A conspiracy had already taken shape in his heart, and what followed was the preparation of tools, the location, and the timing of the crime.
Three days later, having been secretly tracking Lin Yifei, he found an appropriate opportunity.
Lin Yifei had gone to the library, while her bald bodyguard had driven off the campus, as if to go shopping.
It was seven in the evening, and the sky had turned dark. Without lighting, visibility was extremely low, making it a suitable environment for committing the crime.
With only Guo Xiaoyan accompanying Lin Yifei, as long as Lin Yifei left Guo Xiaoyan to go to the restroom alone, he could easily render Lin Yifei unconscious.
All was ready; now was the time to wait for the prey to take the bait.
So, he donned a hat and a mask, covering up his distinguishing features to prevent being recognized by passersby.
Soon after Lin Yifei and Guo Xiaoyan stepped into the third-floor lending room, he followed them in.
Next, he picked up a few books at random, chose a corner spot unnoticed by others, then set the books upright to conceal his head while occasionally monitoring Lin Yifei's movements.
About an hour later, Lin Yifei, compelled by the urge to pee, left her seat and headed towards the restroom alone.
Watching this scene, the almost dozing Zhao Hong immediately woke with a start, quickly put down his book, and left his seat calmly, heading towards the restroom.
This was an opportunity that comes once in a blue moon and could not be missed.
No one noticed his actions, not even Lin Yifei's close friend Guo Xiaoyan.
Zhao Hong's disguise was too successful, nearly flawless, making it difficult for anyone to detect.
Having followed Lin Yifei to the restroom, he looked around cautiously, and upon finding no one else around, he slipped inside.
Just as Lin Yifei was about to enter a stall, Zhao Hong suddenly attacked from behind, covering her mouth and nose with a cloth.
"Mmmph!"
Fear filled Lin Yifei's face as she struggled with all her might.
But before long, she grew weak in her limbs and passed out.
After subduing Lin Yifei, Zhao Hong immediately lifted her up, moved lightly out of the restroom, then turned towards a nearby staircase and vanished from everyone's sight.
The fourth and fifth floors housed computer labs, and were only used during class time, so they were empty.
Thus, Zhao Hong reached the rooftop without incident.
The next step was the moment for him to enjoy his prey.
Why didn't he enter the classrooms on the fourth and fifth floors? Because the doors to the fourth and fifth floors were locked; it wouldn't be easy to break in, so he opted for the more convenient rooftop instead, assuming no one would come up there anyway.
Besides, there was another reason: the time Lin Yifei would remain unconscious from the drug was not very long, so he had to act quickly and decisively.
After carrying Lin Yifei to the rooftop, he gently laid her on the ground, then started to unbutton his shirt and take off his pants, ready to defile Lin Yifei.
Just as he was about to unfasten the buttons on Lin Yifei's chest, a pebble flew swiftly from behind him diagonally, hitting his hand and causing him a surge of pain.
"Ah!"
The sudden stone made him instantly alert.
This meant there was someone else on the rooftop, and moreover, an expert.
"Who's there! Who is it!"
Zhao Hong looked behind him, his heart seized by fear.
If it were that bald man, his downfall would have come today.
However, when he finished scanning the area behind him, he found no trace of anyone.
This puzzled him.
"How can there be no one? Could it be a ghost?"
"Forget it! Don't bother with that now, the task at hand is what's important."
Thus, he reached out again towards Lin Yifei's chest, intending to unfasten the buttons on her clothing.
But just then, another small stone flew from behind, aiming for his hand.
Zhao Hong, already on high alert, naturally sensed the approaching stone; he immediately opened his right hand and caught the stone firmly in his grasp.
He then looked back and upwards in the direction from where the stone had come, to see who was ruining his good deed.
When a man appeared before him, sitting casually between the stairs on the rooftop, reading a book, Zhao Hong's eyes narrowed, and he felt nothing but rage.
"Mu Yu, why are you spoiling my fun?" Zhao Hong pointed at the man on the rooftop stairs and angrily asked.
Mu Yu was the second young master of the Mu Family, with exceptional strength. He ranked first among Yanjing University's "Eight Great Scoundrels," with a Realm that had reached Breaking Mortal Fifth Realm, surpassing the other seven scoundrels by a wide margin.
Beyond that, he was currently 'Old Number Eleven' among the Thirteen Young Masters of Capital City, his prowess not to be underestimated. In a few years, he could possibly overtake the first-ranked young master of the Long Family and become the top leader of the Thirteen Young Masters.
He was hailed as the most outstanding martial genius among the many Clans, with a cultivation speed that was astonishingly fast; progressing to Breaking Mortal Fifth Realm in just five years, he had advanced one Realm per year.
After finishing university, he might be recruited by a great Sect behind his family and head to Cultivation World for cultivation; by then, he would surely dazzle and amaze everyone.
Mu Yu was aloof, often mysteriously absent, which meant many teachers and students at school had never seen him, earning him the reputation of being the most enigmatic among the scoundrels.
His 'scoundrel' attributes were not about being 'bad' but about being 'cold', 'ruthless', and 'merciless'.
Thus, he was a different kind of scoundrel compared to the other seven.
"I don't like being disturbed while reading," responded Mu Yu indifferently, his face devoid of color.
Zhao Hong detested Mu Yu's air of superiority, and in the past, he had sought trouble with Mu Yu many times, only to end up beaten black and blue every single time.
Now, with Mu Yu nearly a full minor Realm ahead, Zhao Hong was no longer a match for him. Therefore, engaging with Mu Yu would only waste his time and get him beaten for nothing.
Grinding his teeth, he let go of the rage in his heart and decided to find a quieter place to deal with the beauty, Lin Yifei.
So, he once again picked up Lin Yifei and headed towards the doorway.
However, just then, Mu Yu spoke up lazily, "Stop!"
"Damn it! What the hell do you want?" Zhao Hong gritted his teeth and angrily questioned.
He hated it when someone messed up his plans, truly hated it.
"Put the girl down." Mu Yu's icy response offered Zhao Hong no room for negotiation.
"Damn it, don't think just because you're one minor Realm higher I'm scared of you. I'll tell you this, I, Zhao Hong, am afraid of no one. Today, I've set my sights on this little lady, and if you're brave enough, come down and fight me for her," Zhao Hong burst out, unable to contain his fury any longer.
He had tolerated Mu Yu many times before, but this time, he would not hold back anymore.
"You think I wouldn't dare?" asked Mu Yu, his tone icy cold.
Throughout, he never once looked at Zhao Hong; instead, with the white moonlight as his aid, he quietly continued to read his book.
