88: Chapter 88 The "Tacit Understanding" Between the Minister of Discipline and the Vice President

The midday sun was somewhat blinding, casting mottled light through the gaps in the blinds onto the desk of the Discipline Minister.

Xiao Xiao carelessly set the black drone, which was still slightly warm, to the side.

She picked up the iced Americano on the desk and took a sharp gulp, as if trying to calm her nerves.

"Haa..."

This sigh was exceptionally long, carrying thirty percent shock, thirty percent disbelief, and forty percent excitement at having "caught a big fish."

Just a few minutes ago, she had only been going through the motions.

Maneuvering this newly purchased "patrol artifact," she had been wandering aimlessly through the various blind spots of the campus.

She had intended to catch a couple of wild lovebirds making out in the small woods to deduct some points and boost her performance metrics.

Who could have imagined that this flight would uncover such a "shocking scandal."

Xiao Xiao's fingers slid rapidly across the tablet, pulling up the automatically saved recording from just moments ago.

She crudely dragged the progress bar to the final few minutes.

It was a surveillance blind spot in the corner of the playground, piled high with discarded high-jump mats and rusty hurdle frames.

The light was very dim, filled with heavy shadows.

At first, only two figures could be seen entangled together in the frame.

One standing, one crouching.

"Bullying? Picking on someone? Forcing them to kneel?"

At first, Xiao Xiao thought it was campus bullying.

Filled with a sense of justice, she had almost maneuvered the drone into a "kamikaze" style crash to save the victim.

Fortunately, she held back.

As the drone's camera zoomed in and the image stabilized, she finally saw what the "victim" was doing.

That wasn't being bullied at all.

That was clearly... that was!!

"What the f***..."

Xiao Xiao couldn't help it; a curse word slipped out.

The scene was too impactful; for a pure girl like her who had only read theoretical knowledge, it was a nuclear-level blow.

But that wasn't even the most explosive part.

The most explosive part was that she recognized the side profile of the girl crouching on the ground.

Although the image was a bit blurry, that iconic long hair, and that dress which looked like it had excellent texture even in the shadows...

There was absolutely no mistake.

It was Su Muxue.

That Miss Su, the famous campus belle of the entire school, gentle and dignified, with a family that had a gold mine!

Rumor had it that half the bricks in this new office building were donated by her family.

"My god..."

Xiao Xiao felt her worldview shattering into pieces, impossible to put back together.

That Miss Su, who usually spoke in whispers and walked as if she were afraid of stepping on ants.

In private, she was actually this... this unrestrained?

This wild?

If this got out, it would definitely shatter the dreams of every boy in the school, and the forum would crash for three days and three nights.

As for that boy...

Xiao Xiao zoomed in on the image several times, squinting and leaning close to the screen to carefully identify him.

Unfortunately.

The angle was too tricky.

It was an aerial view from the drone, and since the boy had been leaning in the shadows of the wall corner, only a blurry back of the head and half a side profile were visible.

The facial features couldn't be seen clearly.

But that didn't matter.

What mattered was that this was a serious disciplinary issue!

This was a desecration of the sacred campus!

This was openly engaging in lewd behavior in a public place!

Xiao Xiao felt a surge of hot blood rush to her head, the little flame of justice burning fiercely in her chest.

"Must handle this! Must take heavy action!"

She slapped the table and stood up abruptly.

But the next second, she sat back down dejectedly.

Handle it? How to handle it?

That was Su Muxue.

If she reported it directly to the school's Academic Affairs Office, those old slickers would probably just laugh it off.

At most, they would call Miss Su in, have a cup of tea, and gently remind her to "mind her influence next time."

And then?

And then there would be no then.

It might even backfire on her, the whistleblower.

She had seen plenty of this "the law does not apply to the nobility" nonsense.

"No, I can't just let it go like this."

Xiao Xiao bit her straw, her eyes rolling around.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration crossed her mind.

A figure appeared before her eyes.

Jiang Mengshu.

The Vice President of the Student Union.

That decisive, impartial woman who couldn't tolerate a single grain of sand in her eyes.

She was also Xiao Xiao's only idol in this school.

If it were Senior Jiang...

She certainly wouldn't fear the Su Family's power!

She would certainly enforce the law impartially!

And, if she handed this "blockbuster bomb" to her, wouldn't that prove her own capability?

Wouldn't she get praise from Senior Jiang?

Maybe she would even get a head pat?

Thinking of this, the dejection Xiao Xiao had just felt vanished instantly.

