Of course, the anticipated R-rated scene never appeared, but a certain usually aloof young man felt heavily wounded in his little heart.

The prank manual kept flashing offline, and the atmosphere maintained a certain unspeakable eerie state. When the few of them played until late at night, there was finally a trend of winding down. However, by this time, Su Jiameng was already napping against Gu Ningxuan’s shoulder, her breathing peaceful.

"We can’t play so wildly in the future." Li You, having returned to his usual demeanor, helplessly glared at Gu Ningzhi, who had remained unscathed, raised his hand to check the time on his brain chip, and said, "Remember to report on time, I won’t wait for anyone!"

"No problem, Little Squid!" Gu Ningzhi put away the prank manual, to prevent the few guys it had messed with from freaking out and damaging items.

Gu Ningxuan had already recovered from his injured state, and seeing Su Jiameng’s peaceful sleeping face, his emotions were somewhat complex.

It seemed his luck wasn’t good today; Su Jiameng’s bad luck drew her in, and most likely, he’d be the unlucky one. He actually wanted to roar, was the integrity of this prank manual eaten away? Or is it on sale for three cents a pound? Thank goodness, losing integrity won’t kill anyone!

Guan Changxi seemed dissatisfied that his emotions weren’t complex enough, added salt to the wound, and said very seriously, "Today’s shop accounts haven’t been tidied up, I’ll go check them first. Please, Mr. Gu, ensure the master gets home safely, thank you!"

Gu Ningxuan stared blankly at Changxi; actually, this guy was just afraid of Su Jiameng’s indiscriminate attacks while drunk, right? Tidying up the shop accounts, seriously, this guy really thinks he can’t read accounts? Does such simple accounting really need daily checking?

Nonetheless... in the end, Gu Ningxuan nodded, accepting this lamentable task, "Alright, the butler, take care on your way."

The journey was uneventful, allowing Gu Ningxuan to breathe a sigh of relief and have the leisure to think about today’s events.

He wasn’t a slow-witted person, the attack incident at Xilena First Affiliated School revealed a lot and vaguely indicated that the current Alliance wasn’t as peaceful as it appeared on the surface. He didn’t know whether he should be glad to stay away from such trouble, or lament that he doesn’t have the position and power to intervene in these matters now... Being the third son of the Gu Family came with both pressure and convenience and privilege.

At least... if he were still the third young master of the Gu Family, he could use the family’s power to further investigate the truth.

"We’re home, I’ll call Miss Su Mo to have you brought to your room..." Gu Ningxuan carefully laid Su Jiameng onto the sofa and was about to call Su Mo to care for the drunkard, when he found her gripping his pant leg tightly, "Miss Su?"

"Sit down... I have something to tell you." Su Jiameng pressed her forehead in pain, her face hazy, seemingly troubled by a memory, "Or else, watch out for your own neck!"

Gu Ningxuan secretly smiled wryly, if it were the "Mummy Major General" state, Gu Ningxuan naturally couldn’t resist, even being completely suppressed, but this current Su Jiameng... seemed she wasn’t quite his match.

"What’s the matter?" Gu Ningxuan sat next to her as instructed, keeping a long distance to avoid her suddenly going crazy and pouncing on him.

"About today’s events..." Su Jiameng was much clearer now, and she could smell the heavy scent of alcohol on herself, the scenes from her drunkenness flashing occasionally, causing her face to change repeatedly, "I’m very sorry, it wasn’t intentional... I hope you don’t mind."

Teasing and whatnot, still playing the game till death transformed various teasing, Su Jiameng thought it was remarkable Gu Xiaosan didn’t explode on the spot and instead endured... indeed, the classmate Gu Xiaosan was a very well-behaved, very kind, and very easy-to-bully good young man! 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

It would have been better not to say it, but once mentioned, Gu Ningxuan couldn’t help recalling all kinds of pitfall scenarios at the celebration, his face racing towards the color of a red apple and not looking back, "It’s nothing, nothing I won’t mind... and it was just a game."

"Hmm, thank you for your tolerance." Su Jiameng rubbed her brow again and said, "What do you make of today’s attack incident?"

Talking business, Gu Ningxuan sat up straight, speaking seriously, "It seems highly likely that the Alliance’s high-level insiders instructed it. Of course, we can’t rule out the possibility of confidential information leaked, enabling those escapees... in short, there’s definitely more to it."

"Hmm, I think so too." Su Jiameng said lightly and then didn’t linger on the topic, instead asking, "Gu Ningxuan, I’m a bit curious, what do you plan to do from now on? I can see you won’t stay here for the long term..."
