You are all bad women! Don't come over!

Faced with the astonished gazes of everyone around him, Shen Mochen's expression remained unshaken. He looked at them all calmly, with a cold tone in his voice.

"That's not the point. The point is I have never done anything underhanded or shameful before, and all the rumors about me were just someone maliciously slandering me. I know I can't pursue it, but I want an apology."

But at this moment, nobody cared what he was saying. You Feicheng stepped forward two paces and lifted his hair; the moment his face was revealed, nearly everyone drew in a sharp breath.

"Gulp..."

You Feicheng, upon seeing the face before him that was as handsome as jade, subconsciously rolled his throat and swallowed.

"Your face isn't ruined..." Gao Le involuntarily screamed.

"I haven't had my face ruined, nor have I made any indecent advances toward girls. These are also rumors," Shen Mochen said calmly as he unwrapped You Feicheng's hand, letting his fringe fall down lightly.

All of a sudden, everyone understood.

No wonder Gu Yange liked him so much, no wonder Catherine had given him face specially, even Teacher Cai Yuncui's care for him... all of it made sense now!

"Class leader, you guys..."

Some in the class looked toward Catherine with suspicion; they had recognized that Shen Mochen seemed to be Catherine's boyfriend.

"This wasn't my doing, you can't blame me," Catherine said with a light pat on Shen Mochen's shoulder, walked over to pull up a small chair, and sat down leisurely, smiling, "At this time, family members should avoid interference, you all go about your business, don't mind me."

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts as she implicitly acknowledged their relationship. Not only that, but she also deliberately used the term "family members."

She said she'd avoid and told everyone to disregard her, but the more she demonstrated their intimacy, the more it was a show of support for Shen Mochen.

Wu Liangde blinked from the side, feeling his own position was somewhat awkward.

He had investigated Shen Mochen's past, and he wasn't surprised by his appearance but rather shocked that he'd always kept such a face hidden!

What was the point of that?

Anyone with such good looks would have shown them off, let alone a teenage boy. How could he have held back? He must be very deep indeed!

However, Wu Liangde now found it troublesome that Shen Mochen seemed to have been wronged, and that the person who had wronged him didn't know his secret or his relationship with Catherine. He was feeling wronged now and wanted justice.

This was tricky.

Considering his background and Catherine's face, he should give Shen Mochen some justice. But since First Middle School wasn't within his jurisdiction, it wasn't easy for him to overstep, especially since he also knew Gao Le's parents. But if...

As he was struggling with this, he suddenly saw Zhao Yuji quietly walk to the door and signal to him.

Wu Liangde hurried over: "Young Master Zhao, you're here too!"

"Director Wu, are you very familiar with this Shen Mochen?"

Zhao Yuji managed a forced smile on his face; he truly couldn't muster a genuine one. He was someone who loved to stand out, continuously maintaining his position as the school's NO.1 heartthrob. He was also an incredibly proud person, self-proclaiming to be the epitome of talent and looks, always needing to be the one who captured the most attention.

But just a moment ago, all of his glory had been stolen by Shen Mochen, who didn't even do anything except show his face.

Even though he was the heartthrob, Shen Mochen had snatched away all his glory just with his looks.

In an instant, he even imagined scenarios where people would keep comparing them in secret and then conclude that he wasn't as good as Shen Mochen. Perhaps they wouldn't say it out loud, but every time someone saw him, they would think it.

He could even picture the new issue of the school forum's male god rankings, where he'd be pushed down by Shen Mochen. His more than two-year-long achievement would come to an end, and in the future, when others saw him, their gaze would inadvertently reveal pity.

How long would this process take? A few weeks? Or perhaps just by next Monday.

This was something his pride simply couldn't tolerate. He had originally thought of Shen Mochen as just a toy to pass the time, but now he was terrified to discover that he might become nothing but a stepping stone for him!

Even Catherine, who he had always felt was only worthy of him, had already been taken into Shen Mochen's arms!

Wu Liangde had no idea what was going through Zhao Yuji's mind and rubbed his bald spot, saying, "Eh, not really acquainted, just met once or twice..."

Zhao Yuji couldn't help but ask, "Is it possible that this so-called act of hero saving the damsel was just a play directed and acted by himself?"

Wu Liangde was taken aback, vaguely sensing Zhao Yuji's attitude. However, quite the contrary had happened; the day after, some people using the Roman Consulate's name took those thugs away without making things difficult for them. Wu Liangde speculated that these people probably had nothing to do with Shen Mochen and were actually related to Catherine.

Seeing the ferocity Shen Mochen had at the time, it was clear he treated those men as true enemies. If it were all staged by him, unless those men were his biological fathers, it was impossible to let them be beaten like that without spilling the truth, especially when there wasn't any substantial power behind Shen Mochen.

He sighed softly in his heart without revealing Catherine's identity, saying only, "It's not likely, judging from my many years of experience, Shen Mochen probably had nothing to do with them."

Zhao Yuji's face turned ugly, "So he, alone, could take on four? Just happens that members of the Alexandrov Family were there too?"

In Wu Liangde's mind, maybe it was arranged for Shen Mochen to play the hero.

It seemed that Zhao Yuji harbored a lot of animosity towards Shen Mochen. Hesitating for a moment, Wu Liangde finally said, "Young Master Zhao, it indeed seems to be a coincidence... and Shen Mochen does not have a shallow background. He nominally has a sister, though not related by blood, but for some reason, they are registered as family on the household registration."

"I know, a Superpower User, right!"

That's truly losing composure, thought Wu Liangde. He had seen Zhao Yuji several times before, and the latter had always been composed and cunning.

People said his emotions never showed on his face, a paragon among the young generation of Gaotang State, but seeing his anxiousness now made it hard not to sigh.

"Young Master Zhao, his sister is no ordinary Buque. When I tried to dig further, I found that all her files were encrypted, especially the two years after she joined Buque; her entire history and travel records were blank. Obviously, she couldn't have done nothing for those two years. Clearly, even with my level of access, I couldn't get a look, and on the very next day, I even received a warning phone call from higher-ups... This is probably no ordinary Buque."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuji's heart immediately cooled. He vaguely knew about the rumors of "super Buque," could his sister truly be a super Buque?

"Young Master Zhao, you should also know that Buque are a rather special existence. Although most don't have much power, their social status isn't low, let alone those super Buque. It's best not to provoke them lightly," Wu Liangde advised. Find adventures at My Virtual Library Empire
