Shan Lan's lengthy post was like a scoop of gasoline poured onto the fire, making the attacks on Xu Ke burn even more intensely.

Tonight, Xu Ke undoubtedly received a more terrifying level of attention than he had when his relationship with Wong Qifu was first exposed. Back then, it was merely his relationship with Wong Qifu that had become public. The exposure of a romance did attract envy and jealousy, and the Ye and Huang families even arranged for people to insult him. But aside from them, not many people actually mocked Xu Ke.

This time, however, was different. This time, Xu Ke had done too many things that were simply inhuman!

「...」

Just as Shan Lan's lengthy post went live, the information was sent to Qiu Mingli's phone almost simultaneously.

"What?" Upon seeing the title of the post, Qiu Mingli's face turned pale.

Is Shan Lan really that vicious?

He could tell at a glance that Shan Lan had been paid to do this. Otherwise, with her personality, she would only scheme in the shadows and would never have stepped into the spotlight.

"To target a Tianhai University student for money... She's a disgrace to the teaching profession!" Qiu Mingli roared in anger after finishing the post.

What was this nonsense about "after all, Xu Ke had embezzled student prize money"? Absolute bullshit!

Qiu Mingli immediately went to the comments section of Shan Lan's post and typed, "Nonsense! The person who embezzled student prize money during university was you, and the school has already disciplined you for it. Don't you dare spew malicious lies."

Just after he finished commenting, he turned and rushed to open his WeChat group chat history. He remembered that Xu Ke had previously shared a photo of the disciplinary notice in the group. But a moment later, before he could find it, his phone suddenly started buzzing nonstop with notifications.

He checked his phone and was stunned to see that his comment on Shan Lan's post had been pinned by her. When he saw Shan Lan's reply, his expression shifted instantly.

Shan Lan had written, "Pinning this for everyone. This is Xu Ke's homeroom teacher, Mr. Qiu Mingli."

At that point, Qiu Mingli realized that droves of people were swarming his comment, hurling abuse at him.

"No professional ethics."

"An online loan dog wants to be a teacher? Get out of Tianhai with Xu Ke!"

"Cut the crap and shut your damn mouth."

"I'm a Tianhai University student. This Qiu Mingli is just a mailroom clerk. He was fired years ago after online loan collectors showed up at his work. He's just spouting nonsense now to frame Teacher Shan Lan."

"..."

Seeing so many people insulting him, Qiu Mingli's hands began to tremble. When had so many people ever cursed at him?! To make matters worse, some had even started insulting his parents...

His face turned deathly pale, completely drained of color.

「...」

In Huang Sheng's apartment.

Huang Zhenyang ran to Huang Sheng's study, grinning. "Sheng, you've been cooped up at home for too long. You have no idea what's been happening."

"What happened?" Huang Sheng asked, looking down at a book.

"Take a look..." Huang Zhenyang held his phone out in front of Huang Sheng, his face filled with smug satisfaction. "You wouldn't believe it. Sun Luo came to deal with Xu Ke, and with just a few simple moves, his reputation has already been ruined."

"That loser. We knew he was no match for us. Now that we're playing this out in the open, his reputation is completely ruined."

"Once the Wang Family dumps him, we'll have Sun Luo team up with Elder Yee and capture him."

"Heh... Two Innate Maestros. I can't wait to see how that loser dies!"

As Huang Sheng looked at the information on the phone, the corners of his mouth curled into a faint smile...

「...」

At the Golden K Bar.

"Hahaha, Ye Chong, look how miserable Xu Ke is now," Ye Fan said, looking immensely pleased with himself as he sat in a private room, wearing a white shirt and holding a bottle of liquor.

This is just too satisfying!

That lowlife Xu Ke was finally tasting their power.

"A sponger like him should've seen this day coming," Ye Chong said with scorn.

Ye Fan laughed heartily. "Look at him, still hiding in his shell like a turtle. He hasn't made a single statement anywhere."

"Wong Qifu has no intention of speaking up for him, either. It looks like she's about to abandon him. How satisfying."

"The only person who came out to speak for him was his homeroom teacher, who turned out to be a dirt-poor nobody."

"Heh... a social climber who fought so hard to rise, only to have it all fall apart. He might as well go back to the countryside and raise pigs with his parents."

"How miserable!"

「...」

While reactions from all sides varied, Yuk Dalong also received the news. Upon getting the information, he immediately arranged to meet with Jiang Yi. Previously, Jiang Yi wouldn't have been qualified to speak with him, but now that they had both been "poisoned," they were on equal footing.

"President Yuk, what do you plan to do?" Jiang Yi asked as soon as they met.

Yuk Dalong's expression darkened; he didn't speak. He was pondering his next move. After betraying Ye Chong, he had long been considering whom to pledge his allegiance to next. He had initially decided on Xu Ke, since the Wang Family was backing him.

But... now that the Wang Family hasn't made a statement, have they abandoned Xu Ke?

Seeing Yuk Dalong's silence, Jiang Yi smiled faintly. "President Yuk, do you still need to think about it?"

"And you don't?" Yuk Dalong raised an eyebrow.

"I, of course, choose to side with our boss," Jiang Yi shrugged.

Yuk Dalong spoke in a meaningful tone. "Are you really content to follow someone who 'poisoned' you?"

"President Yuk, don't you know in your own heart whether you were actually poisoned?" Jiang Yi countered.

For the first couple of days, Jiang Yi had been a little worried about the poison's effects. But when Xu Ke found him last night, he told him there was no poison. Since Xu Ke could get the evidence from the Li Family the next day, he decided not to deceive Jiang Yi any longer.

Only then did Jiang Yi calm down. He contemplated all night whether he should work with Xu Ke, and ultimately concluded—fortune favors the bold!

He had already made his decision.

Yuk Dalong was taken aback. "You mean I wasn't poisoned?"

"Of course not. You think climbing a mountain actually does anything?" Jiang Yi laughed.

Yuk Dalong winced. He had been tricked for days. Tapping the table, he said, "But the Wang Family isn't taking a stand. I don't know who I'll be up against if I side with Xu Ke." He was afraid that without the Wang Family, he would die a miserable death fighting the Ye and Huang Families.

"You don't have to worry about that. Wang Wu is already his bodyguard. Do you really think Wong Qifu is just playing games?" Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow. "Besides, from the moment you betrayed Ye Chong, you didn't really think you had a way back, did you?"

Yuk Dalong was finally convinced. "Alright."

"So, Jiang, what's your plan?"

A smile curled Jiang Yi's lips. "The boss has already prepared everything!"

「...」

After nearly half an hour of relentless insults against Xu Ke flooding the internet, a wave of comments defending him suddenly appeared online.

"I'm Xu Ke's classmate. His ex-girlfriend's mother is a real piece of work."

"Here's the chat log. Siao Jia asked us to go to Xu Ke's new apartment and accuse him of cheating, but it turned out that Siao Jia was the one who cheated all along."

"Chang Xiujuan and Siao Jia are bastards."

"Xu Ke's ex-girlfriend Siao Jia has a brother, Siao Fan, who's also a bastard. You probably don't know this, but he just got out of detention. This is the release receipt I got for him. He harassed Xu Ke and even threatened to kill him."

"He even splashed dog blood at Xu Ke's new place in the Huating Community! Here's the photo!"

This wave of comments almost instantly dominated all topics related to the "exposé from Xu Ke's ex-mother-in-law"
