NOVEL NEXT Chapter 416 Extortion
Hearing Ye Haiyang's words, the dean of academic affairs' complexion grew increasingly unsightly.
Just as he had suspected, this guy had come to threaten them.
Did they really have to repay the student's debts?
It was eight million, not eight hundred yuan. The school couldn't possibly help a student with repayment.
But if they didn't come up with the money, and Ye Haiyang really posted this information online, although it was the student's personal actions, it would still negatively impact the school's reputation.
Those parents wouldn't care whether it was personal behavior or not.
In the eyes of the parents, it would be the school's failure to teach its students properly.

By then, if the school's reputation was ruined, who would dare to apply?
Instantly, the dean of academic affairs' face was filled with bitterness.
They said not to expel Ye Haiyang, but Xu Yang chose not to listen.
Now look, without even going home to find his parents, Ye Haiyang used this move and put the school in a dilemma.
At this moment, Ye Haiyang spoke again, "Director, I understand your difficulty, and there's still room for negotiation on this matter."
The dean of academic affairs was taken aback, then quickly understood, "Do you want the school to revoke the expulsion decision against you?"
Ye Haiyang said with a grin, "Exactly!"
The dean of academic affairs shook his head, "Impossible. The decision about you was made by Mr. Xu, and it can't be revoked."
The smile on Ye Haiyang's face solidified.
He hadn't expected the dean of academic affairs to reject him so bluntly.
You could at least say you'd ask first.
Did they really not fear him exposing the information?
Cai Xiaohui, who had been silent, spoke up, his tone arrogant, "Damn, you really have a thick face for not wanting face. Since it's like that, I'll just expose the material and see who dares to come to your school in the future!"
The dean of academic affairs wanted to say something, but suddenly a voice came from outside the door.
"If you want to expose it, then go ahead. I won't stop you."
Accompanied by the voice, a young man walked in.
"Mr. Xu," the dean of academic affairs immediately stood up and walked over.
"Kid, what are you saying, letting us expose it? Aren't you afraid your school's reputation will stink? Who will come to study at your school in the future? Your investment will definitely go down the drain!" Ye Haiyang yelled loudly.
"Do you know who I am?" Xu Yang didn't pay attention to Ye Haiyang but stared at Cai Xiaohui and asked.
"I know, you're the boss of Jiangcheng Business College, Ye Haiyang has already told me, and I've seen your photos on the internet. But so what? You're rich and impressive, but no matter how impressive you are, you can't control what's above my head. The business I run, no matter how capable you are, you can't possibly hinder its development," Cai Xiaohui said.
"Do you really think so?" Xu Yang said with a cold laugh.
"Bullshit, are you going to stop students from taking loans from me? Unless you give them money to satisfy their consumption, would you do that?" Cai Xiaohui said with a sneer.
"I wouldn't do that; that's idiotic behavior. But what I want to tell you is, you're done for," Xu Yang said.
Done for?
Cai Xiaohui was stunned.
He really couldn't understand how he was done for.
His good days had just begun.
Campus loans could go on forever.
Many college students have vanity and a need for premature consumption; there's no fear of lacking business.
But before he could say anything, the door to the office opened, and several policemen walked in. The leading officer came up to Cai Xiaohui and Ye Haiyang and said in a stern voice, "You are from the Xiaohui Loan Company, right?"
"What do you want to do?" Cai Xiaohui felt a bad premonition.
"You're suspected of extortion, please come with us for an investigation!" the leading police officer said.
Upon hearing this, Ye Haiyang exploded, "What nonsense are you talking about? This is a private loan, all based on mutual consent. At most, the interest is a bit high, maybe usurious, but that's a civil dispute. You can't arrest us."
The policeman chuckled, "I'm surprised you know the law, but sadly, not well enough. If you were only requesting the students to repay the principal with normal interest, that wouldn't be an issue. However, the interest you're demanding has already exceeded the principal by several times. That's the least of it.
You're using these documents to threaten Jiangcheng Business College, which already constitutes extortion. That alone is enough for a prison sentence."
After finishing his words, a few police officers immediately stepped forward, and without further ado, subdued the two men and handcuffed them.
Cai Xiaohui's face turned pale in an instant.
He hadn't expected Xu Yang to use such a tactic.
He thought that no matter what Xu Yang did, he wouldn't be able to touch him.
But now, with Xu Yang's approach and considering Xu Yang's identity, he feared he was really in trouble.
Ye Haiyang, on the other hand, showed no sign of fear; instead, he glared at Xu Yang and shouted, "Damn it, Xu Yang, you actually dare to screw me over like this? Just you wait, I'll make sure you pay for this!"
Xu Yang just smiled indifferently, not taking Ye Haiyang's words seriously.
"Take them away!"
The police officers led the two men away.
They got into the police car.
Ye Haiyang arrogantly said, "I want to call my dad, informing a family member is my right when I'm arrested, and you can't deprive me of this right for any reason."
The policeman laughed upon hearing this, "Smart kid, no problem. What's your dad's phone number? I'll use my phone to call him for you."
Ye Haiyang recited his father's phone number.
The policeman dialed the number.
Soon, the call connected, and a young man's voice came through, "Hello, Chairman Ye is in a meeting, may I ask who is calling?"
Hearing the title "Chairman Ye," the police officer hesitated for a moment but still said, "Hello, I am from Jiangcheng Police Station. Ye Haiyang is suspected of extortion, and we are bringing him in for investigation. He wanted to inform his family."
Ye Haiyang immediately shouted, "Is that Assistant Liu? Assistant Liu, I've been arrested by the police. Quickly inform my dad to save me!"
"Haiyang? Alright, I will notify Chairman Ye immediately," Assistant Liu promptly ended the call.
The policeman who made the call furrowed his brows.
The faces of the other officers looked rather grim as well.
This Chairman Ye sounded like a big shot.
Seeing the expressions on the officers' faces, Ye Haiyang chuckled and said, "Let me tell you, it's not that I'm bragging, but give it five minutes and you'll get a call telling you to release me. If you don't get that call, then you can call me your daddy!"
Ye Haiyang's words conveyed absolute confidence.
His confidence stemmed from his father.
His father, Ye Taian, was the Chairman of the Jiangcheng branch of the Longhua Charity Association.
The title didn't sound all that impressive; it didn't seem to speak of someone powerful.
That could not be further from the truth.
The provincial Longhua Charity Association was a charitable organization owned by Tang Jinglong, the eldest son of the prestigious Tang family.
Each city's branch chairman was personally appointed by Tang Jinglong, and each one was among his close confidants.
Though someone like Ye Taian might not be as wealthy as those businessmen tycoons,
under the leadership of Tang Jinglong, Ye Taian had made many influential connections.
As the Chairman of the Jiangcheng branch of the Longhua Charity Association, Ye Taian often had tea with city government leaders.
There was a saying that described how influential Ye Taian was in Jiangcheng.
That was, if Ye Taian wasn't invited to a charity event in Jiangcheng, one would be embarrassed to say they were hosting a charitable gathering.
Ye Haiyang's words soon proved true. The police car had barely left the campus when less than five minutes had passed before the leading officer's phone rang.
