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

Lu Ziang pulled up a set of decryption tools from another folder.

This decryption tool was not developed by him personally, but was handed to him by the powerful figure behind him.

And that important person was none other than...

It was Liu Wei's father, Liu Zhenguo.

Lu Ziang still vividly remembers the scene half a year ago when the old man sat in the study and gave him this task.

"Zi'ang, you are thoughtful and steady in your work, much better than that beast Liu Wei who was blinded by profit."

The old man's tone was full of heavy entrustment: "I, as the father, know best what kind of person my son is."

"That kid from the Jiang family is a promising talent. Liu Wei failed to injure Jiang Che during the marathon, so he'll have to make a move on him sooner or later."

"After the college entrance exam in six months, wherever Jiang Che goes, you go too. Stay by his side and protect him, understand?"

Lu Ziang remained silent for a long time.

He knew what this meant.

This means betraying Liu Wei, and it means getting involved in a power struggle.

This also means that he will have to live under a false identity for the next few years, proceeding cautiously step by step.

But he agreed anyway.

Because Liu Zhenguo saved his life.

When Lu Ziang was twelve years old, his parents died in a car accident.

It was Liu Zhenguo who took him out of the orphanage, provided him with an education, and taught him to recognize people and judge things.

Therefore, he must repay the life-saving grace of Old Master Liu.

Lu Ziang snapped out of his thoughts and continued typing rapidly on the keyboard.

The decoding progress bar on the screen kept jumping—23%, 41%, 58%...

He knew, of course, that the USB drive was a setup by Jiang Che.

But that's precisely why he was determined to jump in without hesitation.

"Jiang Che, you are indeed very smart."

Lu Ziang stared at the fluctuating numbers on the screen and muttered to himself, "But you're surrounded by enemies. Liu Wei, Ye Yunjin, Jiang Dahe—aren't they all eyeing you covetously?"

"If you can't tell who your enemy is and who your friend is, you'll suffer a great loss sooner or later."

The progress bar quickly jumped to 99%.

But at that moment, Lu Ziang suddenly pressed the space bar, pausing the decoding progress.

He was waiting for Jiang Che's location program to record all his operation logs completely.

He wanted Jiang Che to know that he was not just a simple mole.

He wanted Jiang Che to follow these clues and find Liu Zhenguo behind him, and to find out the true purpose of his infiltration.

Rather than letting Jiang Che harbor suspicions and be wary of him, it's better to take the initiative and expose yourself.

Once the truth is revealed to a certain extent, Jiang Che will naturally come to confront him.

At that time, he will be able to lay everything out and explain it clearly.

After estimating that the timing was about right, Lu Ziang pressed the space bar again to cancel the pause.

The progress bar jumped to 100% after a few seconds.

The encryption protocol was successfully cracked.

The contents of the USB drive popped up on the screen; it was a quarterly financial statement of Jiang Sheng Group.

Lu Ziang quickly browsed through them and soon discovered that much of the data in these files had been tampered with.

He couldn't help but chuckle. It turned out that Jiang Che had been holding back a trick up his sleeve.

Indeed, no wonder he was chosen by Old Master Liu; he is indeed meticulous.

Without further hesitation, Lu Ziang packaged the file intact and sent it to an email address.

This email address was Liu Zhenguo's private email address.

Lu Ziang was very clear about what he was doing.

He wanted Jiang Che's monitoring program to capture this data transmission.

He wanted Jiang Che to follow this line of inquiry.

Only by continuing the investigation will Jiang Che discover that the person he truly serves is not Liu Wei, but Liu Zhenguo.

By then, everything will come to light.

After doing all this, Lu Ziang put away his computer and then put the USB drive back into the gap between the textbooks on Jiang Che's desk, in the exact same spot.

He then went back to his bed, drew the curtains again, picked up his phone, and started scrolling through videos as if nothing had happened.

It was as if nothing had happened.

……

Meanwhile, in the student union office on the third floor of the Kyoto University Arts Building.

Ye Qingru sat by the window, resting her chin on her hand, staring blankly at the ginkgo avenue outside.

On the computer screen in front of him was a message sent by Ye Yunjin not long ago.

"Qingru, I'll give you one last month."

"If this still doesn't create a rift between Jiang Che and Qing He, I will take back all of your parents' remaining shares in Jinye."

"From now on, whether your family lives or dies will have nothing to do with my Ye family."

"You're a smart child, and your aunt hopes you understand what to do next."

Ye Qingru took a deep breath, and as soon as Ye Yunjin's face appeared in her mind, she felt an overwhelming sense of irritation and disgust that she could not suppress no matter how hard she tried.

Asking her to steal her own sister's boyfriend is utterly absurd.

Ye Yunjin knew perfectly well how wary Jiang Che was, but she completely ignored it and only knew to forcefully urge her to continue.

Ye Qingru still can't forget the scenes of her first two failures.

The entire Peking University forum is now laughing at her, saying that she, a campus beauty, is shamelessly throwing herself at a freshman.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

On what grounds?

Ye Qingru is both beautiful and capable.

She is the Minister of Publicity of the Student Union and a top host for various evening events at Peking University.

The line of guys pursuing her could stretch from the front gate all the way to Weiming Lake.

But Jiang Che didn't even look at her directly.

Her younger sister, Su Qinghe, who appeared out of nowhere, was just a blind girl raised by Jiang Che, yet he doted on her like a treasure!

Ye Qingru was practically driven mad with jealousy.

"Since the soft approach isn't working..."

Ye Qingru's gaze fell on the promotional poster for the Beijing University Arts Festival on the wall not far away, and her eyes gradually turned cold. "Then let's go for the hard way."

She knew that Su Qinghe had signed up for the piano competition at the university arts festival.

Ye Qingru sneered, then pulled up a name from her phone's contacts—Zhou Lei.

The deputy director of the logistics department is also the head of the equipment management team responsible for the art festival competition venue.

This person has had a crush on her for a long time.

Ye Qingru sent him a message: "Minister Zhou, are you free tonight? I'd like to invite you to dinner and ask you about the arts festival."

The message was sent and received a reply in less than ten seconds.

"Of course I'm free. You decide on the place, Qingru, and we'll meet there."

Looking at the enthusiastic reply on the screen, Ye Qingru typed a few words expressionlessly: "Then let's go to that Hunan restaurant near the school gate. See you at 6:30."

……

the other side.

When Jiang Che returned to the villa with breakfast, Su Qinghe was nestled on the living room sofa, flipping through the competition rules for the arts festival.

Hearing the door open, she immediately put down her tablet, ran barefoot over, and took the bag from his hand.

"Why did it take you so long?"

Su Qinghe tiptoed and kissed him on the cheek, then leaned close to Jiang Che and sniffed him carefully with her little nose.

Thankfully, he didn't smell like any other woman.
