Zongman: My Smart Group

Lin Mo nodded and said, "I've already eaten."

Hiratsuka Shizuka: "That's fine then. I'll drive you there."

Upon hearing that he didn't have to walk, Lin Mo quickly smiled and said, "Thank you so much, teacher."

And so, the two of them took a car to the school.

After saying goodbye to the teacher, Lin Mo walked towards the classroom and said to Yukino Yukinoshita, "Yukinoshita, here's the pen for you. Thank you for lending me the pen yesterday. I've already bought a new one."

Yukino Yukinoshita handed over the ballpoint pen and said, "You're welcome. Just be more careful next time."

Lin Mo: "Haha, don't worry, I definitely won't forget. By the way, your pen is pink and pretty. Where did you buy it?"

Yukino Yukinoshita: "It's in the stationery store at school. Go in, it's the second shelf, the first one on the second row."

Lin Mo exclaimed in amazement, "You remember all of this so clearly! No wonder you're Yukinoshita!"

Yukino Yukinoshita: "This is just the basics. Is there anything else? If not, I'll go read a book."

Lin Mo: "It's alright, it's alright. I even bought a pen this time, I'm definitely going to study hard!"

Thinking about Lin Mo's performance yesterday, Yukino Yukinoshita remained silent for a while before saying, "I hope so."

The first class was Hiratsuka Shizuka's Japanese language class. Lin Mo put in his best effort to study, but then realized that he might not be cut out for studying. He couldn't concentrate at all, and his notes were fragmented.

After class, Lin Mo sighed and lay on his desk, saying, "This is exhausting. Studying wasn't this hard before. Why can't I remember anything?"

Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, Yukino Yukinoshita stiffened abruptly, her hand holding the pen trembling slightly. After a moment of silence, she said, "Lin Mo, if there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask. I can answer your questions. Also, these are my notes; you can copy them."

Lin Mo quickly stood up and said, "Wait for me to go to the restroom, I'll copy yours as soon as I get back!"

The other students in the class couldn't help but shed tears of envy when they saw their usually aloof goddess being so proactive.

"What's wrong with you? You always act so aloof, but now you've been exposed."

Upon hearing the voice, Yukino Yukinoshita immediately turned her head to look in the direction of the sound, but she did not find the person who spoke. She frowned, but in the end, she did not say anything.

On his way to the restroom, Lin Mo unexpectedly ran into Hachiman Hikigaya and quickly went up to greet him: "Hachiman! Long time no see! Did you miss your big brother?"

Hachiman Hikigaya recalled his self-introduction from that day and said with an awkward smile, "Long time no see, Lin Mo."

Lin Mo stepped forward and put his arm around his neck, laughing as he said, "Why are you being so polite with your older brother? Just call me older brother. By the way, have you been bullied in class? If you have, be sure to tell me, and I'll help you get revenge! I'll definitely teach them a lesson they won't forget!"

Hachiman Hikigaya quickly waved his hand and said, "No, everyone is still very kind."

Damn it, why did I have to run into this person! I have to get out of here right now, I absolutely can't let this happen again!

Hachiman Hikigaya: "Lin Mo, I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now. We'll talk later."

Lin Mo: "OK!"

Hachiman Hikigaya quickly walked away, only to find Lin Mo following behind him.

coincidence?

Hachiman Hikigaya changed direction, and Lin Mo still followed behind him.

He said helplessly, "Lin Mo, is there anything else you want to say to me?"

Lin Mo: "No, no, I just wanted to see where you're going."

This is stalking, isn't it? This is definitely stalking! How can a grown man like you stalk me? This is so perverted!

Hachiman Hikigaya took a barely perceptible step back and said cautiously, "I need to go to the toilet."

Lin Mo's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "What a coincidence! I was just about to go to the restroom too! Shall we go together?"

Hachiman Hikigaya wanted to refuse, but he couldn't hold back any longer, so he nodded in agreement. He kept a close eye on Lin Mo the whole way, in case he did something weird. Fortunately, Lin Mo was very quiet the whole way and didn't cause any trouble.

"bite--

Sign-in task: While Hachiman Hikigaya is using the toilet, pull down his pants.

Task Reward: One sign-in.

Lin Mo's eyes widened, and he said with heart-wrenching pain, "System! Hachiman Hikigaya is my own brother! What do you mean by issuing this mission? What kind of person do you take me for! You're just trying to sow discord between us! What a vicious thought!"

