Chapter 22: Outrageous

“You’re saying what exactly? Are you trying to excuse yourself? Do you really think any girl would forgive you?” 

Kaixin Min’s face was full of suspicion, as if she were looking at a clown.  

“Have you noticed that all the girls in the Disciplinary Committee are pretty? Why aren’t there any ugly, short, fat, or cowardly girls? Isn’t it true that joining the Disciplinary Committee depends more on looks than ability? And if it’s all about looks, then why does the Student Council want these beautiful girls?” 

Li Zuhao kept explaining.  

“…………” 

Kaixin Min was stunned by his ridiculous words.  

Though it all sounded like nonsense, there was a hint of logic in it.  

“Hmph, I almost believed your trash talk. You’re just trying to stall for time, so the Student Council will hold a grudge against me. You’re out for revenge,” Kaixin Min snorted coldly, leaving Li Zuhao behind as she continued toward the Student Council.  

“If I wanted to get back at you, I would’ve done it yesterday,” Li Zuhao followed her relentlessly, buzzing like a fly.  

“Get lost! Don’t follow me.” 

Kaixin Min snapped angrily.  

“Don’t drink any of the drinks they give you once you’re inside. That’s their most effective method,” Li Zuhao warned.  

As they walked, the hallway became more crowded with students.  

“Don’t stick so close to me.” 

Kaixin Min shyly elbowed Li Zuhao away. 

Being seen walking with a scumbag like him was the ultimate disgrace.  

“Ugh~” 

Li Zuhao yelped as he was pushed, barely able to steady himself against the wall, falling behind.  

Kaixin Min took a few steps, glanced back, and couldn’t help but feel a little pained.  

But she quickly shook her head and pushed the feeling away.  

She could sympathize with anyone, just not a scumbag like him.  

Why would she pity him? 

Who would pity her?  

Though the delinquent bad girl Kaixin Min looked formidable, it was all a facade.  

The delinquent act was just a shell of protection—without it, she was the one who’d get bullied.  

If she really had power, influence, and money, Li Zuhao wouldn’t have dared grope her before, and Lei President wouldn’t treat her like a dog to bark orders.  

After shaking off Li Zuhao, Kaixin Min soon arrived at the Second Floor where the High School Division Student Council was located.  

The Student Council controlled the entire Second Floor of the academic building.  

Every classroom and club room belonged to the Student Council, and no outsiders were allowed in.  

At the stairwell, Student Council members were always waiting to escort you inside, and you had to be led by them; otherwise, you couldn’t get in.  

Previously, Li Zuhao was only able to meet Vice President Hao Tianhui because he was led in this way.  

Before long, Kaixin Min was led to a luxurious office.  

The decor looked like something out of an idol drama’s CEO office—flashy but impractical. 

Everything was brand new, as if just placed for show.  

“Student Kaixin Min, you’ve arrived. Please have a seat while I finish some work.”  

Lei President was busy signing some documents, putting on an act.  

The escorting Student Council member obediently left, locking the door behind them and standing guard outside the President’s Office.  

But Kaixin Min, who had just sat down, was unaware of these details and hadn’t sensed anything was off.  

Not even half a minute after sitting, Lei President finished his so-called work.  

He slowly stood up, poured a glass of water, and casually placed it in front of Kaixin Min, speaking softly, “Thank you for your hard work, Student Kaixin Min. Have some water.”  

Kaixin Min’s eyes widened as she looked at the glass.  

She remembered what Li Zuhao had just told her.  

Never drink any drinks handed to you by a man!  

“What’s wrong?” 

Lei President sat down opposite her, still with a gentle expression that showed no cracks.  

“Thank you for your kindness, President, but I’m not thirsty. Where is the Disciplinary Committee Chairman? Weren’t we supposed to discuss something?” 

Kaixin Min refused the water politely but firmly.  

Regardless of whether the water was tainted, her attitude left no room for coercion.  

“You can’t force me to drink.”  

“Ah, the Chairman just got an urgent assignment and had to leave. She won’t be back anytime soon,” Lei President explained.  

“In that case, I’ll take my leave for now. I don’t want to disturb your work,” Kaixin Min said decisively as she stood, ready to leave.  

“No, no, the Chairman’s task should be over soon. Please wait here a moment.” 

Lei President quickly backtracked, sounding a bit anxious.  

“Alright,” Kaixin Min said, though confused, and reluctantly sat back down.  

She really had no good reason to leave right now.  

Besides, as long as she refused to drink the water, she was fine.  

What could he possibly do to her?  

“Click!”  

Suddenly, a crisp sound.  

Lei President pulled out an obviously expensive Gold Lighter, lit a coil of Sandalwood Incense, and placed it into the Incense Burner.  

Immediately, a faint, delicate fragrance filled the President’s Office.  

“!?” 

Kaixin Min was shocked.  

But it was too late—she had already inhaled several breaths of the incense, and her head began to spin.  

Within seconds, she grew drowsy and slumped sideways onto the sofa.  

Seeing her collapse, Lei President quickly pinched out the incense and rushed to open the window for ventilation.  

“Phew~ Why is this girl’s vigilance so strong?”  

He stuck his head out the window, took a deep breath of fresh air, and sighed.  

But after the sigh, his smile turned arrogant and wild.  

He immediately thought of dozens of ways to deal with this proud, delinquent bad girl.  

His targets were always girls with strong self-esteem—those without dignity held no interest to him.  

Just as Lei President was about to pull his head back inside…  

Suddenly, a hand shot through the window, grabbing his tie.  

“Ah? Who’s there!?” 

Lei President panicked.  

The figure outside didn’t answer and with one hand dragged the off-balance Lei President out the window.  

“Ah!” 

Lei President screamed as he fell.  

Luckily, it was only the Second Floor, and below was a grass field.  

He landed in the grass, no life-threatening injuries, but he fainted from the fall.  

The person behind this bold move was none other than Li Zuhao.  

He had been lurking outside the Second Floor for some time.  

With his knowledge of these playboy tactics and tricks, coming early to stake out had paid off.  

Li Zuhao flipped inside the President’s Office, but after clinging to the wall for a while, the wound on his right hand reopened, bleeding and staining the bandages.  

Thankfully, his mother’s stitching skills were excellent—it was just a fresh bleed, nothing serious.  

Li Zuhao hurried over to the sofa and found the unconscious Kaixin Min.  

“Slap! Slap!”  

He gave Kaixin Min two firm slaps, one with each hand.  

Though not too hard, it wasn’t gentle either, but Kaixin Min showed no sign of waking up.
