Wei Jing was dressed in a casual light-colored suit today. His handsome face was clean and neat, and he still had that aloof and indifferent look.

Qiao Yi opened his mouth, suppressing the jealousy burning in his heart.

He was already quite jealous of Wei Jing, feeling that the other party had an ordinary family background but was good-looking, had good grades, and even won the favor of the eldest daughter of the Xie family.

Why don't I have such good luck?

Seeing him in such a disheveled state only intensified his resentment.

Qiao Yi lowered his head, bypassed Wei Jing, and continued walking down the stairs. His pace quickened, and he practically tumbled and crawled down the stairs, disappearing around the corner.

Wei Jing glanced at the fleeing figure before continuing uphill.

The atmosphere in the restaurant hadn't completely dissipated.

Upon entering the second floor, amidst the elegant and tranquil vinyl jazz music, the soft hum of a robot vacuum cleaner could be heard.

The air was filled with the sweet aroma of some hot drink.

Several waiters were bowing their heads, changing the tablecloth at one of the seats.

Wei Jing subconsciously looked around, trying to find Xie Qingyang.

When his gaze swept over a table by the window, he was struck dumb, frozen in place.

Jiang Chu sat there.

Golden sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating her and highlighting her breathtakingly beautiful profile.

Wei Jing's hand, which was in his trouser pocket, clenched tightly.

How did she end up here?

This is Green Field, the most exclusive private golf club in Beijing, which operates on an extremely strict membership invitation system.

unless--

Oh right, I almost forgot this woman has a new sugar daddy.

Wei Jing gritted his teeth inwardly.

He looked at the man opposite Jiang Chu.

A middle-aged man with dark skin and a muscular build.

He was of average appearance and not particularly tall. He was wearing a dark jacket with no design sense and was slowly drinking tea.

Just like the elderly father who would appear at a parent-teacher meeting at an ordinary school.

Wei Jing: "..."

Looking at that ordinary face and that shabby attire, he had absolutely no resemblance to a big boss.

And he looks too old.

Wei Jing felt a surge of contempt.

He originally thought that the person who could snatch someone away from him must be a prominent figure in the capital.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Chu had stooped so low that he could even bring himself to kiss such an old, plain-looking, rough man!

He thought of the limited edition car from before and wondered if it was just a smokescreen.

Perhaps it was just borrowed to drive around?

How ridiculous that I actually took it seriously!

Wei Jing withdrew his gaze and walked towards Xie Qingyang, his tone somewhat casual:

"Qingyang, I ran into Qiao Yi on the stairs just now. His face was covered in blood. What happened?"

Xie Qingyang didn't speak immediately, but glanced at Jiang Chu without making a sound.

The restaurant manager was personally leading a team, nervously replacing the afternoon tea snacks and freshly squeezed juice at Jiang Chu's table with brand new, top-of-the-line afternoon tea.

"Wei Jing, you don't know, Qiao Yi just wanted to go over and say a few words, but that woman wouldn't give him any face, so Qiao Yi tried to throw a punch at her, and ended up getting beaten up by her bodyguard until his teeth were knocked out!"

One person, shaking his head as he spoke, said, "Qingyang, out of consideration for us all being alumni, went over and tried to persuade her to release the person. Guess what she said? She actually told me to get your dad over here..."

Wei Jing was shocked.

He also disliked Qiao Yi, a spoiled brat who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun all day long.

but--

Knock out teeth?

How dare you say such a thing to Xie Qingyang?

Does Jiang Chu have a death wish?

Wei Jing looked at Xie Qingyang and found that the other party's expression was very unpleasant.

He quickly considered the matter and felt it necessary to express his opinion, at least to support Xie Qingyang.

"Jiang Chu—"

Before Wei Jing could even sit down, he turned to look at the person a short distance away upon hearing this, "What happened to you?"

His face darkened. "This kind of behavior, which resorts to violence at the drop of a hat, is, at best, a lack of manners; at worst, it's an abuse of vigilante justice."

As Wei Jing spoke, he observed Xie Qingyang's performance and noticed that the latter seemed to have calmed down a bit, which gave him more confidence.

"This is a society governed by the rule of law, and any conflict should be resolved through laws and regulations."

Wei Jing coldly replied, "How is your behavior—trampling on others' dignity and personal safety at will just because you have someone backing you up—any different from the thugs and hooligans of the old society?"

"A top student is a top student; he can come up with all sorts of concocted charges." Jiang Chu put down her cup. "If you have a problem with that, then call the police. I'll definitely cooperate with the investigation."

Wei Jing was taken aback.

He frowned. "You think I wouldn't dare?"

"Go ahead and call the police," Jiang Chu said sneered. "Call the police right now!"

Wei Jing stared at her in disbelief, then pulled out his phone. "I—"

"alright!"

Xie Qingyang suddenly spoke up.

Wei Jing was shocked and quickly turned around, only to find that Xie Qingyang's face was very dark.

not good.

He immediately realized that he might have unknowingly stepped into Xie Qingyang's minefield.

— Xie Qingyang did not want to call the police.

Although he didn't know the deeper reasons, he was clearly wrong about what he said at the end.

Wei Jing was immediately filled with remorse.

He didn't care about Qiao Yi's life or death at all. The reason he stood up was purely to show Xie Qingyang his sense of responsibility and integrity.

And to make it clear that he was severing all ties with Jiang Chu.

Unexpectedly, it seems to have backfired.

"Sister Jiang Chu," Xie Qingyang gritted his teeth, "the reason I don't agree with calling the police is for your own good. You were originally the victim, but you ended up having him injured. If the police come today, your people will also be held responsible."

Jiang Chu rolled her eyes at them. "Right, if the investigation finds out you're the real culprit, you'll have to take responsibility too."

Wei Jing frowned immediately. "Qingyang is looking out for you, and you not only don't appreciate it, but you also have to say things like that?"

At this point, he glanced at Lao Liang with some disgust, his contempt almost overflowing.

"...Relying on forces that don't belong to you, you're bullying others here. But let me tell you, external forces are ultimately just external forces; the glory gained by selling yourself out is all empty. A person should act uprightly and honestly—"

"Really?" Jiang Chu smiled. "Then can you swear a solemn oath that you will never date or marry someone richer or more powerful than yourself, or your whole family will die a violent death?"

Wei Jing: "?"

Wei Jing was absolutely furious with her.

Wei Jing gritted his teeth, "I'm not like you. If I'm going to confide in someone, it's because I admire their character and abilities, not just their power or influence!"

He straightened his back and declared, "I will not curry favor with the powerful, much less do anything that violates principles or morality!"

"Wei Jing".

An unfamiliar voice came from the restaurant entrance, interrupting him.

All eyes turned to the doorway.

There were three people standing at the restaurant entrance.

Leading the way was a middle-aged man dressed in casual clothes with a serious expression.

He had a black ID card holder clipped to his waist.

A middle-aged man walked in. "I'm from the Cyber ​​Security Brigade of the Dongyang Branch of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. These two are police officers from the Heping Street Police Station."

He handed a document to Wei Jing.

"Wei Jing, you are suspected of a major criminal case involving illegal intrusion into the national computer information system. This is a summons; please come with us to assist in the investigation."
