Chapter 29 Teacher, get out of class is over.

The door to the private room clicked shut.

The door panel blocked out Li Haotian's departing figure, and also acted like a switch, allowing the stagnant air in the private room to flow again.

Zhou Kai was still standing there, drops of expensive Burgundy red wine dripping from his silver-gray hair onto the expensive carpet, spreading a small patch of dark red.

His face was burning, not from the alcohol, but from the word "sucker".

He turned around, his facial muscles contorted with anger and humiliation.

He pointed to the tightly closed door, his voice trembling.

"What...what did he just call me?"

The bodyguard, whose arms were still hanging limply, kept his head down and dared not speak.

The only sound in the air was Chen Xue's suppressed, soft sobs.

"Cry, cry, cry! All you do is cry!" Zhou Kai's anger instantly found an outlet. He roared at Chen Xue, "What kind of ex-boyfriend did you find? A lunatic!"

He kicked the chair next to him, and the chair overturned and made a loud noise.

"And you two pieces of trash!" Zhou Kai turned to the two bodyguards. "Two people, crippled by a pair of chopsticks? Did my dad hire you to be door gods?"

Chen Xue trembled as he yelled at her, and her crying grew louder.

She wasn't sad, she was terrified.

Looking at the handwriting analysis report on the table, she felt her world collapsing.

Li Haotian has really changed. He's not just bluffing her; he really wants to ruin her.

Zhou Kai was still pacing back and forth in a rage, cursing incessantly.

He picked up his phone, seemingly wanting to call for backup.

"Haotian!"

Just then, Chen Xue suddenly let out a piercing scream.

She acted like a madwoman, leaping off the chair, losing one of her high heels in the process, and running barefoot towards the door without a care in the world.

"Haotian! Don't go!"

She lunged at the door, frantically pounding on it with both hands.

"I was wrong! I was really wrong! Haotian, open the door!"

Zhou Kai and his two bodyguards were dumbfounded.

The little white flower that was so pitiful just a moment ago now looks like a madwoman.

The door remained closed.

Chen Xue slid to the ground in despair, leaning against the cold door panel, her delicate makeup ruined by tears.

She looked up at Zhou Kai, who was equally shocked, in the room, and the last shred of reason in her eyes seemed to have been severed.

"Please...Young Master Kai, please help me...stop him..." she pleaded incoherently, "He'll kill me, he really will kill me..."

"Huh?" Zhou Kai was amused by her expression. "Help you? Why the hell should I help you? Didn't you see him just wash my hair with alcohol? And you want me to stop him?"

Zhou Kai pointed to his head, then pointed to Chen Xue.

"Chen Xue, have you lost your mind? He treated you like this, and you still..."

"You don't understand!" Chen Xue screamed, interrupting him. "You don't understand! That document is real! I'll go to jail! I'll be destroyed!"

She scrambled to Zhou Kai's feet and grabbed his trouser leg.

"Young Master Kai, didn't you say your family is rich and powerful? Help me! If you help me get through this difficult time, I'll do whatever you say, and I'll follow you for life!"

Looking at the disheveled, tearful woman at his feet, the anger in Zhou Kai's eyes slowly turned into disgust and contempt.

He kicked Chen Xue's hand away.

"Get away! Don't touch me!"

Just then.

A soft "beep" sounded.

Inside the private room, on one side of the wall, the expensive oil painting that had been hanging there slowly rose up, revealing a huge projection screen hidden behind it.

Immediately afterwards, a beam of light shot out from the corner of the ceiling.

Everyone was stunned.

Li Haotian didn't leave.

He had returned sometime earlier and was leaning against the shadows by the door, holding a small black remote control in his hand.

He pressed play.

A familiar chat interface popped up on the projection screen.

WeChat.

One of her profile pictures is a cartoon dragon, and the other is a selfie of Chen Xue.

The nicknames were "Brother Long" and "Xiaoxue".

Zhou Kai's pupils contracted instantly.

[Xiaoxue: Brother Long, with his crippled state, he definitely won't last much longer. The pressure from the betting agreement is so immense, and he has no one to rely on. He's doomed.]

[Brother Long: Hehe, doesn't he still have you, his 'affectionate' girlfriend, with him?]

[Xiaoxue: Acting? I'm the best at it. Once he signs that asset transfer agreement and drains his team's coffers, I'll leave immediately. We'll split the money fifty-fifty.]

[Brother Long: Little devil, you're quite sensible. Don't worry, I've already sent someone to 'encourage' him. That 20 million debt is just the last straw that breaks the camel's back.]

The chat history scrolled up one message at a time.

Every word was like a hammer blow to Zhou Kai's heart.

His face went from flushed red to ashen, and finally turned deathly pale.

Chen Xue collapsed to the ground, staring at the words on the screen. She felt as if her soul had been ripped out, unable to even scream.

She felt dizzy and her whole body was ice cold.

Then, she saw the last few.

Those are recent chat logs.

[Xiaoxue: Brother Long, there's some rich guy pursuing me lately. He's number one on the live streaming platform, a total idiot with lots of money, and I think his family owns a mine.]

[Brother Long: Oh? Then you'd better hurry and squeeze some money out of him first.]

[Xiaoxue: Okay. This rich guy is just a walking ATM. I'll dump him once I've squeezed him dry. Brother Long, you're the best, unlike him, all looks and no substance.]

"ATM..."

Zhou Kai uttered these three words softly.

His voice was very soft and ethereal, as if it didn't belong to him.

He slowly, inch by inch, turned his head to look at the woman on the ground, whose face had turned deathly pale.

When Chen Xue met his gaze, her body trembled violently, and she instinctively shrank back.

"No...no...Young Master Kai...please let me explain..."

Zhou Kai did not listen.

His face was expressionless, and his eyes were terrifyingly empty.

He raised his hand.

“Pah!”

A crisp, loud slap echoed in the quiet private room.

Chen Xue's head was violently slapped to the side by the enormous force, and she fell to the ground. Her left cheek swelled up at a visible speed, and a bright red five-finger mark was clearly visible.

"You bitch."

Zhou Kai squeezed out two words through gritted teeth.

He didn't even glance at Chen Xue on the ground again, as if looking at her even once more would be too dirty.

He turned around abruptly and strode towards the door.

As he passed Li Haotian, he paused for a moment, glanced at the instigator with a complicated expression, moved his lips but ultimately said nothing, and left without looking back with his two equally shocked bodyguards.

The door was not closed.

The wind blew in from the corridor, making the tablecloth flutter.

Inside the private room, only Li Haotian and Chen Xue, who was lying motionless on the floor, remained.

A messy "thank-you banquet" for teachers.

A shattered dream.

Li Haotian turned off the projector and slowly walked to Chen Xue's side.

He crouched down, meeting her gaze directly into her empty, desperate eyes.

"Teacher, how are you feeling?"

His voice was very soft, like a lover's whisper.

Chen Xue didn't react, like a broken doll.

Li Haotian didn't care.

He leaned close to her ear, his voice even lower, carrying a cold smile.
