself to stand her ground. "Stop bluffing! You couldn’t possibly have any evidence, because the Ming Family wasn’t involved in the first place."

"It seems you won’t shed a tear until you see the coffin," Ye Xiu sighed, then turned to the Ghost Doctor. "Show her the evidence."

"Okay!" The Ghost Doctor ran to the computer, inserted a USB drive, and with a few clicks, a video began to play on the projector.

The moment Ming Yue saw the video, she nearly fainted. The projector was playing surveillance footage of her and Ming Hao’s secret meeting with Huang Xinming, the audio crystal clear.

The teachers and students in the room erupted into an uproar. So what Ye Xiu said was true! The Ming Family really were the masterminds who had manipulated Huang Xinming to frame him.

"Did you think Huang Xinming was a fool?" Ye Xiu said, glaring coldly at Ming Yue. "After you coerced him into something as huge as framing me, did you really think he wouldn’t plan an escape route?

"He was afraid the Ming Family would silence him afterward, so he secretly recorded your meeting, keeping the video as an Amulet.

"And by a stroke of luck, when Huang Xinming had his computer repaired five years ago, my people managed to make a copy."

Ming Yue stood dumbstruck, a torrent of horror swirling within her, leaving her utterly panicked. The evidence Ye Xiu had just presented was a fatal blow to her and the Ming Family!

"I also have evidence of your grandfather, parents, and your aunt’s family plotting together. Should I play that for everyone to see, too?" Ye Xiu asked mockingly.

"Don’t!" Ming Yue shrieked, collapsing to her knees. Snot and tears streamed down her face as she begged, "Please don’t, Ye Xiu! Don’t play it! I beg you, don’t make the evidence public!"

She knew perfectly well that once Ye Xiu released the evidence, the Ming Family wouldn’t just be ruined—they would all go to jail.

"Get up! Don’t beg him!" Xing Haiqing pulled Ming Yue to her feet and glared at Ye Xiu threateningly. "If you dare make that evidence public, I won’t let you off the hook."

His words were a jolt to Ming Yue’s spirit. She looked at him in disbelief and asked, "After all this, you’re still willing to help me?"

"You’re my fiancée, the woman I love most in this world. No matter what you’ve done wrong, I will always stand by your side," Xing Haiqing declared passionately.

Ming Yue was overjoyed. As long as Xing Haiqing stood firmly by her side, she had no reason to fear Ye Xiu. Wiping away her tears, she turned back to him. "This is Xing Haiqing of the Xing Family, and he’s my fiancé. I advise you to think long and hard about whether you can afford to provoke the Xing Family before you release any evidence."

Xing Haiqing? No wonder Ming Yue dared to show her hand; she’d found herself a powerful backer. Ye Xiu was no stranger to the Xing Family or Xing Haiqing. As one of Jin Ye City’s four notorious young masters, Xing Haiqing was a strange one. He was famously lecherous, yet he had been obsessed with Ming Yue since childhood. For her sake, he was capable of anything. Ming Yue had played her cards well! A pity, though... even the world’s most powerful family would be helpless before the Butcher’s Knife of Huang Quan.

"What’s wrong? Scared?" Seeing the grave expression on Ye Xiu’s face, Ming Yue grew smug. "Aren’t you supposed to be so powerful? Go on, release the evidence if you have the guts. Destroy me and the Ming Family, if you dare."

Murong and all the teachers and students were so furious they felt they might explode. This woman was utterly shameless. The Ghost Doctor’s expression turned grim, his fists clenched tightly. He was ready to shatter Ming Yue’s skull the moment Ye Xiu gave the word.

"Teacher Ye, you have the evidence, so why not sue the Ming Family?" Murong demanded angrily. "You can finally clear your name!"

"I don’t believe the Xing Family is above the law! Divine Doctor, just say the word, and I’ll help you file the lawsuit!"

"This is too much! Teacher Ye, how can you stand for this? I know I can’t!" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"We can all pitch in to hire a legion of online commenters! We’ll post the video online. I refuse to believe the Xing Family can do anything once the whole country sees it!"

The teachers and students were filled with righteous indignation, all urging Ye Xiu to release the evidence.

"He doesn’t dare!" Ming Yue declared with absolute certainty. "Once the evidence is public, the Ming Family’s reputation might be ruined, and Ye Xiu might clear his name. But how will he face the wrath of the Xing Family?"

Ye Xiu let out a humorless laugh at her smug expression. "I won’t be releasing the evidence," he said. "You and Xing Haiqing can go now. Rest assured."

At his words, the teachers and students grew frantic, unable to believe that Ye Xiu had actually been intimidated by the Xing Family. The Ghost Doctor frowned. He was the only one who knew Ye Xiu wasn’t afraid of a family like the Xings, but he couldn’t figure out his master’s plan.

"So you know what’s good for you." Ming Yue looped her arm through Xing Haiqing’s and strode away triumphantly, like a conqueror.

As they left the classroom, Murong glared after them and spat, "Coward!"

The teachers and students were also deeply disappointed in Ye Xiu. They had idolized him, yet here he was, acting so timid and afraid.

Ye Xiu paid no mind to the disappointed looks from Murong and the students. He simply smiled at the Ghost Doctor and said, "Make a copy of the evidence and send it to Old Master Xing."

Hearing this, the Ghost Doctor, Murong, and the students froze for a moment before their faces lit up with ecstatic understanding.

So, Ye Xiu wasn’t afraid of the Xing Family at all! He had just devised a much more cunning method to deal with Ming Yue.

Old Master Xing isn’t Xing Haiqing. He would understand perfectly well the massive impact of this evidence. If it went public and the Xing Family still chose to protect the Ming Family, they would immediately face a nationwide public outcry. If the old master had any sense at all, he would never take such a risk for Ming Yue.

"I didn’t realize you were so devious," Murong remarked.

Ye Xiu was speechless. This, my friend, is called wisdom!
