and most of the teaching buildings were lit up with students and teachers inside. The dark night didn't hinder the view of these buildings at all. On the contrary, those angular, cold steel-and-concr...Behind the corner, a figure immediately darted out. It was -- Jiang Po Lang.

Gu Jianxi mocked. "I didn't know you were someone who eavesdrops You say, if this behavior of yours gets out, how many hearts will those girls who admire you be broken"

Jiang Po Lang let out a cold snort. "Compared to me, you're far more despicable. Do you even have the qualifications to speak to me"

Gu Jianxi's face immediately turned black upon hearing this. He suddenly took a large step forward and forcefully pushed Jiang Po浪 against the wall, shouting angrily, "I warn you, don't come and mess with my affairs."

He thinks he doesn't know about him and Lin Meng Gu Jianxi angrily thought to himself, don't you like her too What are you pretending for!

Jiang PoLang slowly stood up, smiling unexpectedly, which surprised Gu JianXi. The smile was faint, causing Gu JianXi's eyes to flicker. But the next second, Jiang PoLang exerted his strength and pushed him forward with a forceful hand, delivering a powerful counterattack. Gu JianXi stumbled back several steps before barely managing to stabilize himself and avoid falling.

Jiang Po waved his face and approached menacingly, saying in a harsh voice: "I warn you, don't use any underhanded tactics against Lin Meng. Your actions like this will only make people think ill of you, and she won't even look at you twice because of it."

"Humph!" Gu Jianxi sneered. "I think you're jealous, aren't you What, are you uncomfortable seeing her and me getting along Let me tell you, don't talk about right and wrong, good and bad. All I care about is the result. If you want to maintain your high and mighty attitude, be my guest. But don't come here pointing fingers at me!"

"If you want to touch other people, go ahead, I won't care. But Lin Meng, you can't lay your hands on them!"

"Ha, who do you think you are, saying I can't move"

"I am not anyone to her, but you said that if I stood before her with you, she would believe you more!" Jiang Po Lang's face was cold.

Gu Jianxi's face darkened, and he glared at Jiang Po浪 with a sullen expression. "Are you trying to stop me"

Jiang Po浪 pursed his lips, the warmth in his usually gentle eyes now frozen over. "I won't stop you, but... just stay away from Lin Meng!"

"Impossible!" Gu Jianxi roared.

Jiang Po waved laughed. "There's nothing impossible about that. If I told her everything you did, how do you think she'd look at you! Then you won't have to worry about it anymore, she'll distance herself from you on her own!"

Gu Jianxi narrowed his eyes, staring fixedly at Jiang Po Lang. Good boy, you really dare to threaten me!

"Do you think she'd just believe everything you say! Maybe I'm not as important to her as you are, but it's not like she'll ignore me just because you say so. Besides, all you're doing is talking empty words. Does she really believe that Everything needs evidence, right So why don't you show me the proof"

This time, Jiang Po Lang narrowed his eyes, beginning to feel uneasy.

Gu Jianxi began to smile triumphantly, "I can turn the tables and accuse you of defamation. You wouldn't want to see all your hard work in Lin Mengxin's heart come crashing down, would you"

"Little wretch!" Jiang Po Lang muttered under his breath, glaring at Gu Jianxi. His face was cold as he said, "In short, I won't give you another chance."

Isn't he just trying to make a good impression in front of Lin Meng Then he will send Lin Meng home afterwards. Let's see how this Gu Jianxi can still be bad! After the two people calmed down, Jiang Po浪's mood had stabilized. He was the son of the Jiang family, his father was the most fierce and brave captain of the police force. A tiger father has no weak son, he can't learn from those weak scholars who sigh and weep for nothing, worrying about things that haven't happened. The hot blood in his bones tells him that if you have set your sights on a target, then charge straight ahead.

