Chapter 1697: Chapter 736: The Monitor Takes Charge! (Part 2)

“Hu Wenwu got anxious, wanting to prove he was right. After being mocked a few times and seeing so many students watching around, he probably lost his temper and acted in the heat of the moment.”

“Did he gain any advantage?”

Lin Baici pressed on.

“…”

Bai Jiao wanted to say, aren’t you focusing on the wrong thing?

“Wenwu doesn’t fight, but he’s been doing farm work since he was young, so he’s strong and has quite a bit of strength. Did he hit someone too hard?”

Lin Baici reassured, “If it’s just about paying some compensation, then there’s nothing to worry about!”

Bai Jiao heard the implication that Lin Baici seemed to want to spend money on behalf of Hu Wenwu, but if money could solve the issue, it would be quite straightforward.

“Hu Wenwu didn’t gain any advantage; he was kicked away with a single blow by that foreigner!”

“…”

Lin Baici could imagine how aggrieved and angry Hu Wenwu must feel right now.

Clearly, he had the moral high ground, yet things turned out this way.

“Hu Wenwu got up and wanted to go again but got slapped twice more!”

Bai Jiao sighed, “In any case, you better come quickly, or I think Hu Wenwu will break down!”

“Understood!”

Lin Baici, having confirmed Bai Jiao was fine, hung up the phone and turned to ask the tea girl, “What do you think?”

“Simply put, Hu Wenwu acted out of mistaken heroism and fell into a trap!”

The sound on speaker wasn’t loud, but it was enough for Ji Xinyan to hear.

“For most boys, they likely harbor the desire to be a hero. Seeing a foreigner taking sneaky photos of their female compatriot, of course, they need to stop it.”

“But unexpectedly, the female compatriot turned things around and blamed Hu Wenwu in return.”

“At this time, Hu Wenwu still didn’t realize the seriousness of the issue. If he had decisively left, nothing would have happened, but that honest nature of his made him stubborn.”

“He has to prove he’s not wrong; otherwise, he would feel he’ll have no face left in school with the label of ‘slandering others’ hanging over him.”

In Ji Xinyan’s view, Hu Wenwu had no idea. He thought he was standing up for what’s right, but the girl might have seen it as the start of a cross-cultural romance.

Their value systems were different.

Lin Baici nodded. If he encountered such a thing, he would also do his best to prove he wasn’t wrong.

“How do you plan to resolve this?”

Ji Xinyan could tell from Lin Baici’s expression that he was going to handle this matter, not just take a look.

“First, I’ll go see the specifics.”

When Lin Baici first came to the university, he had a pretty good impression of Hu Wenwu: “His parents have a hard time sending him to school; if he got expelled, it would ruin the whole family!”

“Hopefully, money can solve the problem!”

Ji Xinyan sighed.

Lin Baici didn’t know the power of that herding dog, and perhaps without the foreigner even making a move, the girl being photographed could have fought back fiercely against Hu Wenwu.

…

Bai Jiao hung up the phone, and her anxious mood calmed down a lot.

The reason she made this call was out of sympathy for Hu Wenwu.

She couldn’t run around for Hu Wenwu everywhere; it was impossible.

At most, she would call the counselor!

Speaking of which, Lin Baici’s voice was quite reassuring!

When Lin Baici received the call, he picked up the responsibility immediately.

No matter what, this kind of responsibility was fitting for the title of ‘class monitor,’ rather than just casually saying ‘I’ll notify the counselor’ and then ignoring it.

Bai Jiao recalled the phone conversation with Lin Baici again, wondering if there was anything she neglected to mention, but suddenly realized that during the call, she heard a girl’s voice, and that voice seemed somewhat familiar?

Bai Jiao couldn’t be bothered to analyze who that girl was and made a call to the counselor Gu to talk about the matter.

Normally, this would be the end of it, and she’d go about her business, but because Lin Baici was also going, Bai Jiao planned to have a look.

However, she needed to find someone to accompany her!

So Bai Jiao sent a message to Pei Fei.

…

In the security office, Hu Wenwu sat hunched over in a chair, completely dispirited.

As the anger faded, all he could think of now was regret and fear.

