At the entrance of Modu University.
A low-key yet luxurious rolls-royce phantom silently pulled over to the side.
Lu Cheng had changed out of his usual sharp attire, now dressed in a casual outfit that was understated but of excellent quality, softening the sharpness around him.
The colors were also soft, greatly toning down the 'don't-come-near-me' edge he usually carried.
Standing there, he looked like a gentle, slightly languid, noble senior student who had just stepped out of a fashion magazine.
The inherent calm and air of a superior, even in casual wear, couldn't be hidden; in fact, this approachability made him even more eye-catching.
Many girls secretly glanced his way.
He was like a male protagonist with a soft-focus effect, simply standing there was a scene.
Soon.
A figure jogged over from not far away.
It was Xia Qinghe.
Her face carried a trace of lingering nervousness, and an unconcealed joy upon seeing Lu Cheng.
She was like a startled fawn who had finally found her anchor.
She quickly ran to Lu Cheng, slightly out of breath.
"Lu, Lu Brother Cheng!"
Her voice was soft and sweet, with a hint of shyness.
"You, you're here..."
She instinctively moved closer to Lu Cheng, her small actions full of a desire for protection, as if only by being near him could she feel at ease.
"Just now... just now I was really scared to death."
She complained softly, her delicate brows slightly furrowed.
"There was a weird man, dressed all dirty, who suddenly came up to talk to me, and his eyes were so scary..."
Lu Cheng listened to her rambling, a gentle and patient smile always on his face, and reached out, naturally wrapping an arm around her slender waist.
The girl's body stiffened slightly, instinctively, but only for a moment, then softened, leaning into him obediently, her small head almost buried in his chest.
"There, there, it's alright now, don't be scared."
Lu Cheng's voice was deep and gentle, as if comforting a frightened small animal.
"Next time you encounter someone like that, just call me, hmm?"
His words sounded like concern, but his tone also carried an undeniable possessive protectiveness, like a superior towards his own property.
He took Xia Qinghe's soft little hand and led her towards a nearby cafe.
Xia Qinghe.
A top student in the finance department of Modu University.
Originally, her future was bright.
But due to a sudden family misfortune, her mother was severely injured in a car accident, the surgery fees were astronomical, and her father, overcome with anxiety, also collapsed from exhaustion.
Their entire home was on the verge of collapsing.
According to the original plot, this would be the moment for a reborn male protagonist to make a dazzling appearance, stage a 'hero saving the beauty' scene, complete a crucial point of making up for past regrets, and incidentally capture the heart of this pure, innocent girl.
What a pity... the script was intercepted by Lu Cheng.
He took a step ahead, appearing like a god descended from heaven when Xia Qinghe was at her most desperate and helpless, effortlessly solving all her family's problems.
Then, with just the right amount of gentleness and undeniable protection, he slowly opened her pure and love-starved heart.
Now, Xia Qinghe's feelings for him were far beyond mere gratitude.
It was a complex emotion, a mixture of adoration, admiration, and deep reliance.
Although sometimes, faced with his sudden intimate gestures, this little rabbit would still be nervous, that was merely an instinctive reaction from long-term insecurity; deep down, she had long regarded him as her sole reliance... All of this.
All of it was intensely watched by a pair of bloodshot eyes from a dark corner across the street!
Lin Fan had not gone far!
Having just been mercilessly slapped in the face and rejected in public by that pure college student, the venom and unwillingness in his heart were at their peak!
Then, he saw that glaring Rolls-Royce that made him want to smash it!
He saw that figure he hated to the bone—Lu Cheng!
What made his eyes split with rage even more was!
The girl who had just rejected him with a look of disgust, making him lose face completely!
Now, she was nestled obediently in Lu Cheng's arms like a docile little bird!
This strong visual impact and psychological disparity!
It was even more unbearable than being stabbed twice directly!
Just as he was about to lose control and rush out to fight Lu Cheng!
A gentle breeze blew by.
The girl's soft, grateful voice drifted intermittently, entering his ears:
"...Thank you so much, Lu Brother Cheng... My mom's surgery was very successful..."
Mom's surgery?
Thank you?
These fragmented words made Lin Fan's mind incredibly clear.
Combined with the dazzling scene before him—
Top-tier luxury car!
Playboy young master!
Pure and innocent college student!
Gratitude in her words... He felt he had once again grasped the truth!
This beast surnamed Lu! He really wasn't a good person!
He must have exploited this girl's family difficulties!
Using her mother's life-saving money as blackmail!
Forcing this innocent college student to submit to him!
Defiling her purity with money and power!
Lin Fan's fingers were trembling with excitement!
He instantly thought of Gu Qingcheng!
Qingcheng must be the same!
She must also have been coerced by Lu Cheng using similar despicable methods!
Yes! It must be like this!
How could Qingcheng, so proud, genuinely fall for such a scumbag?
She must also be helpless, with unspeakable suffering.
Found it!
I've finally found ironclad proof of Lu Cheng, this degenerate, playing with women and oppressing people with his power!
He would use this ironclad proof to awaken Gu Qingcheng from her delusion! To save her!
[Ding! Son of Destiny Lin Fan self-imagines 'power oppression' plot, hatred for host intensifies, Villain Value +888!]
Hearing the system prompt in his mind, Lu Cheng only found it amusing.
Lin Fan, oh Lin Fan.
Your ability to imagine things, it's truly a waste not to write novels.
You want proof?
Then I'll give you the proof you want.
Lin Fan's heart pounded, he almost fumbled to pull out his scratched, counterfeit phone.
Like a thief, he hid behind a trash can, held his breath, aimed at the Rolls-Royce not far away, and Lu Cheng's back as he led Xia Qinghe into the cafe, and frantically pressed the camera button!
Click! Click!
After taking several photos, he hastily put away his phone and looked down to check.
The unique emblem of the luxury car was clearly visible!
Lu Cheng's hateful profile could still be barely discerned!
Finally, the posture of that college student nestled in his arms!
These elements combined were simply ironclad proof of Lu Cheng 'bullying with power and playing with women'!
That's enough!
Lin Fan felt like he had grabbed a snake by its seven-inch mark!
Victory was in sight!
His heart pounded, and a twisted smile, a mixture of extreme anger, pathological excitement, and a sense of 'acting on behalf of heaven,' appeared on his face.
"Lu Cheng... just you wait..."
He dared not stay there any longer, fearing discovery by Lu Cheng's bodyguards.
So, like a rat, he quickly scurried away along the wall.
He ran frantically, using all his strength, back to that familiar, foul-smelling, cheap internet cafe.
He found the furthest, most deserted corner and sat down.
He pulled out his phone again, flipping through those few photos over and over.
The more he looked, the more sinister and smug his smile became.
"Qingcheng... my Qingcheng... wait for me..."
He couldn't help but murmur to himself, his voice carrying a self-pitying pathos and the thrill of impending revenge.
"I'm going to expose Lu Cheng, this scumbag's true colors, right now!"
"Let you see what kind of demon Lu Cheng truly is!"
"Wait for me to save you!"