He can't chase Lin Meng now, so he'll wait. For this girl, he will wait, even if it takes forever. He's young, he can definitely afford to wait. As for Gu Jianxi, don't even think about getting a piece of the pie at this time. Based on Gu Jianxi's past behavior, all he wants to do is play around, and he won't allow Gu Jianxi to treat Lin Meng like a toy.

Gu Jianxi wasn't a fool; he immediately understood the depth of Jiang Po's words. Was this man trying to be his stumbling block!

"Jiang PoLang, I warn you, don't get in my way. If you anger me, I'll make sure your entire family suffers the consequences!"

Jiang Po Lang scornfully curled his lips. "Gu Jian Xi, is that all you're capable of Can't bring me down, so you're going to use your family's power"

Gu Jianxi raised an eyebrow and retorted, "What's wrong with that! I never care about what means to use. I only understand that if I want something, I must get it. Besides, this kind of power isn't something you can just have if you want it. It's also a skill. Jiang Po Lang, even if you want to use your family's power, your father would have to think about it for ages, right! Haha..."

His tone was dripping with sarcasm!

Jiang Po Lang frowned. "Your actions are truly disgraceful."

Gu Jianxi replied as usual, "It's better to be a villain than a gentleman. There are probably no true gentlemen left in this world, only a bunch of fake ones, so I might as well just be a villain!"

Arguing with someone like Gu Jianxi requires extraordinary skill. Jiang Po Lang admits he is no match for such a person.

"I'm not going to bull** with you. I'm just warning you, from now on, keep your distance. My house may not be as grand as yours, but my fists can still pack a punch!"

As he spoke, he clenched his fist and swung it with all his might. Immediately, there was the sound of air breaking.

Gu Jianxi arrogantly raised his chin. "Alright, I'm happy to oblige!"

Their war, from this moment on, begins!

On the other side, the man who had to endure for a time, frowning, listened to his subordinates' report. When his subordinate had roughly finished telling him what happened, he rubbed his temples wearily, but a glimmer of interest appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"So you're saying that kid from the Gu family is most likely going to fight Rong Ling!"

He nodded.

Xiao Yile was pleased. "That's good, I'm not convenient to take action right now, having Gu Jianxi drag Rong Ling is alright. Gu Jianxi is not a simple character either, so it's likely that Rong Ling won't have it too easy." If he could thus let go of Lin Meng, then that would be even better!

“Keep staring. As long as Lin Meng doesn’t pose a life threat, don’t act rashly.” He just sat there watching from the sidelines, eager to see Gu Jianxi and Rong Ling fight to the death. Even if Gu Jianxi couldn’t defeat Rong Ling, at least he could deplete his energy. Moreover, the Gu family and the Rong family were different factions with opposing stances. Perhaps the old master of the Gu family would be delighted to see his grandson take action against Rong Ling!

Hehehe...

Xiao Yi smiled silently. He waved his hand, letting his men leave.

He smiled for a moment, then frowned again. He couldn't understand what Rong Ling was thinking. Why did he leave Lin Meng alone in City J at this time, while he himself returned to City B and hasn't come back yet He should know that some people are incorrigible criminals and that Lin Meng is still being coveted by others. Why wasn't he worried at all!

Since he took in Lin Meng, he always cared for her in some way. To say that he only kept her as a pet to relieve boredom, Xiao Yi didn't believe it. Rong Ling, such a busy man, hated wasting time on useless things the most. He definitely didn't treat Lin Meng like a pet. If he did it because of the rumors circulating in school, wanting to avoid the limelight, then that wasn't Rong Ling. Such a proud person wouldn't care about those small-scale rumors. Besides, with his abilities, he could easily erase them.

Then, why did he leave!

He is the company's CEO, and he also has some businesses that are not to be seen. However, he doesn't need to stay in b city for so long. With his ability and excellent vision in selecting people, he can still remotely manage businesses from other places just as well in j city.

Then, did he have a disagreement with Lin Meng, so he deliberately avoided her!

Is that so!

