Chapter 35:

What's the deal with this video?

10 minutes ago
Inside the elevator, the class monitor and another student, Xiao Su, were secretly observing the man who was about to take them to the parking lot.
The man was tall and handsome, and he had just driven them to the hospital in a luxury car; it was obvious at a glance that he was a person of great wealth and status.
Although Ms. Li addressed him as “Mr. Mo” throughout the conversation, and the two did not engage in any intimate actions, the man’s eyes were constantly lingering on Ms. Li, making it clear that he must be one of Ms. Li’s suitors.
Although boys of this age don’t enjoy reading romance novels or fantasize as much as girls, their gossipy nature shouldn’t be underestimated!
Ms. Li is beautiful and gentle, and can be described as a goddess-level figure in their school. Many students have a crush on her, and sometimes they discuss in private what kind of person is worthy of their goddess. Today, seeing this man standing with Ms. Li, one can’t help but sigh that they are a perfect match!
But I wonder if this handsome guy will succeed in winning the heart of the beauty?
At this moment, Xiao Su could no longer contain herself. She cleared her throat and asked Victor Mo in front of her , “Brother, are you pursuing our teacher, Ms. Li?”
Upon hearing this, the class monitor inwardly gave Xiao Su a thumbs up. Xiao Su was truly bold, daring to ask the question that had been bothering him all night. The man in front of him had such a strong presence that he hadn’t dared to speak to him, even though he was also very curious about the man’s relationship with their teacher, Ms. Li.
Victor Mo turned to look at the two boys behind him, raised an eyebrow, twitched his lips, and gave a soft “hmm” in response.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Su chuckled, confirming his suspicions. She then said with a grin, “Then you’ll have quite a few rivals in love!”
Victor Mo became interested upon hearing this, looked at him, and raised his eyebrows to signal him to continue.
“Ms. Li is the dream girl of many people. Mr. Zhang from our physics group has had a crush on her for a long time, as has Ms. Huang from the Chinese group, who always finds various excuses to get close to Ms. Li, and…”
Xiao Su wanted to continue speaking when, with a “ding,” the elevator arrived at the first floor. The class monitor tugged at his sleeve, signaling him not to say too much.
Outside the elevator, someone was pushing a wheelchair and waiting to go in. Victor Mo and the two boys stopped their previous conversation and went straight to the parking lot.
In the parking lot, the driver, Xiao, had been waiting for a long time. As soon as he saw Victor Mo, he respectfully greeted him as “Mr. Mo”.
Victor Mo lit a cigarette, he instructed the driver, “Take them back to Z first.”
The driver nodded and opened the back door for them to get in.
Just before getting on the bus, the class monitor looked up at the man who was a head and a half taller than him and said, “Brother, thank you for today.” Then he turned and got on the bus. After the class monitor got on, Xiao Su held onto the bus door and smiled at Victor Mo , saying, “Brother, to thank you for taking Xiao Pang to the hospital, I’ll secretly tell you that our teacher, Ms. Li, really likes rock climbing. If you ask her to go rock climbing next time, you’re sure to win her over.” After saying that, she winked at Victor Mo and bent down to get on the bus.
Victor Mo watched the Mercedes drive away, a slight smile playing on his lips. He didn’t think those so-called “love rivals” at school posed any threat to him, but these two boys were quite interesting. It was clear that Serena Li usually got along well with the students.
that Serena Li enjoyed rock climbing. Seeing her so quiet, it was surprising that she liked such a challenging sport! It seemed she had many unique qualities waiting to be discovered!
Meanwhile, Serena Li, who was outside the operating room , had no idea that her student had already told Victor Mo about her preferences .
After Xiao Zeng was wheeled in for surgery, her heart, which had been racing all night, finally calmed down.
meeting Victor Mo , all she had seen was flattery from others, and he didn’t seem like a warm-hearted person to her before. But the moment he picked up Xiao Zeng and rushed to the emergency room, she realized that he was down-to-earth, not a high-and-mighty CEO of a big company, but just an ordinary man who would do his best to help someone in need.
Whether his actions tonight were to help others or to please her, she was grateful to him. Without his help, she was afraid she wouldn’t have been able to get Xiao Zeng to the hospital in time, nor would she have been able to arrange the surgery so quickly.
At this moment, the man was with her while she waited for the surgery to end. When she met his dark eyes, she inexplicably felt at ease.
Serena Li thought that he had just returned from a business trip and must be very tired, so she said, “Mr. Mo, thank you very much for today. It’s very late now, and you have to work tomorrow, so you should go home first! The student’s parents will be here soon.”
After saying that, she pulled her hand away from his grasp.
Victor Mo looked at her and spoke gently, “Serena, how can I leave you here alone to wait at a time like this!”
His eyes were gentle yet profound; looking into them for too long felt like they could draw you in.
Serena Li turned her face away a little embarrassed. Just then, her phone, which was on the chair, vibrated. She saw that it was Teacher Xu calling, so she picked up her phone and went to the window to answer it.
