During the meal, Wei Yuan did not take Liu Lei's words to heart. He always felt that even if Chang Wei harbored deep resentment towards him during the college entrance examination, it wouldn't be the time for him to put any effort into dealing with him.
After all, even if he had thoughts of revenge after the exam, he could do so at any time; there was no need to act during such a sensitive period.
However, Wei Yuan overlooked one thing: he had previously humiliated Chang Wei by ruthlessly hitting him in front of others multiple times, which he considered a great insult.
The power of resentment is quite exaggerated, leading Chang Wei to go to great lengths to make Wei Yuan's life difficult.
At this moment, Wei Yuan noticed that in the restaurant, his classmates from school were all unconsciously focusing their attention on him, occasionally whispering among themselves, which made him feel somewhat awkward.
"Isn't he Wei Yuan?"
"It should be. The so-called Young Divine Doctor has been all over the internet, right?"
"That information was dug up through human flesh search; it's not necessarily accurate."
"I'm sure it's him. I've seen his videos; just look at how he holds chopsticks—it's clearly someone used to holding silver needles."
Wei Yuan then realized that he had indeed become famous. After those videos went viral online, some busybody, mainly Liu Lei, revealed his school and class.
Other schools might not have noticed yet, but those from his own school quickly became aware of him. Previously, everyone was too focused on the tense college entrance examination to pay attention; it wasn't until their nerves relaxed that they realized the most popular celebrity from their school was sitting at the next table in the restaurant.
After they finished their meal, it was still not yet one o'clock in the afternoon. Since they had to return to school in a little over an hour, they couldn't go far and could only find a nearby classmate who lived close by. They rested briefly at that classmate's house and sat together drinking tea and chatting.
Drinking tea and chatting is a habit of Jinghai people; it's a way to relax themselves.
Around two-thirty, Liu Lei said, "It's about time to go."
Wei Yuan nodded and was just about to get up and leave when he suddenly stood up and saw through the window the entrance of the school where he had taken the college entrance examination.
It was extremely hot at this time, and theoretically, there shouldn't be many people at the entrance. However, Wei Yuan saw that over a hundred people had gathered at the school gate.
"What are those people doing?"
Wei Yuan felt a bit puzzled and looked closely, only to find several familiar faces among them—those were the people who had come to his house to demand debts before.
His father had been half-persuaded and half-coerced by Xu Feng, becoming Xu Feng's partner without understanding anything, and they opened a so-called Futures Investment Company, which was actually a premeditated scam.
Xu Feng had scammed millions, while his poor father became a scapegoat. Not only did he tragically fall to his death while being pursued by the police, but he also inexplicably ended up with millions in debt.
The creditors were naturally the victims deceived by Xu Feng. Clearly, they were the victims, but wasn't Wei Yuan's family also a victim?
With a ten percent monthly return rate, how could these people have been fooled if they hadn't believed Xu Feng's nonsense? Ultimately, it was greed that led them astray.
However, no matter what, since these people had come to the school, they couldn't possibly be there to cheer him on for the exam, right?
Moreover, Wei Yuan also spotted another person in the crowd: Chang Wei.
Just as Liu Lei had guessed, Chang Wei had been making phone calls since early morning at the exam venue, seemingly arranging something. He left before the exam ended, likely to gather these people and show them how he was being pursued for debts in front of such a large crowd.
Liu Lei noticed that Wei Yuan was lost in thought and walked over. Upon seeing Wei Yuan's troubled expression—his brows tightly knit and his face devoid of emotion—Liu Lei understood that he didn't know how to respond in this situation.
Liu Lei patted Wei Yuan's shoulder and said, "Let's go downstairs first and think of a way together."
Wei Yuan could only accompany Liu Lei downstairs. At that moment, Liu Lei took out his phone and made a call. Wei Yuan saw the name displayed on the phone was "Dad."
He naturally knew that Liu Lei was calling Liu Haisheng, and he heard him say, "Old man, are you at home?"
Since Liu Lei's phone was already loud, Wei Yuan could vaguely hear Liu Haisheng on the other end laughing, "Son, what's up? Are you calling to share good news or bad news? You didn't blank out on your first exam this morning, did you?"
While Wei Yuan envied the relationship between Liu Haisheng and his son, he also heard Liu Lei nervously say to his father, "It's definitely bad news, but it's not about me. Our exam school has gathered hundreds of people in a fire fight. I'm calling to report this to you because I'm worried about the safety of our candidates."
"Hundreds of people? Are you kidding?"
Liu Haisheng said in disbelief over the phone.
