[Host! Just now, the Prajna Instrunt showed that Ruan Qingqing's aversion to n dropped by another five points!]
The system chuckled.
[Surprised? Unexpected?]
Oh wow, isn't it amazing when luck just falls into your lap?
Ji Mu paused mid-step as he descended the stairs. "This is quite a surprise. What's the reason this ti?"
[Hehe, just now, Ruan Qingqing heard the warning you gave to Situ Yan.]
The system swung its short legs as it perched on Ji Mu’s shoulder, casually revealing the reason.
[By making such a bold declaration of protection in front the entire class of seniors, the female lead, who's spent her whole life being bullied, saw soone stand up for her for the first ti. You know that kind of thing stirs up emotions.]
For example, imagine that you are an invisible figure in your class, often picked on and targeted by the school bully.
Then one day, a new friend of yours steps in, beats up the bully, and in front of everyone, declares that you are now under his protection.
This feeling of being openly protected would move anyone deeply.
It's easy to understand why Ruan Qingqing feels the way she does.
After all, with a move of like that, how couldn't she be touched?
It's no wonder their friendship value had increased.
[Host, you should have seen how ridiculous Ruan Qingqing's face looked just now.]
Her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were misty. She looked as if she had just ascended to a peak of emotional enlightennt.
The transformation from friendship to close friendship happened at that exact mont!
[I can still rember the look in the female lead's eyes when she looked at you...]
[It was real! A soul-piercing gaze, almost hitting the level of a soul mate!]
Absolute. Peak. Perfection.
Simply unparalleled!
"So that's what happened," Ji Mu muttered, understanding. "Then that ans we're another step closer to saving the world?"
[Exactly! Now, Ruan Qingqing's favorability has reached -25!]
Steady and gentle progress, right? 🤗
The system was so happy that it almost broke into a mid-air dancing jig.
Given the current situation, it couldn't imagine anything going wrong.
With such an overwhelming advantage, how could we lose?
The system thought back to the warning from the Ti Managent Bureau a while ago, telling it to be wary of the laws of nature and possible changes.
It scoffed.
Yeah, right! There can't be that many changes.
You old bureaucrats must be going senile!
Even if sothing was wrong with the laws of nature, so what?
I am the most powerful support system! Who would dare to plot against ? Who even could?!
…
Dusk!
As the ethereal chi of the school bell rang through the classrooms, the once peaceful and serene campus erupted into lively chaos within minutes.
The corridor leading to the school gate buzzed with chatter, students in uniforms pressing shoulder to shoulder as they hurried to leave.
In contrast to this cheerful atmosphere outside, the office inside was steeped in a much more oppressive air.
"I understand the situation," the principal said flatly after listening to the horoom teacher’s report. "Thank you for your hard work. You can go and get so rest now."
"Yes, Principal."
After the teacher bowed and stepped out, silence reclaid the office.
Tap. Tap. Tap.
Knuckles rapped lightly against the desk. A cold glint flashed in the principal's eyes.
Kidnapping? Hah!
Since when did so nobodies like them think they could run wild in Tianhua City?
"The weather is getting cold… ti for the Axe Gang to disappear."
He muttered to himself, his tone completely indifferent.
Reaching into his desk drawer, he pulled out a black phone and dialed a number.
The phone rang for a few seconds before connecting.
"This is Gu Changlin," he said evenly.
Even through the receiver, the person on the other end could clearly feel the weight of his authority.
"You've really outdone yourselves, haven't you? The 'serious terrorist incident' in the city center last night, so thugs wrecking storefronts, hasn't made a single headline."
"..."
"Just a gang fight? The businesses already signed a settlent? That's your excuse?"
"Tell , then—did you know that my own nephew was nearly caught up in that ss?! How are you going to explain that?"
Whatever response ca from the other end of the line sent a flash of anger through Gu Changlin. He slamd a palm onto the desk and shot to his feet.
"If soone pointed a gun at my head, would you tell you weren't sure if there was a bullet in the chamber?"
The anger in his words was palpable, his authoritative presence fully unleashed, exuding an overwhelming sense of pressure.
The person on the other end was clearly terrified, his voice trembling as he stamred out apology after apology.
Ti passed slowly. Only after receiving a firm assurance did Gu Changlin’s anger ease slightly.
"As long as you understand. I don't care what kind of rabble is behind the Axe Gang—wipe them out, and leave no one behind!"
Lowering himself back into his seat, he delivered his final ultimatum.
"Five days. I want them completely erased from Tianhua City. If you still can’t handle it, then take it up with my brother in the provincial capital."
If you dare lay a hand on Gu Changlin’s nephew, not even connections in Jiangcheng will save you.
…
Ti slipped by like an arrow loosed from its string, vanishing quietly amidst the drifting autumn leaves.
"Ji Mu."
This sowhat familiar na had once again beco one of the hottest topics on the school forum in recent days.
Average looks. Average family background. Other than his absurdly high academic performance, there was nothing remarkable about him.
But this seemingly diocre character, who wouldn't stand out in a crowd, had publicly beaten the underworld prince Situ Yan into unconsciousness!
Anot not just him, even his accompanying bodyguards and his butler were beaten beyond recognition.
As students buzzed with speculation, wondering if Ji Mu didn't fear any retaliation from the Situ family…
A bombshell news story dropped online, shaking all of Tianhua City.
The biggest force in Tianhua City's underworld, the Situ family, had fallen!
It is said that the police, ard with evidence secretly provided by an insider, mobilized a large number of ard police overnight to carry out a raid.
Dozens of infrared scopes locked onto the Situ family’s villa, cutting off any chance of resistance. With no other options, they surrendered without a fight, willingly cuffing themselves and filing into police vehicles.
Even the hidden backers pulling strings from the shadows weren’t spared. A secret dossier exposed every last one of them, sealing their fate alongside the Situ family's key mbers.
The once arrogant and untouchable Situ Yan was no exception—he couldn't escape his fate.
That very night, Officer Shu Tai visited his ho, presented him with a list of various cris, and dragged his severely injured body to prison.
Online, public outrage exploded. The internet was flooded with furious comnts, with so even forming groups to petition the court for a retrial, demanding that he receive the sa death sentence as his father.
But the noble students of Yulan High School remained silent.
After all, the impact of this incident was too great, and it was hard not to wonder…
Could Ji Mu have had sothing to do with this?
As amateur internet sleuths dug deeper into Ji Mu’s background, they began uncovering one shocking incident after another.
Chu Yashi, the principal’s daughter, had been slapped by Ji Mu.
Crazy Bear, the campus bully, had been taken down by Ji Mu.
And now, Situ Yan.
Each of these people had extraordinary backgrounds, and ordinary nobles would bow down to them.
Yet sohow, every single one of these prominent figures vanished without a trace after crossing paths with Ji Mu.
So were exiled, so were imprisoned, but none of them t a good end.
Most people were shocked. But in the end, they had no choice but to accept an undeniable truth—
This seemingly ordinary four-eyed nerd… was actually a mysterious hidden boss?!