After the call ended, a person walked quickly from the end of the corridor. Serena Li recognized him as the grade director.
The director approached Serena Li , wiped the sweat from his brow, and asked, “Li, how long has Zeng been in there?”
Serena Li said, “It’s been about 30 minutes. Teacher Xu just called and I told her not to come here. Her son has contracted hand, foot and mouth disease and is at the children’s hospital. I estimate that Zeng’s parents will be here soon.”
After exchanging a few words, the head of the grade noticed Victor Mo sitting to the side and asked Serena Li , “And who is this?”
Serena Li said, “My friend, Mr. Mo, brought us here in time today. It was thanks to him that Xiao Zeng was able to get the surgery arranged so quickly.”
Upon hearing this, the director immediately stepped forward to express his gratitude.
The director sized up Victor Mo , and could tell at a glance that this man was no ordinary person, but he didn’t ask any questions. Instead, he said a lot of polite things.
Soon after, Zeng’s parents arrived.
The surgery ended after midnight. After Zeng was moved into the ward, Serena Li and the grade head left.
As they came out, the director glanced at Serena Li and asked, “Li, is that your boyfriend?”
Serena Li immediately said, “No.”
The doctor smiled and didn’t press further, but he already understood somewhat. Being sent to the hospital in the middle of the night and then sent home after the surgery meant he must be either her boyfriend or a suitor!
In the elevator, the director, knowing that Serena Li had no classes the next morning, granted her a half-day off, telling her to go to school in the afternoon, and then went to the underground parking garage to drive home.
Serena Li arrived at the parking lot in front of the emergency building, she saw Victor Mo leaning against the hood of his car, smoking.
Victor Mo saw her coming, he stubbed out his cigarette and opened the passenger door to let her in.
The Bentley drove through the streets at midnight, and there were very few cars on the road.
Serena Li rested her elbow on the car window, watching the scenery rushing past. Suddenly, she remembered that he had said he needed to talk to her last night, so she turned to Victor Mo and asked, “What did you mean by talking about Frank Wang last night?”
Victor Mo glanced at him, his expression inscrutable, and said calmly, “You still remember that villa where he took you to that private restaurant last time, right?”
“How do you know about this? Is there something wrong with that villa?” Serena Li asked in surprise, partly because she was puzzled that Victor Mo knew about the meal, and partly because she was pondering the implication in his words and suddenly felt that there was something wrong with that private restaurant.
Just then, the light ahead turned red. Victor Mo took out his phone, pulled up a video, and handed it to Serena Li , saying, “Take a look at this.”
Serena Li took it, looked at him with a puzzled expression, and then opened the video.
The video appears to have been secretly filmed; the image is a bit shaky and not very clear, but anyone who has been there can tell that the location was the entrance to that private restaurant.
Serena Li watched patiently. For the first two minutes, there was little movement, with only one or two cars occasionally passing by. But in the third minute, Serena Li saw herself appear in the frame, with Frank Wang following behind. Although it was dark in the night market and the filming was done secretly, their faces were not very clear. But if someone knew them, they would know who they were at a glance.
This was the scene when Frank Wang escorted her to the villa. Seeing this, Serena Li was filled with questions, and she had a bad feeling.
In the video, the two maintained a distance, but at 3 minutes and 30 seconds, Frank Wang made a gesture of supporting her waist. Serena Li remembers that at that time, she seemed to have tripped over something. When Frank Wang tried to support her, she had already steadied herself and cleverly avoided his hand. However, from the angle of the candid shot, it looked like she was supporting her waist.
At this moment, her hand holding the phone trembled slightly. Although she knew it was just a matter of the angle of the shot, she knew that if someone with ulterior motives took advantage of it, they could make up stories and say it was “ambiguous”.
Serena Li, her face pale, glanced up at Victor Mo. The man in the driver’s seat had exquisitely handsome features, deep and reserved, his expression calm and unreadable, focused solely on driving.
The video is over 5 minutes long. In the next 2 minutes, Serena Li sees a Mercedes-Benz van arrive at the villa after she gets in the car. She remembers seeing a government official get out of the van then. But what she didn’t expect was that as soon as the car that took her home drove away, two young and beautiful women dressed in revealing clothes got out of the Mercedes-Benz. After the women went into the villa, the video ended.
The two women who came down last were clearly not respectable women, judging from their attire. Serena Li recalled how someone rushed to Frank Wang to report something towards the end of the meal, and now she knew exactly what was going to happen at the villa . It seemed this wasn’t the first time something like this had happened, even though she’d only eaten there once; the thought still made her feel disgusted.
But how did Victor Mo get this video? And what was his intention in showing it to her? Serena Li couldn’t quite imagine.
Her feelings were incredibly complex; shock, panic, helplessness, and anger all swept through her mind.
I closed my eyes and considered several possibilities.
After a moment, having calmed down a bit, she turned to Victor Mo and asked, “What’s the deal with this video?”
