Lu Jingxiu thought it was alright.

It was just that he did something a little too much to a guy, and then he jumped off a building and committed suicide.

Well, if this were in the normal world, it would indeed be quite frightening.

They forced a living, breathing person to jump from the seventh floor in full view of everyone, while Mo Yan himself sat down in the library, holding a book, without moving a finger.

This could be considered another perfect crime.

But in this world, it's really just so-so.

It's not even as fast as those domineering CEOs who just say "make him disappear forever" and their assistants rush out in the middle of the night with shovels to handle the situation.

Moreover, those domineering CEOs don't even need to lift a finger, or even think. They just say one sentence, simple and straightforward.

Mo Yan's approach, which involves going through all sorts of roundabout methods, including psychological suggestion and strategic planning, is really a bit too artistic and doesn't fit into the typical domineering CEO genre.

That's not efficient enough, bro.

"The fourth thing is his romantic history." Li Qingqing was a little thirsty, so she quickened her pace, "He's had two girlfriends."

"The first one was named Xie Qianyue. She was missing for a whole year and was only recently rescued."

"When he was found, he was said to be extremely thin and unrecognizable. He was locked in a basement and his mental state was so poor that even his family did not recognize him."

Lu Jingxiu: "..."

No one could stand being locked in a basement and eating curry rice every day for a year.

"The second one was even more outrageous," Li Qingqing took a deep breath. "The whole family disappeared. Some people say they were taken to a private island, and no one has seen them since."

"Two women, one was rescued, the other's body was never found."

"You told me to be careful of him," Li Qingqing turned her head, looking at Lu Jingxiu with a complicated expression, "Now I understand what you really meant by that."

What she couldn't understand was how Lu Jingxiu had managed to provoke such an enemy in the first place.

Lu Jingxiu nodded: "I know about this news; he told me himself."

She turned to face Lu Jingxiu, her gaze fixed on his face: "Lu Jingxiu, have you ever thought about why he's targeting you?"

"All the information I found indicates that Mo Yan has a very obvious characteristic."

She paused for a moment, then slowly uttered two words: "Control."

Li Qingqing didn't elaborate further, but instead changed the subject: "A person like that wouldn't target you for no reason."

She turned to face Lu Jingxiu, looking at him quietly: "Either you possess something he desires, or you control too many things you shouldn't, or perhaps..."

"You and he have known each other for a long time, but you just didn't know it, or you didn't want to tell me."

Lu Jingxiu remained facing the lake, silent for a moment, then said with a hint of helplessness, "In the last campus kidnapping case, he confessed to the kidnappers about kidnapping his ex-girlfriend."

"I happened to be there, so I just stepped in and did what I could to help."

"Then, I reported him to the police."

Li Qingqing: "..."

Lu Jingxiu continued, "Then, the police arrested him and detained him for fifteen days, but they couldn't find any key evidence, so they had to release him again."

"Then, to get revenge on me, he orchestrated the kidnapping of the Huang Family Manor. I called the police again, and they almost caught him this time, but he still managed to slip out of the country."

"A couple of days ago, he instigated a foreign warlord, something like Master Kun, to send mercenaries in to try and capture my whole family."

"I called the police again, and they took down all the mercenaries. Master Kun was also brought back from Southeast Asia."

"And then... he challenged me to a duel," Lu Jingxiu said, a hint of wistfulness in his eyes. "So, now you understand why I asked you to investigate him, right?"

Li Qingqing: "...?"

Her eyes widened, her lips parted slightly, then quickly tightened.

But these uncontrollable changes in expression were enough to reveal the turmoil raging within her.

Wait a minute... let her sort it out.

A once-popular campus figure, a rich kid, who used to chase after her, fawn over her, and fawn over her...

Suddenly, he's become the person kidnapped by mercenaries hired by a foreign warlord?!

How did this school setting suddenly turn into a police thriller?

She felt that Lu Jingxiu was not lying, because he had no reason to make up such an outrageous story to deceive her. Moreover, Mo Yan's intelligence was enough to demonstrate his danger.

So, during this time, Lu Jingxiu was not being cold to her or falling in love with someone else, but rather he was escaping from the brink of death and fighting wits with a highly intelligent freak.

Li Qingqing frowned, keeping this question to herself.

"So Mo Yan wants to silence you because you ruined his plans?"

She muttered to herself, speaking rapidly as she went, organizing her thoughts: "Foreign warlords, mercenaries, cross-border kidnapping... He even personally intervened, relentlessly pressing forward, so he wants your whole family dead?"

"You call the police, and they can handle school kidnappings and the Huang family manor, but what if the other party doesn't come openly next time, but secretly? Can you guarantee that you'll discover it in advance and call the police in time every time?"

"The fact that Mo Yan dares to do this means he has not only money but also foreign influence behind him. You've messed with a madman, and a powerful one at that..."

Li Qingqing's voice grew softer and softer until it almost became a soliloquy.

She then realized that the danger Lu Jingxiu was facing was far beyond her imagination.

And now I finally understand why Lu Jingxiu has been coming to school less and less lately.

All her previous attempts to train him, her schemes, tests, and plots, seemed utterly childish and laughable in the face of this life-or-death threat.

She even felt that what she had done before was like a child playing house.

She thought she was very clever and could control the situation, playing a game of love where one side controlled the other.

And what happened? They stopped playing that game a long time ago. Now they're playing a life-or-death survival war against highly intelligent criminals...

She moved her arm slightly, then raised it to gently tuck a few strands of hair that had been ruffled by the wind behind her ear.

Then, she began to think about it seriously.

Lu Jingxiu didn't say anything. In his mind, he went through the message that Li Qingqing had given him again.

After a moment, Li Qingqing suddenly spoke, her tone unusually serious: "Mo Yan is a very controlling person. What he enjoys is making you feel fear while you are waiting and guessing."

"He did this on purpose. He wants to drag you into his rhythm. As long as you wait for his next move, he has already won half the battle."

Lu Jingxiu raised an eyebrow and looked at Li Qingqing with some surprise.
