Chapter 16

Wang Haoran picked up his phone and showed Xia Xinyan some photos.

They depicted scenes of Lin Ming fighting, Lin Ming associating with gangsters, and Lin Ming flirting with a club lady. Judging by Lin Ming's unkempt hair in the photos, these events occurred after he "changed his mind."

Seeing these photos, Xia Xinyan looked a little shaken.

Xia Xinyan used to think that people should learn to be tolerant, but after seeing the photos, she couldn't help but feel repulsed and disgusted.

Sure enough, what one hears in words and what one sees with their own eyes can evoke very different feelings.

Moreover, because of the angle of the photos, Lin Ming's wretchedness and greasiness were clearly displayed.

Wang Haoran continued to press his point. "If Miss Xia doubts the authenticity of these photos, you can ask your father to verify them. Given his profession, he should easily be able to tell whether the photos have been tampered with."

"Or does Miss Xia think that your father has been bribed by me?"

"Of course not!" Xia Xinyan replied instantly.

But Wang Haoran then added Xia Xinyan's Fetion message and sent a few photos.

Seeing that the matter was almost settled, Wang Haoran was about to get up and leave when he received a message.

After reading the news, Wang Haoran smiled.

"Miss Xia, what is said is that hearing is false and seeing is believing. Do you want to see what the real Lin Ming is like?"

"What do you mean?"

"You will know if you come with me. With Yunshuang here, you don't have to worry that I will have bad intentions!"

"That's right, let's go and see it together!" Although Liu Yunshuang didn't understand what Wang Haoran meant, she nodded in agreement.

Even in the past, Liu Yunshuang felt that Wang Haoran was petty and possessive, but she also knew that he would never do anything to hurt her.

Xia Xinyan hesitated for a moment but eventually agreed.

After leaving the cafe, Wang Haoran instructed the driver to head to a specific address, then sat in the back seat with Liu Yunshuang.

Xia Xinyan drove her own car and followed behind.

The two cars soon arrived at an open-air food stall in the old neighborhood.

At the food stall near the road, Lin Ming was eating and drinking with three gangsters.

Although Liu Yunshuang and Xia Xinyan could not remember the faces of the gangsters who had teased them, judging by their eye-catching red, green, and yellow features, as well as their thin, medium, and fat builds, they could easily identify them from high school.

They observed the gangsters getting drunk while complaining to Lin Ming.

"Brother Ming, Master Tiger is gone, and so is the Fierce Tiger Gang!"

"Our brothers have no place to go, so we have no choice but to come to you, Brother Ming!"

"You must accept us!"

"Haha, no problem, no problem!" Lin Ming agreed while enjoying his meal.

In the past, these gangsters had shown great respect for him because of Mr. Tiger. Now that Mr. Tiger had fallen, one might think the gangsters would turn their backs on him, but they hadn't.

They came to him seeking refuge, eager to win his favor.

After taking another couple of sips of wine, the thin, tall gangster continued to "show his loyalty."

"Brother Ming, don't worry, our brothers will do whatever you say from now on!"

"Like before, pretending to tease the school beauty, flirting with the beautiful teacher, etc.!"

"With us here, Brother Ming, you will definitely be able to successfully pick up those two top girls!"

After hearing these words, Lin Ming felt baffled.

However, before he could think about it, the green gangster continued to praise Lin Ming.

"That's for sure! This is our Brother Ming! He has all kinds of techniques for picking up girls!"

"It's not like us who only go up and say, 'Hello, hi, I just saw you over there and thought you looked pretty cute next to your bestie!'"

"That's right!" The yellow, fat, short gangster agreed.

"Brother Ming will definitely be able to do it in the future... how do you say that... it is said that a man marries two wives..."

"Enjoy the blessings of everyone!" Lin Ming directly interrupted, trying to showcase his cultural knowledge.

"That's right!"

The three gangsters raised their glasses together and looked at Lin Ming with admiration.

"I wish Brother Ming to enjoy the blessings of everyone!!!"

Being talked about in such a manner made Lin Ming smile as he raised his wine glass to clink with them.

No one noticed that the two stopped cars drove away again.

In an inconspicuous corner of the food stall, an ordinary man watched the first car leave with respect, then glanced at the three hardworking gangsters before lowering his head and continuing to eat in silence.

…

In an open space, Xia Xinyan got out of the car and approached Wang Haoran's car window.

Before she could speak, Wang Haoran spoke first.

"Ms. Xia, you don't think this is what I arranged in advance, do you?"

"Of course not. I misunderstood you before; I'm sorry!"

"It's okay, just let the misunderstanding be resolved now! It's not in vain that after I received the news from Yunshuang this morning, I sent someone to keep an eye on Lin Ming. I really caught him!"

Liu Yunshuang was also very moved after hearing this. "Thank you, Haoran! And Xinyan, if Lin Ming bothers you again in the future, you can come to the office to find the teacher!"

"Thank you, Teacher Liu!"

Seeing Xia Xinyan's reaction, Wang Haoran decided to make a joke.

"Ms. Xia won't report me for violating personal privacy, right? Like secretly filming, stalking, etc.?"

"Of course not! Am I that bad?"

Xia Xinyan pouted. "I know you are a good person!"

"Haha, yes, I am a good person!"

Wang Haoran couldn't help but laugh.

This chick's logic is quite interesting.

Before, she thought Lin Ming was a good guy, so Wang Haoran, who stood opposite Lin Ming, must be a bad guy.

But now, with Lin Ming proven to be a bad guy, Wang Haoran automatically becomes a good guy.

Black and white, really interesting.

[Ding! The female protagonist Xia Xinyan begins to hate the male protagonist Lin Ming. The male protagonist Lin Ming's protagonist aura is -100; the host's luck points +100, and his ability points +10!]

After saying goodbye to Xia Xinyan, Wang Haoran sent Liu Yunshuang home and then returned to his villa.

That night.

Wang Haoran was going back to his room to sleep.

"The two of them should not have anything to do with Lin Ming..."

Xia Xinyan's favorability towards him is now 20, while Liu Yunshuang's favorability towards him is 45.

However, Wang Haoran has no intention of continuing to improve their favorability because he is confident that he can deal with the protagonist alone without relying on the heroines.

Just as Wang Haoran closed the door, he suddenly stopped what he was doing.

He sensed that there were other people in the room.

Cold sweat broke out on his face.

Anyone who could sneak into the villa without alerting Uncle Fu must be a master.

Facing such a master, the current Wang Haoran was definitely no match.

Gritting his teeth and turning around, he saw, indeed, a long sword with a cold light placed across his neck.