Xiao Yi pondered for a long time, still unable to quite understand. However, he would rather it be a problem between Rong Ling and Lin Meng. That way, he could easily accept Lin Meng. Making an enemy of Rong Ling was simply too painful. The old-timers in the organization kept holding him back, preventing him from making reforms freely!

Xiao Yi cursed under his breath, feeling that the most urgent thing was to find a way to deal with those old fellows. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to fully unleash his fighting prowess.

... First published by Xiao Xiang Academy.

Lin Meng lied that she wasn't feeling well and sent Xiao Yi away. It wasn't entirely a lie. When she thought about what those hooligans had said, her heart felt uneasy, and as a result, her head started to ache. As she replayed their words in her mind, the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.

She probably sensed that those thugs might have really found out something. Their innuendo was actually very precise.

This night, she hardly ate any dinner. She just shoved a few bites down and collapsed onto the bed. Later, she forced herself to do some homework, but her efficiency was extremely poor. An hour passed, and she hadn't even finished one page of math problems. Every time she tried to write or draw, those frightening and alarming threats kept flashing through her mind!

"Bang!"

She tossed the ruler in her hand impatiently and abruptly stood up from her chair.

She really didn't know what to do!

She let out a long sigh and impatiently ran her hand through her hair. Pushing back her chair, she walked out of the room. The hall outside was vast, and she paced back and forth several times, but couldn't think of any way to handle it. She was alone, what could she possibly do against those hooligans How could she get to the secrets they were hiding

Unable to bear it any longer, she stamped her foot and went into the house to get her phone.

Once, he told her not to call him unless she had something important to say. But this call was unavoidable, even though it might get her scolded.

This call didn't have any delay and connected immediately, but there was no sound on the other end. (...tw no pop-up ads)

"Róng Líng..." she whispered softly.

"Hmm," he replied, his tone giving nothing away. But the familiar sound of his voice brought a sudden wave of comfort to her, as if she had found her anchor.

"Ronger, I have something to say to you, please don't hang up!" she hurriedly said first.

Over there, Rong Ling remained calm and collected, neither happy nor angry. "Well, go on then," she said.

Lin Meng let out a sigh of relief immediately, and said with much distress about what had happened these past two days. "Rong Ling, what should we do I... I'm a bit scared!"

"Why are you only telling me this now, huh!" His tone rose slightly, sounding displeased.

Lin Meng was momentarily speechless and couldn't answer.

"Rong Ling cursed softly from her head. 'You say you're not angry! If you weren't angry, would you have kept this a secret for so long! You're angry with me, aren't you' "

Lin Meng's face flushed red. She felt that it wasn't actually like that, but she also felt that it was kind of like what Rong Ling had said. So, she still couldn't answer.

Ron Ling snorted at that. "Fine, you little spiteful thing. I'm a generous person, so I won't hold this against you. Go back and reflect on yourself properly. Don't even think about calling me until you've figured things out."

He's threatening people with this again!

Lin Meng was originally angry, but when he said that, she felt like laughing. She imagined Rong Ling saying "a gentleman is magnanimous," what would that look like Would it also be quite arrogant!

She didn't dare to laugh truly, only meekly agreeing. Then, fearing he would hang up again, she hurriedly followed up, "You haven't said what to do yet!"

Don't worry about this anymore, I promise, those hoodlums won't appear in front of you again.

"Huh" She couldn't hide her surprise. Why, the things that had troubled her so much, when she arrived here in Rong Ling's presence, seemed as simple as a game.

“What the heck!” Rong Ling scolded her angrily in his mind. “This matter, in my eyes, is nothing at all, only you, this silly girl, takes it seriously. Are you afraid I think your courage has grown big, and you’ve never been afraid that I would get angry, and even dared to argue with me! You've flipped the world upside down!”

Lin Meng blushed again. This…what's going on! Why…why are you punishing her again! She pouted her lips in displeasure.

