Yu Minglang found it hard to control his gaze. He turned on the car’s interior light and suddenly felt that she looked especially pleasing sitting in his car.

It seemed as though the co-pilot seat was meant for her, allowing him to see her beautiful face with just a sidelong glance. No one else would do.

The car light accentuated her facial features perfectly, even her ruby-like beauty mark was pleasing to the eye.

Yu Minglang suddenly remembered when he was young, and his grandmother from a family of artists was painting with a brush. He ran over, climbed onto the table, and pointed at the painting, saying that the person’s face was dirty and had a spot.

His grandmother told him it was called a beauty mark, and only the moles at the center of the eyebrows or near the mouth could be called beauty marks. Especially for women, having a mole at the center of the eyebrow was an immense fortune. Moreover, only red ones could be called beauty marks, not black ones.

As he grew up, he saw a few people with beauty marks, but none was as beautiful as hers. Or maybe, it was because of her that he found the mole so beautiful. In fact, he thought this girl was beautiful all over.

Her beautiful face, beautiful mole, even her delicate appearance were all just right.

However, this girl was too clever, so clever that it felt endearing. No, it was only endearing to him.

This kind of clever ruthlessness, if used against others, would be terrifying.

That day, she took action twice, each time more ruthless than before.

If he hadn’t followed her, she would’ve certainly caused trouble.

What’s more, Yu Minglang was quite sure that even if she got herself into trouble, no one would be able to trace it back to her. Her method was clean, swift, and ruthless, making it deadly.

“Yu Dumbass, why are you staring at me?”

“I think that in the future, you might become a menace,” he honestly said. If this girl didn’t walk the right path, she could harm many in the future.

A highly intelligent person who uses their brain can play a group of people to death, and they wouldn’t even need to bear legal responsibility. They could just walk the line without suffering any losses.

Xiao Qian’s hand holding the bamboo stick paused, instinctively wanting to hit him with it. You’re the menace – you and your whole family!

But remembering the events that had unfolded between them, her hand holding the stick dropped, and she said with self-mockery:

“Yes, I’m a menace. I’m not a good person. In the future, stay away from me. The further, the better. Don’t get involved with me.”

Yu Minglang disliked her deliberate attempt to distance herself.

During dinner, everything seemed fine. Why did she suddenly want to break off all relations after eating?

So, he grabbed her hand holding the stick and hit his own head with it.

Xiao Qian was dumbfounded. What was going on?

“Just now, didn’t you want to do this? Do you feel better after doing it?”

Even if he was hit, it was better than her treating him with such distance.

“You… are you a fool?” Xiao Qian could only say that.

“If it makes you happy, I don’t mind being a fool.”

Xiao Qian wanted to go and wash her hands; her attention was all scattered now.

“Yu Minglang, I’m not a good person.” When the car reached her home, Xiao Qian didn’t get out, but looked ahead and spoke with repression.

She didn’t know if it was fate playing tricks on her, but since she returned, he caught her misdeeds almost every time.

Including the fire she started tonight, she was sure he knew what had happened.

“I believe I won’t misjudge you.”

“I’ve done a lot of bad things, but I don’t regret it.”

“If someone cares about you, you won’t do such things.”

Xiao Qian was shocked, as if something blocking her heart was being pushed away.

She was a psychologist. She had once calmly told patients with psychological barriers the same thing as Yu Minglang. But when he said it, why did she feel like something inside her was about to get out of control?

“I took pictures of that bitch, and I started the fire too. Why don’t you blame me!” She clenched her fists.

“I was a bit harsh when talking to you just now, and I might have hurt you. I apologize. I’m not judging your actions from a moral high ground, but I’m worried that your actions will harm yourself. I can understand why you want to protect your family, but please promise me that from now on, whatever you do, don’t harm yourself,” he said.

He looked at her sincerely, and Xiao Qian’s nose tingled.

“You’re a good girl, you’re still young. Don’t dirty your hands for people who aren’t worth it.”

“I hate you!” Tears welled up in Xiao Qian’s eyes. This bad guy, saying these things to her as if it was better than scolding her a few times.

Her tears were precious, and this guy managed to make her cry so easily!

Seeing that the girl was crying again, Yu Minglang became anxious.

He really didn’t know how to get along with girls. What should he do? His efforts to remedy the situation backfired!

“I guess you might have been hurt before. Regardless, the past is the past; you should have a better future. You’re so clever. You could use your skills to take revenge on others, but that’s not the best choice for you.”

“Then tell me, what should 1 do? Yu Minglang, what else can I do now besides these tactics?”

“I shouldn’t say this, but from a personal emotional standpoint, I don’t think retaliating against those who hurt you within the bounds of reason is a mistake.”

Xiao Qian was surprised. She even forgot to cry.

He didn’t think he was wrong?!

“But your approach doesn’t work. Firstly, it’s likely to cross legal boundaries, harming both others and yourself. Secondly, even if you take revenge on them, you won’t feel better. People with no boundaries don’t think it’s wrong to hurt others, but you’re too kind. When you hurt others, you feel uncomfortable too.”

Otherwise, why would she wash her hands with tears, and repeatedly emphasize that she’s a bad person? That scene had a huge impact on Yu Minglang’s heart.

“Yu Minglang, do you know who sent the person to start the fire tonight?”

“…Yeah.” He wasn’t stupid.

“If it was done by your relative, and you help me, wouldn’t that mean you’re betraying them? Have you thought about that?” At first, she thought that Yu Minglang would get angry because of that. But the way he spoke earlier clearly wasn’t the case.

“Everyone must pay a price for their actions,” Yu Minglang cryptically replied to Xiao Qian.

“Chen Xiaoqian, do you have the photos with you?” he asked.

Xiao Qian shook her head.

“Go back and get them. I’ll wait for you downstairs.”

“What for?” Xiao Qian asked.

“To correct a mistake I made..” He should have never agreed to his aunt’s request in the first place!
