After Lawyer An left, Tang Bingyun and Wang Haoran got down to business.

“Why did you come to see me specifically? What’s the matter?”

“Let me show you something first,” Wang Haoran said, taking out some photos he had prepared in advance.

These photos were close-ups of Fan Jian, Fan Tong, and Qin Shousheng with bruised and swollen faces after being beaten.

“Who are they? How did they get beaten up so badly?” Tang Bingyun was shocked to see the pig-headed faces in the photos.

“They are my classmates, and they were beaten up like this by Chu Bai.”

“Is it that short-haired kid from today?”

“Yes, that kid has a serious violent tendency!”

Tang Bingyun agreed wholeheartedly. Earlier, when that little thief was tied up by security and had no ability to resist, Chu Bai still rushed over to beat him up. An ordinary person wouldn’t do such a thing.

“He beat people up like this, and the school didn’t expel him?”

“They just compensated with thirty thousand yuan.”

“Beating people up like this and only compensating thirty thousand yuan? That’s too lenient,” Tang Bingyun shook her head, then quickly realized, “The principal protected him?”

Wang Haoran nodded and got straight to the point, “I came to you to use your authority as a board member to transfer the principal to another position. Without his protection, Chu Bai won’t be so arrogant in the future.”

“Okay,” Tang Bingyun agreed without hesitation. The principal was old and didn’t manage much of the affairs at Shuizhe High School. Transferring him to another position wouldn’t affect Shuizhe High School much. Moreover, since Wang Haoran had asked, how could she refuse? Besides, she also felt that the Old Principal was indeed too biased towards Chu Bai, which was unfair.

“I’ll transfer the money for the jade to you soon,” Tang Bingyun asked Wang Haoran for his account number.

“I’m not in a hurry for that.”

Wang Haoran checked the time, “Aunt Tang! Goodbye, let’s keep in touch.”

Hearing this title again, Tang Bingyun’s pretty face twitched, but she didn’t know what to say, so she could only watch Wang Haoran leave in his Cullinan.

She stood there in a daze for a while until her phone rang, waking her up. It was a call from Zhen Li.

“Bingyun, how did the talk with my son go?”

“I agreed to his request.”

“Thank you, I’ll treat you to a spa session at the beauty salon sometime,” Zhen Li thought Tang Bingyun agreed because of her.

“Sure!” Tang Bingyun agreed immediately, and impulsively said, “Sister Zhen Li, you’re actually in the same generation as my parents, so I should call you Aunt Zhen. I’ll call you Aunt Zhen from now on.”

Zhen Li had a bad temper, and upon hearing this, she was immediately displeased, “Tang Bingyun, what do you mean? Did I offend you somehow? Are you trying to say I’m old? Don’t think that just because you helped my son, I have to cater to you. I’ll repay this favor. Anyway, our families have business cooperation, I’ll give you a ten million discount, and we’ll call it even!”

“Sister Zhen Li, I was just joking, I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” Tang Bingyun quickly apologized. After chatting for a while longer, she finally calmed Zhen Li down.

After hanging up, Tang Bingyun couldn’t help but sigh. It seems that addressing people by their generation is really tricky.

…

On the way to school, Wang Haoran was bored and opened his attribute panel to take a look.

[Host: Wang Haoran]

[Combat Power: 289]

[Charm: 268]

[Villain Aura: 319]

[Villain Points: 1700]

[Skills: Master-level Calligraphy and Painting, Master-level Practical Wing Chun, God-Level Singing Skill, Actor-Level Acting, X-ray Vision]

1700 villain points already? Wang Haoran entered the system shop and found the Low-Grade Youth Retaining Pill.

[Low-Grade Youth Retaining Pill 1100 Villain Points (Note: Freezes age, effect lasts for thirty years.) Redeem?]

“Yes!” Wang Haoran instructed the system.

After redeeming, Wang Haoran eagerly consumed the Low-Grade Youth Retaining Pill. The pill had a sweet taste. After consuming it, Wang Haoran didn’t feel any obvious changes in his body. According to the description of the Low-Grade Youth Retaining Pill, the effect would only be noticeable over time. Wang Haoran was now 18 years old, and when he reached 48, he would still look like an 18-year-old. After 48, he would start aging slowly, but the starting point of aging would be from 18. In other words, Wang Haoran would have 30 more years of youth than a normal person.

With 700 villain points left, he could still try his luck with a draw. Last time, he got the same X-ray Vision as Chu Bai, who knows what he might get this time? Wang Haoran was filled with anticipation.

[Unfortunately, the host did not win any rewards.]

Damn!

…

During evening self-study, Wang Haoran opened his desk and found a cup of milk tea inside. It was most likely from Xu Muyan. Wang Haoran took a sip. Sweet. Really sweet. Eating too many sweets can easily lead to weight gain. However, Wang Haoran didn’t need to worry at all. The Youth Retaining Pill not only maintained his looks but also his figure.

While drinking the milk tea, Wang Haoran inadvertently glanced in Xu Muyan’s direction. He could only see Xu Muyan’s side profile, but it was clear that she seemed a bit distracted, not really focused on her studies.

During the break, Wang Haoran sent a message to Wen Jing, asking her to come out for a talk.

In the campus flower path, some students were strolling, some were classmates, and some were couples in love. The lighting here was dim, the environment serene, and the air was filled with the scent of flowers. It was particularly romantic. Those couples in love loved to come here after evening self-study.

Wen Jing was delighted to be called out by Wang Haoran.

“Xu Muyan seems unhappy, what’s wrong with her?” Wang Haoran asked.

Wen Jing felt a bit disappointed; she thought Wang Haoran had called her out for a date. It turned out she was overthinking.

“She ran into her dad while buying milk tea outside in the evening. Her dad told her to stay away from you, and Yanyan felt it was inexplicable, so they argued a bit.”

As Xu Muyan’s best friend and desk mate, Xu Muyan shared everything with Wen Jing.

“I’ve never met her dad, but he seems to be quite against me.”

“Maybe her dad doesn’t want Yanyan to date, so he’s doing this.”

“No,” Wang Haoran directly denied the conclusion. Last time, Chu Bai wanted to bet with Xu Muyan that if he got into the top ten, Xu Muyan would be his girlfriend. Xu Muyan’s father even agreed on her behalf. This shows that Xu Muyan’s father is likely an open-minded person who wouldn’t interfere much in his daughter’s dating matters. Favoring Chu Bai and targeting me? Could Xu Muyan’s father also be a supporting character in the protagonist’s camp? Wang Haoran thought this was highly possible.

“Are you… are you interested in pursuing Yanyan?” Wen Jing couldn’t help but ask.

“Yes,” Wang Haoran nodded. Xu Muyan is one of the female leads. If I don’t pursue her, the protagonist will. If the protagonist succeeds, his protagonist aura will increase, and my villain aura will decrease. At that point, I’ll be close to meeting my end.

Hearing Wang Haoran’s words, Wen Jing felt a bit sour. She had actually noticed it earlier, but she didn’t expect Wang Haoran to admit it so straightforwardly.
