Chapter 60: Leng Wanqiu

After ending the call.

Song Mo went to the Lianwuchang as usual and practiced Combat for a while.

He quickly washed up.

He played a Piano piece before going to sleep.

"Sister Wanrou, get some rest early."

"Mm-hmm, little brother. You rest well too."

Song Mo returned to his room and saw a new file in his email inbox.

It was anonymous, yet not truly anonymous.

Because the sender's nickname was "Song Mo, the people around you have betrayed you."

Song Mo was startled.

The word "betrayal" instinctively made him frown.

A bad premonition rose in Song Mo's heart.

He hesitated for a moment, then extended his finger and opened the file.

A video appeared before his eyes.

Song Mo's gaze instantly turned sharp!

Because at the very start of the video, he saw Chen Xi… and Song Wanrou, who had just wished him goodnight!

All the events of his past life, which he thought he had forgotten, now resurfaced vividly before him.

Watching the cheerful Song Wanrou and Chen Xi in the video, Song Mo knew his initial suspicion had been correct.

Why was Song Wanrou different from her past-life self?

She wasn't different.

She had simply not yet met Chen Xi.

Song Mo had expected to feel anger.

But he was strangely calm—calm as a still, unrippled well, as a mountain unmoved by wind and rain.

At the end of the video, he saw Leng Wanqiu's contact information, along with her apology and request to join forces in punishing Song Wanrou and Chen Xi.

Watching the end of the video, Leng Wanqiu's contact information, as well as her apology and the request to join forces to punish Song Wanrou and Chen Xi.

Then he shut off the screen.

He went to sleep as usual.

…

Leng Family Villa.

Leng Wanqiu had been waiting for Song Mo's reply, but two hours had passed since she sent the message.

Song Mo had accepted the video a half-hour ago.

So why had he not responded?

Was it because he didn't care about Song Wanrou? Or Chen Xi? Or did he harbor resentment toward her, always wary?

Was it because he didn't care about Song Wanrou, or because he didn't care about Chen Xi? Or did he harbor a grudge against himself and always keep his guard up?

She lay awake all night, and at ten o'clock the next morning, she finally couldn't hold back and contacted Song Mo.

Song Mo's phone number was in her contacts.

Leng Wanqiu clenched her teeth and dialed Song Mo's number directly.

The first call didn't connect.

The second call, after a long wait, finally went through.

The call connected, and Song Mo's side fell silent.

Like a suppressed sea.

Leng Wanqiu felt a surge of joy—she sensed his emotions must be raging, that he was furious.

Leng Wanqiu softened her voice.

"Song Mo, I know you're angry right now, and I feel just as wronged—for both of us."

"First, I apologize for my past actions against you. I hope you can forgive a usually shrewd woman for a moment of foolishness."

"I will compensate you for my mistakes, or my guilt will never fade—and I hope you'll give me this chance."

"Lastly, I hope we can join forces to punish those who have been disloyal."

Song Mo listened to Leng Wanqiu's long speech.

His heart remained utterly calm.

He still didn't know the truth behind Song Wanrou and Chen Xi, but his expectations had already sunk to zero.

As for the matter of Song Wanrou and Chen Xi, he still didn't know the truth for now, but in his heart he had already lowered his expectations infinitely.

It didn't matter.

Since his rebirth, Song Mo's only goal had been to develop himself.

With the system's help, he would rise to the pinnacle of the world, protect himself from harm, and face all injustice and betrayal with cold disdain.

"Leng Wanqiu, I don't know what hidden motives you have, but my stance has always been clear."

"I have no interest in cooperating with you, and I don't wish to interact with you any further."

"Since you know you were wrong before, stop bothering me."

"As for Chen Xi—that's your business."

With that, Song Mo hung up the call.

After saying that, Song Mo hung up the phone directly.

Song Mo's mind remained always clear.

He would not be led by Leng Wanqiu.

Even if Song Wanrou and Chen Xi were entangled together, what of it?

This would not affect Song Mo in the slightest.

But Song Mo could not help reflecting: was he too kind? Whenever someone treated him well, he quickly forgot the harm they had done him.

Just like when Song Wanrou died to prove her loyalty—he had forgiven her so easily.

Song Mo fell into deep thought.

Perhaps, he should be more focused.

Especially toward the disgusting women from his past life, the "flies" clustering around Chen Xi's pile of shit, he should remain cold.

Song Mo called Xia Yu.

"Xia Yu, I'm teaching piano at the Music College today at three p. m. Do you have time?"

"I have time."

Xia Yu agreed readily.

Song Mo immediately began preparing for his first lesson.

……

After Song Mo hung up the phone.

Leng Wanqiu, on the other hand, wore a frown.

"That doesn't make sense?"

"Didn't Song Mo care deeply for his sister Song Wanrou? Last time I saw them together, their bond seemed extremely close!"

"Could it be because of me?"

Leng Wanqiu could not fathom it.

In the end, she could only assume it was her own fault.

Because of the earlier misunderstanding and the prejudice carried over from his past life, perhaps Song Mo simply did not believe her words?

"I must take action, present evidence, to show Song Mo my complete sincerity and determination, and prove to him that I speak the truth."

Leng Wanqiu had a gut feeling.

She would soon obtain evidence of Chen Xi and Song Wanrou's full collusion.

Because she understood Chen Xi.

Chen Xi was the type who could not bear to wait.

When he wanted to do something, he acted hastily, without careful planning.

He had petty cleverness, but no grand vision.

Leng Wanqiu therefore contacted a private detective and ordered him to closely monitor Chen Xi's movements.

In fact, she didn't need to remind him.

Money was the best source of motivation.

The private detective even brought in an assistant; the two took turns, ensuring twenty-four-hour surveillance of every move Chen Xi made.

Chen Xi did not know that during his outings, his apartment had been fitted with numerous pinhole cameras.

He lay on his bed, full of delight.

Holding his phone.

Chatting "hotly" with Song Wanrou.

Perhaps because of his unique "puppy dog" persona, plus the added credibility of being Song Mo's good friend, Song Wanrou seemed to trust him especially.

He had arranged to meet her at a bar in three days.

The meeting was Chen Xi's idea, but the bar was chosen by Song Wanrou.

This surprised Chen Xi.

But he did not think much of it.

……

Three p. m.

Song Mo arrived at Modu University Music Academy.

Among the piano teachers.

Many students looked on eagerly, waiting for the newly arrived Piano Professor.

It was said this professor was a Master with considerable reputation internationally.

He was also a disciple of renowned masters, extremely formidable.

So who exactly would it be?

The students' hearts brimmed with curiosity…