He was facing expulsion,

What should he do?

If his mother found out how disgraceful he was, she’d probably be so angry she’d poison herself, maybe even commit suicide.

Slap! Slap!

Hu Wenwu harshly slapped himself twice.

This is what you get for nosing into others’ business!

On the other side, a young foreigner was seated drinking tea, with a girl sitting beside him looking anxious, especially after seeing Hu Wenwu slap himself. She felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Maybe she shouldn’t have done it?

“Feeling soft-hearted?”

Suke Peters chuckled, leisurely sipping a cup of tea: “This world is like a jungle, where it’s survival of the fittest!”

Li Dongxia glanced at Suke Peters and then lowered her head again.

She was in turmoil.

Morality and conscience made her not want to harm that classmate, but the lucrative compensation made her reluctant to let it go.

Of course, Suke Peters didn’t call it compensation but rather a gift out of admiration for a beautiful lady.

“Have some tea!”

Suke pushed a cup of tea over.

“Thank you!”

Li Dongxia instinctively expressed her thanks.

The main reason was that this man from Victoria was overwhelmingly handsome.

Tall and sturdy, with flowing blonde hair and high, prominent features, he looked like a sculpture from Ancient Greece.

In the library, when Li Dongxia noticed Suke sneaking photos of her, she felt annoyed but also slightly smug.

See, such a handsome foreigner likes this princess.

This princess is not bad at all.

Ordinarily, if this happened to Li Dongxia, she would just walk away, definitely not dare to confront him.

But this time, the resentment she had built up yesterday made her walk up to confront this foreign youth.

Ultimately, it was Lin Baici’s fault.

Yesterday morning, Li Dongxia, who thought she was well-placed, didn’t even get a chance to add Lin Baici as a WeChat friend, being completely ignored. Later, she saw a prettier girl with a better figure get into Lin Baici’s Porsche at the school gate.

It drove a massive sense of failure into Li Dongxia.

Whenever she thought that she might never get to sit in a luxury car in her lifetime, her outlook on life turned gray.

Earlier at the library, she confronted Suke purely out of this grievance. Even then, she hadn’t thought of what to do following the confrontation.

Suke didn’t admit anything, intending to play around with her. But who could have predicted that sitting next to him, the foolish guy would stand up and directly claim he witnessed the whole incident and could testify?

Suke’s expression turned grim immediately, then he whispered something in Li Dongxia’s ear.

“All you have to say is that this guy is slandering me!”

“I’ll give you 100,000 British Pounds!”

Li Dongxia was familiar with the exchange rate of British Pounds to Chinese yuan; such an enormous sum nearly a million yuan made her silent.

Then she thought of Lin Baici’s Porsche, 1 million, which should be enough to buy one, so her heart wavered.

Suke didn’t wire the money but instead took off his Patek Philippe watch and handed it to Li Dongxia.

Li Dongxia instinctively retracted her hand, neither accepting it nor following Suke’s condition to say Hu Wenwu was slandering him. Instead, she simply stated that Hu Wenwu had mistaken it.

Suke provoked Hu Wenwu with a few words, and the already aggrieved Hu Wenwu couldn’t hold back and started a fight.

“Take it; my watch is a limited edition Patek Philippe. You wouldn’t earn back its value even if you worked hard for thirty years.”

Suke smiled brightly, appearing gentlemanly, but his actions were despicable: “As long as that guy gets expelled, I’ll give you another million!”

“British Pounds, of course!”

Money was nothing to Suke; he just wanted to see the ant who dared to accuse him and bark at him die.

His enjoyable journey of collecting beautiful moments was ruined by that guy’s interference.

“What if you back out?”

“Would you mind being my girlfriend for two or three days?”

Suke chuckled, “Of course, the money for being a girlfriend would be given separately!”

Li Dongxia looked uncomfortable, wanting to lash out.

Suke chuckled, unbothered by Li Dongxia’s anger, and as he continued talking, he flipped open his phone, showing her a photo.

Li Dongxia glanced at it, her anger gone, replaced by an embarrassed look.

In the photo, he was attending a banquet at Buckingham Palace, posing with the British King.
