Yue Xiaofei, You're a Scumbag Who Cheats People Out of Money and Love!

Three days later.

Colorful flags fluttered over Jiangcheng No. 1 High School, and the campus buzzed with celebration.

Yue Xiaofei walked through the school gates.

Principal Li had been taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission on suspicion of embezzlement and misconduct in his personal life.

Several of his lovers were under investigation too, including Teacher Bai...

Newly appointed Principal Xiao had taken charge at a difficult time and would preside over today's Graduation Ceremony.

"Yue Xiaofei, this way, please!"

The Director of Education hurried over, his face plastered with an eager smile.

In the past, he would not have given this poor student a second glance.

But now, who did not know that Yue Xiaofei came from a family of fallen heroes, and that even top brass from the Military Region backed him?

Of course, outsiders still did not know that Secretary Sha of Handong had become Yue Xiaofei's honorary grandfather!

If they did, they would be even more eager to curry favor!

As Yue Xiaofei entered the campus, greetings rose all around him.

"Xiaofei! Over here!"

"Top scorer Yue, you look sharp today!"

"Can I get your autograph after your speech?"

Classmates who had once avoided him now swarmed around him like flies, their eagerness to please written all over their faces. Yue Xiaofei merely nodded.

He saw these people for exactly what they were.

When Gao Zisheng had bullied him, they had either stood by and watched or kicked him while he was down.

Now that he had risen in the world, they came running to flatter him. It was ridiculous.

"Yue Xiaofei!"

A sweet voice rang out.

Pan Tiantian, the school beauty, blocked his path in a pink dress and carefully applied makeup.

"What is it?"

Yue Xiaofei stopped, his tone flat.

"Our class is organizing a Graduation Trip in a few days. Come with us?"

Pan Tiantian blinked her big eyes and gave him a sweet smile.

"Not interested."

Yue Xiaofei stepped around her and kept walking.

Pan Tiantian's smile froze. She hurried after him. "Then which university are you applying to? I could apply to one in the same city."

"Haven't decided."

Without looking back, Yue Xiaofei quickened his pace and left her behind.

"You!"

Pan Tiantian stood there, clenching her fists, her expression darkening.

She was the school beauty everyone fawned over. She had made the first move, and Yue Xiaofei had rejected her without hesitation!

Right in front of so many classmates!

Anger surged through Pan Tiantian.

What's so great about him? He just gets good grades!

The school auditorium was packed.

The moment Yue Xiaofei walked in, the room fell silent for a few seconds. Then the chatter grew even louder.

"Look, it's Yue Xiaofei!"

"He's the top scorer on the college entrance exam and the descendant of heroes!"

"I heard he even got Gao Zisheng locked up. That's incredible!"

Yue Xiaofei paid little attention to the chatter and went straight to his seat.

Since he was giving a speech later, he sat in the front row.

A sharp intake of breath...

Suddenly, startled cries rose behind him.

"Holy crap, she's gorgeous!"

"That face, that figure—she's even more stunning than a celebrity!"

"Next to her, school beauty Pan Tiantian looks like a country bumpkin. They're worlds apart."

Yue Xiaofei looked toward the commotion.

Tang Xian'er walked slowly into the auditorium in a red gown and ten-centimeter heels.

Her lips were fiery red, her skin was white as snow, and every step carried an irresistible allure.

"Isn't that Tang Xian'er, the Tang Family heiress? She's beautiful and filthy rich—her family's worth over a billion!"

"She doesn't even go to our school. Why is she at the Graduation Ceremony?"

"I heard she's Gao Zisheng's fiancée. What a waste of a beautiful woman."

Tang Xian'er swept her gaze around the auditorium. Her eyes briefly met Yue Xiaofei's before she looked away.

Yue Xiaofei knew she had come as planned, so she deliberately pretended not to know him.

At exactly ten in the morning.

Principal Xiao stepped onto the stage and picked up the microphone.

"Students, teachers, today is a day worth celebrating!"

"Jiangcheng No. 1 High School has produced not only the province's top scorer on the college entrance exam, but also the descendant of heroes—Yue Xiaofei!"

Principal Xiao raised his voice, brimming with emotion.

"His grandfather and two uncles all served our country with distinction. They are the pride of Jiangbei!"

"And Yue Xiaofei himself excels in both character and academics. His perseverance makes him a role model for us all!"

"Now, let's give Yue Xiaofei our warmest applause as he comes up to share his approach to studying!"

Thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

Yue Xiaofei took a deep breath and walked onto the stage, step by step, under everyone's gaze.

His stride was steady, his back straight. His sharp eyes swept over the sea of faces below.

He took hold of the microphone and was about to speak when—

Bang!

The auditorium doors were suddenly thrown open.

"Move! Make way!"

"Reporters, over here!"

A crowd of reporters carrying cameras and microphones poured in, their lenses all trained on Yue Xiaofei atop the stage.

Then an arrogant voice rang out:

"Yue Xiaofei, you have no right to speak here!"

With every eye on him, Gao Zisheng swaggered in wearing a designer suit. He pointed at Yue Xiaofei and snarled, "A morally bankrupt scumbag like you thinks you're fit to stand up there and lecture everyone about studying?"

The entire auditorium erupted in shock.

