Inside Room 207 of the Moral Education Building

"Mu Changsheng...? What the hell, daring to block my path?"

Liu Tianhao's face was grim.

"Didn't you tell him my name?"

Liu Tianhao stared at Zhou Kun, his voice cold.

Zhou Kun quickly nodded, "I did, and he said he doesn't know you at all."

Xia Yan, lounging with his legs crossed, chuckled, "Looks like your name, Liu Tianhao, isn't as impressive as you thought."

Zhou Kun quickly added, "Brother Hao, I asked about this Mu Changsheng. He's only known Lin Kenning for two days and isn't her boyfriend at all. I think he's just trying to save face."

Liu Tianhao's expression flickered between anger and uncertainty. He stood up, "I heard that guy Song Haoning is in the same dorm as him?"

Xia Yan furrowed his brow, "Song Haoning? Who's that?"

Liu Tianhao lit a cigarette, "Song Jun's son. He got into this school through my dad's connections."

"Oh..."

Xia Yan nodded.

"Zhou Kun, go invite Song Haoning out. Tonight at 8 PM, the location is Tianhongmen, outside the campus."

"I want to see what kind of skills this Mu Changsheng has. How dare he try to steal the woman I'm interested in."

Liu Tianhao took a drag from his cigarette, his voice filled with rage.

"Yes, Brother Hao."

After Zhou Kun left, Xia Yan stood up. Liu Tianhao frowned, "Where are you going?"

Xia Yan chuckled, "The head of the publicity department asked to meet me."

Liu Tianhao's brow furrowed, "Gold digger."

Xia Yan shrugged helplessly, "Can't be helped. Besides money, I'm truly useless."

Liu Tianhao's mouth twitched.

"Get lost."

Mu Changsheng was leisurely delivering takeout at the moment, completely unaware that he had offended... Liu Tianhao. Even if he knew, he wouldn't have cared.

What goes around, comes around.

Besides, Mu Changsheng wasn't afraid of anyone right now.

Meanwhile, downstairs at the Ziqiang Building

Song Haoning received a call from Zhou Kun, and his expression turned a little sour. But upon hearing that Liu Tianhao was inviting him, his face lit up with joy, "Is it Brother Hao?"

"Where's the location?"

"8 PM tonight, Tianhongmen."

"Alright, I'll definitely be there."

After hanging up, Song Haoning looked very pleased.

Jiang Ruizhao, standing nearby, asked curiously, "Brother Song, whose call is it? You seem so happy?"

Song Haoning glanced at Jiang Ruizhao and didn't hide anything, smiling, "Liu Tianhao, Secretary Liu's son."

"What?!"

Jiang Ruizhao was slightly startled and quickly asked, "The son of the Vice Secretary of the college?"

Song Haoning nodded, "That's right. Their family has considerable influence. Liu Tianhao's father is the Vice Secretary of the college, and his mother is apparently the dean of the music academy. He seems to have connections in the education bureau as well."

"This is a powerful connection. If you stick close to him, no one in school will dare to mess with you."

Jiang Ruizhao was dazzled by the information, but still asked curiously, "So why are they looking for you?"

"I don't know either. I'll find out when I go tonight."

"Are you going?"

Song Haoning looked at Jiang Ruizhao and asked.

Jiang Ruizhao was taken aback, feeling a little awkward, "Can I go?"

Song Haoning sneered, "Old Jiang, what's our relationship? If you follow your Brother Song, I'll be doing well, and I won't forget to give you a taste of the success."

Jiang Ruizhao's face lit up with joy, "Thank you for the opportunity, Brother Song."

Tianhongmen, Private Room No. 7

"Come, Brother Hao, Brother Xia, I'll toast you."

Song Haoning stood up, raised his glass, and said obsequiously.

Liu Tianhao gave him some face and drank a glass, while Xia Yan listlessly took a sip.

Song Haoning, on the other hand, downed his drink in one go, full of bravado.

Jiang Ruizhao, however, was somewhat out of his depth and could only pour drinks on the side.

Liu Tianhao pointed at his head with two fingers and stared at Song Haoning, "Haoning, do you know Mu Changsheng?"

Song Haoning was startled, "Mu Changsheng?"

"Yes, I know him."

"We're in the same dorm."

Song Haoning said truthfully.

"The same dorm?"

Liu Tianhao's expression immediately changed, and he glanced at Xia Yan.

Song Haoning seemed to sense something and quickly said, "Brother Hao, I have a terrible relationship with him. Not long ago, this kid scammed me out of tens of thousands of yuan here. I wish I could humiliate him to death."

"Oh?"

Liu Tianhao's interest was piqued upon hearing Song Haoning's hateful tone.

Song Haoning briefly recounted the incident, then embellished it with details about Mu Changsheng.

"So that's how it is."

Liu Tianhao nodded.

"Brother Hao, did he offend you too?"

Song Haoning asked, his face flushed.

Liu Tianhao ignored Song Haoning and continued, "Haoning, what does Mu Changsheng's family do?"

Upon hearing this, Song Haoning immediately sneered, "What do they do? He's just a country bumpkin, so poor he can't even afford to eat."

"He delivers food all day."

Liu Tianhao nodded. This was similar to what Zhou Kun had said, and it seemed Song Haoning wasn't lying.

Liu Tianhao glanced at Xia Yan, who propped his head up and smiled, "Let's mess with him?"

Xia Yan said this very casually, as if he didn't take Mu Changsheng seriously at all.

Liu Tianhao smiled easily.

After a few more drinks, the four of them left.

As for paying the bill, it was naturally Song Haoning's responsibility.

A little past eleven o'clock, Jiang Ruizhao helped the dazed Song Haoning into the car. Jiang Ruizhao looked at the groggy Song Haoning and shook his head helplessly.

Just as Jiang Ruizhao was about to call Xu Wen, Song Haoning's phone suddenly rang.

Jiang Ruizhao thought it was Xu Wen calling. Anyway, he was going to call Xu Wen...

But the moment Jiang Ruizhao picked up the phone, his expression froze...

"Xiao Lan...?"

Jiang Ruizhao looked at the name "Guo Xiaolan" on the screen, his face filled with a strange expression. Why would Xiao Lan call Song Haoning so late at night?

Jiang Ruizhao's heart trembled slightly, and he shakily answered the call.

"Brother Song~"

"I miss you~"

The familiar voice and charming tone immediately made Jiang Ruizhao's face darken.

This was Guo Xiaolan's voice. Jiang Ruizhao couldn't be mistaken, he definitely wasn't mistaken...

Clinging to a sliver of hope, Jiang Ruizhao even took out his phone to compare. The result was... exactly the same.

Jiang Ruizhao looked at the phone in disbelief, then at Song Haoning, who was sleeping soundly in the car. At this moment, Jiang Ruizhao's face... had become extremely tense.

Why would his girlfriend address his good friend so intimately?!

He could understand "Brother Song."

But "I miss you..."

This made Jiang Ruizhao's expression turn extremely grim.

At this moment, Jiang Ruizhao was trembling uncontrollably.
