Three days later.

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

Yue Xiaofei walked into the school.

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

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

The newly appointed Principal Xiao had taken over at a critical moment and would preside over today's Graduation Ceremony.

"Yue Xiaofei, this way, please!"

The Director of Education jogged over, his face full of eager smiles.

In the past, he wouldn't even have glanced at this poor student.

But now, who didn't know Yue Xiaofei was descended from fallen heroes and even had top brass from the Military Region backing him?

Of course, outsiders still didn't know that Secretary Sha of Handong had become Yue Xiaofei's adoptive grandfather!

If they did, they would fawn over him even more!

As Yue Xiaofei walked across campus, greetings came at him from every direction.

"Brother Fei, over here!"

"Top scorer Yue, you look great today!"

"Can I get your autograph after your speech?"

Classmates who had once avoided him now swarmed around him like flies, their eagerness to curry favor 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 watched coldly or kicked him while he was down.

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

"Yue Xiaofei!"

A sweet voice called 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 walked around her and kept going.

The smile froze on Pan Tiantian's face. 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, admired by everyone. She had made the first move, yet Yue Xiaofei had rejected her without a second thought!

And in front of so many classmates!

Anger surged through Pan Tiantian.

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

The school auditorium was already packed.

The moment Yue Xiaofei entered, the entire room fell silent for a few seconds before the chatter returned louder than ever.

"Look, it's Yue Xiaofei!"

"He's the top scorer on the college entrance exam, and he comes from a family 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.

He was due to give a speech later, so he sat in the front row.

A sudden chorus of gasps rose behind him.

"Holy shit, what a goddess!"

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

"Next to her, school beauty Pan Tiantian looks like a country bumpkin. It's like comparing a chicken to a phoenix."

Yue Xiaofei turned toward the commotion.

Tang Xian'er walked in slowly, wearing a long red dress and ten-centimeter heels.

Her lips were as red as fire, her skin as white as snow. Every step she took radiated irresistible allure.

"Isn't that Tang Xian'er, the eldest daughter of the Tang Family? She's gorgeous 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 across the auditorium. Her eyes briefly met Yue Xiaofei's before she looked away.

Yue Xiaofei knew she had come as planned, so she was deliberately pretending 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 a descendant of heroes—Yue Xiaofei!"

Principal Xiao raised his voice, his excitement clear.

"His grandfather and both his uncles served our country with distinction. They are the pride of Jiangbei Province!"

"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 experiences with us!"

Thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

Yue Xiaofei took a deep breath and climbed the steps to the stage under everyone's gaze.

He walked steadily, his back straight and his eyes sharp as he surveyed the packed auditorium.

Just as he gripped the microphone and was about to speak—

Bang!

The auditorium doors flew open.

"Move! Make way!"

"Reporters, over here!"

A crowd of reporters carrying cameras and microphones surged in, their lenses all swinging toward Yue Xiaofei on 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 shouted, "A morally bankrupt scumbag like you thinks you deserve to stand up there and talk about studying?"

The auditorium erupted in uproar.

No one had expected Gao Zisheng to show up, much less dare to provoke Yue Xiaofei so openly.

Holding the microphone, Yue Xiaofei gave a cold smile.

"I'm the top scorer on the college entrance exam, but I'm not qualified? Are you, a failing student, qualified instead?"

"You!"

Gao Zisheng's face flushed as he fired back:

"So what if you're handsome?"

"So what if you get good grades?"

"So what if your family members are heroes?"

"Besides that, what 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. What more does he need?"

"Does he have to throw his family's money around and bully people like Gao Zisheng to count as impressive?"

"..."

Hearing this, Gao Zisheng seethed with humiliation and rage, his teeth clenched.

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

Yue Xiaofei feigned surprise. "Oh? What disgusting 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, spitting as he spoke.

"Stop pretending you're innocent!"

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

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

Gao Zisheng was aggressive and overbearing.

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

"You used your status to swindle people out of their money and sex!"

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

What?!

The entire auditorium exploded into chatter.

"No way. Yue Xiaofei seems pretty decent."

"Who knows? There are plenty of hypocrites these days who act one way in public and another in private."

"I knew his sudden streak of luck was suspicious. Maybe he really did con his way to the top."

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

The chatter swelled and ebbed. Some doubted the accusation, some felt sorry for Yue Xiaofei, and quite a few made snide remarks.

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

Some people couldn't help resenting it and were eager to see him fall.

This is bad!

Principal Xiao stood to the side, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

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

He hurriedly called to the security guards nearby, "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 whipped around and glared fiercely at the guards.

"If this isn't settled today, none of you will have an easy time! Don't you know how much influence the Gao Family has in Jiangcheng?!"

The guards froze, afraid to make a move.

The Gao Family had a fearsome reputation. People like them couldn't afford to cross it.

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

Yue Xiaofei suddenly spoke up, a hint of provocation in his voice. "Why should anyone believe you if all you do is run your mouth?"

"Hmph. What's the rush?"

Gao Zisheng grinned smugly, took 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 Gao Zisheng, he deliberately furrowed his brow and put on a show of panic. Even his voice began to tremble.

"Wh-what are you doing?"

Seeing Yue Xiaofei like that only made Gao Zisheng more pleased with himself.

"I'm going to expose what you've done in front of everyone!"

"Don't think having the old general and Secretary Sha behind you means you're safe!"

"Once everyone sees how filthy you really are, no one will be able to protect you!"

At that moment, Gao Zisheng was so pleased with himself he could have popped the champagne early.

Hahaha!

Yue Xiaofei, your day has finally come!

Once that video plays and those indecent images of you spread, let's see how you can show your face again!

Secretary Sha of Handong?

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

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

Mom and Dad will definitely praise me when they find out!

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

No, all of Jiangbei Province will have heard about your scandal!

Just wait for your reputation to be ruined!

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

The reporters he had brought along grew excited too, raising their cameras toward the big screen.

They already had a headline in mind: "Top College Entrance Exam Scorer Exposed as a Hypocrite: Descendant of Heroes Swindles People Out of Money and Sex?"

This story would set the whole internet ablaze!

"Whew..."

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

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Every eye locked on the big screen. No one even dared to breathe.

But the image that appeared a moment later left everyone stunned.

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

It was Gao Zisheng himself!

Even worse—

Seven or eight burly men surrounded him...

The footage was graphic, almost unbearable to watch.

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