You're dumping me, huh? Fine, then I'll just pick up the school beauty and make her my wif

"Yes, evidence is indeed very important."

Jiang Che smiled slightly, "Speaking of which, there was something that happened a while ago. I wonder if Senior Liu has heard about it."

"Someone tried to stage an accident during the competition, but it was all filmed by a drone."

"Although all those who fired the shots under orders were later brought to justice, the people who ordered them have yet to come to light."

"Senior, do you think the person behind that person will ultimately escape?"

The students in the audience were completely bewildered. What was this all about?

Jiang Che's gaze remained fixed on him, his face expressionless.

But it was precisely this expressionless face that, for some reason, gave the audience goosebumps.

Liu Wei's fingers tightened slightly as he gripped the microphone.

But he was, after all, a veteran who had spent many years navigating the business and military worlds, and he regained his composure in a few seconds.

"I believe justice will prevail," Liu Wei said with a smile. "Also, I'd like to remind my junior that making unfounded accusations against others in public carries certain legal risks."

Jiang Che smiled and said, "You're right, senior."

"Then I'll ask one last question—if the truth comes out in the future and the manipulator is brought to justice..."

"Would you like to stand with me in the audience and applaud him?"

After speaking, Jiang Che removed the microphone from his mouth and nodded slightly to end the questioning session.

The students once again shifted their attention from Jiang Che to Liu Wei on the stage.

Seeing that Liu Wei did not respond for a long time, the principal quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, thank you for the question, and thank you for Mr. Liu Wei's excellent answer."

"That concludes the interactive session. Mr. Liu Wei, please go backstage to rest now."

Liu Wei nodded in acknowledgment, but the smile on his face finally turned cold the moment he turned away.

Sparse applause and buzzing discussions arose from the audience.

After Jiang Che sat down, Su Qinghe immediately turned to him and asked with concern, "Ah Che, are you alright?"

"What could possibly be wrong with me?" Jiang Che patted the back of her hand. "I just got up to chat with some old acquaintances, and it felt pretty good."

Su Qinghe stared at him for two seconds, and only after confirming that he wasn't just putting on a brave face did she breathe a slight sigh of relief.

But she knew in her heart that this public confrontation was not as simple as just chatting.

Ah Che played his cards openly, which was a way of telling Liu Wei—

I know you're the mastermind behind this.

I will make you pay for everything you've done.

Xu Wenbin leaned over and whispered, "Old Jiang, do you know that Liu Wei?"

Jiang Che did not deny it, but simply said, "Yes, we had some past conflicts."

"I see."

Xu Wenbin wasn't stupid; he knew the man didn't want to talk about it, so he didn't press the matter further.

The principal was still presiding over the follow-up procedures on stage, but everyone's minds were clearly elsewhere.

Jiang Che's gaze swept past the crowd and toward the side of the stage.

He knew that what happened today was just the beginning.

Liu Wei made him stand in front of more than three thousand people today, intending to give him a warning.

As a result, he outmaneuvered her.

A "successful person" who was almost humiliated in public by a junior student has lost a lot of face.

Although it seemed that Jiang Che had won, he showed no sign of pride.

Because he knew very well that if Liu Wei was pushed to the limit, he would only become more unscrupulous.

The days ahead are likely to be turbulent.

……

The opening ceremony concluded with the principal's concluding remarks.

After the ceremony, the lights in the auditorium were turned back on, and more than 3,000 new students got up and walked out one after another.

Jiang Che protected Su Qinghe as they walked through the crowd, and people frequently cast curious glances their way.

Some came for him, while others came for Su Qinghe.

After all, who wouldn't want to take a second look at the handsome freshman who had almost embarrassed the "outstanding senior" on the big screen just now?

Su Qinghe felt a little uncomfortable under these gazes and moved closer to Jiang Che's side.

Jiang Che looked down at her. "What's wrong?"

"Many people are watching us."

"Let them look, it's not like it'll hurt them."

After saying goodbye to their roommates, the two were picked up by Liu Anping and driven back to the villa.

After returning home and washing up, Jiang Che pulled her into his arms, feeling her still slightly tense body, and gently patted her back.

"Don't overthink it, I know what happened today."

Su Qinghe buried her face in his chest and mumbled a soft "hmm".

"Ah Che, is he going to do something to you again?"

"He wouldn't dare." Jiang Che chuckled. "I'm not the same Jiang Che from last year who was waiting for others to trample on me."

"If he dares to reach out again, I'll rip his hand off by the roots."

Su Qinghe was amused by his words and completely relaxed. She soon fell asleep in his arms.

But while the two were sound asleep, a topic had completely ignited the Kyoto University campus forum.

[Jiang Che, a freshman from the Class of 26 in the School of Economics and Management, confronted the executive director of Zhenyuan Group at the opening ceremony – so bold!]

The post was made by a student sitting in the front row, along with a video taken at the scene.

In the video, Jiang Che stands in the crowd holding a microphone, his back view is slender, and his voice is clear and crisp.

The post received over three thousand likes in less than an hour.

Then, someone dug up a short video of the self-introductions during the afternoon class meeting.

[Sisters, come quick! We've just discovered a stunningly handsome junior brother!]

[I need all of this man's contact information in three minutes!]

[This physique is on par with top celebrities, right? A 1.86-meter tall, muscular, handsome guy, his sex appeal is off the charts!]

The forum was instantly flooded with Jiang Che's posts.

The discussion went on until 1 a.m. when a new post suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

[I propose a beauty pageant for Peking University's Class of 26, and I'm going to immediately lock in Jiang Che as the number one male candidate!]

Hundreds of replies quickly flooded the post.

[I second that! The school heartthrob must be Jiang Che!]

[I recommend a female candidate! Su Qinghe from the School of Economics and Management, Class of 26. I saw her in person at the welcome center this afternoon, she's so beautiful and ethereal!]

[I've seen the one mentioned upstairs too! She's Jiang Che's girlfriend, right? I heard she sat next to him the whole time at the ceremony.]

[Oh my god, they're a couple! Unbelievable! The guy is so handsome and the girl is so beautiful, they're a match made in heaven!]

After a night of fermentation, almost everyone in the Peking University freshman group knew the names Jiang Che and Su Qinghe.

The two people being discussed were completely unaware of this.

……

The alarm clock rang precisely at seven o'clock the next morning.

Su Qinghe rolled around on the bed twice, clutching the blanket, before finally peeking her head out from under the covers with a reluctant expression.

"Ah Che, sleep for five more minutes..."

You'll be late in five minutes.

Jiang Che had already changed into his military training uniform. He then walked to the bedside, grabbed a corner of the blanket with practiced ease, and pulled Su Qinghe out of the blanket in one swift motion.

"Get up, I'll go downstairs and prepare breakfast."

"..."

Su Qinghe closed her eyes, reached for her phone on the bedside table, glanced at the time, sighed, and had no choice but to obediently sit up.
