Lu Xuan looked at the “epic-level” staged accident in front of him, and the pleasant feeling brought by Bai Yanxi in his heart was immediately diluted quite a bit.
As expected of the Belle of the Performing Arts Department, she's only a freshman, yet her acting skills are already comparable to veteran actors!
Lu Xuan scrolled through his phone screen and opened the hundreds of pages long PPT.
Goodness, he didn't know until he saw it, and when he saw it, he was shocked!
Inside, densely packed, were all sorts of online shopping platform accounts registered by Luo Xiaoran using different phone numbers—Taobao, JD.com, Pinduoduo, Xianyu, Vipshop… she had conquered all platforms!
A rough count of the phone numbers showed at least ten!
And the shopping accounts linked to these phone numbers were even more numerous, reaching dozens!
The PPT meticulously listed every glorious achievement: the orders she had exploited to the bone, those outrageous operations of only getting a refund without returning the goods—they were simply too numerous to record.
Even more incredible was that it also included screenshots of her “cordial and friendly” negotiations with various merchants, as well as chat records where she explicitly threatened merchants when “friendly negotiations” failed.
Between the lines, that arrogant and overbearing attitude was a complete contrast to her current pitiful appearance.
Not only that, this Belle was also a senior member of more than a dozen “Wool Gathering Exchange Groups” and “Refund Only Mutual Aid Groups,” and she even grandly published many “Wool Gathering Practical Tutorials” and “100% Successful Refund Cheat Sheets” in the groups!
Lu Xuan flipped through page after page, the hundreds of pages of PPT making his scalp tingle.
This Luo Xiaoran was truly “powerful” on the broad road of “wool gathering”!
This was no longer simply taking advantage of small benefits; this was practically scamming merchants to death!
Lu Xuan could even imagine how many small-business merchants were driven to distraction, or even ruin, by people like Luo Xiaoran!
At this moment, many Students had gathered on both sides of the shaded path to watch the commotion, each craning their necks, pointing and whispering.
“Hey, isn't that Luo Xiaoran from the Performing Arts Department? Why is she crying like this?”
“Who is that man next to her? He looks quite refined, could he have done something?”
“Look at Luo Xiaoran’s collar, it’s torn! Oh my god, she must have met a hooligan! This Student is too rampant!”
“Exactly, in broad daylight, he’s simply inhumane!”
Lu Xuan listened to the increasingly biased discussions around him, and although he remained outwardly calm, he secretly broke into a cold sweat.
If he didn't have the system, he probably wouldn’t be able to clear his name today, even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
One was a beautiful Belle from a wealthy family, the other an unknown, ordinary poor Student.
It was obvious who everyone would believe.
Why would a Belle stage an accident with a poor boy like him? Because he’s young? Because he doesn’t bathe?
Isn't there a saying online: “Looks are justice,” “You’re so pretty, everything you say is right!”
By then, he would undoubtedly be hung on the campus wall again, subjected to the spitting of all teachers and Students, with a new round of internet bullying, a luxurious upgraded package, waiting for him.
The more Lu Xuan thought about it, the more he felt lingering fear; he had clearly been careful, avoiding the big pit that was Zhang Yining, so how did he turn around and fall into the cesspit that was Luo Xiaoran?
Was he destined in this life to be pitted against such “slanderous talents”?
Was there a hidden internet bullying KPI waiting for him to complete?
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan felt he couldn't drag it out any longer.
Once such a matter fermented online, rumors would spread like wildfire, and even if he produced irrefutable evidence, he probably wouldn't be able to silence the gossip!
Lu Xuan’s gaze towards Luo Xiaoran instantly shifted from watching a show and enjoying the spectacle to bone-chilling coldness.
That look was like an ice-tempered knife, sharp and pressing.
Luo Xiaoran was immersed in her “tragic drama,” diligently squeezing out tears, preparing to accuse Lu Xuan of his “atrocities” a few more times, when she suddenly felt a chill envelop her.
She instinctively looked up, meeting Lu Xuan’s icy eyes.
That look was too familiar!
It was the look of a superior gazing down at an ant, carrying undeniable pressure and a hint of… impatient killing intent?
She had only vaguely felt such a look when her father was truly angry, or from his high-ranking colleagues!
How could it… how could it appear on an ordinary Student?
Luo Xiaoran’s delicate body trembled violently, her action of wiping tears froze in mid-air, and her sobbing stopped abruptly, like a duck whose neck had been squeezed.
Even the long-Brewing ed, ready-to-escalate wail was forcibly choked back.
The air seemed to solidify a bit.
Lu Xuan took a step, one step at a time, neither fast nor slow, walking towards Luo Xiaoran.
With each step he took, Luo Xiaoran’s heart sank a bit further.
“Student Luo Xiaoran,” Lu Xuan’s voice was not loud, but it carried an undeniable chill, “haven’t you had enough of your Oscar-level acting?”
He paused, a hint of sarcasm entering his tone: “That’s enough, know when to stop.”
“I don’t have that much time to waste with you here.” Lu Xuan’s patience had clearly run out, “I don’t know why you painstakingly tried to stage an accident with me, or rather, to falsely accuse me. But, none of that matters anymore.”
Saying that, Lu Xuan suddenly raised the phone in his hand, its screen directly facing Luo Xiaoran, clearly displaying a page from that PPT, showing one of her alternate accounts and a “glorious” “refund only” order record.
“Luo Xiaoran, look closely,” Lu Xuan stared intently at Luo Xiaoran, his eyes cold.
“What is this?”
“Don’t tell me you don’t know what this is.”
His gaze suddenly became sharp, “If you say one more word of nonsense right now, I will send this hundreds of pages long PPT, exactly as it is, to the entire internet! All major forums, the campus wall, every single one of them!”
“Don’t you like acting? Don’t you want to falsely accuse me?”
Lu Xuan’s lips curved into an icy arc, and he said, word by word: “Then let’s see, who dies first!”
