You've made your bed, now lie in it.

The principal continued in a frosty tone, "So, no matter how much you beg me, it is useless."

"Pack your things and leave the school."

After saying this, the principal walked out of the office.

Chen Mo slumped weakly to the floor, his face so pale it was almost entirely drained of blood.

"Professor."

He grabbed the hem of his advisor's clothes and pleaded, "Please, I beg you, put in a good word for me with the principal."

"Chen Mo, this is President Su's decision. I am just a lowly doctoral advisor; I cannot help you. And even if I could, I wouldn't," the advisor said expressionless.

A student like Chen Mo was too insidious. Who knew if he would frame someone else in the future?

Lin Xuan had the strength to handle it, and with President Su's protection, he could turn danger into safety.

But what about other ordinary students?

She could not condone keeping such a hazard within the school.

"Chen Mo, look out for yourself from now on."

The advisor looked at Chen Mo, sighed, shook her head, and sat back down at her desk.

Chen Mo's life was effectively ruined.

And it was entirely his own doing.

Lin Xuan was the boss of the Tianmu Group, the pride of the school, and the boyfriend of the Su Group's President.

Chen Mo was seeking his own death by trying to harm Lin Xuan, wasn't he?

Chen Mo didn't know how long he sat in that office. Eventually, dazed and confused, he stumbled out.

He walked through the campus under the blazing sun.

His face was ashen.

The news that Chen Mo had colluded with Yundu University to move against Lin Xuan had already spread across the school forums.

The students looked at Chen Mo with expressions of unmasked contempt.

"Isn't that Chen Mo? How disgusting. He received training from Shangqing University, yet he ran off to join forces with Yundu University to attack Lin Xuan. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you."

"It's a good thing Chen Mo was expelled. Otherwise, just being classmates with him would make me sick."

"Pah! To think I actually liked him for a while. I must have been blind!"

"Right? Me too. I had a crush on him, but after Lin Xuan appeared, I stopped liking him. I consider that my dark history now."

Chen Mo looked decent enough on the outside, but who expected his character to be so vile?

He actually dared to slander and smear Lin Xuan!

There were many, many fangirls of Lin Xuan in the school, and quite a few fanboys as well.

If this were on the street, they probably would have thrown rotten eggs at Chen Mo by now.

"Chen Mo, you're gross!"

"Chen Mo, get out of our school!"

"Shameless!"

Insult after insult drilled into Chen Mo's ears.

Chen Mo's brain buzzed incessantly.

Seeing the students pointing fingers at him from all directions, he could barely stand steady.

Although his family background was poor, his grades had always been excellent since childhood. Coupled with his good looks, he had always been sought after.

This was the first time Chen Mo had ever experienced being verbally abused by so many people.

"I didn't," Chen Mo covered his ears, breaking down as he spoke. "I just wanted the chip project to be destroyed; I never intended to target Lin Xuan personally!"

He had never imagined that in just a few short hours, Lin Xuan's problem would be solved, while he, Mr. Wang, and the principal of Yundu University would all be disposed of...

"Heh, I think you're just jealous of Lin Xuan's talent," one of the students sneered.

"Exactly. Lin Xuan is a computer god and even opened one of the top-ranking major companies in Yundu. Can you even compare to him? And you have the nerve to frame him."

Chen Mo felt cold all over.

Chen Ting and Lin Jingyue were also present at the scene.

Chen Ting curled her lips. "Truly disgusting. To actually target Lin Xuan."

Fortunately, Lin Xuan had President Su protecting him.

Lin Xuan had also made thorough arrangements himself; otherwise, he might have actually fallen into Chen Mo's trap.

Lin Jingyue's expression was also very ugly.

Her gaze toward Chen Mo was heavy.

"Yueyue." Chen Mo noticed Lin Jingyue and strode quickly toward her. "Did you also hear about what happened between me and Lin Xuan?"

Chen Ting scoffed coldly, "So what if Jingyue knows?"

"Yueyue."

Chen Mo tried to grab Lin Jingyue's hand.

As soon as he touched her arm, Lin Jingyue violently shook him off.

"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't touch me. We aren't close," Lin Jingyue said coldly.

"Yueyue."

Chen Mo explained, "Everything I did, I did for you. The chip and photolithography machine project involves high-precision technology. Relying on just a few of you college students, it would be impossible to research successfully. I didn't want you to waste your time."

"Also, you are so wonderful; Lin Xuan would definitely have designs on you. That's why I didn't want you two working on the same project together. For these two reasons, I didn't want the project to continue."

"I couldn't accomplish it with my strength alone, so I thought of letting Yundu University intervene. Yueyue, everything I did was for you."

Chen Mo spoke with deep emotion and sincerity.

"Urgh—" Chen Ting gagged dramatically.

"Chen Mo, do you have no shame saying these things? Saying it was for Jingyue? I think you did it because you were jealous of Lin Xuan. Doing it 'for Jingyue' is just your excuse."

Chen Ting didn't find it strange that Chen Mo liked Lin Jingyue.

Lin Jingyue was the beauty of the department and the daughter of the Huasheng Group family.

With both looks and family background, there were plenty of men in the school who liked her. It was normal for Chen Mo to be one of them.

"I didn't! You aren't me, so how would you know my thoughts?" Chen Mo glared gloomily at Chen Ting.

After speaking, he turned back to look at Lin Jingyue with deep affection.

"Yueyue, don't listen to her nonsense. Everything I did really was just for you."

"Chen Mo, fine. Even if everything you did was for me, it doesn't change the fact that your character is despicable," Lin Jingyue said coldly.

She knew Chen Mo liked her, and she had initially felt a slight favorable impression of him.

She had originally planned to observe Chen Mo for a while longer before deciding whether or not to be with him.

As it turned out, Chen Mo used such underhanded means. Setting aside his lack of integrity, the mere fact that he targeted Lin Xuan was something she could not tolerate.

"Chen Mo, it is impossible for me to ever like you. You'd best give up on that idea." Lin Jingyue's eyes were icy.

"Jingyue, you can't be so cruel. I've fallen to this state all because of you. You can't abandon me," Chen Mo said anxiously.

He grabbed Lin Jingyue's hand again.

"Chen Mo, let go of me," Lin Jingyue struggled.

"Yueyue, really, my heart for you is true. Just give me one chance, okay?" Chen Mo pleaded.

Many people in the school already couldn't stand Chen Mo because of the Lin Xuan incident.

This time, seeing him harass Lin Jingyue, they stepped forward without hesitation.

They pulled Chen Mo away.