System: "Let me clarify again that the issuance of a task depends on your myriad thoughts. In other words, it is because you first have this idea in your mind that this task comes into being."

Lin Mo: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could I possibly do that?"

System: "Then I'll cancel the task."

Lin Mo said with exasperation, "I've already said he's my own brother, isn't my meaning clear enough? This needs more money!"

System: "Being your brother is quite a hardship."

Lin Mo: "That's not right. As the saying goes, 'I'd do anything for my brothers.' I believe Hachiman Hikigaya will understand my situation."

System: "I'll increase the drop rate of good items, okay?"

Lin Mo: "That's more like it!"

Hachiman Hikigaya suddenly shivered, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart. He quickly looked at Lin Mo and found him trying to suppress a laugh, feeling that he was harboring some bad intentions.

But having already reached the toilet door, Hachiman Hikigaya didn't care about anything else and quickly pulled out his "tool" to start releasing the valve.

Lin Mo, with a mysterious smile on his face, approached Hachiman Hikigaya from behind. Hachiman Hikigaya's mind immediately went on alert: "What are you going to do!"

Lin Mo reached out and patted his butt, saying mysteriously, "What am I going to do? You'll find out soon enough. This thing is pretty big, a bit less impressive than mine."

Hachiman Hikigaya's expression changed drastically. Could it be that he had just encountered a gay man?! Oh my god, could he really be that unlucky?

With lightning speed, Lin Mo pulled down Hachiman Hikigaya's pants and ran out with a smug laugh.

"Hahaha...haha...ha..."

As the laughter faded into the distance, Hachiman Hikigaya stood there dumbfounded, completely bewildered.

What happened? Why does my butt feel cold?

Just then, a boy who was using the restroom walked by and stared in shock at Hachiman Hikigaya, who had taken off his pants. Hachiman Hikigaya's heart sank. He knew he was doomed. His reputation was in jeopardy!

Lin Mo ran back to the classroom without stopping. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Hachiman Hikigaya hadn't chased after him, and said with a smile, "That was so exciting!"

Seeing Lin Mo run back as if he were doing something, Yukino Yukinoshita asked curiously, "What happened?"

Lin Mo: "It's nothing. Where are your notes? Could I copy them down? Thanks."

Yukino Yukinoshita handed over her notebook and said, "These are some of the key points the teacher taught. I wrote them down in my own way. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me."

Lin Mo: "OKOK!"

Chapter 22 Rumors

Before I knew it, the morning had passed.

Lin Mo was too lazy to go to the cafeteria to grab food, so he decided to drink some nutritional supplements to tide him over. According to the system's calculations, one bottle could meet his energy needs for the day.

Lin Mo took out a nutrient solution from his desk and drank it.

Seeing that Lin Mo didn't go to the cafeteria like yesterday, she couldn't help but feel guilty. Yesterday, in order to find out Lin Mo's specific situation as soon as possible, she forgot to keep her promise to give Lin Mo money for meals during this period when they parted. She didn't know how he solved his dinner and breakfast problems, but fortunately it wasn't too late now.

Yukino Yukinoshita said, "Lin Mo, let me treat you to dinner."

Lin Mo: "No need, no need, I'm full after drinking water."

Hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita felt even more guilty. She stood up and said firmly, "Drinking water alone won't solve your hunger. We agreed that I would take care of your meals."

Lin Mo hesitated for a moment, then clicked "agree." Although the nutrient solution could solve the day's energy problem, it tasted like sweet water and wasn't particularly pleasant. If he could eat, he should eat.

The students in the class hadn't all left yet, and they gasped in surprise at Yukino's assertive demeanor.

"I never expected that Yukino would like this!"

"Damn it! Where did I go wrong?!"

"Is Lin Mo being kept by a sugar daddy?"

"I also want to be kept by a rich woman!"

Hearing her classmates' comments, Yukino Yukinoshita blushed, realizing how bold her words had been and how they could be so easily misunderstood.

Yukino Yukinoshita was about to explain the reason for the matter when she realized that it involved Lin Mo's privacy and she couldn't say it directly. So she tried to pull Lin Mo away from this place of trouble.

"No wonder they're rich, they just love to spend money."

"I don't know how chaotic it is behind the scenes."

"He always acts so serious, but who knows how many people he's been messing around with behind the scenes."

