He went directly to the school forum and registered a new account with the title: "About the Rumors Surrounding the Class Flower, Let Me Say a Few Words." The content of the post was concise; he detailed how Su Wanqing had encouraged him to pursue the Class Flower, and how, after he rejected her advances, she became angry and spread rumors about him. To increase credibility, he attached screenshots of their chat history.
Once the post was published, it immediately caused a stir. The onlookers, who were already buzzing with gossip about the Class Flower, erupted into chaos upon seeing concrete evidence.
What the hell! It's that green tea bitch Su Wanqing behind this!
I knew it! The Class Flower may be playful, but she wouldn't stoop this low.
I feel sorry for the Class Flower, being toyed with by a scumbag and then backstabbed by her best friend.
Public opinion shifted dramatically, with many condemning Su Wanqing. Some even dug up her past scandals, and in no time, she became the target of everyone's ire.
Mu Yunze felt somewhat relieved as he read the comments on the forum. He hadn't expected things to escalate so quickly; it seemed that justice was indeed on the side of the majority.
However, the uproar on the forum did not ease Mu Yunze's mind. He knew this was just the calm before the storm. Su Wanqing's revenge was likely just beginning.
Sure enough, the next day, Mu Yunze was summoned to the student council office. Sitting across from him was Zhang Xiaowei, the handsome and capable president of the student council—a prominent figure on campus.
During the previous election for Vice President of the Student Council, Mu Yunze had narrowly lost to him, and they had maintained a competitive relationship ever since. Zhang Xiaowei also had a good impression of the Class Flower; this incident undoubtedly provided him an opportunity to strike at Mu Yunze.
"Mu Yunze, your actions have caused significant damage to the school's reputation," Zhang Xiaowei said coldly, his tone laced with condescension.
Mu Yunze met his gaze fearlessly. "I was merely stating facts. Is it wrong to defend my own rights?"
"Facts? What evidence do you have that Su Wanqing spread rumors? Just a few screenshots of your chat? That's rather childish," Zhang Xiaowei sneered. "This is defamation; do you realize that? I could sue you!"
Mu Yunze's heart sank. He indeed lacked solid evidence; all he had were chat records with Su Wanqing, which did not prove she was spreading rumors. He had underestimated Zhang Xiaowei's cunning and overestimated the school's sense of justice.
"I advise you to admit your mistake and apologize to Su Wanqing. That way, I might consider a lighter punishment," Zhang Xiaowei said, his tone softening slightly but a hint of malice flickering in his eyes.
Mu Yunze understood that this was a trap set by Zhang Xiaowei. If he apologized, it would be tantamount to admitting defamation, and he would never be able to hold his head high in school again.
"I did nothing wrong; why should I apologize?" Mu Yunze replied firmly, refusing to back down.
"Fine! Fine!" Zhang Xiaowei laughed in anger. "Since you refuse my kindness, don't blame me for being rude!"
In the following days, Mu Yunze's life turned into hell. The student council punished him under various pretenses.
What made it even harder for him to accept was that he noticed someone was following him. Every time he left class or went out, he could feel a pair of eyes watching him from behind. He suspected that Zhang Xiaowei had sent someone to keep tabs on him, but he had no proof.
