Huhai, city center, SE Bar.
This place is considered the favorite haunt of Huhai's young elites; to get in and spend money, one must first buy a mbership card costing at least a hundred thousand.
At that mont.
In one of the private rooms, Huang Tianming was drinking alone, but instead of drowning his sorrows with alcohol, it only intensified his grief. Whenever he recalled the incident under the sky bridge, he would grind his teeth in anger.
"Young Master, the person you were looking for has arrived."
At that mont, one of Huang Tianming's subordinates brought over a man dressed in a suit and leather shoes, wearing gold-rimd glasses.
This attire wasn't too conspicuous in this bar, where countless people posed in a similar fashion.
If Xu Musen or Bai Xin were here, they would imdiately recognize him.
It was Luo Hao, the man who used to chase after Bai Xin at Huhai University, who also plotted to sabotage Xu Musen's tea shop and was swiftly expelled after being discovered.
"You are Luo Hao?"
Huang Tianming gave him a look, noting his suited guise and, for so reason, felt this guy was really pretentious.
Thinking this, Huang Tianming straightened his own white bespoke suit.
"Did you want sothing from ?"
Luo Hao was just on his way ho from work when, right outside the university, he was abruptly approached by a few thuggish characters, saying soone wanted to et him.
Although Luo Hao was quite a scoundrel himself, he was sowhat afraid of actual thugs.
He followed them here to the bar, a place he had heard of, frequented only by the well-off, his family's conditions were good too, but not to the extent of being wastefully extravagant.
Moreover, his status was rather sensitive. Being spotted drinking here could complicate explanations at his institution.
Initially, he wondered if he had offended so powerful figure. However, seeing the young man in his twenties before him, his nervousness considerably decreased.
Huang Tianming gestured for him to sit down, then pulled out a photo— it was the scene of Zhu Yulan throwing herself into Xu Musen's arms on the sky bridge.
However, the part of the photo showing Zhu Yulan had been torn away, leaving only Xu Musen's upper body.
"You know this person, right?"
Luo Hao glanced down and imdiately clenched his teeth— the person who caused his expulsion from Huhai University was recognizable even if reduced to ashes.
Luo Hao, looking at the young, well-dressed man before him, asked, "What is your relationship with him?"
"It's good that you recognize him."
Huang Tianming didn't respond to his question, continuing on his own, "I have already checked. You were a teacher at Huhai University with a bright future ahead. However, due to a matter concerning a student's tea shop at school, you were dismissed. Now, you have to work at a private college as an ordinary lecturer. The cause of all this was that person."
Huang Tianming pointed to the photo.
These words seed to sprinkle salt on Luo Hao's wounds.
"What exactly do you an?" Luo Hao frowned.
"I'll get straight to the point. I have a feud with this man, and you have a grudge against him too. Now, I'm offering you a chance to get your revenge. If you handle this well, I can even give you so benefits."
Huang Tianming was straightforward, as soone born with a silver spoon in his mouth; he believed nothing couldn't be fixed with money.
"Why should I help you take revenge?"
Luo Hao, in his heart, despised Xu Musen, but he knew that Xu Musen was no ordinary college student; it would be difficult to truly trip him up with trivial matters.
Another misstep could an saying goodbye to the educational field forever.
Because the other party knew so much detail, it was evident that the bitterness was significant, and Luo Hao would not be soone's puppet.
Huang Tianming knew that his type wouldn't talk without seeing personal benefit.
Huang Tianming then took another photo from his pocket and handed it over, "I've also heard so interesting gossip. You liked a female teacher at your school, right? But it seems this teacher, and her clever student, have a surprisingly good relationship..."
Luo Hao jolted ntally, looking down at the photo.
The photo showed Xu Musen and Bai Xin leisurely strolling in a neighborhood, chatting and laughing, their interaction not quite resembling that of a typical teacher and student.
Moreover, the two of them were about to enter an apartnt building together. The angle of the photography suggested it was deliberately chosen, inciting endless speculation.
Luo Hao was unaware of Xu Musen and Bai Xin buying houses in the sa neighborhood, but those photos, coupled with Huang Tianming's leading tone,
ignited the suppressed frustration, anger, and bitterness in his heart at that mont.
"This bitch..."
Luo Hao could not help but curse. Bai Xin had rejected him nurous tis, claiming she wasn't interested in dating, only to turn around and be ambiguously involved with her own student.
His feelings of defeat twisted into extre jealousy and hatred!
Were it not for Xu Musen, perhaps all this would have belonged to him!
Indeed, a man can never escape the allure of power and beauty.
Now, Luo Hao had lost both his career and his love interest. He fell from a promising university professor to a common staff mber at a vocational college. This drop felt like a ticking ti bomb, just waiting for soone to light the fuse.
Seeing this, Huang Tianming's lips curled into a smirk of triumph, "Now, I can give you this opportunity to make him taste the bitterness of complete ruin. I won't let you help for free; I promise you, if you handle this well, I'll give you a sum of money, and perhaps you could even return to a prestigious university as an esteed professor."