She grabbed the tablet, like a little pirate holding a treasure map, and rushed out of the office excitedly.

Target: Vice President's office!

...

In the corridor.

Xiao Xiao walked with the wind in her feet, her mind filled with the surprised and appreciative expression Jiang Mengshu would have after seeing the video.

"Hehe, I've made a huge contribution this time!"

She had even started to construct her opening line for later.

It had to sound professional and full of persistence for justice.

Even if the other party is Su Muxue, I will never tolerate it!

This is the dignity of our Discipline Department!

...

"Knock, knock, knock!"

The knocking was urgent and forceful.

"Come in."

Jiang Mengshu's cold, capable voice came from inside.

Xiao Xiao took a deep breath and pushed the door open.

Jiang Mengshu was sitting behind her desk, holding a cup of steaming black coffee.

Seeing it was Xiao Xiao, she raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes carrying a trace of inquiry.

"What's wrong? In such a rush."

"Did someone fight on campus? Or is someone making noise in the library?"

Her tone was flat, with a hint of nonchalance.

Clearly, she didn't think this boisterous junior could bring anything of real importance.

"Neither! Vice President, something big happened!"

Xiao Xiao rushed to the desk and slapped the tablet onto it like she was presenting a treasure.

"Look at this!"

"I filmed this while I was patrolling with the drone just now!"

"It's simply outrageous! Someone is actually doing this... this shameless thing in the corner of the playground in broad daylight!"

While condemning it righteously, Xiao Xiao skillfully clicked the play button.

Jiang Mengshu put down her coffee cup.

Her gaze swept faintly toward the screen.

At first, her expression didn't change at all.

She even felt a little like laughing.

Students these days really had too much energy.

This kind of thing, she caught a few pairs every semester; what was the big deal?

However.

When the image froze on that boy's side profile.

Jiang Mengshu's hand holding the coffee cup stopped abruptly.

Her originally nonchalant pupils instantly contracted into pinpricks.

Even if the image quality was as garbage as a mosaic.

Even if the light was as dark as a haunted house.

Even if there was only a blurry outline.

She still recognized that person in 0.01 seconds.

Huang Mao.

Jiang Mengshu's heartbeat skipped a beat in that instant.

Then, an indescribable electric current rushed from her tailbone straight to the top of her head.

It was excitement.

It was trembling.

It was a dark light mixed with extreme jealousy and twisted pleasure, exploding wildly in the depths of her eyes.

"So... it's you?"

Jiang Mengshu muttered to herself in her heart.

The corners of her mouth hooked into a playful arc uncontrollably.

Half-smiling.

Carrying a hint of danger.

"President... you really gave me a big surprise."

"On campus? In broad daylight? In the corner of the playground?"

"When did you become so... wild?"

Her gaze was locked tightly on the boy's face on the screen.

As for the girl crouching on the ground...

Jiang Mengshu didn't even look at her properly at first.

Subconsciously, she thought it was Leng Qingxuan.

After all, Huang Mao had just come to beg her for that Iceberg Campus Belle yesterday.

She had also just found out about them living together not long ago.

"Hmph, that hypocrite Leng Qingxuan, she can actually do this in private?"

A sense of sourness rose in Jiang Mengshu's heart.

But more so, it was a sense of stimulation after being "betrayed."

However.

When she finally shifted her gaze down a little and saw the girl's figure clearly.

Her pupils shook again.

No.

This figure... this hairstyle...

It wasn't Leng Qingxuan!

Although Leng Qingxuan also had a good figure, it was definitely not this... exaggerated.

And the softness of this side profile...

It was Su Muxue?!

That eldest daughter of the Su Family?

That Su Muxue who looked more harmless than a little white rabbit?

"Click."

The coffee cup in her hand tapped lightly on the desktop, making a crisp sound.

Jiang Mengshu's fingers were trembling slightly.

Not because of anger.

But because... it was too stimulating.

So it wasn't just Leng Qingxuan.

There was actually Su Muxue too?

President, how many good sisters have you provoked behind my back?

And...

Looking at Huang Mao's enjoying expression on the screen.

Looking at Su Muxue's humble and obsessed posture.

Jiang Mengshu felt a switch inside her body being completely turned on.

An unprecedented, morbid sense of satisfaction flooded her like a tide.

She wanted to watch.

Wanted to watch more.

Wanted to see every expression he revealed in front of other women.

Wanted to know if, at times like this, he would also be like he was in high school, frowning, sighing, but unable to refuse?

"Vice President? Vice President?"

Xiao Xiao's voice pulled Jiang Mengshu back from that strange excitement.