The words mixed in made Yukino Yukinoshita's face extremely gloomy. Her eyes lingered in the crowd, but she couldn't find the person who said such a thing.

Lin Mo slammed his fist on the table and roared, "Who the hell spread this rumor! Get out here! You're asking for trouble!"

Everyone was startled and shut their mouths, not daring to say a word.

Whether in her past life or this one, Lin Mo hates nothing more than people spreading rumors and gossip! They just open their mouths and say whatever comes to mind, and people act like idiots, believing whatever they're told without any regard for the explanations of those involved!

It's easy to frame someone, but it's very difficult to prove one's innocence. Some people with low psychological stress will simply die to prove their innocence.

And what about the rumor-mongers? What about the followers?

A simple apology, and all the trouble is over.

One of her siblings from a past life experienced this and almost committed suicide. If everyone hadn't comforted her, a tragedy might have truly occurred.

Therefore, Lin Mo will not let this go until things are cleared up today!

Lin Mo glanced at them, but none of them dared to meet his gaze. He sneered, "You dare to do it but not admit it, huh? You really think I can't catch you?"

At the same time, he thought to himself, "System, mark the people who just spread rumors. I'm going to beat them so badly that even their own mothers wouldn't recognize them!"

System: "Alright! Don't worry, host, I remember everything that was said!"

Lin Mo pointed at a short-haired girl and said, "Didn't you just say that rich people play with flowers?!"

The person who was found out immediately changed his expression and said, "I didn't! What proof do you have that I said it? I'd rather you said it!"

Lin Mo ignored her and pointed at another long-haired girl, saying, "Tell me, what a mess they are in private!"

Long-haired girl: "Who heard that? Don't make things up without evidence, or I'll sue you for defamation!"

Lin Mo finally pointed to a boy: "And you! You said the last sentence, didn't you? That's really unexpected!"

Boy: "I didn't! How could I say such a thing! Where's the evidence? Don't talk nonsense without evidence!"

Lin Mo sneered and was about to rush over: "Evidence? What a coincidence! You don't need evidence to spread rumors, and I don't need evidence to hit someone!"

After saying that, he was about to rush over and teach them a lesson, but Yukino Yukinoshita stopped him. She took Lin Mo's hand, shook her head, and said, "If you hit someone, you will also be implicated. Let me handle this matter."

Yukino Yukinoshita took a step forward, and it wasn't hard to tell from the expressions of the three that those words were spoken by them.

Yukino Yukinoshita said coldly, "I believe you all understand the principle that 'disaster comes from the mouth.' Since you have done such a thing, you must pay the corresponding price. This is a principle that even a three-year-old knows. As you said, I am a rich person, and I suppose you are prepared to bear the consequences."

The short-haired girl said, "Everything needs evidence. If Lin Mo says whatever he wants without any evidence, isn't he just spreading rumors?"

Long-haired girl: "Aren't you being a bit too domineering? Even if this is true, it's just because of a few words. Don't let your family retaliate. Aren't you being too narrow-minded?"

Boy: "Yes!"

Lin Mo suddenly laughed and said, "Hahaha... Now you know to talk about evidence? Where were you before? It's too late now. Go and talk to the Yukino family!"

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Call me domineering or narrow-minded, none of that matters. You are all adults now, and you must pay the price for your actions. This is the first lesson I'm teaching you. I believe you will thank me when you enter society."

After saying these words, Yukino Yukinoshita turned and left. Lin Mo sneered and followed her.

On the way, Yukino Yukinoshita breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you so much for just now."

Lin Mo waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. After all, I can't stand people like that either."

Yukino Yukinoshita said earnestly, "It may be a small matter for you, but you have done me a great favor. If it weren't for you, it would have taken me a lot more time to find them. Thank you!"

Lin Mo: "That's true. After all, I'm incredibly clever. Finding a few people is a piece of cake."

System: "Host, this is entirely my doing!"

Lin Mo: "What do you mean 'yours' and 'mine'? Even you are mine!"

Upon hearing this bold statement, the system's face suddenly turned red, and it fell silent.

Lin Mo rubbed his stomach and said, "Yukinoshita, what are we going to do next? Are we going to the cafeteria again? I'm really hungry."

Yukino Yukinoshita smiled slightly and said, "Okay, let's continue to the cafeteria. To thank you, this meal is on me, and I won't charge you any more wages."
