Chapter 354: Who Is the Imaginary Enemy

Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong

Boss Cutie

The other students were stunned when they saw this.

They had never imagined that Jiang Muye would go after their classmate in front of everyone, but none of them dared to step forward. After all, Jiang Muye was no longer the person he had been in the past. He was someone they absolutely could not afford to provoke.

Some of the girls grew anxious and pleaded on the boy's behalf, "Can't you two just talk this out?"

"He has no intention of talking this out with me, so I'm definitely going to let him suffer a little."

Jiang Muye snorted and turned to the boy. "You never imagined that the reporters at Orange Weekly are in the habit of recording everything, did you? When you fed him the tip, he had already started recording, just to guard against any surprises."

The boy's eyes turned scarlet. He raised his head, ready to bite Jiang Muye with all his might.

Jiang Muye was quick to react and released him.

The boy gasped for breath, struggling to breathe the thin air.

"You and Lin Qi share the same dorm, which makes this very interesting," Jiang Muye said coolly. "You used him like a gun, didn't you."

The boy's eyes went bloodshot. "So what if I did? What can you do to me?"

"Heh heh, what can I do to you." Jiang Muye stepped forward, his dangerous tone landing right by the boy's ear. "Pei Yan, I have all sorts of ways to make you regret this."

Pei Yan let out a cold laugh. His current state was a jarring mismatch with his mediocre looks. "Yes, I believe you. But do you really think that defeating me alone will let you keep yourself safe?"

Jiang Muye's eyes rippled with emotion. "Who egged you on into doing this!"

"You'll never know!" Pei Yan shot back viciously.

"Is that so, Jin Yan." Jiang Muye narrowed his eyes.

Pei Yan's expression turned extremely grim. "You… how did you know!"

"What I can find out is far more than I ever imagined. Do you still think there's nothing wrong with this?" Jiang Muye sneered coldly. "Your brother is locked up inside, and you're on the outside. How could you possibly know what happens in there?"

The Pei Yan before him was Jin Geng's own younger brother, a fraternal twin of Jin Geng. It was only because their parents had divorced, with Pei Yan going to their mother, that he had changed his surname to Pei.

Back then, Jin Geng had coveted Leng Ruoli and schemed against him, and he was already in prison. Neither had expected a younger brother to come seeking revenge.

"Don't touch my brother!" Pei Yan's fury surged, and he immediately lunged forward to grab Jiang Muye by the collar.

However, the instant he touched Jiang Muye, he had already been viciously punched by him.

Pei Yan's glasses went flying.

His eye immediately swelled up, and he felt a fiery, stinging pain.

"You think it's off-limits just because you say so? You're the one who pushed your brother toward a dead end in the first place. Back then, your brother committed a crime and going to prison was only natural. Now you come without distinguishing right from wrong to frame me—aren't you just trying to follow in his footsteps!" Jiang Muye attacked his opponent with disdain.

Pei Yan realized the severity of the situation.

He had originally been scheming against Jiang Muye from the shadows. Who would have thought he'd be sold out by the reporter and dragged out into the open by Jiang Muye?

Pei Yan knelt on the ground and begged Jiang Muye, "I was… acting on impulse. I know I was wrong now. I just wanted to snap a few photos to make your life a bit more miserable. I did this alone, and it has nothing to do with my brother. He didn't egg me on."

Jiang Muye watched Pei Yan begging for mercy on the ground, ashamed, but he felt not a single ripple inside.

Even if Pei Yan went on to cry and wail, filled with all sorts of regret, for Jiang Muye it could not make up for the mistakes he had committed.

Jiang Muye shook his phone in front of Pei Yan's face, the screen just showing the end of a screen recording.

"I've got new evidence now. You'd better go repent properly before the judge."

He had come to find Pei Yan not to play the saint, but purely to gather evidence.

With this evidence, he could win the lawsuit completely and turn things around.

Pei Yan was shocked!

He had never imagined that he had fallen completely into Jiang Muye's trap. He was filled with regret, but it was already too late.

His crimes were exposed to the public by Jiang Muye.

That very day, the school disciplined him, and netizens doxxed Pei Yan, making his life a living hell.

The truth came to light, thoroughly clearing Jiang Muye's name. He had never cheated at all.

Everyone who had misunderstood Jiang Muye regretted it, each one more than the last.

Jiang Muye used this to fight a beautiful turnaround. His fame grew even greater than it had been in the past, and because of this, he was invited as a domestic representative to attend the International Cultural Conference.

The moment he appeared, he stunned the leaders of every nation.

Not to mention that when he took the stage to speak on behalf of the country, he spoke directly in fluent Chinese and did not say a word of English. Yet his bearing and ability won him a massive crowd of true fans both at home and abroad.

Many foreigners even wanted to follow Jiang Muye and learn Chinese.

Jiang Muye became a little expert at promoting Chinese.

Many Chinese-language training institutions even wanted to invite Jiang Muye to be their spokesperson, but he politely declined them all.

Jiang Muye's career advanced to yet another level, especially since the Graphene Technology he led truly provided enormous help.

When Jiang Muye entered the Chen Clan to attend his first meeting, he met with the various shareholders. He had expected obstacles at every turn and quite a few people targeting him with defiance.

However, the moment he arrived, he took command of the entire room.

Who would dare spout even a single word of nonsense? If you've got the ability, go help invent graphene!

Who would dare show contempt for Jiang Muye? He'd have you thrown out of the upper management on the spot.

Among a group of outstanding young people, who could possibly be more excellent than Jiang Muye? Who had more confidence?

Jiang Muye's actions in this moment completely shut the mouths of that bunch of shareholders who had grand ambitions but little skill. Who dared to say a single word of gossip?

Jiang Muye sat below the head seat, looking down on the whole crowd with complete arrogance, and said concisely, "Let's begin."

All forty people in the room were there to serve Jiang Muye's operations.

Watching Jiang Muye stand on his own, his Aunt beside him was smiling so wide she couldn't close her mouth.

After the meeting ended, the shareholders heaped praise on his Aunt.

"As expected of the Deputy Director, your judgment is truly sharp. The heir you picked is indeed outstanding! I already thought Huo Zhenghao was no good before, but comparing them now, the difference between Huo Zhenghao and President Jiang is like cloud and mud!"

"That's right. Originally, when Huo Zhenghao left the Chen Clan, I thought the Chen Clan was done for. But now that I see this new heir, I feel there's someone to carry on the legacy!"

"Huo Zhenghao was capable, but his ability still falls far short of President Jiang's. Deputy Director, dismissing him and using President Jiang was an especially wise decision!"

His Aunt was overjoyed inside, but she feigned composure and smiled. "My judgment of people is never off. Of course," her gaze landed on Jiang Muye in the distance, who was looking over the reports, "it's still my nephew who's more impressive."

After Jiang Muye finished work and rode the elevator with his Aunt, she did not stint on praise. "Not bad, nephew. Your first battle was fought beautifully. The shareholders are very satisfied with you."

"It's also because you guided me well, Aunt. I'm not familiar with the company's business, and it was you who was instructing me," Jiang Muye said matter-of-factly.

His Aunt chuckled. "That still requires you to have talent and ability. I can't even teach a block of rotten wood."

Her gaze fixed on Jiang Muye, and thinking of something, she reminded him, "Your first day on the job will go a bit smoother, but that doesn't mean the company has no problems. In particular, you have an imaginary enemy."

"An imaginary enemy?" Jiang Muye narrowed his eyes and asked.
