Locking away my heart and love! Going back to 2000 to be a top student again.

Not long after finishing her meal, Xu Su reached out to Zhou Mochen, "Can I have my phone now?"

Zhou Mochen brought her a cup of hot black tea from the bar, then pointed to a white touchscreen phone on the coffee table, "I got you a new one, the SIM card is already inserted."

He didn't ask whether she bought the phone herself, but just smiled faintly, "This time, you won't forbid me from going to your school, will you?"

"..." Xu Su felt a chill run down her spine from his laughter. She touched the goosebumps on her arms and said dryly, "You've caused such a big commotion, the whole school probably knows you now, what's the point of me stopping you?"

"Oh..." Zhou Mochen gave a meaningful "oh," then asked, "Are you still hiding something from me so I can't talk to you?"

This person is determined to be sarcastic and sarcastic all day long!

Xu Su took a sip of tea to calm herself down before saying, "I won't hide the fact that you're my boyfriend, but if possible, I still don't want you to come to school too often and disturb my studies."

“Xu Su, I won’t hide from people when I pick you up from school anymore. I want all your classmates to know that you have a boyfriend.” Zhou Mochen frowned, his eyes filled with malice. “Also, I’ll let Xi Zirong go this time, but don’t try to play the ‘lingering ties’ game with me again.”

He still feels like he was bewitched, that he was coaxed by her and even endured this humiliation instead of crushing that damned boy in the mud!

Xu Su's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly nodded, "I know. It won't happen..."

She thought of the two files she had seen on the computer in the study...

After hesitating for a long time, he finally asked, "Zhou Mochen, did you do something to Sun Yu's father?"

The document titled 'Kang County' clearly records the current fate of Sun Yu's entire family.

Sun Yu himself was sent to a juvenile detention center for fighting and was expelled from Changshi No. 7 Middle School.

His father originally owned a small electronics factory in Kang County, employing about 100 workers. He was considered a well-known figure in Kang County. However, the factory went bankrupt two years ago, leaving him with a mountain of debt and unable to even pay his workers' wages. A supplier who came to collect the debt smashed his head open with a brick, and he spent a year in the hospital recovering.

Although the person is fine and can move freely, their mental processing speed is not as good as before.

From then on, Sun Yu's family has been like they've been cursed for the past two years, with any of their relatives who have achieved something in the family suffering the consequences.

Xu Su was somewhat alarmed when she saw the document, especially since it included a picture of Sun Yu's father being injured.

Zhou Mochen was clearly not expected Xu Su to ask this question. He paused for a second before remembering who Sun Yu was.

"I didn't hire anyone to do the injury, but as for the rest..." He paused for a moment, then admitted, "It was me."

Xu Su's hands unconsciously clenched slightly, and the next second a pair of hands squeezed through her fingers. Zhou Mochen forcibly held her hands, his voice a little tense: "Su Su, don't be afraid of me."

He turned his head as if to kiss her, but Xu Su turned her head away. "Where is that President Zhao?"

Zhou Mochen's lips landed on Xu Su's cheek, remaining motionless for a long time.

After a long pause, he suddenly gave a cold laugh, "Are you blaming me for being too ruthless?"

“No…” Xu Su shook her head, clenching her fingers tightly. “I’m not that ungrateful. I know you’re standing up for me. I just don’t want anyone to die.”

Mr. Zhao's document should have just been started; the latest date is a few days ago.

This Mr. Zhao was reported for embezzlement, bribery, and sexual harassment of female subordinates. The evidence was conclusive, with videos and photos even being sent to his company and home.

In less than half a month, he was abandoned by everyone and went from being a highly sought-after executive to a pariah. His body, which was corrupted by alcohol and meat, could not withstand the pressure and he suffered a stroke and became paralyzed.

That Mr. Zhao probably still doesn't know that his current predicament is simply because he had some designs on Xu Su, a student from a rural background, and before he even took any action, he paid a terrible price.

Zhou Mochen put his arm around Xu Su's shoulder and explained softly, "I just had some of the things he did collected and made public. Su Su, if you've seen the documents, you should know that scum like President Zhao deserves to die."

"I know, so I don't think you're heartless." Xu Su kissed the hickey she had left on Zhou Mochen's neck, her heart filled with complicated emotions.

How could she not know that Xu Su couldn't help but panic when she saw Mr. Zhao's document?

If... if Zhou Mochen weren't around, would she become that CEO Zhao's next victim?

Xu Su's heart wasn't as soft as Zhou Mochen thought. In her past life, she had seen countless people on the verge of bankruptcy who came to her door seeking help.

Among those people were those seeking investment from Zhou Mochen, and others begging him to show leniency...

There were many more people Xu Su couldn't even see; those people had nowhere to turn for help, and didn't even know which way the Zhou family's main gate faced...

Zhou Mochen breathed a sigh of relief. He was truly afraid that the girl in his arms would look at him with disgust and fear again.

"That... the blond kid who hurt me last time..."

Xu Su spoke haltingly, but Zhou Mochen understood. He explained softly, "Shen Chen is handling this. He suffered a loss in Kang County, so let him vent his anger. If you want to know the progress, I'll go ask him."

"..." Thinking of the blond kid with the broken ribs and his brothers lying on the ground, Xu Su really didn't know what Shen Chen had suffered.

She quickly shook her head, "No need, no need, I don't care about that."

Xu Su didn't want to be a saint, but she also didn't want to know how ruthless these two were... She was just a little puzzled, "He's already back in the capital, how can his reach still be this far?"

Zhou Mochen's voice was calm. "It's just a matter of a word."

Xu Su was speechless again...

Sure enough, Shen Chen, despite his good temper, was not a kind person at all.

After resting for a while, Xu Su went back to her room to take a shower. When she came out, Zhou Mochen was busy with a laptop with his hair slightly damp. Seeing her come out, he sat on the living room sofa and reached out to her, "Why didn't you dry your hair?"

Xu Su sat down next to him. "Just blow-dry it until it's half dry. You go about your business and don't worry about me."

She hesitated for a moment, holding her phone, before calling Teacher Wu to tell her that she would be going back to class the next day.

On the phone, Ms. Wu's attitude was very natural, as if she was not affected by what happened a few days ago. It was as if Xu Su was just a student who had asked for leave to come back to class normally. She only told her that she had changed her deskmate, and did not mention anything else.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Su looked at Zhou Mochen next to her and asked, "Did you give any instructions? Why did the teacher change my deskmate again after we only changed seats at the beginning of the semester?"
