"Blackmail Generated."
The system's prompt rang out crisply in Lu Xuan's mind, and the interface refreshed, revealing two new exchange options.
"Option One: Exchange for complete blackmail, requires 1500 points."
"Option Two: Use Blackmail Exchange Voucher x 2."
Lu Xuan's pupils suddenly constricted.
One thousand five hundred points?!
He remembered clearly that when he dealt with Shen Yahui's trivial matter before, the blackmail exchange option only cost 1000 yuan.
Chen Xue's shocking blackmail, which involved "intentional homicide," only cost 5000 yuan.
But now, Gu Professor's blackmail had directly soared to one thousand five hundred points!
That was equivalent to fifteen million Dragon Coins!
If converted into money, it was three thousand times Chen Xue's and fifteen thousand times Shen Yahui's!
"Hiss..." Lu Xuan secretly gasped, "Just how big of a bomb is Gu Professor, who usually appears so dignified and ethereal, hiding behind her back? To make the system, which plucks a feather from a passing goose, offer such an 'exorbitant price'!"
He glanced at his remaining 1659 points, of which 1200 points were obtained from the system's special bonus for his dual-line operation on Chen Xue and Zhang Yining last night.
If he spent these fifteen hundred points, he would almost be back to square one.
He only had one blackmail exchange voucher left, so he could only use points.
However, as soon as he thought of Gu Yunxi's previous life's demeanor and her "righteous" gloating when he was down, Lu Xuan's hesitation instantly vanished.
You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child; you can't hammer a bitch without sacrificing points!
"Exchange!" Lu Xuan thought, decisively choosing the first option.
"Points - 1500, current remaining points: 159 points."
"Blackmail details being generated..."
"Blackmail details: Secretly transmitting important national-level ancient text research materials and undisclosed cultural relic information to foreign powers."
"Specific description: Target Gu Yunxi, since being promoted to associate professor five years ago, has used her position to repeatedly steal and copy research results of ancient documents, scanned copies of rare books, and undisclosed important cultural relic information obtained during participation in archaeological projects from within the university and of national confidential levels, selling them at high prices through encrypted channels to a certain major Western power's intelligence agency and collection organizations..."
On the system panel, a dozen-page PPT report with rich illustrations slowly unfolded, like a detailed scroll of sin.
It clearly listed the time, location, contact person's code name, summary of the specific data content traded, cultural relic photos (some with her in the background), and the amount of money paid by the other party and the payment path for each of Gu Yunxi's transactions... The chain of evidence was so complete, and the details so exhaustive, it was simply appalling!
Lu Xuan's lips involuntarily curled upwards, forming a cold and cruel arc.
Gu Yunxi, Gu Yunxi, as a teacher, yet engaging in acts of selling out her country for glory, you truly... have added a dark and heavy stroke to the words "being a teacher"!
Let's see how you can still be elegant and noble this time?
Gu Yunxi on the podium was oblivious to all of this, still immersed in her academic world.
She adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on her nose, her eyes behind the lenses cool and aloof, as if untouched by worldly concerns.
The slightly rigid dark professional suit dress, worn on her, had a unique charm, making her waist appear exceptionally slender, almost too delicate to grasp.
Especially the dark red hip-hugging short skirt, which perfectly outlined her perky buttocks, adding a few more hints of alluring mature charm with her occasional movements when turning to write on the board.
The pair of shiny black stockings on her legs, with their delicate luster, encased her well-proportioned and long legs, subtly shimmering under the lights, making her exude a contradictory charm of asceticism and sexiness intertwined.
The most captivating features were her slightly distant phoenix eyes and the small, perfectly placed beauty mark at the corner of her mouth, which added a touch of intellect and allure.
However, at this moment in Lu Xuan's eyes, all of this became an excellent irony.
He could even imagine how, when this PPT was made public, Gu Professor's cool expression would crumble, and what kind of horror and despair would be revealed in those phoenix eyes that always carried scrutiny and pickiness.
Lu Xuan leaned back in his chair at leisure, his fingertips unconsciously tapping the table, his gaze playfully appreciating the beautiful scenery on the podium, already calculating in his mind how to make this grand gift deliver the maximum surprise.
"Ding-a-ling-ling—"
The class bell finally rang.
Gu Yunxi also seemed a bit parched from speaking. She put down the chalk, picked up the lesson plan and her handbag from the podium, cleared her throat, and said "Class dismissed" in her usual calm tone, then prepared to turn and leave without any delay.
The Students in the classroom felt a great relief and began to pack their belongings, ready to disperse like birds and beasts.
"Gu Professor, please wait."
A voice, not loud but clear enough, rang out from the back of the slightly noisy classroom.
Gu Yunxi, who was about to step out of the classroom, paused, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, and looked towards the source of the sound.
When she saw Lu Xuan standing up leisurely, a hint of imperceptible doubt and... an almost inaudible disdain flashed in her eyes.
She had some impression of this Student; he seemed not very focused in class, always feeling a bit detached.
"This Student," Gu Yunxi's tone still carried professional politeness, but the sense of distance remained undiminished.
"Is there anything you didn't understand in class?"
Lu Xuan slowly walked out of his seat, passed through a few rows of desks and chairs, and came before Gu Yunxi.
He was more than half a head taller than Gu Yunxi, and at this moment, he looked down at her slightly, a faint, inscrutable smile on his face.
"Yes, Gu Professor." Lu Xuan nodded, his voice gentle, "I do have some academic questions that I'd like to ask you about in depth."
Gu Yunxi's brows furrowed even more tightly as she looked at Lu Xuan's calm and composed demeanor.
She always disliked being overly entangled by Students after class, especially by Students who didn't seem genuinely seeking answers but rather just making conversation.
She had an important academic seminar this afternoon, and time was precious.
But her good professional ethics still made her patiently ask, "Hmm, what's the question? Just say it here. If it's simple, I can answer it on the spot."
The implication was that complex questions should be discussed another day, so as not to waste her time.
Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan didn't rush to speak. Instead, he meaningfully swept his gaze across the few Students who hadn't left the classroom, then turned his eyes back to Gu Yunxi, the smile on his lips deepening.
"Professor, there are still too many people here, and it's a bit noisy."
He paused, lowering his voice a few shades, and added with a hint of mystery, "And, the questions I want to ask... might not be suitable for public discussion here. The content might be a bit special."