"Well... then I apologize to you, okay!"

“An apology!” Rong Ling shouted. “You think an apology will make everything alright I’m telling you, this isn’t over. When I get back, just wait and see what I do to you!”

Lin Meng wasn't scared, instead she grinned because Rong Ling's words implied he would be back. And he'd definitely come looking for her!

"Then you calm down first." she said softly, patiently coaxing him.

He let out a cold hum.

She felt she was getting used to his coldness, not feeling frozen by it. After a moment's thought, she couldn't help but ask anxiously: "He said he had photos... and called himself the boss, Rong Ling. What if there really are photos..."

"Impossible!" Rong Ling flatly refuted. "Your man isn't that useless, he wouldn't even notice being filmed. Those people were just talking nonsense, you actually believed them"

"I..." Lin Meng pondered for a moment. "I'm not very convinced either, but what if...what if..."

"There's no if, buts, or maybes!" Rong Ling's voice was firm. "Lin Meng, you need to have more faith in your man. Your man is amazing, and that's something you absolutely must remember!"

What kind of man is yours! Lin Meng's face was flushed with shame, hearing this word made her feel as if she possessed him, considering how he had said it over and over again.

“I understand,” she replied softly, blushing.

"Next time you have something, tell me right away. I don't like it when you keep things from me." He became dictatorial again.

But Lin Meng was enjoying himself immensely at this moment, hastily agreeing.

"Have you been a good girl these days" he asked casually.

She paused, counting over her behavior these past few days. It didn't seem like she had done anything wrong. She nodded slightly. Then, remembering he couldn't see her, she quickly added, "It's okay...I guess"

Because Rong Ling just happened to ask, she became a little uncertain and added a question mark at the end.

Rong Ling fell silent for a moment.

Lin Meng waited for a long time, but he didn't wait for him to speak again. She bit her lip and, taking a deep breath, asked, "You... you seem to have a pretty good relationship with He Ya, huh!"

After finishing her question, she wished she could bite off her tongue. What kind of question was that If their relationship wasn't good, how could He Ya call Rong Ling "Big Brother Rong" How foolish! She finally managed to ask a question, but why didn't she ask something with a bit more depth

There, Rong Ling's voice was soft. "Well, that's good."

She lowered her eyes, gathering her courage, and asked again, "Then... then what about her..."

"My business, just stay out of it!" he coldly interrupted, leaving no room for argument. He seemed very displeased with her prying.

She was taken aback and wanted to apologize apologetically. But he said coldly, "If it's nothing, I'll hang up!"

"She was at a loss for words, and finally managed to force out a smile, saying "Hmm".

That concludes this call.

She let out a long sigh, gently touched the phone in her palm, closed her eyes, and lazily flopped onto the bed.

My heart, it aches a little.

Just because he said, it's his own business, she doesn't want to bother!

This may be her own doing.

She thought... probably overstepped.

Xiao Xiang Academy first edition.

Lin Meng didn't expect Jiang Po Lang to come looking for her again. That day, he seemed to leave in quite a rage, and after that, he never appeared before her again. She thought their relationship was probably over. Seeing him standing at the entrance of her classroom, her heart skipped a beat with an unexplainable joy.

"Alang!" she exclaimed with a touch of excitement.

The raging river, rarely seen so calm. "Let's go," he whispered, "I'll walk you home."

Lin Meng was a little surprised, but mostly happy. She didn't say anything and followed Jiang Po Lang. Behind them, Gu Jianxi, who had been following Lin Meng, narrowed his eyes deeply. He originally planned to start sending Lin Meng today, but he didn't expect Jiang Po Lang to really start drinking with him. After thinking for a moment, he didn't follow up.

