Chapter 2142: Another Underhanded Trick

The reporter raised an eyebrow slightly and concluded, "Hitting it off with someone who harasses girls? That person isn't any good either."

"Heh, that one was always a playboy, have you forgotten?"

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I really would have forgotten. Sigh, he used to be the best on the racetrack, but after this accident... who knows if he'll ever stand up again."

When the reporter made this assessment, there was a hint of pity in their words.

The old professor, however, gave a cold laugh.

Then he said indifferently, "Perhaps, this is the cycle of heavenly justice."

These two walked forward as they spoke.

All sorts of disparaging remarks about Jiang Mobai drifted over from time to time.

Jiang Mobai was furious.

But compared to his anger, he was more worried about the current situation.

He had a premonition that something must have happened here while he was away!

Suddenly, Jiang Mobai's phone rang.

Fortunately, the old professor and the reporter had already walked far away.

Jiang Mobai was not exposed.

But the person calling... why was it Li Xingyan?

Jiang Mobai answered the phone suspiciously and asked, "Did you forget to bring something again?"

Li Xingyan did not answer his question, but instead commented, "You're in a pretty good mood."

"Um... I guess so."

"But I am in a very bad mood."

"What, did you have a fight with your sister-in-law?"

"No, I'm about to be annoyed to death by your stupidity!"

The disdain in Li Xingyan's words was plain to see.

Jiang Mobai, however, was completely confused.

He didn't understand how things had circled back to him.

Amidst his confusion, Li Xingyan frowned and questioned, "What's going on with that old professor who's being snide toward you?"

"Old professor... how do you know about this?"

"How could I not know? The internet is full of people talking about him, and by the way, they've also criticized you for being worthless!"

Li Xingyan got angry just thinking about it!

He had originally wanted to pick a movie to watch with Wei Yangyang.

As a result, notifications kept popping up on his phone.

Li Xingyan took a casual look...

And then he was in no mood for anything.

And at this moment, Jiang Mobai, who hadn't made a sound on the other end of the line...

Forced Li Xingyan to make an assumption: "You don't mean to tell me you still don't know?"

"Um... well, I just took a nap, so maybe I'm a bit out of the loop."

Jiang Mobai's words were very tactful.

But the meaning he wanted to express was very clear:

He really was in the dark!

This result made Li Xingyan's temples throb.

He was extremely dissatisfied with Jiang Mobai's performance.

He had his criticisms all prepared.

But thinking of Wei Yangyang still sitting beside him, looking at him with concern...

Li Xingyan suppressed the urge to curse.

Then he began to explain in a measured tone: "That old professor gave an interview; although he didn't name names, he was clearly accusing you and implying that our family would use our influence to force them to bow down."

This move by the old professor could be called brilliant.

It also put the Li Family in a very passive position.

Originally, with their strength, it would have been easy to suppress this matter.

But now, if they took action, it would confirm the old professor's words.

It would also easily damage the reputation of the Li Family.

In Li Xingyan's view, they had lost the initiative.

But this was something that shouldn't have happened!

Li Xingyan frowned and asked uncomprehendingly, "Why did you let things develop to this point without taking action?"

"I was just about to act! I've already obtained dirt on the old professor's work, and I was going to expose the recording of my conversation with him!"

"Then you're a step too late; he has already taken the initiative to admit his mistake, apologize to the students, and shake hands to make peace."

What?

How could this be!

He only took a short nap, how could so many things have happened??

Jiang Mobai was shocked beyond measure.

And his silence made Li Xingyan lose all confidence in him.

He said, "Let me handle this matter."

Jiang Mobai immediately refused: "No need! I don't believe it, I can't deal with that old scoundrel!"

"As it stands, you truly cannot deal with him."

"I, I was just caught off guard for a moment..."

"This isn't the first time you've clashed, is it? Could it be that you're caught off guard every single time?"

Li Xingyan's question made Jiang Mobai feel a bit guilty.

But he was unwilling to admit that he was a failure; he squeezed his wrist and said with murderous intent: "I just didn't expect a dignified professor could be so shameless! Since he is shameless, then I will be even more shameless than him!"

"Forget it, you have a bottom line, he does not."

Hmm...

Li Xingyan's words sounded like he was praising him.

And yet, it also sounded like he wasn't.

But one thing was clear to Jiang Mobai: Li Xingyan had no confidence in him.

This made Jiang Mobai droop his shoulders and ask unwillingly: "Can't you have a little confidence in me!?"

"This has nothing to do with having confidence or not. You've messed around enough; don't interfere with the rest, let me finish it."

"You... sigh, fine, tell me first what methods you can use."

"Naturally, it is..."

Jiang Mobai was listening carefully.

But out of the corner of his eye, he saw the old professor circling back.

Jiang Mobai did not want to expose himself, so he lowered his voice and said to the person on the other end of the phone: "Let's talk later, hanging up now!"

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Mobai hurriedly hid further into the corner.

At the same time, Xiao Qian walked over with a smile.

She said with a beaming face: "Grandpa, there is good news!"

"What good news?"

"Someone couldn't take it anymore and rushed into the Zhanlanguan to destroy Qingkong's work! It is said that Su Kexuan has already gone to the scene to handle it!"

This was indeed good news!

The old professor's eyes rolled, and he asked: "Only Su Kexuan went? What about Qingkong?"

"Not sure, he might not have gone."

"Regardless of whether he goes or not, this is a great opportunity to seize the moral high ground! Those few youngsters won't be able to make a comeback!"

After the old professor finished speaking, he hurriedly headed toward the Zhanlanguan with Xiao Qian.

As soon as they left, Jiang Mobai walked out from the corner.

The expression on his face was very cold.

His hand gripping the phone was tight.

His knuckles were turning white.

Just a moment ago, Li Xingyan had advised him not to interfere.

But in this current situation...

How could he not care!

That old scoundrel clearly had another sinister trick in mind!

And Jiang Mobai absolutely could not let his scheme succeed!

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Mobai called the bodyguards at home and demanded they must stop the old professor and his granddaughter.

As for Jiang Mobai himself...

He had to go to the scene to protect Su Kexuan!

Inside the Zhanlanguan—

On the pristine white walls hung photos of all sizes.

These photos had once been praised and admired by countless people.

But at this moment, there was an area where both the wall and the photos had been splashed with red paint.

It was truly shocking to the eye.

As for the culprit...

Before the incident, someone had sprayed something on the surveillance cameras.

This caused the footage to be completely blurred, making it impossible to see who had committed the bad deed.

By the time the Security Guard arrived, the place was already in a mess.

To catch the mastermind... it would likely take some effort.

At this moment, the visitors had already been cleared out of the Zhanlanguan.

The car sped away, leaving only a trail of exhaust in the air.
