Chapter 176: Chapter 157: [Guilty Conscience]

"Lu Wen got beaten up by Situ Ruoshui’s official boyfriend!"

Early the next morning, this news spread through Dong hai University at an unimaginable speed.

Even on the university’s forum, there was a special thread discussing the incident, and it was posted by one of Lu Wen’s followers who had recently offended a child of an official’s family.

To increase credibility, the poster uploaded the video and pictures of Lu Wen being rejected, as well as photos of Lu Wen and Zhang Jianren lying on the ground like dead dogs afterward.

Instantly, the incident blew up at Dong hai University and spread rapidly across the internet, even reaching two well-known portal websites that published the news with the headline—"League of Legends spokesperson Situ Ruoshui’s suitor out of jealousy, gets into a brawl."

As the main character of the incident, Ye Fan was completely unaware of all this.

Last night, after he accompanied Situ Ruoshui and Su Liuli for snacks at the City God Temple, he first dropped Situ Ruoshui back at Purple Garden Villa, and then drove a Mercedes S450 from Situ Ruoshui’s villa to take Su Liuli back to Tan Palace—the Tan Palace Villa was specifically prepared by Chu Ji as a residence for Ye Fan and Su Liuli.

Once back at Tan Palace Villa, Su Liuli and Su Yuxin chatted away with the excitement of a couple newly reunited, leaving Ye Fan, who had just experienced the joys of a romantic encounter for the first time, with no choice but to sulkily practice meditation cultivation in the guest room.

In the morning, just as usual, Ye Fan got up early for his morning exercises. When he came back, he found that Su Liuli and Su Yuxin had both left; the former went to school for classes, while Su Yuxin had gone to report to Tianshan Group’s Dong hai branch.

Seeing that he was left alone, Ye Fan took a cold shower and decided to drive around Dong hai by himself.

In fact, Ye Fan was not unfamiliar with Dong hai, known as the "Dongfang Pearl." Over the past two years, he had flown from Dong hai several times on missions to other major alliances, but each visit was rushed and he had not truly experienced the beauty of Dong hai.

The Bund, Dongfang Zhu Tower, Yu Garden...

From morning to afternoon, Ye Fan spent the entire day wandering the city aimlessly.

When the sun began to set, Ye Fan happened to drive to the street where Dong hai University was located and suddenly remembered that he had to go to Situ Chen’s residence at Ao Xiang Villa for dinner that night.

Last night, after Ye Fan dropped Situ Ruoshui back at Purple Garden Villa, Situ Chen called him. On one hand, he warned Ye Fan that Lv Canghai, wary of violating the Yanhuang Organization’s rules, dared not take open revenge and would probably resort to treachery, so Ye Fan should be careful. On the other hand, he invited Ye Fan to arrive at Dong hai Gang’s main base Ao Xiang Villa on She Mountain by seven o’clock in the evening for dinner.

Thinking of Situ Chen’s invitation, Ye Fan thought for a moment, took out his phone, and sent a message to Situ Ruoshui: Ruoshui, I’m near Dong hai University right now. What time do you finish classes? I’ll join you and go to Ao Xiang Villa together.

"Big brother, I’ll be out of class in twenty minutes. Can you wait for me at the school gate for a while?" Situ Ruoshui quickly replied.

Okay.

Ye Fan succinctly replied with a single "Okay" and drove to Dong hai University.

A few minutes later, Ye Fan parked his car at the gate of Dong hai University and was surprised to see Situ Ruoshui’s BMW mini still parked in the same spot as yesterday.

Meanwhile, Xiao Hu, who acted as Situ Ruoshui’s personal bodyguard, was the first to step out of the BMW mini and quickly walked towards Ye Fan’s Mercedes S450.

Seeing this, Ye Fan rolled down the window.

"Mr. Ye!"

Xiao Hu greeted Ye Fan with a salute, his eyes filled with reverence and admiration.

Last night, after returning to Ao Xiang Villa, he specifically asked his master, Fei Si, for more information about Ye Fan and was utterly astonished at what he heard!

"Do you wait here for Ruoshui every day?" Ye Fan asked with a smile.

"Mm."

Xiao Hu nodded.

"Aren’t you afraid that Nanqinghong’s people might sneak into the school and abduct Ruoshui?"

Ye Fan was curious. In his view, setting aside Xiao Hu’s lack of strength, even an Innate Master couldn’t guarantee Situ Ruoshui’s safety by just guarding the school gate.

"Mr. Ye may not know, but according to Yanhuang Organization regulations, Jianghu People are not allowed to commit acts of violence in various institutions, schools, and hospitals. Otherwise, not only would the perpetrator be put to death without mercy, but their organization, sect, or clan would also be completely eradicated!"

Xiao Hu honestly replied, "Because of this rule, hardly any organization or individual dares to provoke the Yanhuang Organization’s bottom line—the Yanhuang Organization’s deterrent power is simply too strong!"

"I see," Ye Fan said as he suddenly understood.

"Mr. Ye, I heard that last night you disabled the Kung Fu of Lv Canghai’s son, Lu Wen, a leader of the Yanhuang Organization in Dong hai?"

Xiao Hu hesitated before asking, his eyes full of curiosity as he looked at Ye Fan, wondering why Ye Fan dared to provoke even the people of the Yanhuang Organization, "Aren’t you afraid of Lv Canghai’s retaliation?"

"The other party wanted to kill me, so it was an act of self-defense. I didn’t violate any of the Yanhuang Organization’s regulations," Ye Fan explained casually.

