Preparing to Punish

Mu Changsheng parked the car at the villa and then took a taxi to a 4S shop. He rode an electric scooter back to Tannan Normal University.

The McLaren was too conspicuous and would easily attract the children's attention, making it inconvenient to punish Song Haoning.

After returning to Tannan Normal University, Mu Changsheng made a phone call to inform Jiang Ruizhao of his plan.

"Brother Mu, is this going to work?"

Jiang Ruizhao sounded hesitant on the other end of the line.

Mu Changsheng pulled out the electric scooter's key and chuckled, "Little brother, she's treated you like this, and you're still planning to wear a hat and go all the way with her?"

"If you're still a man, do as I say."

After a moment of hesitation, Jiang Ruizhao said, "As long as it helps me vent this anger, you're my real brother!"

Mu Changsheng gave a light laugh and hung up the phone. "I don't have a brother as stupid as you."

Meanwhile, Jiang Ruizhao hesitated for a moment while holding his phone. Looking at the video on his screen, a surge of anger rose within him. Jiang Ruizhao no longer hesitated and made a voice call.

"Xiao Lan, let's meet up."

"I'm in class."

"Didn't I remember this class was easy? I found a really delicious place today, come out and keep me company."

Guo Xiaolan was currently putting on makeup in her dorm. After all, she was going to meet Song Haoning tonight.

Guo Xiaolan paused. Meeting Song Haoning might not even include dinner, so she should let this ATM... treat her to a meal first.

"Okay, come pick me up in half an hour."

Jiang Ruizhao was stunned. Pick you up? I'll pick up your grandma.

"No, Xiao Lan, this restaurant is very difficult to reserve. I need to get there early."

"I'll send you the address in a bit. Can you come over?"

Guo Xiaolan was taken aback. What good place requires a reservation? Guo Xiaolan didn't suspect anything. After all, Jiang Ruizhao wasn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed, or perhaps his living expenses had arrived, and he wanted to show off in front of her.

"Okay."

Evening, Tannan Snack Street

Inside a dumpling restaurant

Guo Xiaolan, carrying her bag, sat on a wooden stool with a dark expression, glaring at Jiang Ruizhao in front of her. "This is the restaurant you reserved?"

Jiang Ruizhao glanced at the white bag. He had never seen this bag before. Looking at the material... it definitely wasn't cheap. Jiang Ruizhao knew what Guo Xiaolan's family background was like...

It must be Song Haoning!

Thinking of this, Jiang Ruizhao felt angry.

Seeing Guo Xiaolan fuming, Jiang Ruizhao said with a forced smile, "What's wrong, Xiao Lan? Don't you like peasant food?"

Guo Xiaolan's face darkened further when she saw Jiang Ruizhao dare to retort. "Jiang Ruizhao, are you... not going to talk anymore?"

Jiang Ruizhao raised an eyebrow, put down his chopsticks, and looked at Guo Xiaolan. "How could that be?"

Guo Xiaolan seemed to recall something. "If you didn't come to pick me up today, I won't say anything. And eating in a place like this... what do you mean by that, Jiang Ruizhao?"

Jiang Ruizhao looked at Guo Xiaolan's elaborate makeup and said slowly, "You're dressed up so nicely, where are you planning to go?"

Guo Xiaolan was startled and panicked inwardly. She quickly frowned. "Don't change the subject. What's wrong with me wanting to put on makeup?"

"Weren't you in class? How could half an hour be enough for you to do your makeup?"

Jiang Ruizhao asked with feigned curiosity.

Guo Xiaolan's eyes darted away. She said coldly, "Jiang Ruizhao, what do you mean? You don't believe me anymore?"

"I really can't be bothered with you."

"Eat here by yourself!"

With that, Guo Xiaolan picked up her bag and prepared to leave.

"Don't go. Look at this, Xiao Lan."

Just as Guo Xiaolan stood up, Jiang Ruizhao took out his phone and played the video.

Guo Xiaolan's eyes widened, and her face instantly froze.

"Xiao Lan, I really didn't expect you to be this kind of person."

Jiang Ruizhao suppressed his anger and said to Guo Xiaolan with a smile.

Guo Xiaolan tried to snatch the phone, but Jiang Ruizhao quickly pulled it back.

Guo Xiaolan's face turned flustered. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "Um... you listen to my explanation..."

Jiang Ruizhao sneered, "Explanation...?"

"Xiao Lan, what do you think will happen if it's revealed on the confession wall that the third-year senior, Guo Xiaolan, is having an affair with her boyfriend's friend?"

Jiang Ruizhao looked at Guo Xiaolan teasingly.

At this moment, Guo Xiaolan was completely panicked, her expression trembling: "Ruizhao... how do you have this video...?"

Jiang Ruizhao sneered: "If it weren't for... Song Haoning getting drunk the day before yesterday, I would have been kept in the dark by you two my entire life."

"Xiaolan, you truly are my good girlfriend, giving me such a huge surprise."

"No... no, Ruizhao, listen to me, I just..."

Guo Xiaolan's words were flustered, and she looked at Jiang Ruizhao in terror.

Seeing Guo Xiaolan's terrified expression, Jiang Ruizhao felt a surge of satisfaction, and his desire for revenge grew stronger.

"Just what?"

"You're not going to say it was a drunken mistake, are you."

"Then the question is, why were you drinking with him alone?"

"Oh, right, you dressed up so beautifully today, weren't you going to see him?"

Jiang Ruizhao asked coldly.

Guo Xiaolan trembled all over. Looking at Jiang Ruizhao's cold gaze, Guo Xiaolan realized fear for the first time...

If Jiang Ruizhao posted this video on the confession wall, would she still be able to live as a person?!

If it got out to the international internet... how would she ever get married in the future?!

That was her whole life!

Guo Xiaolan quickly grabbed Jiang Ruizhao's arm, her expression almost pleading: "Ruizhao... please... I was just confused for a moment. As long as you delete the video, I'll do anything you want."

"I promise I'll cut off all contact with him from now on and only be devoted to you, okay..?"

Jiang Ruizhao felt a wave of disgust: "Xiaolan, I thought you were so pure... I didn't expect you to be just as cheap."

"And I even gave you my genuine feelings."

"Guo Xiaolan, if you don't want the video to end up on the confession wall, I advise you... to listen to me carefully from now on."

"Let's go!"

Jiang Ruizhao stood up and said coldly.

Guo Xiaolan looked at Jiang Ruizhao with a slight tremble: "Go where?"

Jiang Ruizhao smiled and looked at the hotel across the street: "Of course, we're going to the hotel to discuss what to do about this video."

Guo Xiaolan's expression trembled...

"What, you're still thinking of going to see Song Haoning?!"
