Book Introduction
What happens when an ordinary guy's crush on a haughty beauty is exposed?
Of course, I'll get a good beating! (I just don't like you)
What happens after a beating?
Of course, I want to gain superpowers! (I got incredibly lucky!)
So what happens after you gain superpowers?
An ordinary boy's life undergoes a complete transformation: he, who was at the bottom of his class, gets into a top university, becomes a special employee of a powerful underworld organization, wins the heart of a stunningly beautiful woman, and grows increasingly powerful...
Does this mean we can be a little more arrogant from now on?
"No!" Ling Yun waved his hand dismissively and said calmly, "Keep a low profile. Because I'm going to... play dumb to fool the enemy!"
Chapter One: Unrequited Love Exposed
"Ling Yun, please don't bother me anymore!"
A crisp, angry shout instantly drew the attention of all the students in self-study class. A tall, pretty girl stood arrogantly in front of a desk, looking disdainfully at the ordinary boy who was flustered and blushing.
The ordinary boy, Ling Yun, had never received such attention before, and he appeared very nervous. Not only did his face turn red, but he also stammered, "Li, Li Lingling, what do you mean by that?"
"What do you mean?" Li Lingling became even more arrogant when she saw someone watching her. Her clear soprano voice almost pierced the rooftop. "Lingyun, do you not even have this much self-awareness? I advise you to go home and look in the mirror. You're not good-looking, not tall, and your studies are bad. You think you can pursue me with this kind of low-class love letter? How ridiculous! If you weren't a classmate of mine in Class 1 of Senior 3, I wouldn't even remember what you look like!"
Ling Yun's expression changed: "What love letter? Li Lingling, what right do you have to insult me?"
With a snap, Li Lingling threw the crumpled letter onto Ling Yun's desk. "Read it yourself. What I hate most are idiots like you who have no self-awareness." Li Lingling finished speaking with a sneer, and without even glancing at Ling Yun, she walked back to her seat.
Dozens of eyes were focused on Ling Yun, displaying a wide range of emotions: pity, sympathy, disdain, contempt, indifference, schadenfreude, and amusement.
"Stop right there!" Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Ling Yun's face first turned bright red, then deathly pale. He suddenly gritted his teeth and shouted, as if he had made up his mind.
Li Lingling stopped in surprise and looked at Ling Yun. In her memory, this quiet and introverted classmate had never said a complete sentence. How could he suddenly become so fierce like a lion?
However, Li Lingling didn't care at all. She was the focus of everyone's attention, outstanding in both academics and appearance. She had been a pampered girl since childhood, which naturally fostered a princess-like personality and temperament. Since she had no shortage of suitors, she would not be polite when annoyed by them. She had publicly humiliated suitors who were much better than Ling Yun, let alone Ling Yun, who was someone she didn't even take seriously.
Ling Yun reached out and picked up the crumpled paper, slowly unfolding it: "You have no right to insult anyone's feelings, Li Lingling. It's true that I have a crush on you, but I haven't harassed you. I wrote this love letter, but I didn't give it to anyone. I don't know how it ended up in your hands?"
His voice suddenly rose, and he tore the unfolded love letter to shreds: "If I had a crush on you before, my only regret now is that I was truly blind. Otherwise, how could I have a crush on someone like you?" With that, Ling Yun threw the torn love letter to the ground.
All eyes turned to shock. No one would have expected that Ling Yun, who had always been honest and introverted, would become so decisive. His resounding words made him seem taller and more imposing in an instant. Even some students who had been bullied by Li Lingling behind her back secretly cheered.
Li Lingling never expected that Ling Yun, whom she had always looked down upon, would dare to retaliate like this in front of her. When had she, who was always so proud, ever been spoken to like this before? Her pretty face immediately turned red, and she was so angry that she couldn't speak. Pointing at Ling Yun, she trembled and said, "You...you...how dare you?"
Ling Yun didn't even glance at Li Lingling. He picked up his schoolbag from the desk and went straight out the door.
The bell rang at just the right moment, signaling the end of get out of class.
Afterwards, the students of Class 1, Grade 12, whispered about the strange thing that happened during the break and walked out of the classroom one after another.
Tears welled in Li Lingling's eyes as she burst into tears of anger. She stared intently at Ling Yun's retreating figure, her lips almost bleeding from being bitten. The proud and arrogant woman now hated Ling Yun to the core, completely forgetting that she was the one who had humiliated him first.
Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she walked back to her seat, took out a sleek Samsung phone from her bag, and began to skillfully dial a number.
Ling Yun strode out of the school gate, finally letting out a long sigh of relief, his mind relaxing. Just now, he had been completely driven by an excited emotion, involuntarily uttering those words as if he were sleepwalking. Not only were others surprised, but even he himself was taken aback.
"Either erupt in silence or perish in silence?" Ling Yun thought of a famous saying and couldn't help but shake his head with amusement. He walked quickly towards home. At Tongjiang High School, the last class ev
