Perhaps... it's retribution.

These were McFlurries with stirring spoons.

There were seven such McFlurries.

The McDonald's server stirred them until he doubted his life, his arm moving so fast it almost left afterimages.

He brought them over after stirring two or three at a time, and finally, the two of them came back, each holding a McFlurry.

The smooth ice cream paired with crushed Oreo-style cookies really had a great taste and texture.

After everyone distributed the ice cream, the plastic spoons clinked against the cups, making soft, crisp sounds.

"By the way," Cai Junhuang suddenly put down her spoon and lowered her voice. "Did you all see the stuff about Huang Haoyang that Ma Li sent in the group chat last night?"

As soon as she said that, the atmosphere of eating ice cream instantly changed.

Fang Jun scoffed first, using his spoon to scoop a huge chunk of ice cream and stuffing it into his mouth. "Of course I saw it. I used to really hate the guy, but after what happened to him, I don't know whether to pity him or gloat."

An Yuexin slowly stirred the ice cream in his cup until the cookie crumbs were almost completely blended in. "There was only a short article, so we couldn't see the specific details, but..."

Saying that, An Yuexin silently looked at Lin Mo.

"That guy even cursed Master Mo before."

At those words, everyone's gaze subtly fell upon Lin Mo.

Lin Mo acted as if it had nothing to do with him, scooping up some ice cream and putting it into his mouth. He said in a flat tone, "Maybe it's... karma."

Almost everyone here was from Class Eight, so of course they knew what had happened that day. However, Xie Yuling only knew half the story, and she looked at Lin Mo with confused eyes.

Then she met Lin Mo's gaze.

"I'll tell you when we get back."

Understanding the look in his eyes, Xie Yuling didn't press further and simply became a silent listener.

"What you guys know is just scratching the surface!"

Seeing that she had successfully piqued everyone's curiosity, Cai Junhuang cleared her throat smugly and mysteriously held up a finger.

"I have the inside scoop right here!"

Everyone turned to look at Cai Junhuang. They were very interested in this inside scoop.

"Tell us, hurry up!" Fang Jun's gossiping soul was thoroughly ignited.

Cai Junhuang really enjoyed being the center of attention. She leaned forward and lowered her voice even more.

"A relative of mine is in charge of this case. He came over to my house for dinner last night, had a little to drink, and told us about it."

She paused, dropping a bombshell.

"He said the blood test results came out. Huang Haoyang is only biologically related to one of the deceased."

The air fell silent for a second.

The spoon in Fang Jun's hand stopped in mid-air, and his eyes widened drastically.

"Only one? That means... Holy crap! Huang Haoyang isn't his dad's biological son!"

His speaking speed instantly sped up as the chain of logic rapidly connected in his mind.

"So Huang Haoyang's dad found out he was cuckolded, went crazy, and tried to kill his mom, planning to get rid of the bastard child along the way, but ended up getting counter-killed by Huang Haoyang!"

As expected of a student from a top high school.

His logical deduction was excellent; he would be a great player in a murder mystery game.

"Awesome, bro. That fresh brain of yours really works well."

Cai Junhuang gave Fang Jun a thumbs up.

She nodded. "That's basically it. But that's not even the most shocking part."

Cai Junhuang kept them in suspense long enough before continuing. "The main point is, when the police searched his house, they found out there was a problem with his dad's foreign trade company. They found several ledgers, all filled with smuggling records!"

A collective gasp sounded around them.

Lin Mo listened quietly, but his heart remained completely unbothered.

He knew very well that what Cai Junhuang knew was still too little.

It was far more than just smuggling contraband. Hidden within those ledgers were things that had shattered countless families.

This was also the fundamental reason why Lin Mo had conveniently disposed of Huang Guozhen at the time. For scum like that, living even one more day was a waste of air.

However, Xie Yuling's gaze couldn't help but fall on Lin Mo.

She was clearly worried about something.

She remembered how Lin Mo had told them to go upstairs yesterday afternoon, and she wondered if it was related to this incident.

But Lin Mo still gave her a reassuring look.

Fang Jun was still digesting this massive piece of gossip, his face full of shock. "Family grudges, killing a wife to prove one's Dao, commercial crimes... My god, this plot is enough to make a movie!"

"And Huang Haoyang would have to be the protagonist, finally counter-killing the guy who took over!"

An Yuexin added.

At this time, Jiang Yunlu frowned and said, "If that's the case, won't Huang Haoyang have to stay at the school? Under these circumstances, his transfer probably can't be processed."

"Now that you mention it, that seems true. But he probably wouldn't have the face to continue studying here anyway."

It was then that Cai Junhuang couldn't help but frown and say, "If that guy doesn't leave, it really is a problem. Did you guys know that he used to send me friend requests every single day? I couldn't even be bothered to acknowledge him."

Jiang Yunlu and Chu Miaomiao raised their hands and said, "Me too."

"But he hasn't sent any these past few days," Jiang Yunlu added.

"That kind of person is too disgusting," Cai Junhuang shook her head.

She couldn't help but look up at Lin Mo. "He has technically killed someone now, even if it was self-defense in the end, so you need to be careful."

Cai Junhuang's warning wasn't out of the realm of possibility, and even Jiang Yunlu became a little nervous.

However, Lin Mo waved his hand and said, "Don't worry. After the class division, he will probably be transferred to another class."

Even if Huang Haoyang chose the science track, the school definitely wouldn't let him stay in Class Eight.

Moreover, Lin Mo had placed a mark on him. If this person decided to strive for betterment and stopped pulling little tricks, then Lin Mo wouldn't make a move against him again.

Before long, everyone had finished their McFlurries. After resting for a moment, they continued their shopping trip.

As they were strolling around, Cai Junhuang suddenly cried out in alarm, "Wait, my redemption card... seems to be missing. Let me think for a second!"

Hearing this, everyone stopped in their tracks and looked at Cai Junhuang.

Cai Junhuang lowered her head to recall, then suddenly slapped her forehead.

"I remember now! I was afraid of losing the card, so I just left it in the locker at the dance studio. I'll head back to the dance studio for a bit; you guys can go ahead and redeem your rice dumplings first."

Jiang Yunlu thought for a moment and asked, "Is the dance studio far from here?"

"It's alright, actually just a few hundred meters away," Cai Junhuang said, a bit confused.

"Then we'll go with you. Everyone is just wandering around anyway," Jiang Yunlu continued.

At these words, everyone nodded in agreement.

After all, they really were just window shopping.

"Sounds good, I haven't seen what a dance studio looks like yet."

Fang Jun added.

Seeing that no one minded, Cai Junhuang breathed a sigh of relief. "Let's go then. At this time, there are still people in the dance studio. Classes should be over by now."

Strolling through the mall suddenly turned into accompanying an artistic girl to retrieve her forgotten card.

Walking on the road, Fang Jun couldn't wait to ask a question.

"Bro, would you say the dance studio is full of highly attractive beauties like you?"

Cai Junhuang: "???"
