Wei Changhe was stunned, his face filled with disbelief, as if the whole world had been turned upside down. Finally, under Yuan Shan's resentful gaze, he recovered and his expression turned very serious.
"I helped you back then because you were young and stole out of necessity for survival. I wanted to give you an opportunity to receive an education.
And choosing you from thousands of people was first because you were indeed the most capable among the applicants and suited for this position. Secondly, I wanted to encourage you. Because I knew you were the girl I rescued back then, I wanted to tell you that education can change a person's destiny. I also hoped that you would pass on this idea throughout the Black Gold School!
As for not liking you after spending so much time together? I spend even more time with our housekeeper and that old immortal, the vice-principal. Do I have feelings like liking them? I simply treated you as a secretary, a subordinate, and never had any other intentions!"
Bai Xi understood upon hearing this.
Wei Changhe had never betrayed his wife, nor had he deceived Yuan Shan. Everything was just Yuan Shan's one-sided wishful thinking.
In Wei Changhe's eyes, Yuan Shan was just a student, a student who had gone astray. He wanted to save her, to change her, but instead, she mistakenly thought he felt differently about her, thus developing feelings.
And after he rejected her, she became enraged by shame and wanted to destroy Wei Changhe, and even the entire Black Gold Academy, as revenge.
Indeed, the gap between people is greater than the gap between humans and pigs.
Some people, standing in the sunlight, want to pull those in the darkness out of the shadows, so everyone can bask in the sunlight together, just like Wei Changhe, who treated education as his life.
While some people, in the sunlight, feel that only they deserve that brilliant sunshine and want to kick others into hell to show off their greatness, like Wu Yu, who directly attacked his talented classmate for fear of being overshadowed.
Some people, though in hell, fear others falling into hell and try their best to lift people onto the path of light, like Xuan Feng, who once lived with wolves in the forest but guided a lost human child to a main road.
And some people, in hell, want to drag others into hell as well. For example, Yuan Shan, facing misfortune, doesn't want her own life to become better and happier, but instead hopes that others will live in a similarly murky, chaotic, selfish, and self-righteous manner!
Upon hearing Wei Changhe's words, Yuan Shan became even more agitated: "I don't believe you. Don't deceive yourself anymore. You're just not bound by worldly morals and ethics, and you dare not face our love..."
Bai Xi directly kicked a chair in front of her. It flew across and smashed into the wall to Yuan Shan's right, shattering and making a loud noise.
Yuan Shan's words were abruptly cut off, and she was startled, covering her head and hiding to the side: "You, what are you doing?"
Bai Xi said indifferently, "I don't want to hear another word from you. To be so eager to be someone's mistress and yet be able to articulate it so clearly and elegantly is truly disgusting. How desperate are you for a man?"
Despite his advanced age, Wei Changhe never expected to have such a young and fervent admirer, resembling a psychopathic stalker fan.
He originally just wanted to do a good deed but encountered such an absurd person, nearly sacrificing himself and his beloved. This was truly a case of biting the hand that feeds you.
Hearing Bai Xi's words, Yuan Shan felt insulted: "What do you know? I did it because of love! Love knows no precedence; love is a madness that disregards everything. Only the one who is not loved is the mistress! I poured all my effort into loving him, what did I do wrong!"
Bai Xi raised an eyebrow: "Please don't trample on the word 'love,' because you don't even deserve to say it!"
Trying to reason with her was simply a waste of breath. She was trapped in her own world of thoughts and unwilling to accept any other opinions or ideas. Why bother playing the lute to a cow.
As soon as she finished speaking, the captain of the security team finally arrived and without hesitation, surrounded Yuan Shan.
Hearing Bai Xi question her view of love, Yuan Shan instantly became furious: "I just love someone, what wrong did I do! The wrong person is clearly him, for not accepting my love and trampling on my love for him. He destroyed me, and his mistake caused the entire Black Gold Academy to be buried with him, hahahaha..."
Looking at Yuan Shan, consumed by hatred born from love, Bai Xi felt a sense of dread.
While it's not wrong to like someone, one must still know the basic principles of propriety and shame. Let alone the fact that Wei Changhe didn't love her, and she insisted on being persistent, and then wanted to destroy him when she couldn't have him. Even if Wei Changhe had reciprocated her feelings, knowing that Wei Changhe had a wife and still choosing to continue fundamentally violated the most important aspect of love – loyalty.
If a man truly loved a mistress, he wouldn't bear to let her be a mistress.
If a man truly loved his wife, how could there be a mistress?
Therefore, matters of emotion have always been a one-way street; a trio is bound to lack sufficient sincerity.
She vowed that Yuan Shan was the most classless woman she had ever met, without exception.
Wei Changhe gritted his teeth and said, "You are truly insane! Take her away, lock her up, and hand her over to the Dark Division after everything has settled!"
As Yuan Shan was being held by the security team, her face showed no fear: "Bai Xi, you are so foolish. Did you think I was telling you about my past just because I wanted to confide in you? I was just stalling for time."
After speaking, she glanced at the USB drive on the projector not far away.
Her face twisted with smugness: "Knowing the Hall Master's plan, you still had to argue right from wrong. Now I have already projected it, and everyone in the venue has seen it. The Hall Master's plan has been realized. This is the Hall Master's masterpiece, the grandest creation of the highest artistic and social value in this world!"
Ordinary people would lose their minds, their bestial natures would erupt, and they would attack others, killing until no living creature remained, simply by staring at the screen for thirty seconds.
Bai Xi glanced at her indifferently and said, "The Hall Master of Kui Hall is very intelligent, why would he find such a foolish pawn like you? Haven't you realized it yet?"
Yuan Shan was stunned: "You, what do you mean?"
Bai Xi said indifferently, "It's really exhausting talking to you."
Wei Changhe stood with his hands behind his back and said majestically and solemnly, "If student Zhan... Bai Xi hadn't dealt with these matters, why would she be here listening to your morally bankrupt nonsense? Everything outside is peaceful and harmonious now, don't you understand?"
She always accidentally wanted to expose the God of War. Although the Hall Master of Kui Hall knew, this pawn might not, otherwise, why would she be so arrogant in front of the God of War.
Yuan Shan was stunned. Her eyes, which had been full of pride moments ago, widened: "You mean... you mean my plan failed?"
Wei Changhe remained silent.
Yuan Shan, extremely stubborn and self-important, heard this and quickly shook her head: "No, no, impossible. How could I have failed? I can't fail!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she spat out a mouthful of blood. The blood was dark red, and she was stunned.
Han Mo said faintly, "There's poison in her blood, don't touch her."
As he spoke, the security team members who were holding her immediately let go in fright.
Yuan Shan's veins bulged, and she was in immense pain. A large amount of dark blood gushed from her mouth like a fountain from the earth. The whites of her eyes also turned dark red, becoming terrifyingly grotesque. She stretched out her right hand towards Bai Xi and Han Mo and said, "Save me, save me, please, save me..."
She felt that she didn't want to die yet!