"I see..."

Xiao Hu appeared thoughtful and was about to say something but saw Ye Fan’s gaze turn towards the school gate, so he swallowed his words, silently returned to the BMW mini, and stood by.

Under Ye Fan’s gaze, students walked out of the campus in groups of threes and fives, talking and laughing, their faces brimming with joy.

Seeing the carefree smiles on those students’ faces, Ye Fan couldn’t help but sigh inwardly; he knew that even if he became one of those students, he could not blend into college life and would instead become an outcast.

"What do you think, who is Situ Ruoshui’s official boyfriend really?"

"If you ask me, he must have a very impressive background, right?"

"Isn’t that obvious? If his background wasn’t strong, would he have been able to make Lu Wen and his group drop out of school?"

...

As Ye Fan was silently reflecting, three male students walked past the Mercedes S450, talking loudly.

What?

Overhearing the three saying that Lu Wen and others had dropped out, Ye Fan was at first startled, but then he realized—given Lu Wen and his group’s arrogant nature, having suffered such a humiliating defeat last night and becoming the laughingstock of Dong University, it was natural they couldn’t stay.

Five minutes later, wearing a white sweater paired with blue jeans and sneakers, Situ Ruoshui walked out of the campus alone. Seeing the Mercedes S450 where Ye Fan was, she ran over with the joy of a cheerful sprite, hopping and skipping along.

Whoosh!

Originally, Situ Ruoshui was already popular at Dong hai University, but after last night’s incident, she became even more so—the most popular girl in the school, attracting attention with every move she made.

Because of this, she became the absolute focus of attention the moment she appeared, with the gazes of the students at the school gate following her like trackers, shifting with her every step.

A bit later, as Situ Ruoshui approached the Mercedes S450, hopping and skipping, Ye Fan rolled down the window, inadvertently drawing the gazes of those students at the gate to him.

Who is that young man?

Could it be... Could it be that he is Situ Ruoshui’s official boyfriend??

In shock at seeing Ye Fan’s face—not particularly handsome, but sufficiently good-looking and giving off a feeling of steadfastness—those students widened their eyes as if they had discovered a new world and started to wonder internally.

"Big brother, you’re now a hot topic in our school!" Seeing this scene, Situ Ruoshui said with a smile, "Today, so many people went to ask me about you!"

As she spoke, Situ Ruoshui thought about the campus rumor that Ye Fan was her official boyfriend, and she became quite shy, with her doll-like face turning red as though it would drip water.

Ye Fan had always yearned to experience student life. Now, he hadn’t gotten to experience it, yet he had become a person of interest on campus, which made him smile wryly to himself.

"Get in the car."

With a wry smile, seeing someone pull out a phone and attempt to take photos and recalling the discussion of those three students, Ye Fan rolled up the window while speaking—he didn’t mind being photographed but didn’t want his presence to affect Situ Ruoshui’s normal life!

Situ Ruoshui obediently nodded her head, walked around to the other side, opened the passenger door, and got into the car.

"Ruoshui, do you know the way to Ao Xiang Villa?" Ye Fan asked as he started the car.

"I do," Situ Ruoshui replied. "Although Dad doesn’t let me live there, I sometimes go there to play."

"Then you direct, I’ll drive."

Ye Fan smiled, understanding in his heart that Situ Chen didn’t want Situ Ruoshui living in Ao Xiang Villa because he didn’t want her purity and kindness to be tainted by the dark aspects of the Underworld—otherwise, Situ Ruoshui wouldn’t still have such an innocent nature despite already attending university.

...

The Ao Xiang Villa, located on She Mountain, was much larger than Ye Fan had imagined. It sat halfway up the mountainside, and from a distance, one could see the European style villas and a several-kilometer-long wall, like an earthly paradise.

Due to traffic, it took Ye Fan an hour, under Situ Ruoshui’s guidance, to finally reach Ao Xiang Villa.

"Miss, Mr. Ye, the boss is waiting for you in Villa No. 1." As the Mercedes S450 arrived at the entrance of the villa, the security guard saw Ye Fan and Situ Ruoshui and immediately granted them entry.

With a thankful smile, Ye Fan pressed the accelerator and drove into the villa complex, following the asphalt road toward the mountain-facing villas.

Along the way, Ye Fan clearly observed trees shading the road, flowers blooming profusely, and a huge lawn in the distance, which Situ Ruoshui told him was a golf course. Beyond that, the estate also boasted a horse-racing track.

Seeing all this, Ye Fan couldn’t help but inwardly exclaim—owning such a large estate in the expensive city of Dong hai was a testament to Situ Chen’s identity and status.

While Ye Fan was quietly reflecting, a Maybach came from behind, attempting to overtake the Mercedes S450.

As the cars passed each other, Ye Fan turned his head to look, and he was surprised to see Situ Haotian.

In that instant.

He saw something akin to nervousness on Situ Haotian’s face, as well as a deeply hidden hostility.

What?

Sensing the concealed hostility in Situ Haotian’s eyes, Ye Fan’s brow furrowed thoughtfully.

"Hum~"

At the same moment, feeling guilty as if he were a thief, Situ Haotian suddenly stepped on the accelerator. Accompanied by a roar, the Maybach abruptly sped up, instantly overtaking the Mercedes S450.

Would he tell his foster father the truth?

Inside the Maybach, Situ Haotian questioned himself, with his heart in his throat.

...
