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

It's not difficult to guess that Lu Ziang did it.

Having spent so many days together, Jiang Che knew how meticulous Lu Ziang was.

He knew that if this news broke immediately, it would completely extinguish any hope of Liu Wei turning the tables, preventing any unforeseen complications.

Lu Ziang has worked hard by my side these past few days, running around taking care of everything. I'll treat him to a meal when I have some free time in a couple of days to reward him properly.

Thinking of this, Jiang Che patted Su Qinghe, who was still snuggled in bed, and said, "Get up and wash up. You have class this morning, and I have to go back to the dorm before class."

Su Qinghe squinted and rubbed her hand against his palm, humming like a kitten before reluctantly getting up to get dressed.

After washing up and changing their clothes, the two headed towards Peking University.

When the two arrived at school, it was only 7:10, still a long way from 8:00 when class started.

So the two of them strolled leisurely to the boys' dormitory building. Su Qinghe stood obediently downstairs waiting for him, while Jiang Che went upstairs by himself.

When Jiang Che arrived at the door of dormitory 412, he saw that it was still dark inside. He assumed that they hadn't gotten up yet, so he moved quietly and carefully pushed the door open.

As soon as he pushed open the door, Xu Wenbin suddenly yelled and pounced on him, punching him squarely in the shoulder.

"You're finally back, kid! Do you know I've been playing the stern guy for almost two weeks? It almost drove me crazy!"

"Especially yesterday morning when I was having coffee with Gu Yanzhou, he kept saying bad things about you, I almost couldn't hold back and threw hot coffee in his face!"

"I was originally planning to stage a market show today and just give that idiot Gu Yanzhou a piece of my mind, but when I opened Weibo this morning, I saw the news that Liu Wei and Gu Yanzhou had been arrested!"

Xu Wenbin rattled off a long, hurried speech, his face turning bright red, his excitement barely concealed.

God knows how much he's been holding in his anger these past few days.

Seeing a bunch of people on the forum criticizing Jiang Che and praising Gu Yanzhou every day, he almost couldn't help but jump out and curse several times, only managing to hold back by the thought that "if you're going to act, you have to go all the way."

Now that the dust has settled, I feel completely refreshed!

At this moment, Song Mingxuan also poked his head out from the upper bunk, looking at Jiang Che and Xu Wenbin below with a complicated expression: "So you two were acting? I was wondering why Lao Xu suddenly changed his expression. I almost thought something had happened to you two, it gave me quite a fright."

If he had known that Jiang Che and Xu Wenbin were just putting on an act, he wouldn't have had to be so anxious and worried about both sides, afraid that he might say something wrong and upset both of them at the same time.

Hearing Song Mingxuan say this, Jiang Che felt quite guilty, since Song Mingxuan was the only one in the entire dormitory who had been kept in the dark.

But there was nothing Jiang Che could do. Getting Xu Wenbin involved in the plan to deal with Liu Wei was already an unexpected surprise. Luckily, Xu Wenbin's acting was phenomenal, and his cleverness backfired, making the plan progress even more smoothly.

If there were another Song Mingxuan, and Song Mingxuan made a mistake somewhere, Jiang Che would face a situation where he would lose everything.

Jiang Che simply couldn't bear such consequences.

"I'm really sorry, Lao Song. I was just thinking about your safety. Liu Wei is a madman. I was worried that he might do something to you if he got desperate, so I kept it from you."

Jiang Che clasped his hands together and sincerely apologized, saying that if such a thing happened again in the future, he would try his best not to hide it from them.

Song Mingxuan was a reasonable person. He knew that Jiang Che had his own difficulties, so he naturally wouldn't complain.

Besides, this is their business, so what right does he have to complain?

The three chatted and laughed for two minutes before Jiang Che noticed that Lu Ziang was not in the dormitory.

"Hey Lao Xu, where's Lao Lu? I haven't seen him."

"He went for a morning run, I reckon he'll be back soon."

Speak of the devil and he shall appear.

The moment Xu Wenbin finished speaking, the dormitory door was pushed open.

Then Lu Ziang's figure came into view.

When Lu Ziang entered, he was immediately struck by the sight of three people staring at him, which intimidated him.

Taking advantage of Lu Ziang's dazed state, Xu Wenbin pulled him to stand in the middle: "Speaking of which, I once confronted this kid on the playground and questioned him. He just laughed it off and beat around the bush, refusing to tell me anything."

"Perfect timing! Now that things are over, and all the brothers are here, can you two finally give me and Lao Song the real story?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ziang smiled somewhat awkwardly, seemingly not expecting Xu Wenbin to still remember this matter.

He glanced at Jiang Che cautiously, and seeing Jiang Che nod slightly, he stopped hiding it: "Actually, I was sent by Old Master Liu Zhenguo. My main task is to keep an eye on Liu Wei's group and protect Jiang Che as well."

"I kept it from you two before because I was afraid the news would leak out and alert the enemy. I'm sorry, guys."

No sooner had Lu Ziang finished speaking than Xu Wenbin reached out and slapped him on the shoulder. "You old Lu, so you're afraid I'll let something slip, huh?"

Song Mingxuan climbed down from the top bunk. "So, our dorm has been staging a spy movie every day for the past two weeks? I think the three of you should just give up on university and go to Hengdian to become actors. If I were the director, I'd pay you at least two hundred a day."

"Screw you! A top student from Peking University like me is only worth two hundred a day?"

Jiang Che looked at the three people making a scene and said, "Alright, alright, blame me if you must. I'm the one who told Lao Lu to keep it a secret."

"I didn't want you to get involved in this. After all, the fewer people who know, the safer it is. Liu Wei is a deep and calculating person, and I'm afraid you might accidentally let something slip and get yourself into trouble."

"Here's what we're doing. I heard there's a new Haidilao hot pot restaurant in our cafeteria, right? I'll treat you guys to lunch today. Order whatever you want, as an apology to you guys."

Upon hearing the words "treat us to a meal," Xu Wenbin and Song Mingxuan completely forgot about their sulking.

They were all clamoring that they would eat Jiang Che into bankruptcy by lunchtime.

The four chatted for a while longer. Jiang Che realized that he had left Su Qinghe standing downstairs alone for about seven or eight minutes, so he quickly stood up and said that he had to leave first.

The three of them checked the time; it was already past 7:20. Although there was still a lot of time before class, they decided to just walk together.

You can also comfortably have breakfast in the cafeteria.