"You're also very angry, right?"

"This Su Muxue usually acts like a saint, I didn't expect her to be so unrestrained in private!"

"It's simply corrupting the school spirit!"

Xiao Xiao didn't notice the strangeness in Jiang Mengshu's eyes at all.

She only saw the hand holding the cup shaking.

Naturally, she assumed it was from anger.

After all, Senior Jiang was famous for not being able to tolerate a grain of sand in her eyes!

Jiang Mengshu took a deep breath.

Blinked.

Instantly, the crazy emotions in her eyes were perfectly restrained.

Replacing them was the cold, capable, and official look she had on weekdays.

"Indeed... a bit."

She spoke faintly, her voice steady without a ripple.

"This matter has a very bad influence."

"If not handled properly, once it spreads, it will cause devastating damage to the school's reputation."

As she spoke, she raised her head, her gaze fixed on Xiao Xiao.

Her eyes carried an unquestionable pressure.

"Xiao Xiao."

"Yes."

Xiao Xiao straightened her back subconsciously.

"Send the original file of this video to my private email, now, immediately."

Jiang Mengshu's tone didn't allow for refusal.

"Then."

She paused, leaning forward slightly, full of oppressive force.

"Delete all backups, originals, and caches on your device in front of me."

"Completely format it."

"Huh?"

Xiao Xiao was stunned for a moment.

"Delete... delete it?"

"But this is evidence! Shouldn't we..."

"Can't you understand what I'm saying?"

Jiang Mengshu interrupted her, her voice colder.

"A video involving student privacy like this must never remain on your private device."

"What if your tablet is lost? What if it's hacked?"

"Once it leaks, if the Su Family pursues it, do you think the school can protect you?"

"I will handle this matter personally."

"Your task now is to forget everything you just saw and destroy the source."

"That is an order."

These words were said grandiosely and flawlessly.

It directly fooled the naive Xiao Xiao.

"Yes! I understand!"

Xiao Xiao was startled.

Although she felt it was a pity, the Vice President was right!

If this leaked, wouldn't she be done for?

It was safest to let the Vice President handle it!

And so.

Under the gaze of Jiang Mengshu's sharp eyes.

Xiao Xiao had no doubts.

Her fingers operated rapidly.

Sent the email.

Emptied the recycle bin.

Formatted the memory card.

The whole sequence of moves was smooth and fluid.

"Okay, Vice President, it's all deleted!"

Xiao Xiao held up the tablet like a soldier waiting for inspection.

Jiang Mengshu glanced at the empty folder, nodded with satisfaction, and a subtle smile hooked the corners of her mouth.

"Well done."

"You don't need to worry about this matter anymore, go out."

"Remember, let it rot in your stomach."

"Yes!"

Xiao Xiao got the praise, although it was only four words, she still walked out holding the tablet with satisfaction.

She even thoughtfully helped close the door.

...

"Click."

The sound of the door lock falling was exceptionally clear in the quiet office.

Jiang Mengshu didn't move immediately.

She sat in the chair, quietly listening to Xiao Xiao's footsteps fade away.

Until she was sure there was no one else outside the door.

She stood up slowly.

Walked to the door, reached out, and locked it.

"Click."

After doing all this, she walked back to the desk.

Sat down.

Opened the computer.

Clicked on the email she had just received.

Downloaded the attachment.

Played it.

On the screen, that dim and blurry scene appeared again.

This time, there were no outsiders present.

Jiang Mengshu completely took off all her disguises.

She leaned back in her chair, legs crossed.

Her gaze stared greedily at the boy on the screen.

Once.

Twice.

Three times.

She repeatedly dragged the progress bar.

Watching him raise his head in the shadows.

Watching him seem to resist, but ultimately sink into it.

That expression of being forced, helpless, yet enjoying it.

It was simply the top-tier aphrodisiac.

"Heh..."

A soft laugh spilled from the depths of her throat.

Carrying a hint of hoarseness.

Jiang Mengshu extended a slender, fair finger.

Gently touched the cold screen.

Slowly caressing that blurry side profile.

Just as if she were stroking a lover's face.

"Su Muxue..."

"Leng Qingxuan..."

"And that childhood sweetheart from high school seems to be there too..."

"President, your surroundings are truly lively."

Her fingertips applied pressure, her fingernails scratching a shallow mark on the screen.

The light in her eyes was dark and deep.

"But it doesn't matter."

"This video now belongs only to me."

"This is your handle."

"And also... the joy I enjoy exclusively."

"You can't escape."

"My... President."