To prevent Liu Haisheng from taking this seriously and calling the police, Liu Lei added, "The police have already been notified. You should come over quickly."
"Okay, I'm on my way."
Liu Lei turned back to Wei Yuan with a smile and said, "It's fine now; let's let the old folks handle it."
"I'm afraid it won't be that simple," Wei Yuan said, staring ahead at that moment.
Liu Lei followed his gaze and saw Chang Wei across the way, wearing a victorious expression as he looked at Wei Yuan. It seemed that he had been planning this scheme for quite some time, all to ensure that Wei Yuan would fail even the college entrance examination, as a way to repay the humiliation Wei Yuan had brought upon him.
A person without brains could not come up with such a malicious idea.
While others worked hard for three years, he wanted to make all of Wei Yuan's efforts go to waste at this moment. This revenge was undeniably cruel, and Chang Wei, who devised this plan, had naturally prepared everything meticulously.
This included finding someone to keep an eye on Wei Yuan; otherwise, how could one talk about framing and revenge if the main character didn’t even show up?
So from the very beginning, after Wei Yuan finished his first exam and went out to eat with Liu Lei, among the classmates watching Wei Yuan, some indeed recognized him as the recently popular Young Divine Doctor online.
However, there was also one who had accepted benefits from Chang Wei and was responsible for tracking Wei Yuan. Therefore, when Wei Yuan came downstairs from a classmate's house who was relatively close to him, his whereabouts once again fell under Chang Wei's control.
Wei Yuan thought that during this sensitive period, Chang Wei wouldn’t take any action, which led him to underestimate the situation strategically.
“It’s either a blessing or a curse; if it’s a curse, it can’t be avoided. I want to see what he’s prepared to play with me.”
At this moment, Wei Yuan realized he couldn’t escape anymore and simply walked straight over. As soon as the nearly one hundred people gathered at the entrance saw Wei Yuan, they all focused their attention on him.
“This is Lao Wei’s son,” said a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties, pointing at Wei Yuan. Wei Yuan could clearly recognize him as the last person who came to his house to collect debts. The people before had taken many things from his home, and because he was in a hurry, he hadn’t managed to grab anything.
“It’s him; I’ve seen him online.”
A woman in her twenties also came to her senses and looked at Wei Yuan.
"He is now famous, being hailed by the television station as a Divine Healer, he must have made quite a bit of money."
The woman quickly added, and judging by her appearance, she seemed to come from a well-off family. Could it be that she was also caught up in that scam and had been tricked by Xu Feng?
"Then what are we waiting for? Make him pay back the money."
The creditors all consciously formed a circle, surrounding Wei Yuan in the middle, fearing that he might take the opportunity to escape.
"If he doesn't pay back the money, then he shouldn't think about getting in."
"A father's debt should be repaid by his son; it's only right."
"Pay back the money... pay back the money."
At this moment, the people around began to make noise. There were about twenty victims among them, while the others were likely relatives and friends they had brought along for support. They probably feared that Wei Yuan's newfound fame would make him difficult to deal with.
However, what left Wei Yuan both amused and exasperated was that although he had gained significant fame after curing Zhang Sheng's mother a few days ago, he hadn't earned much money at all.
Even if he did have money, it would be impossible for him to repay such an unjust debt. His father had died because of Xu Feng's scam, and now he was expected to scrape together money to pay off debts? What kind of logic was that?
Wei Yuan appeared very calm: "I don't care who incited you to come here; I can only give you an explanation in three months."
The people around him calmed down for a moment before continuing to chatter, "He's just trying to buy time. If we don't get the money today, he shouldn't expect to participate in the college entrance examination either."
"That's for sure. Their father and son won't let us have it easy, so why should we let him have it easy?"
At this moment, Wei Yuan's anger began to surge. Thinking of how his father had been made a scapegoat, dying with a lifetime of infamy, he was instantly filled with rage.
However, he understood very well that Chang Wei had spent so much time investigating his family affairs, and this performance was intended to embarrass him and even create conflict. He knew that if his position was unstable today, he could very well be beaten up by this group of ignorant fools.
But although Wei Yuan was still young, he was no longer childish when it came to handling problems. He understood when to regulate his emotions. At this moment, his greatest assurance was that even if more than twenty men rushed at him together, he still had the ability to protect himself.
"My father couldn't clear his name even with his life. You fools who only see immediate benefits without a shred of intelligence, I can tell you there's no money to be had, but you can take a life if you dare."
Wei Yuan's sudden outburst stunned everyone present. It dawned on them that the person they had surrounded was just a high school senior, a twenty-year-old boy; what could he possibly do?
"What are so many of you doing here?"
