Chapter 1698: Chapter 737: I Let My Guard Down, Didn’t Dodge!

Besides the well-known brand logos like Chanel and Hermès, Li Dongxia didn’t recognize any other luxury brands. She couldn’t tell how much the young man’s clothes and shoes were worth, but she could sense that this person was wealthy, possibly even extremely wealthy!

Now, he took out a photo of himself with the English king at Buckingham Palace.

“Who’s to say you’re not a scammer?”

Li Dongxia was making a last-ditch effort.

Generally, pyramid scheme con artists would dress up impeccably and then flaunt all sorts of high-end photos in social circles.

Either a photo with some big shot or boasting about getting a Maserati.

“Hehe!”

Suke chuckled disdainfully and stopped talking, then started playing with his phone.

Even without this girl’s testimony, he could still leave unscathed. He was here at the security department just out of boredom, wanting to see that tanned monkey suffer, and to negotiate terms with this girl.

Suke’s silence and indifferent attitude made Li Dongxia somewhat regretful—she should have agreed earlier.

Just as Li Dongxia’s mind was in turmoil, there were two knocks on the door, followed by it being pushed open.

Creak!

The poorly oiled hinges screeched harshly.

Lin Baici stepped out, glancing around the room.

Hu Wenwu was huddled on a chair, like a cucumber that’s been frostbitten, looking utterly withered because he knew he was done for.

On the other side of the table, there was a couple.

The man was a foreigner, blond with blue eyes, tall and strong, quite handsome, and wearing branded attire, his appeal was indeed explosive.

“Hmm?”

Lin Baici saw the girl; it was the same one he had met yesterday morning, and he had even bought her a cup of milk tea.

“You know that girl?”

Ji Xinyan, observing keenly, noticed the change in Lin Baici’s expression, and the girl, upon seeing Lin Baici enter, also paused before lowering her head.

This was an instinctive reaction of guilt when caught by someone familiar.

“Met her once yesterday!”

Lin Baici was surprised; he didn’t expect such a pretty girl to falsely accuse someone.

“That foreigner is decked out in luxury. This matter today probably can’t be solved with money!”

Ji Xinyan whispered, feeling that the situation was rather tricky.

Giving a few thousand wouldn’t matter to him; offering over ten thousand feels unjust since it’s clearly not her fault.

And frankly, he could even donate hundreds of thousands to the school just to deal with Hu Wenwu.

A statement like ‘I admire your school’s discipline’ coupled with the power of donation could easily make the principal heavily punish a student.

“If you can get through to that girl, maybe you can persuade her!”

The key to resolving today’s matter depended on whom the girl would side with, but honestly, the other side had the upper hand.

For some people, a handsome, wealthy foreigner was just too overwhelming.

“What are you doing here?”

An older security guard, who was busy browsing his phone, noticed Lin Baici and Ji Xinyan walk in and asked.

He had worked at Haijing Polytechnic for many years and had seen plenty of students.

This young couple dressed sharply and carried themselves with confidence and composure, distinctly unlike the average university students.

Showing a bit of respect, nothing wrong with that.

“I’m his class monitor!”

Lin Baici explained.

“Oh, I’ve already notified your counselor!”

The security guard picked up his thermos, took a sip of tea, and said, “You can go now!”

“Is his issue serious?”

Ji Xinyan approached and pulled out a pack of Zhonghua from her bag, offering a cigarette to the security guard.

The security guard chuckled; now this was someone who understood.

He secretly wished this beautiful girl would light a cigarette for him, but he knew that was impossible.

If he dared to try, he might get fired within a week.

He could recognize the type of people he shouldn’t cross.

“Since a foreigner is involved, it’s a bit troublesome!”

The security guard accepted the cigarette and lit it himself.

Ji Xinyan’s cigarettes were bought on the way, and seeing him take one, she casually left the pack on the table.

‘Wow, quite generous!’

The security guard understood the gesture and discreetly pocketed the pack.

If he were too slow, others might take one, and he’d have regrets.

After all, these cigarettes were expensive!

Ji Xinyan watched the guard, waiting for him to continue.

It wasn’t that she couldn’t afford to give a whole carton, but in this situation, it was inappropriate; plus, a pack was sufficient to see if she could get some valuable information.

“That foreigner is relentless, and the girl’s testimony doesn’t favor your classmate, so at the least he’s looking at probation. If it escalates with media involvement, your classmate is definitely getting expelled!”

The guard took a drag on the cigarette: “You know how it is with the internet these days. Once it blows up, the school will have to consider the impact!”

“What if it’s not my classmate’s fault?”

Lin Baici frowned.

“Whether it’s his fault or not, he doesn’t have the final say!”

The security guard glanced at Lin Baici: “Let’s not even talk about whether that foreigner stole… whatever. Your classmate did lay hands on him!”

“Hasn’t even escalated to a fight yet, just look at the mess this has become.”

The security guard sighed: “I figure that foreigner isn’t an easy touch. Your classmate is nine times out of ten doomed unless he has some connections, best to start finding them now!”

Though he said that, the guard knew the boy was beyond saving.