He no longer cared how Jiang PoLang arranged him. He was certain that with his actions from the past few days, even if Lin Meng would have some doubts because of Jiang PoLang's words, she definitely wouldn't refuse him outright. Besides, the plan had changed, he didn't want to drag it out any longer. He called over those four subordinates who were acting in the play, including that short one whom he had publicly kicked out. They were all driven to the west of the city yesterday night and ordered, never to set foot in the east half of the city again. All four of them, without exception, were beaten up severely. These four people hadn't made any enemies these days, they only did some things with him. They could be cleared out so consistently and forbidden from entering the east half of the city forever, this kind of grand style, he could only think of Rong Ling!

Because Chengdong, where the Fourth Middle School is located, can also be said to be Lin Meng's approximate activity range.

Then, Rong Ling already knows what he's done! If that's true, he can't drag it out any longer. He doesn't know why Rong Ling didn't come to "talk to him". He had thought about Rong Ling being embarrassed by his status, but he always felt that something was off. This Rong Ling is really too difficult to deal with. Even though he is in City B right now, he is still very capable and influential, and his deep and mysterious nature makes people feel uneasy.

It seems he needs to think up a foolproof solution. Back in his seat, he surprisingly didn't go out when everyone else had already gone home for the night. This left a few classmates who were still there, eating their own packed meals, looking surprised. Gu Jianxi pondered for about half an hour before finally making up his mind.

The corner of his mouth twitched upwards, and he let out a sly smile. Then, he got up and walked out of the classroom towards the outside. Tonight, he had to get some "good stuff".

On the other hand, Jiang Po lang and Lin Meng walked out of the school gate together. When they were far away, leaving those smiling classmates behind, Jiang Po lang spoke up and warned Lin Meng in a low voice.

"Mengmeng, stay away from Gu Jianxi in the future. That fellow isn't a good person!"

Lin Meng stopped, frowning slightly.

Jiang Po浪 also grumbled and stopped, looking at Lin Meng like this, his heart felt a bit sad for a moment. Just when he was hesitating, he let another boy get closer to her for nothing, and even developed a certain degree of affection. Her furrowed brows now, were they troubled Or was it as Gu Jianxi said, his baseless and sudden warning wouldn't make her take it seriously at all

Lin Meng suddenly smiled, her eyebrows and eyes curved upward.

"I thought you'd never talk to me again!" she said, uttering nonsensical words that came as a complete surprise to Jiang Po Lang.

Lin Meng continued to laugh and said, "Hee hee, it seems that A-Lang still cares about me and treats me as a friend."

She looked serene, truly happy.

"Are you afraid that Ku Jianxi will bully me After all, his reputation isn't very good. But, he is actually a pretty nice person. He has helped me a few times before."

Jiang Po's face immediately darkened. He really couldn't say that what was called help was actually Gu Jianxi's self-directed and self-acted performance. With such baseless accusations, Jiang Po, who had been influenced by a police family for a long time, really wouldn't speak out.

"You, it's best to stay away from him. That person is really not good!"

"Hmm..." Lin Meng thought for a moment, then smiled. "Then I'll listen to A Lang and try my best to stay away from him, okay"

This was supposed to be a discussion, but it really felt like an agreement. Jiang Po-lang's face immediately flushed red. He felt happy, touched, and a little bit shy as a young boy. "You... you don't even ask me why I said that"

"Well, A-Lang must be doing this for my own good. He wouldn't say things like that out of the blue. I believe you!"

Sometimes, things are actually very simple, not as complicated as others imagine. Simple people are also willing to do simple things. Lin Mengxin believes in breaking through the waves of the river, and that's enough.

Jiang Po Lang was immediately stunned by Lin Meng's words, "I believe you." He was disoriented until he sent her to the entrance of her apartment building, his face still flushed.

"From now on, I'll still come pick you up every day!"

Jiang PoLang took a deep look at Lin Meng, then ran! He would treasure that "I believe in you" for his entire life.

Lin Mengze grinned, a wide smile that revealed a set of perfectly straight white teeth gleaming under the setting sun.

