Chapter 345: The Evidence Is Here
Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong
Boss Cutie
Jiang Muye deliberately leaned in and caught Leng Ruoli by the wrist, then smeared the cream on his lips across her soft, tender cheek.
Ruoli's ears turned bright red, and she tussled and played with Jiang Muye.
They were having so much fun that, in the midst of their frolicking, they both ended up with cream on their hair and faces.
"Look, this is all evidence of your crimes," Jiang Muye said with a laugh, demanding an accounting from Ruoli.
"Fine, I'll just wipe it off for you," Ruoli said with a smile.
Jiang Muye waited quietly as Ruoli took out a tissue and came to wipe it off.
Jiang Muye thought Ruoli was about to clean him up, but at the crucial moment, she dodged away and swiftly smeared another layer of cream all over his face.
"Haha, I'm leaving!" Ruoli ran off with a grin.
"Damn, playing me, huh~ Don't let me catch you, or I won't let you off so easily." Jiang Muye, having been played, broke into a wide grin and lunged after the mischievous Ruoli like a cheetah.
As the two of them played together, they never imagined an accident would happen.
A massive amount of paper came fluttering down from the rooftop. It wasn't advertising—there seemed to be something printed on it.
"Wait, what's this?" Ruoli pressed a hand against Jiang Muye's chest and caught one of the sheets drifting down from above.
Many other students did the same.
However, when Ruoli saw what was on the paper, her face turned very pale.
Jiang Muye also sensed something was wrong and snatched the paper from her.
He discovered that every sheet was printed with a little essay.
Title: Jiang Muye Cheats with Jiang Xueli, Flirting on Campus, Secret Affair
The essay cursed Jiang Muye for being two-faced, for deceiving people's feelings, for two-timing while dating Ruoli—first Mi Lu the victim, then Jiang Xueli.
It went on about how Jiang Xueli, right under Ruoli's nose, flirted and laughed and tussled with Jiang Muye, and even had ironclad proof: Jiang Xueli delivering a love letter to Jiang Muye.
Below were pasted photos of the day Jiang Xueli came to give Ruoli's love letter to Jiang Muye, and of Jiang Xueli trying to hug Jiang Muye. Jiang Muye had clearly rejected her, but the maliciously timed shot made it look like Jiang Xueli was already smiling and hugging him.
The essay even claimed that Jiang Muye, to show support, had shot a personal zine with Jiang Xueli—the circumstances extremely vile.
Jiang Muye's thick brows furrowed hard.
Shit, you bastards!
Enraged, Jiang Muye clenched the paper tight.
In an instant, he saw strange looks sweeping toward him from all directions.
At the same time, someone up on the rooftop was still tossing down papers.
There were a huge number—several thousand by the looks of it.
It was obvious someone was deliberately framing Jiang Muye.
Jiang Muye's gaze fell on the pale-faced Ruoli. Could Ruoli have already misunderstood him?
After all, if he hadn't known the truth himself, it would be easy to be deceived by a few paragraphs of text.
"Ruoli, I…" He grabbed her by the shoulders, about to explain on instinct, when Ruoli cut him off decisively: "No need to explain."
Jiang Muye was stunned.
Ruoli was answering so firmly now.
She must be angry.
Jiang Muye was furious with himself. Who was pulling strings behind the scenes, pulling this kind of petty trick!
Just as Jiang Muye was about to properly coax Ruoli, a clear voice rang out: "I know you're innocent."
Jiang Muye met her limpid eyes.
Her eyes were blazing as she looked at him, and she smiled faintly.
Jiang Muye was overjoyed.
He felt as if he'd gained the whole world, and immediately pulled Ruoli into his arms, saying excitedly, "Thank you for believing me."
"I'm your fiancée, and the person who'll walk through life with you. If I didn't even have this basic trust, I'd have no business marrying you." Ruoli's voice was firm and powerful.
The person before her was Jiang Muye—that was why she believed him.
No evidence needed. Whatever he said, she believed.
Who else could it be, when he was the person she liked most in the whole world?
Jiang Muye breathed in the fresh scent of Ruoli's hair, his heart full of a weighty warmth. He tightened his arms around her body for a moment before pulling away.
"Wait, I still have one final thing to deal with."
Jiang Muye's gaze locked onto a spot on the rooftop, and without another word, he sprinted toward the stairwell.
He was determined to root out whoever was pulling strings behind the scenes.
Jiang Muye raced to the rooftop at top speed, but the rooftop was completely empty—not a single soul in sight.
He was instantly furious.
Had the culprit escaped?
As Jiang Muye fumed, he heard a loud clang—clearly from the corridor below.
Jiang Muye followed the sound and saw a cheetah-like figure dash out: a man in a white hoodie, running fast.
Jiang Muye gave chase with all his might.
However fast the other ran, could he be faster than Jiang Muye?
He fled, Jiang Muye pursued—there was no escape.
Jiang Muye practically slid down the handrail from the mid-landing, catching Hoodie Guy off guard.
A stylish flying kick from Jiang Muye sent the man sprawling to the ground.
As he tried to scramble up, Jiang Muye was already brutally subduing him, pinning his arms with both hands, forcing his face to the ground. He wanted to flee but couldn't struggle free at all.
Against Jiang Muye's overwhelming strength, it was completely futile.
"Let go!" the man snarled in frustration.
Jiang Muye mercilessly yanked off his hood: "Who are you? Did you hand out the flyers?"
An unfamiliar pale face was revealed to Jiang Muye.
The man tried to hide. Useless.
Jiang Muye squeezed his face, forcing him to meet his eyes: "Shit, who the hell are you? Coming after me—don't you want to live!"
"Serves you right! You deceived my Goddess Xueli's feelings, so I'm exposing you!" the man spat at Jiang Muye in fury.
He instinctively struggled to get up, but Jiang Muye wasn't giving him the chance.
Jiang Muye without mercy plopped right down on his back, grabbed Hoodie Guy's black hair, and said viciously, "Expose me? Depends on whether you live that long. For a reason like that, you just slander me however you want?"
"It's not me slandering you—it was posted online, I'm just a delivery boy!" Hoodie Guy angrily lashed out at Jiang Muye.
Jiang Muye was dumbstruck: "You're just delivering?"
"Damn right, I've seen plenty of scumbags like you, two-timing, disgusting! I wanted to watch your persona collapse so you couldn't survive at school!" the man spat viciously.
The result was Jiang Muye giving him a savage beating on the head: "You little shit, believing every rumor you hear, what the hell are you doing. I'm officially notifying you—you're done. I'm not letting this slide."
Even if the man was just a delivery boy, he had no intention of letting it go.
The accounts that needed settling, he wouldn't miss a single one.
Jiang Muye sat on the man's back and made a call, saying coldly, "Secretary, find me the source of the online rumor about my cheating. As fast as possible."
He emphasized the words "as fast as possible."
The Hoodie Guy pinned beneath him grunted heavily under the weight.
Jiang Muye ignored him, even rewarding him with a fierce smack to the head whenever he struggled to get out.
"You okay?! Phew, this is…" When Ruoli caught up, she saw someone sitting triumphantly on top of a man in the corridor.