No one had expected Gao Zisheng to appear out of nowhere, much less dare to provoke Yue Xiaofei like this.

Yue Xiaofei held the microphone, a cold smile curling his lips.

"I'm the top scorer, and I'm not qualified? What, does that make a lousy student like you qualified?"

"You!"

Gao Zisheng's face flushed. At a loss for words, he shot back:

"So what if you're handsome?"

"So what if you get good grades?"

"So what if your family members are heroes?"

"What else makes you better than me?"

The audience burst into laughter.

"Haha! Has Gao Zisheng lost his mind?"

"He's handsome, gets good grades, and comes from a family of heroes. Isn't that enough?"

"What, does he have to throw his family's money around and bully people like Gao Zisheng to be impressive?"

"..."

Gao Zisheng seethed at their words, grinding his teeth in fury.

"Yue Xiaofei, I'm here to expose who you really are! You think acting like the descendant of heroes can cover up the filthy things you've done?"

Yue Xiaofei feigned surprise. "Oh? What filthy things have I done? More importantly, shouldn't you be in the Detention Center? How did you get out?"

"I have a congenital heart condition. I applied for Medical Parole!"

Gao Zisheng pulled a document from his pocket and slammed it onto the floor. Then he pointed at Yue Xiaofei, spittle flying as he spoke.

"Don't stand there playing innocent!"

"I came here today to show everyone what this 'descendant of heroes' is really like!"

"I'll expose you and ruin your reputation!"

Gao Zisheng radiated menace, acting as though no one could stop him.

Yue Xiaofei spread his hands, looking perfectly at ease. "What exactly did I do? Go on, tell us."

"You've been using your status to swindle people out of their money and seduce women!"

Gao Zisheng sneered. "I have solid evidence. Today, you're finished!"

What?!

The auditorium instantly exploded with chatter.

"That can't be true, can it? Yue Xiaofei seems like a decent guy."

"Who knows? There are plenty of hypocrites these days. One face in public, another in private."

"I thought his sudden run of luck was suspicious. Maybe he really did cheat his way to the top."

"If Gao Zisheng actually has evidence, Yue Xiaofei's in serious trouble!"

Voices rose and fell throughout the room. Some expressed doubt, some regret, and quite a few were mocking him.

After all, Yue Xiaofei had been in the spotlight lately.

Some people were bound to resent him and hope to see him fall.

This is bad!

Standing nearby, Principal Xiao broke out in a cold sweat.

With so many reporters present, a scandal would destroy Jiangcheng No. 1 High School's reputation!

He hurriedly called to the Security Guards beside him. "Quick, get Gao Zisheng and those reporters out of here! This is a Graduation Ceremony, not a place for him to cause trouble!"

"Who dares touch me?"

Gao Zisheng spun around and swept a vicious glare over the Security Guards.

"Until this is settled, nobody's walking away happy! You know how much power the Gao Family has in Jiangcheng, don't you?!"

The Security Guards froze, afraid to make a move.

The Gao Family's reputation was fearsome. Working men like them could not afford to cross them.

"Gao Zisheng, you keep saying you have evidence. Then show it!"

Yue Xiaofei suddenly spoke, a hint of provocation in his voice. "Anyone can stand there and spout bullshit. Why should we believe you?"

"Hmph. What's the rush?"

Gao Zisheng grinned smugly. He pulled a silver USB Drive from his pocket and strode toward the projector beside the stage.

"The evidence is right here! Once I play it, let's see you talk your way out of it!"

Yue Xiaofei stayed where he was. Far from stopping him, he deliberately furrowed his brow and feigned "panic." Even his voice began to tremble.

"Wh-what are you doing?"

Seeing Yue Xiaofei like this made Gao Zisheng even more pleased with himself.

"I'm going to show everyone what you've been up to!"

"Don't think the old general and Secretary Sha can save you!"

"Once everyone sees how filthy you are, nobody will protect you!"

Gao Zisheng was so pleased with himself that he could barely resist celebrating already.

Hahaha!

Yue Xiaofei, your day has finally come!

Once I play that video and those indecent scenes of you get out, how will you ever show your face again?

Secretary Sha of Handong?

He'll be so embarrassed he'll cut ties with you immediately!

I'm a genius to have come up with such a perfect plan!

Mom and Dad will praise me when they find out!

And with all these reporters here, by tomorrow, the whole of Jiangcheng...

No, the whole of Jiangbei Province will know about your scandal!

Just wait until your reputation is ruined!

Gao Zisheng lost himself in fantasy, grinning from ear to ear.

The reporters he had brought were excited too. They raised their cameras and aimed them at the big screen.

They had already settled on a headline: "Top Exam Scorer Exposed as a Hypocrite: Child of a Fallen Hero Swindles Money and Seduces Women?"

This story would set the whole internet ablaze!

"Phew..."

Gao Zisheng took a deep breath, opened a video file, and pressed play.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Every eye locked onto the big screen. Everyone held their breath.

But the image that appeared a second later left them stunned.

The man in the video wasn't Yue Xiaofei at all!

It was Gao Zisheng himself!

Even harder to look at was—

Seven or eight hulking men crowded around him, their bodies pressed against his...

The footage was shocking and impossible to watch.

And Gao Zisheng wore an expression that was both pained and strangely unsettling.