As night began to fall, on the other end, Gu Jianxi finally made his move. The medicine, he had already obtained it and mixed it into the juice. Now placed before him was a bottle of seemingly perfect juice, untouched as if it had never been opened. In truth, it took Gu Jianxi some effort to achieve this. He gently shook the juice bottle, allowing the medicine inside to dissolve more thoroughly in the juice. He waited for Lin Meng to take the bait tomorrow obediently.

This drug is the most potent aphrodisiac. Once taken, it's impossible to quench the fire from the outside; one must have intercourse with a man to dispel the effects within, otherwise, they will constantly suffer from the agonizing effects of the drug. Even a woman with the strongest willpower and chastity cannot resist this drug. As long as Gu Jianxi ensures Lin Meng drinks it, then next, with her senses blurred by the agonizing effects of the drug, Lin Meng will definitely act like a seductive snake demon, proactively clinging to him.

Once he got Lin Meng, with Rong Ling's personality, he might not care about her anymore, and even abandon her. He wouldn't need to return Lin Meng either; he could just have her follow him directly. Rong Ling would certainly be furious at that time, but he wasn't afraid. After all, their Gu family was still there! Rong Ling couldn't really do anything to him!

Ku Jianxi had calculated everything beforehand. After school the next evening, he directly approached Lin Meng.

"I'll send you back today, Jiang Po-lang has something to do and can't come." He had already found someone to hold him back!

"How do you know!" Lin Meng exclaimed in surprise.

“I have a friend who also plays basketball. He told me that the whole basketball team was called by the coach, and I think Jiang Po Lang is no exception. So, I’ll send you off!”

Lin Meng hesitated, biting her lip.

Gu Jianxi immediately curled the corner of his mouth, letting out a cold snort. “You rejected me so quickly It seems my bad student persona really isn't popular!”

Lin Meng immediately felt ashamed.

"I'm sorry, because I made a promise to Alang yesterday that I would go with him."

"What's the difference if I give it to you I was the one who said I would take you to school, wasn't I" Gu Jianxi looked deeply into Lin Meng's eyes.

Lin Meng was stung by the gaze, her face flushed red. She mumbled a soft "Sorry!"

"I don't want an apology, that's useless to me!" Gu Jianxi's face turned cold, clearly expressing his anger.

"Let's go!" His deep command carried a heavy weight, like a powerful leader, leaving one feeling compelled to obey. His slightly tall figure also radiated an undeniable authority that was difficult to resist.

Lin Meng helplessly followed him. To Gu Jianxi, she actually felt apologetic. After all, he had helped her when she was helpless. But her current attitude was distant and a little hurtful, which she knew.

"Gu Jianxi, don't be angry!" Lin Meng hurried forward, almost running to catch up with him. "Alang said he would pick me up, so I thought I wouldn't bother you. Before that, I always went to and from school with Alan, it became a habit. Don't be angry, I don't have any feelings for you."

Listening to this soft voice, Gu Jianxi's heart suddenly softened. He clenched his hand holding the drink, thinking, should he do this to her But if he softens his heart, how many more words could this gentle voice say to him in the future Perhaps by then, she would have been claimed by another man. Thinking of this, he still hardened his heart.

"Mumble, here you go!" He handed the juice he was holding. "It's hot weather, I bought it for you to drink. It can also supplement vitamins!"

"Ah, thank you!" Lin Meng blushed and carefully took it. She felt a little embarrassed that she hadn't thought to buy Gu Jianxi some juice herself and had instead made him, her benefactor, spend money. She decided that tomorrow, she would definitely return the favor by buying Gu Jianxi a bottle of juice.

“Drink up!” he urged nonchalantly, though inwardly he was a bit nervous.

She was completely unprepared for him, nodding her head and reaching out to twist the lid off the juice bottle!Caiyi, and are well-maintained. In her early years, when she met Rong Feiwu, she was just a hairdresser. Now, she has opened a high-end salon herself.She looked to be in her early forties, but because...
