Lin Mo was stunned for a moment after hearing what Mu Zhaozhao said. He turned his gaze toward Wang Haoran and sized him up carefully.
This guy had a face that just screamed scumbag. One look and you could tell he wasnât a good person. Even the way he spoke earlier felt off, like he was giving orders to the pretty girl standing in front of him.
Lin Mo already had his own judgment in mind. He looked at Mu Zhaozhao and spoke earnestly. âDonât be afraid. Iâm your teaching assistant. If someone bullies you, you have to speak up. Keeping it hidden will only encourage bad people to become worse. Do you understand?â
Of course, only a small part of that came from a teacherâs responsibility. The real reason was that if he helped this girl, the system might reward him with approval points.
And most importantly, this baby-faced girl with the knockout figure looked amazing. Lin Mo was absolutely craving her.
If he helped her now, sheâd definitely be grateful. That would give him the chance to take things further down the line.
Just thinking about that made his blood run hot.
Mu Zhaozhao couldnât help feeling annoyed when she saw how seriously he was taking this. She sighed and said, âWe really were just joking around. Itâs not what you think.â
But Lin Mo didnât believe her. He figured she might just be afraid, so he turned toward Wang Haoran and said, âCome with me to the office.â
He wanted to go straight to the source. If he could educate this guy properly, then Mu Zhaozhao would feel safe again.
Wang Haoran frowned as something didnât sit right with him.
His villain aura was supposed to be strong enough to crush small-time characters and side roles without any trouble.
So what was up with this guy? Why was this teacher acting so high and mighty in front of him? Did he think he was the protagonist or something?
With that thought, Wang Haoran used some of his villain points to check the guyâs status.
ăProtagonist: Lin Moă

âCome with me,â Lin Mo said sternly as he stepped forward.
Wang Haoran, who had just finished reading the profile, narrowed his eyes.
A mere teaching assistant dared to point fingers at him? Now that he knew this guy was a protagonist, there was no way he was going to be polite.
âYouâve got a lot of nerve, acting like youâre somebody,â Wang Haoran said coldly. âJust a lousy teaching assistant, and you think you can lecture me?â
âYouâre out of lineâ, Lin Mo snapped. âYouâre talking to a teacher here.â
âAssistant or not, youâre still just someone who does the grunt work. Donât flatter yourself. If you think youâre in any position to discipline me, youâre dead wrong.â
âYouâŠâ Lin Mo was at a loss for words.
As a teaching assistant, his authority really was limited. It sounded noble to call it a teaching job, but at the end of the day, it was just support work.
âFine. If I canât deal with you, Professor Liu Yue definitely will.â
He let out a cold snort and then softened his tone as he turned back to Mu Zhaozhao.
âDonât worry, Iâll make sure justice is done.â
With that, he grabbed his freshly written lesson plan and headed toward Liu Yueâs office.
Mu Zhaozhao had still been hoping to explain, but Lin Mo left so quickly that she had no chance. She was left standing there, feeling helpless and full of regret for what had started as a simple joke.
âThat assistant is so stubborn. He wonât even listen to an explanation, and now heâs going to tattle on you. What do we do now?â she asked nervously.
Wang Haoran pulled out his phone, opened his contacts, and pointed to a number. âCall this one. Tell her a teaching assistant named Lin Mo tried to molest you.â
âWhat?â Mu Zhaozhao blinked in surprise.
âJust do it,â Wang Haoran urged with a bit more force.
âO-okay.â She didnât understand why, but seeing how serious he was, she took out her phone and made the call.
âHello? This is Liu Yue.â A calm voice answered on the other end.
Mu Zhaozhao immediately understood and put on a soft, trembling tone. âProfessor Liu, someone⊠someone molested me⊠sobâŠâ
âWho was it?â Liu Yue asked quickly.
âA teaching assistant. I think his name is Lin Mo,â she replied.
âCome to my office right now and explain everything to me,â Liu Yue said seriously.
âOkay.â Mu Zhaozhao hung up and turned to Wang Haoran. âSo what now? Do I really have to go to her office?â
âOf course,â Wang Haoran nodded.
He glanced around to make sure no one was nearby, then reached out and messed up her hair. He even wrinkled her clothes, making her look disheveled.
Once he was satisfied with her messy appearance, he stepped back to look her over.
Mu Zhaozhao rolled her eyes at him but didnât stop him. She got the point. To make it convincing, she even dabbed a bit of spit under her eyes so it looked like she had been crying.
Then she turned and walked toward Liu Yueâs office.
Meanwhile, Lin Mo was halfway there, muttering under his breath.
âWhy didnât I get any approval points?â
He stood up so righteously for that girl. He thought the system would surely reward him. So why was there no response?
But before he could think too much about it, he arrived at Liu Yueâs door. He shook off the doubt and focused his attention.
Right now, all he wanted was to teach a lesson to that guy with the scumbag face.
He knocked and stepped inside, about to report what happened.
But before he could say anything, Liu Yue looked up and asked, âDid you molest a student?â
Lin Mo froze for a second and quickly said, âHow could I possibly do something like that? Who told you that?â
Before she could respond, a sobbing voice came from outside the door.
He turned around and saw that baby-faced girl with the stunning figure walking in, tears in her eyes.
âZhaozhao, is it him?â Liu Yue asked, pointing to Lin Mo.
âYes. Heâs the one who molested me. He grabbed my hair, pulled at my clothes, and rubbed my⊠myâŠâ Mu Zhaozhao trailed off and broke down crying again, looking utterly heartbroken.
Lin Mo stood there dumbfounded. He looked at her and said, âI stood up for you. Why are you turning around and accusing me? Did that guy put you up to this?â
âWhatâs going on here?â Liu Yue asked, now clearly suspicious.
âI swear, I didnât do anything like that. Hereâs what really happenedâŠâ
He explained the entire incident from his point of view.
After listening quietly, Liu Yue started to think.
She had worked with Lin Mo long enough to know he was quiet, awkward, and unusually upright. It didnât seem likely he would do something like this.
And even though Zhaozhao looked heartbroken on the surface, Liu Yue could see through the act. She was faking it.
It wasnât hard to guess what probably happened. Lin Mo saw Wang Haoran and Mu Zhaozhao together and misunderstood the situation. Thinking she was being harassed, he tried to intervene.
Then a conflict broke out between him and Wang Haoran.
But Wang Haoran acted fast. He had Mu Zhaozhao report it first and take the initiative.
Liu Yueâs private number was only known to a handful of peopleâand Wang Haoran was one of them.
But Mu Zhaozhao wasnât.
